tl;dr - be prepared to wait, bring cash but it's worth it I couldn't remember the last time I actually washed my car much less detailed it. My kid got juice on the car seats, there were other unidentified stains and crumbs everywhere. It was to the point where I didn't even want to drive it anymore. I first came about 4 pm on a Friday and the place was packed. It was kind of confusing so I just got out of my car and looked for someone. A guy came over (don't know his name) who quoted me for a full detail and the price was excellent. However, the owner also came up and said he couldn't fit me in that day but if I came back the next morning around when they opened, he'd take care of me. It was fine because I didn't have cash as Yelp said they take credit cards (they don't). So I came back. And the two men remembered me and hooked it up. I waited for about two hours. They have a little seating area and I just sat there with my coffee and my earbuds. My car, which is seven years old, looked brand new. I don't even know how they got all the stuff out of those seats. I was pretty amazed how they kept track of things. Most other people I saw were there for the regular detailing which is only $30. The owner thanked me for waiting and told me to come more often so it wouldn't take so long lol. I also tipped them over 20% because their prices are so awesome compared to other places that I still think they undercharged. I spoke to them in Spanish but they speak English as well. read more

They do a great job washing cars here for a very reasonable price. Although it does take a while this place does the best work. The owner is extremely friendly and will check to make sure each car is spotless before handing the keys back. Can't beat the prices here! I would recommend leaving your car and coming back bc it does take a while. read more

Great car wash, fair pricing. An open air car wash, with shade for both you and your vehicle. Pricing is fair, I go here when my car is really dirty; Like when I got stuck in sand so I had sand in every possible place you can think of. Or when I came back from a MESSY camping trip. I was taken care of for a great price. Be reminded that this is a cash only place, so either have it on hand or be able to walk across to the gas station and use the ATM. Other than that, just be patient and the results will not disappoint you! read more

Very thorough detailing. The owner Elmer takes great pride and is very friendly. This place is tricky to find, tucked behind an Exxon Mobil station. Note that wait times are long and there is no indoor seating. So be prepared. I strolled through the neighboring halal grocery market and grabbed some Salvadoran food inside the grungy gas station next door. read more

I would give this place 4.5 stars if I could. Back story.. washing my car has been on my to do list every since I go it.. almost 10 months ago..I know I know, I'm the worst!! BUT I'm so glad that I found this place. Which actually brings me to my first point..when trying to find this place I never actually saw a sign, but if you pull into the Exxon gas station to the right you'll see a bunch of shiny cars and hard workers cleaning them down. Not sure if I just got lucky but I only had to wait 45 Mins max versus the 2 hours other reviewers reported, for reference I came around 3:30 pm on a Friday afternoon..maybe everyone's hiding because it's Friday the 13th ‍‍ As soon as I pulled in the owner introduced himself and said he's do his best to get me out quickly and he did!There's a small seating area outside, 5 chairs with a large fan. Normally I would not enjoy sitting outside in 100 degree weather but the sitting area is perfectly located between the fan and the rare breeze that Texas has to offer and makes for quite a comfortable sitting area. But don't expect anything like your car dealership. On to the car wash- it is very clear that everyone at this establishment is working away vigorously at cleaning cars to a sparkle. They are thorough and meticulous and my car was legitimately shining..I can't believe I waited this long to bring my car here! I will say they missed a few spots inside the car..but the owner instantly noted them and cleaned them himself. When I got home I noticed some more spots on the outside of the car that I was able to rub off with my finger, so not sure how they were missed. I'm 100% sure if I had noticed them earlier the owner would have fixed all the spots. All in all for $20 this place is amazing! If you're looking for great, local service you need to come here. Being able to find local gems like this is why I love being a yelper. I would say the way that they could improve is by doing a double check of the outside and inside of cars by the employees to make sure they don't miss any spots. As stated earlier I found a few spots on my car that could have been cleaned a little better but I would 100% come back. Also the owner does double checks on the cars and I'm sure if you were to find a spot he would fix it right away! I'll definitely be back..but promise I won't wait another 10 months to wash my car. read more

Stopped by this morning and it was already pretty busy. I wasn't sure if I wanted wait, but Elmer says they just opened another location, its about 15 minutes away and it wasn't busy. I went and I'm glad I did. It was worth it. The guys there did a super job and they were very nice. By the time they were done, cars were rolling in. I would go again.

