My buddy needs a mega detail on the interior of his car, so I'm looking for recommendations. I know most of the guys here are DIY, but he's looking for seat extraction, shampooing, all surfaces (on an xB), etc.

Suggestions?

Never used them, but I hear good things!

 

I had Accutint in Bellevue do my tinting and 3M clear bra install and I have to say they did a pretty lousy job for the price I paid. And they dripped dishwashing fluid all over the interior of my car and didn't bother to clean it up. I don't know if Seattle's operation is any different, but they use the same installers between the two shops.

Jim's Detail Shop (http://www.jimsdetail.com) has been in business a long time, sponsors the local motor sports racing events and I've heard a lot of good things about them. It was either them or Accutint when I had to make my choice, I should've gone w/ Jim's Detail Shop.

 

What about the quality of their detail work? I was browsing their site after posting and starting to consider calling them until you said something.

 

^ My impression is that their detail work may be overpriced. From what I found out later, I could have had the same work that they did on my car done for $200 less than what I paid. I was drawn to Accutint of Bellevue because they have a reputation of working on high priced cars. Maybe they take more time and make more of an effort when it's a Carrera GT, but as far as my Z, I was not satisfied by the quailty of work for what I paid.

Also when I called back to bring up the imprefections in the installation, the shop manager was conveniently away the 3 times I called. I eventually got tired and gave up.

 

So, we kind of have a back-and-forth on Accutint, and no other suggestions?

 

I'd say give Jim's Detail Shop a try. A few guys that run hot cars in the WWSCC use them for their detailing and asthetic needs. I've never used them myself, but I've heard good input from guys that have had tinting done w/ them.

 

Noted. Thanks guys.

 

I've had my Z detailed at Jim's Detail and was very happy with the results. It's about time to take it back in, I think.
