I'm sure many people have come here, washed there car and simply left, which i have done for years. Today 2/27/2021 is my last time coming here. I had the honor of meeting the owner/manager. Wow the older reviews are spot on (sad to say). As the owner/manager walked by with a trash bin he says to me "don't people read signs anymore, we're closed when it's raining or snowing"?! Okay, but it was not raining or snowing (sun was out). My wife and I were a little confused. So my wife asked him if they were closed today. The Owner/manager said we're closed when it rains or if snow is on the ground then he proceeded to mumble and curse. Lol How about this instead of being rude and insulting. Just say we are closed and read one of our many signs. Lol I would rather drive 10 miles further than give this guy another dime. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this place. Ps To the other reviewer, owner/mgr possibly has a small compact car now. I didn't see the jeep liberty. read more

Place is ok for a self washing place but I will say it is expensive I have a 4 door sedan and it ended up costing me about $16 all said and done at that point I'll go to a car wash and get it washed and not have to do a thing instead of having to rush to clean it because the timer kept running out and have to run to put more money in could not really wash my car the proper way I will not be returning but not a bad place if you don't mind spending about $5-8 more for a regular car wash and having to do it yourself and not really cleaning it since you have to rush read more

Went here to wash my jeep and carpets out of the jeep after buying $20 of coins i soap the whole jeep and then the place shuts down with the alarm going off. I didn't have any mud on my jeep. Impossible to reach any person there scam of a place read more

I usually don't give any bad ratings, but this is out of hand. My brother and I used to clean our car up in this place numerous times and would have no problems, at least nothing big. But it was until that time when my brother was there alone trying to clean our car inside out. Meanwhile, I was at home taking a nap. Eventually, just because my brother was "taking too long", the person working there (probably the owner/manager) came out and started to bs around with him. My brother told me what happened when he came back home. Look (my message to the owner/employee who cursed out at my brother), he was just trying to clean the car. The person working there told my brother in an unholy, unpatriotic, and unprofessional attitude to get out just because he was "taking too long". It was sad that my brother lost some change over this while he was forced to leave. At least it wasn't like big money, thank goodness for that. My brother apologized, trying to deescalate the situation. But the person over there still dare to spit out curse words to my brother, especially those nasty F bombs. First of all, watch your language if the customer tried to comply and don't want any trouble. HOW DARE YOU CURSE OUT AT MY BROTHER LIKE THAT? HOW DARE YOU? Secondly, we're done with doing any more business in your place! If you don't care, please don't blame us if your place shuts down over all the bad reviews given to your place! You should be SUED WITH NO MERCY for all this! You can not be trusted! If you want to be trusted again, you have to earn it back! Respect is earned like a paycheck. Everyone who is reading this review before considering going here for vehicle cleanup, IT'S NOT WORTH IT, especially if the guy is over there nagging at the customers! IT'S SERIOUSLY NOT WORTH IT! My brother told me to NEVER come back there again. CANCEL AND BOYCOTT! #NeverAgain read more

I would give this place a -50000000 stars if i can! The Manager, Owner whoever he is CALLED THE COPSSS on us as we were washing our car FOR PLAYING MUSIC!!!!! at 11:30 AM!!. We come here often just to get a quick rinse in btwn car washes but this time the owner was there and it was by far the most DISGUSTING behavior. if they do not like music playing while ppl are washing their own car there is a respectful way to SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS!!! you don't SCREAM AND CALL THE COPS!!! he took a photo of my License plate and proceeded to call cops even AFTER we turned down the music. CALLING THE COPS FOR MUSIC??? i will never EVER support this business again. read more

GO AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!! This place is honestly just unacceptable, Saturday afternoon so we decide to take the car for a wash in the first dock with the dryer, we put the money in and the hose started to work and all of a sudden the machine turns off and we put more money in it and low and behold it happens again. There are cameras in the docks and rumor has it the owner watches the cameras and turns off the wash welp the rumors are true. Not happy at all with the service of this place it is very run down and there is nothing to notify you that specific docks are closed or not working or there's just a scumbag owner who wants to make triple his money who knows but terrible experience very unhappy. I will be reporting this place to the cops and be on with my day. Whilst I was here it also happened to another lady who had put quarters in the machine in exchange for tokens and it stole her money as well.y read more

Been going here for quite a while and finally stopped a while ago, whoever owns the business now should be ashamed for ripping people off. There is never any pressure in the wands, the hand scrub brushes are old and dirty and scratch the car, the soap is always empty. The change token machine used to have issues and wasn't always working. there should be many complaints filed about this place, if you can find another place you should read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Super shady business. The person watching the cameras thinks it's funny to turn the water off at random times while washing your car read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! wish i could give it a lower rating. Guy watches you and after you pay and start your car wash he will turn off the machines. HE IS A SCAM !!! read more

If there was an option for zero stars that what they would get. Absolutely horrible, in the middle of me washing my car with 7mins left on the timer they manually shut off the machine in my bay Only because I was using a rag instead of their shitty ass brush I was still using their soap from the brush. I tried to go to another bay and as soon as my car pulled into the bay they shut the machine off also. This place is a scam they take your money and don't render the services and when you go to try and get in contact with someone there's no number around. I found the phone number on Google and no one answers. Their fucking scumbags.Whoever reads this I 100% recommend going to the car wash in Perth amboy on Convery Blvd they are awesome and are always there for any help needed. read more

Very loud and annoying buzzer goes off once you try to wipe off excessive water from your vehicle. It is 9am and no one in line.

