There was a time when I would only take my vehicle to Wash Works but oh have times have changed. In short their services are trash. My windows were smeared,my wheel were still dirty ( I was told it wouldn't come clean and I did it myself). They were rude and the list goes on. So if you want to give your money away have at it! read more

Service quality, I wiped off my own car because it still was dirty mats hadn't been done ,mats still dirty..I don't think this is the same owner here.. they can improve the service. read more

Wash Works can get packed, I would carve out between an hour to an hour and thirty minutes from start to finish of this service. You first pay for the type of service you want then they wash your car and vacuum it out thoroughly. The wait can be intense because the line is typically long. I think it's a great value for the price, I paid about $23 for a wash and vacuum. I will definitely be come back to get my car serviced here. read more

Poor attention to detail. Should be 10 bucks not great at all. I am not pleased for thag amount of money.

Pay cash, is my advice. I tried calling to discuss this but there is never an answer. Went on a Thursday and paid with a credit card. The next day, there were multiple fraudulent charges. It was a hassle. read more

This place has changed so many owners, its like a revolving door lol. Lines have become ridiculous but they do have a monthly $60 subscription for unlimited wash which i take advantage of when i can, since i am not staying in your ridiculous line. I wash my car pretty frequently so to me the $60 is worth it. Service after the fact, well is my car better looking when it went in, yes. Howevee, some people are expecting detailed type flawless service you may not get that in these streets lol. read more

This used to be my favorite car wash when it really was Wash Works, - before it was sold. They were efficient and thorough and could easily handle a lot of volume. Now, it's painfully inefficient and slow (even during non-busy times) and unfortunately, not very thorough. It's such a disappointment. RIP, Wash Works! read more

The change in layout is awful. The customer service is poor. The place is DIRTY. Been coming here since 2004. Time to say goodbye. Went through the wash and my car wasn't washed. Had to go back again. The blowers at the end hit my mirrors even though they were turned inward. Very disappointed in the changes that happened here. They didn't clean bird droppings off my hood. So many things went wrong on this visit read more

Takes too long to get through for the cleaning and vacuuming. They line the cars up so you are stuck waiting for them as they work their way through. You shouldn't have to spend 30 minutes at a drive thru car wash. Just not enough people working. read more

They updated the wash tunnel which is nice, but the efficiency plummeted. It takes a lot of time to get in and out of the car wash if you get the gold/full service. It is not a bad car wash, but I don't have the time to wait over an hour to leave the car wash, when before it took 20 minutes at most. I hope they are able to figure out a more efficient way of running this business because there is potential, but as of now I have a hard time seeing myself come back. read more

This is definitely not the old Wash Works. Not even sure it retains the name. I loved the new setup. You drive to a booth, select the level of wash and pay. Then you drive your car through the car wash! Once done, you get in line and the attendants vacuum, wipe, etc depending on what you selected. They did a great job on my car - cleanest it has been in a long time- including wheel rims etc. I paid $28 for the gold wash,, but there are several levels to choose from. Then when it's done you drive off. The former store and inside area is gone, but there is still a restroom and under cover waiting area. I think my time there was about 40 minutes start to finish. Big improvement in my opinion. read more

First time back since new management. Went through tunnel twice, glad they caught that the car wasn't clean after the first time. I got the gold package, my interior wasn't spotless but they definitely vacuumed and wiped the dash down. The driver side was really clean but there was some cleaning residue left on the outside of passenger door. Took me a little over an hour. Definitely longer than the last time I was here but I'll be back! read more

Used to be a great car wash but this new ownership has let it slide. Will never be back. There used to be pride in ownership, nice plants around, and really good cards. All that is gone and their ac was busted on 104 degree day I came. Not enough personnel, takes forever to get through it, no nice waiting room. New ownership feels like they're just milking what used to be a good car wash. They don't even have the signs posted for different car washes they provide...they just hand you a beat up piece of beat up cardboard. The guy had the audacity to sell me in a membership...probably because they'll be out of business soon. Too bad read more

I think the overall 2 star rating is a bit unfair. I've been twice and both times I've been satisfied. On my first visit I went with a basic wash for $19 and it was indeed basic. Wash, rinse, vacuum, hand towel exterior dry, windows cleaned in and out and the inside dusted. On my second visit I went with the Super Works for $26.99. The Super Works included the basic wash with Triple Clear Protectant, Sealant Wax, Wheels Cleaned, Tire Dressed and Air Freshener. The wash both times took about 30 mins. I'd visit again!! read more

I was in line for 10 mins and the attendant waved a white women in front stating that she was there but she wasn't in line .The gentleman in front of me and behind me got out of their car cars and told him that I was in line and she was at the next door business on the side. And he let her stay there and ignored the fact that I had been their the entire time . I quess because I was black and she was white she got away with it. I don't patronize businesses that promote racial discrimination. Shame on you. read more

I asked a friend for a car wash referral and was told this "is where everyone goes" although they hadn't been in a while. That's believable because there were lots of people waiting for their cars. At one point, I counted 14 cars waiting to be dried/serviced amongst the 3-4 guys working. Then I observed the guy drying my car attempt to open the door and stand inside the car to dry to roof. Not sure why they don't have stools to reach. Also, I still had dirt on and in my car after the $30 wash. Definitely not worth it and won't be back. read more

They have definitely declined. So so slow. And the atmosphere is very grim. Not up beat as usual.

