    So bad... I had the gold interior and exterior a moment ago $37. They were done with my car in 6 minutes. The pics speak for themselves. It was like barely wiped down on the inside, my back mats were not taken out and the vacuuming job is crappy. Some of these stains are so obvious too. It just shows that they really don't give a crap. And sorry not sorry I don't tip for this type of work.

    Terrible car was! I got the basic so was expecting a spit shine..... but as vacuuming was included I did expect that. I go to get in and notice that the inside door was dirty and was going to move on. But then I noticed they never moved the rugs. They only vacuumed on top. Called the guy back over. He revacuums..... around it. Again I say what about under. This is when I noticed that the top of my car, whole trunk and under every door handle were still VERY dirty. The manger comes over and tells me it's my fault bc I don't ever get my car washed. (Pulls receipt from 6/14 from different place up). No sir. I'm pretty sure your team simply didn't wash my car. The manger then sprays the dirty parts again and tells me drive it back through the was. it's still dirty.

    At least 10 vehicles here on a Sunday.  Photo was deliberately taken without flash to prevent disclosure of license plate numbers

    Island Car Wash is quite popular. I see at least 10 cars, SUVs and pick up trucks here on a Sunday morning at about 10 am. While I was driving here, I saw only one vehicle at a nearby competitor, the Centerreach Car Wash. Staff at Island Car Wash wash vehicles inside and out. I got the $37 Silver Full Service package. That includes wax applied while driving through the tunnel, according to Elizabeth the informative and friendly cashier. There is a points program, where customers earn a point per dollar spent. 400 points entitles participants to the highest free full service package, which is the $47 Platinum Package. Platinum is the only package that cleans mats, shines tires and applies air fresheners. Vehicle owners are permitted to use a portion of accumulated points to get a discount. Elizabeth told me that now that I have 150 points, I can get $12 off my next wash. Patrons can sign up for a $19 monthly pass for an exterior wash only. There are "Early Bird" and "Night Owl" packages that range from "$7 to "$10", depending on whether you get an "Exterior", "Wax Package", or "Wash, Wax, Wheel Package". Debit card users may withdraw money cash from the Point of Sale terminal at the time of payment. Many times, I do have to get behind the workers who miss spots. For example, right now as I leave the wash, I see the same stain on my dashboard that was there before the wash. My NAV screen still has my fingerprints on it. Part of my steering wheel looks like no cloth ever touched it. I have to drive back to have the staff clean the missed spots, which I could remove them myself, but I paid too much Gosh Darn money to do so. Tip: If you are a regular here like I am, write down the names of the staff who are notoriously thorough, and make sure you ask for them to clean your vehicle. Because I must habitually get behind some staff to clean missed spots, I am giving Island Car Wash two stars. Note: When I went back, I complained to Elizabeth, who then walked on over to Sal the manager. After I showed Sal all the dirty spots, he reluctantly directed a worker to clean only the missed spots that I showed him. He explained that his staff cannot possibly get every dirty spot. I do have some scratches on the driver's door. I wonder if it came from this car wash. I did not take photos of the door before I entered the wash, so I cannot prove that they did it. So there I am not sure if I want to return here. I am looking elsewhere. Perhaps I should in the meantime put on my Mom's jeans and clean my Hyundai Kona in my own driveway my darn self! I'd save some time, lots of money and quite a bit of trouble.

    Scratched instrument cluster

    I'm not the pickiest person at a car wash but for $40 this place does a pretty crappy job. Still dust all over the dash, coffee drip marks still around the cup holders and they scratched my instrument cluster.

    Armor all sprayed all over my fenders leaving spots. The dash board wasn't cleaned dust was still there. The back gate on the jeep wasn't wiped down. The Mats looked like they were sprayed but not wiped or cleaned. Overall, awful experience. $53 was not even close to worth it.

    I paid 50 dollars for a platinum full service and my car still look dirty They did not clean the window well the dashboard was still with dust and didn't if bother whipping down the dashboard I was very disappointed on wasting so much money I would not be coming back again if I could give a zero I would

    The vacuum hose nozzle came off in my hand. Had been wrapped and rewrapped with duct tape. Couldn't reconnect. Sorry, next guy.

