I drove into the self-service car wash from the wrong side (even though at 10 PM there were no other cars and it didn't affect anything). The man who approached me was extremely rude and disrespectful. Terrible service. A small chip of paint flew off my roof because the rinse pressure was extremely strong, and he ran over threatening to call the police on me for "littering" with paint. Meanwhile, I was the one affected and already felt awful about the damage to my car and his earlier rude behavior. I strongly do not recommend this car wash because of the staff. read more

Poor customer service, wife took our truck there to get cleaned and a employee was giving her a hard time about washing it because he said the "truck is muddy" when in fact it wasn't muddy only dusty and then proceeded to tell my wife that she can't wash the truck bed as soon as she open the tailgate but she only did that to see what little trash was there that needs to be thrown.. Isn't a car wash a place where you should be able to clean your vehicle if you have paid for the service??? read more

0 stars! Owner threatened to PHYSICALLY hurt me/remove me even after i told him the stuff was not trash but i was cleaning my carpets before putting my stuff back in the car. Our interaction wasn't even 5 seconds before he started to act very hostile towards me and accusing me of things. i was vacuuming my carpets and he came up saying if i had put money first? like yes? And proceeded to harass me, said he call the cops, and take a picture of my plate. saying i wasn't moving fast enough when i went to pick up my stuff. Not worth your time, can't even clean your car in peace. i've cleaned here before no problem, never left a mess. always picked up after myself! Owner is un professional, and rude. read more

As many reviews have already stated, the machines WILL overcharge you and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Also getting less time for more for vacuum strength is already a ridiculous concept. Such a low quality car wash place that overcharges you. Make sure to dispute the bank charge read more

Rainbow Carwash - The sign says 2 dollars but was charged 10 dollars. - Car Wash Near Me - Renton, Washington

The Rainbow Carwash in Oxford Al, is falling apart and soon will not be worth going to. It experiences machine break downs on a regular basis. When it first opened it was the best in the area. Now it is probably one of the worst. It needs to be redone to bring it back to the preferred car wash in the area. I am considering canceling my membership and going elsewhere. read more

This place is the worse. Vacuum overcharged me by $5 and can't find a way to get a refund. Their $17 drive thru car wash does not do a thorough job. read more

Yikes. Should have read the reviews... went more for the fun of it for the kids but the wash itself is not worth the $17. The rear of my car is super spotty and downright unwashed in some spots. Not worth it read more

I went to wash my car off due to all the snow recently and the stall I was at didn't have a sign saying the coin deposit part was not working after the fact I walked to get change so therefore I had to use my card and they charge by time used. The owner/manager or whoever with their bucket came and opened the machine just as I was done with my wash and they didn't say anything nor acknowledge me at all so I just stood and waited (mind you I am getting charged) until he walked away to the other worker and was talking about what was stuck in the machine. As soon as I got closer he turned around and seen me and still didn't say anything so I stopped the machine while it was open so I wouldn't be charged for HIS TIME and not mines. He still never acknowledged me nor said anything but stared at me . At the least you could of apologized for me waiting on him and offered to reimburse me for waiting on him bit no, NOTHING. read more

Used the self serve car wash bay. Was only able to rinse my vehicle off because nothing else worked. Stopped clock after 2 minutes and was charged $15. read more

Windows are still dirty, and I paid for the most expensive wash. The car itself is still super dirty. I'll be going to Big Bear wash tomorrow. Super upset. read more

I've used the drive through car wash a few times no problem. Well, today, I paid but it was glitching and didn't work. As opposed to rushing to write a bad review about the machine, I decided to reach out to Karl, (through Facebook messenger on their business page) who sent one of his employees Connor to the car wash to compensate me by letting me go through the drive through again (free of additional charge) this time with a working machine. My car is happy, I'm happy, and I'm leaving this review as a thank you for awesome customer service. This was resolved in less than 15 minutes. You made my day, guys! Thank you!! read more

Came here because my go-to no touch car wash was out of service. Thought this was a no touch car wash - it is not. That said, I think it's gentler than Brown Bear. It take a while to get out. I don't think it rinses you off thoroughly but if you're not picky, this is fine. I went through the DIY car wash to rinse off more and probably didn't need to do that, but I wanted to be thorough. I'd say the DIY car was not as nice as Brown Bear. You have to use a knob to control whether it's ON and which service you're using. I got confused about how to turn it off and stop the charge on my card but figured it out. Make sure the knob is on STOP before you pay, otherwise the water/soap will automatically jet out and hit you on the feet - which happened to me. I'd come back if I had to, but I was not a big fan. read more

They have charged my card $15 for one vacuum. This is totally ridiculous! They'res nobody to call or contact. Not happy!!

