Aside from their price is being ridiculous and the car wash absolutely sucking because they don't do anything, but leave a film on your windshield and leave the inside of your car they always find a way to up charge you for something when you're a woman, but when you bring a man with you miraculously the things that they try to charge you for Dan don't come up when you have a man present. When you spend $700 you should get a free internal and external car wash not this basic crap that they give you and I'm coming inside my car and it's absolutely filthy with footprints on the seats read more

Car Wash is ok but beware of the shop. If you go there for an inspection sticker they will find something wrong with your vehicle in order to get you to spend money. On top of that they will remove the sticker without your consent so if you do not do the repair you drive out of there without an inspection sticker. CROOKS! read more

Drove 30 mins to come here instead of local. Paid $40 for the Hambletonian. Dashboard still had dust, trunk kinda vacuumed , missed dirt on multiple parts. Should have just gotten the basic! Save your money! read more

I got the Wash for $22.98. I still had snow on my vehicle. They don't actually vacuum the vehicle. They pretend too but they just blow around the dirt. I found my dash still had dust. My front windshield had not been cleaned. The old Lady behind the counter was not pleasant after I showed her that my vehicle had snow on it. They actually have a car wash called snow removal $11.99 and I paid for the Higher car wash and still had snow on my vehicle. I will never go there again! read more

Over 1k in damage they could care less and rather argue with a customer been coming since day 1 and with 4 cars every week....never see me again had opportunity to make it right and refused....would rather be confrontational..taking my business elsewhere.. parked my vehicle a position opposite of the exit..every single time I go im facing exit. Had to make giant u-turn had powerwasher in middle of parking lot wasn't in field of view ...they rather argue with you than make it right..I deal with customers and the public im always certain to make a bad situation right- read more

Don't go here for an inspection unless you want to be failed just because the workers don't know how to use tint reading equipment. They attempted to fail our 8 year old car that has nothing BUT factory-installed windows on it. We went to another shop, and they passed it (because it DOESN'T have tints) just fine. Went back to this one to show them, and they insist they are correct. (They are not.) The workers at this shop are committing a fundamental error when performing inspections because they're reading their tint meter incorrectly. They're saying the tint meter has to say 70% or higher in order to pass, and said our windshield was just over 30%, but our windows are literally clear, so this makes ZERO sense because if they are saying the tint meter reads the amount of light being BLOCKED, so 70% the way they're interpreting it would mean it'd be ridiculously dark-- which ours are NOT. They insist that a car with no visible tint does not pass (again, FACTORY installed windows), despite the clear verbiage on the DMV website AND the obvious misread of their equipment. They are mixing up the idea of 70% light passing through and 70% light blockage and not using any amount of common sense to figure out what they're doing wrong. Their employees, AND their manager currently on deck, need basic retraining and maybe a primer in humility. EDITED TO ADD Interestingly, the owner or some company representative has responded to my Google review with the exact excerpt from the DMV code that the workers clearly did not understand. Bottom line: our factory installed windshield allows 70+% of light through. We do not have added tints on the windshield of this 8 year old standard configuration vehicle. These people are either incompetent or liars. read more

They don't actually vacuum the car . They pretend too but they just blow around the dirt . I found all the crumbs and a plastic cup in the back seat that was blown around . The guy was annoyed my side mirror wouldn't push in so he had to yellow tag it . There was water also inside the doors of the car because they splashed water in it before it went into car wash . read more

Overpriced. Rude. This was at one point an excellent car wash. Big kahuna at the start of the wash rudely said you gotta pay first and then i got out. Walk into the register. That is why i am no longer coming back. No tact. Higher priced. And to have the brass balls to have a tip jar at the end? Get outta here. This isn't beverly hills read more

Great place, I manage fleet maintenance for a local business and we bring all of our auto needs here. Matt the service manager(believe that is his title) is wonderful and professional. I had brought my personal car here for an inspection, and an exhaust sensor got damaged on the wheel guard around the oil change pit(lowered Volkswagen), I only realized this after leaving and the CEL came on. I brought back my vehicle and Matt assured me it would be fixed as soon as the replacement part arrived. I got my car back and was told it was on the house after the connector was re-pinned. I have nothing but great things to say about this place! Thank you for your continued professional and excellent service!! They also do one hell of a good car wash! read more

I just spent $158 for a 16 minute car wash. I purchased a hand wax and Hambletonian clean, which promised my seat would be washed and the car would be showroom clean. Don't do it! My car was already very clean inside, I was hoping they would clean it to a higher level given the expense. NO! I immediately inspected my car and was sadly disappointed, but they told me that 4 men worked on the car and got the job done super fast. What a lie! Even the people inside at the counter said there was no chance my car was done. But they were "wrong." I left the Auto Spa disappointed and went immediately across the street to the CVS to by cleaning supplies to do the job properly. I have been driving across Orange County for years to go to Hambletonian Auto Spa. I will never do so again. read more

Always great service here. Never a hastle. I moved down to the city ten yrs ago and I still come back up here to get my car done. This time getting an oil change too. Remember to do the change first before you do the cleaning. Not the other way around. Cute shop. Nice waiting area. No stress and car comes out squeaky clean. read more

