Ziebart's offered a product similar to what the dealer installs, but at half the price. The hitch was invisible - something that was important to us.

The service has been awesome. They are great to work with. I have used them for three years and I drive about four hours to the nearest location as the work is done so well. You get what what you pay for. They were able to do the work within a day.
Description of Work: I use there service every year. They have done rust and paint protection. They have cleaned the interior of my car and protected the fabric. They have done window tinting as well in the past. They most recently reapplied the rust protection and paint protection. They did the detailing and put on the fabric protector. They also applied a bacteria repellant in the interior as well. The cost above was for two cars.

When I booked it in over the phone, they vaguely knew about Angie's List and the discount advertised on it, although they took my word for it and did provide the discount. I opted for a Monday appointment as there was a further discount for Mondays and Tuesdays. Dropped off the car as scheduled, The place is a little hard to find as from the big sign on the corner it's not immediately obvious that the shop is around the back of the building. Only when I pulled in and couldn't find it did I see the sign had something like "in the back" in smallish lettering at the bottom. Shortly after I left they called me and said there would be a $30 additional charge as it appears there was dog fur in the car. No mention of that in the booking call or on the website, and it's strangely equivalent to the Angie's List discount, but too late by then. They called in the afternoon that the car was about ready and it was already pulled out and ready to go when I got there. The car had not been detailed in a few years, but the exterior wasn't that bad as it's always garaged. However,everything looked great and it's just like new.

The service turned out very well. I would recommend them to any customer or consumer who is looking for paint protection. I would recommend them in particular for any protection services even on newer cars. The package they offer is cheaper than dealerships and the warranty lasts longer.
Description of Work: They checked the exterior. They did a detailing and checked for rust. They did the service on a Honda Accord.

The service is okay. Unless you really want to keep a car for a long time the service is not for everyone. They were able to replace some rust but they did not find the rust on the inspection as I had to bring that to their attention. There are very few Ziebart's still available so the availability in most areas is not very good.

We have used Ziebart in Fairfax, Va on all of our cars. They do an excellent job and each year we have the Ziebart reapplied to cover the warranty the car comes home looking new. It is pricey, but we feel worth it.

I have always been pleased with the work that they have provided. They did a really good job with both services. I intend to use them in the future.
Description of Work: They did a detailed cleaning on my sons car most recently. They did a detailed cleaning on two of my vehicles. One of the vehicles was a 2003 Honda Civic that was caught under a heavy rain and the floors got drenched due to flooding. They were able to get the smell out of the car with an oxidizer machine. The other car was a 2006 Rav 4 that had defecation stains from a dog. They did a really good job with both services.

I have used them for years. They are terrific. The product is terrific as the detail actually lasts a year and all I have to do is wash the car and they stay in top condition. I am very satisfied with the service. The service is a good value for the price. The product and the service is exceptional. My truck is always parked outside and there is no fading in the finish and the Diamond Coat just works very well. I have used them for over 15 years.
Description of Work: I use them every year for two cars at the same time of year. They put on the Diamond Gloss and they detail the cars inside and outside. One of the vehicles is a truck. They put in an alarm system one time and it has worked well. They have put on undercoating as well. They have put on a spray in Rhino bed liner and the liner is just as good as the day that I put it in and the truck is a 2006 model. The cost above is per car.

I have used their service in many different locations as they are nationwide. I have a 12 year old GMC Yukon that looks new inside and outside due to the service.The investment is very worth the cost to keep your vehicle in top condition. Ziebart gets my highest marks. Since 1973 they have taken care of seven separate vehicles.
Description of Work: They have provided coverage for my vehicle since 1973. They put on a protection on the under carriage, the interior, and the outer finish.

They did an excellent job on the bed liner and the work has held up. I called most recently on a Tonneau Cover and I spoke to John initially and he is great as he is very knowledgeable and he gave me information on where to look for what I wanted. He did not try to hard sell me. I called back and spoke with the owner of Ziebart and he was very rude and he was trying to hard sell me which was not good. He was fortunate that I had spoke with John and I was still willing to use their service. The installer did a great job. The price was very competitive for the quality of product that I got. They were punctual and responsive. John and the installers made sure I was happy and answered any questions.
Description of Work: I used them once in 2001 and they sprayed in a vinyl bed liner. They put on an undercoating as well. They most recently put on a Tonneau Cover.