This is by far one of the best hands car wash detailing center in the greater Houston area. The owner Elmer and his crew takes pride in washing, cleaning, vacuuming and detailing my vehicle at affordable prices. I am glad I look this place up on Yelp! Thank you Yelp reviewers! read more

This is...let me repeat....THIS IS THE BEST CARWASH IVE BEEN TO IN HOUSTON! The amount of detail they put into my wash was astounding! I have to go to war with most car washers because they barely clean the inside of my car. But this place wiped my seats down, cleaned AND SHINED my mats, cleaned my console!! Okay....you hear me?? I mean my car looked brand new. I found absolutely nothing that they had missed and thats never happened!! Never been so happy about my car being washed. Im MOST DEFINITELY going back. Probably once a week!!! read more

Hands Car Wash - Auto Detailing Near Me - Richmond , Texas

I've been meaning to write this for a couple months now & just getting to it but I LOVE THIS PLACE. I have a Tundra & it's a bit lifted so when I got it I didn't want to take it to a regular car wash where you have to stick it with a machine so I decided to look for a hand car wash place close to home & I found this place! What I love: - the owner himself is there washing cars - staff has been friendly & they all work very hard - I'm a girl who wears lots of makeup & since the very first time I took it & told them to make sure to get those spots, & I haven't had to tell them again. They remember every time & they're gone when I get back in. - stays shiny inside & out for a while after. Only dislikes I can find: - the wait. This place is good & prices are even better so it's expected that they'll have tons of business. I'm lucky enough to be able to leave my truck for a few hours but most can't & they have enough staff to keep it going all day long. - everything becomes a little slippery ( but it's not really a dislike. I'm actually okay with that because I know it's clean) Hope that helps! read more

Not sure if this is an actual business. Call the number listed three times, no voicemail set up, no answer. I showed up at 8 AM which is the time most carwashes open on Friday and Saturday to find a guy wearing shorts but no shirt sitting on a cooler hunched over & asleep who would not respond to my saying hello, excuse me, hello, hello!!! Very loudly. There was no phone number or contact information at the place, no website no work hours posted. So really it's it's hard to say whether this place does a good job or not but they don't seem like a place I would want to trust my vehicles with. I live near by so if I see that it's open I will stop by and speak to whoever is there and update this review if necessary. Really having posted hours of business would have avoided this review and me wasting my time to drive over. read more

Agree with what everyone else has said so far! Great work, very fair prices. I got a BMW cleaned (outside wash, rubber mats cleaned, deep vacuuming, leather conditioning, interior wipe down). I was given the option to leave my car and was called when it was ready so I didn't mind whatever the wait time was (1-2 hours). Be mindful, they're cash only so come prepared. read more

They do a great and thorough job on all my cars. So glad I found them on yelp :) Reasonably price and they had 4 people working on it, the owner is super nice too. I did find that they missed a few spots but showed it to them and they cleaned it with no problem. Definitely be back. read more

Why You Should Visit: their attention to detail is outstanding. They went in and cleaned every nook and cranny. My car looked like it was brand new when they were done. Why You Might Hesitate: Expect to be there at least two hours because they take their time. Also, it's a hole in the wall, so it looks kind of rough and some of their employees looked like they've done time. But don't judge a book by its cover. I was happy with their service. read more

I started taken my cars to them in 2014, and I have always had high praise of their servive

Outstanding job with reasonable pricing. The attention to detail is like no other. Been to 7 car washers in Houston and Sugar Land based on good reviews, paid alot more and got much less quality in other places. The owner of this place is hands on and checks each car before allowing it to be called done. The place doesn't look much, but don't let that turn you off, these guys are definitely the best I've been to so far. I am not going to look anymore, this is where I'm taking my car from now on. read more

SUPPORT YOUR LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESSES. Great service for a reasonable price. I had my dog with me and no one gave me a hard time when I sat with everyone else outside - which I deeply appreciate. Everyone there was an extremely hard worker. I highly recommend coming here!! Disclaimer: there was a bit of wait due to popularity. I'm a patient person so the wait wasn't long enough to be bothersome. read more

Went here to get the car cleaned out today and they made it look like it was brand new! The wait was not really long for us which was nice and the workers were super nice and definitely hustled to get it out as fast as they could. read more

Great people who take pride in their work. It's rare to find people who treat everyone with such kindness and respect, and the fact that they do an outstanding job on my truck, even with all the dog hair, is just a bonus. I recommend this establishment to everyone reading. This is the place to take your vehicle ASAP!! read more

