No complaints. They do a great job at a fair price. Cashiers are always cheerful and kind. Plenty of car accessories for sale, as well as snacks, drinks, hats, sunglasses and sundries. Big comfy waiting room! Sparkling bathrooms. Almost seems like you're at a rest stop. It's easy in and out. They put out cones on Peninsula Blvd. to guide you in, helping to avoid unpleasantries with the flow of traffic on the road. The busier it is, the more cones are out. They utilize a lot across the side street opposite the exit area, for an overflow area to do the interior glass, wipe down and tire treatments. So even on super busy days it's not a zoo getting in and out. I always leave happy with a sparkling clean car. I recommend this car wash to you. read more

Was in the neighborhood and needed to have my car washed due to the excess salt from the recent snow storms so I decided to check out Sonic. I only got an exterior wash ... no frills, just wanted to wash off the salt film off my car. When I mean no frills, it's no frills ... no vacuuming of the interior, just an exterior wash. The was was $15 and for what it was worth, I was fine with the price and service. read more

After Spending $400,00 @gardencityjeep they gave me a car wash voucher. I went to Sonic with my voucher. A young man inside refused to honor the voucher, said they were closed. Mean while as he says that a car starts being washed thru their car wash. right infront of me. The young man refused to honor the voucher. No manger or supervisor for this Mikey Mouse car wash; would never recommend.. read more

Left scratches all over my car and almost ruined my rim on the machine. Then they don't even have a working phone number on their website.

I have always found this to be a solid and consistent car wash place. If there's ever a line to pull into the wash, it always moves rather quickly. One time, they forgot to vacuum one side of the backseat (where a huge backpack was laying) and when I brought it up to their attention, they had no problem taking care of it. The fellas are respectful and my cars end up squeaky clean. Keep up the good work! read more

Sonic Car Wash & Lube - Some of the prices. - Auto Detailing Near Me - Hempstead, New York

PROS: Car came back cleaner than it's been in years. The service was done in less time than anticipated. I needed my car back sooner than the original time they quoted me and they made it happen. The staff was kind and friendly. CONS: They stole the money from my car, the car organizer I had at the driver's seat and its contents. The things they didn't want were placed in a plastic bag. The items they wanted, they helped themselves to. The fumes from the cleaning/polishing chemicals are toxic and doesn't go away easily. I have to keep my windows open because I get nauseated from the smell. There were also some missed spots that were still dirty. I'm glad my car is clean for the most part but sadly I won't be back for the above stated reasons. I know we are living in desperate, hard times but stealing is never the way to go. Honesty goes a long way and will result in loyal customers who will keep returning. read more

STILL FIVE STARS! My husband has taken our car to get an oil change. On top of the reasonable price, you'll get a free car wash. I mentioned before that I love the wash here. It's always feels like a light detailing because of the great job they do. read more

For some reason I'm always disappointed when I splurge on upgraded car washes. This time I spent $30 and the dudes didn't wash the inside of my front windshield or rear window. They also neglected to vacuum the back cargo floor behind my upright third row. I should know by now not to trust the labor of men. The automatic brushes did a fine job. read more

These guys are thieves. I rolled in to get an oil change for my CX-5. I'm figuring $ 60.00. Charge $ 97.75 !!!! I do some simple math. on the higher side retail, $ 5.00/quart of synthetic oil. x 5 qts (maybe 4) $ 25.00. The filter, $ 5.00. $ 30.00 in materials. Changed oil in what, 10 minutes? I've been a business owner and understand costs, like the rent, etc.. Hell, I even gave the tech $ 5.00 for his efforts. Ridiculous. read more

This place use to be great... Now for $21 they will wash the top half of the car, vacuum over the dog fur in the rug, skip over the lower door panels, miss any coffee drips. So, what exactly was washed??? You just lost a customer Bye read more

Just returned home driving all the way back from NY. I was so lucky, as I wanted to have the car checked out and clean before my return back to Florida. I found this wonderful car wash that does a lot of extra things as well. The people were great, the service was excellent, and I would recommend it highly to anyone, looking to get their car cleaned or lubed (lol) read more

I went to this place a several times in the pass. Recently I went to have my car oil service done and I was very disappointed... they don't take care of your car than they used to. They don't service the tires, the coolant and the windshield washer fluid. When I asked why they didn't service the tires they reply that a sensor was faulty .. but I serviste at the gas station and was good. read more

