Impromptu visit after a snow storm while passing by. They have two separate lines. One for members and one for general customers. There were five people in front of me and I waited about 6 minutes. The attendant at the screen before pulling in was very sweet and freezing. The wash took less than two minutes. The $18 option included the under body and got the job done. read more

Glow Express Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

The issue I had a few weeks ago with being double charged was positively rectified by the manager Yasmeenah (?) today. She understood my concern and issue and as a courtesy she refunded the disputed charge and apologized for the miscommunication. I reactivated my account and we are all good! Thank you! read more

Hands-down, this is the best place to get your car wash. I go out of my way to make sure I can come to this location because they take care of me from beginning to end. They make sure that the value is worth my time and they also provide me with different membership options to make sure I'm getting the most bang out of my buck. read more

I needed to get my car super clean one last time before I POVd my vehicle for an overseas move. For anyone who has ever had to do this before, you know that the vehicle must be "white finger glove clean." Glow Express was recommended to me and I am so appreciative. The attendant was very nice and friendly. I chose the "Ultimate Wash," because I wanted every exterior nook and cranny thoroughly cleaned. I'd washed the car in VT before driving to NJ, but I knew that it would need that extra step. The attendant handed me a bag with a lint-free cloth, two interior wipes, and an air car freshener. All I can say is, wow! I do not get those things back home and I pay $25 to go through the machine. This was an awesome bonus. The wash itself was very thorough. I go to a similar place in VT and I felt this place's machines did a better job. There was a lot more sudsing and getting the bug junk off. I then wiped the car down with the amazing cloth (superior quality) and used the air pressure to push any bugs and debris in the from radiator out. The vacuum was also high powered and excellent. All equipment was clearly well maintained. I was there at 10am on a gray Monday morning and there were at least 6 other customers wiping down their vehicles and more coming. Clearly the negative reviews do not match the popularity of this place. If I lived in the area, I'd pay the $40/m for the unlimited Ultimate wash, but they also have unlimited basic washes for $20/m which is truly a great deal. So how did the POV white finger glove test go? It passed with flying colors, largely in part to this great car wash. read more

My favorite car wash. The service is always great. They are always so helpful. The memberships are affordable and they give you complimentary wipes and recently started giving air fresheners. It can get crowded but I usually go in the morning. I definitely recommend. read more

I am obsessed with my Tesla. So much so that I have it detailed 4x a year and believe me, the cost adds up. Looking to save, I finally gave in to the idea of putting my EV through a carwash. What I love about this one is that once it is washed, you park at one of the stations. They provide you with a brand new cloth to wipe down any excess wetness on the exterior of your vehicle. There are also two wipes for your interior. The cost is low because you have to do the work yourself. I have no problem with that, I'm getting a little exercise in at the same time. Lol. I think it's better than those wet clothes other places use where they keep using it again and again on multiple cars where they can scratch it up. I'm happy I gave this place a chance. The best part? No tipping is required. A car refresher is given as well. Free strong vacuuming hoses at each station. Now I will have my Tesla detailed 2x a year instead. read more

I love this place. Coming for years...and today's experience was like all the others. This time, Matt and Ivan were managing the pay kiosk and the entry. Both superbly mannered with smiley faces -- sadly, I don't see that from young folk any longer. (Times are tough -- not judging.) Great wash options and decent prices ($12.99 for a basic wash); but better yet, there are fantastic vacuuming facilities with forced air nozzles available for free for all customers. A 10 minute time limit is only imposed when necessary but is still plenty of time. Leave your quarters at home and bring the car for a proper Glow Up! read more

Too slow! Your card takers talk to customers, creating long lines. We want to go in and out!

Jon at Glow car wash is a total sweetheart. Very kind human which is a rare thing these days. Was very knowledgeable and patient in explaining the membership packages and I decided to sign up because of his outstanding customer service. It was such a pleasant experience I had to share. Promote this guy! read more

Terrible service. You pay $11 for a regular wash and have to vacuum your own car, do your own windows and dry the car with your own towels. For $5 you can go to a self service wash on Old Bridge and get the same result. Also if you believe in age discrimination in hiring, this place might be for you since they don't hire anyone over 40. Take your car elsewhere instead of supporting their practices against senior citizens. read more

Pretty standard car wash. They don't take Apple Pay or other contactless methods. I wish they had people that would help dry your car after.

