About a week ago, our primary office contact for building management forwarded an email out to our local employees that a new on-demand car service would be parked outside of our building today. Just so happened it had been in my head for a few weeks now how desperately I needed my car interior cleaned. Driving since 1992, and owning my own vehicles since 1994, a total of 25 years behind the wheel and 23 of ownership, I have never ever, not once hired a company to perform an interior detail on my car. Why? Because it’s something I can easily do myself, to save money and burn calories (same reason I’ve never hired house cleaners or a mowing service either). But, here I was, pushing 35 weeks pregnant, and knowing that the longer I put it off the less likely I was to do it. And, my husband already picking up the slack (housework and child rearing that needs to be done because I’m not currently physically able)…no way was I going to ask him to do it. I figured it would be a gift to myself.
10% off #Baltimore car care service, Slick, code ALLIN10 - search 'helloslick' in iTunes, book via app. #helloslick Click To TweetThe email included details for booking one’s auto service online (helloslick.com) or via the mobile app (search “helloslick” in the Apple Store), allowing you to select location, service, and time. (Android app is in development and is set to release in 2018). I took a look at the menu of services to find out what they offered and pricing. Knowing this couldn’t be more opportune, I booked my appointment, and received a confirmation email stating that I would receive a phone call the morning of my service to arrange for drop off or pick up of my vehicle.

- 45pt inspection
- air filters

Community & Giving Back
Once my service was booked, I also learned that Slick is Green Certified and uses clean, environmentally-friendly processed to deliver services at Class A office buildings, airports, and pristine golf courses. This is because they recycle and upcycle the used oil, by giving to charitable organizations for winter-month use.
Additionally, every month, Slick takes nominations from customers on someone they know that would benefit from a free oil change. Their hope is to help single mothers in particular. To make a nomination, you can send a message to [email protected].
My Personal Service Experience
Around 9:15am this morning, I received a text message stating they were setup and ready for my vehicle. The pop-up was in my building’s parking lot, so I relocated the vehicle myself to where they were setup and handed off my keys around 9:30am. The gentleman I spoke with at drop off was extremely courteous and professional.
It was gorgeous outside today, perfect day to go carless, so I walked to a nearby eatery for lunch and that’s when I received a text message that my vehicle was ready. On my walk back from lunch, I went to pick up my vehicle. The second gentleman that I dealt with, here now at pickup, was also extremely courteous and professional. He wanted me to carefully inspect their work to catch any potential issues before I drove away. I spotted none. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It looked like my car was suddenly 6 years younger! No way on earth could I have ever gotten my car this clean on my own, even if I wasn’t 35 weeks pregnant! What a treat!
I paid through their Square mobile app, receiving a digital receipt via email. And, I rather enjoyed driving my spotless-interior vehicle home from work today.
I would definitely use this service again.
