Ted J.

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

Bumper

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.

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.

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.

Easy enough to tell the dirt that wasn't washed off next to the logo.

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

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.
