Northwest Auto Salon did some great work

[mtm235]

I just moved to Seattle from Philadelphia area. Had my car shipped out, figuring that was better than trying to drive cross country in the winter. Little did i know they were just going to ship it with a bunch of totaled cars on an open carrier. This is a little sample of how the car got delivered.





But what i was most concerned and super pissed about was this: small rocks/soil/mud crap all in the engine bay!






Took it to NW Auto Salon. They got me in the next day, did the undercarriage wash/engine bay/hand wash/interior cleaning. Amazing job. The engine bay picture alone speaks for itself. Great stuff thank you guys!!

No pix, but glad all is ok. Welcome to the NW.

hopefully the edit worked... i just really wanted to give props to the NW auto salon... also i have seen quite i few 1ers around seattle which is pretty awesome.

I just moved here (Puyallup) a few months ago; I have seen two 1ers in all my travels.

We're out there. Wow! that looked really bad! Did you know it was going to be shipped in the "open" like that??

That is an excellent endorsement of their work, they are just down the street from me and I was considering a full detail of the 1M before summer and my car is nowhere near the dirtiness level of yours in the "before" shots. Top work...do you live in the Lynnwood/Mill Creek area? Maybe I'll see you around.

I never asked directly, so I guess it was technically my fault... but still.

Definitely top work, and reassured I was going to the right place when you look at the caliber of cars they have detailed on their website, ford GT, viper GTS, lambo aventador, etc.

I work in Everett, live in Seattle so maybe one day on I5.

OP, you got lucky. I moved from NJ last November and despite paying extra for a closed carrier (poor winter weather report made me decide to ship instead of drive), my Audi TT came heavily damaged as their carrier had an accident. I got the car back after 110 days (Cantrell Motorsport, Queen City Auto Rebuild, Northwest Auto Salon) of it getting picked up.

Northwest Auto Salon did a great job with applying Gtechniq crystal coat and I most definitely recommend them in the area. And I recommend Queen City and Cantrell as well - all amazing shops and great customer service.

Oh man..... I would totally do the package you did but it's $1300....

pal: I cannot imagine what i would do if that happened. I can imagine how crushed you were. I'm glad everything worked out, but sorry you had to go through that. Thanks for the recommendation on the shops, but hopefully I'll never have to use them haha

Killer: your day just got better: it was only like $275 (including tax), engine bay, hand wash (no wax), and then got it vacuumed for an extra $10-15. Pretty awesome deal

Oh man. That's not bad at all then. I'll definitely take it up there one day for a cleaning. The engine bay wasn't in the best shape when I bought it.
