16yr old car is new again 5 Star Rating - World class

By all accounts I am a neglectful car owner. I have a great little convertible that I left to fend off the weather, not to mention concrete dust by itself. The car sat for over a year with no cover. Well it finally came time to take care of it and I thought, no biggie I'll just take it up to the car wash and clean it up, not so much. The layer of concrete dust that settle on it was stuck. I realized that I needed a professional; after doing a little research, I choose Mike's. AMAZING! The 16yr old paint looks new again, the inside is perfect. The found things under the seats that I thought were lost forever. It was one of the most meticulous details I have ever had done. The car looked as good as the day I drove it home from the dealer. Jim was so polite and accomodating. Thanks.

My vote for best car detail service 5 Star Rating - World class

Excellent detailing service describes Mike's custom detail. I have had two cars detailed by them in the last 2 months and have been very satisfied with both jobs. I hadn't seen the real color of my green Subaru for years - almost forgetting what the color could look like. I'm not sure what they did to get the color to come back on the car but it really looks new again. Employees are courteous and the service is personal too. In all, this is the best place I've taken my cars to be detailed (and I've been to several larger places that don't take the same care) and they are a very good value. I would highly recommend their services!

Pros: pick-up/delivery, attention to detail

Not a particle unturned 5 Star Rating - World class

I bought my car new in 2000 and never did a thing for it except change the oil .I relied solely on the rain to wash it and ,I'm embarassed to say ,never cleaned a crumb off the carpet.

Now in the year 2007 its time to sell my reliable,low mileage but funky car without a chance of getting fair market value because of it's apperance.

I took it to Mike's where this car was transformed! It came back glinting in the sunlight with every surface inside and out smooth and rejuvinated.Paint scuffs I thought were permanent were gone and the seats and head liner looked new.Everything was done to perfection just as described in his website.

I guess you can tell I was very pleased with Mike's and jim Nolin,the shop manager.It gets my highest recommendation!!

Pros: Excellent results
Cons: None come to mind
