I absolutely love this place! I used to spend $120.00 per car wash. Granted that included the employees doing the vacuuming. In these times, most people are trying to save money. I really don't mind vacuuming my own car especially if it saves me over $90 per visit. It is fast and easy. The vacuums are free. The staff is friendly! Bonus! If you are a person who likes to get their car washed on a weekly basis you should sign up for a membership because that will save you money too. It is so worth it! read more

Jay was the man. I was selling my car and he made sure I got a quality wash. The towels they give a nice and damp to clean with. Their dryer could be better, lots of water left on car when leaving. read more

This place needs to go! Long time resident of Scottsdale and city worker for years. Hard sales pitch, verbal harassment, and now price gouging. I get it inflation and all but double the price for the same thing I was getting before?! Let's be modest about price increases. I gave this place one last chance. 4 redirect sales pitch is a hard no for me. I'm disgusted and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. read more

Jay was excellent and super helpful!!! They have the kindest workers. Would come back 10000%

Honestly this place has been my go to for years since opening. That being said the harassment when I decline the membership each time is out of control and I dread coming here. They try to make you feel stupid. With all do respect I don't think you want to play that game with me but I refuse to stoop to your levels. Need a new car wash spot asap. I get it I pay more but it works for me. I think today was my final straw I was very direct but polite and shared that I feel harassed when I come and hate it and the smug guy goes that's ok we'll do it next time too. This was all in front of my teenage daughter. She was so confused why that man was speaking to me like that. I'm embarrassed for this establishment but teaching my daughter we do not have to tolerate this abuse from men and we will take our business elsewhere. Shame on you. read more

Cancelled my membership and they continued to charge me to the tune $250 then gaslighted me saying I never cancelled. Buyer beware!

Had a carwash membership around $21 a month. It was worth the money and I had it for a couple years. It's all self service so I can see how they lack in customer service. I cancelled it as I moved and wouldn't need it. They kept charging me for months. Called the number on the bank statement, said I would get a call back. Days passed, no call. Went in person to cancel. They asked me for my receipt, which I didn't have because when I washed my car I threw it out. Explained to me over and over why they needed the receipt but wouldn't listen when I told them to pull their copy. Took them 30 minutes and they couldn't find it. They wouldn't refund me my money based on... the principle. Even though they could see that the last time my car was washed. They cancelled it THAT DAY with NO SIGNATURE. Keep your receipt or be sure you ask for one when you cancel your monthly membership. Same thing happened at the Gilbert location to my dad. read more

The sales pitch is off the charts. To the point of not letting you through without telling you 10 times you're a loser if you don't sign up for your membership. Now I just tell him what I need and go silent. Absolutely silent. They get no words and I look at my phone until they finally get the hint. Washing my car used to be therapeutic but now I have to medicate just to get through the line gate. Not cool read more

High pressure sales tactics from agressive staff. Will not take a direct "NO THANK YOU" for an answer, and hold your credit card hostage so that they can continue to try an upsell you a membership for several long minutes. Don't believe me? Please read the many, many reviews that talk about "hard sell." There are too many other car washes in Scottsdale to put up with this trash. As for me, I will never return. read more

I have the cheapest membership at $21/mo, which includes unlimited basic washes but no air freshener or cleansing wipes. I feel like the prices are too high for what they offer. I do not like that I have to pay $35/mo just to get a cleansing wipe and air freshener each time I go through. The service is friendly, and the car wash is easy to access with a large vehicle. I was not happy last time I went, because they shut off all the hoses while I was using the vacuum at 7:09pm on a Sunday (9 min after close time) even though the staff was still cleaning up. That is a pretty rude way to treat members! I they could just fix the pricing and customer service issues I mentioned, it would be great! read more

I dread going here because every time I go to pay they give you the hard sell and talk to you like you are an idiot for not signing up for their monthly membership. I stop responding and they just keep pushing the hard sell. Never experienced this anywhere in my life. read more

