I'm giving this place 2 stars because the car itself came out clean, but I was not satisfied with the value or pricing clarity. I came in expecting a standard wash and vacuum. I was initially quoted $200 for a full detail, and after clearly explaining that I only wanted a basic service with a light interior clean, I was still charged $150. The service I received was consistent with a wash and vacuum, plus some dog hair removal. It did not include what I would typically expect from a detail at that price point. I could have received a comparable wash elsewhere for significantly less. There was no clear breakdown of services or pricing provided upfront, which made it difficult to understand what I was actually paying for. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this business if you're simply looking for a straightforward car wash. I would suggest confirming exactly what service you're receiving and the total cost before agreeing to anything. read more

I had an excellent experience at Magic Hand Car Wash. From the moment I arrived, the place was well-organized and the staff was friendly and professional. They paid great attention to detail and took their time to make sure everything was spotless. My car looked like it just came out of a showroom--both inside and out. Highly recommend Magic Hand Car Wash to anyone who wants their car cleaned the right way. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

You can tell that this business is proud of what they do. Our car was detailed from stem to stern perfectly. I also thought the price for the service we got was a good value. My wife had a smile on her face when she saw her car and that is all I care about! read more

Thank you so much !!!! read more

My experience at magic hand car wash was fantastic. After reading some of the other 1 and 2 star reviews, I can say that they're all BS. I made an appointment and I was greeted by a friendly staff member. I got the clay and wax service. And I added on interior vacuum and wipe down for an additional fee. All of the services performed were done very well. When my car was finished it looked like it just came off the showroom floor. The interior had been meticulously vacuumed and wiped down. The service was supposed to take about an hour and a half but was done in about an hour as they had two people working on it. The wash was all done by hand. Pressure washer and microfiber towels. No brushes and no scrubbing. I usually wash my car myself using the same methods, but it was really nice to take it somewhere and pay them to do it. The cost is more than other car washes, but it's worth it as it is all done by hand. They don't leave your vehicle all scratched up after every wash. It cost more but it's done the right way. Excellent service and I will absolutely be back. Thanks so much guys! read more

The first time I went to this location, they did an awesome job! I was quoted over the phone and their work was highly appreciated. This time, I was haggled into a higher price without a job worth it! They left my floor mats wet, parts of my car untouched, scratched my car and left a scuff mark. BEWARE! I don't mind paying for great service, but I will not waste my money on this business again. read more

Rip off! I bought a detail package - they left it filthy. When I showed up, they tried to get me to add on charges, I said no thanks. When they "finished" and it was still filthy, he said that was because I didnt add anything on and tried to up-charge me again. I said a detail shouldn't leave my car dirty. He kept trying to up-sell me and I finally said please just charge me and I'll leave this all in the review. Suddenly he was happy to redo the entire detail for free. I said no thanks and that id include that too. He was trying to get away with whatever he could, thinking id be dumb enough to fall for it. Only cared when I said id leave this review. Pathetic. What a waste of time and money. When i posted this review on Google, they tried to claim i was rude in some way - I wasn't, I simply didnt want additional costs. I paid for a detail. I got back a filthy car. Trying to claim I was rude for this is pretty telling of how you run the business. Your reply only proves my point. Good try manipulating the situation to make yourselves look better. Look at your other reviews- I wish I had. read more

They dont do regular car washes only details. My spanish is ok and in spanish they told me 80 minutes for a mini detail and i didnt have that much time so the owner came up to me in english and said they could do it in 40 minutes (thats all i have time for) but would still charge me the full $80 for mini detail. Seems kinda suspect... i wouldnt go here unless you actually need a car detailed not just washed. They dont do just car washes. read more

Came to this place on a recommendation from a friend. I woke up early on a Saturday morning because I had a busy weekend ahead of me, and made an appt. When I showed up, the business was closed. I tried to call the number and left a message and never got a response. Please update your hours or don't leave appt options open if no one is going to be available or not respond. This place was 25 min from my house which means not only did I waste my time, but my overpriced gas. read more

