I am pretty impressed with this car wash! It's a family owned business that has been in Cranston for ever since I can remember. Today (Thursday) I stopped in and it was not busy at all, I believe two other cars were ahead of me. My car was being tended to as soon as I pulled in. They took their time and were very detailed on both the inside and outside of my vehicle. I know there's usually a long line down Oaklawn Ave on the weekends and the day snow starts to melt after a snow storm. Based on other reviews I'm thinking when it gets busier, like any car wash, they have to move quick. One thing that I felt could be better were the windows as they were left a bit hazy however they removed all of my dogs wet nose marks. Also kudos to the vacuum crew, there's not a spec of fur left in my car! I will definitely return and it will be at a time similar to today. read more

Service staff can be a little courteous or friendly. The son was absolutely rude was speaking so loudly even if I was right next to him. Got a scratch when I came out of the car wash. Good detail job on the interior. Pricy for everything included especially for SUV. I would go here if nothing is open. They are shut down now so hopefully new management and location comes in and brings better service. read more

The wash bays do provide powerful jets of water, but don't provide spot remover, even though it's offered as a selection on the function dial. And, one of the vacuums has almost no power. It took the four minutes allotted for 75 cents to clean less than half of my vehicle's interior. Even after I removed the paper that somebody jammed in the nozzle (something this facility's owner or manager should have insured was done), there was still very little suction. But, the lot is mostly free of litter and the trash barrels were mostly empty. read more

I asked for the exterior & interior of my car to be cleaned, vacuumed as well as clean the rims and tires. There are blatant spots, that I pointed out on the doors (we all have kids we know they leave stickiness at times) and on the side of me center console, where I spilled a protein shake yesterday. They left it. The owner told me that if I wanted the doors and the center console wiped down, it was going to be an additional $20 because they don't wipe that they only armorall those areas. So for $40, parts of my car are still dirty but if I wanted to pay $60 it would have been done. The male owner also was speaking over me instead of allowing me to speak and finish my sentence (huge trigger point for me). These are the rudest, most condescending people I have ever met. read more

The owner/face of the business that greets as you pull is he a real jerk. With all the other car washers around now... go to one of them! Did a half assed job and charged $50 bucks. I feel bad for his employees read more

Nice place to get your Car washed... They do a good job, clean and wipe down your car when it comes out. The price is not too bad. They will Vacuum your car if you want. read more

The owner of this place a real beauty. Don't waste your money here. Everything is an upcharge, and you'll pay much more than their competitors who do a better job IMO. read more

This was an all around horrible experience. No one should be hollered at for asking questions about a service they're paying for. The attendant at the front me shake. When I spoke to the cashier about this, she was silent and had nothing to say. Do not go here. They have 0 patience for asking simple questions about services and pricing. Ridiculous! read more

The car wash itself is average the attention to detail poor for a price of 56 dollars. Been there before and was satisfied. Guess it depends who is working. !!!! read more

I went there yesterday did a terrible job. Also the man at the vacuum is rude. It was my first time there I thought you chose what you wanted inside so I started walking towards the inside and instead of him saying you have to get a slip he said GOING SOMEWHERE! read more

I paid $60 to do a full service and detailing of the inside and outside of my car. Saying they did a bad job would be good for them. They gave me my car the same way I gave it to them would use a little oil to make it look shiny over all the dirt. When I went back to ask them to redo it again, the owner got super aggressive and defensive, and told me that I was trespassing that I needed to leave his property immediately. Then he started being racist towards my mom who does not speak English. And ultimately call the police on us for just wanting him to redo the job. I wasn't even asking for a refund. read more

Customer service is atrocious, was just there and apparently I was blocking their driveway and someone came out waving their arms and yelling at me to get in the line, which wasn't possible. I've never been treated so poorly. Never again! read more

Just left Oaklawn Car Wash. Should have left right after the attendant started hollering at me. He kept pointing to the right so I started. to go. right. Evidently that's not what he wanted. That's when he became unhinged and started hollering. I think he needs anger management before he works with customers again. Doesn't even deserve the one star. read more

Went to Oaklawn car wash where I usually go to have my car washed. The owners, people inside at the cash register, are miserable. Always have been I just dealt with it . No more ! When I was there I accidentally spilled my drink on the floor. I apologized and the guy came from behind the desk and handed me a piece of paper towel with a disgusted look on his face! I asked if I could have another piece of paper towel so I could finish wiping it up and he said, " no I need those for here." You shouldn't be working with the public. You've lost at least 2 customers today and they'll be more! so if you have any extra paper towels I guess Oaklawn car wash can use them! read more

I paid $25 to have my car cleaned and my grand children could have done a better job for a lot less than that. For one thing you get there and they try to upsell you on everything. I got the super wash for $18 had to pay extra for my SUV and extra for this and extra for that and it turned out to be $25. When I walked over to my car when they were done they let had left the driver's door open and I could see that they had not vacuumed under the front seat. In front of the front seat was not clean as well. The driver's side door had not been wiped down or dusted. Where they had dusted on the dashboard they did a quickie job and left dust in the corners and had wiped dust down on to the the seat. They didn't even bother to clean out the cup holders on my console. It was just disappointing all around and I would never consider going back. read more

nickeled and dimed me. after $30 spent I drive away with unvacuumed cargo area and uncleaned center console. to get those cleaned was another $7!! wow!!! read more

horrible owner who had a compete meltdown when I arrived at 4:30 and they close at 5:00 PM. the source of his anger was dog hair in my car. This guy was swearing f this f that....this moron cleans cars for a living...what does he expect ...we are going to take in clean cars and still pay him $50 a wash. read more

