It's a subscription based car wash. It's not that great but gives you a good rinse. You get what you pay for which isn't necessarily a knock on value. read more

Fins Car Wash - 5 different spots on the car that didn't come off. I really just use for a rinse and the vacuum. - Car Wash Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Are there too many car washes on Folly Road? Yes. But, Fins is clean, efficient, offers a variety of single use or subscription plans, free vacuums, easy in and out service and more. It is a few miles from and to Folly Beach so quite convenient. Car washes start as low at $5.00 read more

Just a quick update, i love Fins, They have plenty of options to choose from for your dar wash and i usually get the 7 dollar one but i think soon i am going to invest in getting the nicer ones, you definitely pay for what you are getting. So its very inexpensive but it does the job. They are so helpful; and always have a smile on their face which goes a long way for me. I love going during odd hours or else you get stuck in traffic turning into fins car wash, and there are more supplies and open spots during the work hours. My favorite little surprise is when they stick their cars withs car refreshers and little wipes, you have to catch them on a good day for those though. anyways i would recommend fins to everyone, inexpensive easy, free vacuums and free spray and towels to use there. definitely need to check it out. read more

Who can beat a $5 car wash with free vacuums, free towels and windex and free mat cleaning machine? Now granted, if you want a fancier wash you can most definitely do so for more but it's really unbeatable. Sometimes your car doesn't come out perfect, but that's what the free towels are for (and usually if you're completely dissatisfied with your car's wash you can usually tell someone and they let you run it through again without charge. If you haven't washed your car for 6 months and your car doesn't come clean the first round I'm pretty sure that's on you. They also offer an unlimited plan that my husband loves as he parks under a sappy tree every day. read more

Best car wash in town! Nice hehehe brushes and your wheels go on a flat rubber thing instead of in between two metal rails. After your wash, there are plenty of bays with high powered vacuums, clean rags and glass cleaner and an amazing mat wash machine that even takes weather tek mats. A little difficult to get in and out of because of the angle of the entrance on a busy road, but still worth going to. read more

Be careful if you have a front license plate! After doing the $5 wash I notice my front plate was bent pretty bad on both sides. The employee was super nice and helped me bend it back into place. The free vacuums are nice and worked good. They also have towels and glass cleaner. It wasn't very busy when I went on the weekend. read more

Such an easy car wash to get in and out of. My car is always clean after a wash here. Great service for the money! The vacuums are extremely powerful and do a great job. They have clean, rags and spray for the interior. This is my go to place for a car wash. read more

I have a membership to Fins and come at least twice a week! I recently downgraded my membership thinking it wouldn't be a big deal but I didn't notice suds before left on my mirrors after each wash since. They have great hours 8am-8pm everyday. I like having the membership to come and go as needed. They also have vacuums, mat cleaners, and window cleaner to use after each wash. I love coming here and having a clean car after each wash! read more

I think it's great for the price if your looking for a very quick rinse and clean. I definitely still bad soap and water on my car as I pulled out. Your car is on a moving belt and the options and process is quite easy and straight forward. What I loved was the free vacuums, free car mat cleaner too. I've never seen that other places. But I was disappointed I had soap still on my car. The tires looked great after though. read more

40% price increase this year. They can't even maintain their vacuums in good order and the drive through car wash does a mediocre job washing at best. read more

My favorite car wash place!!! I got the second tier level wash! My car looked spotless! And the included high power vacuum stations and towel plus window cleaner available is awesome! Not only that, to top it off the floor mat cleaning machines included are epic!! Love this place! Can't wait to go back! You can basically fully detail your car for cheap at this place! read more

Good deal given that you can use the vacuums and mat washer without additional cost. There was something wrong with the gate when I came in today but that didn't delay me more than a minute or two. The car wash didn't get my car the cleanest (but also didn't rip my license plate off like some others have done) and the mat washing machine didn't get the mats super clean (I had to run them through twice). Would come again except in summer I'd rather go to the Cactus Car Wash in Mount Pleasant and pay someone to do the labor for me because I can't imagine doing what I did today in the heat. read more

The staff in generally not very helpful, but today I was very disrespected by a woman who works there. She waved her hand at me to leave when I was voicing my concern. She didn't want to hear what I had to say and her coworker didn't try to make it any better. read more

Wow, incredible. I was in the car wash yesterday When all of a sudden my vehicle stopped once I got to the dryers. I didn't think much of it at first but as the car behind me got closer and closer and closer I began to panic. I checked to make sure that I wasn't on the brakes accidentally, which I wasn't. I even started to look around to see if anyone outside could help me with what's going on. Eventually started waving my arms to the guy behind me but he didn't see. But eventually I had to step on the brakes and put it into drive as the car behind me was getting extremely close. Just before I could pull away,I felt a nudge and threw it in the drive and took off. Once outside I saw that the car behind me and impacted my rear bumper and left two small scratches in the bumper. I immediately reported it. However, now after reviewing tapes they claim that my foot was on the break. I know for a fact that it clearly was not. They attempted to show me some video where They claim my brake light came on 25 feet earlier in the tunnel. My foot was not on the brake pedal and to me it looked pretty clear what they are claiming is my break, is the reflection of the red light above. It's similar to red light that was seen on other cars passing by on the video. What I felt was that when I got to the tire cleaners and dryers all of a sudden my car got stuck. Unfortunately they will not own up to this. I would highly recommend that people stay away as they will not honor their faulty equipment. read more

