I had went to this car wash today to get a wash. I decided to get the $12 wash just for the time being. My car is still filthy. It doesn't even seem like I went to the car wash. I get I only paid $12 but this is ridiculous. I don't know if it was due to it being close to closing time that the machine half did it or what. This is ridiculous. My back window shouldn't look like that and there shouldn't still dirt on my car. I came back the next day and the manager Manny had made it right. He let my car go back through and they had had dried my car. I was appreciative of them making it right. read more

As the cars got backed up I witnessed the people that were drying my vehicle just perform the laziest wipe down for $54.99. They ignored the receipt that showed an extra 15.00 (rounded up) for shine to dashboard. They skipped vacuuming the whole right inside of my vehicle. I literally was able to pick up small pieces of trash. Then after pointing these things out the people begin to speak in another language with regard to me and my vehicle. I don't think I would recommend this place. The manager had initially told me if I have a problem just mention it. I did and was told I need to sign up for detailing from the manager. Really? For vacuuming in between the seats and doors??? Wow! read more

They went above and beyond. I mistakenly parked under a walnut tree and what a MESS! They ran my car through the wash twice to ensure it was clean. Thank you SO much! read more

This car wash is probably one of the best around. They do such an excellent job with even a standard car wash and the included interior cleaning. They are very quick and efficient. It's an excellent value! read more

Generally an okay wash & interior clean. Once my favorite, it's gotten a bit run down. The wash and interior cleaning, however, are still pretty good. My interior, in particular, had been sadly neglected so the task was mighty. Afterwards, my car sparkled inside & out. The teams of vacuumers at the start and polishers at the end do a yeoman's job. read more

it wasn't an OK service. It has gone down a lot compared to how it normally was. I couldn't even tell my car was cleaned on the inside at all, but hey. read more

I noticed that my car had some odd marks on it, I assume from some fun spring plant or pollen. After work today I decided to swing over to get the car washed, this location was quick and efficient. I pulled through the line, paid for a full service exterior car wash. My car was pulled through the tunnel with all your typical car wash bells and whistles. Very reasonably priced, and I can go back within 5 days for a free car wash. I'll be back to this location. read more

I've been coming here for YEARS! Always a fan. Two trips ago, I had a rare bad experience where so many spots were missed that I said something, which I had never done before. The manager sent someone to "fix" it but the interior was still done pretty poorly. I've had such a history of strong experiences, though, that I went back last week and paid the upgrade for increased attention to dashboard and door handles and such and my car is shining! Definitely a noticeable difference. Not sure what they did but worth the added $$. Try to go on an off time or you'll get stuck in a line so this is my "random Tuesday off work" treat to myself. read more

I have been coming to this location for years. Today is my first bad experience with this location. Customer service is TERRIBLE. I was trying to get full service, which includes vacuuming and the worker kept trying to make me go through the car wash instead and then proceeded to scream at me to pull in, bypassing the vacuuming. Another worker had to come over and explain this to him. Of course it was after he was rude and screamed names at me and make rude gestures. It would have been great if he would have just asked me why I wouldn't pull forward anymore. Also, I have a gift card, apparently you cannot check the balance online. The card would not scan. It had $100 left on it, and had only been used once before, no way to verify the amount or to process the payment. The website tells you to email someone. I will no longer come to this location. So disappointed. read more

As was last week, I waited 10 minutes for the attendant, and the people that were doing the inside of the cars shouldn't have been allowed to work there. working so slow. There were also multiple cars that were waiting to be dried. Last week I had to drive away and the spots were already dried. Dropping my membership. Horrible place of business. read more

