    My car stuck in the parking lot after they destroyed my tire
    Stanley K.

    This place is a zero star establishment where from reading the reviews and my own experience they damaged your car on purpose and then claim no liability. My car was damaged. They broke my valve. I had no spare tire and I had to call for help that Help cost me $250 and flagship took no liability. This is a regular thing from them from reading the refuse if you love your car, you will not go to flagship flagship purposely tears of your vehicle. This little neck Turnpike one is the worst one in Virginia and their review says it all they tap your car intentionally and then leave you with the liability. Don't take your car there. I don't know if I mentioned it but something in that car wash broke my tire valve and left me stranded as they closed up Shop and everybody went home. I was there for two hours waiting for somebody to come help. not only am I not using this flagship again, but I'm gonna stop using flagship altogether because they are very unprofessional. It teaches me damaged people vehicles. This is not the first time my vehicle was damaged at a flagship car wash so they're a wrap for me. What I hate about you as they make you give them a star when he deserves zero stars.

    Let's goooooo!

    They have remodeled and turned into a 100% self service car wash that is newer & nice & clean. The girl at the cashier box where you select & pay was very nice & helpful but I didn't see a name to give her a shout out. I went on 4/10/24 @5:46pm if that helps the business figure her out. The layout is kind of weird and it's really tricky to get a spot for the vacuuming, and there's nowhere to wait if all the vacuum stations are full. There are signs posts everywhere that there is a 15 minute time limit, but that is not enforced. At the vacuuming station there is supposed to be clean towels for you to use to dry off your vehicle but sadly my station had none. The good news is the vacuums are free.

    Valve them that got ripped off from the conveyor belt
    Shane B.

    I brought my brand-new car to this car wash, and it was a complete disaster. As soon as my car entered the conveyor belt, my tire pressure alarm went off, and I could feel something was wrong. After exiting, I found my front driver-side tire completely flat. The conveyor belt had ripped off the valve stem. When I reported the issue to a worker, they initially tried to blame a speed bump at the entrance. After showing them the valve stem damage, they eventually found the ripped-off valve inside the wash but still refused to take responsibility. I had to wait over an hour for a supervisor, who pointed to a sign listing things they "aren't responsible for" and made irrelevant claims about my car having a "large hubcap" (it doesn't). They refused to address the damage, said their insurance would contact me, and never followed up. On top of that, my car was scratched by the tire cleaner's hard bristles at the end of the wash. I had to arrange for a truck to replace the tire and pay for the valve stem repair myself. To this day, I haven't been contacted by their insurance or the manager. This location is unsafe, unprofessional, and clearly doesn't care about their customers.

    AWFUL EVERYTHING. I wonder if they get lawsuits every now and then just from the greasy floors. The entry/exit area is not walkable. I almost slipped twice and I had sneakers on. The most awful thing are the workers. They don't have to do diddly squat but when I came through, a group of girls were giggling and not paying any attention to customers coming through. There's always a person who's supposed to guide rearing the wheel onto the belt correctly. They're lucky my car doesn't have any visible damage to the wheels because the girl led me wrong and it GOT STUCK ON THE BELT. She told me to put the car in neutral- WELL, IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I don't say this lightly but what an absolute idiot. How hard could this be?? Never going back. I went because I have the monthly membership and I was in Annandale visiting a friend. Flagships are rarely good- this one takes the cake for worst station amongst all of them.

    I will say that they do a decent job. In fact they are better than some of their competitors. It can get really busy at this location. A lot of it is Annandale has a high population density. Little River Turnpike can be headache inducing. That's the nature of the beast. As for price, it is quite expensive. On a plus note your ride will look great after this. As for the memberships, for those into cars or using them professionally, that probably makes sense. My guess is quite a few have that. The employees here are friendly and efficient. Best bet is to go on a weekday. Unfortunately the birds will always aim afterwards, but that's also what happens when you get your car cleaned up.

    10/10/20 Wow, with the smartass remarks  my got from one of the employees,  we will go elsewhere.
    John F.

    10/10/20 We haven't been here 3 minutes when my wife asked one of the employees here a question on where to park when she got a smartass remark back. All the employees seem to be Hispanic and my wife was speaking in her native language. I couldn't hear everything that was said. This place is only two stars on Yelp and my wife says Google only gave this place two stars. If you treat your customers rudely this place deserves to go out of business. We will go elsewhere.

    Stopped here yesterday to get my car cleaned and my car literally looks the same. I feel like they just ran water over it and dried it. Such a waste of money. Even the inside was still dirty. First and last time going here.

We paid $656, which feels completely overpriced for the quality of work delivered. I was told a single car usually takes 3 to 5 hours; however, the detailer spent only 5 hours total on both vehicles. If you expect a thorough cleaning and shampooing, look elsewhere. My cars were returned with noticeable mess and stains left behind. My McDonald fries is still in the gap between seat and console. Car hood still has some tree sap. The only positive was their ability to remove scratches. They are clearly skilled at that but the rest of the job was below average . Given the low quality of the delivery, I have no idea how this place has such high reviews. It was a very disappointing experience. I'll gladly go back to my regular in-person car wash, where I get much better results for $200 for both cars.

I brought in…read moreour BMW X6 last year for a ceramic coating, and they completely knocked it out of the park. The attention to detail is next level--every inch of the car was treated with care. The wheels and tires looked brand new, the interior was spotless, and the finish on the exterior was flawless. What really sets them apart is consistency. Every time I go back, they deliver that same "new car" look, feel, and even smell. It's honestly addictive. I've gotten so many compliments on how good my car looks, inside and out. They also hooked me up with a lifetime discount on detailing packages, which means I'm a regular now--and happily so. A quick tip for first-timers: they're located on the bottom level of a parking garage, so you'll need to grab a ticket to enter. Don't worry though--the team will take care of letting you out so you won't be charged for parking. If you're looking for a detailer that truly cares about their work and consistently delivers amazing results, Capitol Shine is it. Five stars all the way.

Very thorough, and while their price is high it's in line with the area. The issue I had was with their tint jobs. I've had 5 vehicles tinted at Capitol Shine, and while the first 4 were absolutely flawless, the 5th one had to be redone *three* separate times for major issues -- I'm not talking about a little speck of dust here or there, but major contamination. The final time they tinted the last vehicle, they ended up damaging the leather in the car by letting the tinting spray sit on the leather under the window for too long. To their credit, they apologized and refunded me for the tint job -- but I still had to go and have the leather replaced, which was a major pain in the ass. So, if you're looking for detailing - A+ work. If you're looking for tinting, be careful.

The entire bike looks showroom ready. The attention to detail is clear in every inch. See the video and pics I posted. I am beyond satisfied and would highly recommend this service to anyone who truly cares about their motorcycle. The owner, Noah, is very personable and customer-oriented.

The mess was only inside the car and required interior cleaning only. They charged me $495 just for interior cleaning, which is completely unreasonable and far above normal market prices for this type of service. I feel like they took advantage of the situation and overcharged me simply because I needed urgent cleaning to continue working. I strongly believe this is not honest business practice and feels like a scam. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone, especially rideshare drivers who are already losing income when situations like this happen. Be very careful before agreeing to any service here -- always ask for written pricing upfront.
