I went to the car wash because my truck was dirty!! After I came out there were still a leaf on the sunroof and stuff all over the hood. It is not sap but probably pollen from the trees that sat and got dirtier while I was on vacation for a week. I asked the guys that were drying it off to see if they can get that off.. They said we don't scrub. I.e. we don't get your vehicle clean. Moral of the story "if your car is dirty, don't go to the car wash" :-) Or at least this one I will try Tiger wash next. Cost $21 before tip read more

Clean Machine Touchless Carwash - Car Wash Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Pairs for the wheel deal which included tire shine and rim clean and they only did one side. They noticed there was a car behind mine and it felt like they wanted to hurry so they let me go. I got out to check later and they missed the whole other side. This isn't the first time they've done this either. I give everyone a chance but twice? Lack of quality service... read more

My husband had a membership here a few years ago and his truck would blind you because it would glisten and gleam like brightly mined diamonds. That was then, this is now. I have a membership now because I have a new car but no new desire to wash it at home. I don't expect the automatic car wash to get every crack and crevice but I do expect the team if folks who are drying my car to NOT ignore the bird crap and bug guts that survive the wash tunnel. Unfortunately, if I don't walk around the car to point out the bird poo on the windshield, the dirt remnants on the fender, or the bug carcasses on the rear view mirror, they would (and have) wiped over the area and waved me on off the premises. Please, note that none of the areas mentioned are remote areas of my vehicle. So, why not 2 stars (or even one star) you ask? The price isn't bad, I still don't want to wash my car, and when I ask them to attend to spots they've seemingly ignored, they've always obliged very kindly. In a nutshell: I'm still a member but looking for other car washes with affordable memberships that don't require me to supervise as well. read more

Tried them yesterday & prices are certainly good, nothing crazy at all. Did their 18 dollar wheel deluxe which guarantees numerous things such as washing beneath the car and included a towel dry service. Low rating because the employees are not responsive and they failed to even wipe my car off well, spent about 1 minute going around the car with the towels and when I asked if they could go back around once more (I know my car takes a couple mins to actually get dry as most cars) they just stared at me and gave me a thumbs up. It was somewhat busy so I just said whatever & drove off checked the car and yep. Still numerous wet spots all over my car and the windshield was wiped terribly CLOUDY. read more

Clean Machine guys were helpful and friendly, and the job they did was pretty darn good. I will say that the interior waiting area smelled like pee and was pretty gross in general, so that was a bit disappointing. They'd be well served to make it a more hangout-friendly place with TVs and couches, etc. The inside of my windshield was really cloudy and not cleaned well. Other than that, though, the car never looked better. I plan on going back again. read more

I decided to leave DC yesterday and drive my new Porsche all over VA, winding up in Charlottesville. My car was filthy in the morning. I found this Carwash out of the way, but it featured a Touchless tunnel and hand dry service. I'm so happy with the end result. They took extra care to get every detail, especially the wheels. read more

Clean Machine Touchless Carwash - Car Wash Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Used to be a reasonably priced fairly fast car wash. Has deteriorated over the last 12 months. For the price, still found dirt on the rear tailgate and fair amount of water spots. Still use but now only lowest cost, basic wash read more

Mike, Nine months in a row this has happened....9 months, I've finally waited to see what would happen this time and again as always they never clean the car. I'm sorry but if I pay for a interior and exterior wash, you should be able to clean the car (see pictures attached) without question. I was told in order for those areas to be cleaned I would need to pay for the "detailed service". Are you kidding me? Detail service for a cup holder to be cleaned. You run a shotty business sir and should re-evaluate the people or how you want them conducting business. Thanks for the reply - so in order for those parts of car to be cleaned (as seen by pictures), I need to get a "detailed wash"? Is that what you are saying? Because I've spent 225 dollars YTD at your wash and it comes out looking the same way every time! It's funny, you didn't even offer remorse, apologies or services for the horrid job done. What kind of business owner are you?? read more

