Anyone gone for a full valet at one of these establishments?

ive used them many times for a basic clean £10/15 and they’ve been very good. They want £65 for a full valet.

    Word is that a lot of them are a front for organised crime.

    Use one near me. They work really hard and do an excellant job. It’s so busy there are normally about eight cars ahead of you so handy they have a cafe on site so you can have a coffee and read the papers whilst waiting.

    I wouldn't let them do a full valet. They do a decent job if you don't value your paintwork and are unquestionably good value but do not spend 65 quid on a valet. 

    I know a decent bloke who does an excellent valet and gard x treatment for less than that

    The one in Makro's car park is good. They have a customer waiting area where you can sit and watch the dust-ups between people on here. 
    But seriously they are very good.

    The one by Bexley station is decent for a quick inside and out.  

    For a full valet it is worth spending £65, but not at one of these quick places. You can get a mobile valet out to visit you for that price and they'll do a better job.

    They are only good if they give a quick wipe of your windscreen wiper blades.
    Otherwise the windscreen is clouded on first swish!

    Valeting the car is part of my chauffeur's duties.

    I used a car wash service like this for a Valet once - They were thoroughly annoyed at having to do it. They told me that they'd rather do 15 cars an hour for £10 each than 1 car for 45 mins to an hour for £60.

    Thought that might be the case.

    If (in this instance), you only knew the half of it.

    Have used the one by the former Victoria pub in Charlton on the Lower Road for ten years. Largely the same blokes. Very friendly and a good service for £12. Not sure I'd waste £65 on my old jalopy, especially as I now have to get rid of it by October 2021. Will have to sell it to a Kentonian who doesn't venture to these parts.
