Cliff Dewey’s Auto Detailing Systems

We had a gift card here and it was a little expired but Cliff honored it. He did an excellent job cleaning our 07 Odyssey with gobs of hard miles. Car was very nasty before. Cliff got out all the stains that could come out, if we got new mats the car would show almost as new. The interior work they did was amazing, and he was a nice guy to talk with. A little expensive but they do it right and I guess it’s an expensive area to live and work so I felt it was fair.

This was my first detailing service, but I knew it what to expect in terms of final results.
However, I got more than that. The service it is impeccable.
I called first and the owner, Cliff, spoke with me. He asked me to come in first so he could give me a price based on my car situation. Right there I felt I was in good hands, as any other business asked me that.
When I came in, he was attentive, polite and took time to explain me each service by demonstrating in my car how it would look like.
I was impressed. The care for the customer service it isnt something you see much nowadays.
So, with this throughout explanation, I made an appointment for two days later.
As I waited to the service get done, he gave me a free pass for the gym accross the street.
Exactly when he said it would be done, he called me to let me know.
After this experience, I have already recommend his business to my friends and won’t get even my car washed anywhere else but here.
His honesty, care and friendly environment won me over.

I came in today very excited to get my car detailed and having spoke with Cliff the day before to schedule my appointment, I was certain that I would be dealing with someone who cares for their customers and would provide great service.
I walked into the room to get my appointment started and Cliff was very welcoming. Shortly into the conversation he asked if my name was of Christian decent. I said yes and he indicated that all of the Ethiopians he knew were Christian. I then explained that it is more evenly split now between Christians and Muslims. This triggered him to go on a tirade about how Muslims are «taking over» and that it would soon be the new world religion. He indicated that anyone else would have «their head chopped off». He went on about several other conspiracy theories about the US purchasing guillotines and referenced the bible’s foreshadowing of these events and even went on to call the religion the «anti-​Christ».
Surely everyone is entitled and free to feel the way they want to feel and I will not fault him for being a human being with his own beliefs. What I disagree with is him using his place of «business» to spread ideas (poisonous ideas) to customers who did not seek his opinion. It was incredibly offensive and unprofessional. I am very disappointed and will be certain to not bring my business here.

Cliff and his team did an amazing job on my passenger seat. Salad dressing leaked all over the seat. My seat is good as new!
I love that his company does a la carte as I didn’t need a full car detail. So happy with the job!

Great service, friendly staff. Cars looks amazing! We brought in two cars at the same time and they did them back to back. My car was in fairly good shape, so we opted to have them give it the works — inside and out. Cost $ 350 and looked like a brand new car when we left. We recently inherited a hand-​me-​down car from my mother-​in-​law and the interior left much to be desired. It wasn’t trashed, but it looked as if it had never been cleaned in years. Plus, I recently bought some mulch and fill dirt and a bag broke in the car. We cleaned up most of up, but it needed some work. We paid $ 350 for this car as well, but asked them to only clean the interior. We were just amazed when we got it back. It looked brand new inside.
Definitely recommend this place. They treat you like you want to be treated as a customer and they take pride in their work. What more could you want?

Cliff always does a great job. I can’t imagine a clean, looking new car without him. My car was in bad shape inside and out. This car looks new now. Spotless. Perfection. I have been coming to Cliff for years and will continue to do so no matter what car I have. His work is impeccable. Owner– Lexus SUV Hybrid.

THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED!
I’d never gotten my car detailed before but I unfortunately had an incident where I got sick in the car and later had trouble cleaning the small holes in the speaker grill and the buttons for the windows so decided to have it professionally done.
When I called and spoke with Cliff, he told me he does this kind of thing all the time so he understands how delicate of an area those places are and what he could do. I went in thinking it would be impossible for it to be like new but he could probably do a better job than me.
I waited in the office/​waiting room for it to be done and Cliff would periodically come in with pictures on his phone to show how things were shaping up in the areas we discussed needed the most attention. I couldn’t believe how good he’d cleaned everything up! He even told me about a small issue that I wasn’t even aware of (since I don’t sit in my own back seat) and he was able to fix that as well.
When he took me outside for the final reveal, I was blown away. My car honestly looked, smelled and felt like I was driving it off the lot again. EVERYTHING was crystal clean and no detail was left behind. I got sooo happy, I decided then and there that I will have my car detailed at least once a year as a special treat to myself. Cliff and his team know what they are doing and are extremely passionate, reasonable and friendly. You won’t regret going there — especially if you have a specific thing that needs some pro help.

Support this small business, they’re worth the money.
Cliff (the owner) answered the phone personally, and scheduled a meeting the following morning where we would discuss my needs. He is efficient and professional, and has a crew of guys working with him who all seem to do a good job from the looks of my car.

— Doesn’t do a thorough job
— charges too much for mediocre service

The owner, Cliff, is also very friendly and down to earth. Overall, this business seems an ok place to bring an old car that needs to be detailed. However, I brought my new recently purchased car here to be hand washed, and was very sorry that I did.
Prior to getting the car washed, Cliff did an inspection — he confirmed that the car was in perfect condition. After the car was washed, there was a big permanent stain on the interior leather that could not be removed, as well as scratches on the vinyl and on the paint of the door sill, and scuff marks on the leather seats. Although I was very courteous and tried to problem solve with Cliff, he denied all damages and accused me of lying and bringing in my car damaged! He did not fix the problem, and did nothing to resolve the damages — no discount, or courtesy service — nothing.
Overall, although there is no question that Cliff is very friendly, in my opinion, he lacks honesty, integrity and honor. Moreover, his car detailing business lacks attention to detail, and his instinct seems to be to blame the customer when something goes wrong, which is the last thing you want when taking your car in to a car detailer.

Customer service was excellent. The inside of my car is probably cleaner than when I bought it five years ago. The only reason this place loses a star is the price. It was a little on the expensive side. Despite that, I would happily recommend this place to anyone who needs auto detailing done.

A little bit of rotisserie chicken juice spilled when the chicken in the container fell on my car floor. Two days later the smell was horrendous. I cleaned it, scrubbed it and each time the smell came back. I spoke with Cliff who was quick to answer my message. He took me in right away and did an excellent job cleaning the carpet in my car. 35 min later my car smelled amazing and the floor looked like new. He and I even had a good heart to heart conversation as well. Though the price was a little more than I expected I would say it was worth it in the end. When I can afford a good detailing job I’ll take it to Cliff hands down. Thanks Cliff!

Great experience. Needed a fast carpet cleaning on our minivan due to a sick child. Cliff took care of it right away and did a fantastic job.

IMPECCABLE JOB!!!
We were selling my husband’s car, which had never been detailed, and it needed to look presentable. I did my research and Cliff’s shop came up. I called and Cliff himself spoke with me and made the arrangements. We were on a budget and he was able to meet me in the middle (in my favor).
True to his word, the car was SPECTACULARLY clean when he handed it back to me. It made me think twice about selling it!
I had to steal a star away for one error that started a domino chain. He arrived late, which happens in life, but because he arrived late the job started an hour late and because the job started an hour late the wiggle room I had to get to an appointment on time was gone and because they were trying to get the job done in a rush in order to get me to my appointment I had to leave with the car still damp on the inside.
Bottom Line: Great job, great price, great staff! Just make sure you can leave your car, don’t schedule something right after like I did.

The back of my car looked like a bunch of 8 year old boys had a Batchelor Party… Cliff Dewey made all all that disappear.

Miserable Customer Service
Emailed this business in attempt to schedule a detailing appointment. No reply for 3 weeks.
Called this morning and was hung up upon after I said «good morning».
Looks like Cliff is too busy for new clients.

