Very Disappointing Experience – $198 Poorly Spent I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Tuff Detail Service. I paid $198 expecting my vehicle to receive a thorough, professional detailing. Unfortunately, that is not what I received. After the first appointment, the front and rear windshields had not been properly cleaned, the tires had not been detailed, the side mirrors were still dirty, and there was still visible dirt on my vehicle. The business offered to redo the detailing, and I agreed to give them another opportunity to make things right. Unfortunately, after the second appointment, I was still left with a vehicle that was not properly cleaned. My biggest concern is the blue wax residue and greasy-looking streaks left on the hood, along with smears and residue on other areas of the exterior. I have shared multiple photographs documenting the condition of my vehicle. The owner offered to personally inspect the vehicle and discussed having it brought back for further attention. However, after two appointments that failed to meet my expectations, I no longer have the confidence to trust this business with my vehicle for a third time. I should not have to keep returning and hoping the work will finally be done correctly. The owner has offered a $75 partial refund, which I have agreed to accept. What frustrates me most is that I paid $198, made two trips, and am now left having to find someone else to properly clean my vehicle. This means additional time, effort, and potentially more money out of my pocket. I work hard for my money, and I expected much better for what I paid. Unfortunately, this experience has cost the business my trust and future business. I would not return or recommend this service based on my experience.

I’m very happy with the service I received! They came right to my home and did an excellent job washing and detailing my car. They did a fantastic job getting all of the dog hair out of the carpets and making the entire interior and exterior look and feel nice and clean. The attention to detail really showed, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It’s so convenient having this service come right to your door, too. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great car detailing experience
