I was flying all around great Ocala looking for a car wash that did complete interior cleaning. Well, when I drove up to Soapy's, Autumn greated me like a long time customer! She provided what seemed like every service option imaginable for both exterior and interior washing from a car wash with pamphlets, explanations thereof, the works. With that noted, I was mission driven and wanted only to have a full clean of the interior without any unnecessaries. She priced it out to something fair, set expectations of a handful of hours to include drying the cloth upholstry, etc. When I returned, the car was in immaculate condition, and Autumn was there to answer any further questions I had. The best service I've ever received from a car wash and is my new favorite car wash place. read more

Paid $75 for a hand wash and still had bug debris on windows and front end. I mentioned this to the employee and he basically just shrugged his shoulder s. I will be canceling the monthly subscription for my other car and will not return to this place. read more

Manager walks around looking at his phone and watch when there are 10 cars waiting to have the interior cleaned, does not jump in to help his staff. Very under staffed for a Friday afternoon, read more

This was my first time going here and I paid 42 dollars for an outside and inside cleaning. I am very disappointed with the service. There was still trash in the car, scuffs on the leather seats, and dirty on the floor and in between the seats. I don't know if they just didn't care because they thought we wouldn't notice because we are teenagers or they just didn't want to clean it properly. I've never left a bad review before but I was just not satisfied at all. Also the blonde lady at the pay booth was not nice and since it was our first here we didn't know what to do and she barely said a word to us. read more

Mediocre wash used for an oler car I own. The ONLY reason I used them was for the $5 Wednesday wash, which, was discontinued. So, no need to go back as there are many other better car wash companies out there. read more

First time visit to Soapy's on 6 January 2026. Kevin M was the best at the order booth. The monthly special he suggested was an incredible value. He and all the staff were awesome and provided exemplary service. They were exceptionally fast, efficient, and friendly, and our vehicle looked nearly new after not having any attention for a very long time. Thanks to Kevin M and all the Soapy's team. We would highly recommend to any and all. read more

I called today to find a full service car wash for my SUV as it is in dire need of a cleaning and I found one! I spoke with Kevin who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! He explained all the services and prices to me in great detail! I will definitely be going to Soapys in the very near future! Thanks again Kevin! read more

Best car wash in town! All the workers are so friendly and they did an amazing job on our truck! The manage even buffed out a spot that was on our truck from a golf cart hitting me! This is our new go to car wash and it's also the only one that cleans the inside and again they did AMAZING!!! read more

Excellent service, with friendly staff, attention to detail, and my car has never looked better!

I prefer contactless car washes. However the personalized service here is great. The wipe down is nice. The customer lounge with massage chairs is fabulous. But if I truly want to make sure my car ends up not getting scratched when going through the "BIG MACHINE" nor being treated like a lesser than ... human being of a car. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else. read more

Soapy's Carwash - Car Wash Near Me - Ocala, Florida

1st issue, the guy at the payment booth. Wanted me to buy a monthly membership. I explain the reason why I didn't need one. He kept asking me the same question in a different floormats. 2nd, A windshield company works working the carwash waiting room and every one that comes in needed some type of Windshield repair. Including myself. My car was perfectly fine. No chips or cracks as they claimed in my windshield. I was asked 3 times if I want my windshield replaced. 3rd , 1 hour 47 minutes to get a car cleaned outside and Inside . I won't go back. I will pay more and have someone come to my house. Thanks, read more

If you've ever read my previous car wash reviews you know my theory is that they're all owned by the mafia. Although Soapy's does slightly exceed my incredibly low car wash expectations, they are still a questionable establishment. I personally believe there is a ton of room for improvement in the entire car wash industry. Soapy's does have cute "Florida-esque" names for things. The "crabby" the "seagull" the "turtle shell wax" etc. however the washes are extremely overpriced. At $8.99 for the cheapest one! Up to $11.99 and more for just a basic car wash. I have never had the interior of my car detailed here, though that is something they offer for an equally outrageous price. Additionally, I chose the $11.99 wash because YOLO, and the tri color foam soap which was noted as an enhancement for this option wasn't even used as my car was cleaned. The staff is questionable and unfriendly at best- and they very conspicuously demand tips as they're drying off the cars. I feel guilty and slightly afraid for my life, so begrudgingly I crack my window to slip them $2. Car washes should have seizure warnings as the machines, soaps, lights and spray all are incongruent and potentially dangerous to those with epilepsy. Soapy's is also in need of new signage and a paint job. read more

Soapy's Carwash - Car Wash Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Easy and convenient, staffs took time to clean and price is good. They have free coffee bar but ran out of water.

