Also, what about any excellent detail shops? The "car wash" that I have been going to is okay but I want someone a bit more......"detailed"
Thanks so much!!!
Haven't found any dealers to be reliable though I use to prefer Glendale for oil...however, they started treating me like many dealers (a red-headed step child). I've not taken it for anything, but I use Freck and Sons Automotive in St. Peters (off 94/Page) for other vehicles. A bit expensive, but they seem very reliable and other people I know recommend them and have used them for years.
As to HID's, if you are putting them in off the internet, they can be tricky but not impossible (just search and you'll find some step by step instructions) I will say this much, I've got them on mine but never ever want to drive in a snow storm, they will blind you like nothing else. If looking for something along the lines of a factory upgrade, I've not a clue.
As to detailing, I normally wash and wax it myself, though I've been very remiss lately. If you find someone reasonable and good quality, post a message about it, I'd be interested...but as many pits and chips as I've got, I may just go to a paint shop I know and have them take care of the blemishes and buy a damn bra no matter what some may think.
