I unfortunately have to give this business a low rating. I like to wash my car often. Especially when I get back from traveling/work. This review is only for self wash. 4 bays total. For the last several months you cannot use filtered water to do your final rinse. I have tried different bays. Still nothing. I would recommend bringing a way to dry your care right after. Otherwise spots. Drive through. You have 2 to choose from. Automated spray and brush style. Overall a bit expensive. But appears you can get a filters final rinse . Overall given cost, better management should be considered. read more

To start off, the soap on the drive thru wash is pointed up at the ceiling so the soap was only on the right side of the vehicle and as the water was being sprayed to rinse the vehicle, soap dripped back down on it. the water didn't even get all the soap off of the car. we then pulled into the manual wash to rinse the car off completely. When we went to use the blow dryer, it had no pressure to it whatsoever. A hair dryer would've done a better job. worst car wash ever. wasted our money. read more

Desoto Auto Wash - This picture was taken after the blow dryers. - Car Wash Near Me - Arcadia, Florida

Broken equipment, no call back after repeated attempts. Drove into auto wash bay on signal . Car got sprayed with water then shut down .

Worst car wash ive been to. Used the coin wash. Put in $5. First i used the foaming wash. Didnt even appear to have any soap in it. Added quarters and only got like 25 seconds extra. Kept running out of time. After $8 in quarters i had a minute left. Always finish with spot free rinse. It barely dribbled out anything. Left with everything spotty. I highly recommend finding another car wash. This place is the worst. read more

This is the worst car wash ever!!! NO SOAP Almost Every Time Brushes never work there's never any clearcoat this is for the automatic Wash worst ever always broken down to. The the blowers don't work nothing works. No soap comes out. This place should be shut down and it is the only one in Arcadia actually sad that this is the only one and it's always tacky and not working properly almost every time I go I only use this because I can no longer wash my car by hand and it's the only one in their town so now I have to go out of town for a good car . Please do not waste your money here not be happy with the end result. read more

If you want a good car wash at this place, use the drive in spots where you physically have to wash your car. The automatic brush drive in does a lousy job since the brushes are old and missing lots of bristles. The attached photo was taken today after I paid for a $9.00 wash job. DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH!! read more

Desoto Auto Wash - WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!! - Car Wash Near Me - Arcadia, Florida

Can't even give 1 star. I used my card to washed my car. It cost $8.90. My card was charged $32. When you call their number it just shuts off.. no answer... DON'T USE THIS CAR WASH!!! read more

Don't waste your money on the automatic car wash. It does a poor job. The manual car wash works ok. The whole car wash is dilapidated and could use a major overhaul. Thankfully, a real car wash is coming to Arcadia soon. read more

Just lost $10 cash in auto car wash. Called phone # at 10:50 am, no answer and no voicemail. How do I get voucher or a refund? 239-264-9571 read more

self wash car wash was great! easy to use and got the job done. the auto wash is likely what gave this place such a bad review because the self wash was good and busy! read more

This is the second time I am coming to this car wash and it took my money and no service. I just put a $20 note in the coin machine and it immediately said no service, it didnt give me my money back and I didn't get any change. I called the number that's there and answer. I want my money back. read more

Just tried to wash my vehicle, paid cash and it was broken. Even pushed the coin return in hopes to get my money back and nothing.

This place is no good, AT ALL. I put $5.00 in quarters in, I needed to wash the lovebugs off of my new Corvette. First, NO PREWASH, Second, NO HIGH PRESSURE SOAP,, Next, the rinse water wasn't much more than a pee stream. I WASTED $5.00, The city should do something about this place. But, the city of Arcadia doesn't care about how businesses are run, they don't care about the image of the city. BUT, THIS CAR WASH, DONT WASTEYOUR MONEY. THEY SHOULD SHUT IT DOWN, YOULL JUST WASTE YOUR MONEY read more

This place is a joke. It charge me 6 dollars and did nothing for my car. I had to come home and wash my car. Just looked at my bank account and they are cha me 10 dollar. No I paid for the 6 dollars one. Ane the number they have don't work. read more

I would give no stars but they won't allow it. I went today and paid $14 for a wash I didn't receive. Literally pulled my car in, it spent 15 seconds spraying my car then prompted me to exit. An elderly gentleman advised me the same happened to him and that he was upset no one was onsite nor is there any contact information to raise any concerns. Don't waste your money. This is a sham business. read more

This is the worst car wash in Florida. I paid for the Platinum wash and it left streaks all over my car. I paid for the manual wash and it came out dirty water. Don't waste your time and money on this rat hole. So, I'm still looking for a decent car wash. read more

My debit card number was used fraudulently in Miami shortly after I went here. And my car wasn't clean.

05/29/22 No voice commands on the brushless wash! Swiped my car twice because I thought the first time didn't work. Second time, noticed at the entrance, the sign said enter car wash! I checked my credit card a couple days later & I have been charged $12.00 (charged twice for the $6.00 one!) Called the number 494-1044 as listed on website and it rings & rings. No one answers & no way to leave a message. Went by the car wash, stopped & took note of the number displayed on the building, 941-451-7627 & it doesn't even ring! No attendant & no customers in sight on 06/02/22! Would like a refund of $6.00 or a code for next wash! read more

Used my card to use pressure washer, and stopped it at $5 and charged my card $20. Tried to call them multiple times with no answer.

If we were able to leave a zero for the business I would. We were there on 6/14/22 paid for $14.00 for the wash. Entered the wash it never gave us a sign to stop so the wash could start. We backed up several times and nothing. Drove around to the box again and still saying to enter the car wash. Again nothing. We had so many love bugs we decided to try the bay on the other side. Paid $10.00 for that and it worked. Noticed on my card I had been charged $24.00 for washes. Tired as some have before to contact the business with no response. Phone rings and rings with no answer and then just disconnects. we have emailed them twice also with no response. We don't live in Arcadia so it's difficult to stop by and discuss this with anyone. We need our $14.00 back. Reading all the other reviews it looks like that won't happen. If you're in Arcadia and need a car wash DO NOT GO TO DESOTO AUTO WASH. There's enough going on these days without a car wash ripping people off. read more

Only half as good as others, literally. I stopped for an automatic wash, inserted my 10 bucks, and entered the wash. Only half of the brushes worked, leaving me with a vehicle half clean. I called the number listed on the building and left a message with two return numbers. NO response. I won't go back. read more
