Ziebart

Went a few days ago to have undercoating and rustproofing done on my 1999 Honda Civic that I spent quite a bit of money to have all the bad rust cut out and repaired. I figured it prudent to have it protected and since Ziebart is the only place around me that performs undercoating and rustproofing I figured I’d give it a shot. I read the Unilocal reviews and was concerned but went anyway. The whole month of November 2015 they had $ 100 off their normal rustproofing/​undercoating package, making it $ 400. I dropped the car off first thing in the morning and picked it up the same day at around 4. When I got home I inspected the job and was pretty satisfied. Upon closer inspection I noticed that in the rear they had missed a substantial part of the frame rail and sway bars. Not only that, they forgot to put a plug in one of the holes they drilled in the rear door jamb and also forgot to replace the rubber bumpers they removed from my hood where they spray inside (they were just sitting on top of the radiators, surprisingly didn’t fall out when I drove 30 miles home!) The next day I took it back and explained everything and the technician there was helpful and apologetic and actually had me come into the bay where they perform the coatings and showed me the car on the lift and let me inspect it, which I thought was pretty cool. I didn’t ask for any money off my bill for having to bring it back, just that it be fixed and the job that I paid $ 400 for done properly. Overall, not a bad deal, however if I ever get a new car I’ll take it somewhere else since there seemed to be some careless overspray on the paint, pretty minor, but if it weren’t a used car with over 200,000 miles on it I would probably be upset. If you have a used car and live anywhere that uses road salt during the winter I HIGHLY recommend getting rustproofing and undercoating done. If you see what the salt and water does to cars I think 10 years down the road the 400 will be well worth it.

«WORST DETAILING JOB EVER!» Unfortunately I went against my better judgement and ignored the reviews on this place, and I took my vehicle here to get detailed anyways. The main reason was because I had a Groupon, which was half off the normal price. I just didn’t know that «Half Off» also meant a «Half Ass» job to these people.
I understand that the carpet wasn’t gonna come completely cleaned, but they missed so many spots along the dash, the doors, the sides of the seat, the visors (basically everywhere). They did clean the leather seats pretty good, but the idiots apparently used the same rag to clean the front windows afterwards, which left a glaze of residue all over the windows (I wanted detailing, not window tinting). They didn’t even bother cleaning the rear windows, though I’m sure if they did I would have the same problem.
If you’re looking to have a professional detailing job done, I would advise you to avoid this place like the plague (even if it is half off). I truly could’ve did a much better job myself by spending $ 10 for supplies, and ½ hour of my time.

Fantastic my suv was a disaster and was the result of two kids throwing food and all kinds of items all over the truck. Petrified fruit, gummy bears… need I say more? When they were done it looked like the car we bought 3 yrs ago. Wonderful job! Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 was I only had interior detailing not exterior detailing. But I definitely will go back with our other car!

Just had my interior done and am very happy with the job performed. Little more expensive than the other guys. deal. but you get what you pay for.

BEWARE! Stay away and don’t give this rude crazy man your business! My sister took her car here to be under coated, her car was like brand new and she had just washed it when she dropped it off, when she went to pick it up, the car had 40 extra miles on it, it had black overspray all over it and the wheels were covered in mud, the passenger door had a dent in it, when we confronted the owner, he went crazy and started swearing at us, telling us we were crazy, I’ve never encountered such a rude, unprofessional person such as him, we had to call the police, he was that crazy… please don’t bring your car here unless you want it driven and damaged

Actually i had a good experience at Ziebart today.
I called Yesterday for Tinting removal and they schedueled me easily today at 11
They were fast and professional and one of the Staff gave me advise about car polish and paint protection.
I asked for 2 windows but he then said only 1 of them needs tinting removal and charged me half price.
Overall small place but nice affordable service.

I had an interior & exterior car detail Groupon. Scheduling was easy. The detailing was done on October 11^th. It’s now November 30^th and my car interior is still shiny & clean. Not bad for 6 weeks! This is the first time I’ve ever had my car detailed and it was quite an improvement! When I picked it up, one of the detailers came out to my car with me to make sure it was done to my satisfaction. After a couple of spot wipes, I drove away with a car that felt like new.
I’d use this Ziebart again.

Very, very expensive for what you get — and I would not call it «detailed».
I’ve had detailing around the Detroit area, but never since I’d moved to Ypsi last fall. I took my car into Ziebart in April and had to take it back twice. The wheels still had black streaks with winter road soot and parts of the car had never been touched (like the strip under the passenger door). Detailed was not what I got — and for $ 279-​, I was the idiot who paid the bill. They were cordial when I went in — trying to upsell me every service possible, which is (I guess) their job — but when I took it back the next day to have them complete the detail, they were pretty nasty. I would never consider taking my other car to them. I’ve got better folks to give my money to.

I called this past fall to inquire about rustproofing my car, and the first thing the gentleman asked was «You’re from California, aren’t you? I always get calls from Californians around this time.» So what if the idea of salt rusting out my precious car scares the heck out of me?!
Anyway, the service was great, they were very accommodating in terms of scheduling and letting Andrew pick up the car while I was at work. I got the rust proofing done, which was in the mid $ 400 range, and a full detail, which was near the $ 200 end. Expensive for me, but my car was like new shiny, inside and out. The only bad thing about the detail was my car reeked of car cleaner for about a month afterward. I guess they don’t clean lightly.
