    I asked for the diamond service, immediately I noticed that they rushed washing my car. They honestly did a really sloppy job. I don't know if they did that because they seen that I was young and a woman at that. This often happens, I can never get a proper car wash. They didn't even properly wash my rims and didn't dry my mats.

    Excellent service!!! Looks great! I will be using them again!! And they wouldn't hesitate to…read morerecommend them to a friend for sure. Great job guys.

    Pay attention to how he responds to negative reviews- he is defensive and blames the customer…read moredespite the photo evidence that his work is unacceptable. There's another review on a major platform describing the same experience as my own, so this is not an outlier It's how he operates. I booked this detailing service as a gift for my daughter. She was given her dad's car (2016 Honda Pilot), which had been sitting for about a year. It was messy from crumbs he had left and let sit, but there were no major stains or anything egregious. I was so excited for the transformation that I even took "before" pictures to show her dad since it's technically his car (I also didn't want to be blamed for any scratches or wear/tear that already existed). Unfortunately, the entire experience was a disaster from start to finish. When I first reached out, John quoted me $200 (his website says $189 for an SUV by the way- red flag #1). I should have realized something was off when he had next-day availability on a Saturday--that was red flag number two. Red flag number three came when I arrived to drop off the car: he suddenly announced it was a "cash only" transaction and bumped the price up to $265, claiming the car was "very dirty." Since he increased the price right then and there upon seeing the car, it made me think that the extra money was exactly what was needed to get the car properly cleaned. When it was time to pick up the car, he took my cash (I gave him $305 total, including a tip I had prepared with the payment in good faith) and left immediately (the place was closed) meaning we didn't even get to inspect the vehicle with him. My daughter saw the shiny leather and got excited. But once we properly looked inside, I was angry. It honestly looked like they just drove it through a standard car wash with interior vacuum/wipe down (a $50 service by the way) and called it a day. The steering wheel and stick shift were completely untouched and heavily soiled. Leaving those dirty is like cleaning a bathroom and skipping the toilet! The dashboard and air vents were dusty as hell. The seats were left feeling greasy. The touch screen and entire console had swirl marks All over them and residue. The exterior was also covered in swirl marks/ didn't look polished at all. No evidence of the "6 month sealant" he boasts on the website. He specifically promised he would polish the faded headlights, but they look absolutely no different. We actually had to stay parked by the building and clean the car ourselves just to make it acceptable before we left. I stopped taking pictures after a while of cleaning because my daughter was getting frustrated and just wanted to leave, so the photos I sent him didn't even capture everything that was left dirty. When I confronted him about the terrible job, not only did he not apologize, but he actually blamed me for what the car looked like when I dropped it off! As you can see in the before pictures, it was nothing crazy. Yes, it was dirty, but that's literally what paying for a detail is for. If he needed more time or more money to do the job right, it is his job as a business owner to communicate that to the customer. He keeps saying he is 38 years in business but that's not a flex if you haven't figured out yet how to clean a car properly. The fact that he thinks this is an acceptable result for anybody paying $305 is unbelievable. He refused to give me a partial refund (I asked for $150, leaving him with $155 which is way more than I would ever pay for this service- a regular car wash deep clean would do a better job for $50) and he wouldn't even refund the tip. He offered to have me bring it back in, but I absolutely did not trust them with the car again and didnt want to waste another day with his shop. Save your time, your money, and your peace of mind. Go somewhere else.

    I've been coming to this car wash since it opened in 1992. It was always the best car wash around…read more Hands down. A few years back they changed owners and... things went downhill quickly. I'd actually stopped coming after a series of PATHETIC car washes- really bad. Seems like the crew at the end of the tunnel liked to stand around and do almost nothing... snapping towels at each other and studiously ignoring the customers. Windows and wheels were always dirty as hell and, frankly, for the amount of cleaning that I had to do AFTER the car wash- it seemed pointless to throw away $29.00. Fast forward to this past spring (2023) and I REALLY needed a car wash- I was taking the long way to work - through Butler to 287 -and I threw a Hail Mary and stopped at Wash Hounds. Keeping my expectations VERY low, I was wildly surprised! There was a young (Russian? Polish? ) guy at the computer and he tried upselling me to a monthly pass. I told him, point blank, that I hadn't had any good experiences here for quite some time and that they'd really need to knock the ball out of the park if they wanted my business. My car looked like it had been detailed when I came outside from paying. Seriously- it was perfect. Spotless windows, gleaming wheels, everything dried, cleaned, vacuumed, and looking like I did the job myself. I came back the next day and signed up for the unlimited plan. As the summer wore on, the Russian kid vanished and the service started slipping. I finally cancelled the plan at the end of November, as I don't wash my car all that often in the winter (I go when it really needs a good bath, but- you know- not often enough to warrant $60/month) My car needed a little spiffing up before we started all the Christmas shopping, etc. so I stopped at wash hounds this morning and the evolution (or I suppose this would be de-evolution) was complete. Awful job. The guys at the end of the car wash were just snapping towels at each other and basically standing around doing very little. Flashback, man. Far out. I parked my car a few spaces down from where the crew was wiping down cars and spent 20 minutes with a spray bottle of cleaner and a towel (out of my trunk... I'm a bit anal about my car) and spiffed it up to the point that satisfied me. I cleaned the wheels- they were filthy. I cleaned the entire interior - looked like they hadn't even wiped it down, never-mind. CLEANED it. I wiped down all the door jambs and trunk jambs- they were all dripping water. I rolled the windows down a few inches and cleaned/dried the top of the glass that was still wet and soapy. If I had windex with me, I'd have re-done the rear window and the windshield- pathetic. So- we're back to "stay the hell away." If you REALLY want to come to wash hounds - pull 30 bucks out of your wallet- rip it up and keep driving. You'll have the same experience and you'll save yourself 20 minutes and a day of frustration thinking about your wasted money. I MAY come back in the Spring to see if things have changed... but I really need a place that is consistent. Wash Hounds is truly hit-or-miss with the "misses" being all too common. They need to find a manager that knows what he's doing and has experience dealing both with customers AND with lazy-ass employees.

    this is the worst car wash I've ever gotten they left all my wheels dirty stains in the car still…read moreand didn't even put armor all on all my tires I had to grab it all myself and actually do it all before I left 40 down the drain I'll stick with Paterson had ca washes they are cheaper an do a way better job and it's all by hand

    I recently visited Royal Car Wash in Wayne for a routine oil change, and I have to say the…read moreexperience exceeded my expectations thanks to Tani. What started as a simple service turned into one of the most thorough and professional automotive experiences I've had. While inspecting my vehicle, Tani noticed a couple of safety concerns involving my tires and brakes that I would've easily overlooked. He took the time to clearly explain what needed attention, why it was important for my safety, and what options I had. His honesty, diligence, and professionalism really stood out -- no upselling, just genuine care for the customer's well-being. Thanks to Tani and the team at Royal Car Wash, I left not only with fresh oil but also with the peace of mind that my car is safe and properly maintained. I highly recommend this location, and especially Tani, for anyone who values excellent service and attention to detail.

    Idk what happened to this place a few years ago they were great, now my car seems worse than it did…read morebefore I spent 50 bucks. Their register was down and they wanted to write my credit card down so they can charge me later absolutely ridiculous. The girl at the front was very nice so this isn't on her. I'm pretty sure that all comes from the owner. I had to get them to re-wipe down my car because they only cleaned half my windows I paid for my mats to get cleaned. They're filthy and then I look on my receipt and I got charged for being a truck. I drive a Subaru cross trek.... Last couple times I've been here. It's been the same thing every time Car never really gets clean. Avoid this place at all costs.
