I don't usually write reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one…read more If you're anywhere near Charlottesville and care even a little about your car, do yourself a favor and come here. This isn't your typical quick "in-and-out" wash -- it's the kind of place where they treat every vehicle like it actually matters. The attention to detail is unreal. Every inch of my car looked refreshed, from the spotless exterior to the interior that somehow felt brand new again. What really stood out was the care. You can tell this is a small business run by people who take pride in their work. No rushed jobs, no missed spots -- just honest, meticulous effort. Even the little things, like the way the tires were finished and the interior trim was cleaned, showed they go the extra mile. Customer service was just as impressive. Friendly, professional, and genuinely appreciative of your business -- which is rare these days. They took the time to explain what they were doing and made sure I was happy before I left. It's not just a car wash -- it's craftsmanship. I'll definitely be coming back, and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants their car to actually look and feel clean, not just "washed." Diana Adkins

Most recently I dealt with owner Jeff who thankfully was able to squeeze my car while in town. Jared was ready for me upon arrival when they opened. It's difficult to find quality hand wash detailers and Aqua Cville has perfected an exceptional service on both my car and UVA student daughter. They are appointment only which is best done online, but also by calling. The pricing varies, so look them up to see the various packages to see if they are within your budget. When back in town I know where to go for the best hand wash in the Charlottesville area. Thank you Jeff and Jared for your professional demeanor.

I've never tried the diy bays, Just the soft brush and brushless. I personally like the soft brush the best. I have a decent size truck and it fits no problem.

I paid $85 for a complete clean, in and out, and they did a great job.

Everything looks old and run down, and what is functional is fine but not everything works. Currently the vacuum closest to the automatic wash does work, although it is not very powerful. 75 cents for 4 minutes and the machine only accepts quarters.
