UPDATE: I have gone to this car wash several more times and they have done an incredible job. My suggestion is get the $10 hand wash Basically paid for a crap car wash & tipped some random dudes to scratch the shit out of my car. Worst car wash I've ever been to, seriously. I would give negative stars if I could. They didn't give a shit about scratching my car or banging my mirrors and doors with their little brush pole. I understand your job sucks, but damn don't take it out on other people's vehicles. read more

This car wash is a POS I went through the automatic one, can't even get all the dirt of it was super dirty after 2 washes, and bug guts still on the hood of my car save your money it's not worth it read more

Only because I have to give a star to rate this sh*t hole. Save your money! You have more water pressure at home than this "so call car wash". If you have daughters or a girl...do come here. No lights and unsafe. Only reason I came here to wash off wheels...hell ...couldn't even do that! UGH!! read more

Very dirty wash bays.....I only go for the wash and rinse that I do on my own, trash overflowing, vacuums not working.... don't use the soap brushes, very dirty, will scratch your car.... I don't use it at all....I see the car wash workers under the shade waiting for a car to come through the brand new touch less car wash.... umm they can be cleaning the bays and throwing trash away.....but no today is 8/27/2023 2:51 pm read more

My usual detail place was closed so I decided to a DYI job and stopped here - obviously great prices, and was really here for the vacuum. Did the $12 wash and when I got out to do my vacuum, I realized they did a shit job and my car was still filthy but thought to myself "eh well, $12 what did I expect?" - however, while I was vacuuming, a fellow circled my car a few times and finally said "wow, they did a terrible job" and then preceded to have me drive through again and assister with the wash himself as well as a coupon for another time wash. Jacob, the assistant manager, did an wxely job, both on quality control and xusrime service. Well done, and I'll see you again. read more

I really should have checked out yelp before going through this wash. I added pictures because when I got home and looked at my car, I was really blown away by all the dirt that was still on the bottom half of my car. Called the number on my receipt, was offered to go back through with receipt between 9am-6pm. I work an hour away from Kyle, so not really feasible. I also called back stating I lost my receipt since the day i used it to call the number on it with my concern. Never got a call back. Just go to WaterWorks right beside this place. read more

Patriot Car Wash - Top half of my car was decently clean. Idk what happened in the wash for the bottom to still look like that. - Car Wash Near Me - Kyle, Texas

Update: I went back the other day to check to see if there were any improvements. Nope. It's just as bad as it was, but I witnessed something that I needed to pass on to others. The attendants (who pre wash your car while you're going through the automatic car wash) were spraying a specific type of wheel cleaner on everybody's wheels AND ALL OVER THE CARS! First of all, this particular wheel cleaner can only be used on rims of a certain type. If you use it on any other rims, it will eat away the coating on your rims and eventually ruin your rims. The warning is written right there on the back of the spray bottle. They warn you on the label about this because the cleaner has caustic ingredients and eventually will cause serious damage. Most people do not have the type of rims that this product is used for, therefore virtually everybody who goes through that automatic car wash is getting product sprayed on their rims AND their cars that can and will cause damage! When I say that they are spraying it on the cars as well, I am not talking about a little bit of overspray while they're spraying the wheels. They are actually taking it and walking around the entire car and spraying the car itself with this product! This business is just one step away from a huge lawsuit from the first person who connects the dots and realizes why their rims and possibly their car is messed up. Please be warned if you really care about your vehicle. You can go on the internet and Google search why automatic car washes are bad for your car in the first place, but when these guys are also spraying this stuff on your rims and car, that should be enough reason to avoid this automatic car wash entirely. Again, I am speaking from experience because my family had a car wash for years and I am still in the detailing business. I am not trying to solicit any customers for myself. I am just trying to pass on a friendly warning. read more

It did not fully wash my car. I went through the automatic wash and it sprayed my car down with soap and stopped. Nothing else. I left with a soapy car. read more

Patriot Car Wash - Soapy unwashed car - Car Wash Near Me - Kyle, Texas

went once. the coin mechanism took all my coins and nothing worked. Its not regularly kept up in terms of cleaning up the bay/area.

