    Who would you recommend?

    Best quality and best price probably won't be mutual.

    Place in City Square do a fantastic job, inside and out, at a good price.

    Never had it done before but it would make a great present for a friend, what is the usual price for a good hoover in the car and the boot and polish inside?

    +2. I think it is €89 for a full valet inside and out.

    IIRC, for a car, €40 for a "mini valet". A Mini valet is wash outside and clean @ hoover inside. A full valet is washed and polished outside and inside and seats + carpets washed to make the car look like new again which is about €80 or so (Cant recall exact price)

    There are lads that do it in the Aldi car park. A regular wash is 5 euro and its really good. I never got the full valet but they are busy all the time valeting cats, so that is a good sign.

    That would be heaven, you'd be surprised what damage a 1 yr old can do to the back seat area of the car.

  • Registered Users Posts: 23 denis behan city legend

    Have a look at Wash & Glow, a new car valeting service in the Texaco
    Service Station on Military Road. I had my car cleaned before the NCT
    for €80 & it was well worth it. Sparkling!


  • Registered Users Posts: 725 ✭✭✭Funfair


    I think a full valet for €60 from the guys at the entrance to Ardkeen Stores

  • Registered Users Posts: 357 ✭✭billythepig

    Hi,

    In case some people get there by googling for them, I would like to NOT recommend them.

    Today I redeemed a Groupon "Car Valet: Mini (€22) or Standard (€32) Plus Autoglym Wax (€37) at ShineXpress (Up to 56% Off)" link: groupon.ie/deals/dealbank_en_ie/shinexpress-1/37682183?utm_source=awn&utm_medium=afl&utm_campaign=130858


    They didn't wash the seats, they said it wasn't included. The Groupon says interior shampoo and not even the floor of the car was shampooed.
    Then they didn't wax the car properly or maybe at all, as I could not tell the difference from before.

    But the worst is to come, they broke the front wiper! They kept saying it wasn't them but I am 100% sure my wiper was fine.

    On the top of that the job they didn't is not even good....

    Had a terrible experience with shine express last week. They spoiled my seats and car. The main guy is very rude. He is of african origin and is rude to any other color people.

    Totally avoid it!

    Where is ShineExpress? So many valet pop-ups. Haven't got mine done in ages.

    Lads in City Square have an offer on I saw somewhere - 19 for a Mini-Valet on a car. Not sure what it was originally price wise or if that offer is still in date.
