See the red arrow showing the location of the missing trim - front passenger side

I visited Sparkling Image Car Wash location in Plantation, FL to have the exterior and interior of my black Hyundai Sonata cleaned/vacuumed. When visiting a car wash, I typically inspect my vehicle after it is cleaned and vacuumed. Upon doing so, I noticed that the cleaning machine had torn off the trim on the passenger-side front (see picture attached). I asked to speak with the location manager, Diego, but he denied that the machine tore the trim off the vehicle. Only after I stated I had proof that the trim was on the car before the cleaning did he agree to review the security camera video footage. After making me wait about 30 minutes while he reviewed the video in a private office, he came out and stated that the video did indeed show the machine ripping the trim off the vehicle. He told me to obtain an estimate to replace the trim and bring it to him so Sparkling Image Car Wash can cover the cost of the damage. I received the estimate (around $140, including labor) from a Hyundai dealer. When I returned with it later, he stated they would not pay for the damaged trim and provided no reason for the non-payment. I filed a complaint with their main office in Fort Lauderdale and received a voicemail from Joshua Key, the South Florida Regional Manager. I returned his call 3 times but did not receive a response. It is apparent to me that, although the Sparkling Image Car Wash location manager verbally agreed to pay for the damage, they never intended to do so. I paid out of pocket for the replacement trim and have since sold the vehicle. Not only has the cost for a car wash/cleaning increased dramatically due to the change in ownership, but they will not honor prepaid car washes paid to the prior owner. Based on the fact that they never paid for the replacement trim, they won't let customers use prepaid car wash coupons from the prior owner, and their pricing is now ridiculously high, I will NEVER RETURN AND RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T have your vehicle cleaned at any Sparkling Image Car Wash location! I repeat, DO NOT USE Sparkling Image Car Wash!!

Today I went to the car wash. Overall the service was good; yet, for the second time, the person who vacuumed missed a section in the back area. There was a large amount of dog hair behind both seats. An amount that I was able to scoop up with my fingers.

Receipt proof I paid $34.99 not my fault it was rung up incorrectly.

Well I came to the car wash before my road trip June 22. The guy sold me an unlimited wash package as I told him I'd be coming back after my trip. The unlimited wash package he stated I could come every day if I wanted to. When I paid for my wash $34.99 I asked the cashier if I needed anything for the next time I come for the free wash she said just keep the receipt. So I put it in my glovebox. Today July 15 I finally made it for another wash. I said here is my receipt I pad for the unlimited wash. He then says to me this receipt is for a one time car wash only. I said can you see where I already paid the $34.99 for the unlimited car wash he said I see you paid $34.99 for a one time car wash if you would like to purchase the unlimited car wash option that'll be $34.99 but we have to put a sticker on your car when you do that. I explained again do you see where I already paid the $34.99? He says maybe he misunderstood you that you wanted the unlimited package. You were rang up for a one time car wash only. However based on my conversation with the gentleman when I first came in for the unlimited package he did not misunderstand me. I also have no idea what the cashier may have thought I was referring to when I was asking about coming back for the next free car wash? Instead of simply telling me to hang onto my receipt if she didn't understand my question maybe she should have asked what I was referring to since she rang me up obviously knowing she was ringing me up for a single car wash. The other car wash down the street also offers unlimited package I am going there instead I'm not paying another $34.99 again for an unlimited car wash package that I may never get. It's unfortunate because I love buying greeting cards at this place I had even told the cashier at the time they have the best card selection. However I am not coming back to this location if they don't honor their word.

In my 39 years, I have lived in three different states and this is by far the best car wash I have ever used. Christian, Freud, Nicholas, Carlos and Eddy our great staff members and make all the difference. Apart from the awesome team, their attention to detail to my Land Rover has been perfect. You can always tell when a local business is a well oiled machine when the general manager is involved in the daily operations too, thank you guys and gals very much!

I love this car wash !! I found this place maybe a year ago and still go. I don't like subscriptions but I do have the $40 monthly unlimited washes, which is worth it to me. Every employee there is super efficient and hard working. Their lines do get super long which is a downside if you're on a time crunch. Very nice car wash that's consistent and thoroughly cleans my car.

I love this car wash! I've tried a few Sparkling Image car washes and this location by far is my favorite. They do a thorough job of vacuuming the trunk and prepping the car through the car wash. Then they dry it by hand and spray the scent of your choice in the car. They also do a great job detailing as my car got marked up from a gate and they were able to buff out the marks and make it look as good as new. If you're not happy with the job, they will work on the car until you are. They have a rain guarantee that if it rains within 7 days of getting your car washed, they will do it again for free. They also offer an unlimited monthly car wash as well as car wash books seasonally.

Took my truck to for a wash waited 30 minutes and they damaged the ceramic tint on the drivers window. I immediately noticed and management took no responsibility. Awful experience.

Just left. Purchased "best" wash for $40+$10(tip). Regret didn't check since they were good before. Check pictures. Mirror is disgusting-can't take picture. Stay away from frustration

Not impressed. My husband and I went here to get our cars cleaned. It's close to where we live, and we always see it super busy. I highly suggest trying just them out before you go investing in the monthly deal for unlimited car washes. We had a package that was for the inside and outside of our cars. I don't remember all the bullets, but neither one of our cars were completely wiped down inside, there were areas missed with the vacuum, our rims.... disgusting! Only the exterior part was wiped down with tons of dirt still showing on the inside. Our cars also had tons is missed spots from sap or bugs and none of it was cleaned away. The pictures speak for themselves! #notimpressed First and last time customer. Lmk if you have any good car wash places in the Plantation area too recommend!

See all

I bought windshield wipers from here and Andres was so kind to politely take them from me and put them on my car.

Mobile Detailers

(47 reviews)

I spoke with Mobile Detailers Inc on the phone after my complaint was posted to Yelp.They…read moreimmediately scheduled someone to come out and honor the coupon and in addition refunded the money due to how long it's taken me to redeem the coupon. The detailing job was done very well.

Well, I'm going to join the legions of reviewers here and add my own 5-stars!…read more I've never had auto detailing done on any car before, so I didn't know what to expect. I found Mobile Detailers right here at Yelp and was immediately impressed with how the owners reach out to folks right here, replying to their posts - that's rare. I was also glad to see all the 5-star reviews, so I took the plunge. Avol came to my house in Lighthouse Pt yesterday and spent FOUR HOURS cleaning my 2018 Porsche Macan to beyond perfection. First off, he spent several minutes sharing his philosophy on auto detailing, what he does, what to expect, and through that education, made me comfortable with the process. Then he got to work. In the burning sun he washed, sprayed, rubbed down, polished and cleaned every surface area INSIDE and OUT. From trunk (yes, even under the spare tire area!) all the way up to the the headlights, that car was treated with tender, loving care. The disk brakes were screaming red like a fire hydrant, the interior leather supple, soft and spotless, the exterior blue paint sparkling like a Christmas ornament. I literally stood outside and gaped at the result. Avol assured me that if I had any issues to just call. Well, I couldn't think of a ONE, and the best was yet to come. My dear husband returned at dawn from a long trip to Antarctica, and he was exhausted. I wanted the car detailing to be a special Valentine's Day present, so I didn't even tell him I'd done this. He went out to the garage to get something and moments later came in to say: "All I can say is WOW!!! I have never seen that car so clean!" LOL! That was having seen it under the dim, interior garage light. That car is so clean I feel like I should wear bedroom slippers driving it. Main thing is, I'm SO glad I found Mobile Detailers in my area, and will definitely be a regular customer going forward. This is a tough job done in brutal weather, so I have to give a "high five!" to Avol and the crew here.
