The carwash cracked my windshield, badly. It was not cracked when I went in, and when I came out, there was a huge crack from top to bottom. The manager said his "opinion" was that it was cracked before I went in. Basically called me a liar, and said they wouldn't do anything to help me. He said he pays too much i insurance to file a claim, and referred to me as a Tom Dick and Harry and how he can't just go paying for damage his car wash did. read more

A decent facility to self care wash, my biggest issue is that "stop" mode continued to charge you. So my self wash ended up being $45... At that point I might as well pay someone to hand wash my car. Not a good value. read more

This place has gotten expensive for self wash. $3.50 for 4 minutes and then each quarter only gets you 20 second. And now they charge for the vacuum's. Too much money!!!! read more

Really great customer service at this car wash. The other location is toucheless and while this one isn't, I prefer it it for my Subaru. Really good value particularly if it isn't too busy. read more

I just came here after a bad drive thru car wash at Tommy's. I enjoyed the fact that this was a self service wash bc I was able to pressure wash my mats and I think the price was very fair! Make sure to bring your own towels to dry your car. read more

I don't like to take my car in drive-thru car washes (bad experience with scratches) which means if I'm not washing my car at home, I need a drive up car wash bays... and the machines often take quarters only. Mr Sharky's bays accepts debit/credit cards! It charges by the minute. I can wash my entire car, tires, and dry it for under $10, all charged to my debit card. I love it! They're also offering unlimited free vacuum services right now. Note: There is a small silver button (smaller than a dime) at the card machine that you MUST press to stop the transaction. Also, your bank may show a temporary hold for $10, but rest assured you will only be charged the amount you spent. Example: I spent $6.50 last time I was there, my bank showed a hold for $10, but a few days later it updated to $6.50. Don't panic if you see a $10 hold! read more

The attendant does a GREAT job with sprayer, spray brush, and scrubber, before the car runs through the auto wash. I've never seen someone give as much care like this guy. It was as if it was his car. I will never go anywhere else again. GREAT VALUE!!! read more

I came here during my lunch hour for a car wash and vacuum. I paid cash and overall a good job. I was unaware that someone would prewash the car and dry it. I luckily had tip money with me. I did notice by the bottom of my hatchback it was still dirty after I left. Overall the car wash and the attendant did a good job. read more

This is a self serve as well as an auto wash. The staff spends a great amount of detail on your car before you even go through the wash.. I was not expecting that! They even dry off your entire car for you after the wash... the self serve & vacuum services are also perfect. This is hands down my favorite & it's affordable! Ray the manager was very friendly & his staff are hard workers. read more

Such a great little car wash. The guy washed and dried our car with great care! And he was so nice. Felt bad for him because he really took his time doing a great job and it was soooo hot outside. I'd go there again! read more

It gives you plenty of space to move around your vehicle to get it clean. Also, the vacuums give you a little time for free if you have a little spill, you need to get up. The location was clean, and even though it was busy, it was easy to get into a bay and get my ride all cleaned up. read more

Nice and fast car wash with a lot of space to vacuum afterwards. Only giving 4 stars because I haven't had a perfect wash after leaving but was still satisfied with the job done! read more

We got two cars pretty muddy and used Shark's high pressure to knock the chunks off. Worked great for me on both rides. We got two cars pretty muddy and used Shark's high pressure to knock the chunks off. Worked great for me on both rides. read more

Very quick and clean establishment. I almost go everyday since it's so close to my home and I always leave satisfied with my experience here! read more

Always positive and quick to get your car in and out. The towel dry at the end really makes this place worth it. DJ is always smiling and remembers regulars. You can't beat the price for the service that's provided. I'll be coming back for sure to see these guys. read more

Sometimes when automatic car washes can't do the job, you gotta do it yourself. Nice place to come give your car a thorough cleaning. If that's not your thing, they have automatic car wash services too. I did the self service hand wash option and recommend bringing quarters and paying for the max time available. This way you get enough time to go through the cycles. Just turn the knob towards which option you want on the menu and start cleaning. There's high pressure rinse, soap, gloss, etc. I believe it's $2.50 for 4 minutes, $10 for 16 minutes. Wear sandals and clothes you don't care much about because you'll get wet. Each bay was fairly clean and there are dry off/ vacuum areas after you finish. read more

Great service, great value, definitely a great spot to get your car cleaned. They hand wash and hand dry your car! They even have complimentary vacuums to clean the inside of your vehicle too. read more

