This was, without question, one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I have encountered at a car wash in Central New Jersey. I paid for what was supposed to be a premium service for my wife's Mercedes-Benz, expecting professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to customer care. Unfortunately, what I witnessed was the exact opposite. While several employees were struggling to clean vehicles, the owner appeared more interested in sitting indoors drinking beer during business hours than supervising operations or ensuring customers received the quality of service they were paying for. The lack of leadership, accountability, and professionalism was impossible to ignore. As someone who values good service and is willing to become a loyal, repeat customer, I was extremely disappointed. Rather than earning my future business, this experience guaranteed that I will never return. Consumers work hard for their money and deserve businesses that take pride in their work and respect their customers. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this establishment and would strongly encourage others to consider alternative car wash options in the Englishtown area. Very disappointing.!

Very disappointed with my experience at Clean Ride Car Wash. They advertise a full service for $27, but when I got there with my Jeep Renegade, they said it would actually be $45--claiming the lower price only applies to small cars, even though that's never mentioned in the ad. I didn't go for the full service because the price felt ridiculous and shady. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they enter the sale at the $27 price and pocket the difference. I went with just an exterior wash, and even that was a waste--my car came out still dirty, with blue streaks left on the hood. I won't be coming back and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

If you want to pay more than advertised for your car to NOT get cleaned, this is the spot for you. I wanted to start this off by saying I am 40 weeks pregnant and have a scheduled c-section for tomorrow to deliver my baby. I came here today to make sure my car is cleaned while I am recovering. I came here due to a picture I saw online of one of their signs saying that a full service car wash is $27 which is said to include an exterior and interior clean. When I got here, one of the workers told me it would be $40. I asked why and he said because of the size of my car. I have a VW Tiguan. The sign did not say anything about certain cars being more which if it did, I would not have had a problem. I told him I am not paying that since their sign does not have different pricing for different size vehicles. He then said he will do it for $35, I said I will do it for $32 and that is all. He said he will speak with the owner to see what to charge. The owner came out to take a look at my car and agreed that $30 would be sufficient. I agreed and proceeded to get my car cleaned. Typically when you go to a car wash, the least they do is wipe down the seats and inside the car doors. They rushed the job and when I checked, the entire inside looked untouched. I asked one of the workers to please clean the seats and at least the doors, even though they didn't vacuum either, I didn't bring that up because at that point I was ready to go. He said that would be a detailing job. I have gotten my car washed before, and they always clean the doors and seats. I paid for the highest package so that was the least i expected. The owner came back out to check my car. I asked him if they clean the seats and doors as part of the package and he said yes. I showed him the dirty spots that were not cleaned and asked if they could clean it. At that point, he said "You got what I paid for, get the fuck out of here you fat bitch." Then ran inside. Almost too stunned to speak, i waited by my car and when he came back out, of course i had a few words for him too and asked for a refund. Again, he told me to get the fuck out of here. I called the police because first of all, you're not going to disrespect me, pregnant or not, I am a paying customer and you failed to do your job correctly. When the cops came, his entire demeanor changed (of course) the cops told him to just clean the car and I will leave. He lied to them and said that he did clean it after I asked. So if you want to be disrespected, this is the spot for you! If I could give this place 0 stars i would. There was no wonder this place was empty, and to the owner reading this, I hope your karma comes back around and this place finally shuts down. Old piece of trash, smh. read more

The business has incorrect hours published to Apple Maps and Google Maps. I left to get my car wash because the apps said he's open. I got there around 3:20 pm on a hot Sunday afternoon to find out it's actually closed! read more

Worst customer service in the entire area. Owner is a rude and obnoxious individual. I would not recommend this place to anyone at all. It's unfortunate for the employees that work that they have to be subjected to the owners disgusting personality. Price is always inconsistent and the owner Is always a complete loser. read more

The best service. They take their time & clean everything. I love this place. Will keep going to them with all my cars.

Caught yelping red handed! Was taking a snapshot of the menu and the employee asked what I was up to....explained I was yelping.... Geez could have at least given me an upgraded wash Seriously though I went for the $4 basic car wash, I couldnt take the salt anymore. They did a good job, rims got cleaned pretty well, the body wasnt perfect. For $4 it was a great deal. If I spent $20 I would be upset. 2 gentlemen dried the car after I exited the wash. There is a slew of upgrades in service, wax,tire shine, interior etc. I will definitely go back. read more

Pulled in because the sign at the road stated Full Service available. The next sign stated $27 for full service. After getting to the entrance, and unable to pull off the line, I'm told a Full Service is $40. When I informed him the sign stated $27 I was told that is the price for a car, not a SUV. It should state the difference on the sign. read more

We've been here twice within the past two months. Always had great service, good cleaning, and rarely have to wait. The car wash is incredibly affordable. I originally came here because this is the type of car wash you can sit in while you go through (my kids love it) and I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

I don't know why their reviews aren't good. Got a full service wash this weekend and my car was cleaned with such detail I'm in love! Will definitely come back for more car washes. They even put a scent of your choice in and my car still smells amazing almost a week later. read more