I don't wash my car often but was in a lot of snow recently. I usually go to this car wash cause it's close and they do a good job usually. 20 dollars is a lot to me for a car wash but it's usually worth it. This time was very different. The guy outside asked if I wanted protectant on my console and I said sure but when I went to pay realized on the slip that they charge seperately for the console (7 dollars) and the dahsboard (5 dollars) so I asked if they could take it off which they did. However I was very upset to find after I had tipped they barely whipped down the inside of my car at all. The undercarage didn't look washed properly either as there was still ice. I feel like I paid for a full service wash for no reason. Do yourself a favor and go to Miracle Car Wash they're cheaper and you actually get your money's worth. read more

For $23 I expected a better job but hey what can you do. I guess they aren't going to "detail" the car. So not a bad deal considering you're in and out. However not very thorough. Still the employees were nice and friendly and you can tell the ones who are actually doing the cleaning bust their bums so I was going to give 3 stars but I'll give 4 considering all the hard work that goes into it! read more

DON'T bother!! Wow I don't think I have ever had such an expensive car wash in my life, you try and support local business and on return you get charged $50 where anywhere else you would have paid $20ish for the Same results, actually I probably would've gotten better results if I had vacuumed it at home they just push dirt to the side!! And there are NO appropriate words to describe how RUDE, cocky and obnoxious the " owner/Manager" was no customer service skills whatsoever! read more

The most miserable man stands ready to take the order. He is a bit pushy, and that's OK, but please, can you be a bit courteous??? Also, the Wait is awful and they do not seem to care about your long, long wait! Short line 4 cars, and I waited 27 minutes just to get my turn!! 45 minutes to get my car washed. Outcome was solid but I think I will try another Car Wash. read more

We paid $35 dollars for a car wash the outside still looked dirty , when you pull up your greeted but a salesman trying to up charge you on everything the guys "cleaning" the inside did a horrible job, and we paid for tire shine as well and never received it. read more

Would give this place 0 stars if I could. The owners son is a complete asshole. I had my 13 month old in the car who was screaming while we were in line. We got up to the front where one car was still in front of us. I took my son out because he was SCREAMING and I needed to console him. He yells at me to pull my car up. I asked if he could just pull it up considering I was alone and had already taken my son out of his car seat. He said "thats not how we do it" then said " I guess so, full service or regular" I said forget it. And left. The complete disrespect and lack of compassion was appalling. They clearly do not care about their customers in the slightest. read more

I am originally from the East Bay here in R.I. I have been here in Cranston for twenty two (22) yrs, where this has become my home. Oaklawn merchants obviously has been my norm. One of them is Oaklawn Care Wash. I have been going periodically there for twenty two (22) years since my residency here. Always been satisfied with their results. I have a Nissan Rogue 2011 that I purchased four (4) years ago with 52,000 miles. I have always kept it up with oil changes and other maintenance etc. Due to my busy work schedule, I knew that I was due for a wax to protect my car finish which was due two (2) years ago. This morning given Columbus day weekend, I have tree (3) days off and decided to call the car wash to see if I needed an appointment to get the car waxed for the winter. The lady on the phone was so polite and explained that as long as it was the exterior we could do it today. I showed up a half hour later and they took me in. As mentioned, my car is eleven (11) years old. The headlights were fogged up. I watched the individual recon my car including the headlights. I was not sure why he was buffing the headlights. I thought he made a mistake applying wax to the headlights and watching him after the buff wiping with a cloth for at least ten (10) minutes on each headlight thinking he made a mistake. OMG! I could not believe that my 2011 Rogue looked better that when even when I purchased it including the headlights. I called later at 4:15pm and spoke to the lady who took my call and had to mention how great the car looked as well as the fogged headlights. I mentioned to her my concerns about the headlights that never saw the headlights being done like that before. I never saw attention to detail like this. Obviously I thanked her and she would relate this information to this man who was her recon specialist. My car looks like out of the show room. Thank you Oaklawn Car Wash and to this lady which I still do not know her name all these years but now you know mine. Paul read more

These comments are funny but I worked with this nut he cares more about your vehicle then you do sometimes when you got a line wrapped around 4 corners so why not have the decency to fuck off come back another time skumbgs read more

I want to start this review off by saying that I wouldn't come back to this carwash if it was free. First of all, it is extremely overpriced. I've been to other car washes that do a way better job for half the price. The main reason I would never come back here is because of the owner. I have never in my entire life met someone as ignorant, cocky, and arrogant as this man. I'm not 100% sure if he is the owner but if he is, he should have absolutely nothing to do with the front of the house. He should not be working with customers at all. I've watched him disrespect multiple customers for no reason. Over the phone and in person. To the point where I've heard them walk out on their phones and say what an asshole he is. Even if this was a good car wash (which it is not) I would never give my money to someone like that. read more

Horrible service. The lady working there who's too busy talking w her friends to having to clean my own wheels on my Jaguar after 3 attempts. Maybe the crew needs better training to understand that black at a "car wash" is bad. Never going back. read more

The owner Ronnie is very arrogant, dishonest & rude. This man has no integrity when dealing with people. After dealing with him...when all was said & done, he ended up taking me for $350.

