Last time they did my car it was great.. it just left white spots in my suv. Quality was great!

I have lived downtown Birmingham, Alabama for five years. I found Etheridge Brothers Car Wash back then. Since, I have used them exclusively. They take pride in their work. They are always very professional. If you want to try them out, call them for an appointment first. It is best to drop off your car and let them call you when it is ready. Because of covid, they attempt to be safe, and the customer lounge is not always available. In a day and age that everything cost more, and you still get less. Etheridge still does an outstanding job. read more

Years ago, many years ago, this car wash was good. Now, it's mediocre. The car wash is okay, used to be better, but the customer service is awful. The lack of professionalism is noticeable. I've been twice in the last couple of years and every time the woman inside is on her cellphone. It seems her conversation is more important than the customers. She talks to you while still talking on her cellphone. I remember when it was one cost for cars and a slightly higher cost for trucks. If you drove by and asked how much is a wash, they would tell you. Now, you have to go inside, let her look at your car and decide how much she wants to charge based on car size, type of wheel and any other add-ons she deems fit. It would be great if they had a clear and visible signage for entering. If you enter off of 3rd Avenue, there are some areas of the road and their lot that dips causing damage to your vehicle. They need signs showing the proper location for entering. I believe this car wash could be great again if they implement a few changes. read more

These guys know how it's done. I bought a used car from a friend who has kids. It was an absolute mess - as you can imagine from having two car seats installed in the back. I have four kids, and when they were that age - goodness gracious! You just can't know how nasty a car can get unless you have young kids. I dropped my car off in the morning on my way into work, and by 3:00 that afternoon I went to pick it up. It was SPARKLING CLEAN inside and out. These guys went above and beyond and literally made the car look as good as if I'd rolled it off of a new car lot instead of buying it from a young parent. I would recommend this car wash to anybody! Great value, great service, and you couldn't ask for nicer folks. read more

I love coming here to get my car cleaned! For $30 you can get your car (sedan) fully serviced inside and out by hands! No extra fees for add ons, etc... $30 literally gets you the full package, but Wednesdays are ladies day so $25 for all women. The staff here is very nice and friendly, and the men work very digilently. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get their vehicle hand washed/detaile read more

I called 6 times in 2 weeks and was only able to get through to the last time I called (I called on Wednesday and Thursday's during their hours of operations) when I finally did get through to them I made an 11am appointment the following day. Arrived at 10:45am the day of to be left standing out in the rain knocking on their door. No one was here and no one would answer my calls. They completely forgot about my appointment. read more

Our SUV was a hot mess. Months of track and football had the inside of our truck looking like a landfill . We took it to Etheridge Brothers and got the Shampoo Special and baybay I don't know what kind of magic they did but that truck looks showroom new!!! read more

So I love a hand car wash. I kept hearing mixed reviews about this car wash. So I decided to try it out for myself. First off, if your not familiar with the location. You will pass it and have to drive around. There isn't a sign that says enter car wash here. I had to call to confirm that I had to drive thru the alley.... They need better signage. They told me where to park. I requested the inside and out of my car cleaned. Since this was my first time I decided to wait outside. There is an option to sit in the inside if you want. Thank god I did... I seen people show up after me and there car was started and finished before mines???? Finally after saying something they started my darn car. I was there for 1 hour and 16 minutes, yes I timed them. I finally told them not to even worry about my inside I'll handle it myself. Yes, they apologized but still. They charged me the full price of $20. And it wasn't cleaned all the way. I still had to wipe my tires and mirrors smh read more

Etheridge Car Wash is a family owned business that provides exceptional service at a great price. They hand wash which matters to me as I have had damage to my car going through an express car wash. I usually wait while it's being washed and vacuumed, though you can also drop off and pick up later. The team really cares about their work; my car literally shines when they finish. read more

I have used them once before and had great quality service, this time it wasn't so pleasant. I arrived at 10:30AM -and was told by April that she could "work me in" I decided to leave my car since I had a kid with me. I left at 11:30AM, I called at 12:21PM to check to see if my car was ready, a woman answered, I assume it was April since she was the only lady there at the time, advised me that "it would be another 20 mins". I arrived at 1PM for my car to look the exact same way. I was charged $25 for the outside only, no apology for my inconvenience or lying about ETA, but I was still charged $25 for outside ONLY. I will NOT use their services ever again. read more

Had my car washed and waxed. They did a great job. They even had my headlights shining again. Highly recommend!

