Marzena S.

By far the worst car wash I've ever experienced. I chose the most expensive expensive package $19. Car was set in neutral to be guided along automatically. The whole thing start to finish took under 20 seconds including dry time. Car came out looking the same way it came in. There was no wax at the end. Everything was filthy just like it came in. Complete joke. I have no clue how they're even in business.

They do a full service wiping down the car which prevents dirt and dust from clinging. Well worth the money.

Decent facilities I suppose, but this place seems designed around what I would consider being a non…read morestandard billing approach that squeezes several extra dollars out of you that you would not expect. I'm used to having a set timer for a set price, and then having to add one dollar at a time if the timer is about to expire. That's a fine approach in my book. Tough at times, but you get good at it. This place gives you a set time, then continuously charges you beyond that time without your need for input. That's great that I dont have to add a dollar if running out of time, but I'd rather have it stop when time is up. Here, however, if you pay credit it'll let it keep charging, and if you drive away when done without hitting stop, your bill will keep climbing. If you try to add more money before the time ends after paying with credit, nothing happens, but it'll stop service and take your cash until you pay again for full service. I stupidly paid credit, visually saw the timer approaching limit and added a physical dollar bill to finish my clean up. Instead of adding time it STOPPED the clock. I was out of singles and had to swipe my card again to rinse the soap off. End result was a $6-7 self serve wash job cost me $21. Could you get a decent deal here? Sure...just know the games they're playing if you pay credit. ...I should note that the credit agreement on the wall explains some of this so long as you actually read it and don't just assume the industry standard rules apply, but they still fail to explain the billing structure beyond the minimum time charged. It says the maximum charge, but no indication of the increments between the minimum and maximum charges.

I have passed this place for 20 years and never tried it. I like the kind where they clean it for…read moreyou. That being said, I had a car to vacuum out and I just wanted it done. I put $1.50 in a vacuum in quarters (which I lost before I realized that the vacuum was not in service), ok maybe my bad I should have noticed, although there was no out of order sign or anything else. I then swipe my card and use another and I decide to give them the benefit of the doubt. A few days later I get mud on my new car and figure I can run over there and just wash it off quick. I made sure I did not exceed the 5 minute minimum for $5 but what do you know I look at my statement and they have charged me the full $15 maximum charge. Not happy. It cost me $15 to spend les then 5 minutes washing my car MYSELF. Negative Stars for you.. I do not recommend.

As one other reviewer said, hands down, the best car wash I've ever been to. Please refer to…read moreRosanna G's review on 10/7/22. She just about said it all. Not sure what she got that cost $75. I would add two things. First, they give veterans 10% off on Tuesdays. I went a few weeks ago, got the discount and they cleaned my entire GMC 2500 inside and out for $26. I had a hard time telling the difference between the $275 detailing that I get from another great guy and what these guys did for $26. It was spotless and shiny. It did take about 30 minutes, but was totally worth it. I just went back today and for $17 (plus the $3 tip I gave them), the outside of my truck is spotless again. Tires and wheels shined. Everything. All by hand. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They are my new go-to car wash and I'm happy to travel 30 minutes to get to them. There are no hand washes closer to me and none of the automated ones even come close to the quality work these guys do. Oh, yeah, the second thing is that the name of the car wash is now Optimo Car Wash #6. Still at 191 Shunpike Rd in Cromwell.

This is not your normal drive through car wash. This is an exterior hand washed and interior…read morecleaning , car "wash." A group of men swarm your car and hand wash the exterior. Depending on which package you purchase, you will also get your interior cleaned. For somewhere around $75 they will wash your car and thoroughly clean and polish the inside! They do a FANTASTIC job. For the price, you can't beat it. Just know what you are getting into before you head over - this process takes time. They have both indoor and outdoor seats to wait for you car.

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE TO USE DOLLAR COINS! EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS,…read morePUBLIC AND PRIVATE, IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! This is not the only place that uses the dollar coin system. In fact, it can work to your advantage, because a lot of things are just a dollar, including the vacuums, for which you get four minutes. I have a little 2-seater, so it's perfect for me. And for my truck, 8 minutes is well worth two dollars. I usually use the self-service bays. Fortunately, their wheel cleaner ACTUALLY REMOVES BRAKE DUST, unlike some of the other places of this ilk in the area. Powerful cleaners that are actual solvents for grease... that's a plus! If you have a small car, and don't have OCD, you can get your car clean for $4. $3 at the self service bay, $1 at the vacuum. You can't be mad at that, even if the machines only took Eisenhower dollar coins :D.

Absolutely the worst experience. Today, two workers were working over a prospect for a monthly…read moresubsciption, 10 plus minutes later being next line they were still tying to sell them. I waived the service technitian over to the passenger side window where I was sitting and expressed my deep frustration and asked with why they could not just ask the prospect move to the side so we could get on with our busy day. Getting a car wash isn't supposed to be a 15 minute wait while your next in line while they pitch their monthly subsciption. As soon as I complained he said I better be quiet or he will pull my monthly pass, and turn me away. He was threatening both verbally and physically while I was sitting in my car. I then asked my wife to go through the wash as I exited the car. we could not turn around due to a line. I got out of my car to speak to him or other technichian at this point to cancel my monthy subsciption he then said I was using foul language towards him which I was not, and told me he would cancel my subscription based upon my complaint after 15 minutes still waiting in line. I felt threatened, and removed myself from the situation so as not to have him continue to make threats. All I asked was to cancel my monthly due to his rude and unprofessiobal tone. This person has no business interacting with customers or anyone else for that matter. They arn't the only car wash in town. My wife was present and was nervous, and we are both canceling.