I came in for an oil change on Saturday morning and paid about $50 for a synthetic blend oil change. There was no wait and it took just under 15 minutes, and they offer a free car wash with any oil change! The service was fast and efficient and the car wash was just as fast! I highly recommend, these guys are striving to work hard. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

i bought 4 tires and had them installed and rotated. very professional and reviewed pricing option..... much better than the dealership I originally went to. I highly recommend read more

ok I gave this pace only 3 stars because the service was good but one of the ones that wash and dry the car stole my long Iphone car charger and tire gage (the thing that lets you know how much air is in the tires) right out of my front dashboard under the radio!!! i called to report it and I wasn't showed any sympathy all the front desk gal said was call tomorrow when the boss is here!! she never said she was sorry!! I am going to call tomorrow and will have a part 2 to this review and let you all know what happens!!! I know lots of people that uses this car wash and I will encourage them not to come there any more if this isn't taken care of asap!!! read more

Paid $30 for a below average car wash. The interior of my car was still extremely dirty. Very disappointed. Will not be returning

Would have given 5 stars but the black cashier woman was super rude. I asked her to give me change for a $20 to give the guys who washed my car a tip, she acted like I asked her to donate her kidney. Sorry fellas, next time no tip and you can thank the front desk lady with the braids. Other than that the facility is clean. They did a great job on cleaning my car after all the salt and grime from the snow. I got the middle grade wash. I'd go back if the front staff was better. I type as I listen to her talk on the phone is a super non professional way cursing and talking about food. read more

I came here because of the quality and quantity of the reviews. My experience did not leave me happy. I SPECIFICALLY told the entry staff member twice - possibly three times when I drove my car in that I did not want armor all in the interior. I know he acknowledged me, because he said "ok, so just wipe it off, no armor all" and wrote up my receipt. He was friendly. I paid and left to get food because I was told it would be about an hour. I came back and the interior was lathered in armor all and I was really upset, but the guy who was doing the final detail didn't really speak English so I had to gesture with my hands that I wanted it removed. I got a rag of my own and he helped me take some of it off, but I ended up going home and cleaning the interior with soap and water to get all the stuff off that I never wanted in the first place. It wouldn't be such a big deal if it were something minor like missed spots like some of the other reviews have noted, but I spent $42 (after tax) plus a tip and ended up doing half the work at home. Bottom line: there's a failure in the communication chain here. Management needs to give the cleaning staff walkie talkies, or have them write in erasable glass chalk what the customer requests, by paper or computer, to have it communicated down the line somehow. Also, for anyone curious this is a partial machine / automated wash. read more

Had my car washed-paid almost twenty dollars for nothing. First they vaccumed half-washed one mat and then put it through the wash with water no soap and dried some of it. I went late afternoon and it was getting dark so never realized it till the next day or two. This business used to be so good-so perfect-but now needs to revamp or do the customers a favor and close down so we can wait for it to rain and have the wash for free. read more

Amazing job on my new Porsche Panamera...Staff were absolutely wonderful and the place itself looks like a superSONIC car wash of the future. I will definately return there to have my car washed and detailed E. Joseph read more

As far as the oil change it was very well done. I think they need a better way if you are coming from Peninsula Blvd to get into the building. The cashier was very friendly and very nicely informative. The car wash was ok could be better. They missed spots inside of car and that was the only issue. The outside was great even though it rained outside. read more

Went to Sonic to have a car that we were selling completely detailed. They did a really, really good job. I worked at a car wash when I was in high school and have some experience with detail work and I could not find anything that they missed. Prices are very fair and the detailing service took the amount of time you would expect it would take. I will definitely continue to bring my vehicles to Sonic for detailing services. read more

Great car wash. Have been here many times. They are decently priced, of course they always try to upsell but every place does. They have the best thing ever. When they vacuum your car, included in the approx $12 price, they also have a blower thing. So the guys work with two hands, one with compressed air pushing all your crap from the cracks inside your car, the other one vacuums it all up. So simple, yet so important! I haven't seen this anywhere else. So that gummy bear stuck between the cushions for the last 8 months, gone! Place is clean, has a nice bathroom, good variety of edible stuffs also. read more

Just paid $35 for the WORST HALF ASSED car wash I've ever had... couldn't even be bothered to wipe my steering wheel or seats down. I had to grab a rag and do it myself , after I asked them politely to do it he just stared at me blankly. read more

I brought my car here for an inspection. After paying the mechanic, he said to drive it 30 miles and come back to pass it so I did and he told me to drive another 50 miles so I did the next day at which point he said I needed my emission fluids changed. I had this done a few months ago but I needed my inspection to pass so I paid $100 and waited 2 hours. He then told me I would have to drive another 80 miles. 2 days later I drove over 100 miles in one day, came back and he told me there's nothing he could do for me. Don't waste your time, money and car mileage like I did... go anywhere else. read more

