I have tried almost every car wash in the Waukesha area and I get the best results at Jillys. Too pricey, but it is a good wash with a nice area to further detail your car. I really dislike the sales pressure their employees apply at the kiosk. I don't want a subscription. I know which wash I want and I know how to use the kiosk. They go beyond being helpful to being absolutely annoying, despite me politely telling them that I am good to go. read more

Wash cracked our windshield on 5/16. Filed claim with the employee onsite. Informed them I was concerned because I have seen numerous things online about them damaging vehicles and then refusing to take responsibility for repairs. Was told at the time not to worry that those people had existing damage when they entered. Monday 5/18 received a called from them to inform me they will not handle repairs because on their cameras "there looks like there might be something there when you entered" which is completely false. read more

I do not wash my car often. When I do this location is convenient. The high pressure sals has always annoyed me. The last time I was there the individual was particularly aggressive. I said no repeatedly. Then I was having trouble getting my card to work so he "helped me." I did not realize that he had signed me up for the monthly plan until I discovered the recurring charge on my credit card. I have contacted the company for a refund and am waiting to hear back. I will never go to Jilly's again. If you go to this location I highly recommend double-checking your credit card statements. read more

This location is disappointing, and I will never return. I was, WAS, a patron of this location since it opened. Over the past few years, this push for selling the subscription-style wash has become downright aggressive and rude. I've tolerated it in the past by politely telling the salesperson I wasn't interested, and that was the end of the conversation. Recently, I was told after declining the offer that it makes no "f***ing* sense why I don't sign up" and that "I should go somewhere else for a wash". Well, you have got your wish. read more

Horrible experience. Do not recommend! There are many options in the area to get your car washed. High pressure from staff to purchase monthly wash. Politely told the young woman no thank you more than 3 times. She got angry, called me rude and stamped away. Will not go back. Would give the business zero stars if I was able to. read more

Drivers side window and mirror still dirty and it looks like the back of my vehicle didn't get washed at all - very disappointing

High quality team. They've been trained well to give great service. Vacuum cleaners available after the wash, and they work great read more

Jilly's Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Pewaukee, Wisconsin

it was my first time at this location and i was greeted and helped in the friendliest way. unfortunately, i did lose something so valuable to me during this visit. let me tell you that this team is nothing short of amazing when it came to helping me find my necklace in the vacuum shoots. not only did they dig through the rubbish themselves with my husband, they also communicated with the closing crew to let me look again after hours. To the morning team, I am so sorry for not getting your names, to Aaron and his colleague, THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. this will be the only place we ever take our cars to get cleaned. read more

Mismanaged, automatic brushes scratched my car. Obviously the brushes need maintenance. Also, I was about 3 feet in back of the car directly in front of me. They jam people too close together and that could be problematic. If you don't want your car, scratched and destroyed, don't go to this car wash And it's not like I have a huge car, I have a Toyota Highlander, which is a regular size SUV read more

Customers are hassled by high pressure salespeople when you are waiting in line to pay. They want you to buy an unlimited pass. I said I was not interested three times, then he proceeded to be rude and ridicule me because he thinks I need to wash my car more often. It's not that good of a car wash anyway. They didn't even spray the back of my car at the beginning and it was still dirty when I left. They never seem to replace the towels for drying, they are always soaked. I guess you gotta get there when they open for the day. I'll find another place to wash my car. read more

The pros: Unlimited wash plans are convenient and can be a good value. Cons: Their brushes hold debris in them because workers aren't making sure the brushes are cleaned regularly. Paint gets chipped on hood of car from their brushes Glass on windshield gets scratched from debris. Vacuums rarely work really good Driers in the wash aren't always working the best when the heater goes out. I finally canceled my monthly membership after two years. My vehicle sustained enough damage. The gouge in my bumper from a piece of debris was enough. I have a scratch embedded in the glass of my windshield and multiple chips out of my hood. Let's not forget the swirls all over the vehicle of my black vehicle. The swirls would most likely happen anywhere. Save yourself the damage and go to any touch free car wash. read more

