Entering the automated car wash.
Rob P.

Spaciousness, clean facility, friendly staff & attendants, fully automated state of the art machinery & new. My SUV was covered in road salt from commuting from Tennessee. Vehicle came out very clean. Love this Black Owned facility.

Bumper damage

Star only there because I had to push to submit I am warning every driver in this area: do NOT trust this car wash with your vehicle or your safety. What happened to me should never happen to anyone. I brought in my brand‑new 2025 Mercedes‑Benz, a $100,000 vehicle with barely 300 miles on it. While inside their wash tunnel, the workers lost complete control of my car. I watched in disbelief as my vehicle shot forward on its own, workers scrambling to stop it, until it slammed into a brick wall. This wasn't a minor mistake -- this was a dangerous, out‑of‑control incident that could have seriously injured me, my husband, or anyone standing nearby. We were terrified watching our car move unpredictably while employees tried and failed to catch it. What made the situation even worse was the owner's behavior. Instead of professionalism, concern, or accountability, we were met with rudeness, attitude, and zero responsibility. In a moment where we were shaken and trying to understand how our brand‑new car ended up smashed into a wall, the owner chose to be dismissive and disrespectful. There are cameras clearly showing the workers trying to stop my car as it moved on its own, yet the way the situation was handled afterward was unacceptable. No apology. No urgency. No care. If you value your car, your safety, or basic customer service, avoid this place at all costs. A routine car wash should never end with your vehicle damaged, your life put at risk, and the owner acting like you're the problem. This business needs to be held accountable for its negligence and unprofessional behavior.

Not perfect but adequate. Love that is black owned and they've got space for a restaurant that hasn't been occupied yet.

It's a car wash, just not really a decent one. I don't think the loose change that WAS in my door was that important.

First and foremost I'll start by saying I did not use their car wash; neither the DIY bays nor the…read moretouch-less car wash. I wanted to vacuum my car after the sun went down because it was so HOT during the daytime, it was over 90 and washing my car earlier in the day at another car wash (inferior mind you) zapped my energy. So, I looked for a car wash that was open late or 24 hours; thus, I ended up at Water Works. I was REALLY surprised to see how inviting the car wash is... I know it sounds crazy but the place is CLEAN and wide open. There are LOTS of car wash bays and LOTS of vacuuming/fragrance stations, probably 15 of them. It was GREAT to not feel rushed or hurried...and safe. The area is very well lit and I never once felt concerned about someone walking up to me while I vacuumed my new Audi, something I truly fear at some DIY car washes. I really liked the ability to use my credit card instead of quarters to pay for the vacuum. The only thing I WOULD recommend, and the only reason I deducted a star is the lack of a timer (plus I can't give five stars if I haven't used the actual car washing component...but I will try it in the future provided I can use my own sponges). The most frustrating thing about using these pay-as-you-go car washes is when you can't see how much time you have remaining. Granted there may be a buzzer/alert ringing telling you that you're in the last X (30 secs, 1 minute, etc.) of your time but it would be GREAT if the vacuum station had a timer; I presume the DIY car wash bays do have visible timers so you know how much time remains. All that being said, I most DEFINITELY would recommend this carwash. NOTE: I was not offered a free carwash to review this facility, I offer this review because I felt my experience warranted taking a few minutes to tell folks. That being said, I've got no aversion to the owner sending me a free car wash... Lol. Happy cleaning!!

A few months back, I was taking advantage of the service provided of the free vacuums. Being…read morecareless and not paying much attention, I took my air pod out of my ear and placed in my center console. I began to vacuum and did just the thing I didn't want to do. I sucked it up in there and in a matter of seconds, it was gone!! I thought that it was a loss, but decided to mention it anyway. The young man who helped me dry my car was still an ear shot away, so I asked him if there was anyway of retrieving it. His name is Mark, and he was very friendly and helpful. He let me know that they were closing soon, and fortunately for me it has just been cleaned out. He said they couldn't do anything until the end of the night but would check at that point. He looped in the manager/owner, who allowed me to give my number to the young man. Would you believe it?! An hour later, he called and told me that he had it. It would be in the office and that I could come grab it at my leisure. I did the next day, and thanked both of them repeatedly. I could've easily replaced the air pod, but the level of extraordinary customer service I received is unmatched. I was a retail store manager for most of my career, and understand how often complaints flow but how little acts of kindness and a job well done are applauded and mentioned. This is why I'm a member at this car wash and why I will continue to patronize this establishment. Keep up the good work! Thank you.

I had to wait for the owner, Troy to finish up with another customer. He came back close to 4 and asked what I needed. I told him that I had an appointment for the basic wash plus. He took my keys and started working on my car right away. He told me that it would take 45 minutes. I left to do some nearby shopping. I came back at 5 but my car wasn't ready. I sat patiently in their neat waiting area until my car was finished. Troy came back out at 5:22 and drove my car around. I paid $25 and a tip. My car was shining and although it didn't include it in the service, he cleaned my trunk. My wheels were shiny and clean and my car looked like it had wax on it. I was surprised because I didn't think the service included that either. Troy chatted with me for a few before I was on my way. Overall, it was a good experience. He goes above and beyond in his service. I think he needs more help in his shop though. A female receptionist would be a nice touch. Just a thought.

