    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."

    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.

    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

    Rear window after their $39 wash.  Not clean!

    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.

    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.

    Wow!! Like the only previous reviewer, I accidentally stumbled across this company and I am so glad…read moreI did! I needed a detailing FAST on my Suburban (Big Red) as I have to make a last minute trip to Alabama next week to help out after our first grandson is born. Knowing that my still unborn grandson (and his Mom's side of the family) probably wouldn't appreciate all the dog hair and random crap strewn about my vehicle, I started messaging companies on Thursday. I probably would have went for a company that had more than one review if it had not been for the fact that the ONLY person who got back to me was Manuel from New Finish. (**Note to company owners - your business card and website says New Finish Detail, but your Yelp review says Express Detailers - you should definitely line those up, because if the rest of your customers have the same level of service that we just got, you will get TONS of good reviews!! I had to do some investigating to figure out where to do the review, but I was willing to do it because I was bound and determined to let you know how amazing our experience was!) So...anyway. Manuel lets me know on Friday that he would like to book us for Sunday - SCORE! The ONLY other company who got back to me was telling me they could only book me 2+ weeks out, which meant either I had to clean my own car whilst trying to pack for a cross country trip or, more likely, my newborn grandson was going to have to develop a very fast tolerance to dog hair and random crap. We set up an appointment for 1030, and at precisely 1028, and after a courtesy text at 1000, Alex shows up. He is both polite and professional and gets straight to work. The website says the service is 2 1/2 hours long, and I grumble to my husband at around 12:30 that it can't be TOO good in such a short amount of time, but 1:00 rolls around, and then 2, 3 and 4. Alex was here for SIX HOURS and did an AMAZING job. Like, I'm not kidding you, no sh*t, legitimately AMAZING job. My Suburban is a 2002 - she's no youngster, but she is definitely my baby. With that being said, she is NOT babied; 4 kids and 4 dogs have taken their toll. I have had her professionally detailed 4 other times - the first company was awesome, but I was disappointed to see that they didn't get out the stains on the headliner from when a Diet Coke froze and exploded over 10 years ago. The second, third and fourth detailings were....meh. Didn't even expect them to touch the headliner stains because the rest was so mediocre, and I stopped getting detailings after that. But today??? My husband went out to check Alex's work and pay him, and came back in and said, "Go look. Just go look." I was like, "Whatever. I'll get to it." Because it's a 2002 Suburban. How good can it look?? But I went out to put the floor mats back in, and Oh.My.Goodness. It was like the heavens had opened up and shone a ray of light directly onto our driveway. Big Red is gleaming like she hasn't since she was on the lot when we bought her in 2002, and probably more so. I opened the door, and to be honest, the first thing I saw was the well worn driver's armrest that I hadn't really noticed before because it kind of blended with the rest of the interior. But now?? The rest of it looks brand new, and I just made my husband order a new armrest because it is definitely bringing down the rest of the car. Every single nook and cranny is spotless!! I came inside from that first inspection GIDDY. It looked that good. And then I remembered the headliner. "Welp," I thought, "this is where it gets downgraded from amazing to awesome." So I went back out to Big Red to see if maybe Alex had been able to lighten even a few of the probably 75 exploding Diet Coke stains that had been there for over 10 years, and through 4 professional detailings. And guess what??? He got EVERY.SINGLE.STAIN.OUT. It's gone - all of it!!! I literally have NO complaints - my car looks perfect and brand new again!! (***Ok - if we're being honest, I have two complaints. The first is that there was a Yelp deal that I didn't see that would have saved us $75, but that's all on me. We'll use it when we have them come back out to see what they can do for Hubby's truck!) The second is that Alex used a clay bar to go over the entire vehicle. I don't exactly know what a clay bar does, but as far as I can tell, it makes any undamaged part of your car look like it's brand spanking new, which makes any previously unnoticed imperfection stand out. I think I can live with those newly discovered paint chips, though - pretty sure no one will be able to get a good look because the shine on the rest of my car will blind them.) Thanks guys - GREAT job!!

    Absolutely amazing customer service and detail car wash. Manuel is very responsive and offered to…read morecome earlier than my scheduled appointment. Took about 2 hours and his team had my baby looking brand new. Every inch of my car was cleaned, even the gas cap and trunk! You don't really see that attention to detail (no pun intended).
