    See the red arrow showing the location of the missing trim - front passenger side

    I visited Sparkling Image Car Wash location in Plantation, FL to have the exterior and interior of my black Hyundai Sonata cleaned/vacuumed. When visiting a car wash, I typically inspect my vehicle after it is cleaned and vacuumed. Upon doing so, I noticed that the cleaning machine had torn off the trim on the passenger-side front (see picture attached). I asked to speak with the location manager, Diego, but he denied that the machine tore the trim off the vehicle. Only after I stated I had proof that the trim was on the car before the cleaning did he agree to review the security camera video footage. After making me wait about 30 minutes while he reviewed the video in a private office, he came out and stated that the video did indeed show the machine ripping the trim off the vehicle. He told me to obtain an estimate to replace the trim and bring it to him so Sparkling Image Car Wash can cover the cost of the damage. I received the estimate (around $140, including labor) from a Hyundai dealer. When I returned with it later, he stated they would not pay for the damaged trim and provided no reason for the non-payment. I filed a complaint with their main office in Fort Lauderdale and received a voicemail from Joshua Key, the South Florida Regional Manager. I returned his call 3 times but did not receive a response. It is apparent to me that, although the Sparkling Image Car Wash location manager verbally agreed to pay for the damage, they never intended to do so. I paid out of pocket for the replacement trim and have since sold the vehicle. Not only has the cost for a car wash/cleaning increased dramatically due to the change in ownership, but they will not honor prepaid car washes paid to the prior owner. Based on the fact that they never paid for the replacement trim, they won't let customers use prepaid car wash coupons from the prior owner, and their pricing is now ridiculously high, I will NEVER RETURN AND RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T have your vehicle cleaned at any Sparkling Image Car Wash location! I repeat, DO NOT USE Sparkling Image Car Wash!!

    Today I went to the car wash. Overall the service was good; yet, for the second time, the person who vacuumed missed a section in the back area. There was a large amount of dog hair behind both seats. An amount that I was able to scoop up with my fingers.

    Receipt proof I paid $34.99 not my fault it was rung up incorrectly.

    Well I came to the car wash before my road trip June 22. The guy sold me an unlimited wash package as I told him I'd be coming back after my trip. The unlimited wash package he stated I could come every day if I wanted to. When I paid for my wash $34.99 I asked the cashier if I needed anything for the next time I come for the free wash she said just keep the receipt. So I put it in my glovebox. Today July 15 I finally made it for another wash. I said here is my receipt I pad for the unlimited wash. He then says to me this receipt is for a one time car wash only. I said can you see where I already paid the $34.99 for the unlimited car wash he said I see you paid $34.99 for a one time car wash if you would like to purchase the unlimited car wash option that'll be $34.99 but we have to put a sticker on your car when you do that. I explained again do you see where I already paid the $34.99? He says maybe he misunderstood you that you wanted the unlimited package. You were rang up for a one time car wash only. However based on my conversation with the gentleman when I first came in for the unlimited package he did not misunderstand me. I also have no idea what the cashier may have thought I was referring to when I was asking about coming back for the next free car wash? Instead of simply telling me to hang onto my receipt if she didn't understand my question maybe she should have asked what I was referring to since she rang me up obviously knowing she was ringing me up for a single car wash. The other car wash down the street also offers unlimited package I am going there instead I'm not paying another $34.99 again for an unlimited car wash package that I may never get. It's unfortunate because I love buying greeting cards at this place I had even told the cashier at the time they have the best card selection. However I am not coming back to this location if they don't honor their word.

    In my 39 years, I have lived in three different states and this is by far the best car wash I have ever used. Christian, Freud, Nicholas, Carlos and Eddy our great staff members and make all the difference. Apart from the awesome team, their attention to detail to my Land Rover has been perfect. You can always tell when a local business is a well oiled machine when the general manager is involved in the daily operations too, thank you guys and gals very much!

    I love this car wash !! I found this place maybe a year ago and still go. I don't like subscriptions but I do have the $40 monthly unlimited washes, which is worth it to me. Every employee there is super efficient and hard working. Their lines do get super long which is a downside if you're on a time crunch. Very nice car wash that's consistent and thoroughly cleans my car.

    Took my truck to for a wash waited 30 minutes and they damaged the ceramic tint on the drivers window. I immediately noticed and management took no responsibility. Awful experience.

    Just left. Purchased "best" wash for $40+$10(tip). Regret didn't check since they were good before. Check pictures. Mirror is disgusting-can't take picture. Stay away from frustration

    Not impressed. My husband and I went here to get our cars cleaned. It's close to where we live, and we always see it super busy. I highly suggest trying just them out before you go investing in the monthly deal for unlimited car washes. We had a package that was for the inside and outside of our cars. I don't remember all the bullets, but neither one of our cars were completely wiped down inside, there were areas missed with the vacuum, our rims.... disgusting! Only the exterior part was wiped down with tons of dirt still showing on the inside. Our cars also had tons is missed spots from sap or bugs and none of it was cleaned away. The pictures speak for themselves! #notimpressed First and last time customer. Lmk if you have any good car wash places in the Plantation area too recommend!

    These photos are my car after my "wash"..... car looked so bad like they didn't even wash it. My boyfriend thinks they didn't even drive it through the wash lol. Do not go here! Save your money. Gas station wash drive thru is better than this..

    See all

    Great service always! I would not go anywhere else. They…read moreoffer rain checks too! Fast and great service.

    TLDR: excellent work, Immaculate services and genuine customer servoice but long wait times…read more I first came by Davie Auto Spa in April to get a full detail, my large dog slobbers a lot, and my car was in desperate need of an interior shampoo. I was told it would take about half an hour, which surprised me for a shampoo, but I had just come from the gym and hadn't eaten, so I figured I'd wait it out, read my book, and head home. Well, it ended up taking 2.5 hours. Thankfully, I didn't have anything else scheduled that day. Multiple employees checked on me throughout and were incredibly kind and attentive. Eventually, Jamal( the person who had checked me in) came over and sincerely apologized, taking full responsibility for the delay. He gave me a $100 gift card and told me I could use it or even gift it to someone else, but he wanted to make it right. Of course, I still tipped the workers, after all, they did an amazing job. My car had never been that clean. I returned in August to use the GC and noticed they'd added more outdoor seating and some cute landscaping. I came on a Sunday morning and let them know I only had about an hour and fifteen minutes, as I had an appointment. When I asked what I could get with my $100 card, the employee went to get Jamal himself. I opted for the $99 interior complete and offered to cover any tax, but Jamal replied, "No ma'am, we owe you this." That response speaks volumes. This visit did end up running a bit over, about 10:50 to 12:10 so I'd advise others to be prepared to wait if you're getting more than a basic wash. I'd personally rather be told a longer estimate upfront, but I understand they may not want to deter customers. That said, their quality of work is worth the wait IF you know about it ahead of time. I debated leaving out the original scheduling mishap, because I imagine most customers have seamless experiences. But honestly, the way they handled that mistake impressed me even more than if it had gone perfectly. This place isn't cheap, and it isn't fast but their work is absolutely unbeatable.
