Honest work deserves recognition. I can appreciate a business that gives you exactly what you paid for in record time. I got an interior detailing along with an external wash and wax and my car looks exactly as I bought it in 2014. My car was a lot, from food and drink spills, dog hair and slobber, sweat and dirt from picking up my sister and her friends from the beach and sports practices and about 4 years of no true internal maintenance - it was gross. The owner, Marco, is friendly and efficient. I appreciated how upon inspection of my vehicle he did forewarn me of any possible issues for removing dog hair from certain material and that it might take extra time but my expectations were exceeded because the interior of my vehicle is unrecognizable and done faster than anticipated. I do want to note my booking experience. I booked my initial appointment online for a Thursday, I was quickly emailed and phoned by Marco to reschedule due to inclement weather. I rescheduled for a Tuesday and had gotten rained out again, only that time i wasn't notified the shop had closed for the day. I gave it another shot and rescheduled online for the morning after and i received a call from Marco immediately after booking. I explained how I wasn't notified about the second cancellation and he was sincerely apologetic and determined to make this detailing happen. In addition to that call, I received an email later that evening confirming the appointment and making it happen "rain or shine". I'm glad I gave it another shot because my car looks amazing and i really appreciated the ease of booking online and the confirmation calls by the owner directly. Makes the customer experience more genuine. Despite any issues with the above rescheduling scenario I still give this a 5 star rating, because honest mistakes can happen and obviously no one can control the weather, but most importantly my car detail looks superb. read more

Came in to get the car cleaned and wanted to focus on the interior, so they recommended the VIP wash. Outside looked great, but they definitely could have done a better job in the interior. There were some spots that still had dirty that could have used an extra wipe. they also didn't clean the trunk at all, although I had some golf clubs in there but they could have removed them. Overall, I'd say worth the $35 it for a basic clean. read more

I've tried a few other car washes in the area but this spot is definitely the best. Truck came out very clean and will stick with this place over others in the future. read more

My wife and I took in a Mazda 6 to get detailed and let me just say WOW!!! Owner and staff went above and beyond, sent photos/videos throughout the process via text and when it was complete the car looked brand new off the lot. They've gained a customer for life and if you're looking to get a vehicle detailed look no further. Pricing is very competitive and they went above and beyond in every aspect. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars, so happy with the experience! read more

Great service, car detailing was immaculate, advanced auto spa is my go to when I want my car shining like new. Also did a great job on my interior detail. You will get a video while they work on your car. Price is fair, but you are getting a fantastic outcome.. read more

Very good wash. Truck came out very clean and it was very dirty. Filled with salt and junk from the road. I am sure if I had it done more often it would have been even better read more

Made a yelp account to warn people. Was recommended by a friend of mine to come to the car wash (not detailing section). Was genuinely surprised how bad of a job they did. Got the VIP package, their highest package (albeit still cheap in price). Windshield still dirty. Plastic car mats still wet. All the water from the side view mirrors back onto my car doors by the time I got home. Barely looks like they touched the dashboard or middle console given the many finger prints still present. Bird poop somehow still on the hood. Couldn't even place the plastic mats in properly. If that's the best package, then I'm not sure what you get for the two below it. Stay away at all costs. Unless you're getting your car detailed. That guy looked like he was actually cleaning and doing a good job. You'll have a better clean by putting soap on your car, letting it rain, and drying it the next day than coming to this place. read more

The Advanced Auto Spa was basically burning money. I received package 2 considering my car is brand new and the inside is basically spotless. The women and man vacuuming my car did a once over on the mats and trunk, I was standing right over them and they still gave it little to no effort to vacuum. When the car was "washed" and they people went to dry it, they left streaks, there was STILL BIRD LEAVINGS on my windshield (the reason why I got the wash in the first place), and my rims were still dirty. Even when I checked my trunk I was shocked at how it looked. I spent 30 minutes when I got home properly vacuuming, cleanin the rims and removing the bird leavings. - side note, I found an empty blue "5-Gum" gum wrapper on the drivers side mat....how do you miss a blue gum wrapper when vacuuming?!?!? I was in a rush to leave because I went on my lunch break but I wish I stayed to look at the car because I ended up spending more time re cleaning it. Very disappointed It is difficult giving a local business a bad review during a pandemic but bad business is bad business. I would definitely not recommend. read more