This location went above and beyond to help me out in a pinch! The guys were not only kind but eager to help. I cannot recommend this spot more! read more

Jilly's Lies! They were purchased by Jax Kar Wash and changed the Unlimited Wash program so it's NOT Unlimited. You are only allowed to wash your car twice per day and the second wash isn't even at the plan level you are paying for -- unless you're only paying for the lowest level. This is clear False Advertising and probably even a Bait-and-switch issue. Every other car wash I've looked at in SE Wisconsin that offers an "Unlimited" wash does so in good faith, but not Jilly's. They want you to think it's unlimited then strong-arm you when you complain it's not. I should add that when I complained, I was told they weren't doing anything wrong and that my wife and I were now banned for life - AND they didn't give us our money back because they said we got the value for the month. That happened on May 22nd, and since then they have changed their policy and it is unlimited again. But we are still banned. Don't do business with this company. read more

Jilly's Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Pewaukee, Wisconsin

I don't expect special treatment with the premium wash package, but I do expect the ability to go thru the fast pass lane without having to deal with attitude Laden, rude employees. I'm sorry you are required to manually process the wash when your scanning system fails to recognize my car. I've asked - multiple times - for a printed pass to be able to scan myself because this is a frequent problem for MANY of your customers I've spoken with. Please fix the problem with your license plate readers & teach your employees since basic customer service skills. The wash itself is always good. read more

I went to the new Jilly's car wash in Waukesha and I went there because I had a Facebook promotion that said I was going to get an everything wash. When I got there they said that the promotion was redeemed which it wasn't. It ended up being just a gimmick to get me there just to try selling me their products. The tactic is shady! read more

Not the best car wash. Prices are high, I expect my car to be clean and not still have dirt on it. Not the best but not the worst.

Today was a little different car wash experience. All the workers were inside the building not a lot of people interaction. Covid has everybody wearing masks and ruining the social aspect of doing business together. The staff did a good job washing my wheels getting my vehicle prepared for going through the car wash as usual the grinders and everything do a good jobI'm glad I got my car cleaned up ready for winter. read more

Avoid this carwash if you don't want to risk damage to your vehicle. It will not be taken care of by Jilly's, even if they are in the wrong. I went through with my 6 month old '22 Toyota Tundra. My dream vehicle that I spent many years working hard to get. During the wash, the brushes pulled part of the bumper from the frame (see photos). In turn, many of my vehicle's smart sensors started malfunctioning. I decided to contact Jon (the owner of Jilly's who's email is in other reviews here) to discuss potential remedies. Jon called me and was immediately defensive. He initially did not even take the time to understand the issue. Rather, he went on about how his car wash could never ever even possibly damage a vehicle unless there was something already wrong with them and insisted there must have been a previous issue with my brand new truck's bumper for the brushes in his carwash to do any sort of damage. He also said that he has never paid for damage to someone's vehicle from going through the carwash because it is impossible for it to be the carwash's fault. At the end of the conversation, he at least said he would look at the cameras to see if the damage was already there before I went through. I said great, if it was damaged before I went through we will know and I will get it taken care of myself. A few days later, he sends me a still shot from the cameras of my trucks bumper about to go through the carwash. The bumper is in perfect factory condition. See the photos for the text message along with it. I gave him a call and Jon agreed that there was not previous damage to the truck or the truck's bumper. I was ready to hear, "yeah, the carwash obviously damaged the back bumper and we'll make our own insurance claim or pay out of pocket for you to get your truck fixed". However, to my surprise, he says, "the gap in your back bumper is a bad design on Toyota and there is no way that this truck could go through my carwash without it pulling off your back bumper". He goes on, "this is clearly a dealership issue that should be covered by the dealer". His defense is that my new truck was built in a way that there was no possible way for the truck to go through the carwash without the bumper being pulled from the frame. Should be laughable, but it's really just sad. After just a few conversations with Jon, I can tell he is the type to never admit a wrongdoing even if he knows he's in the wrong. Especially if it could cost him a dime. He could of easily did the right thing by making an insurance claim or just paying for me to get it fixed at a body shop, but he didn't. I do realize that I probably signed something saying the carwash is not liable for any damage, but it still doesn't seem right. read more

