It's not like most of the Delta Sonics I have been to...this one is small and has a short carwash and small number of gas pumps. But, the people are friendly and the car wash works! read more

Went in for an internal cleaning + trunk detail. Was told it would take "about an hour". Ended up sitting in the lobby for over 3 and almost missed picking up my family from the airport. Quality of clean doesn't make up for it either. Place obviously run by kids out of high school for the summer. Pathetic customer service. Find elsewhere. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Went through the wash last week. Hand drying people now use compressed air to remove any stuck water from mirror. It ran down the drivers side from where mirror is and was chemicals from the wash. Will not wipe off. Went back the next morning & they are claiming it's not their fault. That is was prior damage. It wasn't. I see my car daily and have pics. Now a $10 wash is going to be a $300 buff job. They should've at least contributed to the fix instead of lying. Note all the negative reviews below. You'll have 3 in a row & then a 5 one. The positive ones do not seem believable. read more

No self vacuum. Big buck vacuum option only. Watch out. Money taker at gate was not fully cooperative regarding turn around options when I didn't want the vacuum with shampoo. He told me to back up about 30 ft. I drove forward instead and exited through open gate to street on right. What a shiester! read more

PSA, do not use Apple Cash at to buy anything at Delta Sonic. They will double charge and you may not get back your money. I used Apple Cash, which is not the same as Apple Pay, to pay for $10.33 worth of stuff. After I was rung up and paid with Apple Cash, I watched in real-time $10.33 deducted from my balance. The register locked up after paying and the clerk said they will have to do over on next cash register. I ask why? II then asked for my money to be returned first. She said my Apple Cash would be refunded later, then charged me again on a different cash register. After calling corporate office, filing a complaint with Apple Cash, 10 days later I still did not get my money back. Went back to store and all they can do is give me a F-ing gift card. 1) If you use Apple Cash, do not let them try charge you twice 2) You do not have to sign if you use Apple Cash, Apple Cash is NOT credit and they already took the money from you 3) After 3 years using Apple Cash, this is the only place I've been scammed $10.33 does not sound like a lot, but if I had stole $10.33 of product from them, they would would call the cops. I feel violated because a corporation stole not just stole $10.33 right in my face, but also wasted my time just to get a gift card I can only use in their store. I'm so mad, I was thinking of canceling my subscriptions and never tipping again there. read more

This place is a complete madhouse. When there are a lot of people in line, it does not move at all and I don't think they're doing much too manage the flow of cars off the pain lanes. If you are an unlimited member, you can zip right through but if you're taking just one car wash, prepare to wait a very long time. I haven't moved one car length in the last seven minutes and at this point with so many cars ahead of me I'm likely going to turn around and come back another time. It's 4 PM on a Saturday afternoon by the way. read more

Haven't had a car wash all winter. 1st time at this delta sonic ever. Signed up for the UNLIMITED car wash plan. Went through 4 times total only because the first time it was not the unlimited level wash and didn't wash the underneath of my car and again I haven't had a wash in a very long time. After getting out I had an aggressive man walk up to me and tell me I cannot go through the car wash that many times. He said, "It's supposed to be 1 a day". 1. That's NOT unlimited, false advertising 2. I've had the unlimited at a different delta sonic and I always went through at least twice and no one ever made me feel uncomfortable. 3. He made me feel like I had done something wrong for using the service I paid for. So thanks to the guy at delta sonic who made me so beyond uncomfortable before 8am. I will be cancelling. read more

Buyer beware. I've had the "unlimited" car wash package for several years. Received an email informing me that the cost was going up an additional $4. The rep I spoke to basically said that my rate keeps increasing because I use the "unlimited" car wash package too much. Make that make sense read more

Delta Sonic needs to learn the customer is always right. I see many many negative reviews because of their condescending attitudes and ignoring people's feelings in our case they are losing a life long customers we probably spend over 500 dollars a year over a 90 dollar upcharge so they will be losing 10000 in revenue rather then just reimburse us as seems to be the case with many complaints lately. Our car was not cleaned very well yet we paid 342 dollars instead of 250 still getting the rude arrogant treatment they would rather lose customers apparently then do right thing 250 dollars is more than enough to clean anything! I read reviews were people thought 40 was too much! If they would have allowed me to back out I would have vacuumed the items in the pictures was told no.big deal we will take care of it have a witness to that! I'm disabled and in a lot of pain what they are putting me through is cruel and awful read more

Delta Sonic Car Wash - Spots still all over - Car Wash Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