AVOID this and other Mr. Sharky's coin-op car washes as they use the lowest-grade soap detergent, wax, as well as other key ingredients that give you the poorest wash--let alone, forcing you to spend more time (thus money) on each wash, by a factor of 50% more! Coin-op car washes are lucrative businesses so it doesn't require that much more investment to procure even a mid-to-high-grade wash solutions to produce a decent wash. However, this owner elected to use the lowest grade (i.e. cheapest) solutions that take more time and effort to remove even the simplest dirt and grimes; thus, forcing you to spend more time to get a below-par wash. For reference, I've been using this car wash for 15+ years but noticed the quality's been progressively (and persistently) deteriorating since about 3-4 years ago. So it's not relative to one wash-bay. read more

Tucked away on 620 just off the madly crowded intersection of Anderson Mill is Mr. Sharky's Car Wash, with its brightly colored bays and vacuums and a name I can't figure out. If you like to wash your car or boat yourself, there are a number of large bays to accommodate you. If you'd rather not get your feet and everything else wet, the drive through is a good option. Washes range from the $8 basic to the $13 deluxe. I usually get the $9 wash and wax, which covers all the basics and then some. Helpers who work there will meet you at the drive through entrance and pretreat your car, then meet you on the other end and dry it off. They gratefully accept tips, and the machines at the entrance take credit cards. Vacuums are do it yourself and are always free! I like to vacuum first and throw my trash away before heading through the wash, so I don't get someone's overspray drifting from a nearby bay. So much easier and cheaper than the formal car washes, because I don't have to unload my valuables and wait in a snack-filled lobby, where I might buy stuff. And in the end it looks just as good. I can clean the dash and windows myself, probably even better. read more

First of all I love the way the guys soap up and wash down the car before you take it through the wash. Then when you come out the other side of the wash they even hand dry it for you! Second I really like the monthly packages they offer. This has saved me a bunch of money and time. Great service guys! read more

It's a car wash. Nothing special. $2.75 for 4 minutes. Car wash bays are pretty workable. Vacuums are hit or miss depending on which one you park at. Self car wash is nice during the day, 2 workers will wait for you at the end of the tunnel to hand dry your vehicle. read more

I love this place. Great customer service and my car came out shiny and clean. The vacuum situation was a little annoying though. Only one machine takes credit cards. read more

Honestly doesn't even deserve 1 Star. I have been to my fair share of do it yourself car washes and this was by far the worst I've ever been to. The maintenance on this place is obviously not kept up. The raggedy foaming brush did nothing but add more dirt to my car. The high pressure drying tool had absolutely no pressure to it. $2.75 cents per 4 minutes doesn't even seem to be true. Spent the $10 limit for what seemed like no time at all only to end with a car where extra dirt was just spread around. Biggest waste of money I can think of. So if you like to just throw away cash, this is the place to go. Definitely will not be using this place again and I advise anyone else to do the same. read more

Great 'do it yourself' car wash. I've never used their drive through to be honest but it seems great.

This is the best manual wash around, why is it not at the top of the search algorithms? Solid pressure, clean, credit card readers, horse hair brushes... read more

So I sent the owners an email asking them why I was charged $10 on my credit card free wash that only showed about six dollars and change I was done. Never got a reply, so now you got a one star review. Customer service is poor, and I'm pretty sure by the time I got there the place was awesome. I will never go here again. read more

I was charged $10 on my credit card, but the meter showed $8. There was no foam in the pre-soak. There was minimal soap in the wash gun. There was minimal soap from the wheel brush. My truck has hard water spots and I used the spotless rinse. The STOP button had been scratched off, so I had to guess where it was (as the meter rolled on). This place is a joke. Yelp should have a negative star option. read more

Went to was my car today after my 2,200 mile drive from Oregon. My car was covered in dead bugs and dirt from the trip but the brush got it all off and the different rises helped too. Will definitely be back to this car was as it was nice and clean and well priced too. read more

For a limited time, to vacuum is on the house. I got the drive thru works wash, not knowing that it came with a hand rinse and hand towel drying. That was a nice surprise. Very clean and very professional staff. read more

Nice, clean car wash. Lots of bins so can always get in. Also offers specials from time to time, like free vacuums. Bonus. Oh, also have a dry through wash if you're not the DIY type of person - or maybe just in a rush - nobody's judging here. :) read more