Terribly slow. Waited more than an hour for a basic car wash on a midday Monday! Need to hire more workers or do a better job of managing work schedules read more

I used to go to Wash Works 3-6 times a month (4 cars). The people who took it over raised prices 2-3 times and the service deteriorated. Now, another owner has taken over and raised the prices yet again and discontinued the frequent user card. I will never be back. Doing the math, they will lose a potential of $1800/year from my business. To lose a customer by not allowing a 10th cleaning which would cost them $1.00 at best is insanity. The owner should run for president read more

I would give this place no stars if possible. Went in at 11am on a Saturday and they won't do certain washes. Don't advertise something if you don't require appointments for the super clean wash. Ridiculous read more

I stopped coming here years ago. And couldn't remember why. Then I went back recently and recalled why. It's always some sh&t with this place. They don't offer the upper services at times for whatever reasons and not the time window. Customer service is none existent. Because I was there before the 90 minutes closing. I guess they stay busy because it's not a lot of car washes in the city. But guess who's not spending money there? Me! Not going back. And making a review now so that I remember to not revisit this one. read more

Poor car wash. New owners not the same quality and the new servicing structure seems to be off with this particular location.

Their machine wasn't working, so they did a hand wash. The only catch is, as I watched, it was just without soap, just pressure water! My car sat so long it had water spots. My rims weren't clean, and I didn't have the time to wait ANOTHER 45 minutes to have my car re-sprayed with water. read more

I signed up for membership at $38.99. The next month they took $58.99 and told me the first month was promotional only. I canceled my contract with the assumption that I was still in contract for another month after canceling my contract. Went to get my car washed within that month and was told I could not because I canceled my contract although I paid for the month. When asked for cancellation policy, service clerk was unable to provide one but said he would have owner contact me. Owner has not contacted me. They took my money for a month of service and would not allow me to use it that month. They basically got away with taking $58.99 from my account with no services! Please be aware of signing any memberships with this company!! read more

It's a decent place to come to during the week. The management is very organized and on top of things. Definitely come during the week so you don't get caught in the traffic of cars and people. read more

My how things have changed... and for the better (exponentially so, actually) Now, waaaaaay n back in the day, I used to come here for car washings. They were quick and proficient with theirs services offered. I was always pleased. Then about 10 years ago or so, the place changed and the work was always lackluster. Wipe downs were poor and streaks were everywhere. There would even be areas that weren't even touched. That said, I stopped going altogether. I wasn't cool with paying my hard earned money for subpar service that I had to go behind and finish FOR THEM. I went about my merry way for a decade always passing Wash Works and simply rolling my eyes. This past weekend, however, I was out & about and drove by. The cars were looking exceptionally sparkly (lol - yes, I said, 'sparkly') so I decided to whip around and get in line (there's ALWAYS a line on Saturday. Sunday - just be prepared). The manager was extremely friendly (dude in green shirt) and answered any questions I had. Once in line, it moved a lot faster than I expected. I opted to get the 'Super Clean' (47.99). This service includes: 'Super Works Wash'; thorough wiping of all vinyl/leather surfaces, thorough cleaning of cup holders door pockets etc.; Floor mats (4) are washed/ shampooed/ cleaned.; with sand or dog hair removal limited to time available. There's also a 'Rain Guarantee' - Rain within 24 hours of purchase - 48 hours to return for FREE Super Works with proof of purchase. I must say, once I got my car, it looked FANTASTIC! Showroom ready, even. The interior was spotless and my mats were so clean/ conditioned that I even slipped for the 1st day getting used to the newly polished mats. You may need to buff the interior hard pieces down (a little conditioner was left behind), but it was NOTHING to wipe down in comparison to what excellent work they did. Now I'm not a big spender for car washes but THIS was worth every penny. Glad to be back. read more

Went to WashWork on Howard St in Baltimore this morning. For the second time in about three weeks, their power wash tunnel is down. It was disappointing, but I went ahead and accepted the hand wash only, paid the full price to get my car washed as it was needed. I've always been super happy with their services, but today was just not Ok. They missed a bird dropping on my sunroof that I was able to get off afterwards with a Clorox wipe. Worse, the front of my car, just below the windshield wipers, still had a lot of "gunk" that could have easily been removed in the power pressure tunnel, was still there, see pictures attached. I've been extremely pleased with your services in the past and will return once your tunnel is back in service. Once you resume your regular services as well as the high quality, I am very likely to write an updated review. The "only" 3 stars are for the mediocre service received while your power wash tunnel is out of commission. Please let me know when you are back in business as I am a regular. read more

Won't be back until their tunnel is fixed. I don't want my car cleaned with a power wash that takes almost 45 minutes start to finish.

