My experience with this location on a Saturday afternoon was surprisingly pleasant. I opted for the platinum service. Waited about 5-7 mins due to a few cars ahead of me. The guy who took my service request was one of the workers and not the creepy 30something guy. They did a great job. The team that did the final detail took their time and cleaned every nook and cranny. I had no white streaks. They never rushed like other car washes. I would come back here again. The only negative was the pregnant lady at checkout who was cutting her nails with a scissors while taking my payment. Her nail clippings were shooting my direction. Pretty disgusting. This place could be much better if the management and leadership were more customer Service focus. read more

Very poor car wash!!!!! I had to request towel/rag to wipe/clean center console (stains) and wipe tire rims that were left dusty and dirty. I also had to re-vacuum my car myself This was the "gold package " that cost me $43, Really not worth it when you have to redo half yourself. read more

They advertise that they are open until 5pm. I drove from Great Meadows and arrived at 4:40pm and they were closed. Waste of gas and time. I'm never going back. read more

Not going there agian Paid for the platinum and they didn't even spend the time to vacuum I could of done this my self super disappointment . I even said something and they went back and obviously did not care read more

Great service quick and car looks good when they are done. I just get the car wash and vacuumed

I paid almost $60 for the interior of a car that is absolutely filthy. When I asked for them to take care of the food that was still left in the front seat, they took a dirty cloth, wiped it, and left marks on my leather. I am done with this place read more

I would give them zero stars if I could. Here are my issues... 1. Creepy rude manager dude takes money for services you hope to receive. 2. They take a hard bristled brush alllllll over your car scratching the hell out of it. 3. Supposed to vacuumed everything. It was pathetic. Didn't even lift up my mats to vacuumed. 4. Payed 35.00 for a ultimate wash.inside and out. Supposed to get all mats washed. They barely vacuumed them and did not wash them at all. So just spent 2 hours in my tub doing it myself. 5. Dirty towls being used on my car to dry it off. I didn't see a washer. I just see a dryer. And towels spinning in it. So they dry those dirty towels and re use dirty towels. 6.No one friendly. Especially i the manager. He looked pissed I was getting the ultimate wash. I will never go back there again.and will tell everyone I know not to go there. Do yourself a favor and do not go to this dump. I only have gone there maybe 5 times in the 15 years I have lived in town and because it always was horrible. It just got much worse. Save your money and go to the chester car wash or the flanders car wash or the one on 10 in Succasunna. read more

Ultimate Hand Car Wash - Washed car - Car Wash Near Me - Budd Lake, New Jersey

I dont know why I keep going back here. I gave it another shot today. The wait wasn't so bad. However, when I got my car back they scratched my console and it didn't even look like anything was wiped down and cleaned inside. To be fair the outside looked very good and the windows were done very cleanly and clearly with no streaks however, the inside had dog hair and debris and my mats were still salt covered. I brought the car they're fairly clean as it is new and only has 4000 miles on it. I keep the interior clear of property and things that would be in the way when I take it to the wash. So when I give them a clean car I expect the little items that need to be cleaned up would be vacuumed and wipe down. read more

This was a great car wash. New owners don't even turn on the heat. You pay outside before they do a thing. Who uses a stiff brush on paint in a hand car wash. No longer any good. Actually they really suck read more

This place used to do a great job. Today I went and I paid 32 dollars for the gold wash, after waiting in a long line I was the next one up and they let an suv drive around and cut the entire line, the soap stopped working before my truck got through so only half of my truck was soaped, the undercarriage wash went off while my truck was stopped so they could figure out the soap issue, so by the time it went through the vehicle did not get the undercarriage wash. There was a man who works there smoking in the bathroom who proceeded to get in my vehicle directly after and when all was said and done the interior of my car got no wipe down, still dust covered areas, finger prints and marks, my car on the inside is dirtier than it was before it got washed. Not sure what I paid 32 dollars for. It's impossible to find a good car wash anymore. Won't be going here again. read more

Experience started with us waiting w/6 cars in front of us... which I didn't mind cause I had time... but I should have known better!! They hurried through the wash and I was super disappointed in the end product. The windows were dirty, and the car had streaks of where the water had run down. I would have complained there and than but there was a line again and I did not have the patience to wait in it again just to probably be disappointed with another rushed job. If you see more than a couple cars beware! Don't get a rushed job that will be a waste of money! Would not recommend or go back again. read more