I came out of the car wash with soap suds all over my car and the car was still dirty. I called the manager and left a message but did not hear back. I have used this car wash previously and did not have this problem. read more

They damaged my vehicle. Provided me with the videos that clearly show I arrived without the scratches and then got them after coming out. Now that I'm requesting their insurance information they are ghosting me. Do not go here to support their business. I would truly give ZERO stars if possible. read more

Got the $7 basic wash and my car looked a tad cleaner but quite streaky afterwards. The dirtiness of my car before the car wash was really not bad (had some salt on it and was not shiny). It did feel like the time going through the car wash was shorter than other places and the time for the water rinsing and drying was extremely short (maybe the reason for the excess streaking). Overall, not really satisfied with the basic car wash - for this level of washing, $7 is too much - maybe $3-$4 would be acceptable since they do give you a complimentary internal car wipe, which is nice. read more

Not an effective car wash. I paid $16 for the "Ultimate" wash. The soap was more colorful, but I still left with bird poop all over my car. Waste of money read more

This was my first time stopping at this location, and I can easily state I will gladly come back to give them further business. I must admit I feel a little conflicted giving them 5 stars because I didn't pay for my Ultimate Car Wash because I had a free B-Day Ultimate Wash coupon in their loyalty program app called Thanx. The manager on hand was very surprised about and asked me how I heard about it because no one else or very few other people have used said app. My car which was caked in disgusting salt and grime came out spiffy and new at the end of the track, and even if I had to pay regular price for the service I gladly would. read more

Glow Express Car Wash - Fresh and clean like it came right out of the showroom. - Car Wash Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I went to the Edison location twice in April and once in May. they charge me for tire dressing and every time I never get tire dressing on my vehicle. I go up to the attendant and he just has me do the wash again and the same thing happens no tire dressing. Why are they charging people for tire dressing and not putting it on the tires I just went again last weekend and the same thing. I am never going back there! read more

I wanted to try a new car wash place and I gave Glow Express a chance. I was just highly disappointed because my car came out the same as before. It just looked like rain happened over night where it gives your car a cleaner look from a distance but if you closely, it's still dirty like before. I wanted to try the more expensive wash but I needed to try the basic one before so I won't be as disappointed. I am glad i didn't pour more money into this. This is a self serve car wash, where there's a machine you can pick what you want and pay upfront. There was a guy to help me pay and handed me a free vacuum coin which was appreciated. But then afterwards someone else sprays your car before it goes into the machine. My car came out and there wasn't anyone wiping the car dry. Is this normal?? My car game out with pollen still stuck in the front and nothing was really cleaned. I am so disappointed in this place. It had looked new and very nice, I was going to get a monthly membership as well but I am glad I avoided that. read more

Quick car wash that includes interior wipes and vacuums. They used to give tokens with any wash for 5 minutes to use the vacuums but now it comes with every wash with unlimited time and they now have longer hoses. The wash itself is not very thorough but it is a fine quick option. read more

Only good thing about this place are the free vacuums. Other than that my car was still dirty after the car wash and even after paying extra for a tire cleaning shine and wax coating. Could barely tell any of that was done. read more

I went solely for the self service vacuums, $1 (4 quarters only, or token) for 5 mins, did the job! read more

Glow Express Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Couple of things: What a nice upgrade to what Used to be the lamest drabbest carwash around in an area with very few.. bright paint job, Clean clear signage that helps you know exactly where to drive,what gear to put it in, doesn't force you to abandon your car but instead drive thru for the show lol We only got the basic 7 buck wash, yet we still got the multi colored foamy array- and they hand you an interior wipe down towelette like your in a fancy restaurant with a hot cloth so your dash & radio & armrests get a sponge bath while your outside is shined up! Last, but definitely not least? Like a d-d-duh I left one of my floor mats by the vacuums grrr Next morning I called and although they hadn't found it? By afternoon they had pulled it out of the trash and cleaned it up for me to go pick up! Class act, all around read more

The best value nice people loved getting the monthly pass and visit every week. Love that vacuum is included and you can customize what you want if you don't want a package also. I went every week before I moved read more

Paid $16 for a car wash that left my car with artificial scratches and dirt on the top, and dirt on the sides. Would definitely recommend going anywhere else if you care about your vehicle. read more

They charged monthly fee without notifying me! I've moved out of state for several months and suddenly found out they have charged me monthly fee for 13 months! I've never purchased any membership with them last year! I called them but these bitches said I activated the membership by myself!!! Be aware about your credit card activity after using their service! I've already BBB them for a refund. If they don't refund, I will file a claim or find a lawyer against this company in the court and get my money back! read more

I use to like this car wash but i don't know what happened to them, lately my car has came out dirty just like the way it went in. I won't be going there anymore. Not to mention there vacuums use to be good as well now they barely suck up anything read more

I wish I could give it ZERO stars!!!!!!!!!This is the worst car wash I've ever been to. There is no one to make sure the car is properly cleaned because it's automatic you pay at the machine and drive yourself in. One you get out you have to dry and vacuum your car yourself because there is no one there and your car still comes out dirty. I paid $16.00 and the rear back of my truck was not even clean. The chrome at the sides of my car looked tarnished due to the cleaning fluids that they used. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Never Again!!!!!!!! read more

