We had our car detailed by this shop, they were relatively inexpensive compared to competitors. The…read morecar when it was returned to us was in stellar shape, looked and smelled like a new car inside. There were a few stains impossible to remove but they were well faded by the cleaning they did and barely noticeable without closely looking at the car. The car being used for Uber gets dirty pretty fast and was very stained up, so the fact they got it to such nice looking shape shows me they know what they're doing and what they're talking about in upholstery cleaning. We had the car decontaminated after a guy puked in the back, it doesn't remind me at all of the incident. So they definitely do a good job of erasing messes! Service is fast, they are quick to reply to messages left on the answering machine and they have a decent availability. There really isn't anything negative I can come up with about this business aside from its location. The location is in an office building which is slightly awkward and their work area is outside, but. They get a great job done so it works. It just feels awkward not being attached to a car wash.

I had a very disappointing experience here. I brought my car in for a full detail because there was…read morea smoke smell I wanted removed. I paid $240 for the service, plus a $35 tip, and I honestly regret spending that much considering the experience and results. First, the detail took TWO DAYS to complete. I've had my car detailed before and it has typically taken around 6 hours, so I was surprised by how long this took. The lack of professionalism was also frustrating. Their posted business hours on the door say 8 AM-5 PM, but both times I came in, they were not open at 8 AM. When I dropped my car off, I waited about 10 minutes past opening. When I came back to pick it up, I waited around 40 minutes for someone to finally open the door. When the employee eventually came to the door, there was no apology. He simply said, "Oh, I just woke up." I found that extremely unprofessional, especially after waiting outside for 40 minutes during their posted business hours. The shop itself was also very dirty, which did not give me much confidence in a business specializing in detailing and cleanliness. Most importantly, I'm not happy with the actual detail. After paying $240, my car honestly doesn't look noticeably different. I originally brought it in because of the smoke smell, and now, two days later, my car has an extremely strong chemical smell instead. I unfortunately cannot recommend this place.

Update: The manager…read moreat Arlington Car Wash sent me an email (attached below) and I am relieved that the young man was NOT the manager. Jason (manager) asked me to try them again and I think I will. I am adding TWO Stars because the manager seems to care about his business and most importantly his customers (read his letter below). Yelpers, I took one for the team and my first experience was not that great but I am willing to give them a second chance. It will probably be after 2 months, I will visit them after I get my oil changed next door. I would love to hear other Yelpers' experiences with this Car Wash before I go back. Letter from Arlington Car Wash: "Hi Jimmy, This is Jason the manager at Arlington car wash and detail. Nothing bothers me nore than a dissatified customer. After reading your review and speaking to my employees it seems as though there was a lack of communication between employees which in turn tarnished our relationship. I am asking for you to try the wash another time with or without extra services and introduce yourself to me so we can talk about what happened. I am reversing the charges from today's service as I don't believe we satisfied you and we didn't earn the monies that you spent. These reviews are important to us and not only reflect on our business but us as individuals. Please give us the chance to redeem ourselves and change your opinion of Arlington Car Wash and Detail. Thank you for your time, Jason Otterness" Friday 10/14/2011. 11:00am I had my oil change done at the Arlington Toyota which is next door to this car wash. I got a "free car wash" by changing my oil there. I am not sure but I think this car wash is owned by the Arlington Toyota, I could be wrong. I drove to this car wash and the young lady explained what they were offering. It has been a while since I got the interior cleaned so I opted for the $50 option where it includes the interior cleaning and shampooing. First the car goes thru this tunnel (exterior wash) then you are directed to an area for the interior cleaning. This young man, I assumed to be a manager or a crew chief tried to tell me that I had paid to get the back seat shampooed. I told him that I thought I had paid to get all the seats shampooed. I told him how much I had paid and asked him what that included. He said he did not know. Now, I knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to get out of shampooing the front seats. This is not a first time where I had my car detailed or shampooed and I am very aware of the prices. I was already upset. I got hold of the young lady and asked her to inform the guy whether I had paid for all the seats to be shampooed or just the back. She went and informed him to shampoo all the seats. He tried to be nicer after that but this is my first visit to this car wash and he has already left a very foul taste in my mouth. From the pictures you can see that they did not do a good job of cleaning my car. It was not worth $50.00 Next time I get a "free car wash" from Arlington Toyota, I will only get the free wash. I will not waste any money at this car wash and that is too bad as the facility looked good. It always boils down to the employees and this car wash has bad employees.

This car wash recently offered a $2 special for the basic wash. Since it is about the cheapest I've…read moreseen I decided to try it out a couple times. When you pull up the money is collected manually. The same person who collects the money then has to also guide the car into the car wash and also spray down the exterior manually. Then they have to go back and collect money from the next car. You can imagine this is a slow process. They really should have one person doing the payments and another doing the guiding and spraying. Once in, the car moves very slow and it is a long tunnel so it takes a long time to get to the end. The sprays and brushes are pretty minimal on the $2 wash. Also pretty much no dry on the basic wash. The result is so-so. Not exactly the best wash, but for this price, you really can't complain. They also have a free vacuum option. Overall, if you want the absolute cheapest wash and don't mind waiting, it is worth a try, but for a faster and better wash, there are other options for a similar price.
