I took my 2023 Toyota Camry to this wash for the first time. I have taken a previous car to this wash several dozen times and have had the membership before. I was disappointed with how the highest level wash (the ceramic) left some areas of my car. The front area just above the grill and the trunk around my license plate were still dirty but it looked obvious because there were dirty streaks and swirls. I had to pass over those areas with a towel when I got home. I would not consider returning for a wash knowing that even at the highest tier the machine leaves spots dirty. read more

When this location first opened, it was amazing. The service was great and all the machines were well kept. But today, I went for a quick carwash and vacuum. The wash was $11, which is the wash plus tires. The machine did not clean to well under the side mirrors, but honestly for $11 that's really no big deal. The rest of the car looked good. When I parked to vacuum the inside of my car, the moment I grab one of the vacuum hose, the hose completely came off from the top connection and fell on top of my head. I was covered in dirt from whatever other customers had vacuumed up. I walked to the other side of my car and used that hose instead. The suction was horrendous, it took for ever to manage to vacuum the minimal amount of dirt my carpet had. I later noticed the head of the vacuum was broken, split in half, no wonder it wasn't suctioning anything! I kept cool and tried not stressing over this because again I only paid $11. Once I finished vacuuming, I decided to purchase and air freshener, and not much of a shocker, but the machine wasn't working yet AGAIN! I am positive that machine has been broken since they opened their establishment. I decided to head to the managers office. When I walked in the manager or supervisor was there. I explained to her that the hose fell on my head, and all she said was that it wasn't their fault, that it happens because other customers tug on the hose too much, it usually happens after like ten people. She kept cutting me off by saying " sorry mama but it's not our fault". I told her that even though I paid $11 I think I deserved some type of compensation. She kept telling me that was impossible, they are unable to give any form of refund. She later told me, fine we could give you a free wash next visit. I said that's better than nothing. She printed a random receipt from another client , the last four of the vida aren't mine, and hand wrote her name on the receipt for me to present next time I go and wash my car. As I was walking back to my car, another guest was asking for the manager for a similar situation that occurred to me. Please be very careful if you choose to go here, the service is HORRIBLE and the hose might fall on top of you, especially if you are lucky number 10! read more

I would not recommend you go here! Keep in mind I have been going here to vacuum my car for the last 5 years and it has never been an issue today, me a black women the only person stopped keep in mind was rudely informed that is not allowed anymore as I watched 2-3 cars pass me and do the exact same thing. So no, they are one racist because how do you come to the only black person but everyone else is okay? Hmm I wonder, and on top of that no where does it say you have to get your car washed, prior to receiving a wash, especially if this is what I have been doing every single weekend for five years! But hey i guess that's there new business motto or maybe just if you're black! read more

I have come to this locations a few times when I'm in the area. I do like the setup where you wash your car first then you can head over to the vacummn area where you can hand dry and detail your car. I always plan on doing this as the car is never really dried or completely clean after the machine wash. It works for me, not for others. read more

We have had this service for our cars for at least 2 years. Love that we can vacuum anytime and keep are car clean. It gets busy but is worth the wait. They have many locations in Miami. read more

There's this one girl there with black hair, fake nails, annoying voice, arrogant and rude attitude that's always on her cell phone that even though 2 lanes are open she only keeps 1 open! Because she's too lazy to move back-and-forth or thinks people are too stupid to use the machine. Also, the last time I was here she forced me into one lane while 2 other people that were behind me went to the open lane and got their car wash earlier. Horrible customer service can't stand this place because of this lady I'm done. read more

This trending type of business is what is needed throughout. This is a facility I love, their quality of service and deals. I got to know them based on a flyer when they open. They offered free car wash for a value of $8. The line was huge and I could not believe my eyes. Not your typical car wash. Things that stood up from the rest: - They have personnel by the paying stations to help the customers with their orders. Glad because I was lost. - There is a continuous flow of cars into the washing area, rather than park and wait your turn for the prior customers. Line moves you automatically, just put the car on neutral and enjoy the service. - They have a person assigned to manually clean your tag area of your vehicle and your rear wiper if your car has one. Mine does. - Vacuums are available and for free, many stations - They have happy hours where there prices are reduced by $2 (daily 8a.m. to 9a.m. and also 6p.m. to 8p.m.) - Friendly staff, so far every time I've been there. - Lastly, they haven't scratched my cars unlike other places. PS: This is great for those who live in a gate community that usually wouldn't allow car washing at their properties. You would love this place. read more

