I've used those guys and I thought they did a terrible job. I know I'm pretty **** about my car but I wouldn't consider these guys good. Have they changed lately? It's been a little over a year since I went there. I also could have just caught them on an off day? I used a place in Rockville called the Carriage House? Small shop but the guy did a much better job I thought.

American Service Center, the Mercedes dealer in Arlington/Ballston has a large and busy detail shop. The quality is very good, and they typicaly take a little bit of extra time and effort on AMG cars. Give them a try, talk to Eddie Gross he is a service advisor in the service dept.

Are you talking about Mark? I was about to refer him too! He lives in VA too, so it would be a shorter trip than MD. And b/c hes not a shop, better price too He has done my car as well. Let us know if you are interested. He will hook you up for a good price.

So what's Marks deal? If he doesn't have a shop does that mean he will travel? How detailed is he? I might want to use him for a couple of my cars. My wife has absolutely distroyed her Navigator and I wouldn't mind having my old beater cleaned up. Send me some info on the guy.

Mark and I are just clean freaks and love to keep our cars clean. He got into detailing just to keep his car clean and then requests started to come in. He does not have a shop because its somewhat more of a hobby for him. It is a weekend/afterwork kind of thing for him. I will PM you his information. Tell him Robert and Ahmad referred you from MBWORLD.
