    I purchased the monthly plan for the Platinum wash. Now mind you I am very meticulous when it comes to the care and maintenance of my vehicle. When it's warm, I hand wash my truck daily, wax it monthly, and keep up with the maintenance schedule religiously. OCD maybe, but it's the reason why my possessions stay in excellent condition. With all of the snow and the salt/sand that NYS so lovingly spreads over every inch of drivable surfaces, it seemed like a good idea to get the monthly plan at Bubble Barn. Toyota has had known, documented issues of their frames being destroyed by the salt, so in an effort to mitigate the rust, I visited the Bubble Barn. The owner stated "you can wash as often as you like" as well as having "wash all you want" posted on the signage in front of the wash bay, which prompted me to sign up for their services. Initially it seemed like a good place. While I typically don't like the automated washes that aren't touch less, this car wash was located where I can frequent it as often as I could to keep my vehicle clean and salt free. I ALWAYS was extremely polite and generous to the guys that poorly dried my vehicle, and tipped them consistently, regardless of their inability to adequately dry a car. With all of the snow melt, salt and grime that my commute exposes my vehicle to, I made good use of their "wash as often as you like" advertising. I would wash my vehicle daily (weather dependent) and sometimes twice if my travels took me near the Bubble Barn. That is until today. When I pulled up to the wash bay the owner (well the woman whom I presume is the owner) approaches my window and I could tell immediately that she had an issue. She opens the dialogue with, "So, what was wrong with the wash this morning"? My response was simply "nothing. My truck is just dirty from the snow melt and I want to get it cleaned again". Her response to me was "We are a small business. Why don't you give us a break". So, let me get this straight. This is a drive through car wash. You aren't hand washing my vehicle. I tip your employees probably 50% of their hourly wage for 3 minutes of work, and you have the audacity to question me for utilizing a service that was advertised to me both verbally and by the signage that I can wash as often as I like? Obviously I cancelled my contract and will not frequent this establishment again. A word of advice to the owner - don't advertise something then chastise your client for utilizing the services that you offer. Poor business acumen. Poor business model. Poor attitude. Mediocre car wash. I will now frequent the touch less Foam and Wash Car Wash as often as I like, without the attitude. Give ME a break.

    Very impressed with the renovations. It's like a brand new car wash. And my car came out perfectly.

    This place was awesome, was here a few weeks back after visiting a friend (who made fun of how dirty my car was). These folks killed it on getting the dog hair out... no longer embarrassed. Maybe I'll even get a date with how clean my car is now. Keep up the awesome detailing work!

    See all

    Very good service and affordable prices. Having free vacuums for car wash customers is a great perk

    I am so bummed. I went here two years ago during winter when I was visiting and they did an amazing…read morejob on my car. Back in town, I went yesterday and ordered a platinum full service ($32, and mind you $20 for tip for 2 ppl). I don't know how it is possible for my car to look like it didn't go thru the wash at all. My car was not that dirty but I wanted it to have that nice inside/outside gleam/tire sheen etc. and I thought this would be it and for that price, it seemed like what I would get. First when I paid, there wasn't anyone near the vacuums. To the point that I waited minutes and walked around to find someone because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do that part myself. Finally someone came (so, they are understaffed, and on a day when we have a stretch of nice weather). He drove it though after asking if I wanted it vacuumed. When I saw them park to dry it etc., it took only 10 minutes max for two guys. Which I thought was super quick but I was like, ok, two guys, maybe it's fine. Most car washes, you are there for at least 30-50 minutes. Granted, they weren't busy really but still. I didn't inspect my car because of the care I'd gotten last time. I gave a tip, and he put it in the box and I got in my car. I drove off and immediately I noticed that it had spots on the windshields (and even that half moon smudge that happens when you use your wipers - still faintly there!) that I figured were going to get taken care of (photos attached) and when I parked I noticed that my mat was also dirty and there were MORE spots on all my windows and it didn't even look like it was properly cleaned at all. Honestly, it looked almost the same as when I drove in. I didn't want to go back because I am a female and there didn't seem to be anyone in a managerial capacity there and only a couple of young, male workers around so I didn't feel comfortable asking them to do it again. Also for platinum, there is no nice scent sprayed in the car (and when you guy a Tree scent from the vending - fyi - it's $6.00 - total rip off!). My tires looked like they kinda cleaned them. I really have no words how bad this was and how disappointed I am. For a fraction of the price you can get it done elsewhere and it will actually look like it was washed. I want my money back. Definitely not worth $30+ dollars plus tip. I hate leaving bad reviews. It pains me but you have to know. Don't go here unless you want to take time out of your day to take pics, go on yelp, post a review, etc. and then have to take your car to get properly cleaned (again) elsewhere. This was so bad all around.

    $22 cleaning service, which includes both an interior and exterior clean. I am consistently pleased…read morewith this option and am looking for a general cleaning rather than a full detail.