My husband always goes to Sonic for an oil change or to get his car washed. He's always raving about how much he likes this place, so I decided to give it a try. We brought my car in to be detailed inside & out ($165). We left the car and went out to run errands. A few hours later we get a call that the car is ready. 30 mins later, another call. "Your car is ready". We get to Sonic & it's obvious that the car is NOT READY!! It was still pretty dirty inside & out. It looked like they just ran it through the car wash and just greased it up a lil. There was still garbage under the seats/ the floor was soaking wet/ and they ripped the seat. They young man in charge tried to convince us that the car IS ready & the seat was already ripped when we dropped it off. When we showed him the obvious wet floor all he had to say was "oh sh*t". My husband had to get really upset & that's when the young man phoned the manager. As soon as the manager walked up and looked at the car he started apologizing saying "this is not the way Sonic does business & this car is not ready to go". He informed us that he's normally there to personally oversee the work being done but on that day he had to step out and it's embarrassing that in his absence this is the kind of work being done. He asked us to leave the car overnight and he would see to it that the car gets cleaned in the right way. He actually pointed out other areas that we missed that were still very dirty. The following morning just like he said, the car was cleaned and ready. The car was sparkling. I hate that it wasn't done properly in the first place. It was a bit of an inconvenience to leave the car overnight. I appreciate the manager for stepping in and rectifying the matter. He's the reason for even giving 3 stars. I could tell that he cares about the customers and the kind of work that his name is attached to. He even admitted to us that Sonic did in fact rip the seat and applied a $25 discount at the end. read more

I chose this car wash based on other reviews (and their evening hours). Prices and cleaning is on par with several other washes in the area. They did a slightly better job cleaning the inside than most, although they only cleaned my trunk because I asked. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

Been coming here for years. Went to have my usual oil change done and all the signs in the work bay say $34.99 plus the extra charge for extra oil my minivan takes which I knew about already. When I went to pay the cashier told me the price was $39.99 plus the extras. I told her all the signs hanging up say $34.99. She said the prices went up January 1st, (but here it is February 27th). I told her I should be charged the price posted, but wouldn't accommodate me. You would figure they would change the posted prices within a reasonable amount of time. As far as service, I can't complain. I ask for an oil change and that's what I get. They never try to upsell you like other places. You also get a full service car wash which they do an excellent job at. Anyone with kids knows how messy the inside of the minivans can get. Inside and out was spotless and smelled nice. read more

I Just paid $24.99 for the worse car wash. I never went here before and Jet down the block was closed, so I said lets give Sonic a try. Worst mistake ever. I have rubber floor mats and they washed them, but did not dry them, so they turned to ice when it's 12 degrees outside. The super wash was supposed to come with armor all, which I didn't get. The truck still had Ice from the snow on my running board and the truck wash not dry at all. By the way they cleaned the truck with dirty rags. They did have 5 people cleaning the car in the garage. Good Job Sonic! I will never come back and this is my 1 star review. :) read more

SHADY. I just got totally ripped off by these guys. Over charged me and did a bad job. DONT GO HERE

Supposedly when a bird craps on your car it's good luck. But if that old adage stands true then why does it make your car look like a war zone when this lucky crap hits your car? I guess it's lucky because it didn't land on you. I needed my car cleaned so I went to check this place out. This car wash offers a multitude of service, from Oil Changes to Alignments and full detailing. It's not set up like a traditional car wash. Enter the car wash is off on a side road and picking your car up is across the street on the other side of the building. It wasn't the best car wash I've been to but it was the most practical as far as cost is concerned. They are not expensive and when something is cheap it's not always good. But I was happy enough to use them again in the future. I just wish they did a better wipe down because I had water marks on my car after the was. Being inexpensive doesn't mean you cut corners on good service. If that was the case then I shouldn't have tip. read more

I came in for a detail (interior & exterior) last minute due to an incident in my car. I was told to come back for the car later when they called me for it. I went at 830 am and just picked up my car. It was ready at 2:30. The car looks new. The incident looks gone and it smells great. I will be coming back for more in the future. read more

Great Car Wash and courteous staff.!! Beautiful and clean waiting area with coffee and free wifi . I will definitely come back again.

I went here after reading the reviews, while the staff was friendly, the car wash was not good at all. I went for the $39.99 Mini Detail deal for my Range Rover. While I was outside watching the guy drying the car, he did all the door jambs, conditioned the leather seats, and wiped all my wheels, and lathered them up with armor all. When he told me it was done, I walked up and and said can you also clean all the dirt around the trunk, and he did immediately, but did such a poor job on it, that I asked him if I could borrow the rag, and started wiping it down myself. After about a half hour of me wiping down all the spots the guy had missed, I kinda wished I lived in a house, so I could wash my own car in my driveway. Finally I was ready to roll, and another staff member comes running outside from the shop asking me if I got all my floor mats, which I had not noticed that my OEM mats were missing due to the all-weather mats I had placed on top to protect my factory mats. After bout another 10min of looking they found them. I won't ever go here again. read more
