Lake Forest Detail Shop

[Male Mule]

I drove a fellow worker to your Lake Forest Detail Shop today to pick up her car. She was very pleased with what was done. I went to look at the shop. It is a very nice place with but one small problem. I cannot drive my car into the shop.
Why? Because the driveway is to radical for my car. It will bottom out. Therefore, I cannot have you do my Maranello. Whoever choose the location did not think about cars with a low clearence.

Oh, well.

Hi Bart,

I'll pass this thread on to the manager of the Detail Center.

What about you and your son trying your own hand at it?

If it helps, I'm pretty sure my Aurora can make it up the driveway. We could trade cars so you can get yours detailed. I'll throw some MPPP into the deal too.

I am giving you the “Thumbs Up” for the good learning time Saturday. I did not buy the stuff to have another use it. Both my son and I with be trying your system as soon as we receive what I purchased.

I will, of course, ask you some questions as my son and I finish our vehicles. Yes, I realize all of my answers are on this site.

To The Aurora Man,

I have replaced my front air dam three times. The next time it will become very expensive. The Maranello is a long car with ground effects. Bumps and dips are its enemy.

Right, that's why we can trade. Then your car will be an Aurora, which has never needed the front air dam replaced. So you'll be able to take it to get detailed, and I'll suffer with the 550...

Trade even. Sure, why not?

I wanted to take a moment to reply to the comment about the radical driveway for the Detail Center.

I will take the blame (or credit) for choosing and creating the detail shop. And I will also agree that it is a very difficult place to get lowered cars into, however, we have a method of getting cars in even if they are in the weeds.

We have driven a new Ford GT, Lambo, Ferrari (360 Modena) and several lowered Porsches up the hill. The key is the angle you come in and where you come in. All you need to do is let us guide you and if we see you are about to hit, we stop, but so far, this has not happened.

The location was chosen for several reasons, but the primary reason was it had what we wanted and zoning for this type of facility limits you severally as to the amount of properties to choose from.

Should you want to get your car detailed, let me know and I will personally make sure it is taken in and out in a safe and "non-scraping" manner.

Thanks

Thanks Chad for chiming in and offering to go above and beyond the call of duty!

Those parking spots are also tough to park in.

OK.

I will drive to your shop in Lake Forest. It will be of interest if I can drive the beast up your hill. My car does not mind driving on grass.

I will report after my attempt.

That would be awesome!

Let us know when you are coming. We had a gentleman in a 1940 Ford Truck plow up the hill last night...and let me tell you, the thing was in the weeds...I was pretty surprised.

It's all about the angle (that should be my new username).

Thanks

Chad

I went there a couple of days ago. Getting up the hill is not too bad but coming down is a bear. I did do it without bottoming out.
