Joe's Car Wash is one of those rare spots that feels like it's been holding it down forever. Tucked…read moreaway in Montrose, it's one of the only places I know in Houston where you can still wash your own car--no automation, no one else hand washing it for you, just you and the suds. In a city that's obsessed with hand car washes and now the shiny new automatic setups like MisterMister, Joe's is refreshingly old school. It's simple, it works, and there's something satisfying about doing it yourself. The vacuum stations even offer a foaming option, which gives your interior a solid deep clean--way more satisfying than the usual dusty hose setup. If you're particular about your car or just enjoy taking your time with a wash, this place is perfect. Plus, there's a kind of nostalgic charm to it that's hard to find these days. Long live Joe's.

Joe's Car Wash is my spot to fill up my tires with air. It might sound kind of strange to have a…read more"favorite" air spot but Joe's is definitely it. It's free, it's reliable, and it's convenient. There's nothing like having the extra anxiety of a tire light come on and Joe's is there to lower that anxiety and raise that tire pressure. There's two air hoses on either side of the building that are long enough to reach every one of your tires in one go. The car wash area is also clean and well lit and often times the owner or manager will stop by to ask if you need any help. I think we've all had to use a sketchy air pump in the corner of a seedy gas station with a card reader that may or may not steal all of your money so it's comforting to know that Joe's is the exact opposite. I've been coming here for years and will continue to for years to come.

I have been a customer here for years. Lately the wash experience has been slipping- mostly the car…read moreis not even mostly dry after coming through the wash. But, they are in my neighborhood and the price is reasonable and they always have strong vacuums. Tonight, however, when I came out of the car wash I noticed multiple scratches on my windshield that had definitely NOT been there before. The scratches were equidistant apart. When I brought it to the employees attention he said the brushes are so soft he can put his arm under them and he won't get hurt. He said they have never gotten any complaints and my scratches must have come from someplace else. I understand that they have to say that and they don't want to be liable for damage. However they KNOW me and know I am not a trouble maker and know I don't just come looking for a payday. I am going to have to pay someone to buff out the scratches and they have lost a very long term and loyal customer.

On the plus side, I appreciated that they provide towels and window cleaning solution so you can wipe down your windows and wheels yourself.

Initially I had gone to Mango Car Wash. But I found the place pricey. The attendant told me to go…read moreto Drip and ask for Jr. because their prices are more reasonable. I went to Drip today. No one approached me as I drove in. Once I got out, Jr. appeared. He showed me two car wash options. I chose the more moderate one, $38. He charged me right there but I didn't leave tip beforehand though the machine prompts you to leave a tip. They clean the exterior and the interior of your car. I waited inside where you can purchase desserts and beverages, including a $7 cappuccino. Once my car was ready I drove off. I arrived at the grocery store, and for the life of me, I couldn't find the key. Usually they put it over the sun visor. The only thing that fell off was the receipt. I searched all over. An employee in the parking lot suggested that I check under the seat. Nothing! It was hot. I called the car wash multiple times and they didn't answer. I wanted to know where in the world do they place the car keys? I didn't want to return to the business. But I had no choice. The key was behind the windshield wiper, in the exterior of the car. I told the the attendant that gas is expensive. I will never leave a car wash again without knowing where my key is. I'm glad the key didn't fly off while I was driving.

The Car Wash people were nice but there was no attention to detail. Paid for a mini detail. My console cover was not cleaned, console still had sawdust on it, floor mats not properly cleaned. In short, there was little attention to detail. I could have driven my truck through a carwash tunnel and dried it myself for the same result and a third of the cost. I expect to get what I pay for. I will be returning to the hand wash a block south, even when the wait is longer than I would like.

This place is the equivalent of how you feel when you go to the spa to get your nails done, but it's your car. They were incredibly thorough and still finished in a timely manner. About 45 minutes from when I got in line (decently busy) until the car was done and clean! You're able to sit inside in the nice A/C and do computer work with their free WiFi. Or sit outside and watch sports on the TV. (Or u can go across the street for a delicious burger) I have a dog that travels with me everywhere. So yes, my car smells like dog! BUT when I say my car smelled fresh and clean for dayssss after I went to the car wash, I mean it! If you're deciding who to trust your car with, DEFINITELY GO HERE!! The staff are so polite and hard working. They will take care of your car. They care ab their customers and our needs, which is why you should go here!! I forgot to take pics but will next time!
