Drive N Shine on Gull Road performed what can only be described as automotive sorcery. I arrived with a vehicle that looked like it had lost a fight with Michigan weather. I left with something so shiny that birds were trying to admire themselves in the reflection. The wash was fast, the staff was great, and my car now sparkles with the confidence I wish I had. Would absolutely recommend. My only complaint is that now the rest of my life looks messy by comparison. read more

I explicitly told them, after being offered a recurring membership, that i didn't want one as i was moving to Oregon. They signed me up illegally, anyways. Furthermore, getting a one-time titanium wash didn't actually activate an 'underbody' wash, as their service seems to either malfunction or be so disorganized they don't give you what they say they will. This is the most dishonest business, offering the worst value of service for your money, in Michigan, I highly recommend everyone go somewhere else. read more

Sold me on a "Student discount 4 washes for $20" deal and instead signed me up for a monthly subscription for $30 without telling me

every time I go to the drive and on West Main the staff is very friendly and always helps me remove the antenna on the top of my car

Stopped this morning for a car wash on Gull Road at Drive & Shine, and one of their technicians went far and above what his job requires and helped me out with cleaning car mats. He happily accommodated me and gave my car extra service, which was very much appreciated in this snowy, cold and sloppy weather. ***** (five stars)!!! read more

Car wash is great but took my Ram in before 7000 mile vacation and asked about their transmission service. Trying to be proactive on the 60000 service. They assured me they had the fluid for my truck. Worried about it a day into my trip I called to see if zf8 fluid was used. They couldn't answer but after 30 minutes they said it was zf8. Felt better but after two weeks I called to check on their service for Ram 8 transmission. Said they use a cam2 fluid. They lied to me about what was used. Transmission has been working fine but they told me they put one fluid in and obviously didn't. Guys working on it were nice enough but why lie if your's list zf8 compatible. I'll leave it and have a full 3 drain and fill at 60000. read more

My truck ( BLACK ) has been scratched on the clear coat. Not enough soap as a lubing agent. My belief. Also, the paddles that touch are too stiff. If anyone with a dark color check your paint in neon light. Or bright sun. Took my truck to 2 body shops and the scratches were confirmed as car wash damage. The manager said that's a normal happing with car washes. Price is high damage high! No attempt to refund my cost to repair or wash moneys. They do have a great indoor drying area. read more

excellent care by the employees. Very clean area and helpful with the detailing area. Will be coming often.

So far so good! no complaints. when I need my mats cleaned they wash then for me. Thank you for to the staff for always being friendly!

Drive & Shine was fairly effortless. When I got to the screen where you choose what type of car wash that you would like, an employee was there who basically did everything for me. I just said that I would like basic, and he selected everything, including having to go through the annoying upcharges that usually come with the software. The actual car wash was nice. You just put your car into neutral on conveyor belts, wait about 5 minutes, and then drive off. Nothing much else to really say about that one. read more

1. I purchased the top monthly plan, and I realized that their car wash was stripping my paint off on my car. I brought it to their attention and they gave me lame excuses about it was because the type of paint I had on my car...yeah, right. I told them that I had just purchased my vehicle from the car lot so it wasn't there before, so I got nothing done but excuses. 2. I went for an oil change, and I also got a flush and fill. Now, being that my car was/is new I've been back there at least 4 times because my engine light keeps coming on... not only that when I checked my fuilds my antifreeze reservoir was almost empty, my oil wasn't completely filled, I had to go back for that. I would not suggest anyone else to go here. read more

