    Great service and do magnificent work. Had my car looking brand new. I recommend 10/10

    Came to this location today to her a car wash and an oil change. Upon arrival they have two lanes to get into the car wash there was someone going around asking cars what they wanted I assume because he walked right past our car and went inside. Now because of his mistake we had to let 5-7 cars go ahead of us because we pulled to the side to go inside and ask what we should do. If I rated my experience solely off his attitude I would not rate them a 4!!! The young lady at the front desk was polite and helped us with two different transactions. The gentleman that did the oil change was honest about advice and provided good service. Clean. My car is clean and they did do a good job. They did not clean the middle console which we understood why overall we were satisfied.

    5/17/23. I've been using this car wash for years. I've also had my oil changes performed here for years. I visited today and was told that a "Groupon" that I purchased about a year ago was no longer accepted and they refused to honor it. I purchased 6 washes and they provided me with 6 cards to use for each individual wash. I used the same card less than a month ago with no issues. Today I tried using the last one. A manager came out and after explaining my situation, he stated that the car wash is operating under a different name. After 2 minutes of internet research, I came to find that the car wash is still owned by the same company and they just changed names. After arguing with me, he refused to place my mats and other items back where they were and he told me to leave after I said I was not paying any additional money to get the wash I had previously paid for. Now I know it's just a car wash and they're a dime a dozen, and I also hate leaving bad reviews, but I feel that this one was warranted. All that had to be done was to provide me a courtesy and accept the card that I was previously provided after paying for a service. Now, they lost a car wash customer and an oil change customer. I'm sure this will not affect their bottom line in the least, but in todays financial climate, why would you want to alienate a customer, any customer?

    Still dirty :(

    I purchased a groupon for 3 The works which includes interior vacuuming and something called a blow out external wash and wax and rain x and tire shine. Well this is not the full gambit or hard core cleaning but I did expect to walk I to a clean car no dirt or crumbs have them clean my dash window. So they vacuumed and had me pull my car into the wash for sanitation purposes. When I walked back into my car o saw some sort and crumbs no big deal figured after the wash they do another pas through. I was encouraged to stay in my car and they wiped it down shined the tires and wiped my side windows while I was in it and said done. I had to go inside and ask for them to clean the inside of my car like I pod for the. They had me exit and did a proper cleaning of the interior. I will use my other two groupons but not looking forward to the next clean. A bit disappointed.

    Ask before you pop someone's mirror open , stupid

    Stupid lady doesn't know Tesla mirrors are automatic. Literally popped my mirror turning it. They don't even ask and they don't understand English.

    Came to this location for another oil change and cash wash and hoping services would be improved, but nothing has changed. The car wash line still mixed up with the oil change line without any signage for clarification purposes. The weekend traffic was horrible even though we tried to go in as early as 10:30 am. When we got onto the line, nobody came to greet us. We waited for about 15 minutes before someone came to tell us that there would be a longer wait for oil change. There is no way to do an oil change in 10 minutes at this location on weekend. Once they drove my car in to do the oil change, the staff zoomed out with my car and brought it to the car wash line without telling us. The car wash wasn't great either. Since it was included in the oil change package that we got, we did not expect much. There was still dirt on the windshield and no cleaning for interior at all. Spent about an hour to just do oil change and car wash. Very disappointing and most likely would not come back again.

    Sent my car to get detailed,  came back with this nice scratch which no one took responsibility for.

    I've been coming to this place since it was called "Squeaky Clean". I got regular car washes, oil changes and detailing done here. I've never had an issue which is why I was open to driving 30 minutes. I recently went there for a detailing ($200). I was left with a 12" scratch on my car. After bringing it the attention of the staff and manager, they did not want to accept their negligence. The manager advised that I call the following day to meet with his boss. I called the following day and I was told that the boss was not there. The manager (Elmir) stated that he has my phone number and would let the boss call me. I have yet to receive a phone call. They also had the audacity to tell me that it was there prior to dropping the car off. I would like to note when I dropped the car off. NO ONE came out to see the car. NO ONE came to identify any scratches on the car. I was told to park the car and leave the key with someone in the detailing shop. All in all, Rainbow/Squeaky Clean (whatever the new name of the car wash is) left me with no answers and no assistance for the scratch caused on my car while it was in their care. Highly disappointed and I will never be returning after being a loyal customer for almost 5+ years.

    Paint chipped off from machine.

    Paid for the $45 wash, interior and exterior and could not be more disappointed. While the car was in the machine to be washed, there were scratches on both sides of my Jeep. When I talked to the owner, he answered very rudely and said that the scratches had been there for years! The thing is that this car is brand new, and the scratches were not there. After I told him this, he didn't respond and just walked away! For $45 this was not a good at all. Parts of the car aren't even cleaned properly! The part in which the wheel sits is still completely dirty still! There are parts where the paint has chipped which had not been there. A very kind worker, offered help to remove a large scratch with a buffer. Do not recommend.

    Swirl marks
    Romeo M.

    Picked up my car and was very disappointed on the work done to it. I have swirl marks all over the car the paint feels very ruff and sandy as if the compound still on it. No wax was put on the car at all. Water makes on mirrors and widows and the cup holder look like that haven't been touch. I honestly feel like my car was just wash and vacuumed value of $25. I have gotten cars done in the past never have I ever seen such poor work.

    Locked my car inside after I mentioned

    The best car was for the price. They get every single spot inside your car with the air gun and vacuum cleaner.

Whenever I am on Long Island, I budget extra time to bring my baby, um- my car, in for some pampering. The staff is quick and efficient, and the service is unbeatable. They clean everything! A reasonably-priced basic wash includes vacuuming, windows cleaned inside and out, dash and console are wiped down, and door & truck sills are dried. For another couple of bucks, you can have the trunk vaccumed or the tires shined...there is a menu of a la carte services to choose from. They even take the extra second or 2 to hook the floor mats, rather than just tossing them back on the floor...a pet peeve of mine that other car washes do. On my last visit, I was pleasantly surprised to see they use an air gun to dry the hard to reach places like behind the side view mirrors...ingenious! No more drops when you drive away:-) The owner is a nice guy and very meticulous about the care each car receives. He carefully checks over each and every vehicle before it leaves the lot. He obviously loves what he does and cares about the service his customers receive...and it shows. Plan to be here for at least 15 minutes if it's not crowded, longer if there is a line. It's worth it. You will not be disappointed, and your car will look new inside and out :-)

And I will always find an excuse not to go. Sigh. Okay so I got very comfortable going to the basic "gas station car wash" but the other cars I had always looked very dingey and with paint swirls after. So being that I have a new vehicle I decided to try hand wash in the hopes that would help keep the paint on the automobile fresh. I was very pleased with the work that was done here at Miracle My mini suv is still sparkling like it just rolled off the showroom ! Keep in mind for the prices on the signs when you pull in it's +4$ for anything bigger than a sedan.

I guess reading is fundamental (RIF) because I missed the sign which directed me to the entrance which was around the corner. Only one car before me. I told them what kind of wash I wanted, and he offered inside but I told him no. I don't like strangers in my car so for him to get in and out was fine with me. The attendant directed me inside and I saw that they have an operational restroom along with supplies for your car. The weather matts really come in handy this time of the year. I paid for the wash, left a tip and received a bonus card for a perk at the end of the bonus term. Maybe 10 washes, I just took the card put in my pocket and went on my merry way. They do offer a discount after a certain time. You can see the pictures for the exact time of discount. This was a hassle-free car wash with a pleasant staff. All the more reason to ....