I use to enjoy coming here, but the sales tactics have gotten insanely aggressive. The associate tried to upgrade me or sell me a membership at least 8 times. He was holding my credit card & instead of checking me out for what I asked he continued to try to upsell me. Sadly I'm going to go somewhere else from now on. read more

Raceway Express Car Wash - Look at that shine! - Car Wash Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I love this carwash! I signed up for the monthly subscription for 36.99 a month which is great because with how dusty AZ is I'm going multiple times a month and everytime I went before I signed up I was always getting the 20.00 dollar car wash anyways so it's a great deal. Anyone who isn't on a monthly subscription is an idiot and doesn't know how to do math lol. My car is always looking great! :) read more

NO MEANS NO BRUH!! Do to your high-pressure sales, reminiscent of Mexican timeshare pitches... I avoid your location. I prefer Clean Freak up by my work or even Costco that doesn't have vacuums just to avoid the high pressure manipulation from your employees. On my way to take my grandma out for lunch -I decided to get the car cleaned on 10/20/25 at 11:15 AM - As I pulled up... I asked the talk handsome guy for the "$10 car wash with no sales pitch" . He said "For four dollars more you can get the $14 .... " I ignored him because I had already explained I didn't want a sales pitch . He said it again. I said no. He smiled and said "Are you sure? For only four dollars more..." I replied "I said I didn't want a sales pitch." He said "It's not a sales pitch- I'm just letting you know for only four dollars more... " He ignored my "NO" 4 times and pitched it 5 times- It was very, very, very frustrating- which he relished with a smirk! If I wanted to be intimidated into doing something I didn't want... I would go to a frat party. NO MEANS NO BRUH!!! Please pay your employees more so that they don't have to act like dirtbags to earn special bonuses to pay their bills. read more

I cannot implore y'all enough to visit Raceway (specifically Hayden Rd, Scottsdale location)!!! If you are seeking a quick, efficient, and quality wash for your vehicle, give Arthur (manager) and his crew a visit! They will get you taken care of in no time. Their customer service is impeccable. Each and every visit the team is prepared to welcome their new & returning patrons with a smile on their faces. The first time I came, it was because of their "free wash" offer, I was expecting the most basic of express washes and intended to get only that to tide me over until the next time I needed a wash (which driving in Arizona, you will need more often than you think)! Upon first visit I was offered the top tier wash and a "pit stop" kit (complete with a dash wipe, glass wipe, & car freshener). To say I was Surprised is an understatement. Because of the first impression and enjoyable experience I had, I returned for another go assuming the first experience was a fluke. NOPE! It was not, they are just that awesome, this time I elected to purchase an unlimited membership for $20.95 a month. I have used it daily since and am happier than can be. Their free (to all) vacuums with powerful suction, high power compressed air tools (to get all the nooks and crannies), and high quality towel service have me convinced this $20 investment each month is worth it alone! Thank you Arthur & Team! Your effort does not go unappreciated or unnoticed! read more

Paid for a basic wash, after declining the attempts to upsell me. Very annoying. The wash was not very good and didn't clean as good as it should have to get my moneys worth. It's almost like they should have washed the car 2X to make it clean. They did offer damp towels which I used to clean the whole car. Although I appreciate the towels, I would not recommend this car wash. read more

I hate this car wash! You can't just get a car wash. The sales pitch is so over the top. I won't be back.

