Damaged weather stripping
Tj R.

This cash wash is a scam. Cheap price and local but the machines damage cars OFTEN! The owner and manager are quick to blame you even if the car is new and in perfect condition. This happened to me twice. The first time I believed the man when he said the weather stripping was loose. I checked the other side and found it tight and in perfect condition. When I came back again recently the other side was torn free. I was again reminded that they are essentially not responsible for anyone's car for any reason. That doesn't seem at all ethical. Don't just believe me, look at all the other negative reviews. Avoid this car wash like the plague. It is a rip off and a great way to damage your car.

My car along with several others in the neighborhood got egged. I decided to give Bubble express a try since I drove by a few times and saw that it was always busy. They advertise $6 so that I think invites people in. I opted not to get the cheapest wash nor the most expensive which I believe is $15. I drive though and when I came out on the other side, nothing changed. Went back and told the guys that guided me in ( they remembered my car). On a side note, normally at most car washes, these are the guys that tape your back wiper down and hose off or scrub your car before you enter the wash. They didn't do that. The manager came out and looked at my car and said you have to wipe this down first because it's so sticky. Lucky for me I had a bucket with some rags and car wash soap in the trunk. He said that I could go through the wash again after I wiped it down. In hindsight I should have stayed home and washed it myself rather than hand washing it at the car wash. This is the place to go if you car is a little dusty and you need to vacuum your interior.

Broken windshield wiper arm
Colleen T.

If I could give this place 0 stars, it would happen. I have been driving my car through this car wash since it opened and even have a loyalty card with them. This ended today when the dryer at the end of the wash snapped the windshield wiper arm on the back of my car. I spoke with the manager who halfheartedly apologized and offered to accept "possible" responsibility for the act occurring. However he was unwilling to accept any financial responsibility, citing their written disclaimer. Clearly I understand why the disclaimer exists; however, their equipment still broke my back windshield wiper, costing an estimated $367 for me to replace. The manager offered me a couple of good will free car washes, which I politely declined (because why would I ever take my car back here). Drive your car through this place at your own risk, or do what I've learned to do and reach out to your mobile car detail guy, who you know for a fact will wash your car with actual care, more often.

Their soap caused permanent damage to the first layer of paint on my entire car.

Their soap caused permanent damage to the top layer of paint on my entire car. What ever this is, it is unremovable. So mad.

However, after that-No issues. Till today. I usually wear my seatbelt while going through (this is important to note) and wipe down my car. This time I didn't and didn't think anything. I was cleaning and the car kept going into Park. The older man at the entrance of the car wash was yelling at me to keep it in Neutral. I was telling him it was but that I think the machine is doing something g to put the car in Park. I got it heck into Neutral and he started it again. Same thing-Went not even a full tire rotation in the car wash and boom, Park. Now he throws down the water hose he had on his hand, slams on the emergency shut off and starts talking ish under his breath. I open my door and ask for someone (else) to help. Sorry sir, yo entiendo! Rude. I tell him again, I'm not doing anything. Another man comes (he's shorter and younger and always VERY nice when I'm here) and he tells me it's cause I opened the door. I said no. It did it before that and I wasn't going anything to the car. I said come inside with me. He said, don't worry. Then he said are you moving. I said, yes. I always do. Then he said your seatbelt! I said, what about it. He told me when you take it off and move, the car will do that. I said ohhhh. Thanks! They restarted and in fact, if you have your seatbelt on and move-No big deal. But take it off and-You can't move if your car will auto Park. That older man was plain ol rude and not cool. If I was a younger person, that would've made me freak out and possibly cry. Be better.

I currently pay $80 a month for a full-service membership at Carwood Car Wash, and I expect the…read moreservices included in my package to actually be performed. Lately, the quality of service has declined drastically. Today is a perfect example. My vehicle is consistently not being vacuumed properly. I've had to personally move my seats to make sure the areas underneath are vacuumed, which should already be part of the basic service I'm paying for. When I brought this up to Chris, he told me they're "not detailing" my car. I explained that I never asked for detailing -- I simply expect the vacuuming included in my package to be done correctly. What made the experience worse was the customer service. Instead of addressing the concern professionally, Chris responded with comments like "you're getting the same service as everybody else" and "nobody else is complaining." With that kind of attitude, I find that hard to believe. Customers should not have to inspect and correct basic services that they are paying premium monthly fees for. And honestly, why would I tip when I have to move my own seats just to ensure the floors and mats are vacuumed properly? Very disappointed with how much the quality and customer service have declined.