Tyler at Soapy's always does an outstanding job. My GMC Denali is sparkling top to bottom, from inside out. His attention to detail is like none other. So friendly and works fast and hard to get all done. Excellent job by all there. Happy to be a member. read more

What a great little car wash! You can't beat that five dollar Wednesday deal. I especially like the personalize service no machine you actually get to talk to a real person when you get there. read more

I needed to get the inside of a rental cleaned. And they only have two employees and they do one car at a time.

Got the star wash. One car behind me left before they even started on mine. The big guy "cleaning," our car spent more time using the air compressor to fan himself than cleaning the car. He then proceeded to eat his bag of Doritos before starting on my car. I've never seen someone move slower in my life. I got home by the time I realized they didn't even vacuum ANYTHING on the passenger side (floor under the mat, seats, nothing). Also, it took an HOUR AND A HALF, and three cars that were behind me left before my car was done. Will never go back. Total insanity. read more

Soapys in absolutely the only Carwash I trust with my car! Consistently best customer service and my car always looks great inside and out and completed in a reasonable time! read more

Best car wash in town! I came in for the Star Wash & Interior and it was well worth the cost. The inside was vacuumed well and wiped down clean. The car smelled fresh and the outside was spotless. The staff seemed nice and was working hard, well worth the tip. read more

Great carwash. Friendly staff. Happy to hear there are new owners! Will be back!!

Absolutely the best car wash in town! Excellent value and great staff! What more can you ask for?!?

I received a free car wash coupon from Kia since they didn't get a chance to wash my car. A few days later while trying to kill time before an appointment, I decided to use it. While in the car wash I was scouring my purse for cash for a tip. I came up with a $1.50 in quarters....I felt bad, but thought at least I found something, since it was an unplanned visit to the car wash. While at the towel dry station, I rolled down the window and handed the quarters to a girl who was helping. I said "I'm sorry this is all I could come up with." She said "oh I don't work for soapy's, just the window company, so I'm not sure what they do with this." Then the man who dried the car turned and rudely said "We use it at the gum ball machine that's what we do with that" and rolled his eyes and tossed the quarters in the tip bin. I apologized again but he didn't look back at me. He really made me feel like crap and wished I didn't even open my window and tip anything! Maybe he could just be appreciative of any money he's getting. Or maybe they can put the tip container in reach of the driver, so there doesn't even have to be any pressure about the tip. Okay rant over. read more

Had 2 of our vehicles done, total of bill $62.10. Exterior still had pollen on spots, dirt marks, inside the door handles was filthy. I keep my car immaculate so very little needs to be done. Liquid filled my coin carrier, cup holder, I had to ask one of the gentlemen working their to give ME a rag to clean it out. Also, some spots near the shifter, had a couple sticky marks which I proceeded to show the worker how to clean. When I went to leave, approximately 3pm, sun on my windshield, the windshield was dirtier than befote I took my auto to Soapy's. Interior nor vacumed, still pieces in the back compartment area. So what did I get for MY $32.05, angry. Tried to call the next day and the phone would pick up and then hang up. Do 't waste you valuable time and $$$. read more

55$ for an inside and out car wash that took 2 hrs 15 minutes to complete. hire more people morons! won't be back.

