    I noticed that my car had some odd marks on it, I assume from some fun spring plant or pollen. After work today I decided to swing over to get the car washed, this location was quick and efficient. I pulled through the line, paid for a full service exterior car wash. My car was pulled through the tunnel with all your typical car wash bells and whistles. Very reasonably priced, and I can go back within 5 days for a free car wash. I'll be back to this location.

    Not good. Hopefully they get more help. I think they're understaffed. There's a Crew car wash next door.

    I've had my car since 2010 and have never had it detailed. I practically live out of my car as I referee a sport in addition to my day-time job. I have a full second-wardrobe and food packed in the back. I am eating on the road, taking pregame naps in the car, and am airing out sweaty clothes as I travel from state to state. I shop-vac my car 2-3x per year, but that's it. With how crummy I felt my car looked on the inside, I had pretty low expectations on how nice my car could potentially look. Sparkling Image blew my expectations away. I initially went to the one on Keystone, but they do not have indoor detailing, only outdoor and it was 22 degrees, so they asked that I go to the one on 86th Street. I called ahead as they are first come, first serve to make sure that I could get in and headed that way. They were very accommodating. I dropped my car off and went to the Starbucks a couple doors over and waited. It took a little over 4 hours, but my car feels brand new. My husband says that he has never seen my car this clean in all the years he has known me. I was considering a buying a new car, but Sparkling Image made by car feel brand new again. All it needed was a deep clean! I feel like you can spend hundreds of dollar on getting your car detailed, so for $129, I felt like I really got a lot out of that money. The staff was very friendly and responsive. The person at the front desk gave me an estimate on how long it would take for my car to get done and checked me out promptly. The person working on my car in the bay left plastic on the slightly damp seats as they were still drying after being shampooed. I was very impressed by the service and now my husband is planning to get his car done as well.

    I went to wash my car today 2/8.#241,When I got back, the seats were still dirty ,The staff didn't clean my car properly

    I've only ever used the car wash service here. Every time it's come out very clear. They do a good job vacuuming the inside and wiping everything down. Considering the conditions they work in with being outside in the sun I give them major props. Will continue to visit here. It is a bit more expensive than some places but overall a good value.

    Why pay to get your car cleaned out when they can't even wipe down the inside of the tailgate?

I grew up in this neighborhood so I have seen this place BOOMING with cars lined all the way down 16th St. It won't be like that any longer I can almost guarantee. I paid for both interior and exterior cleaning. I had moved a pair of boots on to the floor thinking they could just lift them and vacuum but NOPE they put them in the backseat thus leaving dried mud and debris on the seat. The cup holders and console were hardly touched and the vents were still covered in dust. I took a look around and wasn't happy so I asked one of the workers if he could bring another towel over. When he saw what they had left behind he said "I would tell the manager, he was just getting on them about being lazy... I can't say anything because he'll chew my head off because he says I try to do too much". I thought that was odd but as I was standing in the lobby, I had seen a grumpy little man with a pony tail talking to people like they were dogs, frazzled because they had just locked a customer's keys in their car. low an behold this was the "manager". When he came over I explained what I was unhappy with and he immediately started making excuses. Saying they weren't a detail shop, they do "light dusting" and he personally cleaned the cup holders and it was just "caked on dirt" - it was loose crumbs. They didn't even bother to sweep besides the seats. He didn't bother to look inside. I disagreed and told him I paid $34 for an INSIDE and OUTSIDE clean. He was combative and rude the whole time and decided that instead of just doing a better job, he had time to stand there and get into a screaming match with me in front of everyone there including my 14 year old brother who was in the car. I explained I didn't buy the basic package so I though that would mean a more detailed service (there's no description on the menu other that what they do to the outside) he claimed that "just because you spend more money that doesn't mean you get better service." Which LOL - anyways, during the altercation at one point he walked away and said something under his breath, ti which I asked him what he said - he came back for round two! Again yelling about how detail jobs are $250 and they're not a detail shop, I had unrealistic expectations. At one point he said "you are ignorant" to which I called him out again. His excuse was I was talking over him, and he tried to back peddle. I never called him out of his name, but I told him he's bad for business and he treats his employees and customers like trash. He needs to do better. After walking away a second time he called me a "f**kin dumba**" under his breath. Save your money and go to crew or somewhere else. This is a half finished service with a side of excuses as to why it's acceptable. Don't complain unless you want to get in a screaming match with a temperamental dude with a fragile ego who will eventually ruin his own business because he doesn't know how to run a respectable one. In the amount of time he spent arguing his piss poor performance he could have rectified what I was unhappy with. Instead he decided his time was better spent screaming at a woman with a child in her car.

I can usually handle the ones where you just drive in and park and it moves around you. There used to be 2 in my neighborhood but one closed and the other has been broken for awhile. I have noticed that this location is always really popular so I thought I would stop in. I pulled up and the staff immediately greeted me and helped me select a wash, then guided me into the wash. The staff were wearing masks. I also noticed that they had a separate line for monthly subscribers. The wash got my car 98% clean, but I did only select the $6 wash. They also have free vacuums making it a pretty good value. If you don't get a car wash, the vacuums are $2.

I was originally told by a staff member that the company would take care of the damages. He took my information down and said that someone from corporate would call me. I went up to the carwash 3-4 more times to find out when someone would call me and I was given an excuse every time. A month later, I received a phone call on a Saturday afternoon stating they were a manager and that the technician said they would not be paying for the damages because there is a sign up stating they don't pay for any damages done to the vehicle. When asked for the corporate number, I was told there isn't one. When I asked for the owners name, I was told they are very private. The a guy in the background stated I could go through my insurance. He then got on the phone and stated he was a manager and that they wouldn't be paying for damages. He then threw out that my car was SIX years old, and that it's been through snow and rain. He also stated he has an old car. When I told that my car isn't old, he then asked if I just got it off the car lot. I told him 2 years ago, I did. I then asked what he meant by that because my car isn't old or tore up and that it's irrelevant to what I'm calling for. He then moved on to tell me to look on Crew's reviews because I told him to look at the reviews with the damages done to the cars because of Royal's Car Wash. He said that stuff happens all the time, and that he has a million dollar machine. I told him damages never occurred at Crew and that he's giving me BS answers regarding my claim. He states I can go through my insurance and when I asked for the owner's info, he says he can't give it out and he says I can use his name, which he gives me. At this point, I was very frustrated as a customer and I got quiet. He says he has work to do and can't stay on the phone. Then hangs up on me. If you choose to go here, good luck!