See Chris. He does a hell of a job. Great little spot convenient if you live downtown and don't have a garage or hose to wash your car. Price is overly reasonable for the quality and they finish in a very good amount of time. Will return on a regular basis Update: moved my review up to full stars. This place deserves it. read more

Do not use this car wash if you care about the protection and quality care of your vehicle. They have no discipline and wash cars very recklessly, my car was waxed and they did not tape off the edges, resulting in discoloration of my trim and stained cloth convertible top. I brought my car back to have them clean the cloth, and they cleaned the whole car again putting a 17 inch scratch in the hood which went through the base coat of paint - this required the hood to be repainted. The man washing my car admitted that the scratch was not there before he started washing it, but after they found out it could not be buffed out and had to be repainted, they began telling lies that all damage existed already and management pressured their employee to say the same, even though he told me differently. It appears this car wash has NO INSURANCE since they had no information to disclose to me or my insurance company. This place is very unprofessional and should not be in operation, do not take your vehicle here because they will not take responsibility for its well being and they are incapable of washing a car without damaging it. Etheridge Car Wash has been reported to the Better Business Bureau for their unethical practices and still have not cooperated, they will be reported to the Federal Trade Commission next. read more

This was our first experience taking our car to get detailed at Etheridge and we plan to use them in the future for all detailing and cleaning. Their team did such a great job and made our car look and feel brand new. The service was extremely affordable and their team showed a lot of attention to detail which the experience that much better. We can't wait to support this local business in the future! read more

The staff and attention to detail is phenomenal the precise detail in washing your vehicle is superb and amazing. This business is rich in tradition and the staff is caring and compassionate. I have visited several detail shops and car washes but Etheridge Bros carwash is the best the cars are hand washed with perfection and your exotic cars are not ran threw no machine. I recommend this business for all your carwash needs. The professionalism with staff is amazing. read more

After traveling from NC, my car needed a bath desperately and so did my fiancé's ram 3500 dually. On Saturday I took the truck to get washed, nervous at first of the small corner lot and afraid my truck wouldn't fit. As soon as I got out I was welcomed with smiling faces and laughter. About an hour later my white beast of a truck was STUNNING. Inside and out. Looked like it was just pulled off the lot. The leather interior was spotless and every crook and cranny clean of dirt and dust. So today I took my car. All black Dodge Avenger, that hadn't seen a vacuum in the interior in almost a year. Which is bad, especially since my job includes horses, dirt and wood shavings and also a 3 year old little boy. They take my car and start cleaning it, and an hour or so later it's done. I looked at the floor mats that once held gravel and dirt and didn't see a speck of either. My dash was sparkling, by a sign of dust on it like it has been before. The women inside were so nice. They let me know about their points you gain towards a free wash and what not for their regulars. Sadly I am unable to do that but told them I would definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again. Of course it started raining after my car was washed and they told me to come back Tuesday or Wednesday for a complimentary wash due to the rain. Sadly I had to decline but it made me so happy that they offered that. All the guys were extremely nice. Even gave me and my son and umbrella to use to get to my car! THIS IS A MUST STOP AT CAR WASH!!! The best wash you will ever find. Low prices and friendly service. My car was only $25 and the truck was $45. They get it done in a timely manner as well! Open from 7:30am to 5:00pm Monday-Saturday read more

Great place to get your car detailed great service and attention to you and your car. This really a men at work every body working none stop!! Kudos read more

Good Holiday weekend to all ! I just have to report. I got my wash job last Monday. Drove to Atlanta, Charlotte, Louisville, Indianapolis, Red Wing, MN then Minneapolis, Toledo and I'm in Akron, OH now and the truck has been through at least 5 major downpours. On the windshield you can see the road grime where the wipers don't get. But the paint job is still clean. I'm blown away !!! When I'm in Birmingham again I'll be hitting this spot. read more

They did an amazing job. I'm boring my friend car that have two dogs with hair all over it. After Etheridge Brother Car Wash did their magic the car had no sign of dog hair anywhere. I high recommend this car wash, if you want a detailed job. But be prepared to wait a while. Great to have a full-hand-wash service. A few cute car wash guys also helps. read more

Excellent service!!! Workers paid great attention to detail and they were very friendly. I will be going back! Excellent price for excellent service!!! read more

I ventured over here from New Orleans for a concert the night before. Car was filthy and bug ridden from the drive. Found these guys after researching some yelp places and so glad I did!