This was my first time using Advanced Auti Spa. I must say that they exceeded my expectations. I truly mean it. My car was detailed to the point where it was brought back to showroom beauty. My kids did a number on the back seats and you would never know how messy it was before. The woman who detailed my car did an excellent job. She treated it as she was doing her own vehicle and I truly appreciate the time and effort she put into the job. Thank you. I would recommend this Car Spa for sure. I will be back again. read more

Superb service, timely, accommodating and very friendly. Brought a 21 year old ES300, in major interior detail needed. Marco and his staff did a phenomenal job. I would use his establishment again in a heart beat. Very impressed and the customer service, is as it should be. read more

Wow, am I impressed! Could not find a decent car wash place for the longest time. Really needed my interior done as well as exterior. Stumbled upon this place last minute and was truly pleased and humbled by the friendly staff and generous service!! Got the VIP wash which included everything I needed; they even shampooed my rugs - for under $40!!! Like, what?! My car is so clean now, I'm very happy. I hadn't' been able to find any place to do interiors since the pandemic started! I will definitely return and highly recommend. Love the modern and clean receptionist area. Had a lovely conversation with the front desk clerk. Thanks again, y'all!!! read more

Full car wash, carpets shampooed and everything vacuumed for $40 that's a price that can't be beat

This is the best car wash ever. When my girlfriend wanted her car detailed we found Advanced Auto Spa on yelp. It was like the middle of winter and that didn't stop them at all. They detailed the car under a tent and the car came out like brand new. I live in Roselle and whenever I get the chance I will travel the distance to get my car washed there. Great ownership and staff. Also very affordable, with a 2 day rain guarantee. A must go and see for yourself. read more

Now I do not leave reviews but this positive and much deserved review is way overdue as my family and I have been going to this carwash for years. My grandpa who lived in all the way in New York, would wait to get a carwash for when he came down to Jersey to visit. He would plan to get a carwash every Friday morning for years before his passing. He trusted this carwash and very much respected the owner. In addition to that, about a year ago I brought my old Volkswagen Passat in with writing on my car from those decorative car markers. I could not figure out how to remove it for 9 months, even after going to get a carwash somewhere else. The owner knew exactly what to do immediately and so kindly removed, giving me so much relief. He is so sweet and efficient and even did it for no charge!!! I highly recommend coming to this carwash if you are having trouble getting your car cleaned! read more

Nothing sets this car wash apart from the rest. They get you in and out as quickly as possible, without really paying attention to the details of their work, even during off-peak weekday hours, when the conveyor belt is empty. The exterior car wash I had left most of the soap in the front grill, the SUV wet after "hand drying", and the tire shine which was applied directly onto wet tires was gone 10 minutes later when I arrived home. The staff was very friendly, but more emphasis needs to be given to the quality of work. read more

I cannot recommend a better car wash service. Marco is the definition of impeccable customer service. He inspected my car (which mind you has not been taken in for a clean in over 3-4 years) and educated me on what needed to be done to bring it back into shape. My car is now spotless and I have him and his incredible team to thank. I cannot recommend a better car wash service (did I say that twice? I mean it!!) read more

Very quick to respond with an appointment. Fast service and very reasonably priced. Went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the work done and extremely professional. Advanced Auto Spa has won a new loyal customer! read more

I came here with a friend since she was in serious need of a car wash. It was Saturday night so it wasn't crowded and the guy who works inside was super nice and took his time to explain to us which air fresheners he prefers since I can never find one that lasts. I got to use their bathroom and it was a very pretty clean bathroom especially for a car wash. They took their time to vacuum and clean the car well. If I'm ever back in the area I will come here since they really do a great job. read more

Best Car Wash Hands down!!! Every time I come here I always say I have to write a review. For 20 bucks your car will look brand new! Inside and out. One thing I love is they are consistent! Every single time they do an amazing job!! I think the tall guy there is the owner... the cutie but he is always out there working just as hard as his employees. This is thee spot to get your car washed!!!! Trust me.... I'm very critical of car washes. This place gets it right every single time! Thank me later! read more

My New Truck needed a good detail..Being a full-time College Student at Rutgers Newark, Mortgage Broker, and Mom I am in my car more than Half of my day. I've had it for almost a month and it was trashed. I wish I took before and after pictures. Mom life! Haha But Seriously all jokes aside...I look like I just pulled out of the Hyundai dealership. The Advanced Auto Spa Team on Route 34 is Phenomenal!!! They are my Favorite Car Wash In Matawan! HANDS DOWN! I will never go anywhere else! The pictures don't do them justice! Stop in and Check them Out ASAP!! read more