Stopped the wash at $4.25 and the next day it charged me $6.00. I want my $1.75 back from whoever the thief is that owns this shit car wash. I've got plenty of time on my hands so I will find you. It's not really about the money but the principal of the matter so prepare yourself you cunt. read more

I keep making the same mistake coming back here so I'm reviewing the business to not forget again! The automatic wash has broken on me before and just doesn't do a good job. But the main reason I'm writing this is to warn customers about the hard water from the self serve bays. If you do not immediately dry your car you will have water spots everywhere... water spots that even after washing will leave an outline that only goes away after you clay bar and buff with compounds. Do yourself a favor and invest in your own high pressure sprayer or vacuum instead of wasting money here. read more

I have been taking my boat here for at least 5 years at the end of fishing season to clean it. Never had a problem until 9/29/22. I Put $5.00 in turned it to soap. No soap after spraying it all down I saw a guy and asked why there was no soap. He came over and was a total a** h*** he started yelling I could not wash a boat in there. I asked where the sign was stating that, I have been doing it for years. He yelled I F****** own this place and can tell you what you can and can't do! I say stay away from there !! He has zero respect for the public! read more

This is probably the place that I'm going to visit very often now. I never realized this car wash was so close to my house. I love how you can do all the manual car wash without having a huge line waiting like any Brown Bear Car wash. I don't prefer doing the automated car wash system because it's not going to spotless clean in my opinion. $3 to start the system, usually it last for about 4 mins. read more

Rainbow Carwash - Car Wash Near Me - Renton, Washington

This is the second time I have been here and this past experience was not what I anticipated. I drove into the self wash station and swiped my card. I began to use the sprayer and then the soap brush. While I was using the soap brush the water would not turn off completely and kept spraying even though I was not using it. It seemed a bit wasteful to me. I decided to just stop the time and go use the automatic car wash instead. When I went to push stop, the machine continued to run and I watched my card being charged, with dismay. I looked around for an attendant and a man approached and stopped the machine for me, and I was grateful. Then, he asked how much money I had lost and I replied " I don't know, maybe 2 dollars." He looked me dead in the eye and said "I know it's not that much in 30 seconds, and my dad owns this Carwash." All I wanted was to get some dirt off my car so I was going to spend money anyway. The attendant asked if I was going to use the automatic Carwash and if so, he would take care of it. He also told me to make sure to hang everything back up, as if I were a child who needed to be told what to do. I felt disrespected as a customer but was still being polite. Before I drove into the automatic car wash, the man handed me 2 tokens to use for the vacuum. Later, I checked my bank account and I have an additional charge of $10 on top of what I paid for the automatic car wash. Hopefully, this is an error on their part. All in all, the customer service was rather demeaning and so I will not be returning. read more

I have been here many times. I prefer washing the vehicles manually. My major issue is this - the paystations consistently overcharge. I zipped in briefly recently to do a quick spray off of my car. When I was done the "charge" was less than $5.00 (the timer kept running for several seconds after I pressed the stop button.) When I checked online later in the day, my card had been charged $10.00; more than double my usage. read more

Many have complained about faulty equipment and having money taking and unaware how to get ahold of the owner. I am here to help. Set a piece of trash on the ground and he will show up, treat you like a criminal, berate you, and yell in a threatening manner while calling the cops. But at least then you could ask for a refund I suppose. read more

Garbage of a business! The owner of this place is the absolute worst owner ever. This morning I was minding my business with my little brother cleaning out my car. When the owner came over and yelled to me I just got done blowing this and your leaving your trash everywhere. Pick it up now or I'll kick you out of this place I own it and I can do whatever I want. I responded calmly that I am paying for my services and will pick up whatever I may have dropped when I am done cleaning my car out! He wouldn't even let me finish and told my brother I speak to you like a dog since you want to live like a dog. Yes my car was dirty but that's why I went to clean it! Now I have a no trespassing order against me since he wanted to call the cops over a piece of paper and a rose petal from vacuuming my car that dropped out. I even asked him to go harass someone else but instead only wanted to harass me! I get a no trespassing and he gets to keep my money and gets to talk to people however he wants to because it's his business. Ridiculous worst place ever. I hope he loses his business for good! The whole entire time since I pulled in he was watching and waiting for an opportunity to harass me. A total asshole! read more

Rainbow Carwash - Owner of the business! - Car Wash Near Me - Renton, Washington

I was on the hunt for a self wash and to be honest it's not that bad really, just some minor stuff and kinda pricey. I brought a bucket with me and a sponge glove to save the extra dollars that clock on the timer there and took my time. There is someone there to answer questions but they were to carried away doing what ever they were doing to answer questions properly. Towels cost money here, support the business;) read more

to the little guy if you are going to approach people PLEASE DON'T APPROACH PEOPLE WITHOUT A MASK ON AND STAY 6 FEET AWAY I pulled into Renton rainbow car wash to rinse my car off as I have been for many years and this little guy comes running up and tells me I pulled into the wash stall the wrong way and that it's okay this one time! lol okay or what? calm down little guy you seemed highly upset for something so minut don't worry it wont happen again as i wont ever go here again. after that he just lingered for the entire time I was there I didn't stay very long as I felt creeped out he literally would not leave I took some pictures while I was sitting in my car of him just acting like he's sweeping I don't know what's up with this guy but he's very uptight I used the tap and go and now I'm worried that I got charged $10 for nothing. read more

