Description of Work: I had my wife's car tinted. Called about 8 other tint shops asking what brand of tint was used and costs for her car. Almost all of them used a quality tint (3M, Formula One, Llumar, etc..). Ziebart primarily uses 3M products (didn't really ask about the budget tints as I wanted a lifetime warranty). They were comparable in price to others as well and was the cheapest when comparing apples to apples. I worked with John and liked his professionalism as I asked a lot of questions about prices and mixing different products. He didn't get irritated (others did) and provided me with exact answers. | |It was a easy decision to go with Ziebart at that point but I waited to review them to make sure the tint was installed properly. The install looks perfect and we're very happy with the results. | |Thanks guys, job well done and I'll be bringing all our future cars here to have them tinted!

The first year you do the service it is around $399.00 and then they half the price the next year. I am pleased with the service. I had a different car that I took there in the past and when it would be taken in for service elsewhere, I would get comments on how new the car looked due to the paint protection. I think it is a reasonable price for subsequent years for the service.

The work was good as far as the product goes. They took more than five hours to do the work and I was surprised by that. I would still recommend them as the work was done very well.
Description of Work: They added a hitch to a van. They did a detail as well. The hitch was around $350.00 and the detail was $150.00.

The service has been good. The interior cleaning worked out well as they were able to get an ink stain out. They did diamond coating on the exterior and it seems to work out well.

The car looked great when I picked it up. They had also been able to match the paint. All the dents were gone!
Description of Work: Ziebart completely detailed the interior, the engine, the exterior of the Subaru Forester, which was filthy due to the hauling of all kinds of garden plants and soils. When I asked them if they could get someone to take out all the minor dents on the body, they called a specialist for this type of non-invasive dent removal. Because the price had risen so much despite the Angie's list coupon, they threw in RAIN-X on all windows.

Patrick took the time to explain the details of the bed liner I has seen. He examined my truck then gave me a quote and suggested that I might also want to get the truck undercoated. I concurred and had both services performed. The work was performed as quoted and delivered at the time quoted. The best parts of dealing with Patrick and this company are: 1. there was no pressure to buy. 2. the workmanship was excellent - no over spray, all bed liner edges are neat and trim. 3. no "extra" charges 4. AND it was delivered when promised. Absolutely great experience. Highly recommend Ziebart in Fairfax.

I made an appointment over the phone within a week of needing the service. I brought the car in, went over pricing with the manager, and then Enterprise picked me up. I still had to fill out the rental car paperwork but Ziebart payed for it and it didn't take too long. When I returned in the afternoon I was a few minutes late due to traffice, but I called ahead and it wasn't a problem. The manager went over the services performed during a walk-around of the vehicle. Everything was very professional. The hitch has performed extremely well through some rough terrain with a bike rack attached, and the detailing is still noticeable 4 months later.
Description of Work: The Ziebart staff performed a full interior and exterior detailing of our vehicle and also installed a 2-inch receiver hitch. Since I needed to leave the car for most of the day, they provided a complimentary rental car service with Enterprise which was less than a mile down the road (Enterprise picks you up).

I brought my brother's car here for the finishing touches of the service offered by Pope's Auto Body (directly across the street). It was a coupon that Mr. Pope offered with body work completed at his shop (offered via Angie's List). It was for an Express Interior cleaning and a hand wash with Rain-X wax/compound added to the exterior. This package typically runs around $75, but I was getting it free. Patrick took care of me. He told me the work would take approx. 2 hrs (spot on time) and inspected the car with me after the work was done. The interior was done beautifully. Even the front carpets (which were badly stained) looked new again. It appeared they Armor-alled much of the interior and cleaned the leather seats accordingly. Everything looked great! The exterior shined wonderfully and made the recently completed body work look even better than it had before. The waiting room is comfortable. Coffee is offered as well as a TV. Patrick was very helpful with a problem I was having with the car (non-cleaning related). He offered me some very good advice which I plan on taking him up on. Would definitely use this shop for future detailing and cleaning. Well done!

I recently picked up an 11 year old sedan. Though the interior and exterior were in excellent condition, I wanted to get the interior fully detailed and have the exterior washed/waxed. I dropped the vehicle off at 8:00 am and got a ride to my office by one of the Ziebart employees. Patrick (front desk) called me approximately 1/2 an hour before the pick-up time we initially agreed upon and asked if they could keep my car for another couple hours since they were running behind since they were a man down that day... no sweat, at least someone called to inform me. I picked up the vehicle at 4pm and it looked great. Joe enjoys detailing cars and takes pride in his work, which definitely showed. The window tint turned out great as well. I will definitely use them (and will specifically ask for Joe) again.
Description of Work: Had my sedan fully detailed inside and out. Also had the windows tinted.

The quality of the work on each car was superb and the customer service was excellent. I dealt in each case with a man named Mike.
Description of Work: The above price of $400.00 ($200.00 for each car) includes application of the annual renewal treatment to the Diamond Gloss to my 2009 Toyota Avalon and a complete detail and wax of my 2005 Toyota Prius which was suffering mightily 6 years of neglect.

The experience was pretty standard, really. I called, said I wanted to bring my car in for my yearly fine-toothed-comb detailing. Jonathan (sp?) was professional and helpful as he always is. Appointment was scheduled, I brought the car in, dropped it off, and got the call a few hours later. I returned, picked up my car (in all its glossy splendor), paid, and was on my way - a happy camper.
Description of Work: I'm very picky about detailing for my 2004 Subaru WRX STi. I go to Ziebart pretty much every year to get it clean, for one, but also to put a coat of protection on before the winter weather (and snow / salt) rear their heads. I have always been very happy with Ziebart and plan on visiting them every year for the foreseeable future. I live about 35 minutes west of Ziebart and the drive is definitely worth it.

I have been going there for at least 10 years and I take all my new cars in because they do a better job than the dealer. They also have all types of accessories for your vehicles. They also do truck bed lining too. I have been very happy with them. Whatever this company has done for me has outlasted the time expected.

I dropped my truck off on A Saturday and told them I wanted it by COB Monday. They told me that it would be ready by Monday afternoon. I went to pick my truck up on Tuesday morning. They had not done the work they promised. The supervisor informed me that he had not actually supervised the work. They promised to call me when it was ready but never did. I had to call them and make a second trip to the shop to get my truck. The owner of the company, and Mr. Duran's only response was "my manager did not do his job." Apparently "I am sorry" are not words he uses regularly. Don't go to this place. Their attention to detail and customer relations need lots of work!
