Not dusted at all.
Jackie S.

This place is outrageously expensive. $36 for a basic interior and exterior clean. In Chicago the same service would be $13-$25 so I expected it to be at least the quality level of that. Instead the $25 interior clean was nothing other than cleaning rubber mats. As you can see the car was left with crumbs and dust and this was after I asked them to go over the area again. They didn't vacuum the trunk either. Just a really subpar job made worse by the inflated price.

Ok, one star because like many before me have said, zero stars is not a Yelp option. Where to begin...my wife's car is a disaster. She just doesn't have the time or inclination to wash and vacuum. In an effort to be an amazing husband, I tell said wife, I'm going to get your car cleaned. I'm not talking about one of those gas station car washes, I'm taking it to Drive & Shine. Their tv commercials say they are awesome. Your car will be like new inside and out in 10 minutes. Now I know that's probably an exaggeration, but if I go first thing in the morning, my wait time should be minimized. Here is where it gets fun. I pull up second in line. I know I'm getting out at least close to the 10 minutes now. I pull up to the kid, and he recommends the Inside Out Special, only $40, that's a full $10 off of their regular rate. Now I'm regretting my decision to not run it through the gas station washer. But, by god, my wife is worth a ruby wash and clean interior right. This is a fun part, the wash guys are here, but the guys that do the inside don't start for another half hour. "Do you want to wash it and come back in a half hour for the inside?" He asks. Hell no! I'll just drive to Starbucks, add $8 to NYU car wash experience, and come back when the inside guys start. After I finish my half caf latte, I return for my prize. My helpful friend was still manning the check in station so I confidently ask for the $40 inside out special. Small problem here, it seems the inside guys are here, but they still haven't programmed his supercomputer to ring up the special that was prominently displayed in front of me. No problem, just pay him for the outside, and pay the other guy separately for the inside. $25 later, he sends me on my way to...you guessed it...a gas station drive through tunnel washer. After being dragged through with the windows up and transmission in neutral I pull around to the inside guys. A short wait and a kid, perhaps supercomputer guy's brother asks what I want. I want the inside clean like on tv I tell him. No problem, pull up and go to the waiting room. "Where is your receipt?" Inside guy asks. Well I threw it in the trash, but supercomputer guy said I had to pay you anyway I says. $15 later I'm back in business. "Your going to clean it like on tv right?" "I want he floor mats clean too". "There is some leftover cashew chicken gravy that leaked from the carry out box that needs removed." Inside guy takes a peek and assures me the cleaning vinyl mats is included. After a short wait, I'm called from the pack of poor schleps waiting for a clean car, handed my keys and I'm on my way. Except...the hood of the car still has bird poop residue, the dash wasn't wiped, the windows are streaky, and the cashew chicken gravy is still on the floor mat. There was almost no value for a $40 price tag. My recommendation is, just don't bother with this place. You could easily duplicate the value by throwing $35 out of your car window, drive through a gas station car wash, and have your 3 year old nephew detail the inside for you. One star because I can't give zero. Avoid this place

They NEVER went into the passenger side door to check the cabin air filter or lights.
Rowena D.

Ok so I went in to get my oil changed because I just purchased my used vehicle and I don't trust that the dealership did any of the regular check fluid items and I was right. Everything was bad from engine oil to tranny to coolant. But the reason I gave them 2 stars is because you would think you get what you paid for. They changed it but everything says it was checked and ok on the list and they don't check everything so the pricing is ridiculous! You think of you ask for a full service oil change you would get what is checked off on their checklist they show you. Thankfully, I knew that the cabin air filter was new because when I checked it on the car lot it was way too dirty and had lots of debris. So, just be cautious when going and make sure you know what you want before you purchase.

See all

One of my favorite places to be on Wednesday evenings! Why hump day? Because it's Wacky Wednesday…read morehere and that means $3 off every car wash! After paying, you drive through the car wash and are instructed by the employees on when to drive up. They will give you car a good scrub and/or spray down first because entering the was itself. Helps to remove the bugs and grime. Free vacuums, car mat cleans (for cloth mats only) and Windex (bring your own paper towels or rags) for those who have paid for an automatic car wash. Employees are attentive and helpful, the parking lot is always clean. Warning: if you get dizzy spells the flashing, disco-like lights inside the car wash may make you nauseous.

I signed up for a buy one get one free in January. It should have ended in February, but I have now…read morebeen charged two months in a row for $29.95. I have tried contacting them to the number that's on the website 574-777-0525 I always get a prerecorded message that all the representatives are busy. It tells you to leave a voicemail and they'll call you back but no one ever calls you back. It also tells you to use option number two to have someone return to call to your phone number but again no one ever calls back. I have also tried contacting them through the website and given them my email address and phone number and no one has contacted me. I went to the location in Goshen but the gentleman that i spoke to said that he could not do anything about that and that I had to contact the number that's on the website the same one that I've called multiple times with no response. I give them a negative five stars for terrible customer service and no way to get a hold of anyone to talk to about your account. I figure that if I posted a review maybe they would see this and actually try to contact me. It's funny the response that they give on all of these reviews is the same stupid number that I keep calling and no one ever answers or calls you back.

I don't even know where to begin. Id give this place -0 star. I have been a member for 2-3 years…read more This past year, it's been happening way too much. Its either the gate wont open or the entrance is blocked for maintenance or something else is broken. Last time I came, both gates were not opening, and the screen is stuck on "cancelling transactions" must be the person before me. Since I have a monthly membership, I just wait for the gate to open. When this happens I usually call the number posted next to the screen, and the person on the phone (usually male associate) ask for my plate #, name, phone # then give me a code to press on the screen so I can drive in to get my wash. This last time, a female associate answered the call. I told her both gates were not opening my car and a pick truck on the other gate stuck behind the gates and a few cars came behind and they ended up leaving. She asked for my phone number, plate number, credit card on file, what type of membership I have and she still can't figure out what is going on. Both gates were blocked for at least 20 minutes or so. Not only I can't get my car wash and wasting my time but also to those people that came and wanted to get their car washed. My issue wasn't resolved even after I gave all the information that I was asked, I was not given a code to get in. She have all my informations. I wish this person was more helpful like the other/person times I ran with the same issue. I also told her I came 2 days ago with no issue. Then the next 5 or so times I come, no issue and then repeat. She still asked me to wait while she figures out what is going on. I was running out of time so I just turned around and left the location. I am cancelling my membership because I'm so done with these issues they keep having. It's a waste of time and a headache more than anything else. Went to get a wash today and no issues. (3 weeks left of membership Go get a membership elsewhere. Save yourself a headache and don't go here.
