    I was looking for a place that does car wash by hand. Sunset Auto Spa located at 360 Taunton Avenue…read morein East Providence came across in my research. There was even a Groupon for One Deluxe Exterior Hand Wash for SUV for $19.99. We snagged the Groupon deal. The following was included: Soft lamb's wool mitt hand wash, Complete chamois hand dry, Deluxe wheel wash, and Ultimate glossy tire shine. When we arrived, we showed our Groupon and were told to wait. Another man came and I showed him the Groupon on my phone and was redeemed. Service was quick and they mostly did a good job, but there were some streaks that were not fully cleaned. It seems to be a popular spot since there was a car ahead of us and a car came after us.

    Do not let them touch your vehicle. We took our RV in for cleaning and waxing. I stopped in to make…read morean appointment and get a price. He quoted me $530, when I showed up for the appointment it went up to $2400. He said he didn't realize I wanted it waxed. He came down to $1200 when I said I wasn't going to pay that and said some special wax he was going to use on the front to help with the bugs costs him $550 (bs). When I went to pick it up they didn't use the 303 cleaner/wax which I provided on the fiberglass roof. Then I see they broke the windshield. The boss isn't around. I went back the next day wondering what did they hit it with, it would take quite a force to break this. The boss acted like he had no clue and said let's look at the video surveillance. He all of a sudden left to look at a picture one of the employees had on his phone. It showed the worker standing on a pallet on a fork lift truck pointing to the crack. My thought was there is what hit the windshield and why is he on this next to the RV when there is a 10 foot ladder on the ground 5 feet away. The boss then says there, it was broken before and you couldn't see it because of the bugs. The crack is right in front of the drivers seat, you couldn't miss it. Three days later it rains and the white milky oxidation from the roof comes over the sides, this is why I requested them using my 303 cleaner/wax for fiberglass. Now we got the windshield replaced and see the lettering on the front is messed up. One letter is missing and another one is right next to another one, it is suppose to read ALLEGRO. You can see the picture was taken at their business. I can understand accidents happen but when they are not accountable for their mistakes,you don't want anything to do with this business.

    I brought my, new to me, truck in for an interior detailing and tint removal. My top concern were…read morethe tints passing inspections but more so the back window, which you could hardly see out of. They stated they couldn't do much to the rear without ruining the defroster; the whole point of going to a professional is that they could do this. So, seeing out the rear is still difficult. Also, the windows now have a fog. My other main concern was a weird scent in the carpets. I waited a few weeks to post this so the invasive spray they use could dissipate, to tell how good of a job they actually did. The weird smell is still there as if they didn't wash anything at all. If anyone cleans something well a perfume should never be needed. The truck wasn't dirty otherwise but they didn't clean the cup holder that I had spilled something in the day before. Lastly, it was never conveyed to me that they didn't have a waiting room or that it's drop off only; I had the displeasure of sitting in a Dunkin' Donuts for over 4 hours.

    I brought my Charger to Sunshine to add ceramic coating to help prolong the life of the finish and…read moremake cleaning simple. The different types of coatings can be overwhelming to understand but Ray took the time to explain the process to me and what my options were. We set an appointment several weeks out and I set about waiting. Naturally a few swirls and even a scratch appeared while waiting but when the day finally came, Ray assured me he would be able to take care of everything. I expected to be without my car for a week but to my surprise, he said it would be done in just two days. As promised, the car was done in two days and of course, it looked amazing. To the untrained eye it probably wouldn't have looked much different if he'd just washed and waxed it though since it's a brand new car. To me, it looked so much better! The paint was deeper and reflected clearer. The finish looked flawless from every angle: not a swirl in sight. He had also cleaned the interior, coated the glass, and the wheels (including barrels). If that was all he did I would have been thrilled but.... I then received an in-depth explanation of the steps that were taken, the products used, how to care for it, the additional services (both complimentary and paid) that would be done to maintain the coating, and was given additional product for wash and finish. In addition to quality work I received high quality service! Price was exactly as we agreed and was more than fair for the work performed. Final note about ceramic coating - this is not your father's carnauba wax. Water seems to be completely afraid of the paint and it runs off in sheets. Picture below tries to capture it but it has to be seen to be believed!I

    Have you noticed problems at Washville Car Wash on Oaklawn Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island? After…read moremore than two weeks of visits, the rotating chamois drying system still appears to be out of service, leaving vehicles wet and covered in water spots after the wash. In this video, I share my firsthand experience at Washville Car Wash and explain why this ongoing issue is becoming frustrating for customers. When you pay for a car wash package that includes drying, you expect your vehicle to come out clean AND dry. Unfortunately, that's not what has been happening recently. The rotating chamois dryer is a key part of the wash process. Without it, excess water remains on the vehicle, creating water spots and requiring additional drying once you get home. For customers who are paying for premium wash services, this can be a major disappointment. If you're considering visiting Washville on Oaklawn Avenue in Cranston, this video provides a real customer perspective so you can make an informed decision. I also hope management sees this feedback and takes action to resolve the problem and restore the quality of service customers expect. Whether you're a Rhode Island resident, a frequent car wash customer, or someone who values getting what you pay for, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Simple, does a great job. What more can you ask for in a car wash. Looks like it's a brand new car…read morewash so everything is in great condition in terms of wash equipment and vaccums. Super easy access off the freeway as well. I only did the individual wash, so I cannot speak on their membership. I'd come here again for sure, as this is probably the only wash that has been able to properly clean my car's wheels.
