Wash Packages

This is a very fast-paced auto wash/spa. I had a free car wash voucher from their sister location where I got my regular oil change. When I arrived, I decided to upgrade for a fee to my rim and wheels washed separately from my car, going through the wash. I have to say this is one of the fasted car washes I've ever had. It was well worth the dollar value and upgrade. It's a really fast-paced service, so stay sharp and don't forget to tip. It's hot outside, and those guys are working really hard to get you in and out. Great service, I'll be back soon.

To help eliminate blocking traffic the wrap around line is not near the car wash entrance but it is visibly marked with a sign. While waiting we saw a car finish the car wash and watched as two service members had to flag for them to move. When we got to the booth to pay and were asked what fragrance we wanted I was a bit bummed to find out they didn't have samples of the fragrances. They said they had samples when you got to the other side but that the "encouraged" choosing a scent here to eliminate holding up the line on the other side, aka, choose now. (We got the Silver Package.) The automated car wash itself is very basic, nothing super special like most of the regular car washes. We did have an issue at the end where the car started going backwards on the track and we made the decision to drive out after seeing the go sign and how close our car was getting to the one behind us. As we started to pull out the sign that said "go" changed to "wait". One of the staff off to the side started waving at us to go. Just like the car we'd witnessed there seems to be a disconnect between the car wash signage and what the staff want you to do. The interior clean was decent in terms of the inside window wash but the "wipe" of the dashboard is just that, a wipe. They took out the weather mats and washed those, which was great, but it didn't look like the really vacuumed where the mats had been. We will have to do that ourselves at home. As far as seatih, they had some benches for customers to sit on while their car was being attended too, but it was all outdoors. Covered, thankfully, but still outdoors. The sent we got was Mountain Pine, which made me think of the air fresheners used in public gas station bathrooms so... Yeah. Overall a decent experience. If you have a dirty car and want to get a head start on the cleaning so you have a little less work to do yourself, then go for it. (Though we probably won't be back here again ourselves for this purposes.) If you want your car sparkling and clean without having to do any follow up yourself, then skip this place and find somewhere else.

They are cleaning the inside good!

I love this car wash! I'm not sure why there are bad reviews? I think the only bad thing about this place is that it's very popular and it can get busy. If you go during the weekday or when it's raining? It's the best time to go. The workers are not overwhelmed and tired on a slow day. The staff are so nice and kind. They play hip and trendy music while you are waiting. The price? You cannot beat it! I'm sold into doing the membership my next trip there, it just makes sense. Once you are done with the machine wash, you pull up to the section where you get out and they take over. Just try to remove all your valuables and personal items. I went grocery shopping and told them not to open the trunk and they were cool with that. Easy! Make sure you tip these guys. If you know you are going here? Make sure you have some cash so you can look out for them. They do a great job and it's not easy. I seen someone else's car and it was nasty! So just imagine what they have to deal with. Show some compassion. Thank you guys for making my car wash experience so pleasant.

Unacceptable experience at Germantown auto spa Paid $29 for a car wash, but the result was disappointing. Despite speaking with the supervisor twice, the issues weren't resolved. My 2-year-old car still looks bad from the outside (see attached pictures). Clearly, they're not meeting their standards. Wouldn't recommend."

Water spots still left after the waxed it etc

The low reviews aren't lying. I had a coupon for a free wash. I upgraded to the middle package. Just to see how they clean. I've been to Fredrick location and they do great job. The wash was ok, the dryer didn't dry my car fully. When I pulled into the vacuuming area, I noticed, my car was had spots from the wash. I started to take pictures. All the sudden I hear a female yelling? Come to find out, she was at yelling me. Blonde female. Yelling asking who I'm I taking pics of? First of all, she could of walked up to me and ask me. Of course, I am taking pictures of my dirty car, because they did an awful job. The employees did a HORRIBLE job in cleaning and vacuuming. My car still had sand on the backseat. Its like they barely did anything. My consoles were dirty. When I pointed out the flaws, they acted like they didn't understand. Ok no problem. I am bilingual in Spanish. So I told them. Young guy was like sorry, we did our best. I asked (nicely) for them to clean it a 3rd time. . They still didn't do anything speculator. It seems this location, solely focused on sales and quantity, and not quality. The employees like to catch an attitude if you call them out on their bad work. They definitely need to work on professionalism and this location and take some pointers from their Gambrills, and Fredrick locations. What they are good at: is taking your money. 0 stars if I could.

Awful service, we paid for platinum service expecting to have a decent clean. They didn't clean inside, no vacuum, didn't clean inside. The people were there just talking themselves. I tried to talk to the manager and she ignored me. We will never come back

Used to love this car wash but their services are getting worse which caused me to cancel the monthly. I came back this morning after three months to give them another chances but nothing changed.

