    Sammy's got the seats shined up nicely - they needed it
    John G.

    I'm always wary of the auto repair business. I expect to get screwed so my defenses are up when I arrive. The industry just has that reputation and it must be hard for operations in that field to overcome that assumption by not only me but a lot of people. The way they win my trust is by delivering a great service that's consistent and dependable and giving me consultation that doesn't feel like an up sell. Happy to say that Sammy's Auto Spa delivered on both. It was my first trip there and upon checking in, Victor, my service specialist, gave me options and let me know what they could provide, and how long it would take. My car wasn't in terrible shape but Sammy's made a strong effort to really shine it up. They thoroughly cleaned and buffed up my interior/trunk and washed down the outside, following up with a hand wax. My car looks and smells great and the price wasn't bad - about $150 or so. Everyone in this town seems to automatically default to Sax in Grandview for detailing, which I think is a mistake considering their customer service approach is pretty lousy and their location is really run down. Sammy's is a much better alternative even though you pay a little more. Also, it's best to have someone meet you there and go do some other things while Sammy's works on your car vs. sticking around for it to be done - the waiting area is more designed for a very brief wait and can be somewhat uncomfortable if you choose to stay because it is actually situated inside the garage where they work.

    Ok so I detail cars and this was my go to spot for car washes, especially in the winter. Unfortunately I found out I had been getting fine scratches in my paint. I would only notice it in direct sunlight. Turns out I figured out how... While Sammy's uses clean micro fiber towels but they are old and we're leaving micro abrasions in my paint. Plus you can't clean micro fiber towels with normal laundry detergent. It can cause streaks when drying and if you dry to hot, it can causes scratches in the paint. I do want to say that it is a Indoor car wash and they do it by hand. I was pretty impressed by the quality of work here, friendly staff, exceptional work. I'm just OCD when it comes to my paint.

    The car is getting cleaned

    Update: I went back the next day to allow them the opportunity to fix it. Lets just say I will NEVER go back to Sammys. Ive been going to Sammy's for years. Something has changed and in a bad way...see pics. I spent $140 on an interior detail and a regular wash. I dropped my car off at 11:15am and cleaned it out for about 10 minutes. (I didn't realize the trunk was a part of the service) They called me at 3:15PM and said "1 more hour". At 4:15PM, he said "I need 30-40 more minutes." At 5:00, I had to stop him and ask for my keys. I just couldn't take it. (I had my 7 month old at the drop off and the pick up) So as Im driving off, mad as EVER, I called repeatedly...each time I noticed another blemish! A lady (who wasn't on site at the pick up) answers and I express my frustration. Im sure she was 100% aware that her 1 young son and an 1 older gentleman wouldn't be able to keep up, alone. She didn't seem to care. She offered to finish it tomorrow?! Keep in mind they had it onsite from 11:30-4:30. AFTER TODAY, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD RETURN?! They did HALF the work, in TRIPLE the time and I paid the entire quoted price. Smh...

    Truly a hand was car wash in Ohio. The guys here washed it like and treated it like it was their own car. The prices were great to. Please keep in mind it's not a machine wash, they do it by hand. I paid $30 for my SUV. Great thing is that they are open all year too. Keep up the great job. Also keep in mind when you come here to get your car washed, don't judge a book by its cover very friendly staff.

    While visiting Ohio, we took our Ram Longhorn in for a much needed wash. It was covered with bugs from as far south as Florida to Canada. The owner and her (that's right folks, HER) crew cleaned our white beast so well it looked better than when we bought it. Not only do they do a supberb job, they are very friendly, professional and reasonably priced.

    I happened to be across the street from this car wash today and decided to see if they could wax mine while I waited. They could and did. It's an old car and looks better than it did.

    It's so hard to find a great hand wash car shop that does not charge a crazy amount in Columbus so I'm extra thankful I found this place.

This one you have a little bit of a straight path before you enter, which is really nice, especially if you're like me and you're constantly driving different cars into the car wash and you really don't have a sense of where your wheel well is. Speaking of wheels and entering the car wash wheel track For some reason this location rushes you to get on it and it seems like they're not looking at your car and then right when you get up there they're shocked that you're not in alignment that is the only reason why I've not given us a five star More often than not I can feel my car not making a smooth entry and that bothers me because I feel that it messes up my wheels a little bit or my tire and that's not cool As far as a value, this is excellent if you buy the monthly pass, you can go in as many times as you want I wish I could say I go in as many times as I want I tend to go maybe four or five times a month I still feel I'm getting my moneys worth, but I definitely could wash my car a little more frequently. C'est la vie. I do recommend this location however when you're leaving it be careful. It has a very steep drop. Give yourself a little bit of an angle so you don't bottom out your car.

Shout out to one of the best attendants too. I recently signed up for the Unlimited Car Wash Membership and giving it a try. I went with the Whole Protect & Shine package for $30 + tax. A single was is $12 for the plan so sure I can make it worth it. Good to know they recycle water too.

I saw a members line, which I was not, so I went to the other open lane. I chose the $15 wash and the woman in the window told me about their special offer of a $5 first month membership. She explained everything and I said why not? It is unlimited washes at all locations and I can cancel at any time. It goes up to $30 for additional months, but you can also change the levels. She gave me the dust wipe and air freshener; she said next time I can just roll my window down and the first attendant will give me another set. It was easy to pull in with the help of attendants and I had a nice wash,and used the free vacuums. I have never been one to frequently use a car wash, but I will use it often.

    All-belt conveyor, and only soft cloth car wash. Yes please!…read more I love the conveyor belt. This way your wheels won't accidentally get pushed over the rail. Additionally all of the brushes are soft. Bug mess on your grill? They have a station for that. I like that everybody can get free hanging car fresheners and dash wipes, not just the VIPs. The car freshener smells really great, like a nice cologne and it's not ridiculously strong. The car wash does an excellent job getting my car clean and the free vacuums are always helpful to have. Overall I really like this car wash and I love the monthly plans because who doesn't like unlimited washes? --- Follow @ohiofoodlover for more Ohio eats ---
