No vacuum whatsoever

For 40 dollars I'm not sure what I paid for. The trunk was hardly vacuumed. I understand I have stuff back there but you couldn't even vacuum this section?!?! Also no tire shine? You barely clean the rims so I'm not surprised. On top of it the interior vacuum up front was subpar at best. I could've taken it through a gas station car wash and gotten a better wash for my money. I normally don't leave reviews like this but this is a waste of money for anyone looking at it. I almost always tip the guys at car washes unless I have no cash on me but this time I didn't tip them. They moved slow and didn't seem to care whatsoever and proceeded to give me nasty looks. I'm not going to leave you a tip if you don't deserve one. EDIT: when I got home I decided to put my own tire shine on. Took less than 30 seconds! It looks a million times better

Billing History after cancelling service in late Jan 2023

Was OK with the service, even though the wash was broken far too frequently when I attempted to use it. The REAL problem arose when I ATTEMPTED to cancel service. THERE IS NO WEBSITE nor anyone to talk with about issues. Had to go in person to cancel, and was told my payment info was removed - that's how they handle terminations... Company continued to charge anyway. They even charged an extra $10 somehow above the normal fee?!? Non-existent central billing, oversight, so I must go out of my way to stop in for a visit in person (WHEN DOES THAT HAPPEN TODAY?) to sort things out, or contest as FRAUDULENT charges with the CC Company... and of course they gave me NOTHING approaching a receipt/acknowledgement of cancellation - VERY UNPROFESSIONAL business practices by standards of 15 years ago. Lost my business forever.

They did a pretty good job with the cleaning of the car bit I'm unhappy with how I was up charged for service I didn't ask for. When the guy first took the order down, I told him the $25.99 wash with $4 additional for door trim clean up. I go to pay and found that he charged me for $29.99 wash and vacuum+ $4 door trim clean AND $2 for SUV charge. Really? When I complained, they only acknowledged that maybe the SUV charge not being conveyed clearly. Nothing about how my $25 request was wrongly upgraded to $29.99. I left with a clean car but slight bad taste in my mouth.

Expected a wait on a sunny day. No problem. Friendly people. Paid extra for interior trim armor all. This is what I got. Not pleased and won't go back.

This is the place I take my car for wash and oil change. I have been here several time. It is a quick thing to do. Sometime the line is too long that I have to come on other day. Today is Tuesday and they have the lube and oil change special. It is $19.95 include out side wash (normal is $29.95). The oil change service include the compliment wash. The price is a steal with two things accomplish in less than half hours. Alway inform them to use hand tight for the lube nut to avoid damage to the car. I have only car wash here before. They did an ok job for the price paid. Usually you will see some dirt in the trim line that difficult to get out. Overall they are clean. They have different wash or wax or cleaning the inside or steam clean with leather amor. The bug removal is extra. They also have the reward card if you come here regularly. Every dollar you spend you get 10% back in reward. It work for me like 10 wash get one free. Do not expect extremely clean. But is clean enough. It is good in winter since you don't need to wash in cold weather and someone take care for you here.

I decided to give to give this place a shot on cleaning my truck, due to great reviews from my wife who uses this place weekly. I can't be more disappointed. With the name being Clean machine car wash I would have thought they could actually clean a vehicle. My truck had some mud and dirt on it but nothing excessive. The day before we had visited friends who lived on a clay road and were leaving when it was raining which caused the truck to get dirty. My wife had been telling me to give clean machine a shot so I did. When I pulled in I talked to the very nice reception lady and opted for the most expensive wash plus an upgrade. I didn't want to go cheap bc I knew it was dirty from the day before. I asked if they would clean everything and get it looking like new she said oh yes. Fast forward to going to pick up my truck I did a walk around and pointed out spots I would like re washed or cleaned. The manager or head washer I guess whoever it was said "we ran it through the wash twice and that's the best we can do" i was so blown away by the response that I just said ok thank you handed them a tip for a job not done very well. Interior looks awesome. Exterior is another story. Very disappointed and will not be back and neither will my wife after the customer service we received today.

Don't waste your time or your money at this car wash. You will just have to clean it again afterwards. I paid for the most expensive wash thinking that I should get a spotless car when done. They informed me that it would be 45 minutes since it was a Sunday. I was ok with that providing that they actually do a good job. There were water spots on my hood and streaks from not drying properly. The dashboard was carelessly wiped down creating a blotchy appearance. The windows were poorly cleaned leaving streaks...I gave them 2 starts as they did do a good job at vacuuming the floor mats.

Paid for the detailing service. Was told 45 minutes and ended up waiting over an hour for a half ass job. This is just one of many photos showing how dirty my car is. My car doesnt even look like it got a car wash.

I paid 27.00 for a tier 3 car wash and it was a total waste of money! I will never give this location my business again. They couldn't even do a proper vacuum.

Don't get your car detailed here it is not worth it.

Overly expensive for a poor quality wash. They advertise free towels but don't have them.

My car is always clean with Mister Car Wash. Whenever I am out and about…read moreI run through the car wash and vacuum the front seat out. I really do enjoy having a clean car all the time. I just need to get the inside detailed and I will be totally set. Keep up the great work Mister Car Wash

Let's start with the definition of insanity- yep- that's me. I said to myself months ago "never…read moreagain", but life has been so so busy lately and I thought- well- I will take it by and maybe paying top dollar (top dollar for Mister Car Wash) at the ole car wash it will be taken care of. Maybe saying to the young man I dropped it off with to "please make sure it's done well" and his response being "yes sir it will be" allowed me some confidence. I love my CLS450 and she needed a cleaning. What was I thinking- WHAT WAS I THINKING?? Vacuum- pressure wash the mats- clean the car. I probably could have done a better job myself and saved $60 bucks- plus $20 tip. Marks all over the car, half ass vacuum job, mats didn't look like a single drop of water came close to them, dirty dashboard. I guess when she rolled out of the wash and down to the hand cleaning area that when it was there for 5 min it wouldn't be done properly. I mean, I know it's hot outside but there is a canopy and it is their job, right? Usually when they are cleaning the interior it takes a good 15-20 min- this time- 5 min. So they ran it back through and even the manager was like "yeah not the best job". This time- NEVER AGAIN. I mean it this time! Customer satisfaction is in the toilet- no one cares much at all. They just don't. Get em in and get em out. Maybe don't call it "Titanium " anything, that's like folks really believing that there is anything luxurious about vinyl flooring! ‍
