Over the years I've used a few different local detailing companies around town with pretty mixed results. One place kept rescheduling on me because of childcare issues, another required full payment up front, and another had hours that just didn't work for a normal work schedule.

​Getting rescheduled three times in a row for childcare was super frustrating. On the fourth attempt, they finely showed up and just brought their kid who sat in their car the whole time. Like, if that was an option the whole time, why reschedule on me three times??

​Then the next place wanted 100% payment before they even touched the car. I don't mind a deposit at all, that's standard, but paying in full before the work even starts left a sour taste in my mouth. The end result was just okay. "Meets expectations" I guess, nothing remarkable. And the third place was only open 9-5, which doesn't really help when I also work 9-5.

​Anyway, I kept seeing Facebook ads for Peak Condition and figured I'd give them a shot. Seriously night and day difference.

​Online scheduling was super easy. I did have to pay a $75 deposit on a $325 package, which felt totally fair. Then, I added a $75 paint correction for some scratches on my paint once they arrived. It didn't feel like an "upsell" and felt like a collaboration instead. An oltion. A two-person team came out with a mobile unit that was super well stocked and organized. They weren't exactly quick—it took about 5 hours—but honestly it was well worth the wait. My 2015 Wrangler has seen a lot of miles and Peninsula mud, and it looks totally pristine now. They even buffed out some random scratches that weren't on my original order notes without making a big deal out of it.

​Just wanted to pass it along incase anyone else in PA has been burned by flaky service lately and needs their rig cleaned up. Peak Condition took great care of me.

Lola's cafe is serving some of their delicious off-menu adobo tomorrow (Thursday 10/15). This is not on their regular menu and the adobo is SO GOOD.

Just wanted to share!

Anyone know if they're opening back up again?

Hi! My names Dasia fry and I'm hoping is anyone know lucas chance or any contact info Im a old friend

Recently moved from san diego. Couldn't bear to let go of the bike that's served as my trusty car replacement so I shipped it up here. Im thinking I should probably swap out the smooth street tires on it. Anyone have a specific 20x4 tire they would recommend?

Heads up Port Angeles, less than half of tickets are available, and we've managed to make these some of the most affordable tickets in the PNW on Gary's Grandiloquent Tour! We'll see you guys tomorrow night!

Is anyone else around Port Angeles hearing that loud humming noise outside? It's been going on for at least 10m consistently. I'm around Gasman off Old Olympic Highway.

Port Angeles!

I posted about my show "Mostly Jokes" here a month or so ago, I hope you don't mind one final follow up? OK, cue the cut and paste of my previous post, sorry for the repeat!

-

My name is Aaron Foster and I'll be performing a show I call "Mostly Jokes" at Studio Bob on Friday, Oct 16 as I prepare to tape it as my first special in November.

I know seeing a comedian you've never heard of is a pretty big ask. Totally fair.

That being said, wasn't there a time when you had never heard of whoever your favorite comedian is right now? I'm not saying I'm gonna be that, but if you like the jokes in the clip, you'll probably like the show.

Heads up: "Mostly Jokes" covers some dark topics like mental health, (VERY) dysfunctional families and mid-life regrets, but I promise it's named that for a reason, it is mostly jokes.

Tickets are $20, the show runs about 90 minutes and I promise: no crowd work.

I've been working on it for about three years in clubs and theaters around the US and Canada and plan to tape it as my first special in November.

More info through my site www.MostlyJokes.com as well as a bunch of reviews from people who have seen it, press, interviews, etc.

Looking for suggestions/referrals!

I found a locket in a mud puddle on Ediz Hook today (10/9). Hoping someone recognizes it and I can get it back to its owner. ❤️

I'm wondering about how bikes are tied down and secured. I asked one of the workers (usually very helpful) and his reply was just "yeah, there's somewhere you can tie off to"). I'll bring my own straps but… they can't really just leave it to each individual rider to decide how/where to secure their bikes, can they? Do they have fixed front wheel gates or slots with D-rings? I know from experience we can get some decent roll and I have to imagine it's in everyone's best interests to not have issues which would impact off-loading.

Hey everyone, I’m moving all the way from New Hampshire to PA! My move is scheduled for the end of the month and already figured out everything regarding employment. I was curious if anyone has any local recommendations; such as places to get food, social areas, best coffee in town, and good places to go hiking? For reference I’m a 25 year old male, I love the rain and being outdoors, and am very okay with minimal socializing! Any advice is appreciated!

Does anyone know whether Amazing Movers 360 is still in business? I’m moving from PA to Sequim and was hoping to hire them because they did a great job helping with a previous local move. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have a website anymore, and their FB page doesn’t have any recent activity.
