That seems to be a nice list of services. And the way it is written, I can tell there is some attention to detail. I'm sure there are worse places you can go than that.
If I were to do that much work on someone else's car I'd probably charge $1,000. I'm no pro, but do better quality work than many people that do it for a living. To do all of that, and to do it right, should take ten to 15 man hours or more.
I can't imagine someone putting that much work into it and only charging $130. That's $10/hour, not even considering the cost of materials and tools. Maybe people are willing to work for that much, but it wouldn't be someone that has much skill/knowledge in how to properly detail a car.
Granted, I have pretty high standards, but it seems to me detailing is one thing where you get exactly what you pay for.
If you feel like your standards for a clean car are similar to most people that use Yelp, and the place gets good reviews, I say go for it. Personally, I would never pay someone $130 to detail my car that says they are going to do that list of things. I can't imagine any of them would be done to a high standard.
