Make a good choice, Come to Jim's.

by ThomasNguyen at Citysearch

I just have detail done to my 11 Yrs-old SUV ML-320. My wife and I really surprised the works they have done. It were excellent clean thought-out entire car, even the paint I spill on the carpet for more than 3 Yrs ago its have been completed remove, the stain on the overhead driver side (due to many years smoking) also completed gone. The exterior is almost like show room condition. Chad, the Manager and the staff at the Sea-tac shop location were very friendly and work very hard to fulfill the customers want. Overall, we are very happy to see the results. I will bring my 11 yrs old Honda Accord in this week for the same detail works. I definitely recommend JIM details shop to all my friends and colleagues.

Excellent Service- My car has never looked better!

by Kmpistil at Citysearch

My car is now re-named the princess car by my little girl because it is so bright and shiny. I swear, these guys are miracle workers.

The service was great and prices were reasonable. The owner was very pleasant and helpful as were the other employees I encountered.

I even met another customer while I was waiting (his car was much fancier than mine) and he told me that this was the only place he would bring his new toys for work. (I believe he was having a clear bra put on his car). It was reassuring hear from another customer that my car was in good hands.

I had a full detail and will definitely be bringing my car back for service when needed.

Thanks Jim's Detail Shop for everything!

Damage Car with possible switching good parts to old one

by Creativeg1 at Citysearch

BEWARE... BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR CAR PLEASE TAKE A PHOTO IN AND OUT OF EACH PARTS, DOORS, MATS, AND SPARE TIRES...

Brought my car for detail but I wasn't please with the out come. I have notice after I got picking up my car, the two front doors panel has scratch that it looks like someone open it that now my doors rattles and the speaker are bouncing.

Then the third day I show it to my brother who is a mechanic, that I've noticed that all doors wood panel has different color and shading that I swear they are different before i drop them off to their shop. The man I spoke to in the shop told that my car is old.

Reading other review on this business, I'm not the only one has the same problem so i know i wasn't confuse nor wrong about my car and how I feel.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO THIS PEOPLE... THEY ARE NOT GOOD AND THEIR WORK IS SLOPPY AND DIRTY.

Damaged Car - Do not trust this business

by Local Customer at Citysearch

Damaged Car - Do not take your car there!

Went in for a full detail for both of my cars ($300/car). Dropped first car off. 1st bad flag was that they wanted to charge me 20% more than was quoted on the website price list, and to what the owner quoted me when I made the appointment on the phone! Went to pick up the car and drop my other on off. Noticed that the door would now not close. There was a 1/2 inch gap between the door and the top of the car. You can look right through the crack. And there was a huge new dent inside the top of the door frame. Looks like they backed it up into one of the many poles they have around the shop while the door was opened. Probably why all the poles have so many chips and dents on them as well. When I pointed this out, the owner's (Kevin) first words were "we did not do this" "are you trying to scam me?". WOW!! Full denial and would not even meet me half way to take it to a collision shop and have it checked. Basically told me to take a hike and that I was a liar. Took the second car I was going to have detailed and left.

I'm not litigious, but will most likely take a moment to have an attorney send them a reqest to just fix what they damaged. I have photos and video.

Boycott this place. Do not take or let your friends take their cars there.
