The workers here are awesome and the wash is good. The rear of the vehicle doesn't get as good a cleaning but when you dry it you can take care of any misses. If you ask they will spray more on the back. Very good people and great vacuums! Easily Worth the monthly fee. read more

I have a brand new car that is covered in micro scratches. Some of the scratches are on the hood of the car so I can't imagine how they got there other than the car wash. I have never hand washed this car myself. I never noticed it before because I decided to start hand drying my car after going through the car wash, as when I come out my car is still wet and it dries weird. I end up with while dots on my car. I am looking into a new car wash and will have to pay hundreds of dollars to get it detail cleaned in hopes that they can fix this. Very disappointed. read more

$15 dollar car wash. Worth the money just bring a towel to dry your car or buy one for a buck. Vacuums were amazing very strong overall good experience read more

BEWARE!!! Their car wash will damage your car and they will refuse liability! They damaged the trim on my car. I filed a so called claim through their insurance company only for them to turn around and refuse to fix my car. I canceled my membership. Stay far away from this place! read more

This company is such a scam. Good luck canceling your membership. The website won't recognize you as a user. You'll be asked to verify your identity in about six different ways. You'll have an easier time getting screened by TSA. You'll finally find a way to contact the local carwash and they'll redirect you to a national 833 number. And then no one will answer so you'll have to leave a message. This has been going on for a long time all to the tune of $39/month. This is a scam! Any company that makes it difficult to cancel your membership is running a scam. Stay away! read more

was a nice carwash with good employees when Jack was the owner,now it's not anywhere near as good,cut the amount of soap,no pre rinse,only about half of the spot free rinse as before,and less drying not that it every was great,something going on with the right side brush's it now hits the mirror hard and closes it and also ripped the r/s wiper off my Mercedes twice,first time with my wife and they said she must have had them in auto mode? maybe she did the next time before she left to go I checked to make sure it wasn't in auto ripped the blade off again,I drove back to the carwash and again was told she had the wipers in auto mode,I asked to see the video,he said oh it's not working,canceled all three memberships on the spot,had been a member since the first month it opened,Went to Magic car wash became a member it's a much better wash read more

A nice drive thru carwash. 4 or 5 options, cheapest is $8 and goes up to $17 or $18. Friendly staff and a very clean and efficient operation. I stopped here on my way back to Philadelphia, but won't hesitate to stop in again if ever in the area. read more

I have a membership and use the car wash service each week. During one of the visits, the side mirror housing was ripped off. I had to ask the manager to go into the wash and retrieve it. He gave me info to make a claim and took pics. I filled out the information and included pics. The company determined that the mirror had preexisting damage, because there were no other claims for mirror damage, and when reviewing the video, the equipment was working fine. My car is in pristine condition, and did not have prior damage. It is a 2019 with 28K miles. I am so mad! read more

The assistant manager used foul language at me. He got in my face several times and refused to leave me alone. He then cancelled my monthly "membership" and refused to refund me the unused portion of the monthly fee. He also refused to tell me who the owner was. This is no way to run a business. I will not go back there and neither should you. read more

Good well maintained facility with commendable staff. Been a regular here and never had an issue. Although it's not gonna be 100% spectacular perfect car wash, the job does get done efficiently. Two lanes of lines and can be long at times, but it flows. Reasonably priced for the the type of service package you select. They also offer a monthly wash club. Enjoy the free vacuums as there are more-than-plenty of stations. read more

Every time I go to this car wash I'm never disappointed. They also offer free vacuums which is a plus!

Everyone was super nice! They came outside to check on us to make sure we were ok and it was my first time in a car wash so they were super helpful and kind. Also for the wash it self my car is super shiny and i only payed $8! will definitely be coming back. :D read more

Nice car wash that actually cleans your car. My car is normally still a little dirty in the front at other car wash plaves, bit not this one. It was well worth the $7. read more

I go to the one off of Naaman's road. When it's good it's well worth 17 bucks for the wash that includes armor all on the tires. But perhaps 2 out of 5 times my car is clean but dries spotty as if the water was dirty. Or perhaps the dryer blower fluctuates? Frustrating. read more

Typically, I don't expect much from car wash places. The employees just let the machines do the work and wave you on. If you're unsatisfied, tough luck it's not their problem. This place is different, the service here is amazing! I came here for a car wash and was pleasantly surprised that they offer free vacuums for unlimited time. You do have to bring your own towels though if you want to wipe down your car. I still had some crusty bird poop residue on my car even after the wash, so I asked if I could bring my car around for another wash. Instead, one of the employees came over and personally cleaned it off for me! He didn't have to do that and I didn't expect him to but he did. My car and I appreciate that, such excellent and hard working employees. Not to mention how reasonable the prices are--probably not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and your car will be CLEAN. read more