I am so upset with this business. The Sparkling Image on County Line Rd near 31 there in Indpls/Greenwood area sucks bad. Do you know they were cleaning the inside of my car which they hurry hurry anyway and they flipped up the USB cover and broke it completely off. Instead of telling me or one of their manager they just left it there in the cup holder and went on about their business. I saw it and I complained to the assistant Mgr. The manager wasnt there that day. He said he could only take a Pic and take my name and number down. He said someone would call me. So it happened on a Fri. Knowing that the weekends upon us and nobody is in the office on weekends or would be available I gave them a few days. By Wed I still heard nothing. I went in there on Wed or Thurs and spoke to the mgr. He said he had no knowledge of it watsoever. He said the asst mgr could've handled it. We dont do business tht way. He says someone will be contacting you. He turned in the report. Its now been over THREE WEEKS. STILL NO PHONE CALL FROM ANYONE. IVE BEEN IN THERE SEVERAL TIMES. THE MGR JUST KEEPS SAYING IVE TURNED IT IN. I PROMISE. IDK WHY THEY HAVENT CALLED U. PLEASE DONT EVER TAKE YOUR CAR TO THIS PLACE. THEY DO A CRAPPY JOB AND IF THEY DAMAGE YOUR CAR THEY DONT WANT TO EVEN MAKE IT RIGHT WITH YOU. read more

The brush beat up my passenger side hood at the County Line Rd location. I didn't see it until three hours later when I put a purchase in the passenger door. They went out to check the two recent washes and said there was no damage. They couldn't be at fault. I explained that it had been three hours. They said they would check their camera and btushes, then informed me that it proved they were not at fault. I asked to see the video and they informed me that you couldn't really see the damaged area at all, as expected. I asked to at least give me a refund for the remaining washes on my card. They said it was against their policy. Take photos before entering and carefully inspect before leaving. read more

1/2/2026 I went to the Countyline location paid the $44.00 wash I specifically asked about the floor matts and the seats.. the young man stated the $44.00 package is what is needed and they would take care of the inside of the car a wipe down dash console seats door and vacuum with wheel shine and air freshener with a five day free wash.. I got in the car no wheel shine no air freshener and the floor and seats was ridiculous for what I just paid.. I went back around the young man took my receipt gave me another one (0.00) told me to look for a guy in a red jacket an run it thru.. NO ONE was wearing a red jacket i go to the cashier she gets on the radio has someone that didn't have a red jacket on said no worries he take care of it i told him the car it was back getting vacuumed for the 2nd time. 2nd time thru vacuum was better seat was not wiped off no wheel shine no air freshener. 3rd time I tracked him down told him seats and air freshener and wheel shine was not done again.. He goes over and tells someone they go get the wheel shine BUT DOES NOT do the air freshener and inside wipe down.. by that time i done spent almost a hour there, This place is ridiculous over charging for half ass service and then not get what you paid for and telling the I guess manager 2-3 times about it he does nothing. read more

Not good. Hopefully they get more help. I think they're understaffed. There's a Crew car wash next door. read more

Sparkling Image Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I've had my car since 2010 and have never had it detailed. I practically live out of my car as I referee a sport in addition to my day-time job. I have a full second-wardrobe and food packed in the back. I am eating on the road, taking pregame naps in the car, and am airing out sweaty clothes as I travel from state to state. I shop-vac my car 2-3x per year, but that's it. With how crummy I felt my car looked on the inside, I had pretty low expectations on how nice my car could potentially look. Sparkling Image blew my expectations away. I initially went to the one on Keystone, but they do not have indoor detailing, only outdoor and it was 22 degrees, so they asked that I go to the one on 86th Street. I called ahead as they are first come, first serve to make sure that I could get in and headed that way. They were very accommodating. I dropped my car off and went to the Starbucks a couple doors over and waited. It took a little over 4 hours, but my car feels brand new. My husband says that he has never seen my car this clean in all the years he has known me. I was considering a buying a new car, but Sparkling Image made by car feel brand new again. All it needed was a deep clean! I feel like you can spend hundreds of dollar on getting your car detailed, so for $129, I felt like I really got a lot out of that money. The staff was very friendly and responsive. The person at the front desk gave me an estimate on how long it would take for my car to get done and checked me out promptly. The person working on my car in the bay left plastic on the slightly damp seats as they were still drying after being shampooed. I was very impressed by the service and now my husband is planning to get his car done as well. read more

