Beach Dawgs & Co

Beach Dawgs & Co is a mobile detailing business based in Hampstead, NC. It comes to you with its own equipped unit, at a driveway, a job site, or by pick-up and drop-off. Its main trade is car detailing.

Most of its work is on cars, trucks and SUVs. It also lists motorcycles, RVs, boats, ATVs and golf carts, but RVs appear in only that one line, with no RV packages of their own. Its packages cover interior and exterior cleaning, an engine bay detail, headliner cleaning, leather treatment, carpet and upholstery shampooing, a cabin air filter swap and ceramic coatings. Those packages are written for cars, so ask whether the work fits your rig. It covers Jacksonville, Sneads Ferry, Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Hampstead, Swansboro and all surrounding areas in Eastern NC, and it does not state a radius.

It publishes no RV prices, no trip fee and no hourly rate. Its FAQ says "Additional charges may apply for excessive dirt or pet hair removal due to the extra time and effort required," so ask about that too. It says "Our services typically range from 1 to 6 hours." Hours are Monday through Saturday, and no after-hours or emergency service is listed. When you call (252) 933-7311, ask for the trip fee and an RV price before you book.

It says it has "over 12 years of experience in the Auto Industry" and it lists the award "Best Auto Detailing Service in Jacksonville." Google rates it 5 stars from 143 reviews, under the category Car detailing service. It gives no licensed or insured statement and names no owner or technician. Its lifetime ceramic coating carries a warranty that "REQUIRES ANNUAL INSPECTION TO MAINTAIN WARRANTY." Detailing cleans and protects the paint and interior, but it does not repair an AC, a fridge or a slide-out, so a rig with one of those problems needs a repair shop.

This is a good fit for an RV owner in the eastern North Carolina service area who wants a detail at the driveway and can settle the price on the phone first. It is not the call for a broken slide-out or AC.