Friendly staff, swift and efficient wash. Basic wash is at $7, but you can get additions (like wax and polish) for &12- not bad! Or a $20 monthly wash pass. Each wash comes with a free vacuum token. Will come back! read more

Not a bad car wash. But don't expect to use their bathroom after spending $12.95 on an exterior car wash. I don't care how good the car wash and vacuums are, if you can't have the courtesy to let a customer take a leak after spending above average money, it's not the place for me. read more

Fast and easy SELF-SERVICE car wash! I stress self-service because I didn't realize this at first when I arrived. I usually prefer a more hands on car wash. But, I was very impressed - they say EXPRESS, they mean it! I purchased a $7 car wash to remove the salt and snow after a big snow storm. This was the basic car wash but you can purchase add-ons as you desire. A friendly man greeted me at the self-service station to help walk through the steps. The $7 car wash comes with a token for the self service vacuum machine (which I did not use because it was freezing cold). Before you enter, another friendly man hands you an interior wipe. The wash was a great deal for the price. I was in and out within 10 minutes. read more

A good value, and a good wash - but, the drying leaves abit to be desired. I pull out still dripping wet from top to bottom. My car is black, and having it dripping wet & air dry would have left water streaks all over it. So I had to manually get out to dry the entire car down. For some people, that might not matter to you. For me, it does matter and thankfully had some chamois in my trunk to dry the car off. read more

Very friendly guys that work here and are there to assist you with the drive up system they have to pick out a type of wash, a la carte items, etc. You even get 1 free token for the vacuums that lasts 5 minutes, and 1 wet wipe to clean the interior of your vehicle. The wash itself is nothing out of the ordinary to me, and I was not pleased that they don't dry your vehicle with a towel after the wash. I had a shitload of wet spots all over my car. Probably won't come back unless I have to. read more

Too expensive, don't clean inside of car or wipe down after wash. Not fair to employees

Very very clean place, new, good price! Staffs are friendly, and they are not trying to sell monthly membership at all. I tried the $16 wash, it did the purpose. Thinking about doing it once a month. Highly recommend whoever in this area, try it! read more

$1 for five minutes of vacuuming... took four times to vacuum out my car. The nozzle was pretty good for getting into corners. Sure, you can vacuum out your car at a gas station, but this car wash has colorful signs. Too bad all my chores aren't decorated this way. Maybe I could finally clean up that humongous pile of papers on the floor. It would've been nice if the vacuum were just a little bit more powerful-- I had to go over it several times in order to get it to suck up the dirt. It wasn't packed in or anything-- it was just loose gravel and things like that. It would also have been nice if the hose were a little bit longer-- I had to move my car to get to the back. Though that would probably make the suction even weaker, in which case nevermind. Overall no complaints. Maybe I will try the car wash some time. Next up, though, would be washing the rugs... read more

Another reviewer said that they didn't accept cash but the drive up is electronic and does indeed accept credit. There was a friendly attendant who walked up and helped her with our first experience. They definitely try to sell you on their monthly pass but it's not so overly pushy. Car was was decent, typical drive through experience. Fun for kids because they have led lights in the "waterfall" as you first drive in. A standard wash is $7 but the super wash is about $11...I don't know if there's really a difference since you would drive through the same exact drive through. Allegedly different products are used for the different wash but I just wouldn't know the difference. For the $7 base price I think it's fine. Personally I wouldn't get the $11 for what feels like a very similar service. Good wash, they give you a free vacuuming coin with every wash. read more

I thought that given how it was a newer looking place, and I paid for a higher package, that they would be able to leave my car looking clean. I still had some residue on my car left over, which in other places comes right off. I guess newer isn't better. The only good thing was 5 minutes for the vacuums, although I hoped that with a car wash I would receive more time free. read more

Friendly, competent, helpful staff wonderful outcome for my car First time washing my car ever(since April) was afraid to have it go through any car was machine, but this was a great experience and my car looks beautiful even the tires. Thanks read more

I would recommend them to anyone! Professional and keeps my baby shining. Don't listen to the little negative comments. Some people just has always something to say read more

Glow Express Car Wash - I would recommend them to anyone! Professional and keeps my classic shining!! - Car Wash Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

In the past, we had a monthly subscription to Glow Express, which we canceled because we didn't wash our car enough to make a sub worthwhile. The subscription was restarted without our authorization and we ended up paying for three months of car washes we did not use and could only get a refund for one of those months. In addition, we had to go to the location to get our paltry refund, because the customer service person was unable to help us over the phone. Beware of these people scamming you out of your money. read more
