    Ripped of 'T' letter emblem when drying car
    Omar R.

    Went to location on Parmer lane and realized when i got home they had ripped off letter emblems from both sides of my car. Shrugged it off as a mistake and had the emblems replaced Went back weeks later to this location, specifically asked them to be careful with the emblems as last time they were ripped off. They obviously didnt listen as they ripped them off again. Won't be going back to repeat this mistake for a third time.

    We all know that inflation is hitting everyone in their pockets, meaning that we will be paying more for essential things in life but what I don't understand is how a mom and pop car wash will go up in price when the major car wash businesses price are around the same price. If you're going up in price the work and product should greatly improved... I will go out of my way to go back to genie car wash, where I know what I'm getting charged up front and not before I have to pull in. Don't take advantage of the inflation issue because you will lose businesses just for trying to gain a few more dollars when you don't need to... Greed is a terrible thing to get consumed by. I paid your price this time but it will be the last time.

    This place is not worth it. They charge close to $80 and leave your vehicle with water marks, stains, and bugs. The service sucks, people are just laughing when you mention something you noticed on your vehicle.

    Damage they left.

    They used to be really good for a fair price but as prices went up, the quality went down. Used to go 2-3 times a month and had a few waxes done but one day they left loads of scratches in the clear coat on the entire driver side of the car. After I brought it to their attention and showed the staff an example of what I was speaking of on the hood they only buffed that area of the hood even though I expressed it was the entire driver side. I felt like they could identify me/my car so as to not think I was trying to get anything free but that visit was the last. Had to perform an entire color correction on my car after that... Sadly loyalty and quality is not a thing here- at least not any more

    waiting deck under trees, and the exit of the car wash- no machinery though.

    See all

    Cost seemed pretty standard for the amount of work they put in and inflation.

    I came in specifically because I wanted a hand wash and needed extra care taken around my emblems…read more-- I've had them broken at car washes before, so I made a point to ask before handing over my keys. The staff assured me they'd be careful and that it wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, the emblem was broken anyway. Now I'm looking at $100+ to replace it directly through Ford. That's not a small ask for something that was explicitly flagged and promised to be avoided. I don't think it was malicious, and the staff was friendly throughout. But when a customer flags a specific concern and gets a direct assurance, the expectation is that it gets communicated to whoever is doing the work. That handoff clearly didn't happen here. Hopefully this is useful feedback for the team. I'd just caution others with sensitive trim or emblems to keep that in mind before booking.

    We just left and are Really disappointed with our experience at Barton Springs Car Wash. We brought…read morethe car in for a full detail and ran into problems at every step. 1. They broke something in the car. 2. The detail itself was sloppy -- half the marks inside and out were still there when we picked it up, despite specifically asking for a thorough job. 3. Their posted price inside the building is $165. They charged us $220 with no explanation for the upcharge. 4. They quoted 2 hours. It took 3. Won't be returning. Photos showing just a few of the things gone wrong here.

    Rafael, I have made…read moreseveral good-faith attempts to resolve this matter directly with you regarding the damage to my Porsche key that occurred while my vehicle was in your care. Immediately after the service, the key was found to have water inside it. I returned to the car wash the same day, showed you the key, and you observed the water yourself. You mentioned that you would review your cameras and get back to me. Since then, I have provided you with Porsche's inspection, the repair estimate, and the dealership's video documenting the damage. Despite multiple text messages and phone calls, I have not received any meaningful response or resolution. The cost to replace the damaged key is $800. I am requesting reimbursement of $800 within 7 days of this message. Payment can be made by any mutually agreed upon method. If I do not receive payment or hear from you within that time, I will proceed with filing a claim in Texas Justice Court (small claims court) without further notice. I will also seek reimbursement for any court filing fees and other costs allowed by law. I would still prefer to resolve this amicably and avoid legal action. Please contact me within the next seven days so we can close this matter. Alex Ruiz

    I was a member for about three months and visited around 10 times. Pricing is competitive, but the…read moreservice issues far outweigh that. On multiple visits, I watched staff drive customer cars recklessly -- flooring the gas on a cold engine before it had a chance to warm up. When I asked one attendant to stop, he told me he was 16 years old. I have real concerns about who's operating expensive vehicles here and whether there's any real training or supervision. They also lost my car key during a visit. I found it myself, sitting in a puddle of water on top of the engine, inches from falling into the engine bay. It hasn't worked reliably since. When I raised this, staff couldn't communicate with me in English and nothing was done about it. The final straw: I was yelled at by an attendant while pulling in, then told to pull forward -- directly into the path of another attendant who was pulling a customer's Porsche out of a stall. Had I followed the instruction, I would have hit that car. This is a serious safety and management failure. I've canceled my membership and can't recommend this place. Between the lost/damaged key, unsafe driving of customer vehicles, and staff who told me directly they were underage, I'd steer clear.