Rear window after their $39 wash.  Not clean!

See all

For the price of the least one, they let your car dry by itself not even using a towel or offering you one!

Ask the Community - Germantown Auto Spa

Do windows get cleaned (interior) with super express wash?

I want to say no. With the lower priced (exterior) packages, there is no cleaning of the inside of the vehicle, at all.

It's about $75, but it's worth every penny--especially for parents. As a baseball mom, I'm constantly dealing with mud and crumbs. They steam clean the interior, wipe everything down, and even found 'treasures' (hidden candy!) under the seats. They are incredibly thorough and bag up all loose items from the trunk and cabin. ​The Wait: It takes about 30 minutes, but they have a great waiting area with coffee and water. I recommend going early to beat the rush. I'll definitely be a repeat customer!

Every time I have used this place for the last few months my rims are still dirty and the car isn't clean. I bumped up to gold a couple months ago to see if that would help and it was a waste of money. The last three times they only sprayed half the car as I entered and no tire shine. Today there was one or two cars in line. I got into the car wash and half the car was sprayed. Got home and the front is still dirty and the tires are dry. Business partner went right after me and showed up at my house to drop something off and his rims were dirty and no shine as well. He is canceling also. Trust me, go elsewhere.

Jeff was an outstanding sales rep. From the time I called on Monday evening until he dropped my car…read moreoff on Tuesday night he provided nothing but the highest level of customer service I have been privy to in a very long time. He answered my seemingly incessant questions about the car and how a lease works. He not only answered my questions i a timely manner, he was willing to text and chat until I was content. When I found a road block he worked with me to get through it. Not only an amicable solution, he found a better car under my required monthly payment with more features than I anticipated. On Tuesday morning he came to pick me up at my store in Falls Church, VA (The Gun Dude) and drove me to Germantown, MD (because they don't sell electric Smart cars in Virginia) 45 minutes later. The conversation on the way to the store was stimulating and his energy was evident. At the car dealer he was very attentive to my every need. He offered coffee and water and served it to me not seconds after I was through the door. We even spent a few minutes learning how to install the panels on one of the model Smart cars. I took my new car (my first new car ever) for a test drive and was more than pleased with the product. Upon return we completed the papers, during which he very patiently answered every question I had about the contracts, and when he did not know the answer he said as much...and then went to find the answer!!!!! I wish this guy worked for me, seriously. Once the lease paperwork was complete he walked me through the features of my new car and plugged it in for a full charge before I left. The charge took longer than expected so he gave me a loaner car to get lunch. While at lunch he realized the charge and detailing would take a bit longer than we anticipated so he gave me the loaner so I could get back to my business. He then drove my car to me (a 45 minute drive) and picked up the lender car at about 7pm. I highly recommend this Smart Center in Germantown and I strongly recommend you ask for Jeff if you want the best car buying experience of your life!!!

Usually the car buying experience is a hassle, thoughts of shady car salesmen and endless haggling…read moretend to emerge. However, leasing a brand new Smart car from the manager, Jeff Greben, has been the easiest and most pleasant interaction I have had. Jeff explained every question I had about the car and the whole leasing process in general in an extremely courteous and professional manner. I have never seen a sales person so knowledgeable about what they were selling before in my life. I will most definitely return to Jeff in the future to get another car, whether it's a Smart car and or a Mercedes-Benz. I highly recommend getting a car from Jeff if you want to leave the dealership with a smile, knowing that you made the right decision about your purchase.

They frequently offer online promotions, which makes it easy to get all of my cars detailed at once--or just one if that's all I need. Scheduling is simple through their website, and they follow up with a human confirmation (or you can easily call to book by phone). Communication is always clear and professional. Most recently, Thomas detailed my Mini after a long family road trip, and it looks brand new! I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you to the entire Sharp Detail team for consistently delivering top-notch service! :)

He was flexible while trying to figure out where to park my car to work around the movers I also had at the house. He put so much effort into my detail, the car looked brand new! And it had never been detailed before and had lugged around 2 toddlers and a dog for the past 4 years so you know he had his work cut out for him! Professional, kind, and just overall made the whole process of moving and getting ready to ship my car a little less stressful with a job well done. Highly recommend requesting him! Regarding Sharp in general, booking online was easy with a lot of availability! My only comment is that I didn't get any kind of confirmation at the time of booking which made me nervous, but I called and they quickly confirmed my appointment. Their standard is to confirm the appt two days before via text, which they did! Just something to be aware of!