This is a decent basic wash called the Super Kiss +, normally $23. However, they don't actually do some of the things they claim. I had the "Plus" Wash done today which lists tire dressing as one of the services. No such service was performed. The tires are as gray as they were when I came in. This was the first time I've had the car washed since some messy winter days and the wheel wells still show the remnants of salt from the road. The rest of the car came quite clean and the staff doing the hand wipe are friendly and effective. read more

Delta Sonic Car Wash has to be one of my favorite places to get the inside and outside of my car cleaned. All the workers are very thorough when cleaning, and attentive to default when cleaning the cars. It does take about 30 minutes to do both but they do have a waiting room! I'll be back! read more

Two items: 1.Interior detail cleaning used steam to clean my touchscreen which forced water and dust behind the screen. Photo evidence attached. 2. Door cup rubber inserts on passenger side were both lost. Photo evidence attached. July 2nd: Showed manager and he mentioned these were common issues and he filed claim. July 9th: I received a generic response that claim was denied with no details. Filed complaint with Better Business Bureau. Also, I tried calling the number below, but no help. I kept getting put on hold. read more

This review is for the car wash only. I have a monthly pass. They have this process down cold. They waste no time in getting you through the gate, into the car wash, and out to the hand dryers. Hand dryers are quick and great at what they do. There always seems to be just the right amount of people to dry your car that the wait time is one car at most. 90% of the time it's now wait. If you are in a hurry or prefer touchless car wash, check this place out! read more

Delta Sonic Car Wash - Main sign - Car Wash Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Purchased the Super Interior and wasn't worth the money They failed to vacuum the cargo area and the back of the second row seats. Exterior looked good but failed on interior I purchase the coupon online and there was no mention of the cargo area costing extra. This was never addressed when dropping off the vehicle. I returned home and removed the cargo liner to air out the vehicle since the floor mats were still wet. At that time I saw the driver's side headrest area was never cleaned. I guess I needed to inspect every inch of the Jeep before leaving and not taking for granted everything was done. Never was charged extra for cleaning the cargo area at any other car wash. read more

To be honest, I think Delta Sonic has become overpriced for the service it offers. It's also higher priced now than what is shown online. @$45 is too high for a simple interior cleaning and a car wash, and it's higher than last year. There were hardly any cars there on a Saturday afternoon in April, so I was in and out pretty quickly, but that's indicative that customers do not feel the value is there anymore. A year ago, I though the technician did a fabulous job. These guys even took two dimes out of my car! I'll find another car wash closer to my house that's better, thanks. To Kim C.: Yes, I do "feel this way," and judging from how short the line was, your customer base is dropping off. I think you need to reset your priorities. You could start by demanding that the technicians not take change out of someone's car, and updating your onscreen prices so that they match reality. read more

This car wash location is top-notch. They are consistent with their services, and the work never wavers. The staff in all departments are always pleasant. They never seem angry, overworked, or unhappy to be there, which these days is a beautiful thing to see. You often see the same staff on a regular basis which means they don't have a ton of turnover. The managers are easily accessible and always say hello when they pass you by. I recommend the monthly fee for unlimited washes. It REALLY pays! Dealing with Delta Sonic is a pleasure, and I'm happy to give them my business. read more

Delta Sonic Unlimited is a scam. This wash used to be unlimited. Now, they have my card on file and if I go thru the wash more than 3/month they increase my price. Not that different from Cable TV jacking up your bill. I have multiple cars with interior and exterior so called unlimited memberships. I use the exterior 1/week per car and exterior 1/quarter per car. They keep creeping up the bill. I call headquarters in Rochester NY and every now and then somebody will listen but it's usually just lip service. Go somewhere else where you get what pay for without the continuous bad billing service in addition to the long wait at a crowded wash. read more

I absolutely love the touchless nature of this car wash. Doesnt break modifications while still making my car clean. A little pricy, but definitely worth it. read more

Not cool Delta Sonic, you ask me where you want them to concentrate the cleaning on and totally ignore the area after I specially point it out to your guy. Also, no new air freshener after you ask me what scent I want-just left the old one in-geez! I paid for the extra steam/crevice cleaning and so many areas were missed today for the "extra cleaning" service. I had to go back and clean the areas they missed, I don't have time to go back today. Listen, I get that some areas can be missed-but to totally ignore the ONE area I told them needed to be cleaned is why I am writing this review. It wasn't even that busy since I came before 9am so not sure why there was an oversight. I've had the steam cleaning before and they usually do a good job but the last 2 times have been so so and this last time was not good. One extra star because the actual car wash is pretty good; I like the towel drying and can come back in 5 days for another wash. Not sure if I will be back :( read more