Worst experience ever. After readings positive reviews I decided to drive from downtown to this location to get my car detailed. I went to the car wash the first time in the afternoon and the owner told me it would be better to drop it off the next day around 9 am because detail cleaning takes up to 3 hours. So the next day I arrange for a friend to meet me at the car wash to offer me a ride back home so I wouldn't just be able airing around for 3 hours. They took my number, said they would call when car was ready. By noon I hadn't heard from them so I texted the owner and asked if my vehicle was ready to be picked up to which he said he would check than stop responding to my texts. My friend offered me another ride to pick up my car and mind you that I live 30 minutes away which was very generous. When we arrived my car not even touched! It was still sitting there dirty after leaving it with them for nearly 5 hours. Long story short. I left again, got another ride back! Had to pay $60 to Uber back to pick up the car around 7 pm! When I got there I was not impressed- there was still streaks of dirt all over the exterior, the anterior was not spotless as they promised. After paying $80 for cleaning +$60+ all the inconveniences I had to go through I would not recommend this place. I rather pay a little more than go through this experience again. Needless to say I won't be returning. read more

They never disappoint! Always an amazing job and everyone's so friendly. I have a tough car to clean(black on black), but I leave with my car looking brand-new. Thanks! read more

Saw the great reviews and decided to give this place a try. Elmer was super friendly and was able to get the cigarette smell out of my girlfriends car for a very reasonable price. I had to leave the car here for a couple of hours but that's because he had to run the heater for awhile after he sprayed the interior down with odor eliminator. Don't let the exterior fool you! This place has some hard working people and I would not hesitate to bring my car back here! read more

Very Very poor Customer Service, He Promise us to visit our office for Car wash on 10 July 2019 but he never came. we contact "elmer" for his schedule each time he said he will come tomorrow but never appears and wasted our time for more than Seven Days. Finally, we started searching new company. Very very disappointed, poor customer service, no value of time. no respect for others. read more

They did an exceptional job, my car was. Only washed but they did a beautiful job dressing all the black plastic trim. Great work folks!

The owner is approachable, calm, friendly, cares about his customers. And guess what? He is working side by side with his boys! And, their quality of work is on par with detailing for next to nothing on price. Bring cash. As for my car? It had not had a car wash in 6 months! Do you know how bad it must have looked?! Now, it's as if it just rolled off the lot. lol Note, this is not a air conditioned brick and mortar place. So, if you have children come early and charge your phone to keep yourself entertained while you wait. read more

I brought my mom's car here to get detailed and was impressed with great service from hard working people. Side note- my mother is a nanny of a 6 year old girl and the grandma of a 5 year old boy, and if you have kids or a nephew like I, you know kids are super messy and filthy little creatures. Also, my mom is a serial coffee spiller. So after 2 years of this kind of abuse, I hoped in her car to make a fast food run and couldn't believe my eyes at this once perfect car. I immediately looked up places to get it detailed and this was the closest to her home. Also, the prices were lower than what I usually pay at the place I detail my own car. We dropped it off and 3 hours later I was amazed at what they were able to do. Some of the stains of grape juice and coffee being probably 2 years old were gone and it was a Christmas day miracle. The owner himself was not completely satisfied with the results and asked us to bring it back the next day so that they could reshampoo everything (a second time(for free)). It looked AMAZING to me but this guy is obviously a perfectionist. He also cleaned my mothers engine without us even asking! Super nice guy with great work ethic who goes above and beyond for his customers. I love supporting small family businesses so I will be forcing my mother to bring her car here once a month from now on. read more

Surprised I've never been here since I live so close. Elmer and his crew did a great job on my SUV. I did the full package and I didn't mind the wait since they did put a lot of time and effort to make my vehicle really shine. Comfortable seating outside and fun guys to be around. I'll definitely be a regular at this spot. read more

The owner was very nice and apologetic for the wait. All the staff worked quickly. You can definitely miss it, as it faces Eldridge and not W. Belfort. Pros: -for a sedan or coupe, prices range from $15 to $25 dollars -it was very well cleaned Cons: -they missed quite a few spots -they need a larger drive way; it's a roller coaster getting finished cars out because they have to be backed out Would definitely go back read more

Extremely detail oriented has worth every penny. Highly recommend this place. Please tip generously - since they do all work by hand.

This is a hole in the wall car wash place that more folks need to know about. They truly work hard and do a great job of ensuring customer satisfaction. The owner was very attentive and his employees were truly working hard. They really are detail oriented and incredible value. My jeep came out looking brand new! read more

My friend suggested this place and OMG they did an amazing job at cleaning up my car at extremely affordable price!!!
