Car Valet- CrystalClean

TRS30

Anyone used CrystalClean in the Pavillions?

I am looking a really good professional valet in around Swords area.

There's threads in here you'll find on a wee search. I worked for them when in Gerry Larkins and they were top notch. Not sure about now...

Brutal is what they are. Muck was still on the car afterwards, mats left in, streaks on the glass. I can do better myself in half the time.

Looked at their website and seems to be all car cleaning products, nothing about actual valeting. No phone number or email so assume you have to send them a message through the website?

Anyone got any contact details for Detailing shed? Anyone else used them?

If you PM "curran" on here, he will be able to sort you out. It's himself and another lad who run it. They do a top notch job.

On the subject of crystal clean, I've used them in the ilac cp a few times and was delighted with their work. Seems to be mostly non-national staff they have there,they were extremely thorough and nice lads to boot. I'd reccommend and I'm not affiliated to them in any way for what it's worth!

Has anyone here had any experience with Argo Valet in Dublin?

id say the problem with cyrstal clean is that the are a big company. there is no real boss and therefore the staff get a bit lazy and dont really care as they still only get the same wage. i think you are a lot better going to a small place or private valeter who needs the business and should do a good job in order to get you back in the future as without customers they would be out of a job.

The one in Dundrum is some kind of sick joke.

Well I wouldn't use them for a different reason, nothing to do with valeting capabilities.........let's just say their HR system sucks........so I would never put 1c their way. I feel sorry for anyone that has to work for them.

If it's a Valet you're looking after, and not a Detail, I can highly recommend Stephan

If you like your clutch being slipped & wheels being spun take your car to CrystalClean in MahonPoint. Any time I am parking over there they seem to be driving the arse out of the cars despite only having to drive them 20 yards at most. Only last Saturday I saw one guy use a customer's Saab convertible to nudge a traffic cone out of his way.

These guys are cowboys, had a valet done (mini-delux) January 2014 at their airport branch - red zone) It was still filthy on return, after complaining, instead of apologising and offering me my money back they asked me to pay another 75 Euro (they offered me 25% of a full valet @ 100 Euro?).

unprofessional amateurs, just lazy really, avoid, at all costs.

No sign of a pricelist on Detailingshed, any ideas?

Speaking to Curran recently they aren't doing much of it at the moment but definitely worth sending him a PM as he's an incredibly helpful guy!

Had a very bad experience with staff and management at Crystal Clean Merchant's Quay recently. They removed a small purse I always keep wedged down the side of the seat during the valet and then tried to convince me I must have only imagined it ever existed.
When I insisted that the purse was missing and that it had money in it, the manager, V***, starting insinuating that I was only making the whole thing up and refused to take any responsibility.
I was 45 mins there being put through unbelievable abuse when one of the staff suddenly remembered he had thrown it in the bin. This was only after I called my solicitor and the manager V*** then decided to call the police on me for telling her that I shouldn't have to pay.
The staff member had, funnily enough, left empty plastic water bottles in my car but then went to a lot of trouble to pull this out from down the side of the seat and supposedly threw it out by mistake).
I got no apology, no offer of compensation, nothing! V*** wouldn't even pay for the extra parking she cost me at first and then threw coins at me.
The owner was even more useless when I complained to him. He said "V*** was very upset". What a clueless bunch!