I cannot say enough good things about Delta Sonic. I've been an unlimited member for about eight years. Over the years, I've developed relationships with employees and managers throughout the establishment. Rafael ALWAYS goes above and beyond for me. He knows how much I care about my car and if there are ever any problems or he thinks I am the slightest bit unhappy, he always does what is needed to resolve any problems. Because of how personable he always is, I decided to purchase the unlimited interior monthly package last year. Last month, I was involved in an accident in which another driver ran a red light and totaled my brand new car. I ended up calling Delta to cancel/freeze my memberships as I was left without a car. When I spoke to Rafael on the phone, he was genuinely concerned about not only my car, but my safety as well. After what seemed like forever, I came by today to wash my new ride. I activated all of my memberships and actually had a solid conversation with him. When I picked up my new car, the windows were tinted and the insides were all smudged from the tint installation. I asked if I would be able to skip the interior line and just get a couple of towels to wipe down the smudges since the tints were set. He took it upon himself to do it for me and ensure that my car looked perfect before I left. (With the help of Jonathon (Lvl 3) at the drying station) I really appreciate his ability to be down-to-earth and his attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed. I always look forward to coming in and seeing him! Thanks for always going above and beyond! read more

Delta Sonic Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Went to have my car detailed. They left it parked for over an hour until I asked what was taking so long. They had completely forgotten about my car. When they finally finished they didn't clean the center compartment even when I asked for it to be done beforehand. Had to get the manager twice to get my car actually cleaned. They refunded me my money but wasted 2 hours of my time for a mediocre clean. Don't go here. read more

I went to use my free oil change I received when I signed up for unlimited wash. The free oil change cost me $10 but that's another story. A couple of days after the oil change I noticed a large oil spot where I park my truck. At first I thought it might be from the oil they spilled on my engine during the oil change but I looked under the truck and seen this tiny oil filter where normally there is a large oil filter for my V10 6.8 liter engine. I started the truck and watched the oil spew from the oil filter seal. I sent a comment to delta sonic and a few days later a rep called me and said they used the right filter and if I want to pursue the matter I should take it up with the store where it happened. They lost my business for sure! read more

Need to give a shout out to this location! Jose C and Manny did one of the best jobs on my wife's care I have seen!

They saw, and took care of our car and did an excellent job! Thank you!!!! read more

My family and I have been going Delta Sonic for over a decade and have the unlimited memberships on all of our vehicles. We have never really had any issues until recently. As of late, every time I been getting my car back from its interior cleaning, a certain employee has been connecting their personal device to my cars Bluetooth system. I really am not one to complain because it didn't want to make it a big deal but this happened multiple times and their device was even saved on my vehicle. Where my issue lies is last week I came in again for my interior cleaning and after my vehicle was returned to me, I was missing my small adapter needed for my phone to connect to my vehicles CarPlay and navigation. Before I notified the manager on site I looked under the seats and carpets just to rule out if it somehow was pulled out accidentally. When I notified the manager on site, he did the same thing and basically had me fill out a form and that they "would investigate". I asked him how they would "investigate" something that essentially happened inside my car even if there are cameras inside the establishment.. Didn't really give me a convincing answer. I had a meeting in the city that day and had to go out of my way to have to get a another adapter in order to use my cars GPS. Whether it was stolen or accidentally misplaced, they really did not take any responsibility and told me they would reach out within 7 days. Its been way over a week. If this is how they are going to treat complains and concerns, then I thinks its best I take my business elsewhere. Update: As expected they refused to take any accountability. A letter.... wow not even a follow up phone call, nothing. The Business Managers response below just goes to show how they will take care of you as a customer. read more

Honestly I drove all the way from Mundelein to come to this car wash because they do interior cleaning. At the booth I told the employee I wanted basic cleaning for interior. He convinced me to upgrade for 35.99 with steam cleaning. I gave in so I'd have a nice clean car. They ask me what I would like them to focus on. I told them basic wiping down, cup holders and vacuuming. My car smelled like a DIRTY rag theyd be using over and over all day long. There was still dust on my dashboard and I had to wipe it with a baby wipe. I have a young child so they spill a lot. This business failed to do anything I asked... even when I agreed to upgrade my services. Waste of my money and $6 tip. EDIT: I called this business as they requested me to reach out. They asked me to come back so they could fix their mistake and completely refunded my money. I was very pleased to see they owned up to their mistakes and took measures to fix it. read more

