The Polish Shop

Jim was very nice and professional. I do not believe he is out to "get" anyone. It is obvious to me that he has integrity. The quality could have been a tad better. He let me know that if I found anything he missed I could bring my car back in. I did find some things, and I took it back. Jim was great about it and gave me no issues. My problem with that is that I am a fill time work, part-time student single mother; I don't have time to look over someone's work and then take time out of my workday to go back again to have it fixed. Polish Shop is much less expensive than the other shops around, but I need the whole experience.

I had a great experience with The Polish Shop. It is small locally owned business by Jim Garner. The Polish Shop has reasonable prices for auto detailing. I had Jim complete an interior detailing only. My car is used mostly for work and transporting our fur children (dogs) around Akron. Jim shampooed, vacuumed and clean my car's interior with the upmost precision. Jim was able to remove most of the dog hair and dirt from transporting my dogs. I highly recommend The Polish Shop for your auto detailing needs.

They did a pretty good job. The owner was a real friendly guy. I definitely would go back. They were real professional. It was under time constraints because we were leaving on vacation so there were a few items that needed to be followed up on and he said just bring the vehicle up when you guy get back and we'll take care of it.

Looks like brand new! I am thrilled with the work done.

He does the whole car even the trunk. The inside of the car looked like it just came out of the showroom . Also, the outside was awesome. I had my car done there last March and when it rained during the summer the car looked like it was just washed. I probably only had to wash it about 3 times the whole summer as the wax job just lasted that long.

Thanks Jim for the amazing job. I never thought the Kia would be that clean again after the kids!

Light scratches were buffed out. Exterior was washed and waxed.  Tires washed and made shiny.  Interior surfaces cleaned.  Upholstery, floor mats, and carpeting vacuumed and cleaned.  Engine compartment cleaned.   Shop owner was very courteous.  Car was ready at promised time.  I used an Angie's List coupon for a discount of $30.  Net price was $110.  We were very pleased with the detailing work and we felt that the owner valued us as customers.  Well done Polish Shop!

They do an excellent job, the best detailing I've ever had done. They work with you on any special concerns you may have and are extremely professional and friendly. In fact this is my second detailing done there and I will go back.

I am selling my car soon and wanted to have the inside and outside detailed. The car looks outstanding. The price was very reasonable, the quality was very good. I would definitely use them again.

It went O.K. I think they would have done a better job if I had paid full price, but I used a coupon.

Excellent work.

Good for the money.

We were very pleased with The Polish Shop.   We had our KIA Sedona detailed inside and outside.  The inside needed cleaned badly because we had spilled chicken soup on one of the seats.  The Polish Shop took additional time to make sure that issue was completely addressed and the rest of the vehicle looked like it came out of a showroom.  For the services performed, we thought the price was very reasonable.   We would not hesitate to use this company again, or to recommend it to friends and family.

First of all, the price was so low because of a Groupon that I bought in January (50% off). I called for an appointment in mid-July and was told that August 2 was the first day Jim could get me in. ARGGGHH, the Groupon expired August 1. When I told Jim, he said no problem, he would honor it. Hey, I liked the guy already.
Dropped the car off at 8:00 AM, met Jim and chatted until my ride showed up. If there is a nicer guy to customers in the area, I haven't met them yet. Jim told me the car would be done at 2:30 and it was. Let me tell you, I was impressed. I'm not what one would call "fastidious" about my cars, and it was pretty gross when I took it in. Talk about sow's ear to silk purse!!! What a miracle!! If there was a spot that wasn't touched by a rag or brush inside or out, I couldn't find it.... armrests, cupholders, door jambs, trunk - you name it and it was cleaned, polished and lookin' good. The car shined, the tires gleamed, the glass shone, the carpets and upholstery had been scrubbed clean... WOW!
Do yourself a favor if you're thinking about using this service for your car. Take it to Jim Garner at the Polish Shop and have it done right the first time. A top notch service.

We are extremely happy with the work Jim at the Polish Shop provided for us. The CRV looks brand new especially after we picked it up. We will utilize his service again.

I dropped off the car on a Saturday morning and picked it up in the afternoon.  It was spotless inside and out.

Had my van detailed and let me say I never thought with the wear and tear I put on my van that it could ever look like new again but when I picked it up I was amazed.   Jim performed a miracle!!!  It was spotless, so clean and shiny inside and out.   The windows were so clean it didn't even look like I was looking through glass.  I am so happy with it.  I will definitely continue to go back to The Polish Shop.  A fantastic job done, a great price (worth every penny) and he is a nice guy to deal with.   

I called Jim and got the estimate for the services I needed. He quoted me his July full detail  special price of $100.00. We made arrangements to drop the car off on Wednesday when my wife finished work and pick it up on Thursday at the same time so he would have the car all day on Thursday to complete the full detail service. Dropped the car off at about 5:15 and Jim was kind enough to wait for us. Picked it up at 5:00 on Thursday.

Overall, the car was really shiny when we picked it up. This was very noticable as it was really in need of a good cleaning and waxing. The carpet was VERY badly soiled on the drivers side. (light carpet and a lot of dirt left from last winter). Jim did a good job polishing the car and a really great job on the carpet.

But............the rub is in the detailing. Although the paint was shiny and the carpet was clean; he totally forgot to clean any of the glass inside or out. My wife was furious about this by the time she got the car home. Also, he did not fully detail the exterior. I have been cleaning left over wax out of trim and around moldings for two weeks. A little more time spent with a horse hair detail brush (or tooth brush) would have eliminated this problem. This is a dark colored car and the left over wax is very noticable. 

Bottom line: spent $100 and my wife is unhappy with the results. I did get my moneys worth, but, at the end of the day, the quality was about what I would expect from the 17 year old next door, not a professional detailing shop.