    They should really train their staff to be nicer. Left due to unfriendly staff at the front.

    The System is good and honestly the Towel drying is good after the car exits the tunnel.

    This is a new review for this car wash for me. My last review several years ago was positive. This…read moreone is not positive. On Saturday I brought my wife's car in for an exterior wash. As we're going through the tunnel I noticed the brush on the drivers side is not working, just hanging there like a wet noodle. I mentioned it to the guy at the end of the tunnel but he just shrugged his shoulders. Next stop the guy to dry the car and polish the tires. Well the put a lot of effort into pretending to polish the tires. Sunday morning I take my car in for the same wash. Brush is still not working. So I mention it to the guy drying my car. He says oh yea I heard that. I guess there's no plan to fix it. I noticed that the mirror that's not getting brushed is filthy. The dryer guy doesn't seem to care, why should he. Next he puts a dirty rag on my windshield while pretending to polish my tires which left a big smudge. I ask him to clean it and he looks me like I have a lot of nerve. So let's get down to the nitty gritty. In my business I'm very familiar with this type of business. They're known as "cash cows ". That's right stand a couple of monkeys outside and just collect the money. Well what I typically see is when a business starts having financial problems they stop maintaining the equipment. Could this be the case? You decide for yourself. I've already decided and I'm not going back.

    A month ago I went there , stood in line for about 20 minutes, they were having mechanical problems…read morewith the belt. They finally closed the car wash and said to bring your receipt in the next time and you will get your car wash, because I had already paid. Meanwhile, I went to another car wash. I go there today, a month later, to get my car wash, present my receipt, and the first guy who worked there said " oh this is a month old, you can't use this". I explained to him there was no time limit on this and that I don't get my car washed every 2 weeks. The 2 nd guy said he's never seen this kind of "situation ". I asked for the manager. I waited 10 minutes, then asked for him again. They kept on telling me he was coming. Waited..... Here comes a man walking angrily to my car, annoyed. He states that this scenario never happened at his car wash because the workers would never do thst. He said They would give peoples money back. He treated me like I was lying about this. He said many times that this did not happen at his car wash, He was very aggressive. Meanwhile, a month ago there was a whole line of cars that left with their receipts and no money back. He was arrogant, aggressive, and was trying to intimidate me. I am a small 50 year old nurse, who was wearing scrubs and not being completely calm. Then he said, that he was going to watch the video footage and then immediately fire whoever did this. It was so ridiculous. For a $40 car wash. Needless to say that he was so belligerent, I did not even want him washing my car. I will never go there again.

    Holy cluster muck Batman!…read more When your car leaves the hand wash section, they make a hard left turn with your car and dry it on the side of the building. Today was an usually warm day and everyone wanted their cars cleaned. It was a mad house trying to get in as well as trying to drive out after your car was finished. I'm knocking off a star for that move. Other than they couldn't handle too many cars, the folks do work really hard here. I brought my SUV here and the place is a hand washed car wash. I'm saying, how will they get the high roof?? Easy peasy, they had a ladder the guy hustled up on, and brushed it. I thought that was kinda kool. All in all, its a pretty good car wash for Centereach.

    Sorry Middle Country Autospa you only get a 3 from me. I appreciate the Groupon deal that's going…read moreon right now and that's why I've been coming to you. BUT once I use my groupons up I will be heading back to my normal car wash spot because they do so much better than you and take more pride in what they do. This place is decent, they offer rain insurance with the higher price washes but the guys get a little too lax at times for my liking. I mean if you don't have a groupon you could be paying almost $27 for smudgy windows and filth on your back bumper that was there before you get your car washed (it's happened to me). C'mon! My usual spot is usually $22 before tip and my car looks like it just came out of the showroom. Also heads up there is no shade to sit in here while they dry your car so your left standing/sitting there to roast. I also don't understand why they like to leave your car idling with the AC on full blast when they are drying the outside of your car. Get the groupons if you want reasonable washes otherwise goto Holbrook Car Wash on Vets and get a phenomenal washing & cleaning!
