Dashboard still gross
Kristie C.

Not Impressed at all. I read a lot of good reviews about this place but I just left after I receiving a gold level car wash. I can see spots all over my glass, streaky leather seats, dusty compartments still....and they took 30 mins to do this, I don't get it. All that time and my car just looks "basically " cleaned.

Prices
Kim C.

First time here, it was easy to access and the staff was friendly and helpful. Prices are pretty reasonable and they even offer coffee and rides for the kids. They took great care of my car and I will definitely be a returning customer.

These are the pictures from when I got home, after I already told them to clean up what they didn't already do.

I've been told to not go to this car wash and wish I listened. Just spent about 40$ on an interior and exterior wash for my car. When they called me over because it was ready there was still dirt streaks, bird poop, and sap all over my car. I pointed it out to them and 2 of them men working cleaned what I pointed out off. Another guy came over and was like where is all this stuff ur talking about and I told him the other guys already cleaned it off but he kept asking me where it was. After I put everything back in my center console that was just thrown and left on the seat of my car, I left. When I got home I took these photos. ITS STILL DIRTY!! For the price I just paid for this, this is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to tell people how to do their job. The sap marks in these photos easily come off with my nail so I don't understand how they couldn't have gotten them off at the car wash which I paid them to do. Wish I could take back the tip I left in the box before seeing that my car was still dirty. The only reason I've ever came here is because it's the closest one to my house. From now on I will be going to the car wash in Centereach where they are a lot nicer and actually care about doing their job rather than doing a half ass job and sending you on your way.

great work done here. my car looks amazing! thank you, i will be back for my next car wash

I really enjoy coming to get my car washed. There is a lot of options to chose from and they are all clearly marked of what you get with it. The start I docked: I have two dogs and I know dog hair on cloth seats can be practically glued in but I have to specifically ask them to get as much hair as they can get out.

Took me literally an hour to clean all the excess splattered tire shine off all my plastic trim and my freshly washed paint. Ridiculous.

I have been here twice and I can safely say I will never be back. The first time I was here with my old car which had some scratches on the paint and the interior had seen better days so it was hard to gauge the full extent of the cleaning job done on the car. I wasn't super impressed compared to other places in the area but I figured I would give them another try. I have a new car which is only 3 weeks old so it was really easy to see areas where they did a crap job. My first issue is that I paid for a gold wash which is supposed to include foam wax, but I watched my car run through and the foam wax equipment never went on or dispensed. This wash level is supposed to also come with a special tire scrub which I noticed was never done either. As I sat and waited I watched the cars running through the tunnel and never once did the equipment for the add ons like foam wax ever turn on, even if the person paid for a gold or platinum wash. SCAM. Also, I watched them working on finishing the cars and they do the exact same procedure on every vehicle, so you might as well just get the Silver wax since you're only getting it anyway no matter what you pay for. They did an ok job of vacuuming, there wasn't much to clean since my car is only weeks old, but they did a horrible job on my windows. My windows left more streaky and smudgy than before the wash and I had to go in and clean them again when I got home. There were areas on my paint that were also smudged and looked worse than before the wash. They also use a sprayer to apply the tire shine and it splattered greasy spots of tire shine all over my paint and the plastic trim around the wheels and bottom of my car, which I had to then go in and clean up as well and it has left stains on the plastic which I hope eventually come out otherwise I am going to be majorly pissed. I suggest you take your car elsewhere, I'm sticking with Eager Beaver from now on, they do a better job and actually do the wash you pay for. Just to clarify, it was the foam wax arch that didn't light up, not the hot wax... they are clearly marked with what they are and I can read. They also say they will light up when being applied, nothing lit up or dispensed from the foam wax for my car or any other car that went through. I shouldn't have to ask for a manager to get the service I paid for, ridiculous... and I'm not the only one who paid for a gold wash and didn't get any wax. Another reviewer made the same complaint, clearly this is common practice.

Getting cleaned! Inside and out. Quality work always
Daniel S.

