Kiser and Anthony are the best. They've helped my girls driving through the wash for the first time, they were nervous. They're always honest, kind, and helpful. We will continue doing our business there just because their customer service is top-notch!!! Thanks Guys, you're so appreciated. read more

Zips Car Wash has been double charging me for months for a membership I never signed up for and never received an RFID tag for. When I brought it to their attention, they refused to refund me and could not provide any signed paperwork or proof that I authorized a second membership. I was forced to file a claim with my credit card company. On top of that, the vacuums are frequently broken, the business hours are poor, the lines are long, and the automatic entry often fails. This place feels like it's running a scam -- save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere. read more

There is no doubt that this location is extremely convenient for eastbound traffic on Poplar Avenue. All-in-all, this soft-touch, automatic, car wash cleans the surface grime off of the paint. However, the rinse cycle is wholly inadequate, and leaves a significant amount of soap on the surface of the vehicle. This wash is inferior to others, and not really quite worth the price. At least there is usually an attendant on duty. read more

Way too expensive. Cleaning takes time. This is way too fast and poor job. Do not sign up for the membership!!

The attendant took my hitch off without informing me as I was headed into the tunnel. As soon as I entered the tunnel a brush broke the antenna off my truck as well. Went back in to tell them about broken antennae and see my hitch sitting there. I wouldn't have known otherwise. I assume they were just going to keep it. They don't cover damage to antennae either. Zero effort to remedy the issues. 0/10 read more

I went in for a single car wash and they were upselling me on the monthly membership. I explained that I am not in town often enough to get the value weekly car washes. The attendant said he would sign me up for a free trial and cancel it before the membership kicked in. This turned out to be a ploy just to set me up on recurring billing which I've now incurred for December and now January with a charge hitting my account today. I called customer service today to cancel my membership, but they would not reverse the pending charge on my account from today. I do like the convenience of this place since it's in my neighborhood but I don't appreciate the scummy business practices by the attendant. I also think the lack of refund is a joke and frankly I don't believe it. read more

Paid for the most expensive wash and it didn't even include washing the soap off your car I guess. No undercarriage wash or high pressure wash either which I paid for. Clearly a scam. Stay away from any of the Zips locations. read more

The quality at this car wash was horrible. I had to clean my windows from the soap residue that did not want to come off. As I went through the car wash, the soap never rinsed off. Highly do not recommend this place! Never use again!!!! I read more

my mirror cover came off during the car wash because it is so rough on the mirrors. Obviously, I was a little frustrated with the experience so I asked an employee to help and he was not helpful. Went and got my own mirror cover out of the car wash. read more

Overpriced as hell. I waited in line 30 mins to run my car through. After getting through I vacuumed my car then notice that the cleaning stuff didn't do shit and left multiple streaks of dirt across my car. When I asked a attendant about it he said "I just work here." And "It happens to everyone." Well thanks smart ass great way to run a business. Look at photos I attached to see yourself. Don't come here I wasn't even allowed a refund. I spent 20$ for a half ass job. Bullshit. read more

A most expensive vacuum job ever. Went through the Zips Car Wash on Poplar, just west of Mendenhall. Wasn't their best day. Paid my $15. The employee operating the pay machine tried to sell me a monthly package for $30. Glad I didn't agree. So I pull up, make sure all my windows are closed, etc. Had to wait about three minutes for the manager to move out of the way. He and the postman were busy speaking to each other. Apparently, this business was so important that it could not be conducted elsewhere on the property. Finally, he moved and it was my turn. Went through the car wash. Where was the pretty soap, you know, the psychedelic stuff that falls trickles down the windshield? I sure didn't see any. I alerted an employee about the lack of soap. He who told me that sometimes the dispenser doesn't dispense (?). He suggested I go through the wash again -- at no charge. By that time, the line to enter the wash was very long. By this time, I really just wanted my money back. I mean, really, if they don't have any soap, why waste my time. I expressed my desire to the employee with whom spoke to earlier. He said I needed to speak with the manager -- the one who had the important postal business in the middle of the car wash entry. By this time, the hypocrite manager, who was busy screaming at the other employees about making customers wait, seemed to do his level-best to stay in the mist of the water to make certain I would not approach him. After a few minutes of waiting, the car wash line shortened and I went through again. Who knows? Maybe the dispenser was malfunctioning on my first ride. Well, hell. Guess what? No friggin' no soap second go around. Figured it was useless to track down the hidden manager. So, I vacuumed my car and will write or call the home office to complain. A $15 vacuum! At least the inside is clean. read more

Zips Car Wash - It's 4:17 p. m. On a Wednesday and they are closed for maintenance but there isn't any workers fixing anything. - Car Wash Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

