A news article of the business criticizing a customer of theirs on facebook.

The owner yells at people taking a walk on the public sidewalk in front of the carwash. They even were rude to the homeless lady across the street. This lady is a community nuisance. If you go through the reviews, the lady seems to be rude to everyone. There was even a today news article written about this car wash because they were criticizing the state of a customers car on facebook.

Hi! I recently (today May 23rd, literally 5 minutes ago) visited this charming car spa via a friend's recommendation! I received a "Super Spa" treatment. My friend has had almost 6 cars, lives down the road, and frequents this place quite often; I trust his judgement when it comes to cars. My car was in need of a clean-up, hadn't been properly cleaned in about 3 years, just a few vacuums and hand washes here and there. To start this review off, I think it's best to acknowledge the heavy influx of negative reviews. To which I say... be quiet? It's very evident from the get go that this is a small, local, family-owned business. And for the convenience (and insanely beautiful prices,) it literally does not get better than this! I think a lack of customer decency and etiquette runs rampant through these reviews, because I had a great time at my first visit here. If you come in expecting to be treated like Rockefeller with an attitude the size of Napoleon, then I have no sympathy for you. I was greeted with a smile, told how today's visit was going to run, was rang up and paid for my service - all within 5 minutes. I sat on the most comfiest couches and watched 2 episodes of the Mandalorian. My car was finished and the lovely cleaning lady came in and gathered me off the couch. My car looks amazing. The side by side of the cup holders was my main concern, they were so crumby and dirty but they did AMAZING. Customer service was perfect. I'm not sure what the issue with people these days are, I will definitely be returning!

Stain and peeling after the detail was done

Took my car to get detailed because I wanted my leather seats professionally cleaned and they ruined my driver seat. When I took my car back to show them, owner stated it was nothing they did. Telling me I did something to it. Now it's going to cost me about $165 to restore my seat.

Publicly humiliates customers

You can do better elsewhere. Owner is completely unprofessional, mean and unhinged. Just keep reading through reviews here, this isn't something out of the ordinary. Be aware there is a track record of publicly humiliating customers due to dirty condition of their car when coming in.... to a car wash lol Along with accusing those with poor reviews of harassment, interference in her personal life and cyber bullying. In addition to many other reviews that state damage to their vehicles and theft during services. Seems like in responses from an additional owner, the customer is always wrong. I wouldn't trust ratings as it looks like the owner herself goes and gives herself full stars on other sites to boost them. I feel for her employees. They rely on her business for employment but her lack of humility and ill use of professionalism will drag them through the mud with her. However, as I see more and more publicly from her... I do wonder what working for her must be like? (Edited to add to read other reviews here from those who have witnessed how she treats her employees, sad). I encourage you to scroll through more reviews and take your business somewhere that treats their employees and customers better.

bad experience this place is ridiculous and the guys is very rude pay 40$ and inside of my car still dirty

Resulting damage.

I took my new car here (less than 5,000 miles) for a car wash. I asked for an exterior wash plus wheels and tires. Instead, what I got, was another customer's Dodge Ram repeatedly bashed into my vehicle. Normally, I take my car through the automatic wash uneventfully, the employees dry the car, do the wheels and tires, and I'm on my way. Not today. Today, the first time I tried to put the car through the wash, it moved my car through without washing it. Next, I made the mistake of allowing one of the employees to take my car back around through the wash. I went inside the building to watch my car go through the wash. Everything was looking good until about halfway through. At that point, my car stopped moving. I looked for an employee to tell, but there was no one in sight. I watched in horror as a Dodge Ram creeped up behind my car. At this point, I am thinking, "there ain't no way that Dodge Ram's gonna hit my car." But, it did. Over and over. After witnessing the first impact, I ran outside to find an employee. Another customer told me that by the time they got the conveyor stopped, the Dodge Ram hit my car about five times. After about thirty minutes of trying to get the attention of a manager to address the situation, I spoke to who I believe is the owner. She very aggressively stated that she could not take responsibility for the damage and that I should call the police.

My car was pretty cleaned up but the one persistent spot remained until I wiped it clean with the provided clean towels. Considering that the brushes went over it a few times I would've hoped it would take it but it wasn't the case. Still the washing was decent. It was getting close to 6 so I was able to quickly get a spot to do the wipe downs and there were plenty of towels in place for me to put some additional clean ups. The entry and exit is a bit hectic with traffic roaring down Semoran so just take your time heading out.

Staff is around to guide through the different selections and lead you up to the wash, and once the wash is over there is a light to OK you to drive away. The vacuum stations are pretty awesome-- you get the air dusters that blows strong air into little crevices AND a great vacuum for EACH side of the car without having to struggle or move your vehicle. At the station there's also clean microfiber cloths and basic cleaning spray, then a return spot for the dirty cloths which I saw a worker with a cart walking around collecting. The one down side is that there was still a few bug remnants on the front bumper, but you can't really expect a car wash to have the elbow grease of an actual person.

This will be long:…read more PSA to those who use THE WASH in Winter Springs, FL please proceed with caution. On 12/20 I brought my vehicle there for a full detail interior and exterior as a Christmas gift they had it all afternoon into the early evening. When I went to get it they had misplaced the clips for the floor mats and Ron insisted he would get new ones I told him not to worry about it. Immediately after leaving there I noticed an airbag error on my dash for the passenger seat. It wouldn't shut off even after I had driven somewhere so I called Ron and let him know. He was perplexed said it most likely was something got hit on the wires of the seat and he would look into it and call me right back (he never did). The next day I brought my car to the dealership because I did not want to drive around with an air bag error with a baby in the car and they confirmed that the control module was fried in the passenger seat due to the bottom of the seat being saturated with water. $416, and two days later at the dealership it was replaced and the seat was dried out. I kept calling all day and was not able to leave a message or get in touch with Ron. When he finally called me back he assured me he would make things right and asked if I could send him the reciept and if I had Zelle he would send it right over to me. I did both, and I still have not gotten reimbursed now 2 weeks later. My mom stopped by THE WASH and he assured her he would be taking care of me and played it off like he was confused then said he had a flip phone and would have to go to the bank at the end of the day to get the cash to give to me and that he would call me back. That didn't happen either. I ended up stopping by myself a few days later and he "wasn't there" but his mother and brother were who played as though they had no knowledge of the situation. The mother was very adamant that they would not be paying for the damage done to my vehicle and that there is no way to prove they did it, despite her son (the one who did the detail on my car already accepting responsibility and telling me he would pay for it.) I have been going to and sending others to this car wash for over 10 years, supporting them and telling others to support them being a small business and two young kids (when they started) doing a heck of a job. Sad to say this will be my last time and that I'm very disappointed in the lack of integrity and deceitful outcome of this situation.

Excellent service at a very competitive price!!! Ron cleaned my car from top to bottom and made it…read morelook brand new, which I did not think would be possible!