El Car Wash - Front - Auto Detailing Near Me - Miami, Florida

I am a monthly membership member and have been to various locations, this location however has stood out from most due to an exceptional team member. Thank you Desiree for going above and beyond to help me out. Every time I have been to this location (mornings) before I am never ever able to find anyone that works there to help me out. I have the hardest time finding someone in the morning shift to help me with the most basic of things as a monthly paying member such as air freshener and towels. I just want to acknowledge Desiree for her amazing customer service and help this last time I visited. read more

Didn't dry my car so covered in watermark and now I have to go somewhere else and pay more to have it rewashed

The ladies at this location are always the nicest!! Hildalina was incredibly nice in showing me the different packages I could get. This is my favorite location and I always come here!! read more

Love going through the car wash and having my car clean but as a member of this place and them never having towels ready is kinda disappointing read more

I literally came out with my car dirty after going thru there wash the windshield was worse than before and this is the worse I know these drive thru car wash are not perfect but this one did absolutely nothing I'm on my way to a gas station one that works better and cheaper the only thing that was good was the vacuum smh read more

Why have a "members only" lane when the staff doesn't enforce this? How on earth are the customers so dumb they need assistance to operate a machine that is extremely user friendly. I wish a trap door would open up and swallow those who use the members only lane who are not members and those too dumb to operate a pay kiosk. read more

If I could give it one star I would. I paid for the most expensive wash which was $22 dollars. When I entered, the machine blinked on the one that was less expensive and that's what I ended up getting despite paying for the most expensive one. I went to talk to someone and they gave me the runaround and said there was nothing they could do. Wouldn't go back. read more

My husband recently became a member and was super happy with the service the first time he came to this location. However, after becoming a member the employees have become rude because he has complained the Members Line is selling memberships and makes the wait time way too long for existing members. They get upset when you tell them abs instead of apologizing they give you a rude response. read more

They half ass the pressure cleaning even if you order the top of the line wash you will be lucky if they pressure clean your car. Also it seems like they wait for a line to form in order to let you in. I've given this place plenty of chances but I'm canceling my membership today read more

What I love about this place is the fact that it is near ,& by a good area specially for those FIU students. Every time I go to this place it is always packed but I have never waited to get my car vacuum ( you don't get charged for vacuuming your car it is FREE ) they also have different choices on car wash but they go from $5.00-$12.00.I always get the $10.00 on which includes the wheels, rims, wash & dry. read more

They were very good for some time, but the service quality has become extremely poor. The overall experience is bad, and overpriced. 1. Why have a Members only lane when it's not enforced? It's overcrowded and you can get stuck behind someone that takes 20 min to go through. 2. Vacuums are not sufficient. hands down. 3. With their best option, the wheels are not cleaned, the back of the car is always dirty and you need several runs to get bugs off of the front. 4. Employees are really rude. Unless you are at the kiosk buying membership, they are ready to fight you if you ask a simply question. Some of the worst people you can find. 5. You have nowhere to clean rubber mats. They refuse to wash them for you. read more

Car Wash Ok, vacuum cleaner isn't working properly. Be ready to pay extra to vacuum your car at the gas station.

Great quick car wash with free vacuums for customers. Good variety of packages for washes. Sometimes after going through, car isn't as clean as it should be but if you bring it to the attendants attention, they'll let you pass again. Not bad for a wash when you're in a hurry. read more