I have a 2002 Nissan Sentra with light grey interior that was in HORRIBLE condition. It was my college car that I just never cleaned and essentially treated like the bottom of my purse. It had gotten to the point recently where I was embarrassed to drive people around with me because it was just so disgusting.
From the start of my experience with Cliff to end, I was impressed. First of all, Cliff is easy to work with… he answers the phone himself, returns calls promptly, works with your schedule and is extremely friendly. His was not the cheapest quote I got but he seemed like he knew what he was talking about more than anyone else.
Cliff finished my detail in 4.5 hours and I was AMAZED by the results. He got stains off of my seats that I figured would be there forever. In addition he pays a lot of attention to detail and there is no part of the vehicle he left unattended. My family calls him a ‘miracle worker’ because he got the car looking so close to new… i seriously can’t stop staring at it.
You get what you pay for when it comes to Cliff and I do not regret spending the extra dollars. Great customer service, attention to detail and quality results are what you will receive.

Cliff is the man. My parents have been using him for a decade. I have been thinking about getting my car repainted but I thought I will try a good detailing first. I brought him my filthy neglected car and this man did nothing less than perform a miracle. He, washed, clay-​barred, buffed, buffed again and waxed it, vacuumed and wiped down the interior (even though I had only paid for exterior work), polished the rims, and cleaned the engine bay. I have honestly never seen my car so shiny since I have had owned it in the last 12 years. The price is more than you might pay from other detailers, but let me tell you, you get what you pay for. Cliff worked on my car personally for a good 6 – 7 hours. The man is a pro. Take him your car.

Few businesses have people who perform what Seth Godin calls, «emotional work.» Most people go about their jobs performing services for a certain amount of money, and at the end of the day, both the customer and provider leave with a task accomplished, but little else. However, there are a few people and businesses whose passion for what they do transcends all else, including their bottom line. To these people, what they do is directly connected to who they are. Have you ever foregone the convenience of a big box store to do business with someone who treated you as an actual human being? Have you ever had someone make such a lasting impression, you couldn’t possibly go to anyone else, despite the alternative being faster or more cost-​effective? These kinds of people, the ones who perform «emotional work,» do exist, but they are few and far between.
Cliff Dewey is quite certainly one of these special people.
When I met Cliff and toured his shop, I could instantly feel the man’s passion for automobiles. The photographs of years gone by, the drag racer in his shop, the handful of young men intently cleaning every crevice of his client’s cars– everything in his shop exudes a sense of something more than just waxing cars. It is as if there is an atmosphere of artistry, through which they nurse the very spirits of the cars on which they work back to life. It is obvious he is a man of faith, and his honestly and integrity are things one immediately senses. He speaks to a new customer as if he is an old friend, and immediately starts showing off pictures of cars, his kids: his story. He proudly tells of the fact that regardless of the day, if his staff is working, he is working,
I am a passionate car-​lover. Unfortunately, life has begun to pile things on recently and has taken away much of the time I used to dedicate to my car. I never used to allow anyone else to touch my car, let alone clean it. But its finish had fallen into disarray, and it needed attention. Lots of it. I am happy to say I have perhaps found a shop that is, by all measure, in a league of its own. It surpasses my standards.
When I received my car back from Cliff’s hands, it shined in a way it hasn’t shined in a very long time; it is quite possible it never looked this good, even when I bought it new. The attention to detail on its finish was staggering.
Anybody can polish a car. To make it stand out the way he has, however, takes a special love and artistry. Cliff and his staff are true artists. It would be impossible to give them anything but my absolute highest recommendation. Don’t even bother looking anywhere else.

I haven’t even been here yet but I love the customer service that I received over the phone. I called for an estimate and it was actually the owner that I was speaking to. He was very personable, polite and very friendly. He explained everything over the phone and was very accomadating with my schedule. He offered to give me free gym passes for a gym near by while I wait for my car to be serviced. I will update you guys once I go in to get my car detailed next saturday (⁵⁄₁₉).