There are several levels of car washes you can pick from but I usually pick the "Royale" which is the highest one you get for $14. You do get your money's worth as the car usually comes out well rinsed and washed of any built up dust. After your wash, they have a self-serve area where you are able to vacuum/clean out the interior of your car. This part is where I'd say deserves the 5 stars. The vacuums and pressurized air machines work nicely when trying to clean out dirt and crumbs out of your car. I've been to other car washes where the vacuums just weren't strong enough and couldn't pull out dirt from the car's seats. Plus the self-serve area is well shaded and protects you from the heat especially in the summer. Overall would recommend if you're looking for a reliable car wash.

While following his directions, my tire popped against the rail during the wash. I immediately reported the incident on-site, provided my contact information, and completed an incident report. The same day, after my vehicle was towed from the facility and replaced the tire, I responded back and provided a copy of my receipt to management. Unfortunately, to this day I have yet to receive any response. I never received any follow-up from the business. I made multiple attempts to speak with a manager in person, but each time I was told they were unavailable and no one ever came out to address my concerns. The lack of communication, accountability, and customer service after an incident like this is unacceptable. Based on my experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this car wash to others. I haveread several reviews and it appears this is consistent neglect and reckless accountability from this business. Since then, I have deleted multiple vehicles that were on monthly memberships. I recently went Crown America Carwash on South St in Lakewood where I noted they have better washing racks, better vacuums, and much better customer service. I recommend that everyone who wants a better service for a cheaper price to consider going to this establishment. This is based solely on my opinion and recommendations.

I put my car in park and my steering wheel started moving left to right and trying to steer itself. That's when I noticed that something was wrong and stopped the car. The worker who acted and looked like a teenager, which is pretty much all of them, told me to roll my window down with soap on the window then proceeded to laugh and grin as he told me I needed to put the car in neutral. I was willing to let it go because he was just a child but that's when my car wasn't washed properly nor was it given all of the services that I was offered. I know this because I went through a second time and before I did I had a talk with the young gentleman and he was being aggressive not even passive with it, taunting me, and just being straight up totally rude and unprofessional. I told him I wanted my whole car sprayed with soap and he kept trying to give me orders and there were times I just looked at him in disbelief. I had enough, so I asked to speak to the manager and that's when his "BUDDY" came out acting all tough and cool and tried to "calm" me down when all he was doing was provoking me. I asked to get the real managers phone number and he was adamant about letting me know that he was the one and only true manager there. He then offered me a refund and I decided that was the best conclusion and I didn't want to waste any more of my time or breath so I distinctly let them know that I wanted my WHOLE car soaped down. I pulled my window up and when I looked back and sideways, I noticed that they didn't spray my car even better than the first time. I did not move my car and waited till they did and when the two idiot best friends didn't do anything that's when I was forced to pull my window down and tell them to spray my car down. They DID NOT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES LIKE WE WERE HAVING A STANDOFF. I forgot to mention the cars were piling up and not only that they waited until there was a long line of cars probably 7-8 waiting behind me till they sprayed me down properly. Not even extra soap or anything just PROPERLY. Even during the second time, my steering wheel was moving and they didn't not guide me into the steering wheel correctly. At least I got some of the services I paid for but I'm not too sure, I am certain that I got a little more than my first wash because more stuff came out but who knows. My car was not dried properly and when I came out two more of the little teenage clique came out and started antagonizing me as if I'm below them or I would get scared. They also did a half ass job and didn't dry or give me my tire service when I asked if they were going to finish drying my car they looked back and laughed and smirked and walked away. Did I mention the male worked that came to dry my car was getting in my face and asking if I was starting trouble. He was seriously threatening me! Unbelievable to be frank. The whole time I was cleaning my car the whole team was sending horrible energy to me and not only that, when I went in for a refund at the end of it all they told me they weren't going to give it to me. This place may be cheap but this is no way to run a business it's almost like the people working there want you to go in the car wash and wreck your car or have your window open and a bunch of kids thinking they're the shit acting childish and stupid are in charge. Who runs a business like this? I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! COME AT YOUR OWN RISK!
