WARNING: SOUQ WAQIF DWELLERS

Well said, I second eby1975..

It is your mistake!

suckr said lloydN, It's not being lazy, It's a character of kindness and helping people for extra cash but he end up to be a culprit."

Yes, actually feel sorry for these people who have to work so hard - but then some people don't deserve any sympathy.

Also, car wash thingy - for those who proudly wash their own cars, kudos for being hardworking. But remember, sometimes, the actual reason for people like suckr and me is not "lazy" but "too busy". GAL.

DaRuDe said Your mistake ...

You always pay after the job is done not before."

But they insist on payment before. So I insist on their receipt. The cheaters who look pitiful, lie and say "finish receipts", I say, "too bad. No need to wash. Thanks". Had one who magically "found" his receipt book when his hangdog look didn't work.

Haven't tried Souq but City Centre, a few times. No problems.

lloydN, It's not being lazy, It's a character of kindness and helping people for extra cash but he end up to be a culprit. He is an unknown man of course cause I didn't bother to ask his name and nationality or ask him to show me his ID. Unlike for you lloydN, you always ask every person that you interact to show first their ID before you mingle with them. Void it, I didn't ask QatarLiving website to post it in the main page. I'm just sharing my experience in souq waqif and to warn people.

whos is to be blamed.. u seem to be wanting good smelling job for a cheap smelling cost....

Not Done!!

Suckr....

first of all its shows ur lazy character of not going to a proper place for ur car wash...

and then u r blaming an unknown man.. without knowing his nationality...

i guess ur post shud be void...next time please remember not to mention nationalities...!!!!!!!!!

I'm just being trustful to people here and I don't want to be rude.

why u paid him in advance u must have said wash it when i come bck i will pay u

seth9900: I'm sure that he is a hindi guy, to be exact his karela, because I heared him talking with his partner and they speak the same language as my karela co-workers. I'm not being a racist or anything, I'm just giving a warning to my co-expats.

"Don't Dive with Me if you can't take the PRESSURE"

LOL! nomad_08, let me correct myself - 'Make-do' car washers. They always make sure they take off the dust put leave minor scratches.

I once tried to get a polish and wax job on my car, and couldn't find a decent place. Tried Al Ayaal (hopeless) and then Zeigart (sp.?) in Salwa Road. They couldn't even remove the swirl marks. Finally a friend of mine, who does this as a hobby, had to come to the rescue. He clayed and sandpapered out the swirls, polished it twice and then sealed it with a paint sealer and wax. He even got rid of the orange peel effect. It took him two days, but the car got the showroom finish.

After driving in Doha for a long time, I have learned that there is no point in trying to maintain the looks of your car. The weather, the bad car washes, etc. Just get a new one every four years. LOL! This way you can avoid the lousy inspections too!

go to any waqood they are open 24 hours and service is also good

professional car washers in qatar? readyforryan, eljoknight you're joking right?

HaHa. Kevin87 = EPIC FAIL!!

Totally agree with eljoknight, let the professionals get the job done. Say no to carpark carwashes!

I never let any strangers wash my car and especially unexperience one. A scratch in my car will always piss-me-off. You should take care of the paint job in your car as harmful "car shampoo" or detergent will make your car paint fading plus the fact that the water they use is "re-usable".

The main thing here is we should not tolerate or create bandits in our community. Criminals nowadays are getting more smarter that those who consider themselves as professionals.

"Ignorance of the Law Excuses No One"

It happened to me at City Center but the guy was waiting me when i came back. He apologozed and issued a bill and wrote down his mobile number telling me that anytime i can call him (when i am at city center parking area) to wash my car for free.

i use sometimes their service at Villagio parking or beside Eli France caffe. I find it convenient when my car is hell dirty and my helper is busy with something else rather than taking my car to the Car Wash. But i never allow them to get inside of my car. I always pay upfront, and my car is always washed..

as Ivanovna said, shit happenes.. but hey thanks for warning us..

Suckr,

How do u know that he is from India. Is that ur judge or really u saw his papers. If not stop by just directly pointing on Nationalities. This is just not others should feel bad...

kevin87, who do u consider "illegals" in here?

Gosh! How can u wash ur cars in parkings???! For 25 qr u can get it all washed inside and outside! Those dudes in parkings wash ur cars with the dirtiest water ever! and of course the car is still dirty with terrible smell. Better drive it dirty than wash in parkings...

OFFTOPIC: Why do they let in so many cars into the parking when it is already full. One time I went there, and there was no parking slot to find. Adding to that, the roads between the parkings were full of cars bumper to bumper. It took me 30 mins to get out again. And of course I had to pay 4 riyals.

I am amazed at how stupid some people can be and how inconsiderate a few others can be. Maybe I'm just too old. Maybe stupid and mean is the new in thing.

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.

Also all the liars

lol Veri, well some people bring out the nastiness in me.

nadt... you are in a nasty mood... :-)

kevin ..i think its u who is upset cos others didnt appreciate ure post.. u knew very well he was asking to make an extra earning rather to beg for it.. but u were ridiculing him .. and picking/pocking on nationality isnt going to justify ure stand.. every nation has a share of poor class..so lets not throw stones at each other when we live in a glass house

Kevin you totally missed the point why people are "attacking" you. If thats how you talk to people, you deserve getting ripped off.

Kevbo. Nobody is rediciolus,you went for peanuts you got a monkey,,,,,,shouldve paid the 5 riyals.Cheap IS as CHEAP gets.

you wanna pay less

you want the car washed without waiting in queue

and you want it washed while you are doing something else so that you aren't wasting any time...

and you expect the car to be made as clean as it is when you take it to Teyseer?

Fool me once SHAME ON YOU,,,,,,,,FOOL ME TWICe....SHAME ON ME,,,,,,wake up fgs.

Com'on Kevin those are poor guys its ok if u lost 15 riyals..dont expect to much, sumtimes u have to let it go..

'the rims were as dirty as his face was'?

So who are we supposed to feel sorry for here?

why do people created receipt? To sure its legal...

by the way suckr,this username was put after that "hindi" man conned you?...

Soetimes you have to pay before or you can't have the job done :O(

Heeey, don't get that upset, dude. Shit happens. Next time you'll be smarter, right?

I would love to know how you know he is "hindi" and not sri lankan, nepali or even pakistani?

And dont be mad that he outsmarted you.

trust me u are not the first one to get conned!!. These things happen and some thing u learn with experience only ..

dont pay before...

"War is not fought to determin who is right, only who is left".

your mistake to pay him b4 washing the car..

Try getting there again...for sure you are going to meet him again...he must have taken it so easy earning this way...

Once you get him,take him to the officers that you find there...

Im always paying after My car is washed ... dont take the risk again :)

You always pay after the job is done not before.

@ suckr,it's a little slip of paper popularily known as a "receipt",next time,get one when you part with your hard-earned cash mate *wink*!!

of course i never pay before they clean it ..

After they clean it .. that will be only the time to pay

same happened to me in the parking of Centre Point...:(

----------------------------------------------------------------Give me some SunShine......Give me some Rain

Give me another Chance...I wanna grow up once Again

before paying to anyone, check if he has washing stuff with him + get his mobile no.

"The Souq Waqif management should ban this people inside the parking area"

It's actually illegal and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the souq or its management.

They haven't perfected the parking scheme as of late so I don't think car washing would be a priority for now...

i never pay before they do the work ... knowing that you will never see your money again ...

let them clean ur car 1st before u pay... y ur trusting someone u dont know at all.

DON'T LET FANTASY ROB YOU OF YOUR REAL LIFE BEAUTY

and when u see him next time strip him naked
