“First and foremost, Erik Dublin, owner of Carolina Mobile Wash & Auto Detailing, is a consumate professional. The pride he takes in his work shines like a beacon in the night. He checks and double checks each and every box when it comes to customer satisfaction. And, BTW - Eric is 100% self contained.

Here's the story's Cliff Notes...

My wife (72) & I (almost 77) are fostering the niece of a former employee. She turned 16, on 11/13/24. She's a great kid, an honors student, has a part-time job, does chores, volunteers at Pet Helpers, etc. She's saved enough money to buy her first vehicle...a 2001 Honda CRV, with 103k miles on the odometer our future son-in-law found in Savannah, GA.

For a 23+ year old vehicle, it was pretty well maintained good mechanically and aesthetically. However, the exterior did look old and tired. I decided that sprucing it up would be a great Sweetie 16th Birthday gift.

Unfortunately, even after a couple of baths, a Megiare's cleaner wax application and multiple attempts (with a variety of high touted OTC products) to blacken the CRV's very faded plastic trim, it still looked old and tired. This was not the Sweet 16 gift I was hoping to give Delaney.

So, I contacted Erik. I sent him some photos and we discussed some options, agreed upon a price, and scheduled an appointment.

I'm not sure what to call each of the steps in Eric's process, but it included a thorough wash, a blow and wipe dry, a paint correcting buffing with compound to remove the majority of embedded stains and flaws in the paint, followed by a second thorough washing and drying, an application of wax and an application of hand-buffed graphene.

After that, Erik attempted to apply a pro-grade plastic trim dressing. It didn't take. He said he'd return and apply a professional grade plastic trim dye.

As promised, Erik returned a second time and attempted to apply plastic trim dye. Once again, the 23 year old plastic trim was not having none of it and rejected the plastic trim dye.

Eric would not give up. He offered to return a third time (on 11/13/24) to paint the plastic trim using professional grade plastic trim paint. When he returned in the late morning of Delaney's16th birthday, he painstakingly masked-off all the plastic trim and meticulously applied the plastic trim paint. What Erik did was way beyond tedious, but 100% successful!

What Erik's did was akin to dunking that 2001 Honda CRV in the Fountain of Youth. Delaney was over-the-moon thrilled!

And get this...After making three trips, Eric charged the price upon which we originally agreed.

Kudos and thanks to Erik!”

“Better service in the beginning! Dry Towels are wet and sometimes not existent. The car does not come up as clean as it used to. Maybe the machines/system should be calibrated or maintain?
The kids and employed in general are great and helpful. My dog loves the treats!!!!”

“Staff are very nice and ready to help. The car wash gets dirt off your hood and sides of car however if you have a car with a luggage rack the top of your car does not get clean. If I am paying $30 for a car wash, I think the car should get cleaner.”

“The gas station itself is good. I cannot get gas here or park in the front because my push start suv will not not recognize the key fob. I have heard this from a few people now and see a review from 3 years ago stating the same thing.”

“I wanted to give a shoutout to Karl at the Spinx carwash at 78 and maple in Summerville. He did an excellent job preparing my car for a car wash. Normally I run through here and the workers barely squirt the car with water and then mash the button for the automatic process to begin. Karl went above and beyond— and on Labor Day Monday at that! Car wash does an overall good job, and I appreciate the free vacuums and towels to finish the detailing.”