I will never be back!! Every. Single. Time. I get harassed to purchase and upsell etc. I say "I just want the least expensive wash" and they harass me try to argue with me to buy a higher priced wash, and tell me I need to say the name of the wash. What???? This is absolutely insane. These kids that work here are the lowest life, gross, bottom of the barrel and complete punks! How hard is it to hire nice kids these days that are good with customers? What is the point of arguing with me and playing word games and making me say the name of their car wash package?! Just let me buy the $10 car wash! This corporation/owner needs serious help. read more

After being harassed for membership at one of the raceways, I decided to give another one a try, I guess it's just the corporate plan. That being said, this one is equally terrible, every wash is the same, the basic wash or the most expensive will not give your car any different look. I do not know why they do not. Simply let you have a car wash and you need to go through a sales pitch every time, I am a busy person and I do not get my car washed often. I will no longer be getting it washed here. read more

Noah, the customer service employee wouldn't stop trying to get me to upgrade, despite me finally looking away on my phone waiting for him to charge my card, he showed me air fresheners to purchase, again I said no thank you and asked him to just charge for the wash I selected. He went on to say he is just trying to save me money and doesn't know why that's so bad, I finally said can you just stop, I just want to pay. He kept on by saying I was wasting money so I finally said that's enough, give my card back. Told him he needs to know when to stop, this is ridiculous I just want to wash my car, I said. He let me through where I had to make a U-turn, which meant I had to pass him and he stood right by the road and waved at me sarcastically saying "bye have a great evening", this is when I felt unsafe, it was eerie and almost psychotic gestures he gave while waving. I didn't make eye contact and left hoping he has no way of finding where I live. This business is over the top and near making you feel unsafe. read more

My car was filthy dirty coming out of the wash and the customer service manager could see that and allowed me to go back thru. Unfortunately I after several times of running thru my car was still filthy dirty coming out, especially the roof of the car; there was big some spots that were obviously missed. I asked for my money back but that was a nonnegotiable conversation. For that reason I will not go back, but I did admire his initial attempts to make this $14.00 car wash "fair" to me since their car wash couldn't get the job done on my SUV. read more

Car wash machine is so so but the price is great and monthly membership is super well priced. Literally take my car through every few days and never have an issue read more

Pros: - Friendly staff - Vacuums and air dusters included - Free items with select washes Cons: - Worst car wash I've ever received - Damage done to my vehicle AVOID! The majority of my vehicle was not cleaned. The rear hatch, window, and bumper were completely untouched as was the hood. I discovered long, deep scratches on the rear passenger side of my vehicle at my first stop after leaving the car wash. Horrible business. read more

I was always impressed with this car wash. I had the unlimited deal. But your prices keep going up. Just not worth it anymore.

MarQuis was the best! Wonderful customer service! 10/10 recommend! Place was clean and fast.

Be careful what you sign. I thought I was signing a credit card receipt only to find I'd signed up for life. It's a scam outfit with no help at all. read more

Just wanted to post a very positive review from my experience here today getting my car washed. The associates working here today were so friendly and I just want to thank them for excellent customer service with a smile! Thank you Ryon for your help at the check in booth he saw that I still had my windshield sticker from the previous competitor and happily helped remove it for me. Top notch! The young lady at the entrance of the wash was super cheerful and friendly also, very good look for this location. Making customers feel welcomed and valued. In addition, the quality of my wash was superb. Everyone should "race" right into this location! read more

Went to this establishment on 7-12-2023 & their machine broke off the top cap of my passenger side mirror. Came back the next morning when I noticed on 7-13-2023 and they found the damaged cap in the trash as well as other mirror caps (clearly a ongoing issue here..) Anthony Vera the general manager called on 7-14-2023 & informed me that they would not remedy the situation in any way and that they were not liable because of "disclaimers" The law states that as a consumer you do not have to accept damage just cause you go through a car wash. Unless of course you were negligent or you have an old automobile where damages can likely occur. That being said I drive a new 2018 Toyota Rav 4 and my car is in excellent condition. Out of pure principle I will be taking the issue to small claims court. I would be hesitant about taking your car wash through this establishment as clearly they have an issue with damaging mirrors and will do nothing in recourse to help a consumer that was consequently damaged via their machines.

