    I love their membership prices; best deal in town & the main reason why I'm still using their services. Their drying system is weak. My car is never dry and every time I open my door, water is leaking out underneath. My mirrors and windows are always wet; I have to get out of my car to towel dry them myself. And Im assuming their vacuuming is open to the public? Their vacuum actually works and sucks what it's intended for (take your mind out of the gutter) aka trash is what I'm referring to. There's a few times they would close because it was cloudy (with a chance of rain), but wasn't actually raining. Maybe call in advance before making a trip out there.

    $16 monthly, unlimited car wash! Heck ya

    Totally worth the $16 a month. I usually don't wash my car every other day or so, but after getting this deal, I could wash my car 5 times a day if I wanted. So once you get the unlimited, they put a sticker on your driver windshield which scans when you drive up to the car wash. And the best part is there are two car wash attendant waiting to guide you through as well cleans your windshield, and you can tell them deep clean your rims too. After, you have the option to vacuum your car. One thing is, anyone can vacuum their car even without washing your car. The staffs their are pretty friendly to talk to if needed assistant. Gilly's car wash is awesome....almost forgot, they have a pet wash as well, right by the vacuum area. (although I don't have any pets) .

    Been to Gilly's carwash several times and I would say it's slightly better when comparing to Kelly Car Wash or Quick Quack. Of course with any quick car wash don't expect it to be spotless. Mine wasn't but it gets about 95% of the gunk out which I'm perfectly fine with for this level of service. But what I have issue with are the upgrades. I purchased the $16 package which includes tire shining and only 3/4 of my tires were shined. This is not the first time. Also, free vacuum is great but it's useless when the head is broken. I'm probably going to continue using their service but will probably do the basic package only. Its the best bang for your buck for a quick in and out.

    The dog wash is awesome! Warm water, warm air to dry your buddy

    Great car wash and we tried the dog wash today A+ all the car washers smile always! The unlimited package is a fabulous deal :)

    Stem valve - be careful the crew may not align you correctly when entering the wash.

    See all

    Hi, I've been to Gilly's car wash twice before. The first time, there was no one that pre-wiped the the front windshield and bumper of your car, whereas today, there was. Is there certain times I have to go to get that service? Thanks.

    I have always had a crew that used a brush to clean the front of the vehicle as well as the windshield prior to entering the carwash. It is usually two employees but on some occasions only one. Please try the car wash again. I don't think you'll be…

Quick Quack is definitely built for speed and convenience. I went pretty early in the morning and there were no lines at all, which made the whole process super quick. The place was very clean and well organized, and I also noticed they had lots of vacuum stations available afterward. One thing I appreciated was that they even had rags available if you wanted to do a quick spot dry or touch up a few areas yourself after the wash. That said, it's a very different experience compared to Monty's, which is still one of my personal favorites. At Monty's they prep the car before it goes through the wash and then hand dry it afterward, which gives it more of that "hand wash meets car wash" feel. Quick Quack feels more like a fast and efficient exterior wash, while Monty's focuses more on the little details. Helpful tip: if you want a quick in-and-out wash while you're already running errands, Quick Quack is a great option. If you're looking for more hands-on attention to detail, Monty's is still hard to beat. Final verdict: both worth visiting depending on what kind of wash you're in the mood for.

I personally don't come here after damage my received at the Elk Grove/Calvine location, that they refused to cover due to the age of my car. Which means I was stuck payong for the repairs.

There was however some issue with the track system we were on, as at one point when we were to turn the vehicle once on the track. We heard a loud thud type sound.

Afterwards, there were 2 staff out in the exit manually hand drying the cars with towels. They were friendly and quick. I pulled over to a parking lot to examine my car. I noticed some residues left behind. Overall, it was a good wash. Definitely saved me hours of doing it myself =P