It took me a few weeks to write this review so that I could make sure it was accurate. But I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Jeff, Jordan, and the rest of the team at the 82nd street sparkling image for taking the time to fix a botched job. I use my car all the time and they helped fix an issue that I was worried couldn't be solved. My car doesn't have that mildew smell anymore and up until I let some toddlers in the back seat it was sparkling for days! Thanks again I will definitely be back to this location when the spring hits! read more

Hi. I am literally sitting in front of the car wash near Castleton. I joined the frequency club two days ago and I think I regret it. It is 8:08am and no sign of life. None. Blue cones block the entrance. YELP says they open at 7:30am. Is that true? Oh, ok. It's 8:10am. Now open. When I signed up for the unlimited monthly service, the employee here told me that I might want to get the ceramic coating for my car from Ziebart, so their car wash doesn't scratch the car. I have no idea what to do with that information. It's not a good sign. I was with Crew Car Wash FOREVER. I miss the friendliness. Ok, car wash is complete. read more

I've only ever used the car wash service here. Every time it's come out very clear. They do a good job vacuuming the inside and wiping everything down. Considering the conditions they work in with being outside in the sun I give them major props. Will continue to visit here. It is a bit more expensive than some places but overall a good value. read more

Overall, the car wash itself does a pretty good job, but the inside cleaning/detailing was pathetic. My wife asked them to go over it again after one pass through and after she got home I inspected the cleaning to find this. This is exactly why I normally handle all of our car detailing myself. I will use the car wash again, but I do not recommend having them clean out your car for you. They obviously don't give a damn when something is staring them in the face. read more

Sparkling Image Car Wash - Why pay to get your car cleaned out when they can't even wipe down the inside of the tailgate? - Car Wash Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I work for a company that is challenged with finding and keeping quality employees. That said, the front line team must maintain the image needed to lead a strong team. Pedro, the outside trainer and lead on Sunday, October 2, 2022 between 11:30 am and 11:47 am, was frazzled and dismissive of me when I was calling an over site to his attention. On my fourth call to him, outside my passenger window where he was standing, he finally turned t me and answered my question before I could ask it, as he must have noticed the over site as well. Instead of simply saying someone is on the way, he ignored me four times. O don't know where I'll take my business going forward but I must give this location a 3month pause AGAIN!!! read more

I'm a Lyft driver. I went to get the interior of my car cleaned and was told it would take around three hours. There was a long line when I got there a little after 1 P.M., but I was able to get my car started for the cleaning around 1:30. As it approached 4:45, I heard them ask who had the Hyundai Elantra, that's my car. Not knowing there was another one, I spoke up. They said it was another one and not mine and the girl who spoke to me said it takes 3-4 hours to do what I wanted, but when she said it, she used a very rude and nasty tone. Not wanting to make a scene, I said okay and sat back down. A short time later, they said my car was done; it took 3.75 hours. They directed me out of the bay/garage and into the direction I needed to go to leave the lot. I do appreciate their thoroughness in cleaning my car. Other than a few minor spots, it looked really nice. It looked better than when I first got the car. My only real complaint on the cleanliness is that the inside of my front windshield, while it was cleaner than before, had a lot of smearing. As expected, there was plastic on my seat because it wasn't dry yet. What they never told me was how long it would take to dry and that I needed to leave my windows down overnight to dry them. I got in my car to put back the objects they took out of the nooks and crannies in my car. It was then that I realized my seat is still wet. I felt the others and they are still wet as well! It wasn't until I called them about it today and asked that I found out about leaving my windows down overnight. Now, they're suggesting I leave the windows down during the day and overnight. I can't do my Lyft job with wet seats and floors! Now I am going to miss a day of driving because they didn't bother to take the time to tell me what I needed to do! Not sure if I'll use them again if I need this service in the future. It was $119.99 for them to clean the seats, clean the dash and console, and vacuum and shampoo the rugs/floor. read more

If you get an exterior only wash, you will not receive the "hand dry" service. I just watched several customers have to hand dry their own vehicles. I'd rather just go to Crew otherwise. read more

Great service! Nice people and work really hard on your car. You get more than you payed for.

