    Rear window wiper ripped out of back window by the car wash machine. Rear window damage by car wash machine.

    I visited Radiant Express Car Wash at 2049 US 92 Auburndale, FL today 2/10/2025 and needless to say I will never use this place again. I decided to get my car washed today using the free car wash pass that was given to me by their management for the funds they could not refund me due to over charging my account after I cancelled my membership months in advance. My car entered the car wash just fine but just as the suds were being raised and dried off my car I heard two very loud cracks as their machine was literally trying to rip my rear window off. Upon exiting the actual car wash I pulled in to vacuum area to assess the damage. I immediately notified the manager on duty that my rear window was busted due to there machine ,and that they are responsible and need to pay for damages. The manager on duty stated he would call his district manager to see what they could do to assist me. The district manager placed a phone call to the regional manager named Charles who made the ultimate decision stating that the company is not responsible for the damage done to my car because my car is more than five years old. This is absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. I tried to work with them but they showed no remorse or accountability. From the past comments I have read I can see that this company has a bad habit of not taking accountability for damages caused by their machines to customers vehicles. This is wrong on so many levels and I pray whoever sees this review thinks twice before using this car wash, because if they break it they will not pay for it.

    Cancellation from today

    I've gone to the website to cancel the membership for 3 straight weeks, yet, my membership is still active. This is robbery. They are thieves. Now they say, you have to come up there. If I lived in Auburndale, I would. But I don't. I moved, now I have to go through the reviews to cancel.

    Audi. Radiant. Free vacuums. Sparkly clean.

    As always I come here all the time. Part of the unlimited wash club. I can honestly not say a bad thing about this business. They offer free Towels to wipe your car down after it's done. They also offer free glass cleaner for your windows. They're just really nice people. I look forward to seeing them all the time. I'm keeping my car nice and radiant

    Your car wash was just built in my area and I love everything about it but one thing. After my SUV was washed April 2020 it left a film on the paint? I have used Time To Shine across the street several times over 20 and never had this happen. I love your offering of the rags, vacuum and great service however, I am a little nervous getting another wash because of the after effect. I assume someone before me used a wax or something and it left a nasty residue on my paint. I have washed it several times since by hand and it is still there. Today, May 17,2020 I need another wash so I went to your place again and spoke with a manager and he took pictures. He offered a full wash so I did and It came out worse than when it went in. The only other option was for me to hand wax it??? My SUV is very well kept. In side and out. My SUV has been waxed within the year and is garage kept.

    The broken mirror collar on my new car ... thanks to  Radiant Express car wash in Auburndale

    ((**Minus five stars**)) On April 28 I took my new Ford fiesta 2017 to radiant Express Car Wash in Auburndale. During the car wash my my mirrors were flung forward and backwards causing my passenger mirror collar to break . At this moment I brought attention to the associate who said they would have the manager. On April 30 I received a phone call at 8 am. The gentleman mention that the cameras showed my car was previously damaged but regarding the dealership that I bought it from on April 27 said there was no damage on the vehicle.. So when I requested to come see the video at 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon when I get off of work he said ok but when arriving at radiant Express Car Wash in Auburndale. He said the video was recorded over so he could not show me. So He request me to take his word that the damage was already there and he refused to pay for the damage on my new vehicle.. So if you care for your vehicle please do not take it do radiant Express Car Wash in Auburndale

    Update:) it rained 2 days after our wash may 4th! We had to…read moredrive to Orlando after the rain , but roads were a mess! When we arrived at our new site we just wiped off the right side ( more dirt and mud from the rain because in an RV focus on staying in the slow lane) Anyways like I was saying, we just wiped it off with paper towels and a little bit of water and the rig is very clean! So I really recommend getting a wash with the spray that was a little bit extra and worth it. I think they called it a ceramic sealant. It's not a true ceramic wash, but it was really good. - Everything from making the appointment to the end was so easy. My class C looks great! Price was fair . I'm moving to camp at a different location, so I'll see how long it last . Thanks for cleaning her up!!