When they first opened, they were ok. However my car was coming out of the wash with areas that didn't get cleaned. It was obvious that the brushes hadn't even touched those areas. Save your money and go elsewhere or do it yourself. read more

I have come here with multiple cars and the car wash never gets my car clean. I believe that places should have the ability to redeem themselves over a period of time. So I thought I would try again. I have consistently found that when I leave here there is still soap on the car. Then oddly enough I find the back is still dirty. It's as if the car wash can't figure out what it wants to do. I have frequented other Zip car washes and don't have this issue. So my feedback is to definitely try Zip's, just not this location. They have a good membership plan. You just have to determine if there are locations near you to make it worthwhile and most certainly you want to make sure the car wash actually cleans your car. read more

It cleaned absolutely nothing on my car. Half of the little brushes didn't even move. My car came out just as dirty as it went in. The windows were clean and that was about it. At least the vacuums worked? read more

Visited June 24th 2023, First time using Zips, I have used numerous other automatic style car washes for my 2021 Ram. I ran my truck through the Poplar location and discovered dents down the passenger side of my truck. The damage pushed my front fender in casing the passenger door to catch the fender when opened and dented two other spots on the bed in front of and behind the wheel well. My truck was pristine prior to going to this place. The staff got me a site assistant manager (I guess the manager couldn't be bothered to come up there) who helped me file a claim and even said there was another truck like mine who experienced similar damage not long before mine occurred. I have dash cam footage of the spinning brush bouncing off the side of my truck but Zips denied my claim and cited no other vehicles had damage like this. I spent 20 dollars on a sub-par wash and now have to pay an additional 500 to have the dents pulled. Wasn't even offered a refund. read more

The employees here are such scammers. As soon as you pull up to pay, someone is there to "assist" you with inserting your card to pay. He tries to upsell you to a membership and when you are not interested he runs your card over & over pretending like there is an issue with their computer. Of course, your card is charged every time he runs it. I disputed the extra charges but who has the time for that extra aggravation. I would not recommend!!! read more

BELOW ZERO is my rating!!! Car wash always closed for some reason & a bunch of other reasons. SORRY ASS CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! you

I'll admit that my car hadn't been washed in "a while" and I was courted by the free car wash you receive for downloading their app, but I'm not sure this car wash did anything to actually clean the bugs and grit/grime off of my car. The sides were fine and looked shiny-ish, but the front and back of the car looked like they hadn't been touched or even worse like the dirt and bugs had just been smeared across the car. I also was disappointed that they didn't have a soap/sponge station where you could sponge down your extremely dirty areas (like where bugs have built up) before going into the car wash. How does a car wash that promotes itself as being the best to remove bugs barely get any bugs off of the front grill of a car? I don't get it. In addition, the "free" vacuums aren't quality ones. They barely suction; I felt like I had to keep going over the same spots to get the loose dirt. On top of that, the guy directing entry into the actual car wash didn't say a word to me. Not one word. I pulled up to the start, and he pointed to the sign and walked away. Ridiculously rude. I'll take the free one, which was supposedly their best wash (yikes), but I won't be back to pay for a product that doesn't do what it says and people who can't say a simple hello or put the car in neutral. read more

This is straight up the smallest car wash I've ever been to. It's so narrow and really only big enough for one car at a time. Tucked in between a railroad track and a busy street, it is extremely average. read more

If I could give less than one star I would. The absolute worst car wash I have ever driven thru. My car looked no different than when I drove in except for the fact it was wet. Don't waste your money. I am certain I never will again. As I finished writing this review. I am noticing my charge on my credit card was higher than what I asked for...now I have to leave my car and get the guy to check my charge. He gave me $5 cash back and said it was right in his system I don't believe it but ok. I think they are charging you whatever and hope you don't look. Fortunately my credit card chargers come immediately to my phone. If the car wash has been good I might not have notice he charged me extra...so I guess I should be thankful for a terrible car wash. read more

Hardly any of the brushes in the car wash work. For the prices you pay ($10, $15, $20) I expect a fully functioning wash. We went through this wash several weeks ago, and I alerted Zips to the problem of non functioning brushes. They apologized and gave me a code to use the next time. I went through again today, and not only did my code not work (so I had to pay for my wash), but also, this time, even MORE of the brushes did not work. My car still has bird poop and dirt on it. Go somewhere else. They should not take customers' money without disclosing that the car wash is not fully functional. read more

Do NOT come here. Would give 0 stars if possible. They will bill you 20 dollars for shit you didn't buy. It is seemingly impossible to cancel you membership. No phone numbers work. Nobody on-site will tell you how to cancel. The website is dumb too. I need to submit a request that somebody has to approve before I can even begin the process of membership cancellation? Fuck outta here. You don't even respond to those. And the car wash? Meh. read more

