My kids love a drivethru car wash, and for years, we've come over here to get the basic wash…read more You pull up, throw your car in neutral, and it pulls you forward as your car gets sprayed, soaped, battered by those rubbery things, and then dried. Then a couple of very energetic men wipe down your car with urgency to make sure it's dry, and they've got all the spots. Honestly, it's an excellent service for $12.50. However, this past week I decided to make my wife happy (not my normal MO), and go for a more comprehensive wash including vacuuming and wiping down the interior. I had to do it without the kids, because it involves taking the car seats out, and they don't get to watch from the inside which is the only reason they like it. This was literally only the second time in my life I've had this done. Because when I was a kid, I (1) didn't care about how my car looked and (2) I didn't have any money. (Although, getting it detailed may have helped keep me out of trouble and entirely avoid a confusing conversation with my father about him finding what he called "grass" on the floor of the car. I don't call it grass, and actual grass is entirely acceptable to find on the floor of a car.) And then I didn't have a car, because I lived in NYC, and cars are expensive and a pain in the ass. But then I had kids. And kids need lots of things, like cars to take them places. And kids ruin everything, including your car. All this is a long-winded way of saying, if you want your car to look like you don't have disgusting little monsters sitting in the back, actively throwing and mashing various edible items into and between your seats...this is a good spot. The other time I got the car detailed I went to a fancy, super-exclusive spot that charged me literally hundreds of dollars and my car was PRISTINE when I got it back. Cleaner than it was when we bought it. Here at Ultimate, I paid $50, and it was ALMOST as good. Not perfect, but really a great value. Best of all, it only took 25 minutes (during which I got some excellent tacos at El Tenampa a block away) instead of four hours. Efficiency is the name of the game here. My wife now demands that we do this quarterly.

These workers were friendly, the fellow who appeared to be a manager was kind and offer me cold water while I was waiting. My only recommendation is to be sure you allocate enough time or make an appointment. They take sure care in cleaning your car, you'll see why it takes longer than expected. I am pretty picky and I must say just how much I was pleasantly surprised by Swash!! You've got my business for sure. Thank you!

They did a good job, I had a ton of bird stuff on my car and they got it all off and made the car shine. The one thing I will mention is that it does take a little while since it's a hand wash place, I think it took about 40 minutes (not counting the time before it was my turn) so make sure you are not in a rush.

Wait can be extremely long with lines wrapped around the block or to the side. Cars can be seen…read morewaiting in lines to enter and then folks waiting for service to end to pick up their car. There is a indoor waiting area but if you live in the area, you can go home and come back when they call you ti retrieve your car. They are known for hand-wash/dry but now had upgraded for faster service with special equipment to speed up the process. There is equipment to spray soap from above, as you drive into the the pre-soap area and then exit car to let them finish the rest. Good detailing but sometimes can miss a few spot. Overall great when you have time to wait for the Everything but the Kitchen Sink special. There is a weather guaranteed (I didnt know until I saw on their website) that states if it rains/snow the same/next day, you can bring your car back the following day for a complimentary exterior wash and no reciept is needed. That's cool! When they first opened years ago, I had signed up for a car membership deal for unlimited wash for 1 year in their first year (there was some restrictions about how many washes per month). It was a gift for my husband which he throughly enjoyed and used. I'm not sure if they still do that now as I only signed up once.
