    Conversation of the claims manager from Rich's car wash
    Celia A.

    I tried it and something went wrong during the car wash, caused my car to get hit and they didn't do anything to fix my car they said it was my fault (three cars later it happened again to a different car) the employees were very nice but the company has no reliability as well as their machines *be careful* also after I asked for the video of what happened, they never replied back

    This bumper cap (now a pancake) used to go there before being destroyed by Rich's machines.

    Unless you want your car damaged, I wouldn't recommend coming to Rich's car wash. During my visit to Rich's today, the machine ripped off part of my bumper- that was then ran over by another car. When I asked the attendant about it they went in and retrieved a pancake looking piece of plastic that used to be my bumper cap. When the guy (I'm assuming a manager) brought it back he was trying to reform it as if he wanted to put it back on. After I said no way that's going back on and took it from him he went to pull on the other side as if hoping to say "see it's loose too" , but of course it wasn't loose at all. I take extraordinary care of my vehicle and I make sure that there are no rattles or vibrating parts(I always hand wash except after winter weather driving.) After seeing the other one wasn't loose he shifted to the "how old is your car?" Defense. When I told him the year he let me know that anything over 7 years old wasn't covered and that they absolutely would do nothing to cover it. I was respectful and let him know that this was absurd, and he said that's the policy and that older cars have things fall of often. So here I am with a pancaked piece of bumper and a really bad taste in my mouth for the non-existent customer service at this location. The sad part is that if they had even made the smallest of effort to say we're sorry or that they were in the wrong I would have said no big deal and bought a new piece of my bumper knowing to never go back here. But instead I'm now forced to let others know of not only the terrible customer service, but also of the fact that you are absolutely at the mercy of any damage those machines do with no care given by employees who operate the place. Long story short; go to a different car wash that makes sure the customers, and their cars they entrust the company with, come first.

    Business reached out after initial review and promised to do better. One week later I came back and things were the same. Took pics of dirty pre-wash water this time.

    The best car wash in Mobile is Rich's on Airport. They'll even polish it for you for a small fee. My car always shines like a new nickel.

    Rich's is always a good experience and I love the citrus scented air fresheners they give you.

    See all

    On Wednesday BOGO is a great deal especially when you drive to vehicles. Try that $17 deal, you can't go wrong.

I got an awesome deal on the car and figured I could get the scratches mostly out on my own. I was rescued by one of Cameron and Gavin's customers who sent me to Down South Detail - WOW that was like winning the lotto! These craftsmen did a paint correction detail plus a ceramic coating that made the metallic dark green paint GLOW in bright daylight or dark! Not even a hint of scratches or swirls left. They also did the black wheels which stay clean much longer, and stay shiny! Gavin even got carried away and got in the engine bay shining up metal, painted, and plastic parts that glow now too! Now I get stopped on the street by complete strangers asking me about the paint. I tell them it's "Down South" Highland Green! So of course I left them my 3 year old Black Harley Low Rider "S" with the dark gold wheels that always get grimy from dirt and brake dust. It has a lot of miles and swirl marks plus a dozen real scratches on the tank where my knees hugged it during "oh crap" moments in the Rocky Mts. Again these new family members of mine presented me with a Harley that looked brand new - with all scratches and swirls Gone! Again, Gavin went wild and polished aluminum and stainless steel parts, and even polished and coated my gauge lenses which bead up nicely in the rain. The gold wheels stay bright and clean sooo easily now, and are a breeze to clean! I have been to numerous detail shops around the country, but Cameron and Gavin perform at higher level than I ever though possible. THANKS!

It was honestly a disaster before-think mud-caked nightmare-but he swooped in on time, armed with his own gear, including a proper hose because mine's a wild, holey thing that'd soak you silly in this chilly weather. He worked tirelessly all day, every corner gleaming: under the engine, on top, inside out, breathing life back into my baby so I could sell her for a premium on Bring a Trailer. He's so dedicated, he even coaches his son's soccer team (talk about a good guy!) My neighbor Trish saw the suds and begged him to detail their truck too so he powered through till dark on hers after he was done with mine. This weekend she and her man will go to the Auburn game in a sparkling clean truck! Professional, tireless, utterly admirable. He cleaned up after himself, great communication, polite, very professional. Walter's my forever go-to detailer. He is coming back tomorrow to wash my Mini Cooper and he does pressure washing, so I'm hiring him to do another job on my house. I highly recommended using Coastal Wash!

    DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH!!!!!!!!!!!! POOR BUSINESS ETHICS!!!!!!!!!!!…read more Do not go to this car wash at 1862 Government St., Mobile, AL 36606 at approximately 1:45pm; Friday July 8, 2022. I went to get my car washed. After getting my car washed I went to vacuum it out and raw sewage from this machine covered my upper body, got in my hair and ruined my white blouse. I actually thought it was raining; once I saw this black stuff spilling all over me and inside my car door and front seat. I had to jump back in my car and shut my door. I drove back around to the attendants there and told them what happened. They could careless but did take my name and number and gave me (get this) a napkin to try to whip the debris off my face. My white blouse was totally ruined with black nasty smelling spots all over my blouse. I was on my lunch break and had to head back to work for a meeting. Needless to say there was no way I could go back to my office looking like this. I had to stop at a boutique downtown and purchase a shirt for $50. The manager Craig Martin, Site Manager at Ultra Car Wash called me at work. During our conversation he indicated that I would be reimbursed. I sent him the receipt for the blouse that I had just purchased. The actual blouse I had on was $75 that I purchased a year ago from Dillard's in Miami Florida; however, I do not have the receipt as it has been well over a year since I purchased the said garment. I told him I would like very much to be reimbursed for the blouse as well and to please mail a ck to me. I also told him to please cancel my membership with Ultra Car Wash. This is from the Mgr: Again.. I apologize for that happening to you at our car wash. Yes you will be fully refunded for the damage to your dress. I do not expect you to have a receipt from a year ago. My CSA Donnise terminated your membership when you asked her to do so. I will however go back into the system and confirm this for you. I will get back to you as soon as I can when I have the conversation with my superior regarding the check. As soon as I have more information I will let you know. Thanks for your understanding as well. Craig Martin Site Manager Ultra Car wash TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN REIMBURSED. THE MANAGER HAS STOPPED ANSWERING MY EMAILS. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS CAR WASH. YOU WOULD THINK IN GOOD FAITH THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY BLOUSE. THIS COMPANY HAS VERY POOR BUSINESS ETHICS! MRS. C.D. CRAIG
