Our online business award for September was to the Isle of Man business offering 'Most Exceptional Customer Service'. Members of the public voted online at www.thebestof.co.uk/theisleofman for their favourite businesses and the winner was Proshine Valeting owned and run by Steve Woodward.

Proshine Valeting is a family run island business and all the family turned out in force to the final event of the Young Drivers Initative run by the Department of Transport held on 7 November where Steve was presented with his award winners trophy. We had a Best of the Isle of Man stand at the event and were delighted that City Cars and St Bernards Car Rental came along in support.

It is not difficult to see why Steve and his team received the award when you read some of the positive testimonials he has received on www,thebestof.co.uk/theisleofman. Proshine are obviously highly regarded by their customers and take a pride in going above and beyond when it comes to giving exceptional service.

'The service provided by Proshine was excellent from first contact to final shine! I suffer from a spinal injury and the car was a stinking dogmobile. They paid a visit to my home and turned it back into a shining family vehicle again. The chaps wouldn't let me lift or move a thing and even helped by putting the kit that was in the car into the garage for me. I would highly recommend this friendly, professional and speedy company. I'll be using you again. Thanks guys.' Ian L

One of the brilliant aspects of the Proshine service is that they can come and valet your car at home or office (providing you have sufficient driveway space). They provide the water and power. This is fantastic if you have a busy family and getting the car cleaned is something you just do not have time to do.
