Poor workmanship - Refused refund for guaranteed service
I booked Pristine Mobile Detailing (ABN 91 467 846 497) for their “Showroom Package” on 6 Oct 2025 (paid $100 deposit). The company advertises a “100% Money-Back Guarantee” and promises cars will be left in “brand new” condition.
The detailer who attended missed key parts of the job, there was no engine bay clean, side skirts, wheels and wheel arches, inside door frames, carpets, and the centre console were still visibly dirty. The manager (Josh) admitted the job was poor and told me I had two options: either “cop the shit job”* or he’d send someone else to redo it. After the way he spoke to me, I declined the offer and requested my money back under their advertised guarantee.
Despite acknowledging the poor result, they refused to refund my deposit, calling it a non refundable “booking fee.” I have photos, the signed quote, call notes, and text messages confirming their admission.
Additionally, their website displays Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot “5 star” rating badges, but their Trustpilot page has no reviews at all, which appears misleading to customers.
I’ve submitted a formal complaint to NSW Fair Trading for breach of the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2, ss. 60–61, 267) regarding services not provided with due care and skill and misleading advertising.
I don’t recommend this business based on the poor workmanship, unprofessional conduct, and refusal to honour their written guarantee.
