Just a quick question to all the Vancouver E60 guys out there. Does anyone know a good detailer in Vancouver. I know that I should do it myself, but time is a constraint and it just doesn't happen. I'm looking for somebody that I can see for regular paint maintenance and upkeep. I found Unique Detailing but don't know anything about them. Anybody else??

Frank - I don't know about Vancouver, but the local BMW Spa at the dealership is quite good. I have had them do several hand washes and hand waxes over the winter months and I was pleased with both the price and result.

Did you check with the local dealers there? Just a thought.

Frank,

JS Auto Detail
4437 Juneau St.
Burnaby
(604) 291-6605

My friend takes his cars (M5, boxster, and Landrover) there and is happy with them. Good prices too. Of course it's also about convenience - this place is close to his office. Not sure if it's in your "zone" but you might want to check them out.

I've also used Brian Jessel. The job was good, but a bit pricey imo.

Thanks Westcoast M5,

I tried JS Auto Detail. Price was reasonable and the car looks better, but I think the job could have been better. After seeing/reading some of Fminus and Pyiu's work maybe my expectations were too high. It definitely looks better and it was reasonably priced so I can't complain too much. As a side note they do the overflow work for Brian Jessel when they get backed up. You could probably go directly to JS and say some money.

Id help you out, but you're a bit out of my reach.
If you're in Portland for business, let me know.

Your experience is typical for those shops, unfortunately...