El Car Wash - Car wash entrance - Auto Detailing Near Me - Miami, Florida

El Car Wash at 127 and 8st. I have always come to this Car Wash and everyone has taken care of me and never disrespected me. Everyone is very nice and helpful. Even though twice my husband had to replace his side mirrors on his F150 Truck because the machines broke them. Of course we had to replace them. On January 2nd 2020, I went to get my car washed. There was a car that was like waiting which lane would he go to and was faster. Then I decided to do the same to see what was going on. Well there comes this car and races to get on the left lane of me. I put the window down and I said...I've been waiting and he replied BUT THERE'S 2 LANES.... like if I didn't know that!!! I said I know but something is going on and I was waiting to see which lane went faster. So he replies I'm an educated person! I mean , yeah I can tell very educated. Well he got to the attendant first and told his well educated story! So when the attendant (a large curly blonde girl - I'm sorry didnt get her name) came to my side and I tried to explain to her she had an attitude and all I wanted was to get a chance to explain what happened! She was flashing her hands through her face and did not let me explain. Like she already knew the story and I was wrong! She was saying to the guy to call the cops. That it happens all the time! I wasn't mad and upset or cut anyone off all I wanted was to explain. She kept walking back and forth. So she decided to move all the cars to the left side so that I can back out. I really think that after the new management this Car Wash has gone down. Because last few times they don't wash the back window or put the plastic on rear wiper, it doesn't come out as clean and the dryer doesn't dry. I have also noticed that when they reply on the reviews they have an attitude. Don't they know that the customer is always right! Or at least try to keep them happy like before when they opened. Attention Liliana Estefan YOU NEED A BETTER MANAGEMENT TEAM. read more

I've been a member of their 19.99 a month "El Basic" wash for almost 3 months. Today for the first time I came to wash my truck and I had a few bird droppings on the rear tailgate. I asked the attendant to please blast the droppings with the pressure washing gun that they have as I go through, he refused. ( They've done this before) He called the manager over that said that the new owners dont allow for what I'm requesting with the basic package and I would need to upgrade! This is terrible business practice, these car wash places use recycled water, is it really that big a deal? Note to "The new owner" focus on your customers experience and compromise with the people who frequent your establishment, those who commit to paying you a reoccurring fee every month are the last one you want to penalize with a move like this. I understand that sometimes these things happen and hopefully someone important at El Car Wash reads this and comes to their senses. I will continue my membership, for now. But I cant promise I will keep it much longer if this continues. read more

I have been going to this location for a car wash for a long time. When the new owners took over, the quality went down big time. Now, when I leave the wash, my windows look just as dirty as they did before I arrived. I don't recommend this car wash to anyone. read more

Vacuums don't work.... They are horrible. Please get some timer on the vacuum situation..... I had a guy next to me waxing his car while the line for vacuuming was out the street. Thank read more

This is probably the worst "El Carwash" I've ever had the misfortune of visiting. The customer service was horrendous. Unfortunately, My car broke down while waiting in the car wash line. I understand the inconvenience it caused for the couple of minutes I was there, but at the same time, this accident could've happened to anybody at any given time. I was forced to push my car all the way out, by myself. Whatever, that part I guess is fine. But even so, other cars still had plenty of space to go in & out & they had enough space to wash & vacuum; regardless of that, I wasn't even able to be there for a couple of minutes to call somebody to come help me or anything & I was forced to push it out myself (again). I understand that it is not their responsibility provide any assistance to me in my time of need.. but instead of being professional about it, they all looked angry and annoyed & couldn't wait to get me out of their sight even though the process of pushing out my car by myself took about 3 minutes & there was no disruption to their business. I understand the inconvenience & that helping me is not in their job description or the customer service they are supposed to provide; But my question is, where was their humanity? ------------- Este es probablemente el peor "El Carwash" que he tenido la desgracia de visitar. El servicio al cliente fue horrible. Desafortunadamente, mi auto se descompuso mientras esperaba en la línea de lavado de autos. Entiendo los inconvenientes que causó por el par de minutos que estuve allí, pero al mismo tiempo, este accidente podría haberle ocurrido a cualquiera en cualquier momento. Me vi obligado a empujar mi auto todo el camino, sola. Lo que sea, esa parte supongo que está normal. Pero aún así, otros autos aún tenían mucho espacio para entrar y salir y tenían suficiente espacio para lavarse y aspirar; independientemente de eso, nisiquiera pude estar allí por un par de minutos para llamar a alguien para que viniera a ayudarme o cualquier cosa, y me vi obligada a expulsarlo sola (otra vez). Entiendo el inconveniente y entiendo que no es su responsabilidad ni la descripción de su trabajo el brindarme ayuda en mi momento de necesidad. Pero en lugar de ser profesionales al respecto, todos se veían enojados y molestos y no podían esperar para sacarme de su vista, aunque el proceso de sacar mi auto solo tomó menos de 3 minutos y no hubo interrupciones en su negocio. Entiendo los inconvenientes pero ¿dónde estaba su humanidad? read more

I hadn't come in a while but today the customer service was so splendid! I was delighted

No vacuum available. I have a membership. And i can wash the car only? What about the car inside?

