Detailer needed in Roswell, GA (Atlanta)

**JasonD** · 02-09-2010, 09:06 AM

I`m buying a black 08` GMC Denali from a dealer in Roswell, GA and am looking for someone to give it a full treatment before I pick it up on Monday the 22nd.

It has a few baked on bug remains on the front bumper, and a small rock chip to fill in. The rest looks good, but I want it to look its best.

Any pros interested?? I can post pics if needed.

This is also a good opportunity to show up this particular`s detail service, and maybe pick up a new account because they already had it "detailed", but I think it can be better.

It`s a Dodge dealer that specializes in exotics on their used car lot, so the work could be endless.

I will be paying you directly, and the detail will be done at the dealership.

Jason...

Have you looked up Bryan Barnsworth (GMblack3a) from Peachstate Detailing. I know he is in the Georgia area.

Yep, I sent him a pm, and am hoping we can work something out.

Sending you a PM.

Thanks Pat and David for your kind words.

Yeah...Bryan does really good work. Was just chiming in that in the event he was booked, I could handle it.

Can`t wait to see the write up!

OK...I don`t mean to sound disrespectful, but you, as the moderator of a detailing website cannot be serious about a respectable autopia level pro "picking up an account" at a dealership. Dealerships only care about the bottom line. They are not going to cough up what an autopia level detailer would charge. They will pay bargain prices for a "glaze and go" from a assembly line style detailer. And remember...90% of the public thinks this style of "detailing" is fine.

My vote would be for gmblack3a. And remember...think about how you want the vehicle to look a month from now. I can guarantee you it will still look just as stunning then as it will right after he finishes (assuming you take care of it). I have worked on cars months behind him, and they still looked great. You could tell he didn`t use fillers...he corrected it. Additionally, be careful of anyone that quotes you under $500 for that beast.

Yeah, your point was brought to my attention by a couple other people via pm, and I can certainly see where you guys are coming from with dealerships only worrying about their bottom line, BUT sometimes when business is slow, it`s good to have options.

Nobody said that if someone only wants to pay $10 an hour that they still get "Autopia" quality. A true pro would be able to adapt to each situation, and be able to do whatever it takes to make money and make the customer happy. If the dealer just wants a quick wash and application of something to fill all the defects, then just give him what he wants, take the check, and move on.

This is exactly what`s going on right now. I am buying a vehicle that was just "detailed" a week ago, but I don`t even have to see it in person to know that after a good wash, all those defects are going to start coming back out, which is why I`m looking for someone to give it a "real" detail and report back to me with any possible non-correctable defects that I`m not being told about.

On a good note, Bryan got the job and he`s going to do it on Thursday. :cooleek:

Jason, Thanks for letting me detail your soon to be new land yacht.

As soon as I get my Denali 1500 paid off, the wife might be riding high in a YD.

I think I will pass on black. :think2

Hopefully writeup to come soon.

No, Bryan, thank YOU for everything. It ended being WAY more involved than I thought it was going to be, and you definitely stepped up to the plate by going over and beyond any agreement we made, and I appreciate it.

I can`t wait to see it in person!!

PS, Let me know if you get extra time to go back and do that front bumper. and possibly *de-grease* the interior. I`ll certainly pay you separately for that if you go back.