The actual machinery of the car wash was fine. (it did bend my license plate cover) but my main issue was their vacuums and mat cleaners. They did more harm that good. the vacuums didn't work and i asked other people and they said none of the vacuums has suction. The machine that cleans the mats did not take any dirt off of my mat. It made it even dirtier and I could still beat sort out of it even after running it through the machine 3 times. I was very disappointed and the employees were of no help. read more

I'm very appreciative of the service at Fins Car Wash on Savannah Highway. This past Thursday, I stopped in at Fins to run my car through the wash, and I forgot to remove a magnet from the back of my car before heading into the cycle. I realized it was missing at the vacuum station, so I asked about it. Both gentlemen running the business that day were very helpful. They didn't reprimand me for not removing. They both tried to locate it. The one very kind gentleman offered me another similar magnet that had been lost, and eventually located mine, AND tracked me down as I was leaving to return it . Thanks so much for the attention to customer satisfaction. read more

I had so much pollen on my car that I had to do a lot of scrubbing by hand after I went through. But I talked to one of the attendants about it and they let me go through again for free thank you!! read more

Fins Car Wash on Savannah Highway in West Ashley is a great place to get your car washed and cleaned. My car gets really dirty and I do not always have the time to get it cleaned, but Fins makes it super easy and convenient to get everything done quickly and for a good value.

Fins Car Wash - Fins Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I received noticeable scratches on my vehicle as a result of a wash at this location on Savannah Highway. I filed a claim and the owner/GM Jon blew it off and claimed nothing happened and refused to correct the issue. I'm not the only one, as others have commented here that they've received scratches on their vehicles as well. It's not at all worth it to have a cheap car wash that does a couple hundred $$ worth of damage to your vehicle. Steer clear of this place. read more

We recently used the Fins Car Wash on Savannah Highway and what should have been a $10 car wash has now cost hundreds to fix the issues caused by the car wash. Their machines left a gritty film on our car that won't come off with regular hand washing or scrubbing and must be tended to by a detailing expert. Upon bringing this to Fins attention, they were less than empathetic and constantly tried to deny their machines were capable of leaving such residue like this despite it happening as well to the car after ours and one of their employees having expressed that they have seen it happen before. We filed an incident report last week however, the GM at the location seemed less than positive that Fins would do anything to resolve the issue. Since we have posted on our neighborhood site, several people have come forward having the same issue. DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH- it will ruin your car. This is a brand new car, a few months old that now has to be clayed to fix the issue then resealed. I am hoping this review gets someone's attention at Fins. A lawsuit shall follow if this is not addressed appropriately. read more

I'm downgrading my review after recent disappointments with their services. When I signed up, their standard hours were 8am-8pm daily. Those have since changed and have been changed for weeks. Hours are now 9am-6pm, which is terrible for anyone who has to work. I spoke to the owner (John?) and he said that they had to adjust the hours because of staffing issues. I get that, but still, customer service would improve with a coupon or something for the inconvenience. Also, one of the two kiosks when you check in has been down for weeks, so that means all the traffic is funneling through one kiosk, and the line has been almost down to the road somedays. They should fix it and maybe make one for members and one for non-members, that way members aren't stuck behind someone who can't figure out how to scan their debit card, smartphone, or decide which wash they want. Also, many of the vacuum stations are coned off and out of service for some reason. Considering the traffic through this place, it's another inconvenience. I want to be happy here, but I'm about to cancel my membership because I can never get in due to the hours, and when I do, it's a LONG wait to get in to the wash itself. read more

Came here on a whim, on the way to Charleston. Fast, easy, and convenient! Nuff said! Great price. Great wash

This car wash did a decent job on the sides of the vehicle. BUT, the hood and top were left filthy. I had to hand wash when I got home. The dirt came right off with soap, water, and a rag. No reason that the car wash should've done which a bad job. And I did pay for the "best" ($20) wash that they had. I only wish that I had taken before, after, and after hand washing pictures. Cannot recommend at all. read more

Updated review: super happy when I used this car wash a few months ago. Wow, it has gone down hill fast. Last two times I have gone there has been no towels or no spray bottles. After hunting everywhere and speaking to customer staff they said "they're drying and would be out soon." Recently, after going through a staff member was blowing the leaves from the car wash bay INTO my car as it was going through the wash. He wasn't even blowing the leaves out of the bay and instead into the wash area. The machines don't seem kept up with as afterwords I pulled over to find a bunch of scratches on the back. I couldn't have been the only one who went through this as the lady next to me was speaking to a staff member about the back of her car which was all scratched up and plate dented. Unfortunate to see this happen. read more