I like that you get to vacuum your own car for free. You can choose to wash your car through their giant machine. If you do the works it's $16 and an enjoyable experience. I thought it was creative how it looked like lava was falling on my car. Definitely a good experience. read more

I am one of those frequent car wash nuts. Both my fiancé and I have brand new cars so I like to wash them at least once a week. The happy hour deals ($2.00 off) from 8-9 am or 6-8 pm makes it worth while. Many car washes down here in south Florida will dent and scratch your car over time. Not this place they have brand new equipment and then add free vacuum after you can not beat this deal. The times I've been there with a line it's very quick and I'm usually in and out in 25 - 30 mins even after vacuuming. Take it for what it's worth but from a crazy car wash but I will not go anywhere else from now on!! read more

If I could give no stars I would. Never thought we would get treated like my car is not worth a cent. I went to el Carwash on 121 Sw 8 st to get my wife's car washed. As soon as we finished. My wife noticed a chunk of paint missing from the driver side rear rim. Especially brand new car. The manager told me that they would not fix it. That their is nothing I can do. Not only that, I ask to speak to who ever was above him and he said no. Also I asked to speak to the owner, and he also said no. I asked for a business card, and he said he does not have any. I run a company, and if I made a mistake, I would own up to it. Not turn you back on the customer when they have the right for the manager to figure out a solution. Horrible customer service. I paid for a Carwash, not to get my wheel scratched and not done something about it. I will never get any of my vehicles washed here. If that's how the owners of El Carwash are going to take care of their customers. read more

I'm actually a fan of the "El Car Wash" but today they dropped the ball- extremely poor customer service experience. I showed up a few minutes before closing. I was happy that they were still open. I paid for the "deluxe " $14 wash. By the time I pulled out of the car wash & pulled into the area to vacuum they had turned off the vacuums. There were at least 3-4 other cars as well that were already in the process of vacuuming when the machines were shut off. I spoke with the manager on duty and he said that they close at 8:30pm and that they shut everything down at that time so they can leave at a decent time. I can appreciate that but that's extremely poor customer service. They should at least leave the vacuums on for 10 minutes after the last car has gone thru the wash cycle. read more

The workers who are in charge of hosing the car before the actual service display a lot of attitude i did NOT appreciate.

I came here with my father in-law at 5:58 pm, excited at the prospect of getting my car washed for only $5. I found it odd that there wasn't a line at the time I was getting my car washed. As it turned out the carwash has a happy hour rate for $3 starting at 6 pm. I realized this after purchasing my car wash ticket. I tried to resolve this prior to getting my car washed however good customer service is not an attribute associated with this establishment. Instead of apologizing and asking us to contact the owner tomorrow, they proceeded to have a metro-dade police officer talk to us, who was in line after 6 pm, I hope this was not while on duty and on tax payer dollars. If you go here I would only advise going during their not-so-happy hour, but good luck getting any quality service. Car wash finish was mediocre at best. read more

This is a cheap place for a car wash. The concept is idea for wash and go and do it yourself vacuuming. Unfortunately, you have this little girl with a big mouth and disrespectful attitude working there. She should be let go because she is a stain in this otherwise good and convenient car wash. read more

This is a family experience! I always pick the $16 car wash since it has buff, hot wax, shine, all the good stuff plus it dries it out well. The only negative was today, when I went and the drier didn't function well. I called them and they said that if I brought in the receipt, I'd receive another wash for free. But unfortunately, I threw it out when I started vacuuming my car. But for next time, I'll know if the dryer doesn't work I can re-wash for free. Other than that, it is an awesome experience for the whole family really. My kids love this car wash. It's something we had never experienced before. You have to give it a try! read more
