I've had the unlimited car wash membership for several months but always went to the other location because it was more convenient. I'd heard that the 280 location offers an interior service for an extra $10 for members but I'd never done it. The staff was SO nice. Like, made my day nice. For those wondering, you pull into the "interior" spot and they scan your membership tag, ask if you'd like to add a tip, and run your card for the additional $10. You leave your keys in the car and wait in the lobby while they vacuum, run your car through the wash, and wipe it down. Once they're finished they call out the make of your car and you retrieve it from them. There was also someone in the lobby helping to facilitate that which I appreciated! I tipped them $10 but honestly I wish I'd done more. They did SUCH an amazing job. My car wasn't super clean to start - dirt, hair, etc... and it looks spotless now. They put a few belongings that had fallen under the seats neatly on the passenger seat (including a credit card I'd lost the day before!). I realized halfway through that I'd left a dried sprig of lavender on my dash - a sentimental memento - and resigned myself that they had probably tossed it thinking it was trash. I was so thrilled to see it tucked neatly in my visor on my drive home. I cannot recommend this place enough. I went right when they opened at 8AM on a Saturday and it took about half an hour from start to finish. It's a wonderful service at an incredible value and I can't wait to come back.

I have been to this Mr Car Wash location on Highway 280 many times. I go to this location because it's close to where I live, and there are few (if any) coin operated quick car washes at gas stations along 280. I have to say, this place is terrible. Even mid morning on a weekday, the wait is over an hour. This is very consistent. I'm not sure if there are staffing issues, or what the deal is, but you can plan to wait a long time for a pretty mediocre car wash here. I don't have time to wait for Mr. Car Wash and I won't be back.

DO NOT USE MISTER CAR WASH! MONEY ACCIDENTALLY LEFT BEHIND (while not in plain sight) DISAPPEARED FROM MY CAR YESTERDAY around 3:20 pm. I was still in the car drying line when I immediately noticed it was gone. I never left the parking lot! I reported it to the manager and he told me they weren't responsible for anything. While they have cameras...I was not allowed to view the footage. I was told I would have to have a subpoena. I called the police to file a report. While I was waiting for the police to arrive, I started looking at reviews for Mister Car Wash. I found that people had reported valuables taken from their car and yes money...stating that the workers were not trustworthy.There seemed to be common occurrences. My son told me of a friend whose wedding ring went missing and it was hidden away in his car. I was sickened to the point that I felt even more compelled to file a report. I didn't want this to happen to anyone else. At around 5:40 pm the person serving as manager told me that they would be closing at 6:00pm and if the police had not shown up by then he would be leaving. Fortunately, the police did show up about the time he was telling me. I filed a report and took a card that had the district manager's phone number listed. I text the district manager to the two numbers listed and never received a response back of any kind. Very disappointing. This morning around 10:45 am ... I still had not heard from the district manager. I decided I would return to Mister Car Wash and try to talk to the district manager in person. She was there. I spoke with her concerning the incident. During the conversation, I was told that they were not required to run a background check on their workers. I was shocked! My advice would be to stay away from any Mister Car Wash. I clearly feel that they do not care and just wish I would disappear as if it never happened. I am posting this to inform others about them not screening workers and in hopes that this nightmare won't happen to anyone else. I am praying that they will do the right thing and reimburse my loss. I don't feel much hope of this happening as it seems they don't care. This totally grieves my spirit.

They've been my car wash for over 10 years now. If you ever have an issue just tell them and they'll fix it. My wife and I have the unlimited wash monthly!

