    This place is awesome! They cleaned our car so well, interior was detail nice & for a steal of a price. They were efficient and detail oriented.

    Love this place - get here early on the weekends, if you can, because you'll wait. They only take cash but have an ATM if you're not prepared. They always do such a great job cleaning my car and detailing it - including using compressed air to dry the crevices and get the dust out. Thanks again for a great wash!

    !!! DO NOT COME !!! Terrible experience with this shitty "car wash" I brought there my brand new car and they ruined paint on it! Glossy paint coat is completely covered with swirl scratches! Same thing with door pillars, it's all over in scratches. Manager told me that it's ok :) So damaging paint on your car is normal for this place. Completely unprofessional stuff and manager!!! They don't know how to take care of your car, they just need your money! They using dirt towels, they not wash car properly before wipe it. So never bring your baby here!!! Don't make my mistake! This spot is only for junk, rusty cars under $900 Just crap!!!

    They broke it! And denied it! Horrible people!

    Experience: This will be my third visit to this location. I usually come here in the morning to beat the rush, but due to time restraints I had to come around 3pm. Regardless the line does not seem to be too long, so it was not a problem. Parking: If for some reason you are looking for parking, there is free street parking in front. It does not seem too difficult to find a spot. Worth: I usually receive the regular wash and I have no complaints. I think it's worth the money. If you are looking for a decent hand car wash, this would be the place. I never use those cheap car wash where it is a machine and possible get your car scratched. At least hear, you know your car will be taken care of. They have decent seating area with a couple of couches. You just have to wait till someone tells you your car is ready.

    I've been coming to this place for years, when they were Ritz in Chicago ave. This place has a good system down and has you in and out of there within 10-15mins. Once they're done they'll come into the waiting room and call your car and have you pay. CASH ONLY. If you don't have cash there is an ATM in there. Then they will walk you out to your car. When they're real busy I'll make sure I do a quick walk around in case they missed a spot. Majority of the time the car is cleaned and dried well and I love that they use the air compressor to blow out the excess water from behind the side mirrors and around the trunk. The employees have always been very nice and courteous. As long as I'm in the neighborhood this will be my go to car wash! Not crazy about the fact that they raised their prices! I'll be sure to always do my walk around... just in case.

    Scratched up Door Pillars

    Ruined my car. If you are worried about getting scratches and swirls DO NOT come here. They didn't have a proper presoak and rinse approach. Didn't rinse post the first soak. Used dirty mitts that weren't washed between cars and just scrubbed all the dirt and scratched up the clear coat on my brand new car. Just terrible. All my doors black gloss pillars have tons of new very noticeable big swirls now. The last few weeks walking up to the doors would really enjoy the fact they were so clear in comparison to my previous car. Although it's inevitable that you will get swirls on your car over time, getting a new car washed here was a huge mistake. To top it off wasn't a good job overall. Streaks and stains throughout.

    So, I used to go to this car wash place for a while. But then they started charging whatever they felt like. They seem to have no clue about different types of cars. They used to charge me $20 for my BMW i3, but then all of a sudden they increased it to $25. When I asked why, the guy said my car is a mini SUV. But it's a sedan, so that didn't make sense. I don't mind pay more but charge right for everyone.

    The best car wash I've been too yet. They made the interior look like it's brand new, straight out of the dealership. My exterior was spotless

    I've given this place multiple chances because it's conveniently located and, judging by the…read moreconstant line of cars, clearly popular. But at this point, I can't justify going back. The core issue isn't just that there's always a line--it's that the line is chaos. There's no clear system, no active management, and no sense that anyone is responsible for keeping things orderly. Cars cut in front of each other, people inch forward aggressively to claim space, and what should be a straightforward wait turns into a stressful, almost competitive experience. I've seen more than a few tense exchanges between customers, and it completely undermines what should be a routine errand. To be fair, the staff seem young and well-intentioned. They're not disengaged or rude. But they also don't appear trained or empowered to manage the flow of traffic or address the disorder. When things back up--which is often--there's no visible effort to step in and create structure. It feels like everyone is just reacting rather than running an actual system. And then there's the wash itself, which is... fine. Not terrible, but certainly not worth the time, frustration, and unpredictability of the experience leading up to it. For a place that clearly has high demand, you'd expect a more polished operation and a better end result. What's most frustrating is that this feels fixable. A clearly defined queue, active line management, and some basic customer flow discipline would go a long way. Instead, it's left to chance--and the result is a place that feels stressful and, frankly, unpleasant to visit. There are too many other options out there to justify dealing with this level of disorganization.

Upon entering, I noticed that the place and equipment looked a little run down, and only 1 of the 2 touchless stations were open, but there was a already cleaning in progress, which was a good sign. After a short wait, someone came out to ask which wash I wanted, ranging from $4 to $10, took my cash (no credit cards), explained I need to roll in between the tracks until my front tire hit a bump until I saw the "Stop" light. About halfway in, my car was already getting sprayed with a foaming substance so I could barely see. Once fully stopped, I was nervous, because the equipment got a lot closer to my car than the ones I'd previous used, however that probably helped in getting all the grime off. I went for the full treatment with wax, and it took a few more minutes to dry clear after the actual wash was done, but I was very happy with the results.