I really want to like this place. Two times now I've gone in here and as everyone is incredibly nice, the service is going downhill severely. I got the biggest wash package last time, and this time I got the basic inside and out car wash, and I don't see a difference. Not to mention all that was missed (both times). The dash was wiped on both sides and the middle not even touched. The widow still has the suction cup marks. Losing faith quickly... read more

Came here for an interior detail of my SUV that had not been cleaned at all in three years, a period during which, in addition to the usual accumulations of dead leaves and mud and spilled drinks, we had a kid and transported an angry cat who demonstrated his displeasure by urinating on the backseat. We had also failed to close the windows on several summer evenings during which we were visited by thunderstorms. So the car was in great shape and smelled very nice, as you might imagine. I made an appointment for the First Class Interior Detail, dropped the car off, and returned two hours later (plan to leave, the waiting area is not worth spending 2 hrs in) to a car that looked like it had just come from the dealer. It was basically sparkling and the funk was totally gone. The only downside was that the seats required an extra 24 hrs to dry completely, so you may not want to plan on transporting the entire family in it immediately after it's cleaned. Otherwise, I was extremely happy with the service and price. read more

When you spend 20 minutes cleaning you car AFTER you pay $34 to get it washed, you know you were ripped off. Seriously. Today they said they were "too busy" to wipe down the interior to any acceptable level. Too busy? After I pay you?!?! So in addition to going over the interior back at home, I even had to wipe down areas (e.g. the mirror covers) that even cursory attention would have addressed. My GF has gone a number of times over the years and never really felt satisfied. When she visits me we'll get her car done for $25 (including tip) for a bang-up job, indoor and out. These guys are just lame. read more

They were super friendly as a first-time visitor, and the price for the basic wash is great.

Exterior top notch, interior not so much. Paid for the middle full service package which included vacuum, windows & dash. Streaks on windows and spots on the back window not even touched. Similar with the dash in a C+ effort for both. Hard pressed to pay for anything but the exterior. Update 6/28/2020, don't waste your money. Paid for the full service, and still had fingerprints on the windows and dash. Crumbs still in the seats and on the floor mats. Paid extra for the back of my Tahoe to be vacuumed, and it doesn't looked like it was touched. Additionally paid a $3 sanitation charge which I am totally fine to pay- if they actually do some sort of sanitation. Watched the employees literally walk up (one with & one without a mask) just go to start wiping down the dash with the rags in hand. I will be taking my four vehicles elsewhere to be cleaned regularly. read more

BEWARE!!! They will damage your car and take no responsibility. My husband and I brought his car here for a professional wash. They did a great job on the wash, car is nice and clean inside and out. We got to our next stop a couple of miles down the road, he gets out and notices a big chunk taken out of the rear drivers side tire and rim. We took it back immediately and they explained it was no way it happened there. My husband is crazy about this car and notices every little ding, damage, and dent. Exploring reviews where other people have had the same issue on the same tire only solidifies our knowledge that it did indeed happen there. They took some pictures and said the manager would be in touch. Given their responsive to others (absolutely none) I don't have much faith that they will rectify this. read more

I'm too busy to deal with a 'kinda clean' car, I want a noticeably clean' car, otherwise why bother? I admit, I'm picky about my car! It's a big investment! But it's there to use and I do....I have a dog who licks, drools or whatever they do to gunk up the windows....I drag in dirt from the garden, hay from the barn....I'll eat in it especially on long drives....not to mention the outside mess from driving on a dirt road. I know...cleaning it is a big job! Clean Machine is where I have my car washed and cleaned, no where else. They consistently do a great job on the inside and outside. I'm there on a regular basis, so that's saying a lot! Afterwards I get in my car and I can f-e-e-l the clean. No kidding. Clean Machine is that good. One secret I've learned is about the line. It doesn't matter if it's short or long. Somehow they staff the car wash so well that there's never a ridiculous wait. That works for me because I stay so busy. read more

These hard working guys make me fall in love with my car all over again, such great staff! I always come here after the beach to get a spotless car from all the fun over the weekend. I have a Great Dane and cleaning his hair, sand and dirt is no easy task. 5 stars would definitely recommend read more