My appointment was scheduled for 9am on a Saturday and when I got there I was told they were…read morerunning behind. I waited nearly an hour before my car was serviced, and that time also included a breakfast break for the shop owner (only person working). The first time I visited last year was mostly fine. After the second time I noticed my dashboard and trunk were not touched. I chalked it up to a simple oversight and I cleaned them myself when I got home. My third visit this weekend was a repeat of the second time, plus I noticed that there was no vacuuming done under or in between the front seats. I found months old popcorn, a partial leaf, and lint on the floor between the driver seat and middle console. Additionally, the next morning I noticed that my driver side wheels still had some black residue, clearly indicating that a subpar cleaning was done. According to the website, everything that was not done was included with the mini detail so I was definitely played. I was also charged $120 for this crappy service, despite the website noting $115. I've frequented this place because they offer shop services (as opposed to just mobile) and the location is convenient; however, after my last visit I will not return. I'm convinced that the owner knows exactly what he's doing - he doesn't want to fully complete the services booked but is happy to take your money. I strongly recommend avoiding this shop but if you do visit, inspect the work prior to making payment.

My entire family and I have been coming to this car wash for years, and we've purchased more car…read morewashes than I can count. Until recently, we had never had a bad experience. Unfortunately, my last two visits have been extremely disappointing, and the way I was treated during my most recent visit has ensured I will never return. About two months ago, I purchased the Ultimate Car Wash, the most expensive wash they offer. I wasn't completely satisfied with the cleaning, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt, assuming the employees were rushing because I arrived close to closing time. Fast-forward to Monday, October 12, when I purchased the Ultimate Car Wash again because I wanted my Honda Pilot's interior and exterior thoroughly cleaned. Right away, the attendant attempted to charge me for add-ons I had declined, although he did remove the charges when I pointed them out. Inside, I also questioned another charge, and the employee at the counter insisted I must have told the attendant I wanted that service. I found her tone rude but let it go. When I drove away, I immediately noticed areas that had clearly not been wiped down. My large touchscreen still had dust and fingerprints all over it, and upon inspecting the vehicle at home, I found several other areas that had been missed. These were basic cleaning tasks I reasonably expected to be completed, especially after paying for their most expensive wash. Having experienced similar issues two months earlier, I was frustrated by what felt like another careless job. About an hour after my wash, I emailed the business to express my concerns. The owner, Richard, called and offered to clean my vehicle again for free. I politely declined, explaining that this was the second time I had purchased the Ultimate Wash and been dissatisfied. I simply wanted a refund, and Richard agreed, telling me I would need to come in to receive it. On Wednesday, October 14, at approximately 5:45 p.m., I returned after work for my refund. The man working at the front desk told me Richard was not there and that he needed to inspect my vehicle before issuing the refund. I agreed and offered to show him the pictures I had taken and emailed to Richard on Monday. Rather than handling the situation professionally, he immediately questioned why I hadn't returned right after the wash to have the employees fix the missed areas. I explained that I had other places to be and that it was not my responsibility to rearrange my schedule to have a service completed properly after already paying for it. As I pointed out the areas I was unhappy with, he told me my vehicle was very dirty and that I clearly didn't get car washes often. He then told me my standards were too high and that if I wanted a professional detail, I should have gone somewhere else. I was appalled. I paid for the most expensive car wash they offer. I was not asking for a professional detail or anything unreasonable. I was asking for the basic cleaning included in the service I purchased. There is a difference between expecting perfection and expecting someone to wipe down the surfaces they are supposed to clean. What made this experience even worse was the complete lack of accountability. I did not receive a single apology. Instead, this employee repeatedly blamed me, criticized the condition of my vehicle, and dismissed my concerns as unreasonable. His attitude was rude, arrogant, and completely unprofessional. When I finally told him that the way he was speaking to me was unacceptable and that I simply wanted my refund, we walked back inside, and he allowed the door to close directly in my face. I ultimately received my refund, but the way I was treated was disgraceful. My family and I have supported this business for years and spent a significant amount of money here. I never expected to be treated this way when simply trying to resolve an issue with a service that did not meet expectations. These last two experiences have completely changed my opinion of this establishment. The poor cleaning was disappointing, but the customer service I received on Wednesday is what truly lost them my business. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds to customer concerns says everything about its professionalism and respect for its customers. I sincerely hope management addresses both the quality of the cleaning and the way customers are treated when they raise concerns. After years of loyalty, I will not be returning. It is incredibly disappointing to see a business lose a longtime customer over poor service and an employee who showed absolutely no respect or willingness to resolve the situation professionally.