Drive & Shine - My paint started to come off on my front fender. - Car Wash Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Team VP drives by this car wash every time we go back and forth to the dog park. This car wash is massive. When we pulled in we were immediately overwhelmed and thankfully it was 9 am and no one was behind us because we had no idea where to go. The signage is not terrific, so we just drove around to the back of the building until we saw a person who waved us over. There are signs everywhere that talk about gemstones. Rubies, diamonds and gold. This place is overrun with gemstones. The young man who explained the entire process was literally the only redeeming part of Drive and Shine. He is an amazing employee and is exceptional at his job. He needs a promotion. He was able to tell us about all the pricing options, do his job and try to up-sell without pressuring us. I don't envy his job at all, but he does it well. The car washes at Drive and Shine are expensive. I realize they come with vacuum privileges, but $9 for a basic wash is pricey (a basic wash at a competitor is $6). We opted for the next step up, which was $15 because it cleaned the undercarriage and our VW was really dirty. The wash itself was very fast and the dryers were very powerful. Our Aussies did not like any of the process. We were told before we went in that we should keep our receipt because if we were unhappy we could come back around and go through again for free. We unfortunately needed to get our Aussies home, so we left immediately. When we got home we discovered our car was not altogether $15 clean. I would say our VW was about $8 clean. There was still a significant amount of dirt on the tailgate, around the license plate, near the door handles and on the front grill. Now I know these areas are tough to get clean, but we were promised a full all around car wash. This was an experience. Unless we really need to vacuum our VW we absolutely will not be returning. read more

I stopped by the car wash today only to be greeted by Ryan after I had my basic membership car wash. Ryan went out of his way and let me use the indoor vacuum system and all the other amenities that came along with it. It was 30 degrees and misting/snowing which saved my life! thank you Ryan! read more

I have a Platinum membership and love it. I have a vip lane, a cool vip vacuum area with microfiber clothes, mat washers, and a bug free space to wipe my car down and give it final touches before I leave. This winter is going to be awesome because I won't freeze taking care of my car. Totally worth the cost. I don't need to talk to anyone because the vip sticker takes care of every gate - but the staff smiles and waves at me and they play good music in the vip detail area. Also, if you're STILL on the fence - this is a family owned company in the Great Lakes area. Go on....make your car shine! It always makes me smile. :) read more

Despite their sales pitch touting "non-scratching neoglide foam wraps" on their washing equipment, my new car was severely scratched up all across the entire rear deck by their "foam wraps". When cars go through their wash in winter covered with sand from the roads it goes onto their foam wraps and they scratch just like brushes at any other car wash. If you value your paint job, go to a brushless wash. My new car's beautiful paint is ruined. As a person who has detailed cars for years I should've known better than to believe this marketing nonsense. There is no such thing as a paint friendly touch automated car wash. read more

Drive & Shine - New Car Scratched Severely By Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Finally, a first class car wash in Kalamazoo. The quality of care here far exceeds all the other car wash places in town. I've had the unlimited membership at the other two W Kzoo wash places but drive & Shine's belt system is smoother, the wash is better (a lot), the drying is better and the PRICE is even better. They also offer a heated drying and vacuum area if you want to really perfect your cars shine. Honestly the best part is driving onto a belt, no rails to scratch my rims, no hump to hit your undercarriage, and a super smooth ride through the wash. I signed up for VIP ongoing service for both our cars. Another service is their detail shop. I haven't tried it but it looks very clean and w read more

Cleaned inside of car fast and was done very well the staff was very friendly and helpful

Oil change advertised at $30, actually was $100. I my second and last trip to this ripoff. The guy working was nice, but not $70 nice. This stupid place is an eyesore and a waste of money. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I've been a member at the gull rd location since they opened. I like the fact that I can get my truck washed (even though it's never dried my back window), get a oil change and clean the interior of my truck back to back at the same place. It's also near my home. What I Don't like is how rude/unprofessional the manager Trent is. his customer service skills are horrible, he don't know how to talk to customers with dignity and respect. I also experience this same kind of mannerism from a girl named Alyssa there. They can definitely use some better training. Maybe they could benefit from the girl Ciera who's wile works there with them. She greets customers with a smile all the time, she's very courteous and ver has very good manners. I came through one day and the bug juice didn't come off my windshield the first time, so I pulled back around and Ciera allowed me to go back through again. The manager Trent wouldn't let me go back through, he actually tried to charge me for a wash when I pay for a platinum membership monthly. read more

Drive & Shine - Bug juice still on after going through. Trent tried to charge me for a single wash when I pay for monthly platinum washes. - Car Wash Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

