First of all, I thought this guy had a place to detail RV's and I could drop it there.  When you call him you find out he had to give his place up because of the heavy rain he hasn't been getting enough work to pay the rent.  I suspect it's more like..he doesn't do such good work.  So he comes to you mobile, and that's ok.  I really wanted to like this guy and initially I gave him some extra money because I thought the motorhome looked pretty good.  However, after he left and I really started inspecting it,sadly I can't really give him the best recommendation.  He left a lot of places unpolished and globs of dirty wax from his rotary polisher all over the place.  I'm going to have to go over a lot of it myself again.  The windows he washed have smears and fingerprints all over them so I'll have to clean them too.  A lot of the extra wax and smears of dirt are up high, so I'm going to have to get on a ladder, which is why I got someone to do it in the first place...I don't like heights.  He brought his two little boys with him(like 4 & 5 yrs old) and their bicycles w/training wheels.  He explained that his wife was working and grandma was having issues with her boyfriend, so no one was available to watch them.   I was really worried that they would get run over playing in the fairly busy street I live on.  But, I wasn't about to babysit..that wasn't part of the deal.  I wish he would have just offered to do it another day when someone could watch his kids.  Needless to say he did a "quick" so-so job over the course of 3 hrs and spent about an hour of that running up and down both sides of the street yelling at them, which they totally ignored.  Not disciplned at all.  I know all of that distracted him and certainly hampered the quality of the job I got.  I kind of felt sorry for him, so like I said I gave him extra money because I didn't notice how bad it really looked up close until after he left.  He was a nice guy and mannerly and appreciative and all.  I probably should have called him to come back over here and finish the job and get all the extra wax off and the windows cleaned right, but you know it was my fault for not inspecting better before I paid him.  And maybe he would be ok if he left his kids home.  But, I'm  just going to fix it  myself and probably get someone else next year.

I purchased a 2007 Subaru Forester for my teenage daughter, and wanted to have it detailed because it was pre-owned.  I called Sparky's Auto Detail, and Ricky was able to get me in the following afternoon.  The price for the detail was quoted at $150 for interior vacuum, carpet and upholstery shampoo, exterior wash, and wax.  Ricky looked over the vehicle (engine, exterior, and interior) and determined that the dealership did a thorough job cleaning the car.  He did not want to take advantage of me, and gave me the option to continue with the service or disregard.  Ricky was very professional during this contact, and I truly appreciate his honesty.  We will definitely used this business in the future, and I will recommend him to all of my friends and acquaintances.

Real good!

I owned a 2002 Subaru WRX that I was in the middle of selling. When I realized how many people wanted to actually purchase my car, I had decided to get my car detailed because it had 9 years of dirt, dog, and muck in my car. The problem was I was at work and I couldn't leave, so I was trying to find a mobile service. Luck would have it that I found Sparkys Auto Detail online. I called them and asked them what the cost would be to do a complete detail on my car, including the engine, and how I would be able to get there and back with the car.
The owner of the company had actually answered the phone and told me it was $130 for a complete detail of the car. He also informed me that if I dropped off my car that he would take me back to work and pick me up when my car was ready. I was stoked to hear of such great service.
I took my car down to Sparky's shop (which is by the DMV on Powers). I left my keys, and he drove me back to work. He told me he would call me when my car was ready. I knew my car was filthy dirty and it was going to take a miracle to make this car look brand new. Four hours later, the owner came and picked me up. When I looked at my car, I could not believe it was the same car. The interior, exterior, engine EVERTHING was completely cleaned. My car had looked just like the day I bought back in 2004. I didn't even realize that my interior was in that great of condition.
Because Sparky's did such an amazing job on my car, I was able to sell my car for asking price. I showed my car to a few different people, and each of those people had said and quot;Wow you took really good care of this car, the interior and engine are immaculateand quot;. And all I could think in my head was and quot;man if you could have seen it before, you would not have said that!and quot;
So I will continue to use Sparky's Detail for as long as I own vehicles. I have already recommended them to other people looking for a good detail! They work they put into my car was well over $130 worth.