Whatever was used on my car seats at my detailing left a whitish haze in spots on two of my back seats. I brought the car back and they re-wiped the seats, which looked ok when I left but the next day, after the seats dried, the haze came back. These seats are never used so I was annoyed when I was told it happens with wear. The rest of the detail work was wonderful but I don't know if I will be returning. read more

Manny the person who greeted me guided me to the right level of servicing, and advised me against having my tires balanced that I thought I needed. Nice to see professionalism over sales. My truck is used as a truck and it needed a much needed cleaning inside,not just vacuuming. This including washing the mats. All was done much better and quicker than I could have done myself. Well done Hambletonian. read more

Spent $130 on an oil change that included a rain check for a car wash. Returned 32 days after the oil change and they charged me for the car wash even after talking to the manager who pointed out I needed the car wash within 30 days. I do understand that, but to me that's very poor customer service. read more

Horrible service.. lazy workers.. expect to have more things wrong with your car then when you went in...

Went today for an oil change. The service area of Hambletonian is always a 5 star experience. I am giving a 3 star rating because their car wash side failed again. I am, once again, at home re-doing my streaky windows. My own fault, as I said "yes" to the car wash after the oil change. At least it's only the windows I have to clean. Again. read more

Came in for an auto inspection after being referred. Waited over 45 minutes before anyone came over (first car in line the whole time) the guy came over and said "what do you want" and seemed irritated to be there. Asked for an inspection and car wash/ vacuum and was told to get out of my car. The lady inside was equally as rude and when told her I should be paying for a car wash also she said they don't do that and I have to bring my car over and wait in line again to get it done. When calling this morning to see if I needed an appointment and estimated time I was told you will find out when you get here. I will not be going back and do not recommend. Also the inspection sticker was out on without them scraping off all the old Gio and residue from the previous one read more

Hambletonian Auto Spa - Didn't even scrape off old goo before putting on new sticker. Careless work - Auto Detailing Near Me - Chester, New York

I never thought I would leave a review for a car wash but holy moly did they do an amazing job!!!! Unfortunately my car was riddled with goldfish and sticky so no pictures for my own self preservation but my car came out as if it had just been purchased. This car was immaculately cleaned including cup holders in between seats best $65 I have spent In awhile. This car wash clearly has a loyal following every time I drive by it's busy. Definitely worth the trip read more

Best car wash ever!! Been going long time! They are amazing! The only car wash I will go to! They do it all

Don't ever get your car repaired here they use the cheapest parts and once your there they milk you for every little thing and there prices aren't cheap read more

"Holy Shitballs Batman!" "Holy Shit" is exactly what my expression was when I got my small SUV back after paying for the Hambletonian package which appeared to be the most expensive car wash package available based on prices posted. While I was hesitant to spend four times the cost of a standard car wash I decided to splurge and take a risk because I've heard SO much buzz about this place. Let me tell you I was NOT disappointed, I was actually flabbergasted at how clean my wheels came out. Granted I have some minor stubborn stains on the body of my SUV that probably require full detailing but I also take that bad boy into the heart of the Catskills over some unpleasant terrain for my adventurous hikes. Having not washed it in several months I will say the SUV was pretty filthy for my standards (friends would say I probably had the cleanest dirtiest SUV they've seen). Needless to say I did have a coffee stain on my front passenger floor mat that has been there for YEARS! I basically had given up on trying to use chemicals to remove that several year old coffee stain. When I got in my SUV and saw that coffee stain gone I nearly fainted! I had tried everything to get that thing out but whatever the staff did at this car wash got that stain out instantly AND fully! I almost wanted to complain that I was attached to that stain and wanted it back but seeing that they got it out literally had me speechless! The staff has all kinds of tools at their disposal for cleaning your vehicle in a flash. I saw an attendant using some pressurized power spray deodorizer all over my dashboard and the end result was all those dust particles removed from the crevices. Really amazing job at this place in haste fashion because it was FAST! If they did an absolutely amazing job on their best car wash package rushing to get all those cars completed, I can only imagine how amazing my vehicle would have been with a FULL detailing where they can take their time! Next time I'm in I'll treat my SUV to some headlamp restoration which this place also does for roughly $35 depending on vehicle type and severity of the headlamp damage. For the standard messy vehicle this place is FREAKING AMAZING! I can't express how shocked and amazed I am from the bang up job they did. Now if you are an outright slob and your vehicle is so filthy it should just be scrapped, you really have no right to complain if they can't elbow grease your dashboard clean at the speed they need to work to satisfy all the customers in the queue. In that instance you really should (1) stop being a slob and (2) don't be a cheapskate and treat your vehicle to a FULL detailing deep cleaning if it requires the deep cleaning to remove that hot dog stuck in the seat crevices from 3 years ago. Just sayin' read more

Inspection done. Not crazy about their upselling. Needed a license plate light bulb. They charged for the inspection, bulb and $5. To put in the bulb. Kind of high labor to screw in a bulb! read more

This is the best car wash in the area. They do a good job. There a little pricey. I bring both of my cars here. Place gets packed on weekends. read more

Have had both an oil change and car wash done, repeat customer I am with their service and quality. Price is right as well.

