Questions
Questions people ask us first.
If yours is not here, ask the concierge.
The method
How do you wash the car at my door?
Your Artisan rinses the car with water from our own tank to take off loose grit, washes it by hand one panel at a time, rinses it again and dries it with soft microfibre towels. If the paint needs more than a wash, such as tar spots or swirl marks, they will tell you and suggest detailing.
What do you need from me?
Only the car, and directions to it. We carry our own water and power, so you do not have to find us a tap, a hose or a socket. If the car is in an apartment or office building, let security know we are coming.
Where can you wash my car?
In a driveway, just inside the gate, in an open car park or at a hotel. In basements and shared parking we wash only where the building allows it, follow its rules, and leave the space tidy. If washing is not allowed where the car is parked, tell us when you reserve and we will work out another spot with you.
What happens if it rains?
If rain would spoil the result, we get in touch before your Artisan sets out and offer another time, at no charge.
Reservations
When can I reserve?
From our first day in Kozhikode. Other towns in Kerala come after, and when you reserve you will see straight away whether we reach your address.
How long does a visit take?
It depends on the Experience and the car. You see the time for your car when you reserve, and your Artisan takes as long as the car needs.
Do I need to be there?
Only if you want to be. You can leave the keys with security or at reception, and we send you photographs of the finished car either way.
Can I change or cancel a reservation?
Yes. Our Cancellation and Refund Policy explains how and when. We publish it before reservations open.
Your Artisan
Who will care for my car?
Someone from our own team, trained by us and certified for the work they do. You will see their name before they arrive.
Can I ask for the same Artisan again?
Yes. Name a favourite and we will send them whenever they are free.
What if something is damaged?
We note and photograph any existing marks with you before we start. If anything is damaged during a visit, our Damage and Claims Policy sets out how we put it right.
Membership, gifts and certificates
How does membership work?
Silver and Gold members have visits included each month, priority when choosing times, and a price that does not go up at busy times. Black is by invitation.
Can I give an Experience as a gift?
Yes. A gift card can be for an amount or a particular Experience. We email it as a letter with a personal code, on the day you choose.
How do I check a hygiene certificate?
Each certificate has its own number. Enter it on our Verify page to see when it was issued and for which car.