    I get cars washed often due to having the use of a company vehicle and said company has a…read moremembership. After seeing the wash results and no damage to said vehicle, I purchased a membership for my own cars. That being said the value is great if you keep in mind that this is mainly for a soapy rinse with a light scrubbing. The real value comes from the side tire wall lubricant at the end of the wash. EG. I noticed old pigeon feces not entirely being washed off the vehicle. Plus, on truly leaving no water marks after air drying while leaving the facility. This is a time saver for me, kind of costly but if I get my car washed every week. Then not so bad. Better than my usual wait till it rains or planning to wash it only once a month. Do not expect some magic coating that will prevent dust, tree dust, pollen, or feces to magically roll off your vehicle after getting a car wash. Considering my hose water leaves streaks, making me have to towel dry my car after manually washing, I prefer this method now. These types of car washes only work best when you have guaranteed systems in check and place. Just a note, I do not like the membership log in options as I find it always leery to have a hard time cancelling or logging in to an online account. Keeping in this mind, register your car online. If the system is inputted as the wrong car getting washed... guess what's going to scratch your car? Guess who will have to take the hit? With the aforementioned problem, the managers here and or employees are spot on. There used to be an issue where the rear-view mirror was hit too hard and you would have to get out of your car to fix it. Over a course of multiple times going through with the same vehicle, said problem is fixed. This occurred to multiple different vehicles and on both sides of the rear-view mirrors. Understanding the aforementioned problem, you can be glad that employees are being monitored and or trained well. Cause a scratch on your car, just for getting a light rinse. Is a problem. When it matters, strict is good for the sake of other people's property.

There are always friendly workers and typically will wave a hello as you enter the gate or car wash. Being a member is ideal because if you think the car wash didn't do a good job the first time through, you can just go back into the car wash again. The only problem there is, on sunny "busy" days there are not enough vacuum stalls; so just plan accordingly (that means you're going to wait) until a stall opens up. BTW, I was ready to cancel my membership (wife's car was in the shop for two months after an accident) but after talking to one of their customer reps, a resolution was presented to me and I continue to be a valued member! FIVE STARS TO TODD, their customer service rep!!!

Fast forward to my monthly renewal and my brother convinced me to cancel Quick Quack and join their family plan instead. No regrets at all! Higher quality, lower cost! I will say Quick Quack was convenient because they have locations everywhere, while there's only one Monty's in the area. But honestly, it's worth it. I've only been through the wash once so far, but customer service immediately stood out. They had someone at the gate helping with check in, then another employee guiding drivers onto the track. I especially appreciated the mirror hanging above the tracks to help self guide. Quick Quack definitely did NOT have that, and sometimes the employees there weren't the best at guiding which caused scuffs on my wheels before. The employee guiding cars in also did a pre-spray with two different sprays and actually took his time walking all the way around the vehicle instead of only spraying the side he was standing on like Quick Quack usually did. It definitely helped get all the bug guts off. Then when exiting, they had two employees towel drying the car, one on each side. Loved that! Quick Quack definitely didn't offer that level of attention to detail, and my wheels have never looked shinier. So glad I made the switch! I'll try the self vacuuming next time and see how it fairs.

My girlfriend bought a 4 car wash package for her 2024 Tesla Y, and let me use the last cash wash of her package. So I brought my car down for an express car wash Sunday afternoon. I'm not familiar with how the process works since give never been to Monty's but a gentleman came out as I was at the selection system. And helped scan my barcode and move me forward to the next step. The next step has you pull up into their self propel system, which assists your car forward through the whole washing and cleaning process. Once my car of in the car wash, everything seemed fine until the brushing process that run up amd over your car. I noticed a light slapping sound on the outside of my car, and what appeared to be a rubber cable laying down over the passenger side window. And that's when I though the car wash had pulled off my windshield wipers some how. Even though they still laid flush against my windshield in their off position. So then I was thinking it was a cord from the express car wash slapping against my car, and was afraid it could get tangled up around my mirrors. Only to realized from the brushing step stopped that the runner strips were hanging down and off the side of my car, one being damaged and broken loose. While the other completely came off. Once I got to the two staff members waiting at the end to dry off my vehicle, the worker on the right supposedly popped it back in but the lady on the right couldn't get the strip back in all the way. They they asked it I wanted to fill out a damage claim, which I did, so I parked up front and was given a form. After filling it out I was told it woudl go to the manager of that location and I shoudl hear from them in a day or two...today is the 2nd day since the damage. And while driving home, one of the rubber strips coming came flew off and was lost. So the drive side piece is now one is completely, while the passenger side piece completely damaged and won't pop back in at the front. Overall: Extremely aggressive car washing system. Never had had an issue anywhere else until this past car wash. And I wouldn't come back unfortunately.
