| - This was my first Autobell experience and overall it was a pleasant one. I made sure to clean out my car prior to my visit - all except for the stuff I had in the back of my CRV, but told them that I didn't expect them to get back there. After all, it was just going to get dirty again.
I purchased a Full Service Car Wash which includes exterior wash and vacuum/wipe down inside. I went to Autobell specifically because they have the brushes. I just don't feel like brushless does the trick on any car unless it's already clean. Now, my car was pretty dirty (hadn't been washed in months and we just had snow), so I was prepared for it to not be totally clean going through the wash one time. To my suspicion, it wasn't spotless, but better than it was before. The guy who wiped my car down did a decent job, though he left some spots that were pretty visible. He gladly wiped them down when I pointed them out. They did a great job vacuuming the floor/seats and wiping down my dashboard. The windshield though had some streaks.
For what's it's worth, I paid $18, plus $5 tip. Any professional detail is going to run you $100+, so you get what you pay for. The staff that work there are mostly high school aged kids and they are busting their humps. I was impressed at how well everything was flowing.
Pro Tip (because I'm a pro after one visit - ha): if you have any magnet decals on the back of your car, take them off before you go through the wash! I thought I had lost mine (total noob move) but it ended up being underneath my license plate. If you do forget, tell one of the staff and they will keep an eye out when they do a final sweep at the end of the night and call you.