I've been coming to wash-works since it opening nearly 25 to 30 years ago and I've never seen this process move so slow. Over an hour to get my car into the wash and then it sits for 20 mins to get dried. I don't live in Bmore anymore, but here often and this is my last time coming to this place. New owners apparently took over more than a year ago and this is ridiculous. Horrible service! read more

Car had bird droppings and soggy leaves in the sill and streaks of pollen. I asked if they could run it again or finish the job and was told No. I asked for the Manager who was rude and aggressive when I asked for a refund. he said, it's hard to get cars real clean. I said that's why I come to a professional car wash, to get my car real clean. He refused to run it again or a refund so I picked up towels and paper towels and started cleaning myself. He told me that wasn't allowed and to leave and that I was banned from the car wash. I repeated that I'd like to leave with a clean car. He stood over me, I'm 5'2" and 64 years old and recently out of the hospital. And loudly said to me, Move your car now. read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT take your car to Wash Works! My car was dent-free without scratches before I went there on last weekend. Also, workers Stole multiple items out of my car as I waited forever and a day because their tunnel was down due to a broken chain. If there is anything missing out of your car after leaving there, trust me...it was them! Don't waste your time, belongings and money! A customer should not have to take items that belong to them out of their cars and off of their door when their spending their hard-earned money. Truthfully, the items weren't even worth the risk. Also, their customer service stinks! You're better off with a dirty, dent-free car! read more

Never I again!!!! They do a horrible!!! I rather go to a somewhere that's slow then go to this quick overpriced place. $25 and it looks like a $8 carwash drive thru read more

Couldn't have gone further downhill. Understaffed mess. Not a care in the world for a proper clean car, clean facility, etc. A good start would be using different tags on the wheels and the interior of the car. read more

I paid an up charge for having a small SUV. My car was covered in tree sap. They do not remove it, do kit give a disclaimer and did not compensate. So I pays over $30 for a car wash and my car was still covered in tree sap. I paid to have clean windowed and air freshener. Do not use this place read more

I got the Super Clean deal for 59.99. They scratched the side of my car and did not even clean the back seat. The workers yelled at me and slammed my car door. They also threw all of my loose change on the ground outside. I will NEVER come here again. Since they have switched ownership it has been a nightmare. Go somewhere else if you care about your car. read more

Paid for a Super Wash and they didn't clean the interior or bother to vacuum the trunk. All while taking 30 minutes. I called and they told me it was probably my fault because I probably didn't open my trunk. My trunk was open and I saw it open while my car was sitting there. Never ever again. read more

This used to be a good place to go wash your car. Never mind the prices rising sky high every year, never mind the days you just find the place closed, with no explanation. Today was my last time here, I had enough! For "Super Clean" they ask you to arrive 1 hour before closing, I was there at 3:25 and they still refused to accomodate me. The old guy Toni had zero customer service skills, he is just rude! You just lost a customer but I doubt you even care, you'll probably just raise prices again read more

I have been a steady customer until the pandemic and haven't been in about a Year. My first customer interaction was fantastic. Then I get to cashier and hand him my money in his hand. He proceed to put my money on counter. I explained to him good customer service is placing the money back into my hand to which he just stared at me. I then found the owner and explained that he should speak to him employee. Together we go to speak to the cashier and they start speaking in another language to one another while the owner is picking something from the cashier's hair. Neither spoke directly to me or in English. The owner nodded to me as if to say 'there all taken care of'. Last visit for this paying customer. on the plus side was I got the Super clean service and my car was spotless. The guy was very conscientious in detailing my car. read more

This place isn't what it used to be! I used to frequent this place weekly and was borderline sad when I no longer could anymore. Now I can resume to my weekly schedule and I'm not sure if I want to! The price has increased $3+ & options are more limited. I waited 20 minutes on Howard Street to get on the parking lot. Once on the lot, everything went pretty fast. The carwash premises is clutter free, sells hundreds of greeting cards, ice cream and car accessories. There's a sign displayed that states "no bathroom". As soon as I walked over to counter to pay, a gentleman asked where the bathroom was and was pointed in the right direction; left me confused. Anyway, my car was ready 10 minutes or less later. I was happy to see my shiny car and proceeded to leave. As soon as I got onto beltway, I noticed my entire front dashboard and all vents still had an abundance of dust. Cup holders were sprayed but not wiped out. I have utility mats that I didn't expect them to detail clean but I expected them to at least shake them out. I was very very disappointed... I spent 45+ minutes and $20 dollars and was embarrassed. I'm truly on the fence about returning! If I do, I'll have to perform the white glove test w the dust! read more
