Depends on what you get, I'm in on the spring special, so its full shampoo and cleaning on the inside and 3 step polish, wax, and sealant on the outside plus engine detail and wax on the wheels for $300. Dropped it off today and it should be ready to pick up tomorrow!
Are u able to let me know how it turns out? Perhaps pics?
I'm interested, but need to get my stupid fog light fixed up first.
My car is pretty clean as I haven't been using it much, but I guess I can go there to get a quote as well.

For sure, I'm bringing my DSLR tonight with me when I pick it up and hopefully I can find a good place to take some pics and share with you guys. Will definitely share my experience. So far so good, Renee has been more than accommodating. I'm picky with my car care products and she was more than happy to use only products I've selected. Should have the car around 5PM today, but I got a BBQ to go to after pickup so I probably won't be able to post pics until later tonight.

The foglight looks pretty straight forward to replace, check some of the how-to's on here.

For a quote, you can e-mail her and let her know what you have, what you want done, and she will send you a quote. If you are on Beyond, you'll get a discount

"freak" snow storm? In Alberta...in the beginnig of April? Really? C'mon guys, I lived in Edmonton for 17 years and I've seen snow in every month of the year except for July. I remember one June (i think in the mid-90's) that we got 15cm's!! That's why I live in Toronto now

Cheers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure all Albertan's now it is going to come pretty much until May/June, but this one just came out of nowhere. Environment Canada issued a wind warning, I have a window office and it was pretty much clear skies at 3. Then as I'm leaving work, it started to snow. Just pisses me off when the stupid weather forecasters can't even get the next 24 hours right.

Doesn't look promising. I detailed mine a few weeks back just after the last storm. If you have a second car, best time to utilize it is post detailing haha...

Summers have been on for about 6 weeks. I swapped winters onto the 335 only.
