In the small print it says technician may suggest it needs double cleaning, i suppose that means double the price, deodourising extra and RETEXTURISING whatever thay may be also extra.

I did ask why she hadn't used him this time round... "I think he doesn't do it any more!" She said..

I wouldn't be worried mate!!!

We do clean and speed dry at no extra cost

We clean and rinse

We condition, clean and turbo dry

Think about this, some of the cheaper guys may not have spent much on kit, insurance etc and like the bear and the two Hikers story, you only have to outrun your competition.
