The name of the shop is Dad's Car Spa. I am very satisfied with the overall results and genuinely feel that they offer good service at a decent price.

Hello All,

Sharing my pleasant experience with Dad's Car Spa, Thane.

  • Owner: Mr. Virendra Mittal (Very calm & knowledgeable person)
  • Contact Number(s) : +91-932686109 | +91-8291073115
  • Services Offered: Foam car wash, interior clean, interior deep clean, ceramic coating, teflon coating, denting, painting, polishing works.
  • Overall Feedback: Satisfied with the results, car looks extremely clean from the inside
  • Will I visit them again: Of course, I will not only visit them but will recommend them to my friend circle as well.
  • How much I paid: 2,500 (Includes exterior ceramic coating, which will last for 3 months, exterior complete wash, interior cleaning & polishing)

I was at my relative's place for a few days, and our i20 had accumulated a lot of dust, as we do not have anyone to wash it on a daily basis. Needless to say, it needed a good wash, road construction dust had settled on the car.

I had searched for wash & clean services and had Dad's Car Spa (DCS) in mind, but wasn't sure when I'd visit them. Seems this was the best time.

Called them up, spoke to Mr. Virendra Mittal & asked if I could drop the car off at around 11 am, he said it would be ready by the evening since the car had an electric issue where the headlights flicker (will be fixed this week) I do not drive it post sunset, informed that I'll be collecting the car next day, Mittal Sir was fine with that.

Entry can be tricky, you have to enter in Dmart's parking, go towards the exit and then take a left, there is a church and the DCS workshop is right opposite to it, there is also another route where you take a left from the main road (used that for the exit, never used to enter).

Car was dropped off on 9th March around 11 am & picked up on 10th March around 1 pm.

Initially, we agreed on Rs. 2000, which includes washing, wax polishing, interior cleanup & polishing. The bill came to Rs. 2500 as they did ceramic coating, a small amount I am fine with that. You may want to clear it beforehand. I asked how long will the coating last, Mittal Sir replied, "People say it will last 6 months, but I'll be honest & state that it will last 3 or so months", which is fine.

Before exiting, I asked if they have any other service for detailed interior cleaning, Mittal Sir mentioned that they do offer a deep interior cleanup, need to leave the car for 2 days, cleanup is done after removing seats, mats where possible, including wet extraction as well. I plan to get this done post monsoon.

Now the fun part is I don't feel like sitting inside the car as it came out so clean, spouse too is happy with the cleanup, before giving the car, my spouse asked "Why are you going for cleanup, it doesn't look so dirty", and post cleanup she said "No, it does look extremely clean, I feel bad for putting shoes on the mat".

Enough said, sharing before & after photos for you guys to judge.

P.S. - I had purchased frameless wipers which I could not fix & kept in the boot, requested Mittal Sir to fix it while handing over the car, and it was done & old wipers were kept in the boot.