If I could give zero stars I would. Not only was the owner rude but he lied to me. I tried to take the trash out of my car and he yelled for me to get in the car. I tried to tell him I had trash but he walked away. I asked for super wash for 19 dollars which includes inside and out. He tried to up sell everything I agreed to cleaning tires. He asks of I want Amaral on my dash and console I said no just cleaned. He rolls he eyes and yells we don't clean the console unless you get the Amarol only windows and vacuum. 12.00 extra to Amaral!!!! I paid 36.00! That's insane. I asked the woman at the register how they could charge 19.00 for windows and vacuum she said we done they wipe down the interior. He lied! And she did not make it right and said yeah he's intense. We just ignore him. What!!?? Do not waste your money. read more

I had a complete inside-out detailing. They truly delivered. Not cheap, but price was exactly as advertised. Scheduled 3 weeks out, the weather on appointment date was touch-and-go, but the owner communicated with me, even on Sunday, and accomodated me. Car is now spotless- if they missed anything, I can't find it. I recommend, with no complaints at all. read more

Best car wash I've ever been to they do a really good job love the monthly plan only one I know does in and out for the price it's so worth it. Ron is an awesome guy very strict just wants everything right he's very safe conscious! And you love Marie she's a awesome lady!!! I would recommend them to anyone who loves that car! So HAPPY with the service!!! read more

I have been using this place for about six months and they consistantly do a great job. They always get the carpets vaccumed very well and wipe the dash and doors very well. (I am a slob) Expect to spend about $20 for an exterior wash with undercarriage clean, armor all tires and dash. If you can afford the cost it is well worth it compared to spending $10 at a "Do-It Yourself" place. TIP---Be ready for a wait if they have a big line. read more

Please be more specific in services so I'll know if you wash my floor mats for an extra fee and it's not included in the full service for 41.00. read more

Terrible. If you want to get a car wash after your car wash then this is the place to go. What a waste of $23. read more

Oaklawn Car Wash - What a waste - Car Wash Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

I've been here a few times now, they do a good job and the prices are reasonable. The only complaint I have is they offer interior cleaning as part of the price but only vacuum and wipe off the windows the dashboard and such didn't get done. I'm not sure if that's something additional but it wasn't offered if it was. Overall was worth the $20 I paid and the line moves pretty quickly. read more

To start Great car wash butttttttt, Anyone who knows me it takes a lot to get me mad, ask anyone I know what kind of man, father, and hardworker i am.... Huge problem with "owners" son, vaccumming chip on his shoulder , bald guy that wants people that never met him before to know his name after he was offended by me calling him buddy. Like "hey buddy is this the line for exterior car wash on the right . He then proceeded to say to me in an aggressive and condescending way hey buddy after ever word.. I then asked how I would know his name with no indication of a branded shirt or name tag..Real class act..let's say we had some kind words for the better of 10 minutes that almost ended in blows. After asking for a refund and I will never return to the establishment the father of the vacuuming tough guy leaves a vm says you will be charged the remainder of the month but they can cancel me for the following 2 months. Major issues.. note: 8 people watching and and the same 8 people in the waiting room who agree he is arrogant and ...very rude and has a better than you attitude.. good luck in the game of life..... read more

Very poor service! My car never used by anyone but me and only use of drivers seat. Car is kept up inside and out. Ask for full service package then had amor all to interior and tires....cost $50. They never vacuumed on side of seat, dirt in door foot pad, never cleaned out cup holder, never cleaned of digital meat pad, amor all to one door only. Went in to cashier twice ans she carries on a good conversation with customers but about personal life not business like and she obviously was upset with me bring to her attention the deficits. Sent the kid out twice who didn't understand even what she was referring to, then he used an amor alll rap on the windows all over the digital pad screen and marked up sloppy amor all wiping all over. Terrible job and the girl at the counter needs business education! read more

Trying something new, l thought I'd give Oaklawn Car Wash a try. A decision I'm regretting now. Long lines, a rude staff, and there attendant even said the car wash doesn't do that great of a job. It didn't. Learn from my mistake. I won't be back read more

I will NEVER go to this car wash again! First off...they want to charge you 17$ to wash the inside of your car lol so 40$ for the in and out. Which is ridiculous. I JUST had my breaks done yesterday and this morning I decided to try this car wash out for the first time. My mistake. My car was running PERFECTLY fine while driving to the car wash. When my car was done my breaks were hitting the floor. I had my car towed to my mechanics and I was told that the lift they used cut break line. All set with this car wash. Not to mention the guy who gave me my ticket was extremely rude. I can do a better job washing my car then they can for 40 buck. Haha read more