Clean Machine Touchless Carwash - Great service! Every time I come here these hard working guys are always on their game! - Car Wash Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Haven't gotten my car back yet, but it is worthwhile to mention the high level of professionalism I experienced on November 9, 2020. They squeezed me in between appointments and made sure that I know that they honor their work in corrections if the stem clean is not to my expectations. Excellent outfit of organized gentlemen. I will return read more

Paid for a full wash and detail, they barely vacuumed the inside and wiped down nothing. I had to do all the detailing myself when I got home. What a waste of money, definitely will not be back. read more

Very expensive. Not worth the amount paid. Host's asking for tip is un iprofessional and extremely uncomfortable read more

They always do a great job inside and out of the car. The annual pass is extremely helpful for my suburban.

I brought in my fiance's -- let's be honest -- nastyyyy outback in for an interior cleaning. It was covered in dog hair, food, unknown gunky stuff, and since he's a cyclist who rides home after super sweaty workouts... you get the point. It needed a cleaning as I was frankly uncomfortable riding in it. I bought the interior package where they steam clean the seats and after 1.5 hours it came out looking like a new car. 99% of the dog hair was gone, the inside of the car simply *sparkled*... and it smelled like fresh air. I was honestly delighted -- this car was dirrrrty and now looked basically dealership-level good. That said, similar to the reviewer before, I noticed they forgot to clean the interior console so I did that on my own when I got home, but the job was so well done on the whole rest of the car it didn't matter. The management and guys working there also just seemed like good people. I noticed one of them help a handicapped customer across the parking lot into his car, and everyone else was extremely polite. I'll definitely come back! read more

Welcome to the clown show! I paid $22 to have a bunch of bored teenagers miss my mirrors and most of the back window. But they were nice enough to give me a chamois cloth so I could finish the job when I got home--screech! I know I bought my car in just before quitting time but do not plan to ever take me car in again as the staff appear to be poorly trained and supervised. Don't let the attractive exterior appearance fool you--poor management read more

Had really liked this place but the last two times I've been they've done a lazy job. Last time I paid to have my cargo area cleaned as some popcorn had spilled. Got home and there was still popcorn on the floor. These are picture of the interior today AFTER they cleaned the interior. I will not be returning. read more

I have an unlimited exterior wheel deal membership, which more than pays for itself after only 2 washes. They recently lowered the price for my monthly membership by $10, which shows they care about customer service and being competitive during the pandemic. Also, the contactless/automated changes due to COVID are easy, efficient, and greatly appreciated. read more

The best detailer in town in my experience - and I wasn't expecting that. For starters, they have excellent hours. There isn't a single other shop open on Sundays. For that alone they would have a jump start on getting my business in the interest of convenience. My concern was that good availability, and a central "brand name" look, would give me mediocre results. That hasn't happened! They do a fabulous job. I've had melted wax in the cup holders (ever eat those delicious Baybel cheeses?) dog hair coating the back seat, and even suspicious oily stains marking the front seat. I don't know if they put the seats through a washer or what, but they come out without a mark. They have been responsive to my requests not to use "sticky stuff" to shine the dash, which I appreciate - it's not my jam. The third thing they're great at: turnaround time. I've brought a car in about 55 minutes until closing time, and nobody ever acts annoyed that it's so close to closing. They seem eager to help and can turn it around quickly. Disclaimer: Your mileage may vary. Use common sense and call in ahead of time to see if they have a line. Clean Machine is great, try them out! read more

When detailing my Lexus GS 350, interior as well as exterior, they tore/burned a small hole in the passenger seat's leather. I was upset but indicated that I would be satisfied for them to have someone fix/mend the tear without redoing the whole seat. But once the manager talked to the owner, he was told to deny everything. That upset me as much as the repair for which I will have to pay. This is not an owner with whom I want to do business. DO YOU? read more

Clean Machine is taking no responsibility for the damages to my car's bumper! Very poor service and it's not right that I have to pay for damages I didn't do!!! -5 stars!!! read more

I returned per the owner's offer and staff did a wonderful job cleaning the exterior and interior of my vehicle. Thank you.