Nope. Just nope. $150 should at least clean my car, and Delta Sonic couldn't even give me that. I came here once before, maybe a year ago, and thought they did an okay job with a basic interior/exterior clean. So when my car had gotten past the point where I felt I could adequately clean it myself, I thought of Delta Sonic for an interior detail. And while I appreciate their "inspection" area at the end, they wouldn't work with me to get my car clean in very noticeably missed areas. The windows were crazy streaky, side mirrors had water spots or hasn't even been cleaned, and there was dirt/dust all over the from dash and steering wheel area. When I asked about hair all over the backseat, the girl told me that was the best they were going to get. When I pointed out dust and dirt all over the front vents, she said "yeah, we don't do anything with the vents," something that doesn't match up with the detail description online. The front cup holders were visibly still dirty with white build-up, and when I asked for it to be cleaned, the girl told me, "yeah, I already sprayed a ton of stuff and it's just not coming up." I said, "okay, I'll get my spray from the back then?" And processed to clean my own car after paying a buttload of money for it to be done by Delta Sonic. Also, the time complaint is real. Their "one hour" express interior detail took over two and a half hours. And after that, it wasn't even clean! Never again. EDIT: Despite messaging the owner my contact information, no one ever called me to follow-up... read more

As usual the service level at Delta Sonic is terrible! I bought the coupon for the interior cleaning with stream and every time I go in, the wait is about 2 hours! Now that it's the end of the month and the coupon expires on April 30, I asked staff on site and also called their costumer service tonsee if I coukd get an extension on the coupon and was told no. Now if I want to use the coupon, it's useless since now I have to pay full price! This is not the 1st time this has happened to me here. I've been a customer at this location for 30 years! Now all the site cares about is its unlimited customers and not the ones that come when they can when they can afford it! And the automation has brought the quality if the wash downhill. I will now only go to the car wash at Lake Cook and Hicks where customers are treated well and the quality if the wash is supurb! read more

The best carwash I've ever been to. The entire facility is extremely clean and amazingly well run. It's full service offering not only cleaning of the outside of the car, but also offering a large variety of different interior detail options.

Be aware of this place! They take customers as a fools ... I thought to give this place a try to see the quality of work . Obviously you can sense you will be ripped off completely from entry! I brought my dads car here thinking the job will get done and my father will be impressed and happy. It was disappointing coming here ! I wish if I went to that car wash on Rand Rd that cost $3 wash , and I would've my self clean the car on the inside and made sure it's spotless! I paid $34 for interior and basic wash . And let me tell you . The dash is still full of dust and dirt . The driver side floor mate was supposed to be washed , but they managed to hide the floor mat under another one pretending they cleaned it. And above all they get tips in the end . Biggest rip off ! No way will come back. I even warned my friends and families after showing them the pictures. read more

Thank you!! read more

I have three young kids so my car has the wear and tear of snacks, mud, etc. Recently, my kids were sick so there was a vomit incident and two pee accidents on my seats and floor. I called Delta after multiple other places said they couldn't get me in for two weeks. Delta was able to get me in the same day for a professional outside/inside detail. Tony was extremely helpful and friendly. When I picked my car up, it felt like I'd bought a new car! New car smell, shiny inside and out. No trace of the three kids' 3 years worth of messes. I absolutely would go back again! read more

New to actually taking care of my vehicles, I decided to get car wash gift cards with interior cleaning for Christmas. On a cold and snowy day, I though, hey I bet the Delta Sonic will be pretty quiet, lets give it a try. The staff out side were waiting to accommodate me, and were both prompt and courteous. Climbing out of my vehicle, I was immediately offered an upgrade to "detail" the vinyl in the car for an additional $39, I declined because I wanted to see what kind of job they did with just a regular interior cleaning. Left to wait, I explored their comfortable waiting room inside the gas station store and sat in a leather chair, and drank my coffee. Expecting a clean car, I was disappointed when I came out to inspect my Jeep following a 20 minute cleaning session. At the beginning, I was asked if there was an area I wanted them to focus on, and I mentioned the dog hair and the pine needles from a Christmas tree; I had to have them remove what to me was a significant amount of loose dirt from the back of the car after they said they were finished but ultimately left unsatisfied I got value for the cleaning I paid for. Next time, I think I could do a better job myself at the $3 car wash with their free vacuum, it just wasn't worth what I paid for an interior cleaning. read more

Probably the most famous car wash in the area with lots of extra options for customizing the wash (and getting a detailed cleaning). It's big, it's flashy, and it's a fun experience in watching others get their cars washed and sitting through your own. The waiting area is large, well air-conditioned, and has much more items to purchase than the typical car wash. Be careful as lines can be quite long during the summer, much more than you'd see at any other car wash in the area. Part of this is due to the numerous promotions and discounts offered (including unlimited washes). While you probably won't get the most attention and best wash here -- you'll definitely experience a car wash adventure on your visit here. That alone is probably worth a visit at least once. read more
