The service is great but DO NOT GO when the owner is away he leaves his crazy wife in charge and she treats the clients and the staff very badly. She made me wait for hours just to say they were closing. I've been going there for 15 years and never had any issues until the wife was left in charge. read more

I love the way that they wash my car. Been coming here for about 10 years over. No matters where u get my car wash never come out so clean like the way that primo doing it. Thank you read more

This car wash is a hidden gem. $25 totally worth it. They left my car looking brand new and they put effort into their work. Also, most of the time there is a wait time but I went early and went in right away but either way the wait is worth it. read more

Approximately one year ago I "Googled" local car washes, but I wasn't pleased with any of the reviews that I found - at least, that is to say, not enough to get in my car, grab some cash (at the ATM), and head on over to one of them. One of the local joints I discovered, a hole-in-the-wall just a few blocks away from my apartment, was listed on Google, but I really was taken back by its appearance - it really looks like a hole-in-the-wall - enough that I avoided the place for the next year... Well, I cannot express to you enough about what a mistake it was for me to avoid El Primo Hand Car Wash in Garfield, NJ! Today, I decided to take a chance and drive up to the entrance of El Primo; and it's a little confusing. El Primo is located next to a body shop, so it's not entirely clear which entrance to approach in your vehicle; I'm used to drive-thru car washes with one entrance, one exit; El Primo has one entry/exit, so their capacity is quite low. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing... The caballeros inside are highly attentive to the vehicle they're cleaning, since they're never overloaded. The only downside I can see is if you're one of the unlucky ones who had to wait their turn outside: you have to park in the street and simply wait... Bummer. Just keep in mind the awesome service that is about to come! The hand wash is fast and effective - no streaks in the glass. They do a nice vacuum job and they Armor All the entire dash as well as door panels. They even wipe the (frequently missed) dirty parts of the doors - you know, those places that can't be cleaned by automatic washes when the doors are closed. Lastly, the wheels: if you've got rims, trust no other. They do an amazing job on rims and hub caps, and they literally gloss the ties with a paint brush (yeah, a paint brush!). Now, the best part... When I pulled up to check out the place I met a guy with an Audi A4 in the wash. I asked him about the rate and he replied, "$15... but I give them $20 and it's worth it!" The guy comes to El Primo all the way from Nutley! (This means El Primo is perhaps one of the best car washes for miles!) I gave $20 for the (in my words) mini-detailing of my Malibu... and it's worth it. Go there. read more

Awesome car wash!! Washed entire exterior of my Jeep (even the roof), cleaned all windows inside and out, vacuumed, wiped down dash and center console, went to town cleaning my wheels and ArmorAll on tires including the spare..... all for $20! How can you possibly go wrong here? I will definitely be coming back here again read more

Love this car wash!! best service ever! I been to car washes near Belleville, Nutley & Passaic NOTHING compared to this place! It gets super packed on weekends just like any other business, I recommend coming during the week I take the 30 min drive because it's worth it! read more

Hand wash exterior and vacuumed interior 20 bucks not bad in the cold weather . Good service

Ehh. It's $20 for a hand car wash. The guys that work there a rude and creepy. If you're a young female prepare to be uncomfortable. The wait is long and they always have a few cars waiting and once they have a packed garage you have to wait for everyone else's cars to be finished so they can get your car out. read more

absolutely had the worse experience. went for a car wash and as I was entering into their garage (as per the employee guide) I stopped because I knew it was tight but he kept telling me to keep coming forward. unfortunately my back passenger side hit the entrance and my back passenger door and side is scratched badly along with the tire rim. At first the owner and manager were yelling at their employee as he was laughing admitting their mistake. they both told me they will fix it and not to worry. at the end of the car wash, the owner disappeared and manager refused to fix it. He was raising his voice trying to scare me. i guess because I was a female and alone. i told him why did he agree to fix it then and he said he is not responsible and that I shouldn't have listened to his employee. this doesn't make sense at all as this was required in order to get in. do not use this car wash as you will not leave happy. i have pics of the car and they didn't even vacuum it. read more