So I recently started going to car washes around Renton, I'm very picky because I want the best for my car. I've tried a couple places in Renton. I saw this car wash as I was driving by so I gave it a shot. My car wasn't all that dirty; just a little dust here and there. I paid $10 for the deluxe car wash........ Yeah never again will I go to this car wash. never! I don't like giving bad review but damn! The reason why I paid $10 was because I wanted the wax since my car is new. Yeah bad idea when the wax wasn't rinsed off. My car is black so it came out looking bad. I was very disappointed & mad because I had to wax it myself. read more

Had reviewed a lot comments saying the cause of damage or scratch on the wash bay due to poor equipments. Couldn't agree more about the lousy services. I'd rather stop at BrownBear where I can get a higher level of a job done with satisfaction. Overall, they need to improve quality of their machines , this one still doing far better than most of the private owned car washes in Renton area. read more

I've been going to this car wash for years and it has always been exactly as expected and works great. This morning I went through with my CRV for the 30th time (if I'm estimating) and it damaged my car. My back windshield wiper is now broken and the metal is bent. My $10 car wash is now costing me money in repairs. Do not got here! read more

Rainbow Carwash - Damage from car wash - Car Wash Near Me - Renton, Washington

Our "deluxe wash" was stalled less than half way through. We sat in front of a spinning brush for nearly 5 minutes, which didn't move until I finally exited the bay. I was left with a soapy car and 12 less bucks to show for it. I tried to call the business to ask if it was safe for me to drive out from in front of the stuck, spinning brush, and the listed phone number was a fax machine. Needless to say, I won't be coming back here for the auto-wash. I will also make it my personal mission to deter any other people from coming here. I am a patient person, and rarely leave negative reviews... but the fact that my time was wasted, money stolen with no recourse in sight, and coming away with a dirty car, which I will have to pay or wash on my own has really burned my fuse down to a nub. read more

This is my usual place to wash my car I do it myself I heard some people mess their cars up in the drive thru so I avoid it but great place usually don't have to wait long or wait at all to wash my car and staff keeps place clean read more

Horrible vacuums! They have no suction power. This wasn't my first try either. I had to vacuum same section at least 3-4 times.

The soap was not rinsed off my car. I could see it running down my windows. I had to drive home and rinse my car off with a hose.

I go to Rainbow to get my truck washed. The drive thru did a great job. I was surprised. I've also used the wash yourself. Clean and well kept. Haven't had very good luck other places. If your in the Renton Highlands and need a wash. Try them. read more

This is a local carwash not to far from where we live. Its great overall, but for a while their automatic carwash had a lot of problems. The owners finally upgraded the unit with a better one. Has a couple of bays for self washing, couple of vacuum stations and even vending machines for vehicle cleaning supplies. Also like that its open 24/7 read more

Since having a bad experience with the automated wash a couple of years ago, I have only used the 'manual' wash. The equipment in the individual bays is generally pretty reliable, and there is usually someone on site during the day. I was pretty disappointed to see the 'spot free' final rinse go away some time ago, however. Don't drive away with the intention of 'air drying' your car on the road. The rinse water is hard here, and you'll be left with horrid water spots on your windows and paint that are very hard to remove. read more

First time today using this car wash. Attendant in the car wash saw me conclude my transaction, then got upset as I drove into the Carwash with him off to the side after he looked at me. I told him I thought he saw me and that the light was green. He continued to inform me that it was not safe and that I could leave his car wash if I didn't like it. Real solid interaction, I hope the rest of "his" employees aren't as customer oriented as this guy. Too many Carwash options out there. I won't be returning with any of my vehicles. read more

This is a new-ish (maybe one year old) car wash that has it all! It has maybe ten vaccum stations, several areas for self-wash, and a drive-through wash. The drive-through is quick and inexpensive (about $9 for a full-service wash) and high quality. I've been very pleased and usually go through about twice a month. There are also several car-wash accessory vending machines and a convenient change maker. I particularly appreciate that the car-wash is open 24/7. read more

I've used this car wash multiple times the last couple of years. Yes, it doesn't always get my tailgate and back window clean, but does a decent job. However, when I used this facility on Dec. 29, 2019 my credit card was compromised!!! How do I know? It was the only time I had used this card other than my bills on auto pay. I tried the phone number on Google for this car wash and I get a fax sound, no one answers. Hope no one else is a victim like I was. Guess I need to use cash... read more