We needed to get our truck clean while in town and stopped here due to location. We thought the price was quite high compared to other car washes and we were disappointed we did not get a wipe down afterwards. Overall, we needed a car wash and we are satisfied with what we received. read more

I had the VIP membership and over the winter the car wash beat the paint off my car leaving several deep scratches but to get anywhere I had to know the day of each exact scrape to be able to confirm it on camera which over winter I didn't check every day to know. (CHECK YOUR CAR)!! The staff is kind but the car wash is brutal to you car and will leave marks! I have never had a car wash leave such deep scrapes and blemishes. I added just a few examples of what happens to me today when I finally decided to review the place... read more

My windshield cracked while in the car wash on 6-13-22. I watched it crack. It started at the bottom near wipers and went up to rear view mirror. I reported it to Jeremy. Jeremy took my information and said he would get back with me in 48 hours. He said he had to watch the videos to make sure that it actually happened in the car wash. A week goes by and nothing from the manager. I also left a message on 6-12-22, and no one returned my phone call. On Monday afternoon, 6-20-22, 7 days later, I talked to Jeremy again and he said he lost the paperwork. He said the crack started at the top from a previous chip, which there wasn't and clearly was getting his story mixed up. Not impressed with him at all. Never apologized, basically said there was nothing they could or would do about it. For a million dollar car wash, they really should find new management to run and operate and to at least follow through phone calls. Very disappointing. No customer service at all! read more

It cost too much for what you get in the summer, winter its ok. I do not like going and they are down for work that they should be doing after hours. You pay for service and you cannot get, or you have to waste gas going back a few times. Some of the workers are kind of smart butt, and think its funny, but it is not to ride across town to was your car and cannot get in. Also, I explained I did not want to paid on the 1st, that is not even when I started, today I went in and was told my card was expired. I hope it was, I do not want them to take any more money out of my account. I did not even know they went up until they starting taking the money! Its ok, but I can go somewhere else, if they do not lower my plan. Now I have to go back outside to get my account number so they will I hate I have them my card, going change it. read more

The wash isn't bad it's the harassment to get into the was that is. At both locations you can't just pull up and pay for a wash they have an attendee come out like your are an idiot that can't operate a card reader. The. You spend 10 minutes getting sales pitched on why you should pay for a monthly subscription. Say no and it ramps up. It's as bad as trying to cancel AOL was back in the day. read more

Polite and friendly staff and the Car wash never fails to please!

Clean facility with a friendly staff. Great place to get a wash when you don't have the time to spare!!!

Disappointed at my car wash. The experience was neat, and for a "million dollar" car wash I thought the results would be superior. But in the end and $25 later I think I'll stick with the $15 "other guys." They missed the entire roof of my car and there was dirt and residue left all over my car. :-/ it might be due to me having a small car and I do find that to be a common issue at many places. They do offer a "rewash guarantee"... so I will try that and update. I guess I just expected more from all the marketing hype. *update* I did have my car rewashed and it's still dirty. whelp, you live and learn. Probably because I have a small car. Just a guess. read more

I went twice to use their car wash and somehow they took my credit card information, signed me up for a monthly subscription, and continued charging me $50 a month until I just recently noticed and canceled. I never signed anything or agreed to anything they just started charging me a monthly subscription I don't know if it's legal or not,but I would never recommend these scammers to anyone. Plus, their car wash is very overpriced for what you get. read more

Towards the end of the initial month of car washes my friend determined that she would not be able to use it in the near future. She tried to cancel on line but that option was not available or not found. We went to the Gull Road facility and the attendant did something with the sign in system and told us that her wash service was canceled effective midnight. Some days later her credit card was charged for another month of washes. She called the company but they would not refund her money. She was forced to dispute the charge with her credit card which was not acceptable. In my opinion, a compnay that makes it hard to cancel a service then refuses to refund an incorrect charge is not deserving of out future business. That is sad since we enjoyed going there. No mas Drive and Shine., read more

I love this car wash! Super friendly employees and they always do a great job on my oil change too! Love the VIP membership!