I have been a customer at Clean Ride Car Wash for years, as the prices were reasonable and staff accommodating...until today. I went in for a full car wash expecting to pay $24, and the owner, Barry, said that it was $36 because it's an SUV (Toyota RAV4). I conveyed that I've been coming here for years and the gentleman charges me $24. Barry said that must have been 2 years ago, as he has been there 7 days a week for the past 6 months, and it's $35. I said, OK for $35 please make sure they do a good job. He says I'll tell you what, we always do a good job and if you're not happy don't come back! After the job was complete, I asked to speak to the manager bc there was still debris on the car. Barry comes out looking irritated and says this is sap and sap doesn't come off! I said I came here for a car wash expecting a clean car, I want it off. He says that's sap and it doesn't come off! You know, the minute you came in here, you had an attitude, and if you don't like the service here, get the fuck out of here! I said don't talk to me that way I'm the customer, who's the owner? He yells I AM! You have a problem, call the POLICE! You piece of shit, get the fuck out of here! In front of other customers and my 15 year old daughter. To not stoop to his level, I held my composure and told him he was disgusting. In all my life, I have never been so ridiculed and especially in front of my child. An Old Bridge Police officer was kind enough to come to my home and take down my info, and agreed that poor customer service is not a crime and to be spoken to in that manner is unacceptable...and they definitely did not do a good job cleaning the car (bird poop and sap left behind) Money is not the issue here, but I'll be scarred from this experience knowing that businesses and people like that still exist. read more

Clean Ride Car Wash - Outcome from Clean Ride Car Wash + Nasty Owner - Car Wash Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

I'm wondering if the bad reviews were for the former business, Liberty Car Wash as shown in some of the photos because our experience was vastly different. My husband was thrilled and very impressed with Clean Ride Car Wash and he is extremely picky when it comes to his "baby," especially this car which is only two-months old. He raved about the attentive, courteous service and loved that the cleaning was performed thoroughly and not rushed. The car looked so fabulous, he tipped extra! Clean Ride has earned a customer for life. read more

Came here for a car wash at 430. Ask the guy if they'll do the interior, tells me no because they're closing at 630. It's currently 430. So because they close in 2 hours they can't clean my interior. If the owner reads this, please hire employees who aren't lazy. Never coming back here again. read more

Will NOT be going back here EVER. Asked for $5 in quarters and as I'm counting them just to be sure, the woman comes back to me and hands me 3 quarters. Would she have done so if I wasn't counting? Okay, maybe it was an honest mistake. So I go to get a wash, the guy is breaking my chops! "This way! Watch me he's yelling. Very rude, angry even! What a jerk, I'd be more explicit but don't want to get kicked off Yelp. Final straw is the wash was NOT GOOD, not worth the $12 that's for sure. I will be telling family and friends. I'm guessing he's the mgr or owner. Total A hole. I'd give zero stars if I could! read more

It says they are open until 6pm. I drive up at 4:35 for a wash and vacuum and he tells me no because they close in 15 minutes???

Great car wash! Come here all the time! The employees are so nice and work really hard to make the car look good! read more

Clean Ride Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

Seemed like a good deal when I arrived, became a little skeptical when the owner was a bit nasty when you want to buy upgrades. After getting the car wash I noticed at the car look just as dirty as before. When I voice my concern I was told for the car to be clean there's an extra cost and that basically I was just paying for my car to be rinsed. I'm sure if it would rain my car would've been cleaner, owner was deafly rude and nasty Needs to work on people skills. Car wash itself is also extremely rough on your vehicle. Stay away read more

Best car wash in central NJ. They are extremely detailed especially when cleaning internally and if you get the Gold package on the outside; they wax the car so well it even hides minor scratches. Phenomenal. read more

I don't like the job most car washes or the people that work at them do. I Googled car washes near me and read the reviews for Clean Ride Car Wash. I had the full service option and am pleasantly surprised at how awesome my car looks. The girls did a fantastic job. There wasn't even a trickle of water dripping on my car anywhere. I'm sooo happy and will definitely be coming back. I will also spread the word. Thank you! read more

Horrible car wash. They only prewashed back of vehicle. The dirt on both sides of car was still there after washing. I had to physically clean the sides of my car. The sign states the Bronze wash is $8 and they charged me $9. I will never go back. read more

It is what it is for a car wash that charges you $4 for an exterior wash. Some people mention them closing at 6, but they currently close at 5 daily. A a good decent quick wash that does the job effectively, whereby others charge double for. read more

I don't live in Old Bridge anymore but I do visit when I am around. You really can't beat the $4 wash. I never get anything additional because i don't think it's really necessary. The $4 wash cleaned the wheels off good. Once I paid for the tire wash (?) and it was kind of the same thing as what the $4 job would have done. read more

This place definitely changed owners. It is by far one of the WORST car washes in town. Yesterday my car was washed and they left soap all over the car and did a really bad job in drying out. When my husband got it if the car to dry it he realized how terribly it had been washed and complained to the "manager" and he literally told him to "get the f-ck out of here and don't come back Anymore if he was so dissatisfied". Will definitely NEVER go there again! I suggest you do the same. Terrible service and terrible car wash. . read more

This place didnt dry my car properly after paying 15 dollars for an external wash and when I spoke with the owner he was nasty and told me to never come back. I WONT. Over priced and they dont appreciate customers. read more

Came in with quite a dirty SUV inside and out. Bought the full package and I was glad I did. After a thorough machine wash, more than 3 people worked on the car. They paid great attention to the doors, dash, seats, windows. They removed the carpets and washed them out too. They did a good job, very happy. Car looks like it got detailed! I drove up from Monroe based on other reviews. Glad I did. Will definitely go back again. read more

During the winter this is the best place to get exterior car wash only $4. I go once a week to get the snow and salt off my car.

This car wash was phenomenal! I had the works done on my car after this longer snowy winter and my car looks brand new again. They cleaned every nook and cranny inside and out! I am very pleased. read more

My car never looked so good! Went to this place with a groupon for detailing. I had thoughts of trading in my car for a newer version, but forget it now...it looks and feels like new again! The staff is fast, friendly and efficient. Go there! read more
