    Great deal for car detailing
    Janice K.

    I asked my husband to take my car to get it washed. I usually buy the $10 drive-through, which is really good for all this pollen. Of of course my husband got more of a detailing. These guys did an amazing job for under $50. I love this place. I'm not sure why they get bad reviews.

    Wheels were not properly cleaned as paid for, and there was a lack of tire shine despite payment for that as well.

    I made the mistake of visiting this car wash establishment once. Despite purchasing their top-of-the-line wash package, which included wheel cleaning and tire shine, I was thoroughly unimpressed with the results. The quality of service was subpar, and I've included a photo of the wheels as evidence. The employee who worked on my vehicle appeared disinterested in delivering quality work and claimed she had done her best. When I complained to the office, I was told to speak with the manager, who was none other than the same staff member who had worked on my vehicle. Needless to say, I will not be returning and would advise others to seek alternative car wash services that value customer satisfaction.

    John: An incredibly knowledgeable team member.

    I always have a terrific experience when I come to Mobile 1 Lube Express and Sparkling Image Car Wash. I drove up to get my truck fully detailed, and John (he's terrific!) smelled oil burning. He and I both investigated under the hood and he found that my oil was significantly overfilled. (Background - My husband added oil to my engine this morning in the cold weather) - and John recognized and educated me that cold weather can affect how the oil level reads. So I took the opportunity to do a few other things that I had been putting off changing (oil change, power steering, fuel injection, etc.). John, Torres, Fig, and the team all helped to take care of my vehicle. The main waiting room lounge is super comfortable and I hung out there until my truck was done being serviced. Kudos to John for always being on top of what's happening with my vehicle every visit! **He drained enough oil to change three cars! Also - I saved a ton of money with the packages I had bought since I come there regularly for service and for detailing. Great place to bring your vehicle!

    Went to go get an oil change, replace my air filters and get radiator fluid change. They ended up breaking my glove compartment. I rarely use my glove compartment and they took out my glove compartment to check my car. Didn't even bother to mention they broke it. Paid close to $200 to get everything done and it's going to cost just as much to fix it.

    Three people on my car! This is why you plan your wash when it's slow.

    See all

He was patient, friendly, and made the whole experience a lot easier. You can tell he actually cares about the customers and wants people to have a good experience. It is not often you run into someone that helpful anymore. Definitely a five star experience because of Jared.

    Joe's Express Car Wash is my go-to car wash service provider. I've been taking my car(s) (I've had…read morea few) through this car wash for years now. They offer great price points and car wash packages as well as monthly subscriptions. They also usually have great deals throughout the week as well as promo specials that you can save on your washes or even get one for free. Since they've expanded, a lot of the congestion has calmed down. Now they offer far more cleaning/vacuuming stations. They still get busy from time to time but ever since the expansion - even at their peak times, you usually can still find a spot to finish up detailing your car after the wash. The staff is great and helpful. My only gripe with this facility - but it is also an issue I have with all drive-thru car washes - is that at the end of the wash when it's time for the air to blow off all the water, it never gets the car fully dry. So, I usually always have to do some type of wipe down to avoid water spots from forming post-wash. Again, this is a general complaint I have with all car wash facilities. Beyond that, this is a great facility!! I highly recommend!!

    We've chosen to go to Octopus Car Wash for many years, mostly out of pure convenience. We recently…read moregot a new family vehicle and decided to do their unlimited monthly "Carnauba Clean" (express tunnel wash only) for $30/month. If you go at least twice a month, it's worth it and since we live just around the corner, it's easy for us to run the car through the express wash real quick. So far, we've been happy with the service and the staff have always been really friendly (despite being outside in the heat for hours). I would be cranky haha, but everyone we've encountered is so nice and seems like they genuinely enjoy working there. This package does not include an interior cleaning, so it only takes about 7 minutes from start to finish if there's not a line. My son loves to watch out the window and see all the fun colorful lights as you go through the wash cycle. As you exit the tunnel, they quickly towel dry your car and send you off. You don't even get out of the car.

    Would put 0 starts if I could. A part of the service we purchased was that we get a scent. When we…read moreasked for it, we were told we need to go to the office. There, we were told that the scent thing hasn't shipped so they don't have it. Logically, I asked if there is a substitute (they have other scents for sale) or a reimbursement/discount because, at the end of the day, I did not received what was advertised. That is not the worst part... The man who I, unfortunately, had to talk about the situation, named Kerry was overly aggressive. He kept saying "we don't have it" instead of answering my question on where it is stated that sometimes the promised product is not available. He kept aggressively asking me what my complaint was instead of answering my question. His tone and gestures made me feel unsafe. He said I am violating his space and threatened that he has cameras on property. I felt completely blindsided by that move as I was 1) not given what I was promised 2) talked to disrespectfully, and, to add on 3) threatened. This is beyond unacceptable and the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It is unfortunate I have to write this review as I was using this car wash often. The people who polished the car did a good job and the cashier inside was helpful and friendly. I feel as though it is unfair to other workers, but Kerry completely ruined the experience.

I'm a huge fan of the blowing dryer available in each bay, and the very functional wash tools like the tri-foam gun etc. Most other washes have poor functioning equipment creating wasted time. I'm new to this was so I'm unclear if it recently was updated but I whole heartedly disagree with all prior negative reviews. Also, those who rate this poorly for no business opinion and simply on the sheer basis of assumption for its customer base should not have a negative impact on the rating. If In fact people are using drugs and blasting music at 2 am then you should call police because there are numerous signs that speak to loitering and loud music on property. Further, the car wash is on a busy street, adjacent to a gas station a car repair and parts store etc. and certainly fits in with nearby business and zoning. Also curious how you make the allegation of "doing drugs" when the high school / college kids who have a passion for cars are likely detailing their car at 2 am instead of doing drugs, driving drunk or a number of other things. Disclaimer: I have no clue who owns this place. I am unaffiliated with it in all regard and recently started going here following my quest for a better option. I just get mad as heck when people post racist and false comments that negatively impact a small business owner and misconstrued as fact.

    I am not a car person or do I really care a whole lot about whether my car is clean (don't judge…read moreme) but when I do decide that my car needs a bath this is my go-to spot. It's cheaper than most drive thru car washes and if you sign up for their text messages they send you a free $25 car wash. They also do promos often. If I cared more about my car I'd sign up for their unlimited plan, it's only $20/month which is a great deal! I'd say I go about once every few months, it's always fast, never too busy and their vacuums actually have powerful suction. Last time I went the guy was so friendly, he waved to me as I left! I don't think I've ever been waved goodbye to as I left a car wash! Check out Top Dog if you are looking for an inexpensive self serve car wash.

My antenna of my car broke from the car wash, literally as I exited all you heard was a crunch. I called to get help, no answer. I recently went back, my card had been changed so I wasn't charged for my month so my sticker wasn't working, I asked for assistance from the young lady to just get me a wash for that day. She ends up moving me to another lane, charging me $30 which was confusing I thought they had just increased their prices, and then let me through, I went back recently because I got a bunch of mud on my white car and the guy stopped me because my sticker wasn't scanning but I was in the process of buying a day wash, he then brings me inside and says I haven't updated my card, I explained how I saw the young lady earlier that week who said she had fixed everything and cancelled me. She indeed did not he said she re signed you up and didn't apply it to your sticker like how does that even make sense.