WARNING!!! SCAM ALERT!!! Do not go here, unless you enjoy being ripped off!!! After reading the reviews, how has this place not been shut down?! We put $2.75 a machine - alarm sounded and equipment shut off. So we tried a different bay that someone had just finishing using. Put in another $2.75, squeezed the nozzle- no water, nothing. The same thing happened to the people in the bay next to us. It was a Saturday afternoon, there's no phone # posted. I called the # found online, but of course it only rang and rang. There are cameras everywhere, so you know this creep has to be watching and controlling the machines from home!!! As an added bonus, no matter how slowly you turn into the entrance, you're guaranteed to scrape the bottom of your car! read more

Terrible Experience, The service is very unprofessional and lack people skills. I took my car there to get washed and vaccumed. The way this place is set up is strange because you have to drive around in a circle after washing your car just to get to the vaccums. So I figured to make things easier I would turn my car around so it would face the direction of the vaccums. After completing that task, I had another task at hand with the so called "Manager" there. He blanently cursed me out for not obeying the apparent signs in the facility, when I actually did obey them.He then threw me out and told me to find a new place and if I returned to this place he would have me arrested for trust passing. read more

I got completely ripped off at this place. The machine was not working and after it took my money!!! There is no one who answers the listed phone number and nothing posted outside on where else to call. The worst part is that I got five dollars worth of tokens so essentially I'm now ripped off for the entire five bucks, total scam. read more

WORST PLACE EVER !!! The buzzing sound is so annoying , put in 25 quarters to wash my car for a good amount of time , not even 5 seconds after the hose started it then cut off ! Machine turned off !! Nothing worked , phone number for this place is always on busy , STRAIGHT SCAM!! This place needs to get shut down read more

0 stars worst place ever DO NOT GO SAVE YOUR MONEY, everytime I go no soap no pressure no wax, the timers rip people off. this place should be shut down DO NOT GO DO NOT GO ! read more

Bravo. Last time I came by, the last bay took a dollar of my change. I decided to give this car wash another chance, and this time, whoever is controlling the bays turned them off whenever I pulled in. Perhaps I insulted his or her mother without knowing? I thought each of the bays were defective until I pulled into a bay just behind someone else, and the machine that worked fine for someone else would not turn on for me. I saw the same happen for a few other patrons that drove through. I get it, I will go somewhere else. I suggest that you, reader, should do the same. read more

**DO NOT GO HERE!!!** I went here this afternoon with my mother to clean and organize our cars. I had brought a couple of bags to separate my belongings(clothes, books, etc.) into so I could take care of them when I got home. Aka, I was taking the bags HOME, not throwing them out! I proceeded to throw a small bag with old receipts and water bottles into the garbage can. Immediately an old sweaty man with rotten teeth came over to me screaming that I was dumping and to take everything but a quart size amount of garbage out and put it back into my car. I asked him why he was approaching me so angrily? We argued back and forth for a couple minutes. He kept screaming saying there are signs everywhere saying "no dumping". I explained again that I was cleaning my car and that the other bags were clothes and whatnot that I was not throwing out. He kept screaming that he didn't care and that I needed to leave. I started to close my doors and he grabbed the trash out from the garbage can and threw it at my leg!! I asked him why he was such an angry old man and he screamed, "don't come back!!" No worries crazy old man, I won't be back! read more

DO NOT...I Repeat..DO NOT go to this car wash!!! They will rip you off. Each car bay has cameras in them that the owner watches you from. My boyfriend and I went there and put $20 in the change machine that only gives you tokens to use at that car wash. Every time we would pull in a bay the machine would mysteriously turn off. It was a Sunday around 6:00 pm so we figured they turn off at a certain time. Frustrated, we left and said we'll come back another day to use the tokens. We went back today around 2:00 pm. People were there washing their cars so we figured everything should be fine...NOPE! The same thing happened again. So, this time we knew it was not a coincidence. We looked around for a phone number to call because we just wanted our money back, but there was no number. We decided to call the police. The officer that answered looked up the number to the business and when we called it just rang and rang. The officer even went so far as to look up the reviews and when she came back she said they're horrible and advised me to never return there. I WILL NOT ever return to this car wash and she also advised me to report them to the better business bureau. While we were there another man pulled in and we told him that the machines are not working. The man told us that the guy that owns the place watches you from his home and he can turn the machines off from there. This man is a criminal!! He is stealing from people and needs to be stopped! He has not heard the last of me!! read more

I wish I read the reviews before coming here. Whatever car wash I pulled into, the guy who was watching stopped the machine. I lost $3 here. I talked to the guy to the next bay and he said it's being watched constantly and the guy controls the bay machines. I even pulled to the bay after the guy left but it was switched off again. read more