Very unhappy with services at soapys. My car was in desperate need of a good bathing from the love bugs and highway driving. I paid 29 bucks for them to do the inside and out along with having the bugs removed I paid 3 bucks extra for a special waxing to keep the bugs from sticking. When I got home I found dirt still in the roof tracks, ashtrays not clean and yep love bugs sticking. Save your money and do it yourself! read more

First time visit to Soapy's and it will be the last. Requested carwash, vacuum floor mats and dust dashboard. At no time was the word "detail " mentioned by me or the I lady I paid $32 to. Outrageous but I wanted it done quickly with a minimum of services. Car wssh went fine. After I was told to wait in the lounge and I would be called when car was finished. I said no I just wanted this quickly and I would be gone. They refused and so I gathered my kids and drove away. These folks have no interest in satisfying their customers requests and then they upcharge you. I have no experience with their final product but their customer service sucks and they are ripping people off. Beware! read more

We have collectively as a family visited Soapy's many times through the past few years. We have also purchased several gift cards- support the local business right. This past visit was our last. Our tires were not even half scrubbed (which may have been better than what we got), they looked like crap especially against the tire polish! Soap running down the back window, dripping down the doors, and the wipe/polish post wash...the rags must be greasy cause our car is super streaky! We tried calling several times but no one returned our call. Big money grab- don't waste your time here. read more

First time visitor. It was the slowest imaginable. I finally gave up and just let them eat my $25. They did not have enough employees. The bathroom light did not work. No cups for the free coffee. Just poor management not employees. They were all friendly. I do not recommend. Keep on driving. read more

Soapy's not sure what happen to you, but your car wash is slacking. Super slow the employees absolutely look like they are over worked and tired. They sit while vacuuming your car and do a half ass job of cleaning it. This place has gone down the drain.. I will look else where to wash my car. Two people vacuuming while there is 10 cars waiting. Poorly run by management for sure. Unless you want to sit for two hours for a crappy job, go somewhere else. Get more people and maybe your employees won't be so burnt out and tired to do the job right!!! read more

Horrible service, paid 24.95,car was not vacuumed well nor was inside wiped down! I had to throw away trash they left in my car. A total WASTE OF MONEY read more

Amazing experience , I'm very happy with my service . My car was cleaned in a timely matter and staff was very friendly

Got the mgr special wash and wax on my Toyota suv and all results were very good. Glad i caught them on a good weather day that wasn't too busy or hot read more

This was a first time visitor. My mother went to this car wash, she is in her 70's. She paid $29.00 for a car wash they wouldn't even wipe the inside down. For the amount of money that was charged that should have been included. The employees are extremely RUDE!!! She will NEVER go back there again. DO BETTER!!!!! read more

Got a five dollar off coupon from Valvoline next-door. First let me say that I drive a larger size van. Crabby's wash starts at $8.95 which includes a towel dry. They actually did a pretty good job the only reason I gave it a four was because the towel drying person when He saw my van he started shaking his head. That being said I always tip and it took him less than 90 seconds to dry. There is no friendliness, no real customer service just take your money do what they have to do and get out. For the price it was a good service read more

Had the same big guy, spent over an hour there it was more fun watching the staff do nothing. At one point while cleaning another cars mats they spray the dirt and sand all over my vehicle. Never go to this place. read more

I was pretty satisfied with the wash, love-bug removal and service.. but it took a couple of the employees to vacuum and woke down the interior. Maybe if it didn't take an hour to wash my car and vacuum, I would have just done it myself. But I was out of town and wanted it to look nice for my girlfriend. If it didn't take this long I would have just gave it a 5... for the price I was paying read more

I was disappointed with the detailing. No attention to detail, sloppy, definitely not worth the money. I even sent an email to their office - receiving no response back! read more

I recently had a production in North Florida, and on the way back stopped to wash our three crew vans, They did a fast and spectacular job. Couldn't recommend this car wash more. read more

Went to Soapy's today July 2, 2014 at 8:30 am. No one was there to take my money and give me a car wash. Waited for 5 minutes and no one came . There were other workers around but no one came to help me, so I left. Terrible way to run a business. If I was the owner I would fire the person who was assigned to be at front entrance to handle the customers. How they stay in business I will never know. read more

This is the worst service ever!! I will never go back . Terrible service run by awful staff ! Lie about how long it will take . Block a day out for this dump . Never again. I've never wasted energy on a yelp review but this place deserves bad press read more