The quality and care that went into the thorough cleaning of my work vehicle was top notch. I left this establishment with an extremely positive impression. I will be bringing my personal vehicle here in the near future. I had some concerns with height restrictions (as I could not get my Ford Transit cleaned here) for the Chevy Tahoe, but they were able to clear it well into the facility. The wash did the car some good and the follow-up by the attendant afterwards was very personal - as if he treated the car as his own. The car looked absolutely mint on the inside and out. The attendant even cleaned the Weather-tech floor mats to be spotless. I have not yet experienced such top notch service for a service contract. See you soon!

Didn't get his name but that's their "boss" working on my keyed car

This place will go above and beyond for customer service. Came in today for exterior and interior clean, and my car had a front to back scratch on one side. The guys and their boss really worked on it and my car looks brand new again! Clean and no more eyesore scratch Also, they are not like other places who would rip off customers and offer customers unnecessary services (i am always a victim of that because i dont know anything about cars) lol I will 100% come back and recommend to friends and family

Long lines. Get here by 4-5am

See all

Good car wash, except don't leave anything worth keeping out in the open. An employee threw out a very expensive RFID tag for my job.

Eager Beaver Car Wash - Still wet they didnt even wipe it

Eager Beaver Car Wash

(103 reviews)

Went there 20 years ago and thought I'd check it out. Car was dirty…read more Treated myself and went with the Full Service Best. Car exterior still has dirty spots, trunk wasn't opened to clean the top of the bumper, streaks on interior of windshield, dust on doors. The wheels are nice. The interior smells nice. The carpets and mats are fine. Seats are clean. But I'll go to my regular spot next time. 2 stars for purchasing the best and getting a mediocre wash.

This is a new review for this car wash for me. My last review several years ago was positive. This…read moreone is not positive. On Saturday I brought my wife's car in for an exterior wash. As we're going through the tunnel I noticed the brush on the drivers side is not working, just hanging there like a wet noodle. I mentioned it to the guy at the end of the tunnel but he just shrugged his shoulders. Next stop the guy to dry the car and polish the tires. Well the put a lot of effort into pretending to polish the tires. Sunday morning I take my car in for the same wash. Brush is still not working. So I mention it to the guy drying my car. He says oh yea I heard that. I guess there's no plan to fix it. I noticed that the mirror that's not getting brushed is filthy. The dryer guy doesn't seem to care, why should he. Next he puts a dirty rag on my windshield while pretending to polish my tires which left a big smudge. I ask him to clean it and he looks me like I have a lot of nerve. So let's get down to the nitty gritty. In my business I'm very familiar with this type of business. They're known as "cash cows ". That's right stand a couple of monkeys outside and just collect the money. Well what I typically see is when a business starts having financial problems they stop maintaining the equipment. Could this be the case? You decide for yourself. I've already decided and I'm not going back.

Island Car Wash - Didn't wipe down any of the dash board or shifter

Yea don't bother, I got the Platinum, the one with TLC…read more. Over $60 with tip. Windows were definitely not cleaned inside. Top of car glass roof stained with dry soap and not cleaned. No attention to details in the car wasn't even dirty. I watched in amazement as the previous car wash owner went to the service people to get a rag three times to wipe her car, and now I know why. Go elsewhere to spend your money or just get exterior wash!

They have 2 stars for a reason... literally just came from this place and I have never in my life…read moreseen a business care so little about their service reputation and their patrons... unless this place is laundering money, idk how they are still in business... i paid $60!!!!! for a carwash, I would've done better with the money if I had just thrown it in in the TRASH... The car looked dirtier after the wash than before the wash... Hard to believe??? Look at the armrest... I asked the manager if they could do a better job after showing him all the spots that they missed and created... he still said no... as a costumer I pulled the only card I had left and said I wouldnt patronage his establishment again if he could not right this wrong and he boldly said "I don't care if you don't come back, I wouldnt want you back here anyway" So here I am hoping to warn others. This place does not care to actually wash your car in a satisfactory way... save your money, save the hassle, go somewhere that cares or do it yourself.
