Official Culebra and 1604 area thread (Hudson, Howe: lawyer, compensation, lawsuit)

hmm, my daughter took her SUV there and it looked awful. I was kinda mad because I recommended it after hearing such good reviews.
no offense to anyone, but it really did look bad. There were a lot of water spots and it missed a LOT of dirt. However, I am totally a perfectionist when it comes to car washes. I wash mine twice and will dry it, drive it somewhere to get the spots, and drive it back home to get the other spots. Then I'll bring my chamois with me to wherever I go next just so I can get the last couple water spots.

I thought I was the lone nay-sayer of the cove, but it isn't the end-all. I just hope they cause prices to drop for the tub, they usually do a wonderful job on my car.

[rd2007]

well, I probably have to disqualify myself because I am really the only person that can get a car clean enough for me..

All I can go off of is how my scion tc looked before I ran it through their tunnel. It had bugs on the front from 3 months of driving. No car wash since mid-October, and with one run through, the car came out spotless. I have heard others say with bigger cars it varies. Dont know why.

We send our full size minivan through and it even gets the brake dust off the wheels (and we don't purchase the wheel cleaning option). As for drying, I just figure that's the way it goes with any blow-dry...either drive until it's dry or like you said, just bring a chamois (or a Sham-wow!).

[TexandCajun]

I wash my vehicle often, mostly for removing dirt and bugs. Not to particular on a spot here or there since it's garaged and cleaned often.
What I'm a real stickler about is detailing. I've only had it done once here a few months ago and will be looking to do it in the next week or so. I'll give the Cove a whirl on the full court press.

Last time I used a place off Culebra, I believe. They tried to up sale me a bit too much and I *hate* that. Especially when I've dropped over $100 already on their service that day! Back off! LOL

Be careful when you go to the Cove. DH and I took his truck there on one of their busy days.. the car in front of us somehow managed to get off the track and as a result, all of the cars in the bay were ramming into each other like bumper cars for 2-3 minutes before the workers realized something was wrong. They had to shut it down and have everyone manually drive out of there so we could all assess the damage. We were lucky that we were in DH's truck, so no damage for us, but the little cars that were in there had to exchange insurance information with the Cove. They offered everyone another trip through to get our cars cleaned, but everyone was so freaked out we just declined and got our money back.

If you decide to go there, just make sure that there is PLENTY of space between your car and the cars in front/behind you.

ha ha, that's like offering people that just survived a plane accident another flight.

You know-- I wondered what if any compensation those survivors of the Hudson River plane accident were given....do you think they were offered free flights?

[rd2007]

I read they were offered $5K and some weren't happy with that, which I'm sure was influenced by some crap lawyer telling them they can get millions, before he takes 90%..

I would've settled for being ecstatic that I was still alive and watching my back forever because I've watched all of the Final Destinations too many times and am a firm believer in fate.
speaking of that, Final Destination 4 should be out soon and it's in 3D