Whatever you do, don't go here. It's overpriced for one. However, I was willing to pay the extra amount because they were the only decent car wash in this area that stays open until 6 PM so that way you have a chance to get your vehicle washed after you get out of work. But when you consistently pull up at six minutes before closing seven minutes before closing or nine minutes before closing on multiple days and they had the barrels, pulled out the block, the driveway and the door shut and all the guys to stand around going. nope, we're close. Nope, we're close I just can't afford to pay money for a customer service that you can't experience. read more

Terrible customer service and ridiculous pricing . Only car wash in town so they think they can charge or do whatever they wish.

Their car wash will destroy your tire. 1 mile after leaving the car wash the tire on the driver side blew out. They refuse to accept responsibility. Avoid these guys at all costs. read more

Went yesterday and got the place full service wash. I spilt some water in the cup holder and asked if they could wipe it up. No one else has been in the car and basically spotless, just really wanted driver side mat vacuumed, dash wipe down and windows cleaned. I wound up with wet rear bumper, windows (which I had to go over) and cup holder with the water I had specifically asked if they would wipe it up. They didn't have to do anything to the back seat area at all. For such an easy clean up, I think $18.50 plus tip is outrageously overpriced. Not sure if I will use them again. read more

They charged me $166 for an oil change the next time I went so I'm updating my review to say these people are total rip off artists and charged me more than double what I have ever paid for an oil change anywhere. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this rip off joint. I am so sorry I ever reviewed them positively. If you don't believe me try it and see what happens. They can say whatever they want. If you want to pay $40 for wipers go here. If you want to pay $90 for an oil change go here. If you want someone to just decide what services and oil change you want based on your previous choices and don't ask you, go here. (Doctor, why did you operate on me, I was fine and it cost me $10,000? Doctor: that's what we did last time, so we just did it again). If you want to go to a place that doesn't consider you as the customer at all and only cares about money - go here. Otherwise, go anywhere else! Seriously. read more

I asked the attendant for a "win" car wash, was charged for the more expensive "Hambletonian" and they didn't even vacuum my trunk. When I complained told me I had twenty four hours to get my trunk vacuumed. A complete waste of time and cash money. read more

Mostly, I am fine with this place. The service center has been spot on every time I needed. I don't feel pressured or cheated by the crew, they always explain in details and make me feel comfortable before making my decision. The car wash, on the other hand, is fair, not exceptional on my view, specially inside car jobs like vacuum and wipe out dust. The price seems to be a tad on the higher note, which is why I have a higher expectation on the quality of the job. Staff has been always a pleasure to deal with, so all in all, I would recommend this place. read more

I would like to let you know if I thought that I got poor service or they done a bad job I'm not shy to say so, HOWEVER HAMBLETONIAN DID A GREAT JOB. My 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sahara looks like New...! Isaias and the other young men did a fantastic job and were extremely professional and took pride in their work. I highly recommend these gents for a great job. Regards JH read more

Got the inside of my truck cleaned, and only the inside. was charged 65$ and it looks absolutely terrible. The people didn't wash any compartments nothing. terrible service. Complete rip-off. better going to Harriman then here. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. The manager is rude and doesn't own up to the mistakes of the employees. I'd rather take the trip to goshen and wash my car by hand than step foot back in this establishment. read more

Don't appreciate the fact that they are always trying to upsell me on services and products that I don't really need. Obviously never heard of the boy who cried wolf. If every time I go there you tell me that my car needs something extra, when I know it doesn't, I am never going to take you seriously. I prefer getting my car service by a mechanic where trust is established first. read more

Had the works done to my car! and wonderful job! My cloth seats stain easily, a drip of water and once it's dried there a spot! Plus my dog is always in the car and they got both things out and the car looked better then the day I brought it home (new to me, not brand new!) read more

Not as good as it use to be. I'm a monthly customer but the car was still dirty after the wash today. The back tailgate hardly looked like it was washed. When I pointed it out they just wiped it down dry, essentially just grinding the dirt into the paint. I've noticed the staff taking more and more short cuts. In the past they would wash down the front and rear with a brush to get the heavy dirt off, recently they skip it more times than not. Maybe it's time to look for another place. read more

Quality has dropped significantly. I paid for the top end cleaning and did not get what I paid for. Dust still on the dash board, mud still on my seats and salt residue still on the outside of my car. I'm finding another car wash until quality improves. read more

Their work has definitely declined. They have damaged a few cars of mine. I understand that accidents happen, however, when you try to hide broken parts from the customer and then play stupid when shown the parts that they broke, that is just malice. read more

This auto spa has the best customer care ever. I love the family feel and the store with all of its nick nacks and novelty items are awesome and well priced. The attendants are super courteous and professional. They check up with about everything so you learn about your car and the services they have for you. My son plays with the little toy table while we wait in front of the fire place watching tv. Yeah, more than just an oil change there. read more
