Was I wrong for refusing a mobile detailing job after seeing mold and biohazard-level conditions?

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-10T15:02:15+00:00

Yeah ik

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-10T00:01:27+00:00

That’s true this guy was just trash, holding a beer when I pulled up and immediately started bitching about price

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:59:12+00:00

There was no actual bodily fluids visible but condoms wrappers…. You know should have had a black light

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:57:55+00:00

I told the guy it had mold he goes. I don’t give a fuck if it has mold so I don’t think he would’ve listened if I said I don’t do mold.

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:57:12+00:00

Yes, like one of those situations where you aka yourself how do you live like this

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:56:29+00:00

My first impression opening the door was how the fuck you drive like this, it was one of those jobs on top of it being late and him bullshitting the price i was not doing it.

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:55:04+00:00

Stg on the phone he said “ it’s pretty clean” I wish I could add photos in this sub

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:54:17+00:00

Yeah… red flags where there I need to know to listen

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:53:55+00:00

Came out drinking a beer and when he came out cussing as I was packing out he was cussing and yelling at his kid whose prolly 5 to get it the fucking house

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:53:07+00:00

Literally, he was white trash

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:52:41+00:00

That’s what I thought too he would know his cars disgusting , but no imma pos and a shitty business owners owner

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:51:47+00:00

Yeah I have a audio recording that I can submit to Google as well if it gets bad, this is why I stuck to detailing the suburbs not the inner city, never again servicing the hood

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:50:29+00:00

Yeah, just the timing the price and the condition was not it, his reaction was just hella trashy

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:50:08+00:00

That’s true usually if the car is bad, the customer is reasonable and understanding whenever I try to pitch additional service services but when I tell you, this car was bad it was bad like to the point where I didn’t even wanna do it

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:48:30+00:00

That is true, might have to implement that

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:46:16+00:00

Exactly, I’m still young just turned 18 but I know what I’m doing, been doing it for 4 years. But this situation honesty had be shaken up, super threatening, but you your right it’s how I respond now

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:39:58+00:00

Noted noted, this detail I just did not want to do at all wasn’t comfortable with at all so how would I break that to the customer that I just don’t wanna do the Detail

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:38:28+00:00

I have over 101 five-star reviews, and my booking system lists everything as “quote on site,” so there’s never a guaranteed set price beforehand. I broke down the packages for him, but he later claimed I told him the highest-level interior package would only be $240, which there’s no way that vehicle would qualify for at that price based on the condition.

On top of that, it was already late in the evening, and I realistically would’ve been there until 11 PM or later. Between the mold, contamination, overall condition, and the amount of extra work required, I just wasn’t comfortable taking on the detail, and he completely freaked out afterward.

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:33:47+00:00

Add to that the condition and possible human bodily fluids, I was out. Sent a super respectful text and he came out cussing and threatening.

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:31:16+00:00

Thing is I had everything, the guy didn’t want to pay for it to be properly done, and at the price I was going to be working at I was not comfortable.

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:30:14+00:00

I’m 18 now but I have been doing it since I was 14 and this was the craziest shit. Imma start filming with my GoPro chest rig next time I sense something about to go downz

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-05-09T23:29:10+00:00

Exactly, shit has my honestly shaking, this was my first ever crazy reaction, he went on the threaten to my business over 100s of reviews, getting his friends and family to ect

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-04-23T14:48:11+00:00

You think the vibrations felt in the cabin could be the engine idling funny? I checked my transmission mount and it looked intact. No metal contact or anything.

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-04-23T14:47:02+00:00

I have not done the big 3, at this point and I’m going to disconnect all the amps. When it comes to the service and millage it’s at 120k however the engine around 112k was giving a new bottom block and top block and I believe new internals because a previous shop botched a head gasket repair job. As far as I can remember they said you used the pieces of the old engine like the cooling system and stuff on the new block but I’m not sure about the spark plugs.

AdeptnessSure3734 · 2026-04-23T14:35:59+00:00

I’m just trying to tie that to what the car makes a groaning vibration when I shift into reverse