Stay Away from this spot!! I've been going to this car wash for almost 3 years. Up until this week I've had nothing but good things to say. This week I went by to find a new crew working. Not a big deal, until you pull up when it's your turn to find out that they've changed things with no signs to warn you. The car wash has always been $8 and the old team would brush your tires and do a few other things as part of a "pre-wash". It was awesome and I tipped each time. This time these new guys told me that from now on anything besides the basic automatic car wash was going to be extra and the pre-wash part would only be accepted in cash (not how they used to do things). I had my credit card and only a couple bucks in cash at which point they started laughing at me and talking smack in Spanish about how they should just wash my car with water no soap. My first language is Spanish. Not cool. After some back and forth between them, they decided that they would let me pay the old amount with credit card this one time. They "run my card" only to tell me it doesn't work. They said I needed to go get cash and come back. It's a brand new card. I had just used it 20 minutes prior. I argued those points to him and he just kept saying I need to get cash and come back. I told him to just please just wash it and I'll get cash after. He agreed. While driving to get cash I called my bank. Turns out HE DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO RUN MY CARD! He was trying to get it all in cash. Unreal. Of course, I went back and paid the amount they charged. I hope the owner of that car wash knows what's happening at his place of business. it's unacceptable and they're losing this customer. If this continues it will be a matter of time before they lose a lot more. read more

Early a.m. Stopped In for a quick automatic wash. Once done I stepped out it dry off and even in the dark I could see it didn't even get the dirt off! So disappointed. Then you have to pay to vacuum?! Forget it! Crappy car wash!! I was leaving and noticed the electronic sign display said "satisfaction guaranteed or your dirt back". Had to growl - they didn't even take my dirt!! read more

It is what it is. A self-serve car wash. As my quick tip states, they do have 2 shampoo vac's & that alone is beyond awesome because my dog likes to shed his hair in my car & the vac does a great job at sucking up most of that. Their bays are big & well maintained. For those who are lazy & don't feel like physically washing their car, Patriot does have an auto-wash. Be prepared to wait in line if you stop by on Saturday or sunday afternoons. read more

Patriot Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Kyle, Texas

This drive thru car wash is TERRIBLE. The equipment was faulty and my car was just as dirty at the end of the wash as it was when we drove into the place. There was no attendant on site and no contact info listed to speak with management. I googled the business and the phone number listed on their Facebook page(512-262-3301) is disconnected. I definitely won't give this place repeat business. read more

Just really bad. I pulled into one of the two automatic bays, paid my $10 and waited. I was then told by an attendant that the pre wash services were only offered on one of the bays (no signs were posted) but I could run through the car wash without a pre-wash. After being denied a refund, I decided to just take the wash and leave, but after driving into the bay, the wash malfunctioned. So, I paid $10, left with a very dirty car. Stay away! read more

Was treated horribly there by attendant.when asked for only phone number told me he didn't have it look it up on the internet.when I told him he was a liar he called the police.I filmed the whole thing and the police when they came said they have many incidences like this with them.. try to look up on his phone number it can't be found except for one that's out of service .be forewarned read more

These guys always scrub my trucks before they send me through the automatic car wash. It's rare to see service like this anymore... And their car wash is only $8. The best place on the area, hands down. read more

Patriot Car Wash - Scrubbed windshield before going into the car wash. - Car Wash Near Me - Kyle, Texas

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! If I could rate 0 Stars I would! I went through the touchless and paid for the premium car wash. I got out and definitely had to dry it myself because you do not get enough time or the blowers are not powerful enough. I went to dry my car and there was so much dirt it was like I never went through. I have a brand new Mercedes Benz and I luckily bring my own waterless wash kit. read more

I paid $8 for a wash which was worthless. Then I had to pay for vacuum which cost me about about $4. I did the vacuum myself so that was a good job at least. The car was still dirty so I drove around and ask the workers about it. He said I should have paid another $5 for him to brush it before I went through the car wash. I told him that he should have told me in the first place. He was nice enough to wash the car with the brush and let me go through the wash again for free ( I gave him a tip) but I don't know if I would come here again and have to pay $13 for a wash - that isn't even up to par. I have the extra star because the guy was nice and re-did my car. read more

Found this place since it's right by my work. They have a self serve car wash, but also a touch-free drive through car wash. They'll also brush your car before you go in through it with brushes, expecting a small tip of $1 or $2, but even if you have no cash they'll still do it. The wash itself is pretty cheap too, just $8. read more