I showed up The other day and I'm shocked how bad some people are at their job. My car still had soap all over when it came out of wash. The dryers had no interest in drying the car. I had to ask for a rag to finish drying after they walked away. They barley vacuumed the car. Back floors were not even touched. There are plenty of car washes on 34 and in the area. When I tried to ask them To get the soap Off I was quickly dismissed and they went to next car. If I wanted a $5.00 drive through wash I would have went to one. Not to mention the complete disrespect of blowing me off when I simply just asked for what I paid for! Shame on you Advance car wash for such a bad experience! I'm glad the owner replied! 1... I do t have a third row in my car. It's a 2 door sedan! so you suggesting "I was having a bad day" was not me... 2 I never get the lowest package... 3 glad to know you have no interest in making it right! Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks you do a crappy job! I'd give you 0 stars if it was an option! read more

Great service. Really fast. Owner and son even help to dry the cars sometimes. My friend goes there with his vintage vehicle with no worries so I knew it'd be trustworthy. read more

First time there today. A guy at the Aberdeen Car Wash told me about this place after he had a bad experience at Aberdeen. Great service. Even the owner works on your car. None of the issues i had at Aberdeen i had here. This is my new spot! read more

We dropped off a dusty, 10-year-old car that had survived multiple cross-country moves, and picked up a brand new car! I swear, I didn't even recognize the car when I came to get! The attention to detail was astounding and I felt like the owner gave us a fair assessment -- he didn't try to oversell anything, and it was completely worth what we paid. We will definitely refer our friends and family! read more

Marco and his staff are the absolute best. He was able to clean my car and get rid of an odor that I could never do. His attention to detail is second to none. I recommend Marco all day every day. I would not go anywhere else. read more

I'm only compelled to leave reviews when I have fantastic or awful service. Unfortunately, this was the worst service I've ever experienced at a car wash. I paid $26 for package #4. I get back in my car and they haven't even vacuumed the dog hair off of my car seat. I took a picture (and attached it to my review) to show the owner and he said that vacuums don't remove dog hair. WHAT?! For all you 90 million dog owners in the US, the owner of Advanced Auto Spa says that vacuums don't remove dog hair. I didn't even know what to say, never in my life have I heard something so ridiculous. He said his employees work even harder when he's out there watching them so he knows they did the best job they could. He refunded me $16 and charged me $10 for an exterior wash only. They closed as soon as I left (1:15pm, even though it says they're open till 4:30pm on their website - clearly they were rushing to get out of there) I drove straight to the car wash down the street where they had complimentary vacuums and got all the dog hair out in 2 minutes. Posted the during and after pics below. What a miracle - the vacuums removes dog hair! Oh, and the exterior wash there was only $5.99, 40% less. Advanced Auto "Spa" also didn't connect my floor mats and left spotty car shine all over my dash. Never again!! read more

I used to live in NJ and then eventually moved out of the state for work. I tell you, this place is as good as it gets! This place takes all types of cars, I've seen clunkers getting tree sap taken off them, and Maserati's getting the works - car wash, external & internal detailing, you name it. Every car wash I've had since they've taken care of my car has been sub par. The staff is extremely friendly, they pay attention to detail, and they give you ridiculously good rates for the services they give you. Cannot recommend this place highly enough! I'd give six stars if I could. read more

It's that time again. As spring has partially sprung it's time to wash winter off your car. Buckle up and let's get this review started. First let's start by driving in. Big sign with all the details. Prices are plain and simple. As the saying goes. You get what you pay for. So I opted to get the number 4. The best package .. Why not? If your going to review a place at least make it worth it. The first person I see greets with a hi. Tell him what I want hands me a card with my selection. And off I go. Walking down the "tunnel" there's plenty of thing to gaze at including your car. I opted to skip the free show. Meet second person who is also friendly. So far this place isn't bad. Gift cards, loyalty card air fresheners all over the place and Spot rewards too if you have the card. Picked what is suppose to be a beachy smell. And time to pay. Any whoooo car goes in dirty comes out very clean. The team that drys and vacuums and details the car are very professional and very efficient. So in reality I only have one complaint. Use a better tire wet. Hard to tell it was used when the tires are wet from the wash. After 20 minutes. There are a lot of spots where it obviously didn't take the tire wet solution your using. Still a great wash for the price. Will go back read more

I've been going to this car wash for several years and I have no complaints. They are very friendly and accommodating and they don't rush through like some car wash establishments. They do offer discounts on things which is very nice. Keep up the good work thanks again. read more

Thank you for doing an exceptional job with the detailing in a little over two hours. It has never looked better. You saved my life today. If you want a great full detail - this was a great surprise at how exceptional it looked and you will not be disappointed. Thanks again. read more

