Unprofessional customer service and sneaky overpricing without explanation upfront (and if you simply ask questions about the pricing over text for clarity, you'll be met with defensiveness -- for example, when I asked why my car that is classified as a small subcompact model was charged the price that they said is for midsize or larger models, they evaded the question and deflected, and ultimately said I was "hyper focusing on the $20 difference in making a big deal out of nothing". If you value the service provided as a whole, which includes customer service, I do not recommend this company when there are so many other detailers who treat their customers with respect and as if they value them. I had left this review on yelp and they added a professional sounding response, that was night and day compared to how they spoke over text -- they could've spoken politely and responsively to my texts (as they initially did), but without a public audience, they chose not to. I was disappointed to realize Birds is a company that cares about managing public perception and optics, but not about speaking respectfully to their customers in a private conversation. The person was texting me like they were triggered once I had a question about the pricing (which is a normal thing to seek clarity around as a customer), which made me feel uncomfortable. I had assumed at the time of service, I was charged a higher fee, not because of the size of my car, but because they added 30 minutes -- as that's what I was informed by them at the time of service. Apparently, that's actually not the case: instead, they told me they actually had "waived that overtime fee" and the higher price is because my car is subject to a higher fee (which is essentially framing it as giving me a discount instead of overcharging me). That was news to me as no one communicated that to me before -- the confusing messaging about what my charges stemmed from versus not, and lack of transparency or willingness to provide clarity, was all around perplexing here and made me lose trust in this business. Lastly, I named in my first text that I saw a spider on my car recently (and named where I saw it) to provide context behind why I was ready to get my car detailed again so soon after the last -- an exterior wash and interior steam is all I need to have peace of mind that I’ve done what I can to keep my car free and clear of spiders, the same way I get my house regularly cleaned. I had nothing more to say about it than the context I was initially providing, but he went back to the spider topic multiple times, perhaps to evade acknowledging the topic I was trying to discuss (prices). He claimed I was upset when he said he can’t guarantee there'd be no spiders after the detail, which felt very odd to me, as I didn't ask him to guarantee that, nor did I have any response about it when he said he couldn't, as I was totally okay with that and didn't expect otherwise. At first I thought his reaction must mean he took it literal (as we all do at times), when I said I wanted to make sure my car is free and clear of spiders, or that he misunderstood me as having an actual infestation warranting pest control (which I do not), but when I didn't say anything further about it and it kept getting mentioned anyway, I realized it must be a form of deflection and defensiveness about the price questions. He went as far to tell me I wrote him a "whole essay about spiders", when the only thing I said about spiders besides responding to him bringing it up the times he did, was a one sentence description in my first text (see below). I've attached the conversation, to illustrate how they speak to their customers over text-- Posted with this person's permission as seen in the conversation.
I was pleased with the cleanliness of the car, both inside and out. Every part was cleaned thoroughly. I look forward to returning.
Thanks Jose!

Brandon is THE BEST! PHENOMENAL SERVICE!!! I don’t ever write reviews, but I’m coming here to say Brandon did a spectacular job! I had never had my car detailed, and Brandon so kindly walked me through what to expect and went above and beyond to make my car look absolutely spotless. Every nook and tire cleaned with precise detail! Looks Better than it did the day I bought it! I’ve tried to get out so many sun spots, paint nicks and scratches that he also managed to gently come out of the paint! A miracle! Brandon is your guy!! Will absolutely be booking again - thank you!
You're the best Anna, awesome review w/ pics! Brandon is a gem
Brandon came to my house and did a great job of getting the bugs off the front of my car. Looks like new. 👍

Brandon did an amazing job with my interior. The interior had years of dirt and grime and he made it look almost brand new.
Thanks John! We specialize in interior details
