    Had a great experience at Cottage Car Wash! I took advantage of their Early Bird Special which is Mon-Thursdays 8-11 am which is 10 dollars off their super wash. It was better than the coupon I brought. I was able to pay credit when I pulled up and they had a waiting room inside and outside while you car was being cleaned. The car wash establishment had a pretty large waiting room inside. The person who helped me mentioned he was a Scranton grad #GORoyals. I definitely felt that the employees here did a great, thorough cleaning of the inside and outside of my car. I've been to carwashes before that were more/less expensive and did a bad job. I will only be going to Cottage Car Wash from now on!

    Cottage Car Wash, Bethpage Lately I have a theme here. A Car Wash, is a Car Wash, is a ... A little higher priced then the one in Hicksville. I asked for the wash that adds the RainX but the super wash apparently was not it. Once the car is on the conveyor belt, there is no changing what's keyed in. They do give you a punch card, after so many you get a free wash, they did accept credit cards for payment. They did a quick air hose and vacuum moving my stuff out of the way. The antenna cord I have had been taken out, but it took them a while until they found it after I had asked. Seems no one knew where it was. The tires had a quick spray of that shiny stuff, but the inside spoke area appeared only to have had a quick wipe as to the use of a brush at the other place I have gone to. Eh, so at least the car got a cleanup.

    Amount of paint taken from my fender.

    Been coming here for years and it's just new faces working there. I mean cheap labor you get cheap men working on your vehicle. Brought my truck for the early bird special and just regretted it. Power washer guy just had fun with my fender going over numerous times against the truck and took a good amount of paint off my truck. Long story short didn't even ask to get this fixed and was Atleast hoping to get this wash on the house nor cause no trouble but was told not gonna happen. So had to call police to Atleast get it done. Smfh. Never again. I believe in karma. And this place will get there's some way or another. I will take my business elsewhere.

    Tip separately!

    We were disappointed to find that the car wash did not deliver the level of cleanliness we expected, given the $35 price point.

I had driven by Blues several times & finally one day I stopped there to get some advice. It's a small place but Rob, Bryan & Jefferson are all very nice guys. I set up an appt & Bryan was able to give me a lift home. I planned on leaving my car there for most of the day. At first I was not going to do my interior bc I thought it looked just fine. I take my car to the car wash every couple of weeks & they always vacuum & wipe down inside. However, quite awhile ago, a bottle of Champagne had exploded while packed in the back compartment of my car. I thoroughly cleaned it up or so I thought! Bryan showed me a picture of the back of my second seats. Needless to say, they did do a magnificent job on the interior too! I didn't take a pic bc I was busy that evening & of course the next day, the pollen had already settled all over the exterior. But they did a great job for a fair price!

But one day I was passing by Hicksville and saw this handwashing location. I decided to give it a try. Now I've been to some very reputable handwash places. Blues is definitely one of them. He takes his time and he cares. So I decided to get my car ceramic coated. I did go ask couple of places but none of them gave me the reassurance I was looking for. Keep in mind you don't want to mess this up since it is a semi permanent product. He took care of my car, all the swirls, took his time. He even did my calipers, exhaust tips, wheels. Overall the experience was amazing. I will recommend to anyone who is looking for a honest detailer who will put in that effort for your car.

    Ultimate Express Car Wash texted me a coupon for a free wash on my birthday, which expires 14 days…read moreafterwards. So today was the last day I could redeem it, and I did at the Levittown location. Dan, the attendant who scanned the coupon, explained that I could only get an exterior wash and that I could self vacuum for $2 extra because they wash only the outside of vehicles. This is a brushless car wash, so I did not need to worry about antenna damage. My antenna was damaged several years ago at a brush car wash, and that was the last time I ever went to one. I was the only customer around 3 pm on 11/4/25, and I was out of there about 3:07. I was impressed with the results because the exterior of my car looks clean and nice.

    I've been a customer of the Ultimate Car Wash in Valley Stream and am extremely disappointed with…read morehow my concern was handled. After going through the wash, I noticed multiple scratches on my vehicle. I reached out simply to ask whether anything had changed with the brushes inside the car wash because I had never experienced anything like this before. I wasn't looking for compensation. I was asking a question and hoping they would take my concern seriously. Instead, they immediately blamed me. They reviewed their security footage and claimed I caused the scratches by lifting the vacuum hose over my Jeep while vacuuming. I know that's not what happened. I noticed the scratches before I vacuumed and finished cleaning the car because I wanted to see if they would wipe off. Their explanation also doesn't add up. The scratches are concentrated along the passenger side of my hood and windshield frame. If the vacuum hose had actually caused them, the damage would be in completely different areas. I've also used these vacuums many times before without ever leaving a single scratch on my vehicle. What disappointed me the most wasn't that they disagreed with me. It was how quickly they dismissed my concern and blamed the customer instead of taking the time to genuinely investigate what happened. Customer service is about listening and treating customers with respect, even when there is a disagreement. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience at the Valley Stream location. Because of the way this was handled, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this location to others. I hope management takes a more customer-focused approach in the future because this experience left a really bad impression.

I standby that review, however, I bought the Ruby membership a Few weeks ago and since, this car wash has been closed the two times I've been there when there when they are supposed to be open. It's not convenient, especially in the winter months when you want to get your car washed more frequently. The first time they were closed, I mentioned it to the owner, and he said it was because the machines broke down. At least leave a sign at the entrance that you're closed due to mechanical issues. I won't stop going to this car wash, but I will not pay for a membership that I can't use when I need to use it.