All: I've been a member for 2 years. This place is the best car wash in N. DE. The owner is friendly and always helpful. It disgusts me how customers try to trash this place. If you are looking for a good reliable car wash, that washes your vehicle perfectly every time, this is the place. The vacuums work well. They suck! I'm so glad they opened up on May 15! Why they were closed by the government is beyond me! There is no interaction btw customer or workers, unless you need help. My truck will look great again! read more

This is a shining example of how a proper car wash should be. Clean facility, friendly staff, easy pay system, all high end. The self serve vacuums won't disappoint either. read more

In and out with a quick wash and free vacuums! I thought it was a little pricey but I don't get my car washed often. It was $15 for the wash that included the wax coating (definitely needed when driving in Philly). The wash took around 4 minutes, which was very fast. My car looks very nice after getting this wash. It's so shiny :) too bad within 24 hours of the wash I already got bird poop on it womp womp read more

I have been a member for a year at your claymont wash everyone always nice very courtesy if something is broke it's fixed in a timely manner I'm 62 years old been to a lot of car washed this is the best class act again class. read more

I don't really understand these other reviews. This isn't a full service car wash and doesn't claim to be. I did the $11 car wash. They had the $8 and $15 as well but the mid-grade was really all I needed. You pay at a machine and are ushered onto the track. Throw your car into neutral and enjoy the ride. Afterwards you can use the vacuums for free. The hose is long and the air flow isn't pathetic like some of these other places. I left with a really nice clean car after 15 minutes and $11. I'd say this place is a great, fast, convenient place to snag a car wash. read more

On a recent sunny, sunny Monday I took the G8 for a bath. Me and the rest of Newark decided to converge all at the same time and the line flowed seamlessly. The staff of gentlemen are polite and helpful and keep the facility very clean. The restroom is very clean as well and available to the public. The car came out clean and the vacuums have enough power to clean the carpets, although the dog hair is tough regardless of the sucking power. I live in Wilmington and we have nothing like it here! ( hint hint). I will be back, several times i'm sure. read more

Great wash! monthly customer here! but seriously i shouldn't have to tell the employee to please use bug spray EVERYTIME when my white car is covered in bugs lol read more

I drove out of my way because of the high reviews on this car wash, but when I got there it's not touchless and the ribbons are very heavy and sloppy they did not clean the front of the car. I actually had to go back and hand wash some of the bird stains off of the vehicle. Definitely not worth the drive. read more

I just signed up for the $17.50 package with free vacuuming. This car wash advertises, "UNLIMITED WASHES", with their package deals. I wasn't given notice of the terms and conditions until after I paid and went through the car wash. After vacuuming, I drove off and started to read my "terms and conditions" when stopped at red lights. It says at the bottom, to "please limit your washes to one per day". Obviously I was confused. I called and asked to speak with a supervisor. The man that answered the phone said he was the owner. Can't remember his name tho. I asked him why he advertises "unlimited" but places limits on what should be unlimited. I asked, isn't that false advertisement? The "owner" did not deny this. He admittied to me that it was false advertisement and tried to offer an explanation and failed to provide one that made sense. He said it would cost him too much if everyone washed there cars multiple times a day. He did not seem to want to change the wording from "unlimited" to some different variation of limited. Although the price for one wash per day, for the month, saves you around $190ish, it's still horrible to draw people in with, "unlimited washes" but put in their fine print, limits to how many washes you can have per day. The basic monthly "unlimited" package barely gets your car clean anyway. I am an Uber/Lyft driver so I was sold on the free vacuuming. Is the deceit worth the free vacuuming? Possibly. Lol but I think this owner and his business cant be trusted. He's the kind of guy that will be calling his customers because of a data breach that could have been avoided if he wasn't that type to cut corners for a larger profit. Lying to customers is horrible. Especially about what they are getting for what they paid for. I paid for "unlimited" at $17.50. I am not receiving "unlimited" for the price advertised. I will not renew my monthly subscription. There are definitely other places to go to wash my car. I will gladly pay more to a business that exercises honest business practices. read more

I've been a member for a few months now and I am pretty happy. Occasionally I'll get a minor scratch or buff mark from their equipment but that is to be expected by a mechanical car wash. I find the limitation to their wash to be that it doesn't do the wheels or wheel wells very well, sometimes tends to leave soap spots, and the drying blowers leave a bit to be desired. Generally speaking its not an issue except in winter time when sometimes I just want to drive through and go without doing some hand wiping after the wash. I get my car washed 3-4 times a week for the past 4-5 months so I have pretty good experience with this particular car wash. I'd highly recommend the membership program, we have it on both cars and even getting your car washed once weekly, it easily pays for itself. I'd like them to put a hose or better yet pressure washer wand outside during the nicer weather months b/c I'd like to be able to hose out my Weathertech mats on occasion. I wish the free vacums had a little more power too, they don't get up dog hair or anything that's ground in very well. Its not usually a problem for me because I wash and vaucum so often but if you only occasionally vacuum, I can see it being an issue. read more

