How do you find a good detail shop?

I`m in Northern New Jersey in Morris County. I`m looking for a good reputable detail shop. There`s a few car wash type places in my area that do detailing. There`s also a couple of detail shops that work with auto dealerships and/or are owned by them. So, how does one find a good detail place? And once I do find one what can I expect to pay for a good engine detail?

I think that its a hit and miss finding a good detailer. I go to the shops and look at what the condition of the shop looks like, clean, organized looking and then ask to see a finished car.
Most that are in my area Northern CA are bucket shops. Its really a trail so hit the road and good luck

I got a price quote from a local shop for an engine detail their price is a little under $50. How much do engine details usually run for?

I`m in lower Sussex County and detail out of my home (weather permitting) and a shop in West Orange. If you`re interested you can pm me here and I`ll send my phone number and email. I`ll be glad to answer any questions whether or not you use my services.
