Hard to beat the value offered at Wolf Pen Creek Wash on Harvey. They do a thorough job for a relatively small dollar amount in the car detailing world.
I recently had mine done at Pitt Stop on South Texas. I will 100% use them from here on out.
Haven't used them in several years. What are they charging now?

I will say this...no matter what level you buy from them, it's worth every penny.

+1 for Pitt Stop
I got a full interior and exterior detail with hand wax for less than $500 on a midsize SUV.

Best in town by far, books up quick though.

Interesting, I clicked on the link, and it said there were no appointments available whatsoever and it says they're based out of San Francisco
Wow! That is expensive!
When I was looking for someone, I couldn't get them or 2 others to even give me a call back.

It was 4.5 hours of labor plus whatever supplies they used. It came back to me cleaner than when I drove it off the Mazda lot 6 years ago.
It wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny.
Bought my wife a detail from Pitt Stop for Christmas. Can confirm they are not cheap, but best in town. There are others who do a good job, but not quite as good at certain parts.
Like I said, he books up quick, usually by referrals. He is most definitely not in San Francisco, not sure where you got that from.
I've let my subscription die to try to see if I like texags without paying, so I can't paste screen shots. Ha.
When I click the link to book an appointment, it says no bookings available. I find that unusual in that I would expect, even if really in the future, there would be a way to make an appointment. I guess he is so busy he doesn't need to do that.
When I click on the book an appointment button on the top of the page on the app, it takes me to a site that has their location as San Francisco. It must be a glitch in their links.

I scheduled the Pitt Stop for next week. I'll give an update.
Darryl at Pitt Stop is the GOAT. I'd put his product up against anyone. I haven't seen him in years but he's an amazing person, has a rock solid work ethic, and works some serious magic on his car detailing. Highly recommend.
He drove me home when I dropped off my car. What an absolute gem of a person he is! We had a lovely conversation and his pride in his work and company are obvious.

I"m glad to hear that. I'll probably need a ride home. Save me an Uber.
Just give them a call the day before to give them a heads up. It won't be a fancy ride. It's usually the little shop truck.

I'll be sure to tell him you said I'd get a ride home
You betcha. Tell him Jenn said so.
You can try Jonathan Thomas, owner of Snooks Mobile Wash.
he's 1/3 the price of Pitt Stop and worked there before going out on his own several years ago.

Times have certainly changed. 20 years ago you could get a car detailed for 60-80.
I worked at me dads station growing up. We would wash cars by hand. Pretty much a detail job without the wax and charged under 20. I still complain to my dad about it and he says it helped them get business in other areas. Alrighty

I was paying Shammy about $200 for a full interior/exterior detail about 20-25 years ago.
Love to hear Pitt Stop is still around. We used him when we lived there (moved away in '10) and he is what I measured every detail against since. Never been topped.

I was thinking the same thing. Crazy or I am really out of touch. Figured $200-250 top end.
Everything is more expensive. He pays well and still can't keep consistent help.
The one mobile guy who called me back said he stayed at $300 for small "not very dirty" cars and SUVs. No binding quote without seeing it and wanted to use my water.

30 years ago I was doing full details for $100.
You could not pay me to do them today.
What is shammy charging for them these days?
Or wolf pen creek ?

I don't think either of them even offer a full detail anymore.
just wanted to say the Pitt Stop checks out. those dudes are good. suv looks better than when we bought it.
We just had our SUV detailed by The Detail Source. They came to the house and did a great job. They didn't use our water or electricity.

Yep. They're amazing. You get what you pay for. Congrats on the new car
But did they drive you home?