Terrible! Waited about 35 min told the guy what we wanted which included interior vacuum. Pretty sure they didn't touch a thing inside. They charged an extra $2 for an suv on top of the price increase. The car came out covered in soap and they just gave it a quick wipe down. I even asked the guy if he could wipe the mirrors and he didn't understand what I was saying. By the time I got home the car was just covered in dry soap and looked terrible. I spent about 15 min trying to wipe it down. I'll never go back, I've gotten better car washes from the high school fund raisers. read more

Awful! Been going there for years, not only have they raised prices but they tried to up sell me then when agreed charged $7 extra for standard suv. Very disappointing! Will be going else where from now on. read more

One of the only car washes in town. On the weekends the line to have your vehicle washed is usually greater than 20-30 minutes. There is a man there that come to your window smoking a cigarette that gives you your ticket for the wash. He usually tries to pressure you into purchasing a higher priced wash. Once your vehicle is through the wash the team that dries it and cleans your windows smokes inside your car. Prices are high for the services you receive. read more

Update: use to love this place but after a number of times going and not getting all the services I pay for I've stopped. To be honest, no matter what level service you pay for, they do the same cleaning to your car. It really is a shame. I get my car washed here every couple of weeks. They always begin with vacuuming it out and they usually do a great job. I have a child who makes a mess in the back seat so everything is always clean. Then they hand wash and hand dry the car. I usually opt for the gold package so my tires get shined, windows cleaned, door jams cleaned and my dashboard is cleaned and dressed. I'm not really sure what else people are looking for honestly. My only issue is that sometimes there is sales person who does try to sell you a service but just stick to your guns and if you want to know what is provided at each level service ask and don't let them off the me hook until he or she explains everything. Update: not sure what's been going on but read more

Wtf?! I'ts 2pm, says their open until 6pm. I saw an SUV outside getting a wipe down and I asked them if they were closed, they said yes, wow. read more

Once again a bad experience here! Figured I'd give them another try, but that was a mistake. Poor attention to detail, poor customer service. read more

They close at 4:00pm on Sunday. Got there at 3:40 pm and the guy said they could only do exterior wash because they're closing. Usually don't like to leave bad reviews but in those 20 minutes they could've easily taken care of interior as well. Won't be coming back here! read more

A routine car wash turned into a $200 nightmare. I visited this establishment on 2/10/19 after receiving an oil change next door. My car entered in perfect condition but exited missing the mounding between the back windshield & cargo area. I immediately notified one of the workers. They allegedly went and looked for it and came back with nothing. I then proceed to ask for the manager "Morad" he tells me the same thing. I will be contacting the general manager as well as the owner as well. Beware of getting your vehicle washed here, if you do please take pictures before your vehicle enters so they can't deny any destruction their was does to your vehicle. read more

I got the full "VIP" detail of the interior and exterior. Very nice job. Would come again.

This place gives me the creeps. Specifically the guy who seems to be the manager(?). He is the 30-something man who takes your order when you pull up. There is something about him that just seems off. I saw one of his associates hit an employee. Twice. And the ladies who work the front desk seem to hate their job. Basically I think this place is a chance for the managers/owners to get rich off of their workers' backs. The cleaning job is mediocre. Wanted to like this place more since it is so convenient. I am looking for a place that is nearby and seems to treat their employees better (which, should have the secondary benefit of resulting in a better cleaning job). read more

This place used to be good the prices went up the quality of the car wash is sloppy. I can't believe that the owner is allowing this to happen. He should every so often check your car when it's done. I don't even like coming here anymore because of the crappy work and the high price. I have already had two cards stamped Full. So I have been there many times and when they see me they know who I am. I make them come back to my car roll down the windows and finish the job. They don't clean the cupholders. It's really not worth the price anymore. read more

I went today to get the hand car wash. I made sure that I removed all unnecessary things in my SUV. The two who washed the exterior did a good job but missed the parking mark on my tires. Other than that it was an OK job. There were three who did the interior. When I got home I found that the quick job done on the floor mats left enough dirt that I stopped and vacuumed them myself. I also had to go over the interior myself to complete the cleaning. The place only had three cars before me and two came in after so there was no excuse for me having to complete their work. The wash was only ok but not for the over $20 it cost. I will go elsewhere in the future read more

i would give this shit hole 0 stars if i could. we took the car to this car wash (which we've been to many times before) after a day at the beach. my husband paid an extra $10 for the leather seats to be done. so $63 for a car wash unreal. wouldn't have minded paying if they actually cleaned the car. they didn't rub in polish on the interior so it was slippery with smudges everywhere. the carpets and seats were barely even vacuumed. giant cheerios and hair left under the carpeting. When I called to ask what They actually cleaned I was met with a very pompous attitude. He asked why my husband didn't say anything when he got the car back and I said probably because he paid $63 he assumed that it was done right the first time it was also dark and he could not see until he got home and went over the car. The owner would not even meet us halfway and only charge us for just the exterior. He's a terrible businessman. On a sidenote my father had just taken his car to be washed there as well and was charged $53 for the ultimate car wash and basically received the same type of service. The wheels that were supposed to be done now look like they have a gross white film paint left all over them. He also did not realize they put some type of wax on the windshield. Today was the first time he had to drive his car in the rain and when you turn the windshield wipers on the water mixed with the wax in the windshield wipers spread it all over the front of the car so he couldn't see. This place is absolutely terrible from every aspect. Do yourself a favor and save yourself Some money and just go to denville detail or somewhere That will actually give you what you pay for. read more