Tried out their ultimate wash ($13, although I had $7 off from a coupon sent home). I regret not just taking the free $7 wash instead. I'll start off by saying my car was pretty dirty, lots of visible dirt and some bird poop on the top, although not awful. I knew my tires were pretty dirty too, which is why I opted for the priciest wash. The two folks working there did a prewash on the car, before I went in the drive through, and afterwards, dried the car off. Before I left, I asked if that was it, and they said yes, so I was on my way. Upon inspecting the car afterwards, I noticed that the car wasn't totally clean. There were some spots that needed some tough love, but I wouldn't expect it from a drive through wash, so that's fine. The tires though, specifically, the inner portion of the rim, was still super dirty, which I would not have expected from the ultimate wash, since one of the selling points was "tire blaster". Presumably, that dirt would've been blasted off, but no. In fact, I'm not sure I got any of the benefits of the ultimate wash at all (compared to the standard $7 wash). Did I not understand the extras, or did they mistakenly say I was done when they had not yet finished? Don't know, but I'm disappointed either way. I think if I had gotten the wash I did, but for the $7 price, I'd be satisfied, and this would be a 4 star review, but sadly, it's gonna have to be 3 stars. read more

This is a great place to get your car looking spotless. The management is well organized and also really friendly. It's my first time here and it won't be my last time. I think I'm gonna bring my girls car here tomorrow as well. Thanks sharky's!!! read more

Mr Sharky's Car Wash - Working on my car! - Car Wash Near Me - Austin, Texas

I visited Mr. Sharky's before 10 on a Sunday morning, which seemed ideal. Plenty of bays and vacuums available. Attendant was friendly and offered assistance. Reminders all over reminding people not to be jerks (no loud music, dumping stuff down the drain is a federal offense, etc.) Environment was great, didn't have trash all over or anything like that. Mr. Sharky's is easy to get to, too! Equipment worked great, and got my car squeaky clean (after a 1600 mile trip that brought salt from MN and dirt from all seven states we traveled through.) I used the self-serve and put about $8 worth of quarters in, which gave me plenty of time for tire cleaning, general washing and a thorough rinse. Not a fan of the mat clips, though, they kind of smoosh the edges of my mats a bit much for my comfort. The dryer feature on the self-service is not very useful but the power wash and rinse were just great. Vending machines sell Armor All wipes, towels, etc. if you need a little something. I like the free vacuum cleaners and they work MUCH better than the free one at my apartment complex. read more

In a word: Consistent. I've taken my 2012 Mini Cooper S and my 2014 Jeep Wrangler there and have never been disappointed by the wash quality. It's also nice to have someone dry my vehicle off at the end. Service always has a smile, and I'm generally in and out within 10 minutes or so. The machine taking payment at the beginning of the wash area seems to be very picky with what credit cards it accepts or how easily it reads the stripes. If the attendant isn't there to do the payment for me, I often have to open my door and lean out of the car to get the reader to cooperate. Not a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience. It might need servicing, or if possible update it to something that can accept Apple Pay or some kind of contactless payment. Other than that this is my go-to car wash in town. read more

I love that we have this local car wash company that's right around the corner from where we live. My mom and I decided to take her car here a few Sundays ago for a wash, and we loved not only the car wash itself (that was hand dried), but the staff is super nice and courteous. After we took my moms car to get washed, I took my husbands truck for a wash there too! They also have several washing days if you wanted to wash your car yourself, as well as shampooers and vacuums. It's all very well maintained and professional! read more

First visit here today as we are new to the neighborhood and experienced the BEST car wash experience ever. The gentleman power washed our car and then even hand dried it at the end. Extremely hard worker especially in the Texas heat. This will be our go to! read more

Great car wash and great people! I go to the North 620 location and use the automatic wash. Today, two extremely nice guys were there to care for my car. I didn't have any cash to tip so when I apologized for that, they couldn't be more gracious! This is the best drive-thru car wash I've found in Austin. The service is exceptional and I've never met any of the people there who didn't make my day a little sweeter. It's rare to find this level of customer service in any industry these days. read more

Great customer service! My car was extremely dirty from tree sap and bird poop I decided to get an express deluxe wash and a gentleman by the name of Ray was so kind as to ask me to go through the wash again because the first time hadn't done the job. I was very impressed and thankful for his willingness to show integrity and go above and beyond! I highly recommend Mr. Sharky's! read more

The car gets clean enough, not squeaky clean. Also they say they open at 8 but they don't. I've waited more than 15 minutes past 8 to be able to wash the car since the process is not automatic and needs an employee to turn the machine on. read more