I paid 64.99 /month for unlimited car wash , I give them 3 star because every time I take my car for a wash i always see something that's not done right. There is always an area in my car that is not clean yet they 4 to 5 people cleaning your car and still not done right. To me , 64.99 a month is not worth paying when it comes to getting your car clean..... read more

Normally I don't post these kind of things but dear God... this was awful. I just bought $130 worth of books and you give me this kind of work? Not to mention you took FOREVER to get the "cleaning" done. Crumbs.... water spots.... dried soap specks... I didn't even get air freshener! This isn't sparkling image... this is cubic zirconia. I've been a customer for 11 years and this is the first time I've been this unhappy with you guys. read more

I haven't had my car detailed in over two years so I thought now would be a good time. My supervisor recommended this place since Crew does not do detailing, I was a bit surprised at the $119 price tag, but I have to admit I was spoiled by paying $40 in Tennessee. I have King cake under the seat from last Marks Gras, Spilled chili in the passenger side carpet from last winter, and copious amounts of white dog fur from my week of dog sitting a husky. I wish I had taken before pics. I did, however, clean out as much trash as possible and remove all personal belongings from my trunk before going just to make it a bit easier on the staff. I also made a list of all the minor details I wanted them to pay attention to. Upon arriving, the entrance is VERY confusing. I wasn't sure where to go, but eventually I figured it out. I later realized other people had issues with this as well. The woman taking the orders was pleasant and asked if I had special requests - glad I had my list! I ordered the ultimate interior and she offered me a $20 wax, but I declined as I plan to come back for an ultimate exterior in a few weeks. She placed a sticker on my car and told me I could go inside or grab something to eat and they'd call me when it was done. She didn't take my phone number and I never gave her my payment information. I followed my car to each station and was able to view it at all times thanks to an abundance of windows and access to outside seating. Once my car had been washed on the outside, it looked very shiny and like new. However, I began writing his review at 3:39 PM, at least 10 minutes after it was parked no one touched my car. It was 3:50 PM and I was told by a staff member that I needed to pay before they could start any more work. Not sure that was made clear at the beginning of my service, I was told they'd call me when it was done. That confused me a bit because they didn't have my phone number. I paid and took a seat. Overall it took about an hour and a half to complete the wash and detail and it looks great and smells good! I did notice a glob of red paint near my headlight and I'm positive it wasn't there before I went because I've never had a paint job done on the drivers side of my car. I also have a picture of my vehicle a few months prior to this visit and that glob isn't there. The manager said he didn't know what it was, so I just chalked it up to a ghost that put red nail polish on my car. It's not extremely noticeable, so I didn't make a fuss. Overall, I'm happy with the service, and I would come back. read more

Bad Smell Left Behind. My car smelled fine before. My first time at this location. I was happy with the wait time but not happy with the quality of clean. They outside looks good- but the inside was not the greatest. Windows looked fine. But, Seats were obviously not vacuumed, My cup holders still had crumbs left behind. But my biggest complaint is the smell left behind. It just smells dirty like dirty rags in here and I even had "air freshener" added in the package. I can smell the air freshener too, but there's a gross smell here too that wasn't here before. I've been happy at other Sparkling Image locations so I probably just won't stop by this one in the future. ***UPDATE: the manager did message me to apologize after this review, so hopefully they'll figure out the cause of the bad smell to avoid this issue for future customers **** read more

They did do a good job of cleaning the car, but their service was horrible. It took over 45 minutes to complete the job,!with most of the delay in prep and finishing. These people are seriously understaffed. Will not be returning. read more

I arrived at 9 am. Only three cars were ahead of me. To say they are slow is an understatement! The workers are moving like slugs. It's ridiculous how slow and degenerate they look. Shuffling their feet and displaying their absolute distaste for work. The manager is obviously someone who has never inspired his people to enjoy the work experience. Ugh read more