    April 16 & 18 2025…read more I asked for a wash and hand wax. I was quoted $235 for a 19 foot Mercedes sprinter high top. Because it's a class RV the was no waxing to be done on the roof. (Solar panels, Starlink, A/C and full Roof Rack) the roof area is close to 25% of the total vehicle area. So he sends Francis to do the job and it was not a good job by any stretch I had to show him over and over missed areas. Almost the entire driver's door and front fender were rough to the touch, Francis felt it was water spots, And I guess now when they say water spots, they mean For a long time and it really is hard on the paint finish. That was not the case of my Van o2024. It had less then 2500 miles on it. Anyway, I had lengthy discussion with Francis, later Norm. All I wanted was the van washed and hand waxed. And then, in the future I could use Ceramic. Well, I spent $325 for the hand wash and hand wax. $75 For the trim to be coated three times with their Chemical guys brand stuff. And then on the second visit to correct all of the problems with the first visit I was offered by the $600 Polished job for $200. So a total of $600 I paid and the van still had missed spot that you could take a cloth and wipe off so it's just not paying attention to detail while detailing. There were still areas that looks like they were just missed. The driver side door did come out much better when they used a little buffing machine that you would have thought they would use in the first place if they saw that they were wiping over an area And it wasn't just coming off with minimal pressure because they don't believe in elbow grease at Nomad. I'll tell you that. They washed my tires and wheels and put tire shine on them and missed many areas even after going over them twice. And the tires were not shiny certainly not the shine they were in October when I pick the unit up. About every product and process Nomad Wash And Detail uses is substandard and flawed. 3 coats of the chemical guys trim stuff is terrible, And of course, there are missed areas and of course it doesn't last. When I had the discussion with Norm and was explaining that all I wanted was a hand wash and wax like wax on wax off the way I used to do it using the can of Canuba like California Gold or one of those. Norm stated "can wax is a 75 year old technology" The thing, you can't argue with results, or lack of in this instance. Anybody who cares about the work they do could wax my van with turtle wax paste and it would've been far superior to what I got from you guys for $600. Nomad Just seem to be full of themselves like they are and all experts to detailing when in fact, they are terrible at detailing and certainly black professional communication skills with customers. Nomad Wash And Detail is a substandard detailing company grossly overpriced considering the end results. Norm was quick to say he didn't charge you for something, in this case water spot remover. Well, you shouldn't because they didn't need water spot remover. I just needed a little bit of proper waxing or polishing. And since I paid for a waxing and days later a polishing. What next you gonna tell me I need a paint correction? Mercedes paint is inferior? Blame and excuses rather than take responsibility for Nomad Wash and Detailing SHORTCOMINGS. I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AND TOLD THEM IN THE LAST TEXT ADVERTISING TO LOOSE MY NUMBER. This review may be updated from time to time If necessary.

It's kinda strange the way it's laid out: two self service bays in the front plus the automated bay; then two other self serve bays in the back. I'd imagine there's a lot of collisions from the way the place is laid out. There's only a couple vacuums too. Two in the back and one up front. The problem is they only accept coins. No cash or cards. If you need coins you have to walk to the front building to reach the change machine. Lame. Lamer when you consider the north side TNT has free vacuums! As for he actual services well I have to say they do a pretty good job. I went through the automated port and it did a good job of cleaning the car but it didn't get all the bugs off. Plus some other stains and blemishes remained. Thankfully I keep a drying towel in the trunk and I was able to wipe off the spots it missed. I've used the self serve bays a few times. First time I swiped my card and went about 10 minutes but it only charged my card the minimum fee! I used the same bay a few weeks later and it charged me the full price. So if you need to get your car cleaned this place definitely will do the job. If you want or need a professional cleaning you may want to opt for something else.

Stacy (wife) is very responsive and very professional. After confirming date and time for service I found out my wife already had plans and her vehicle would not be available to get serviced. I informed them that only my vehicle would be available and they were very accommodating. The day of service they showed up right on time. Jelani and Terrel (father and son) were very professional and did an amazing detail job on the interior and exterior. The service is definitely worth the (reasonable) price. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Like the saying goes, "Cheap seafood ain't good and good seafood ain't cheap." After they were done I asked if I could get on the schedule to have my wife's vehicle detailed and they scheduled me right away for the following day. Again, they were punctual and showed up when they said they would. Once again, they did an awesome detailing job on my wife's vehicle as they did on mine. I will definitely recommend this, family owned, business to friends and neighbors.
