    Hose area is great
    Larry S.

    I was saddened when my branch bank moved from the entrance to my development but very happy to discover that the Tidal Wave was replacing it. Our daughter, who lives in same area, tried it out and brought info back. We were happy to buy a family pass for two cars at just a little more than a single wash. With two young grandkids that accompany us frequently to church, eating out and other activities, we often have various messes in our van. So we make good use of the car wash. But our favorite thing by far is the covered area for inside cleaning. The shade is great for Florida heat. Plus the free vacuum hoses have great suction and long hoses to easily reach anywhere in the van. And there are cleaning cloths and spray cleaners for the dash, seats, doors, windows, etc. A great experience and definitely worth the price! Just a caution - avoid Friday afternoon and weekend mornings as those are very busy times. There are two lines to enter. Right side for those with passes, left side for those without.

    A week after the car wash, you can see the oil film left by the "tire clean".

    See all

    Really enjoyed coming here with my kids. They all seem to work hard to help us and the drying and vacuuming at the end fun to do with kids.

    Great experience every time! Way better than other car wash places. I like the hand drying and vacuum stations.

    I bring my car at minimum once a week but recently with the pollen twice as week.

    On my drive to visit Tampa, I ran into a LOT of bugs. I regrettably used the self-service wash at…read moreUncle Chick's Car Wash to wash my car. The water pressure was so weak that it took nearly 5 minutes just to do the pre-wash. I thought the pressure would get better with the pressure wash, but it did not. I couldn't even effectively spray off bugs from an inch away. I put my hand in front of the sprayer (not advised with a "real" pressure washer), and it felt like a shower head. You can get better pressure from an ordinary garden water hose. I would never recommend this car wash because it took approximately three times as long to complete the job due to the low pressure. Of course, the longer you use it, the more it costs. I moved to a different stall to complete the rinse, but it was not much better. That's how I learned it costs $5 just to get started. In all, I spent nearly $21 to get the worst car wash ever. I was hoping for rain when I left so I could get a proper rinse. I tried to contact the company to no avail; the phone rang on my first call with no answer. Each call after that was met with the old-school busy tone. Customer service was just as disappointing as the equipment. Another major issue is the lack of pricing signs. There was no clear indication of what your total charges would be until you finish. Between the weak water pressure, high cost, poor communication, and lack of price transparency, I would not recommend this car wash to anyone.

    Kind of disappointing. Foaming brush was worn and it had no foam even with repeated moves of…read moreswitch to that position. Pre-soak didn't do much to soften up bugs even after about 5 minutes (yes I put it on first when car was dry). Soapy spray wasn't all that soapy. Rinse took quite a while to spray clear water. The spot-free rinse did work quite well though, and the blow dryer was a nice feature.

    I happened to be in the area when I searched Yelp for a car wash. I chose Earthwash because of its…read morereviews. It's a quaint little car wash, with two sides for servicing, and the entire wash is the size of a Checkers restaurant. They have different levels of washes, and the most expensive is $10. You drive your car through the hall, sit and wait while it does its thing, and you pull out either on to the street or to the size, where there are some vacuums. There was a very friendly worker who helped me with the payment machine and discussed some details about the business. He also handed me a dashboard wet wipe, which is something you can use to clean the inside of your car while you wait. The vacuums are quarter operated. It's $1.50 for 5 minutes. I was looking around for a quarter changing machine, but I did not find one. Luckily I had enough for one session, and that's all I needed to do the floors of my car. The car was is brushless, which wasn't the best route to go with all of the pollen on my car. If your car is very dirty, I wouldn't recommend this wash. If you are here just for a maintenance wash, this is where you can go on the cheap. There is also a pressure washing station on the other side of the lot. I could have used that to wash my car, but I didn't have any more quarters on me. For the price, Earthwash is a nice place to clean your car. Don't expect it to cut through thick dirt, but it will give your vehicle a nice shine for a nice price.

    My wife's car needed a car wash and we decided to try out A Plus Car Wash. We went on a Saturday at…read morearound 3:30 PM and it didn't appear to be too busy. On pulling in we were greeted by an attendant who asked what we needed, and pointed out the various wash packages. We initially asked for the ultimate wash, but realized that we didn't want the Armorall on the inside. The attendant was understanding and said that we could go with the deluxe wash which was the same thing but without the Armorall, so we went with that. Total with tax was $20.32 which we both thought was reasonable. After leaving the car we went inside to pay. Oddly enough, the place sells bottles of wine and greeting cards. I don't know about you, but I don't think I've ever bought greeting cards or wine at a car wash before, so this was a new experience for me. We paid and waited inside for a few minutes (standing room only) before we decided to go outside and sit in one of the chairs on the patio. We waited about 30 minutes for our car to be cleaned, and we were on our way. The technicians did a great job on the interior of the car and we were really happy with the work that they did. Additionally, the technicians at the end of the wash that did the hand dry did a fantastic job making sure we wouldn't have to deal with any water spots. On getting in the car, it smelled really great and just felt so clean. I swear the car runs better after getting washed! I'm going to take my car there tomorrow and get the same wash package that we got for my wife's car. If things turn out as good for my car as they did for my wife's, I'll up this to five stars. Edit: I went back on Tuesday, and they did a really good job with my car. However, we discovered that they did not vacuum out the trunk of my wife's car, so I'm going to leave this at a four. It's not a huge deal, but it's enough to keep this out of five star territory for me.

They were the last people to touch my SUV before I left the next morning at 4am to a long road trip to Atlanta. I only noticed it when I was on the road the next day and was stuck having to listen to radio as my truck is older and doesn't have a Bluetooth connection. I waited to speak to a manager and the manager adamantly stated that no one that works there has an iPhone so no one would steal it. I kept explaining that if it got vacuumed that they should have told me as it's not that expensive to buy a new one. I doubt they vacuumed it because it's not easy to remove from the ac line. This man hung up on me when I said I am more upset that my item was either stolen or vacuumed without anyone telling me as the item only costs $9 and I could have replaced it before my trip. HE HUNG UP ON A PAYING RECURRING CUSTOMER. #1. It's ridiculous for him to state that no one the works there has an iPhone. How does he know what type of phone everyone has? #2. If a customer is stating that the item is missing after leaving, then work with the customer. #3. Extremely unprofessional to hang up on a customer with a complaint about service. They just lost a good customer over a $9 iPhone jack adapter. Also, note that I was giving this place another chance because they are so close to home. The last time I got an oil change and wash here they didn't even clean the inside of my SUV well. I had to beg them to clean the cup holders. When I noticed dust on the panel the "General Manager" told me that they aren't going to wipe the panel because they don't want to mess up radio stations and settings. I've never heard of that before. Years ago this place was great. The "General Manager" has run this place down and you can no longer get good service here. I'll drive further for better service next time.