Jilly's car wash is somehow connected to Jax car wash (no Jax in our area). I was reading the information on a recent receipt and noted that by registering my vehicle I qualified for some perks including a free birthday wash. So I attempted to register as directed. Unfortunately I had all kinds of problems with the site, so I contacted customer service and vented my disappointment with their website. The customer service representative was great, she got me registered, activated my perks, and I got my birthday wash. BTW, the Jilly's washes are probably the best in the area. I think prices are reasonable for services rendered. read more

Great car wash Hard working But discontinued armor all for detailing center. And raised prices? So only 4 stars from me. read more

Got the "Ultimate Wash" for $15. This includes a hand pre-wash. Admittedly it has been a while since I washed my car and thus it still had bug guts on it (this is the reason I bought the ultimate wash). Not only did it not remove the bugs but it didn't remove simple dirt. So I go back to the place and they offered me a free rewash but followed with a bunch of excuses including how they aren't set up for big removal in the winter. My frustration is, why are you going to simply do the same thing and expect a different result? I can go through the auto car washes at the local gas station for half the price and get this same quality, they will even probably let me go through the 2 or 3 times. But I went to you and paid twice as much expecting better service. Maybe I'll have to go back in the summer to get the bugs off of my car. Or maybe I'll go aomewher Pictures to follow. read more

The wash is okay but the vacuums, each and every time I go there which is about once a week, have hardly ANY suction. After my most recent visit today, I was told that I need to take off my luggage racks on my small SUV each time because "something happened last week with a luggage rack and the washing mechanism." That's my problem? Shouldn't carwashes be equipped to handle cars with luggage racks? It's no easy task to take off/put on the rack each week. I would suggest choosing another car wash. read more

Awesome people here ! They were all rocking it today , I drove by 3 times and it was crazy busy. Came in late tonight and they were still ready to help out. Car wash might be run by computers but Jilly's people are the real difference ! No place I saw to leave a tip . read more

They put scratches in my car. Their own video that they had showed no scratches before my car was washed. When i confronted owner the video was "accidentally' deleted. John the owner said it was impossible to prove that they did the damage. Bottom line is that if they damage your car they will scatter like rats. I will see them in court. read more

I have been an unlimited wash subscriber for 2 full years now. They were new and fresh and buttoned up. All the spray nozzles sprayed on our vehicles, suds and fancy colors were everywhere and when we pulled out there was very little additional cares needed to finish the job. Since then the quality has slowly gone down hill to the last couple weeks. Very often the gates don't open to let cars in especially in the unlimited wash aisle. Some of the kids doing the pre wash scrub care and do a good job, others just going through the motions. Very little soap suds (yesterday there were no suds and just water), no fancy colors, the spray nozzles were spraying and sputtering every which way and honestly only about half actually spray on our vehicles. The drying agents are regularly out as well because the post wash work has become an entire vehicle issue to beat the water spots after it dries. I understand this time of year for a car wash has to be difficult but there needs to be some sort of maintenance and supervision. All I ever see there are kids and they are obviously not paying attention. At least fill the soap barrels! We are probably going to get an unlimited package at one of the other wash places in the area. read more

Wrote a review months ago stating how no one at the Elm Grove location had replied to a letter I had written. I have since started going to Scrub-a-Dub. The wash there is actually better and the dry is MUCH better. You don't have to hand dry every square inch. They also offer coupons and other money saving promotions. My bad experience with Jilly's turned out to be a positive in the end. Mary F read more

After going to a different car wash, my car still had bugs that did not get to attend the funeral of their fellow friends down the drain. I was passing by and decided to try Jilly's. I'm so glad I did. I almost ran over the workers (sorry), I thought I was supposed to be in neutral, but they said park. After that stressful moment, they could have done a horrible job, but they went above and beyond. They really concentrated on the bugs to make sure they were finally laid to rest! I will return and I promise not to run over the employees. read more

