I just brought my vehicle to this car wash and ran it through the washer. It was okay but there are still lots of dirty areas on my car. The vacuum was a complete waste of money. I plugged my quarters in and it seemed to come on but there was no real suction. I could've paid a place with actual employees for almost the same money and gotten a much better outcome.

On July 26, 2025, my son took our 2012 Mazda CX-9 through the Whistle car wash on N Franklin St…read more Just after noon, the side brushes in the wash tunnel failed to retract properly, dug into the driver's side rear wheel well, and pulled the bumper loose on the left side. Before entering, a staff member visually inspected the vehicle, found no issues, and waved him through. After the damage occurred, the on-site manager reviewed it and agreed there was no obvious reason the brush should have grabbed the bumper. She filed Incident Report #3391 in their system. Despite this, no one from the local site followed up. I had to contact Whistle's corporate customer care myself to get a response. After asking me to provide photos and basic info, they eventually replied to say the bumper had "pre-existing damage" and they would not accept responsibility. I asked for a copy of the video footage that supposedly showed this "pre-existing damage." They refused to release it without a court order. The damage isn't enough to justify the time and cost of a lawsuit--but it still left me with a car that needs repair and no support from the company. Their refusal to provide video evidence or work toward a resolution shows how they handle claims--by stonewalling. I can't recommend this business, and I won't be returning.

They were upfront and honest about everything. I have a beagle/border collie who sheds like no tomorrow and the guy said it would take longer and cost more to guarantee all the dog hair removal. I told him not to worry about it as it would just come back and I just want all the sand out of my car. He said no problem. The attention to detail is amazing and they got pretty much all the dog hair too. Plus, not a grain of sand in sight! They also left it smelling good. All of this plus a very kind staff and a nice waiting area. I got the inside and outside done (including windows!) done for $60 and I gave a $20 tip. Well worth it! Y'all got to try it. I might cancel my membership to Whistle Express...

If they would have asked me i would have informed them they just needed ro put the key in the door. When I spoke with the manager on duty he said he just went with what the attendants were soing because they couldn't have my alarm going off. I asked if they were licensed mechanics. He said no. I let him know they should not be doing anything but cleaning my vehicle without first getting authorization from the owner. They had another issuse with a customer before me. I'm not sure if they've changed staff or management but they should know not to try and work on someone's car at a car detailing business.

I did not get an answer but left a detailed message (name, phone number, what package I wanted and what date and time I wanted the appointment to be). I tried calling them for 45 minutes prior to their closing to make sure they received my message and to confirm my appointment. Still did not receive an answer. No return phone call that day or the morning of the next day. I had requested my appointment for the next day at 11:15 because I had another appointment and was going to be in the area for a few hours. I had arranged for someone to pick me up since they ask you to plan for 4 hours for the detailing to be completed. Got up there and they could not take me because they had 2 others they were working on. I told them about my message and trying to call them repeatedly to no avail. No apology, nothing. The attendant acted like I was bothering him! No way to conduct a business.
