    I have gone to autobell for several years now. I always thought for the price I was paying the service was adequate. However, last week January 31, 2025 a regular wash and cleaning the outside is now $45. I thought that was absurd, but since I had so much salt on my car from the weather, I did not really have a choice. I had to pull my front seat up to look for something I dropped only to find underneath my driving seat was filthy. How disappointing to pay $45 for something like this and have such poor results. I will not return to Autobell.

    Car damage

    I am a frequent customer at Autobell Sterling VA location. Damaged was caused to my car in their machine and once they inspected it the declined my claim stating that I had previous damage. The kid they have working as a manager seemed to not know what he was talking abt and when I asked for the number of a higher up he told me " it was pointless for him to give it to me because they will only bring it back to him." I rushed over to my car dealership to get copies of estimates from the previous damage as proof that my previous damages had nothing to do with what occurred in their wash machine. My dealership was able to get me the headquarters phone number and they also stated that a car wash can cause this type of damage. The manager kid at autobell called me and told me his district manager would be willing to meet up with me to take a look at the damage. That was no help at all. I showed him proof and he stated that due to my previous damages it may have compromised the area in which their machine damaged my car, that he doesn't doubt that his machine caused the damage and flat out told me that "HE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGES." I am highly disappointed in this company, I really liked them before but after what I had to experience this time around I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GIVE THEM BUSINESS. If damaged is caused to your car by their equipment they will use any marking on your car already there to defend why they won't pay for what occurred on their property. Highly unprofessional and left a very bad image of what quality care is. Please find a different car wash if you don't want to come out of pocket for damage done in their property.

    The side of the back seat doesn't appear to have been touched

    Oh my word you guys have not changed. The last time I've been here was a shocking experience and after a couple of years I thought I'd try again and it's just as shoddy as I remembered. The pictures will speak for themselves. I paid extra for the mats to be taken out and cleaned and only half of it was done as it seems and the back looks like it's been entirely forgotten. I don't micromanage so don't feel like having to go around and inspect peoples work, especially when in a hurry but alas with you guys it's apparently necessary. Won't be coming back. It's ridiculous..

    This carwash has been here for a while, the ownership has changed multiple times over the past six years or so, and thus this review is for the most recent tenants of the space. The new owners have done a really great job of gutting out the old and dated facility and upgrading the car wash apparatus, interior waiting area and even installed huge TV's so you can see your car while it's been entered into the car wash bay. The staff is young, but management seems to have a good apprenticeship going on and they're teaching these guys well on how to wipe down a car after it's gone thru the wash itself. There was a minor issue with one of the employees getting my car in the tracks, but he apologized and there seems to be no damage at all. The last thing I'd add to be wary of is for individuals with large wheels or lowered vehicles; they still use the tracks and if you have a lowered car or wide wheel/tire set up then you probably want to avoid this particular wash until they upgrade to the modern conveyor system.

    Trash

    I asked my dad to take my truck to Autobell. As you can see in the pictures, they didn't clean inside the truck at all. I went back soon after my dad returned from Autobell to show them the magnificent work they did and ask, what was the reason they tricked my dad. There are business that think elders are blind and deaf. When I asked for a refund, supervisor said, we don't refund at all (they offer you an opportunity to make things right......). Interesting philosophy. I wonder how far my business will last, if I were ever got to take advantage of an elderly person, my business will get destroy in a matter of days....... What else can I say.

    24 bucks for mediocre service disguised as full service. Cleaning was just bad, they don't take out the trash under door pockets or wipe liquid stains off leather seats. One guy working on your car, yes it was 15 mins before close but that's no excuse for poor service when you've already paid for what should've been sparkling clean inside and out. Slow and sloppy, overpriced and just terrible. Save your money. Avoid at all costs. Compared to flagship car wash it's literally night and day. First and last time for me.

    My membership is now canceled. I heard a huge sound when they pulled my car onto the tracks. When I got home I found that my new car is damaged, paint removed down to the metal! Avoid this place like the coronavirus. See photo of damage. The photo makes it look nit as bad as it is. If course, they are 'not responsible'.

    First and last time I will be taking my car here, I had a full clean outside and inside. I thought everything went normal. Once I got to inspect my car I realized there was this huge scratch on my car from when the employee recklessly drove my car with no help into the car wash machine. I've tired several times to contact the store and no answer.

    Don't trick by the reviews. This place is not worth money.

    I was a previous member of Flagship car wash, moved from Vienna to Sterling and I found this place on Yelp. I trusted the reviews and I paid for this place. And i will tell you, DO NOT COME HERE TO WASH YOUR CAR. The same amount as Flagship car wash, but! No towel to use, no vacuum to use, even the automatic car wash only gives one spray, no wax, no spot free rinse. Your car get scratched and the bird shit is still on the car after wash. Also, when I dry my car with my own towel, my new towel turns black. I need my money back.

    The boys (Jeremy and Nixon) and my Z of course

    See all

    Spent a lot of money on a poor car wash: slow to finish and the poorest service I've ever seen. I will never return!

    Husband does unlimited monthly washes. I go as needed. We're both VERY pleased with washes and always tip the workers. Definitely recommend!

    Seeing these negative reviews did not put me at ease about coming here, but overall it was not a…read morebad job. I had just got out of a gas station one (future note, avoid these unless they are in a Sheetz) and it was so aggressive it nearly ripped off my front license plate. It also left some marks on my car that I am fairly certain are permanent, but not worth getting into a twist over. So I brought it over here in hopes they would be more gentle and do a better job. Overall, they did. The price is a bit high, but car washes are expensive today because of all the energy that goes into one. But it did do a good job in removing some of the stains the other one left behind and it was much more gentle than the one I previously used. I would bring my car back here for another round.

    I've yet to find a car wash in Loudoun county that I can tolerate. Upon arrival, I was a little…read moreconfused with where to go and what to do. The set up of the car wash looks like they have both full service and self service vacuuming. I asked the attendant and he said "no, we do everything for you." Sigh. Unfortunately, my expectations weren't high based on my other experiences in the area, but I decided to try it anyways because it was a fairly warm day and very few customers. There was one car there but no one waiting, so I assumed this was a custom job or the car belonged to an employee. I paid for the works and the end result was simply meh!!! The exterior wasn't wiped down good, and the interior wasn't vacuumed or wiped down good either. After purchasing a fairly expensive car wash package, I pulled over and used my own towels to complete the exterior job properly and add tire shine. Is it that hard to find a good car wash in Loudoun county or better yet a nice auto wash with self service vacuuming/interior???? Then my expectations wouldn't be as hiBefore moving here, I washed my car every Friday.
