Auto Detailing Recommendations

[NCLaker]

Anyone have a really good recommendations on an auto detailer for inside & outside?? Someone I can count on to do a great job at a reasonable price.

Just purchased a used Black 2003 Suburban. Paint needs a real good buffing & waxing, black plastic trim retored, entire interior needs scubbing. Normally wouldn't be a big deal for me, but the wife won't hardly get into it until we get it cleaned up.

Prefer to go to someone in the North east metro (Forest Lake area), or East side of the metro.

Thanks!

i know its not remotely close to your preferences, but when I used to work up there this place was next door to my office

Mint Condition Auto Detailing

6520 Edenvale Blvd # 106B,

Eden Prairie, MN‎ 55346

(Crosstown 62 & 494)

they always did a great job for me and I used them several times for multiple vehicles.

Usually any dealership has a detailing menu board; they will usually do a good job. Take a look @ the used vehicles and that will give you an ideal how well their detail crew are...

Thanks for the tip on Mint Conditioning. Just saw on Angie's list that they are very highly recommended. Unfortunately the are just too far away.

As for the dealerships ... I try to give my business to the independent shops (same goes for fishing stuff) when I can.

Anyone have any experience or feedback on Blaine's Auto Detailing??

There's a place in Isanti on county road 5, first building on the north side, west of the tracks. They are in the same building as the motorcycle speed shop. I've never had any work done by the guy that runs the place but I have seen his work and he does a good job. I'll grab the company name and number the next time I go by.

You buy the suburban off cragslist out of curiosity?

Polish Shop off of HWY 8 and Greenway. It's behind Sears.

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone. I was referred to an retired guy in WI that use to have his own shop for 30 years. Ended up going with him since he could probably need the extra retirement income.

Yes I did pick it up off of craglist. I think I got a great deal - bought it same day it was posted. My GM mechanic went over it and said it looked solid. Just needs some spin-n-shine and some minor maintenance items done, then should be good to go. Even if some of the classic stuff fails on this one, I got it so cheap I should still come out ahead

I am guessing this was the one in Northbranch? If so the guy said it sold in an hour....looks like you beat me to it!

Yup that was the one ... great buy at $6500 with only 128,000 miles IMO. There was a 03 Yukon XL SLT with 130,000, single owner going for $7500 that I missed out on that was probably an even better buy given the upgraded options.

Looks like your still looking ... good luck with finding one! I'm picking mine up from the detailer today - I heard he spent 8+ hours on the interior alone (it was pretty dirty). Can't wait to see how she look!

I saw that Yukon as well....but never got a reply from the guy. Looked real clean!!

Man...starting to get frustrated. Have cash and been looking for a month, but I guess that's the way it goes when only looking for a great deal on a nice truck.