I stopped by here for the first time on a Saturday and unfortunately for the first time their car wash was broken so all of the stations were closed. I was offered to use the vacuum and other cleaning supplies for free because of the inconvenience. I cannot speak for the car wash (exterior) itself, but the customer service and the interior tools were exceptional. I will go back to use the car wash at some point but my experience this far was very positive! read more

Wow what a great place! I drove farther to wash my car because the Jilly's on Bluemound was horrible! This Jilly's was wonderful, , very pleasant service, 3 very nice men made sure every speck of dirt & bug was off my car! I was so happy I looked for the tip jar! They restored my faith in customer service. Hats off to the crew working Wednesday June 2 (11:30-noon) read more

Purchased the super wash for $8.95 (lowest priced wash), about 1/2 of the car came out dirty at the end of the wash..I had to wash it myself when I got home. Disappointed.. read more

Jilly's Car Wash is pretty nice, a step above what you would find at Kwik Trip. They don't vacuum the car for you but there are free vacuums to use after the wash. A few guys pre-wash the car before hand, getting most of the bugs and treating the tires, rims etc. After that you pull forward, put the car in neutral and sit back and relax as your car is moved through what essentially seems like a dishwasher for cars, it's very cool. After the wash you can pull into a vacuum station and vacuum the car. There are semi dry towels for drying off whatever water wasn't dried by the huge blow driers at the end of the wash. Also there are some solutions available to finish your tires, dashboard etc. All in all very worth the money. read more

Awesome - best car wash ever. Towels provided and superb vacuumed and cleaning products galore.

I've been taking my vehicles to Jilly's since they opened and I liked the wash. My son recently took his car there and unfortunately the door handle was damaged. After the wash he went to use the vacuum and noticed that it was pulled from the door. He showed an employee and was told that they would have to review video to determine if the wash did it or not. He received a call a few days later and was told that they couldn't tell if the wash did it so they refused to pay for the damage. It was fine when he got into the car to go to the wash and damaged after the wash. They also told him that his vehicle was too old as well. His car doesn't have any rust and has been taken care of. Poor customer service. read more

They took my car last minute yesterday and they did a phenomenal job! I'm pregnant and needed the inside of my car cleaned to put in the baby's car seat but we own a husky who has been in the vehicle a TON. The hair removal was my biggest concern and they went above and beyond what I was expecting. My car looks brand new! Hands down I recommend this place & will continue coming here for a simple car wash to needing the inside cleaned as well! Thank you so much Jilly's! read more

I have been using Jilly's Car Wash for quite awhile now. I started using the Elm Grove location then Jilly's opened in Pewaukee where we live. I LOVE this car wash! We have been Unlimited Pass customers from the start. I'm very particular about caring for our cars and trust the system that Jilly's utilizes 100 percent. I have our cars washed here at least twice per week and have never had any damage or even a scratch on my car as a result. The staff is GREAT. I'm always greeted with a friendly smile even when the staff has cars lined up out of the parking area. They do a great job from start to finish. I love the free detailing areas for vacuuming and cleaning windows. I've used a lot of car washes over the years and hands down, Jilly's is the best. read more

Brian who manages Jilly's does an awesome job and hires great staff. Brian is always working hard whether in the store or checking on things at car wash along with making sure all garbage is switched out and vacuums unclogged. Thanks Brian and Germaine for keeping it at 100% read more

The Jilly's car wash in Elm Grove is so bad. It scratched my hood and side of the car. Even the window on the left side of the passenger in the back got scratched. How does that even happen? read more

Jilly's management is very unprofessional. They activated a monthly house hold package this year without my consent, that i had cancelled it in 2017. and they are not giving me my money back. This is so unprofessional. the manager at the center was acting as his boss told him to. I would not recommend them to anyone !..be careful ! read more
