Arrows referred me here after finding moisture and mold in my F150, and I'm glad they did. Jeff, the owner, reached out almost immediately and walked me through exactly what was going on and what my options were. No runaround, just straight answers. The damage was worse than I'd hoped — carpet pulled, insulation replaced, full aeration and professional cleaning. But the truck came back looking immaculate. You genuinely cannot tell anything was ever wrong. Jeff and his team did exceptional work and made a stressful situation easy to deal with. I'd send anyone here without hesitation.

I had a great experience working with the Leschi Auto Salon team. My car had mold damage, and they worked with me to find a solution that was right for me. They disinfected it, detailed it, and left it looking better than it has looked in years. I would highly recommend this shop.

I highly recommend Jeff and his team for car detailing! They consistently provide excellent service and truly work with what your car needs within your budget. I have been using his services since 2022. Jeff takes the time to assess your car's condition and makes honest recommendations rather than upselling services you don't need. He's incredibly accommodating with pricing and always delivers outstanding results. My car is always spick and span after his team works on it. Professional, trustworthy, and reasonably priced for the services he provides.

Jeff and his team were responsive, transparent, and professional. I had some rodent damage, and they were the only ones I talked with who could speak knowledgeably to that, and even showed me some additional things I wouldn't have noticed. Jeff was really great to work with. Highly recommended.

TL;DR: If you are a new customer to this place I highly suggest you heed some of the negative reviews before making a decision, including this one. The bottom line is that if you are someone who is willing to say no to more expensive options that are out of your budget and value consideration, and if you are someone who is unlucky enough to arrive at this business early in their opening hours, before the owner has arrived, you owe it to yourself to find another detailer who will treat you with respect. If you really are hell bent on hiring this business, just make sure to speak only to the owner and see how he reacts if you push back on any extra service that he offers. As for my specific story, I am not a detailing expert and I only went to Auto Salon at Leschi on the recommendation of my girlfriend, who had seen the excellent quality of their work on her friend's car a while back. We were choosing to try this place even though it was a pain to get to because of their reputation, which is an enviable position for a business to have. From my perspective our experience was totally normal: we arrived early in the day, sometime after 8am, because the shop opened early and that was easier to accommodate my work hours. We spoke to an employee at the store. He looked at our car, we discussed the kind of detailing on both interior and exterior that I wanted, he tried to sell us a few add-ons that I ultimately said no to, and gave us a cost estimate and a time to bring the car. We went home. I have never had an owner of a shop call me back on the phone hours after committing to a service to try to re-upsell me. First he said that I would need to bring in the car earlier than his employee told me, which was fine, but by agreeing to that he started to totally spiral into an escalation of services and products. By throwing his own employee under the bus, he said he wanted another chance to explain to me all of the services I had already agreed to, and the various extras that I had said no to. I made a grave error in saying the words "paint detailing" because he then started popping off about needing me to go get paint from a dealer so they could touch up all the little chips and deep scratches, which was not at all what I was talking about and not something I wanted, which is obvious since that was not part of the first booking at all. It is honestly astonishing the level of ego trip one has to be on to say your employee is the bad salesman when he's the one who got you a $750 job, and it is even more catastrophic when it is you, the owner, and not the customer, who backs out in the end, saying that unless I get a brand new estimate with him there's no deal. We wanted to make this work so bad that we even suggested just an interior job, so that we could try again on the exterior later, and the owner refused. As part of his frantic attempt at getting takesies backsies on re-selling me my own booking, the owner told me that he lives 1.5 hours away and can't always get to work on time. I think it should be obvious how absurd this excuse is. Certainly his employees would not have such leeway no matter how far away they lived, but more critically, if the only valid sales for this place come straight from the owner himself, then the store should only operate on hours that he can come to work, or all estimates should require an appointment. There is no reason this place has to be open at 8am to the public if a valid sale can't happen at 8am on a walk in. The only good thing that came out of this, for me, was that I found another detailer closer to home who is well adjusted and did a great job for my first interior detail job. I encourage you to similarly learn from my mistake. And by the way, if the owner comments and says I'm not a real customer, I hope it will be abundantly clear why that response is funny. You're right, dude. I, like an idiot, tried to be your customer, but you really showed me! Seriously, the used car dealership people had more chill than this guy.
