I can first hand attest to Phil's work. He took care of my wife's X5 in Sapphire Black Metallic. This SUV had been sitting due to my assignment in Germany and did not have a proper winter cleanup after the winter in 13/14. He did a paint correction, interior and engine detail not to mention Expel on the entire front and some other areas common to the tire throw back. His work impressed my wife and that is very hard to do considering how much she likes to detailing her own car.

Phil's customer service is second to none in this realm.