Etheridge Brothers Car Wash - So fresh. So clean. - Car Wash Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I went here for a car wash after a friend recommended it to me. Wednesdays are for the ladies...so car washes are $20. For $20, my car looked amazing! It was super clean! The lady in the waiting area also made sure I was comfortable and offered to adjust the temperature for me and everything. I highly recommend coming here for a car wash. They're great! read more

I have driven by this car every for the past 2 years while working downtown. Everything I drove by, I saw the guys out there putting work in and hand washing all the cars, so I finally decided to give them a try this past weekend. Oh man was I pleasantly surprised!!! The guys at the car wash treated my car with care and respect. They took their time to clean inside and outside of the car, now, granted it took about 45 minutes for my car to be fully cleaned, it was totally worth it!!! My car looks brand new like I just drove it off the lot. Awesome car wash and the price is SUPER reasonable for the result you get. I will now never go to a normal/regular car wash again and waste my money. Etheridge car wash is where you need to be!!! Ps. Uber drivers gets a $5.00 discount here!!! read more

Worst service even These people don't know what a full car detail is I was very dissatisfied with what I received . I looked over my car an the work that they did do was unsatisfactory. I would something out an the detailer would redo an they had my car for two hours. They suck !!!!. Don't do business with these people.!!!!! read more

A hidden gem! Being from out of town, I found these folks on Yelp.... Their work is amazing and, if you spend time chatting, will learn a lot about BHM.... Thanks to sister Eldridge in pointing me to the Civil Rights Museum along with 16th Street Baptist church...I have as humbled. And the car? Amazing!!!! Best $25 ever spent on a detail.... You changed me...you really changed me. read more

This is the best place in town to get your car hand washed. I have a relatively new car and I refuse to run it through a regular carwash. At Etheridge Brothers, everything is done by hand. They also have great attention to detail. I recommend getting there early in the day because they run first come first served. Because it can take up to an hour to get the car washed, if there are people in front of you, you might want to leave it there and return later. Wednesday is ladies day and they take $5 off. I also really like this place because it's family run and owned. The same people are always there and they are super nice. read more

This is the go-to car wash downtown. For $25 they hand wash the car and clean out the inside . You can get additional services if you pay more. People who work downtown often drop their car off here for a wash and pick it up after work. read more

Do not go here. I was a frequent customer a few years ago and always pleased with their service. However, I went back last month and received a very poor car wash. My car was still dirty inside and out. They left a spray bottle and rags in my car. GooGoo would have done a better job than them. read more

Pro.: Affordable, friendly and responsible people. Con.: Floor mats were wet. I am from New York City. Starting a new life right here in Birmingham area. Needless to say, my car would need to to clean. From Yelp, I found out this 5 stars rating place. So I gave it a try.... It took the guy about 64 minutes to finish the job. When he finished, my car was spotless clean. It worths every single dollar I paid for. Will I come back again? Of course, I will. I totally paid $25 for this hand wash service. I will definitely go back there. (updated)On 12/22/2016, this is my 2nd time here. The car wash was fantastic. This time took only 35 minutes. It worths every single penny. read more

I drove my 87 Buick GNX limited edition into their station and was welcomed and I welcomed the attention to the car and the care given. I left with my grandson to take care of some business and when returning they were putting on the finishing touch. I noticed how much care they gave all the cars in their station , Looks terrific , paid and left a tip for the care given, and even took some pictures it looked so good. I recommend Ethridge to anyone ! Ashleigh is the princess amongst the princes... read more

The WAIT was... much, much too long but the quality & the love that seemed to go into each vehicle made it all worth it. I definitely didn't feel robbed after receiving the full service wash. I will return again & again. Ohhh... the only thing missing was that fresh air freshener smell when you leave the commercial car washes (that's like the on top). read more

I have been looking for a place where I can get my car washed inside and out in Birmingham and I've finally found it! I had a ton of wet sand all over the floorboards of my new car and now it looks great. Plus it was much more affordable than I had estimated. I walked over to the pizitz for lunch while I waited and my car was done after about an hour and a half (I bet if you don't go right at lunch time like I did you won't have to wait as long). I will definitely get my car washed here again! read more

I generally do not review on Yelp but in this case I feel compelled. These folks take great care in their work. Wonderful attention to detail and tremendously thorough for a great price.

Great experience at Etheridge! I came with a car covered in dog hair and they were able to vacuum all of it up and make my car look brand new inside and out. The staff are very professional and courteous. The manager worked especially hard to make sure customers were seated six feet apart and in the shade on what was a very hot day. I will certainly be back! read more