I've been a member of the Sparkling Image Wash club for a couple years now. I pay $40 a month (when I joined it was $35) for unlimited full service car washes which in include exterior washer lines and interior basic cleaning (wipe down and vacuum). Most of the time I leave satisfied. I've also had the detail shop repair some scratch & paint job. That was well worth the money. Even with the long lines it generally moves quickly with two full service lines and an express line. I have used all the locations and this is my favorite by far. I also appreciate the communal tip box. There is always a whole team that works on your vehicle and it's difficult to figure out who should get tips. This may everyone splits what is collected. If you're going to do an unlimited car wash club, this is the best bang for your buck. read more

This location has gone down hill significantly. I just attempted to have my car cleaned with their standard service. After 40 minutes, the crew had not even started cleaning the interior of my car. The register was so backed up I could not speak to anyone to get a refund before I had to leave to pick my son up from daycare before they closed. I have been a loyal customer for years and will not return. read more

Came here for a car interior detail at 12pm; which they close at 7pm. Was turned away for over $100 I was willing to pay in services because the manager said that he was "sending people home for the day"... very unprofessional and will never return and I do not recommend to anyone. There was only two cars in detail center with no other cars... not busy at all. read more

THE BEST CAR WASH DEAL IN INDY! I've been coming here for 12 years!. $23 for inside and out detailed clean! This is a place where you get out, they vacuum your interior and take out floor mats. Your car then goes through the wash and comes out to be hand dried and also washed on the inside per your level of service. It can get busy and I've waited up to 20 minutes but for the level of service you're getting it's more than worth it! $23 deal: Exterior Interior Air freshener Wheel detail Undercarriage Etc read more

I go through the sparkling image car wash on the south side all of the time. I go through it so often, that I bought a monthly full service pass to save money. Now that I have unlimited washes, I'll run through whenever I have some time and pass by one. Someone tracked dirt on the floor mats? No problem! They'll vacuum it out! While the south side location is by far my favorite Sparkling Image in Indianapolis the Castleton location is a close second. Here's what I like about it: -They vacuum your car out before it gets washed. I don't know why I like this better, but I do -You pull up, get out, and they take it from there. Walk inside, and sit in the lobby while your car is vacuumed, washed and hand dried. Then the interior and exterior glass is cleaned, the dash is wiped down. -Additional detailing options are available, and at this location, they have garage bays where this is done inside. I haven't used this service because I keep my car fairly clean, but I like the fact that this location does it inside. And here's what I don't like about this specific location: -the line is usually much slower than other locations -I don't think they do as good of a job compared to the south side. I feel like my carpets are cleaner when I go to the south side location. I suppose it's just a car wash, but I pay close to $40 a month for unlimited full service.. Which is a deal if you go more than twice (it's $21 per visit). I like when they take the time to get it right, and this place does a pretty good job at it! read more

Seriously...your car can be washed and completely cleaned out inside for either $14 or $25 depending on how many extras you want (wheel brite, underbody, etc.)... amazing. I LOVE this place. They are always super friendly, it is clean, and they do a great job of cleaning all the dog hair out of my ride. I will say, I am not used to hopping out of my car right at the beginning and going inside to pay, but I could get used to not having to endure riding through the freaky underbelly of the car wash itself. Plus--you can get some greeting cards in the lobby while you wait. Bonus. I will be back for sure. read more

Sparkling Image Car Wash - Car seats still dirty after a 1hour wait I do not recommend at all!!!! - Car Wash Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

For $31, Sliverspectrem is getting a good clean that she hasn't had in awhile. They took their time cleaning out the dash and the console. They wiped down the inside of the doors so water is not dripping off. This place is so much better than Crew and only a few dollars more for a Full service car wash which I was accustomed to growing up. We did not have these express car washes like Crew growing up in the south. It was the pull-in do it yourself or full service and you could get a 15 minute oil change with a full service car wash. That is the only thing that could make this place better. So take the extra time and get the full service. It is worth it and then some... and while you wait pop over to O'REILLYS next door to pick up a cheaper air fresher. I promise, you will be back before they are done even after you pay. read more