I will only get my car detailed here as they do such an amazing job. The owner Eser really has out done his self with this amazing operation. The attention to detail through ever piece of my vehicle is quite extraordinary. They also complete my car in a very short amount of time without missing anything. This is hands down the best detailing business I have ever had the pleasure of bringing my vehicle too! read more

They do a 100% hand car wash (hard to find) at a good price and are very thorough. Would definitely recommend if you do not want to put your car through and automatic car wash read more

I came here because I was in the area after a running a few errands. I learned appointments are required, but they took me with no appointment which I appreciated. I asked for a basic wash. No detail, no waxing, just a basic wash. I was charged $70 for a hand wash. This is close to double, and in some cases even more than the going rate on the street. It was really unfortunate. The owner was a very nice guy, but I felt like I was robbed based on the price relative to the services provided. Is it possible I was charged incorrectly? I would like to return, but could never justify spending that money again. read more

Great service. If you really want your car cleaned inside and outside. It is very worth the money to get it done here. My car looked terrible before they brought it back to life. read more

Gas Station Quality Wash. If you care for your car's paint, skip this place and take it elsewhere. Charged $85 for hand wash and it looked like my blind 80yr old uncle washed the car. Disappointing, and sadly its not even an establishment I can get frustrated with because they don't look like they can make it things right. This place will most likely be out of business soon, what a scam. ***no concessions or refreshments available at this location*** read more

Really wanted to like this place since it's in my neighborhood but unfortunately I won't be returning. Got me in quickly, guys were friendly, didn't take long and I can see why. 1. They use a brush and in a circular motion, most of the better hand wash places have converted to wool mitts or micro fiber towels to remove dirt instead of just moving around a brush which causes swirls. 2. After driving home (.5 miles) I looked at my car closer. I had streaks all over the car, so I had to pull out my own towels, quick detailer and pretty much do the whole car over. 3. The wheels.. don't even know where to begin. My wheels are ceramic coated so they're incredibly easy to clean. The lips were still dirty, the spokes looked as if they weren't touched. I thought maybe they just missed one but they were all very dirty (photo attached). They did a great job on the interior, wish they did the same on the exterior. I should've looked the car over before leaving but there were people there and I didn't want to hold up the line. read more

They do a nice job and so friendly to customers. There is even a little shaded waiting area, great service!

They were quick to get me in. Great price for the time and effort put into cleaning and detailing my vehicle.

These gentlemen are awesome I came in with one of the worlds most disgusting vehicles. (dog hair EVERYWHERE) but I can't honestly put all the blame on my two dogs. My lifelong bad habit of just being a gross person definitely helped. French fries from the Great Depression were stuck in places I didn't even know existed! A piece of candy decided to sunbathe in my cup holder and then protested against my driving skills by solidifying. and to top it off.... I DID NOT save 15% or more on my car insurance by switching to geico. Basically, My day was going rough!! These guys turned my day into unicorns and rainbows! Extremely kind and very attentive to detail. I'm a happy new regular customer!! read more

This is a quality Hand Car wash. Not a cheap drive through. They do very detailed work. They exceeded my expectations from a car wash and made my car look like new again. I drove through a swarm of bees (by accident, I didn't see them, I bees) and there was goo/nectar/very sticky stuff all over. They got all of it off even the sticky stuff between the grill, without a scratch to be found. read more

This car wash is a joke. It's not even a car wash, just a spot on the concrete where they wash your car which would be fine BUT the dude quoted me $60 for a basic wash and vacuum in a Prius!!!!! I think he just didn't want to work or something, but the supposed "new" management is HORRIBLE AND THIS PLACE is A HUGE RIP OFF!!!! read more

I was looking for a drive thru car wash but this place is hands on and detail oriented. Yes, it cost a bit more but they're worth it. They took their time and did a great job. If you're looking for a cheap spit shine then no, you shouldn't come here. They're not overpriced for the work that they did. If you want quality work then this is the place for you. Feel free to tell them if they missed a spot cause they're only human. read more

I've brought my Tesla Model S here twice now, and both times the service has been fantastic. They only hand wash vehicles, and given the relatively small staff they have on hand, it can take an hour or two to get the work done. But quality takes patience, and these guys are top-notch! I have literally zero complaints about their work, the cost, or even how long they take. And it's very convenient that they take credit cards. If you love your car looking great, I recommend this place! read more