Best car wash around. Customer service by far outshines any other local wash. Membership options are the most reasonable around also. Can't say enough good things. Only thing I do not like is that the vacuum hoses are too short to go around your entire car so I have to climb over the seats to do both sides. If they could fix this they'd have my business for life!! read more

The vacuum does not perform well.... or at all for that matter. Everything else is great though. Wish they would fix this issue. My family has 9 vehicles that all get cleaned 1-2 times a week and we all started going to a different car wash. We will be back once this issue is resolved. read more

This was my first time going to the Blue Hen Car Wash. I really wanted a membership with a car wash, but wanted to try it out before I bought the membership. Lucky me that I did! I selected the highest cost in wash. I came out of the car wash to free vacuuming. Yay! When I looked at my car...there were still water spots all over my car, and even some dirt spots still left. I gave this car was 2 stars only because the staff are very friendly and helpful. Other than this, I will not be returning to this car wash and will be returning to the bear 3 minute car wash for my membership. read more

I just had my car washed there and full service was $15 which is not much. That's why you've to do all the hard job. The machine is doing cleaning, drying, and polishing of the exterior. YOU have to do the entire work for the interior of the car. YOU have to vacuum, wipe the car interior and exterior body, wipe the windows. I only saw two employees in the entire Blue Hen Car Wash. One is supervising and helping customers, if they need. The other one is operating the washing machine. I don't recommend going if you want a real car wash. read more

I chose the $11 package. The good thing is my car didn't get scratched. What I don't like the most is that my car didn't get washed well. There were white residues left from the soap. Those dirty places on the side the car cannot be washed. Also there was no one to towel wipe my car. I have to drive my car in a wet condition. People work there is also funny. I was buckling up in the entrance and there was no car behind me but he still got very anxious and push me to hurry up. I'm pretty sure I won't go back. I miss the hand wash in new jersey read more

Worst customer service ever! I sat in a line and watched 8 cars from the other side go through. The people at the garage we're standing and talking the entire time oblivious to what was going on. When I tried to say something he told me he didn't want to talk about it please wait please select extras please wait the wash is busy at this time read more

what a great place to get a great car wash and vacuuming, customer service there is also outstanding, so glad I found Blue Hen car wash...owner Jack, so wonderful to his patrons Say hi to Jack, tell him Elaine highly recommends Blue hen car wash Kirkwood H'way Newark De and only $7!!!!!! read more

OK...well the owner has reached out to me and has realized that there is a problem that needs his direct attention. While I have not been back (yet!) I will offer that he has provided me with the guarantee that he has met with his personnel and is dedicated to fixing the issues that have recently been prominent at the car wash. I believe his sincerity and hope for the best. read more

Brand new car wash off Kirkwood b/w 273 & 7. I've always used the $6 drive thru car wash off Limestone & Kirkwood with a fill up, but this pale is a sweeter deal. For $7 you get your basic car wash/blow dry (most gas stations don't have that/air dry), but included is FREE VACUUM. Can't beat it. Don't know how many times I've had to rummage for quarters only to run out of time when I'm 3/4 way through. Only reason I'm not doing a 5/5 stars is you have to pay $1-$2 to get a sham or detailing sponges and then your hands are all nasty. Great car wash place, will be my new spot. read more

While going through the wash, a part came off my car. The attendant told me that there should have been a sign stating that they are not responsible, but since there was no sign, the part would be fixed. I gave him my number and no one called back. I called the owner and he didn't return my call. I fixed it myself with $3 fasteners. What bothers me the most is I was not called back regarding this. If you value your car, think twice before going here. read more

Sever shit... I was move out state and i forget cancel the membership. When i call them to cancel and they said the money we cant be refune. So am pay for one month without sever and I feeling like Rob me.. I know they dont care about it cause am just one little business. Lost me is not important to them. read more

The epitome of car washes. Easily the nicest one in Delaware. Staff is great and helpful. Your car is ALWAYS clean after going through. It's packed every Saturday & Sunday because it's the shit. If there were 6 stars I'd give it to em. read more

Not a very good result. Bugs residue remained. I told my concerns to the attendant and they just tried to blame the car for a pre-existing dirt condition. Whatever that is. Just my opinion, but not a good place to do business! Go down the street to Magic Car Wash, you will be happier. read more

Great customer service along with a great car wash makes for a very happy customer! I paid for the vacuum not knowing it was free with a car wash an employee handed me $2 out of his pocket upon mentioning this to him! Best car wash around read more

Quick and effective car wash at a decent price, staff is very helpful, vacuums are free with every car wash and the washer itself makes a good job. Only downside is they don't offer a touch free option. read more