My review is based on both the Car Wash and Detailing services. I have been bringing my cars here for years to get washed and I'm always happy with the results! Appreciate the fact the they do a thorough job drying the car (even opening doors and trunk to dry the crevasses). I just got my car detailed here for the first time and they did an amazing job, I couldn't be happier! Long story short my car was covered in tree sap and even though I never got my car detailed before I knew I wanted to bring my car here since they always do an excellent job washing my car. I reached out via Facebook to setup a time and the owner was very responsive and accommodating with my schedule. All the tree sap was removed and the finished product was amazing! read more

Great job.... got the express detail. Service is great, and fast. Owner seems to really care about quality. Will definitely return.

Disappointed.. I came on a slow, quiet Wednesday afternoon. Decided to splurge and get their highest #5 package since it had been a while. Long story short, i can under no circumstances recommend anybody getting this package. For starters it is $36 including tax. I didn't see anything special to warrant this as i feel i received a very run of the mill wash and cleaning. That is a very high premium for a single car wash and i expected a little more than the usual. There are 2 main upgrades to this package from the #4 and others below it. With #5 you are getting a spray wax and carpets shampoo'd. However in my car i have rubber floor mats in the front and back. I expected the carpets underneath to be shampoo'd. This was not the case, as all i got was the rubber mats power washed in the beginning. This needs to be addressed or advertised differently. You are also supposed to get the windshield applied with Rain-X as is the case in lower packages. I saw no signs of that having been applied. When i apply it myself at home with the spray and a cloth you can see a haze on your window for 2-3 days afterwards. I'm sure this was applied during the actual wash process with a machine but again i dont see any traces of it on my windshield. The wash itself is okay; good, definitely nothing special. There was a decent amount of dirt and debris still on the front of my car near the grill and headlight area. The interior came out pretty good, they spent a good amount of time on it but my leather seats were not as clean as i would have expected. If i had selected the #2, or 3 package i probably would have a very different opinion because thats about what this was was worth. Dont splurge for the #5, i have received very comparable washes and cleanings at other places for just above half this price. read more

I have been going to get my car wash at this place for 3+ years. Today was the first time I felt like I was not a welcomed customer. It may be a holiday but if you have a business, it should not matter. I was the last customer to get a car wash and there was not 1 employee to get my car after it was washed. It rolled over the speed bump and almost into the street. They are lucky that I was watching my car to jump into it to stop it from rolling on to on coming traffic on rt 34. When I was upset and letting my anger out at them (as I should have the right to), they were mad because I do not have the right to be angry at what happened. I didn't even receive an apology and the owner "Steve P." was not even sympathetic. I was shocked. He asked what did I want.. I said nothing bc he, as an owner, should have valued me as a customer. Not just ask what I want to close for the holiday. I liked this place but after today I will not go back. Funny thing is, he thinks I don't have class, because I was yelling/screaming (because I was very upset at the situation).. if it happened to anyone else, they too would be that upset. It shows class of how an owner won't ever have sympathy of their mistake, especially on yelp. read more

I could not be more pleased with Marco and his staff. Wonderful experience from the moment I booked my detailing appointment to the time I picked up my car. Marco was very efficient, kept me in the loop every step of the way, and most importantly exceeded my expectations! His attention to detail and knowledge is exceptional. If you are looking for any sort of car wash service there is no better place to go! I am lucky to have them close to me! read more

I'm always here. The guy at the front desk was nice enough to give me a free inside vacuum as I incorrectly read the sign for the exterior plus car wash. Thanks advanced auto spa. read more

Incredible experience! From the ease of selecting your wash, speaking with the washers, and paying, you're getting your moneys worth at this place. Everyone is incredibly kind and personable and I like watching my car as it goes through the wash. After you pay, you walk outside while people towel dry your car, but make sure you sit down and dont rush them or they'll rush and miss spots. I always tip them in their little box on the cart also, they always leave the interior spotless. There was one time that the inside of my windows weren't even wiped down by them, but the like on this day was almost to the street so it's not a huge deal. They also give you a card that you can collect points on which is pretty cool. This is the only car wash I'll go to, especially with having bad experiences in the past with other washes (one had my side mirror blown off, one had my car go off the tracks - not a good sight, one the workers were extremely rude). This place is the best read more

Wow- very impressed. The attention to detail was more than I've seen at any other car wash, especially when it comes to cleaning and vacuuming the interior. I'll definitely be back! read more