So you're tired of looking at your dirty car? Tired of going through the carwash then having it rain the next day? Wishing there was a way for you to spend $1 a day to be assured that your car was always clean? Then this is your spot. Here's what I do. Go to this place, give them a card number, sign up for a monthly wash package, then drive in any time you want, as many times as you want, and never look at your dirty car again because it will always be clean. I think I pay around 30 bucks a month, and since I pass it every day, I can just pull in the moment just 1 rogue bird decides to target me in traffic and immediately have it cleaned as though it never happened. What about the inside of the car? Well, if you get the wash package, the outside will always be clean, on on those days where you need to get the inside done, you just pay a little more depending on how clean you want the inside to be. I wanna say its 8 bucks or so and they'll vacuum it, clean all the insides of the windows, do the floor mats and if I'm not mistaken they do the wheels by hand and get every last speck of dirt cleaned right off. For just a little more, I think 20 bucks, you can get the "final touch", which basically puts your car back into the state that it was in when you picked it up at the dealer. So with the package you can wash the outside every day if you want, and when the inside is dirty you can get that done too at a steep discount. I've been coming here for a year or so, and they're always quick, efficient, friendly and they always do a great job. It's really impressive to see how they can handle hundreds of cars a day and the whole place just moves like a machine. Really good execution. They also sell a variety of air fresheners and other assorted things like that, and they've got free popcorn for while you wait. There are plenty of places to wash a car around town, but none who offer what they offer here. For $1 a day or so your car will never have a speck of dirt on it, and once a month or so you can get them to clean the inside as well. I don't see how that's not worth it, and I've done it enough times to know that there's no catch. Great people, great service, great price, hard to find another place that even offers to do the same job. 5 stars.

After traveling from Va. Beach to Birmingham, my car needed a good wash. Thankfully Mister Car Wash got me taken care of!

Pretty good chain. Went to the Hoover location across from the Galleria. The first young man who…read moreassisted me came over straight away and explained the club membership process as I payed at the drive up kiosk. (Very helpful.) The Next young men met me at the car wash entrance to do the tire scrub. He was very nice, thanked me enthusiastically for the small tip I offered (he still seemed to have a great attitude tho it was almost 5pm), and did a good job. My only reservation to call in it great was I asked him not to brush the paint, but he forgot & brushed the hood. Not a dealbreaker, I'll be more clear about that next time. After the wash, I went to vacuum my car. Free self-serve vacuums are available with a paid wash. Some of the vacs had broken hoses, so I just found one that looked decent. It had been repaired but the suction seemed pretty good. Then I noticed some garbage was clogging the nozzle, & once that got sucked down, the suction was excellent. While I vacuumed my car to within an inch of its life, I noticed employees walking around picking up litter, emptying trash cans, just generally tidying up. The guy next to me was doing a full on self detail & nobody bothered him. All was good. After vacuuming, I went inside to complete the membership. The lady at the counter obviously knew her job & got it done quickly. She made sure I knew about Al the other locations, & the process for using my membership, as well as optionally upgrading if I needed more service on any future visits. She also gave me helpful information about when the automatic payments come out of the account. Seems like good info to have, and she was going above & beyond to explain everything in clear terms. Not always the case, so that was a plus in my opinion. I took away one star because the website links weren't all functioning. Maybe not updated. Specifically, there was a banner headline offer for a free wash for joining the online club, but there was no submission button or link after going thru the process of filling in the fields on the form to join. I hate when businesses don't maintain their websites. So. One star deduction. I would still recommend. It's a decent place to get your typical car wash with free vac, and they have full detail service there as well.

These folks are experts on cleaning cars! I'm very impressed and I can't believe the low price of…read morethis car wash place. My daughter's car was a hot mess with dog hair everywhere.

Downtown Birmingham's car wash hub. Formerly GooGoo, now a Take 5 car wash. I came the morning of…read moreChristmas Eve to polish up the car to hit the road. When I pulled up to the kiosk, their payment system was down and they had an employee standing there to accept payments and get people thru. Kudos to them for fixing the problem, but I don't love tapping my card onto an iPhone. Even if it's the company iPhone and not the employee's personal one, it lacks a little bit of trust from the consumer end. The car wash went fine, they offered me a little air freshener for inside. I rounded the corner to hit the vacuums, which were nearly full. Once I started cleaning my car, I noticed a piece of my side mirror missing. Ugh. I went up and told the guys at the front of the wash, and a couple minutes later one of them came back and snapped it back on. I do like the system they have for cleaning. They offer two kinds of spray bottles to clean glass and interiors with cloth rags. All in all, the problems I had which felt pretty major, were sufficiently fixed by the wonderful staff. Kudos to them!

Not A1 customer service one bit today, sorry for the 1 star rating but when the actual "manager" works he doesn't choose favorites he treats everyone equally with kindness and respect and offers a air freshener for the mirror which they didn't provide to anyone. Im not going to ask for what is supposed to be provided every time within getting a car wash.