Love this place. Only main complaint is that my app never scans for points. I usually don't have time to go in and talk to someone about this. Also I wish they were open later. read more

Hate to give them a 5 yet but might update it. Changed my mind. Right now it is 5 star until they prove me wrong. I joined with the standard wash monthly at $33 a month but got a reduction of at least $5 for being an AAA member. Much less than the cost of 2 washes. So somewhere around 27$ a month and unlimited free washes. I went through an extra time that same day because the person that I worked with on the package pointed out the back of my car was not cleaning properly because of my trailer hitch. He was right!. I have been back already once in less than a week to "test" it out and good results. The scan did not pick up my label on the first try. But pushed a button and it checked again and worked. One of the coolest items was the matt cleaner. Use it dry for first time if lots of dirt and then switch over to water and get clean mats. This is free with any wash and awesome. Also the self serve vacuums work better than any other that I have used anywhere else. I recommend this place highly! read more

Fins Car Wash - First time. Impressive - Car Wash Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Do not go here! I have been to Fins a few times before and quickly realized that the car wash does absolutely nothing to clean my car (after buying the $20 wash) and ever since would just pay the $5 just to get my car wet and spend the next hour using the vacuums and rags just to clean it myself. I went to get my car washed on the 1st of the year and as I was halfway through the wash, the machine ripped my mirror off and twisted my antenna (didn't care as much about the antenna as that is an easy fix compared to my whole mirror being snapped off). The WORST part of all of this was the customer service that followed... I went inside and told them what happened and one of the employees said "I don't know what you would like me to do, this happens all the time here and we have yet to cover the damage or take responsibility for any of them. I don't see you being any different. Once your car hits the belt, any damage is your fault". I made them file an incident report for me and heard back a week later from the "manager" who said they would take fault (shocker) and that I needed to call AAA car care in which I did multiple times and they claim they know nothing about the incident. All in all, I had to buy a mirror and fix it myself and cover all charges because it is not February and got tired of being run around in circles. Terrible car wash and terrible management/customer service. read more

Great car wash, for 20$ unlimited washes (up to one daily)

Never thought I'd post a review about carwashes, but I am thoroughly impressed! I decided to check it out on a whim, paid for their $18 premium wash and was happy with the results. Aside from that, they had excellent costumer service! I forgot I had 4 chairs and a bike in the bed of my truck when I pulled in. The guy working helped take the bike out and put it on their bike rack, when my wash was over he came and put it back in for me. The lady that was working was also very friendly. After you wash your vehicle there is free to use microfiber cloths and glass cleaner. Their vacuums work wonderfully, and the mat cleaner was a plus! I came with a TON of sand on my mats and the cleaner did an excellent job. I'm considering purchasing the membership even though I live quite a bit away! read more

severely disappointe. No communication except yelling at me to put my car in neutral. Went through the washing area and I could have done a $7 wash at the gas station for the same results. I pain $20 for very little. read more

I signed up for one of their monthly wash plans and am pleased with it. I really wish they opened before 9:00. They are missing out on a lot a morning commuter customers. read more

Well let's just say the bugs and dirt that were on my car when I arrived at the car wash also left with me when I departed. Glad I chose the cheaper option because if I would have paid any more for a lack luster car wash, I would have been annoyed with myself. I'm giving 2 stars because this is the only car wash in the area that is allowing customers to use the vacuum cleaners at this time. read more

Great car wash! Car was completely cleaned. Usually there might be one or two spots not quite cleaned. But my car looks great. The vacuums have awesome suction, got all of the dog hair. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Tried to find a phone number but have not been able to do so. I have been using Fins since they opened. Have been happy with washes until today, when going through it seemed like we were moving MUCH faster that any other time I had my car washed. When I got out of my care and inspected, it was not as clean as the previous washes. I do not know why they spead up the wash cycle, but if continues at the same speed next time, I'll have to go back to my previous car wash. read more

My BMW was only one week old. My first time through Fins Car Wash on Savannah Hwy (West Ashley) Charleston, SC ended up COMPLETELY scratching the hell out of my hood, scratched my trunk lid, and scratched the rear passenger door. UNACCEPTABLE for a AAA owned and operated car wash! I expected a AAA car wash to be no less than "better than most". I have already had to file a claim to repair the scratches, and I will be cancelling my Car Wash membership immediately! BE WARNED! NOT SAFE FOR ALL CARS! read more

It's 8:20 and they are still not open. Trying to get to work as an Uber driver and need to clean my car after a busy Saturday night. This is costing me money now. Also the lot is always full of mud and mosquitos. Not how I want to get in my clean car. read more
