Long Beach BMW detailing special.

jj970 · 08-25-2010, 07:36 PM

Ok, so I've taken my car to Envious Eric to get my car detailed. It was a one step polish after clay bar. It looked great. He dusted the interior as well.

I was at Long Beach BMW the other day though and they have a $150 detail thing where you get a 3 step polish and clay bar, plus interior cleaned/shampooed. The engine also get degreased.

That's cheaper than Eric and it sounds like more of a real multistep polish.

Anyone have any experience with this service?

Thanks.

if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Many people can vouch for Envious Eric...

$150 for a 3 step is dirt cheap

shibby335i · 08-26-2010, 08:50 PM

Again, I've used Eric and he did a good job...about the same as when I did it myself and took 7 hours. I did a one step with him and it was $200. He took 7 hours too.

Eric is a very thorough guy. He spent 20+ hours on my car, but of course I paid for it.
(wash, clay, touch-up small paint/rock chips, 3-step compound/polish, glaze, seal, carnauba, remove/clean wheels, de-rust and paint hubs, interior, etc.)

IMO, I wouldn't let a dealer 'detail' my car. I don't care what the details of the detail say. Who knows how experienced the guy doing the work is.

that is a pretty cheap price

i don't know eric, but $150 for one step + clay is very reason and $150 for 3 steps doesn't sound right... as many have posted... you get what you pay for...

Anyone ever get this done? Coupon is still good and available.

Going to take advantage of this when the sun comes out some more. I live down the street too!

I can't say I had a positive experience with detailing at LB BMW... I got my current car there, and they only made the dealer-installed swirls worse.