Solid car wash and huge plus it fits my Jeep Wrangler with fat tires. Not many if any really do that so I appreciate it. With a nice vacuum station just outside and An indoor option. Throw in you can get oil changes and car repairs it's truly a one stop shop. read more

HORRIBLE. I paid $25 for a service that didn't clean my car. The vac area was filthy with trash and dirt all over. Two of the first vacs didn't function and one had the wand stuck inside the machine and the hose dangling. I contacted them on Facebook Messenger, including sending pics, and all they did was make excuses that my antenna, according to an owner's manual, was 8" and too long and that the brushes had to be retracted. They kept sending me pics of some car's antennas. That doesn't exactly address the dirt on the front bumper, sides, and wheels. I don't have this experience at other places, such as Milwood, where the wash is only $6 and my car is clean, or at the washes at Meijer Xtreme car wash with either brushless or standard wash. I guess giving them the opportunity to fix the issue wasn't good enough and they seemed to want to keep making excuses and texting me. I ended up having to block them. I wasn't asking for a refund; just a fix! I won't return and I will not recommend this place. read more

Love Drive & Shine, been subscribed to their membership since I heard of them. 10/10 Recommend them for your Car wash needs!

I've been signed up for VIP for about 6 months. I'm an Uber/Lyft driver and it is extremely important for me to be able to Vacuum out my car daily. This Kalamazoo location has still not restarted their outdoor vacuums. It is now the end of July 2020. I gave you one extra month, but can wait no longer. All the other car washes have restarted their outdoor vacuums, so you can no longer blame Covid restrictions. P.S. I will not pay another extra $20 a month to use the inside vacuums. read more

Really wanted to like this. After living in Stafford, Virginia for a number of years I was extremely spoiled with a car wash that was $20 and full service. That wash had employees buzzing around, would hand dry your car with several employees and even wipe down your interior. I have been searching for something similar here in Michigan. Sadly this car wash that I used today was NOT even close. The employee by the credit card machine was kind and that's the only reason for 2 stars. My Explorer back end was extremely dirty in the entire back and even had parts on the side that were not touched. The fire blowers looked cool, but did not dry my car any better. I'll stick to Bob and Kay's read more

Lately their claim to be able to get your car washed once a day is false. The Gull Rd location keeps closing for piddly reasons. They are losing money so close early. Well how about this send folks home in the other service areas but at least keep the car wash section open. Lately this has occurred 3 times. I do not drive over there just for a joy ride. I come with a purpose for which I paid money. You either are in business for customer satisfaction or you are NOT!!! read more

Go in on the 14th for a simple oil change ended paying almost $400 354 to be exact , drove it downtown to see if anything was wrong , nothing , drove up the street 5 mins and still fine , drive to galbergs about a 25 minute drive and on the way back the check engine light comes on and car cuts off now its engine rattling like there is no oil , now the car ran like a top as my nephew is a dealer and mechanic so it was basically the car I wanted to my specs and a definite runner 07 maxima had them before they are work horses the sup comes looking suspicious and neverous ( should be drug tested ) and starts in with the obvious double talk how there's nothing they can do and engines can go from quiet to full blown knocking ( I'm 52 driving since 12 ) like I'm idiot and from these reviews EYE'M GOING FOR FULL BLOWN CLASS ACTION SUIT . THEY PUT IN THE WRONG DAMN OIL AND THEY KNOW IT . Their body language was way off , he had a prepared script and it was obvious and insulting and they must pay nominal and punitive damages for the coked up or hungover slick taking supervisor ! read more

When in for a car wash and was handed a $20 off coupon for being a V.I.P. Member, left after getting an oil change for my car to die every time I stopped , took it back to dns and has me sign a paper where in fine print said they were not liable, took my vehicle to get diagnosed for them to tell me they used the wrong oil and over filled it, had almost 8 quarts of oil when my car takes 4.8, highly do NOT recommend taking your vehicle to a car wash for an oil change read more