They cleaned the outside well but- For 20.00 I was told at the end that they wash the outside and vacuum but Do Not go over the seats or console or dashboard area. - are you kidding me???? I got the rag myself and in 5 seconds the pollen was off the dash board and my leather seats-waste of time and money!!! I'll go across the street and do a quick drive through and do my own vacuuming for 50cents and use my own spray bottle and rag- --thanks for nothing. read more

I Love How they Make my Tires have alot of consistent shine on them, Will Come Again!

Not too pleased. They missed obvious dirt spots on body of car and totally missed the mirrors. Won't be going back there ever!

I might as well have just taken my car to a drive through car wash. I paid for the "full service" for 26$ the exterior was washed through the machine but hand dried and spots were missed. The interior was barely cleaned! Dust was still everywhere and it wasn't vacuumed thoroughly. There were barely any cars for service, with a lot of employees and they still didn't put in that much work. My dashboard was still dirty. My seats still had leaves. I was pretty disappointed. The service was quick but definitely not done. read more

Went on Sunday July 8, and paid for a full car wash. Not impressed. My front and back windows, and side mirrors are streaked. Noticed the top of my vehicle was still dirty. My vehicle has the weather tech on the floors. They did not wash them only vacuumed. My husband said it would be better to pay the $29.99 monthly. Yes it would be cheaper. However, I will not be going back. read more

only two starts because the outside (the part the is done by a machine) looks great. seriously you are better off doing the work yourself! i cannot believe i paid $130 + tip for this. btw they ask for a tip before the work is done, clearly so you won't see what a terrible job they do. do yourself a favor and stay far away. read more

$22 + tip for absolutely nothing! My car is just as filthy as it was beforehand. I guess it's my fault for not reading these awful reviews beforehand, but the facility looked decent enough from the street. I'd honestly be better off spraying my car with a hose and letting it dry in the sun. read more

Waited 40 minutes while several other cars got cleaned. Mine never moved. Employee cleaning the car ahead of mine couldn't have cared less. Manager didn't have a clue as to how slow his guys were working. A $9 coupon doesn't make up for the delay and frustration. I should have read the reviews on here before I went in. I see others have encountered the same issue. read more

This place has always done a good job cleaning my car, however their prices have gone up so much in the past year that I I don't think I'll be returning. I recommend doing some price comparison's in the area. Vacuuming the interior and wiping the dash is now $15 after Covid, I was told because they need to use sanitizer. Maybe that's true, it's just too much for me to pay at this time personally. But like I said, the cleaning has always been good. read more

Their exterior wash is pretty good - no complaints there. But I'm not a huge fan of their interior cleaning. I did the "Full Service Wheel Deal" which included some interior services that weren't done very well. First off, all of the mats that were taken out of my car weren't put back properly (they weren't attached to the placement hooks in the car, so they were kind of sliding around) and my center console, dash and vents were still super dusty (it didn't look like they were touched), even though one of the services was dusting those two areas. The one thing I do still love about them is the hand drying that they do after the wash. I mean, this isn't super uncommon (White Horse on 29 does it too), but it's something over the run-of-the-mill car wash at a gas station that makes a difference. All in all, I can't say that I'd be back for any interior services, but the exterior services are pretty good. read more

I have come to this car wash several times in the past. The last two times I've been I have not been happy. It looked like it was going to rain today and I asked for interior cleaning and I paid 24$ and the 4runner was hardly clean on the inside. The cup holders were not clean as well as the floor mats. I don't mind paying for a good detail but it scares me to even consider it... read more

I've been here twice now with two different cars and the results of been about the same each time. The results of the $30 car wash are about what you would expect from a $12 car wash. Yes, your car will be a little more shiny and, yes, your carpets will be quickly vacuums, but you won't feel as though you gotten your money's worth. The staff will ignore crumbs and dirt in cupholders and crevices, and they just want to move you in and out as quickly as possible. Basically, it comes down to the sad reality that they have little pride in their work. I will not be returning. read more