So disappointed! Patriot used to do a great job: the attendants took time to do a thorough pre-wash and the drive through finished with a full wash. It was nice to see the soap cut through all the gunk. Even though the price was increased 25%, I decided to use Patriot again yesterday. The attendants spent all of 3 minutes barely going over my car and then directed me into the drive through. NO soap: none, nary a bubble, only clear water during the "wash" cycle which, as it turns out, did nothing. When finished, I stopped my van to see how well it had been cleaned, which became a moot point because it wasn't clean. Bugs were all over the windshield and hood/front, and bird poop was in several places on the body. I washed all this off myself when I got home since this "car wash" did nothing. So much for the 30% tip I left. NEVER again at this place. read more

Total waste of time. New to the area and looking for a place that does interior and exterior. Of course no signage to tell me so I waste time in line only to find I will have to do interior myself. Was then told I could use my card for the $8 wash but had to pay $5 CASH ONLY for him and another guy to scrub my car in advance. Turns out that meant the auto car wash doesn't clean worth jack. 75 cents (only quarters but machine doesn't tell you that either) will give you about 3 minutes for vacuuming. Hey, I get that you're not full service, but you need to answer a phone or put up a website telling people what they can and cannot expect. This place is bare bones, machines either don't work or are subpar and you have to pony up cash to get anything. Sketchy. I see previous reviews were positive. Something must've massively changed in ownership and it shows. read more

I use to go to the new car wash down the road pretty regularly but the last few times my car came out with soap still on it and they did a half assed job drying it so I decided to give Patriot a try.... It was wonderful! They hand wash your car first making sure all of the dirt and nasty stuff is off of it and then you go through a laser wash for finishing touches. When I looked at my receipt afterwords I expected it to be at least $15 dollars but I was blown away that they did all of that for only $8!!! I will definitely be going back quit often! read more

Was the best car wash in Kyle now crap. No sign saying $5 more for brush. The automatic car is crap and didn't even take off the dust. Don't go to this horrible car wash! read more

Went through the wash twice and still have a ton of soap on my car. Will never go back.

My car always comes out super clean for a cheap price when I bring it in extremely dirty. The guys work very hard scrubbing it before I roll my Liberty into the actual car wash & I'm always impressed with how fast and clean my car looks. Thanks guys! A good tip: tip the guys, they work pretty hard and so far have never missed a spot on my vehicle read more

Ron f. I totally agree with you that the patron did that he told me that my pickup was to dirty and had to go spray it down first and was exeremly mad and rude the whole time and actually hit our pickup with a plastic cup because he was mad that he had customers because there was long line. read more

These guys are great! It is my go to spot to get my car cleaned. My car is spotless when it comes out and you can't beat the price! I don't bother going anywhere else. The first time I went it was super quick, the second time took forever. I wouldn't go here if I was in a hurry or I'd make sure there is more than one person working on my car. read more

DONT FORGET YOUR CASH TIP! This is the BEST! You get your automobile scribed down before you get into the auto wash to make sure your beauty comes out sparkling clean. The men there are as through as you are when washing your car. The fella that washed my truck was even in the booth scrubbing my beauty down while it was being sprayed down... Talk about service! I make the drive when ever I can just to get my wash here and after your first I believe you will do the same! Appreciate the quality touch this place has to offer and I'm sure my baby loves the special attention!! read more

BUNCH OF FOOLS LOST MY BUSINESS FOREVER. I brought a bucket and my own brush. I *BOUGHT* 30+ seconds of "their" water to partially fill my bucket, maybe 2 gallons of water, so I could loosen up some dirt on our car in preparation to run through one of the manual wash stalls. Mind you, I had *ALREADY* paid to wash my truck in the same stall, and used time off that paid for wash to fill the bucket. This idiot woman sees me loosening the dirt from my car and starts walking toward me with a grimmace on her face. I had to assume she worked there, as she had on a blue shirt with the company logo on it, yet NOT ONCE did she identify herself as an employee. She tells me, "You cannot have the bucket here." Really? Where is THAT sign posted? She then attempts to dump my bucket of PAID FOR water out. I grabbed it before she could get to it. I continued to loosen dirt on my car. The IDIOT then proceeds to call the police on me.... for PAYING for $5 worth of manual stall time. Your idiot employee then FLIPS ME OFF while talking to the police to file a FALSE REPORT that I have somehow wronged them or caused harm to their business. I ended up having to REWASH BOTH of my vehicles when I got home. Avoid these scumbags at all cost. They are NOT worth your time or money. read more

Love the Patriot Car Wash. Always a clean stall to wash the car. The place is well kept and the prices are reasonable. I use them on a regular basis.. read more

