I've been using Coastal Car Wash at Monkey Junction for quite a while now, and they continue to…read moreearn my business. One thing people need to understand is that this is a full-service car wash, not a $300 professional detailing shop. If you're expecting every tiny speck, scratch, and stain to disappear, your expectations probably aren't realistic. For the money, especially the Manager's Special, you get excellent value. It includes the basic service--prep wash, machine wash, underbody rinse, towel dry, wheel cleaning, interior vacuuming, window cleaning, dusting, and door jambs--plus a coat of polish, fragrance, and tire gloss. That's a lot more than you get from a typical drive-through wash where you sit in your car for three minutes and leave with a wet vehicle. I also appreciate that they offer additional services like steam cleaning, leather conditioning, hand waxing, and bug, sand, pet hair, and pollen removal if your vehicle needs extra attention. They make it clear they're willing to accommodate special requests whenever possible. What keeps me coming back is the staff. They're friendly, professional, and they work hard. On a hot, humid North Carolina day, these folks are outside cleaning vehicles one after another, and it shows they genuinely try to do a good job. Is every wash absolutely perfect? No. But compared to several other car washes I've tried around Wilmington, Coastal consistently does a better job and provides better value. One final thought: please tip the crew. They're working in the heat and humidity, moving quickly from vehicle to vehicle, and a few extra dollars is a small way to recognize the effort they put into taking care of your car. Highly recommended. I'll be back.

I went in today for a basic interior and exterior clean, paid $23 plus a $5 tip. The exterior was…read morefine, but the interior was terrible. There were still visible dirt, dust, and spots that were clearly missed, and it looked like the inside was barely touched. I expected a basic interior clean to at least look noticeably better, and that wasn't the case at all. For the price and a tip, this was really disappointing.

Extra bonus are the sweetest two shop dogs you'll ever meet.

Long story short. I got into an accident that was an estimated cost of $1600.00 and some change…read morefrom my insurance company. However, looking at my car I didn't feel that my bumper needed to be replaced like they were suggesting. I went to 3 other body shops around Wilmington who were telling me that they were just going to go off of what my insurance company suggested and another one quoting me over $2,000.00. All of the other body shops were telling me that it would be a 3-4 day repair. I was quoted $900 with Neil & was told he would be able to get it done within a day. And not only did he get it done within a day, but because it was just my fender being replaced (he also found the piece I needed, I just needed to buy it and pick it up because they didn't mail their parts) it costed me under 300.00 to fix. I dropped my car off at 10:00 AM & it was ready by 1:00 PM. I'll definitely come back to him if I get into another collision. Also, when he initially quoted me the $900, he fixed a noise my door was making from the fender being pushed in and the metal popping-- no charge for that.

I came here because I was about to make a trip, & felt a vibration in my car. I had gotten all tire…read morepressure sensors replaced, & tires aligned 5 months earlier. I was told it might be the alignment, or the tire balancing; I had them do both. I was told my brakes were "worn" (whose aren't?!), but didn't have that done. I was also told the age of my tires might be leading to dry rot. (5 years) When I got out on the highway, the vibration was WORSE! I had to drive at a slower speed to a Subaru dealer in VA. They told me I had a bubble in one tire, & they were "feathering". I had them check the brakes, & they MEASURED the brakes pads at 3 mm, which indicated they needed replacing. Tires were on sale. So I replaced! My Master mechanic son-in-law, When he had taken a look at my tires & heard my story, said: "You need to find a new place to take your car." Wasted $175!