Agree with one of the other reviews. This place also gave me the creeps. Esp. the guy who asks you for the service details. I felt him to be quite curt. The lady at the desk was quite nice. Also the service was not worth the money. I have been to other places where they charge less but do much better cleaning... I wouldnt visit this place again, though it is the closest to where i live. read more

This is by far my favorite car wash. I live about 20min away and I drive all the way to Budd lake to get my car washed here because they are so awesome and thorough. A bit on the pricey side but it's worth every penny! read more

As some of the other posters have mentioned, this place is terrible. After spending 24$ to get a Tacoma washed you would think that they would do a decent job. They seem to spend forever at the end drying your vehicle and cleaning the glass but what they are really doing is smearing dirty rags all over your dash and windshield. After I got home I had to re do all their work with the proper supplies and wax my vehicle. If your looking for a quality wash job this place is not it. I would also venture to guess the swirl marks on my black vehicles clear coat are also from this place as a result of using inferior towels that are never cleaned. Please don't take your vehicle here if you care about its appearance. read more

If you care about your car, AVOID this place at all costs! I've been coming here for 4 years, but today will be my last time ever coming to this place. They scratched the entire back bumper of my car. The owner didn't want to take responsibility. He decided to get angry and walk off instead of coming up with a resolution. read more

Disappointed they always forget the tire shine when you pay for it. Otherwise basic wash like any place.

Disappointed. Hope the owner checks out the comments and makes some changes quick. Not a good business model. Not going to be a repeat customer. read more

I just spent 27.72 to get my car cleaned and the windshield looks like crap. I will NEVER return.

This place is a rip off, they don't do a minimal standard job that you paid. The workers seems not to understand you when you asked them to clean the dirt. They only speak in their own native dialect..... read more

I went there today to have my car cleaned and hand waxed with orbital waxer. They did an amazing job. Even buffed out some nasty scratches on the clear coat of the hood. A hand car wash is hard work and these people do work hard and do a good job. They spent a half hour on my car and it looks showroom new read more

Best car wash ever, have been going there for over a year I have 4 cars they are the cleanest they have ever been and the service is great

This was a joke. I paid about $35 for their best car was. They didn't wax it like they said. There was still mud on my car and ashes all over my interior. They don't even touch my cup holder or anything. I will not be taking my car there ever again read more

Disresepctful manager. He does not communicate what's going on and gets a bit nasty when he's questioned about service.

I paid for the best wash they had and they left my windows dirtier then when they came in. I called later and they said that I must have mucked them up myself. Whenever I try to go back there to give them another try they are closed during their posted business hours. read more

Absolutely the worst car wash in the state. Can you award negative stars? This is the third time in three weeks where the wash sucked. Today I think the car came out dirtier than when it went in. The first 2 times they washed the car at the entrance out of sinks. They did this BEFORE the structure that is used to dispense soap and wax. The thing dispenses the soap and wax was not working. So you are not getting what you pay for. Then they take compressed air and blow it inside your car to shift the dust around. How about vacuuming better?? Today was the same crap. Washing out of sinks. No soap or wax. The rinse area was dribbling water. They never dried the door jambs today. Or put on the tire shine. And as I drove home into the sun I could see a film on the windows. It was difficult to drive. It was like they used the same rag to clean the windows of the previous 74 cars. When I got home I could see all the spots they missed as they washed the car from the sink. Save your money and go somewhere else to was your car. This place is the worst. read more

I asked or the platinum wash listed for 24.00. when I got to the cashier I was charged 30.95. They said it was because of it being a truck. They should have told me this before sending my truck thru to give me an option if I agreed to the extra charge. I wouldn't have. The step rails were not cleaned thouroughly,the back window was not cleaned, the chrome tailpipes were dirtier than before, the mats inside of vehicle still had mud on them, water marks all over the truck, the armor all they attempted to use on the dash was left full of streaks and blotchy. The experience felt rushed with inexperienced men and women trying to catch up. I wont return. read more