Terrible wash that scratches your car in multiple places. I have a brand new 2024 vehicle and all of a sudden, after visiting raceway for the 3rd time in a month, I have multiple scratches. One, on the drivers' side mirror, is an inch wide and an inch tall. I get to buff it out, now. Should have just slaved over washing the car myself at a DIY wash. read more

Stopped by about 20 min ago and just had to leave a review because of the employee. Rayon was amazing and so helpful! He helped me join the monthly unlimited washes and had the most positive attitude. Highly recommend this location! read more

I signed up for one month promo for unlimited washes, and once that month was over, they continued to charge me $30 a month. If you try to call them, good luck because none of the locations answer and I don't even think they have a phone there since I called 6+ places and they all went to voicemail. Terrible service, and make sure you know what you're signing up for bc they just want money and don't care about you :) read more

SCAM ALERT!!! I wish there was an option to give 0 stars. Went to this raceway car wash back in October with the intention to purchase 1 single car wash. The salesman was shady and asked me to sign the receipt I assumed it was because I use a credit card and I did not read the fine print. I was enrolled in recurring monthly charges with the intention to only purchase a single car wash and the salesman knew that. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING THIS IS A SCAM! Will be reporting to the Better Business Bureau. read more

Great service and always super friendly! Unfortunately we moved. If not, we would have continued to be Members for a long time. Thank you for everything! Highly recommended! read more

A visitor from out of town with California Plates to match went for a car wash in March 2022. When I approached the window to purchase a car wash, a Blonde lady named Amy said, we have a promotion today.. I told her basics wash and handed her money, she refused and said credit cards only. Never, Never, did this lady say this is a monthly rate.. I have been charged on my credit card EVER, EVER since, until I came back to visit my daughter in Tempe, Az today. Spoke with General Manager Jamie Jones that said, " I CAN'T REFUND YOU THE CHARGES" I CAN'T ONLY CANCEL YOUR PRO AS OF TODAY. WATCH OUT PEOPLE SCAMMERS!!! read more

Nice car wash but the long lines add to much time to the process to justify frequenting.

I went for a spontaneous car wash today with my kids after visiting nearby Local Donut... I wasn't on a mission to get a car wash, but since it was close by, cheap, and I didn't have to get the kids out of the car to do it, we went for it! Autumn greeted us when we pulled in and she was super friendly. She shared her favorite scents for the air freshener, offered us candy, and gave me a wet cloth to clean the inside of my car while we went through the wash. Daniel instructed me to put my car in neutral and got me going through the outdoor tunnel portion of the wash. Our visit to CMCW was efficient, priced well, and overall a pleasure. The kids didn't mind it although the downside of going with them is that I didn't get to clean out their car seats. More reason to return again soon! read more

Raceway Express Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Loved coming here cause it's always quick and no line. Sadly no longer will give them my business. Asked for a bug scraper or prep since I just had a trip. Paid the extra $2, great. He sprayed with a power hose 5 seconds. Maybe 10 seconds max. Drive home and looked, water spots all over the car and windows and no bugs removed. For $10 I could've washed at home. read more

I never thought I'd be so excited about a car wash! I wanted a basic wash to clean some bird poop off my car. The price of the basic was at this place is great - $6! My car was thoroughly cleaned and shiny afterwards. No more bird poop. The nice extra touch that puts this place over the top compared to other basic car washes I've had is that I was handed a moist cleaning cloth to clean the dust off of my dashboard while my car went through the wash. Genius! I don't think my dashboard had ever been cleaned before and it was quite dusty. So, for $6, my car was sparkly clean on the outside and I was given a cloth to clean my dashboard. I'll definitely be back! read more

I go to a lot of car washes because of course I like to keep my car clean. Just like everybody else I would think. So I've been to several in Scottsdale many in Phoenix and definitely quite a few in Tempe and the East Valley. So when I went to this car wash I noticed immediately that their service was very slow. Particularly when I drove up and had to pay before I drove through the car wash. They didn't really seem to know what they were doing. As far is the car wash itself was concerned it was perfectly fine and I would just say that it was pretty average for a car wash. I didn't think that it was anything special and I felt the service was not up to par. read more