When I pulled up to the entrance an employee took my credit card and asked what type of car wash I'd like. I asked for the $15 car wash. He appeared irritated then asked me again. I reiterated I would like the $15 car wash, not the $20 or $25 wash. I checked my statement today and I was charged $20! I'm concerned this was done intentionally as I repeatedly said i wanted the cheaper option. Tried calling the location and the mailbox is full - go figure. Underwhelmed with this place. Vacuums are strong and that's about it..... read more

first of all, you can't pay at the kiosk anymore yourself. the attendant comes out with an iPad and has you choose your wash and you give payment to them. i know why. so they can sell you that unlimited package. i hate that. i don't want it and its obvious why they have these people saying the kiosk wasn't working properly. you go back 4 months later and the kiosk isn't working still? psht. anyway, i went to this one on poplar. chose the 18.00 basic plus wash. the dimwit lady working there gave me the basic. i still had cat paw prints on my hood and all the bird poop i went in with was still on the car. there was still dust on my rims too. im about to file a complaint with zips about it. i want my money back for this. i would have confronted the attendant but she was dumb and looked even dumber. i watched her for a minute and she stood in one place fo 2 straight minutes with her mouth hanging open...didn't seem like a good person to request a refund from read more

This place is now called Zip's I believe. And it's terrible. Just look at the photo. I had to go to Sunshine afterwards to get the mud off my car and it was fresh mud from this morning. Some guy sprayed me while he was spinning out in some grass at Shelby Forest. That sucked, but not as bad as the car wash at Zip's. read more

Absolutely horrible. My vehicle did not come out even the least bit clean. When I approached the employees to voice my concerns, I was literally screamed at (with expletive, no less). The manager refused to give me a refund, or the name of the employee who cursed me. Avoid, avoid, avoid. I will be contacting corporate. read more

This place was a good option 5 years ago but I think that was the last time they have done any maintenance on the equipment. I went through several months ago and the left side rotary brush was inoperable. Thought it was an isolated experience but went back a few days ago and it still did not function. When I pulled out the car was very poorly cleaned and still had soap dripping all over it. in addition, there was an attendant at the wash selection/payment stand who asked me what wash I wanted. Chose the $15.00. He took my card and entered the selection as $15.00 but did not give me a receipt. When I arrived home I found I was charged $20.00. Hard to imagine a worse place to wash your car. read more

If there was a zero star I'd rate it. Paid for a $20 car wash. The rinse wasn't working at all. They let us go through twice, didn't work the second time either. Then they had shut the vacuums off because of "rain" ...it wasn't raining. I asked if they could turn them back on. No. Then we asked for a refund...they don't give refunds. The manager couldn't help and the corporate number no one picks up. The worst. read more

I unfortunately, used the poplar Ave ZIP location for a quick $10 car wash. Upon going through the wash I discovered 90% of the wash did not work. I was not informed by any employees. I spoke with the gentleman he stated corporate only can issue refunds. I have emailed the support email. They do not give a phone number. I have little confidence they will respond. On top of everything, they changed the guy at the pay station changed me and extra $5.00 for an add on I did not authorize. I will be filling this under a fraudulent unauthorized charge. 1. Service not rendered 2. Charging people for things they did not approve. I encourage others to not use this pathetic company, and if you did and have this experience dispute it with your card company! While waiting on the receipt I was able to inform 5 cars waiting about my experience and they left, so that's the only positive read more

Being from Louisiana I'm accustomed to hurricanes, tornadoes and maybe a light ice storm. After Memphis basically went the frozen route and we began to thaw out, we had to get the whips washed. I personally like washing my own car but my wife is too cute for that and we stopped here after leaving Whole Foods. It's a simple process - you pay, you drive thru and you sort of glide on thru. They even have free vacuum Jawns so that your car can be clean from the inside as well. The only pet peeve is that the place is situated in an odd spot and if it's crowed it can get a bit stressed. Maybe my mini OCD/*everything needs to be in place* type of order may have kicked in. It's a great Option if you don't want to wash your car yourself!!' read more

I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND NOR DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN. Today 8/3/24 the gate was down and I used my pass but it would not lift. The attendant saw me pull up and I rolled down my window to get his attention and hollered politely, "Hello". He either choose to ignore me or didn't hear me, so I lightly hit my horn. Nothing. Another car pulled up behind me so I honked again...Nothing. The car behind me backed up and I started pulling out. The attendant said because I hollered and honked at him that he did not have to wait on me! WHAT! I pay for a service monthly. I was going to leave and I thought, "no, that's not right", so I got a pen and paper out of my purse and went to him and asked what his name was. He cussed me out and said he didn't have to give me $xxt and he didn't care, wasn't worried about his job because he was the MANAGER! I went across the street and signed up with MEMPHIS Wash Company - monthly, better car wash, and nicer employees! read more
