A ripped leather seat, courtesy of "Broadway Carwash"
Kenada B.

UPDATE I spoke with Curtis Leung, the manager, who was incredibly rude, standoffish, and at first seemed amused by my complaint, laughing at me. He said that since he has a sign limiting any liability, and because I didn't have explicit video evidence of his staff ripping my seat, he wasn't going to help. After telling him this is likely a reason why he has such horrible Yelp reviews, he angrily "thanked me" for this review and abruptly hung up on me. I think I struck a nerve. I'd take one star off if I could, but it suffices to say: DO NOT GET YOUR CAR WASHED HERE. Took my car in today for the "Manager's Special." As I'm getting back into my car, there's a 2-inch tear in the leather seat. The car is new, without a single scratch, let alone a tear -- yet, Jesus, the manager first tried to tell me no one at the car wash did it, then that it's impossible they could have because no one working there wears belts, then finally gave me the actual manager's business card. I've left a voicemail with Curtis Leung, so we'll wait to see how that conversation goes. I'LL NEVER BE BACK. I SUGGEST YOU FIND ANOTHER CAR WASH TOO.

This car wash ripped off a sensor on the front quarter panel of my car. When they had finished drying it, there was a remnant of their towel underneath the corner of the sensor and when I pulled it out, the entire sensor fell off. It looks like they tried to put it back in place. I walk around my entire car after every wash and know that this was not broken prior. When I showed the attendant the towel remnant and we pulled it out together, he got a manager. The manager was very rude and defensive and said that if I had not documented it with photos before that there is no proof they broke it. They said to go get it fixed myself and refused to give me their insurance info or file a claim. I don't recommend you risk your car by going to this car wash.

I consider this a 3.5/5, so I rounded up . This was my first visit to this touchless car wash. I paid for the "Super" package for $54 (includes the extra $10 due to my having an SUV). Overall, I'm satisfied with the results. They did a great job with interior vacuuming and wiping down the windows and interior surfaces. For external cleaning, the results were mostly okay. The rinsing of the car left much to be desired as there was still some soap residue in one area of the car (most of it was wiped away by the staff). No smudges on the windows post-wipedown. One of the staff, maybe the manager, didn't want me to take photos which I thought was strange. I'll likely return since there aren't many touchless alternatives in the area.

Came here at around 2:20ish pm on a Monday, and they were steady with a line of cars but I essentially had no wait. You drive up and someone confirms which service you want. I went with the managers special ($45); they first seem to vacuum your car, it goes through the wash, and then they dry it/do a quick interior wipe down. You pay inside the Mobil gas station and can wait inside or there's some chairs/benches outside. Overall very efficient (finished around 2:44) and decent wash/vacuum. I have some stubborn bug splatter on the hood that was still there. The interior wipe down on the other hand - They didn't really wipe down the seats super well or the middle console surface, but most all other surfaces looked okay and I'll probably have to do it again myself. I'd give this place a 3.5. Tip: It was my first time so I missed the fact that if you want your trunk vacuumed to leave it open upon arrival - the trunk wasn't touched (but I assumed they would have asked or did it anyway, since I told them it was my first time - but oh well). Not a bad spot to get your car washed and vacuumed though it's not really a through wipe down inside. I probably could've saved a few bucks and just went with the super wash.

Use to fold seat down

I've been coming here for years.. I'm from here so for years. I had a membership too, until this. And was told by the manager it's wear and tear and that's why they have notices stating not responsible. All well and good but once workers enter the vehicle it is your responsibility. Not to mention if it was wear and tear why not tell me instead of trying to hide it??????? Now I have to pay $375 to fix this of which McKevitt Volvo said the only way it would have broken is that someone yanked it rather than using the additional handle to make the seat collapse. Y'all freaking sux! Most expensive car wash I ever had. Will NEVER come back and will tell everyone who will listen. Oh also filling a small claims action, because I should pay for this??? Azzhats

Front bumper panel before

Car needed detailing and I came here on the recommendation of a friend, really wish I checked the reviews first. Same as other folks have reported, I got my car back with damage to the paint and panels. Amateur quality work for premium prices. Avoid.

dirty interior
Tina T.

believe or not, this is my 2nd review about this place even though they changed ownership somehow the service got even worse. After a few years i was in the area so decided to give it another try but i wish i didn't! it took FOREVER for them to give me a ticket to pay eve thought they just opened. I was speechless when i saw the car...

What a terrible job. Paid extra for the wheels and they look like S4IT! Never going back! All the good reviews must be from the emplyees.

Dirt on the back
Jaymee R.

I spilled a coffee in passenger seat so I stopped by here after work to get the car cleaned. I paid $47 and showed them where the coffee spilled, they assured me that they would wipe it with a rag. They didn't. The outside of the car was dirty everywhere after the wash. There were busy but there were 5 of them cleaning the car so I'm not sure how they missed cleaning every part of the car. I mean, the rims, the trunk had cotton stuck to it, the rail where you step had dirt on it, the windows had smudges, not water stains, smudges. I paid $47 and I thought about driving back to have it redone but my paint had scratches, like they dried it with a Brillo pad so I wasn't about to let them touch my car again.

Still got leaves on a $60 carwash.

They're a solid full service car wash. I've been a customer for at least a decade and never had an issue.

I was so surprised to see both grandmas and grandpas at their age working so hard. Some were younger but I'm sure that's also why they look so healthy. It's my first time here but they feel precious to me like my own grandparents. I passed by this busy car wash during the day and stopped by again later because my car was super due for a wash. I'll be honest I hadn't vacuumed my car in a looong time. When I did, the little handheld vacuum at home didn't do much. But these folks got me in and out so fast. Sweet and efficient people. The before and after is crazy. I will say there were some little cracks where they missed the dust and they accidentally left a towel wedged in my back trunk door lol but it was what my car needed. For how long I put off cleaning, this was totally worth it at a reasonable price. I'll be back!

The job took 40 min, they left streaks of ceramic product on my window. Used dirty rags that smelled and left little hairs in the ceramic finish. They missed really obvious stains, so I had to ask for them to wipe them off. And it's the kind of place that talks to men and women differently. Not going back. It was $110, $50 for the wash and $60 for a really messy and bad ceramic wax.

Mickey's Auto Detail - [BEFORE] Super dirty under the seat.  They were happy that the seat lifts up.  They were planning to remove the seats to get to the dirt.

I recently took my Tesla Model Y to get an inside and outside cleaning. I'll admit we hadn't cleaned it for a while, have taken the car on road trips including to Los Angeles, Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes. We've taken it in offroad situations too. After they worked, our car is White again. They worked hard at vacuuming and cleaning the inside of the car, including the trunk. Their crew took out and cleaned floor mats and they seemed to wipe down everything as best they could. We also have dogs so there probably was a little bit of dog hair in the back too. The woman who runs the business said they needed to charge extra to shampoo one of the carpets because there was some sort of stain in the back. I thought that was reasonable. Considering that it has been years since we seriously cleaned the car, I think they did a good job and put a lot of attention, I think the price I paid was reasonable.