My new car was damaged while at wash owner is irresponsible and will not own up to it brand new vehicle from dealer went in for first wash ever and comes back with gouge in window laminate and crack in sunroof glass . I return 30 minutes after discovering 2 miles away and immediately they started grouping up and denying anything and scraping at vehicle with fingers saying rock damage from the highway when I didn't even drive on highway on way home just keeps saying I'm trying to con him and he sees it always people with damage coming in trying to hustle him there's video of us walking around vehicle and no damage was pointed out anytime by employees when dropping off car and they also lied when I asked what color towels they used as there was yellow microfiber in the crack and he's claiming I have accidents or claims on vehicle I offered my vin to run cars straight from Kia this past month I will also be contacting better BBB to report as I work in auto damage for insurance and I know my damaged vehicles parts a few hundred dollars to replace easily but I hate being called a liar and people trying to take advantage beware of this place make sure you take photos of your car when dropping off I wish I read reviews before going here. * update to owner claims a chip from a rock when I clearly stated it's a gouged scrape that something was dragged on glass maybe from something in the dirty towel and the top glass scrape also as the yellow towel was used in both areas I never threatened anything but to report my situation to Yelp and BBB then was threatened that karma will get me and now threatening to sue me read more

I found this business on Google. I'm tired of car washes that don't clean the inside of your car windows! I made the appointment online and when I got there, they were very busy. You know when you watch people you can tell if they are doing a lazy or thorough job. These guys are very thorough! My car is beautiful inside and out. The other patrons are very nice and I had a lovely time getting my car washed and a mini-detail! I will never go anywhere else! read more

Wanted to like this place so bad because it's hard finding a good place that does hand washes for a good price. Long story short, they sprayed my car down and started drying it. Did not wash my car. I let them know that they didn't even wash my car and was visibly upset so he told me he's sorry but he thought my car was already clean. They proceeded to actually wash my car but took over an hour in a half total. read more

I paid $45 for them to completely hand wash, dust, vacuum, do tire detail and dry my car. It's been about a month since I took these pictures and my car is still beautiful. Not to mention, it was almost a year since the last time my car was cleaned this good. You will easily pay close to $70 at other places for a job that doesn't come close to this. They literally scrubbed my car to get the old stuck on bugs. I wish I would have taken before pictures because these don't do it justice. They are the only people I will go to from here on out. read more

I came in for a simple wash, but the associate was very pushy to get me to go with the most expensive detail. I declined several times, and he finally understood I wasn't budging. He did the basic wash fairly well. Likely will see if there's a better wash out there. read more

The hand car wash is very basic here. I can do a better job myself. That's why I'm not going to come back here. The workers here barely speak English and half of the time I can't even understand them. They don't look like they even wanna be at work. Management should hire people that actually like to wash cars. Also the 2 times I've been to this car wash place the customers and myself were getting bit by flying bugs they're probably mosquitoes. read more

These guys are great. We live nearby and have been using them for months. They do a great job and are very thorough. They are trustworthy and reliable, we have left sensitive documents and cash in our vehicle when we've been on a rush and everything is always there. If you live in the area give them a shot, you'll certainly be happy with their service! read more

My little baby Jeep needed a little love after months of neglect. Luckily, this place is open later than other full service car washes on my area. No one was in line so they were able to take my car in pronto. I got the Ultimate Car Wash and less than an hour later, my black Patriot is no longer gray. He was shining, shimmering, splendid. Great work both inside and outside of the car! Side note: The area is the middle of a residential/business district. The neighborhood has great old houses to look at. Just be careful coz it gets sketchy pretty quickly. read more

I asked for a quote from several companies over the weekend. Magic Hand contacted me within 48 hours with a very reasonable quote for their mobile services. They were very flexible with my schedule and were able to come out at a time that suited me. No complaints about the job either. They made my 13 year old vehicle look new inside and out so I could get it sold quickly. On top of that, they were very pleasant, nice people which is a plus in this day and age. When I'm ready to detail another car, I will call them again. read more