I WAS a patron of this car wash for my three cars and one truck up until today. I own a dually truck with a crew cab and used this car wash exclusively for the truck because they advertised that they wash duallys. Today I was informed by one of the attendants that they would no longer wash my truck, that my truck was too dirty for him to wash it, and that I could go next door and brush it down before I brought it back there again. He sad he was doing this at the owners direction. Now, the truck only had road grime on it from driving it in the rain and was not muddy at all. I in fact, went next door before I took it to them and sprayed it down because it had dust accumulated in the wheels and bed, but I don't guess this was good enough. Apparently, the personnel there are too lazy to brush down a large vehicle. Pity,...for I consistently tipped the two guys at least $3 a piece because I realize it was a large truck. This is the same crew mentioned in the other ads, maybe a "big ol' truck" is to much for them to handle. If you are not going to wash a dually, then don't say so in your ads. I won't be back, I've already found another Patriot Car wash in San Marcos (different owner) who will wash my truck no matter how dirty it is. I'll be sure and spread the word to my truckin friends...... read more

I enjoy mudding in my Jeep and, as you can guess, my vehicle is often extremely muddy. My work is in a professional setting though so there are times I need my car to be clean. I've been to multiple different car washes and have always preferred the big detail / hand wash companies because of the quality of cleanliness (even though it really hurts my wallet). Today, while out in Kyle, I was desperate to get a good wash because I had to pick up someone from corporate and was dismayed to find out that the only car wash place even close was Patriots (online and in person it doesn't look like much at all). Do not let looks deceive you! I first went to the back to vacuum and shampoo my car. I was having trouble figuring out how to operate the shampoo device and my time was being wasted so I approached an employee about the problem. Not only did he come over to explain how everything worked but he reimbursed my money and gave me twice as much time as I had told him I paid for. Honestly I was a little flustered when I first approached him about losing my money and he made me feel silly for being so short with him by how courteous he was to me. The excellent service didn't stop there! When I usually go places to wash my Jeep the staff will give me annoyed looks and talk amongst themselves (undoubtably because of how dirty my car is). The one single employee at the car wash was doing quick scrubs of the vehicles before they ran through the wash so as to ensure that they were clean. When I pulled up, instead of getting a nasty look, the gentleman asked me to pull over into one of the side stalls where people self wash their vehicles. He then spent the following 20 minutes scrubbing every last inch of my vehicle until it was almost perfectly clean and didn't even need the car wash. When he had finished, he had me pull around and run my vehicle through the car wash. When I asked the gentleman how much I owed him he said the $8 price of a normal car wash was all I owed. The quality of my car wash was easily worth $30 plus. The gentleman's name who gave me such great service was José. I handed him a $20 bill before I left and insured him that I will definitely be coming back in the future. Such excellent service is really rare! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting quality service, and the fact that their carwashes are only $8 is astounding! read more

I will not return to this car wash. I've lost my money twice without getting it to return when I hit the return button. The timer just kept going down. There is no one there to discuss a return or anyway to get it back. There is a new car wash coming to Kyle. Thankful for another place to go. If I could give them zero stars I would. read more

I was very disappointed, they used to wash the truck prior to going into the automatic car wash but apparently now it cost $25. Lots of soap and missed patches after the wash. Won't be going back. read more

So far this place has done a great wash with my car. They take they're time brushing off dirt from my vehicle before running it through the wash. I just drove up with my pickup and had a gentleman lead me to the carwash so that he can pressure wash it first. Then direct me to the machine to get it washed but not before he gave it a better scrub. My truck was covered in mud. Not a problem. They are polite and attentive and not afraid to get wet and work. The price is alot less then Water Works car wash. Personally I would rate it a 5 star in service and cleanliness of my vehicle, but rated it a 4 star ONLY because it has one drive through and the drive through area is tight and you can sometimes wait a while due to it. But other then that.. It is all good. I'd rather wait since I know that the delay is due to the customer service they are giving us to make sure our vehicles are getting washed as good as possible. I'd recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a car wash. I'm happy so far. read more

I usually have no issues using this facility, but this afternoon 12/30/15, I deposited 8 quarters to vacuum, but it the machine was not sucking up anything, just making noise. I proceeded to move the car and to wash while I found an attendant, I told him about the issue and I thought he was coming back to give me a refund, but he never returned, then went looking for him again, I couldn't find him. I know is only $2, but it is still it is not fair. read more
