I want to let current customers and potential customers know the horrible experience I had yesterday, June 8, 2026. I was in shock the way I was treated by the manager of the Forest Hill Avenue, Richmond, VA location. I was verbally abused. He caused me out and threatened me! I was on the belt and he asked me to follow my window down and he called me every name in the book and said he could come for me later. I rolled my window up he finally started the belt up again. I drove off and Immediately reported him. As a loyal customer I am very disappointed and will never return to any Tommy's locations. After being threatened by a manager I feel very uncomfortable. I want to get the word out. I will not give my name of fear of what the manager might due since he has my address on file. read more

Best carwash ever! Chris (: and the rest of the crew are outstanding! Great attitude, clean environment (the water does not stink). They even have a free floor mat cleaner. Awesome! I don't go anywhere else. Tommys is the place to be! read more

Attendant who helped me was very helpful and friendly. This location is fairly new, so it's clean and everything works well! Will return again when I am in the area read more

The last few times I have gone through there was no one to guide me onto the belt. I feel that should be someone's job or I thought so anyway. I think my car was not on the belt today when I went through. read more

The water here is nasty and smells like an old musty old rag...don't do it to your car!

Paid for the "works" and left with scratches along the sides of my new vehicle. When I showed it to them, they tried to gaslight me by saying it could not have been their machines because the scratches weren't horizontal. So, I will just attach pictures. You decide. Are these horizontal scratches? They claimed later that they did an internal audit and that it couldn't have been their machines so they are trying to do literally nothing to remedy their damages. It is just icing on the cake that my car is still not clean after going through the car wash (not pictured). If you want to try them out, take numerous close-up photos before and after. read more

CJ is cheerful and smooth talking. had me rethink how much my daughter enjoys the car wash and set me up with a month to get a wash when ever in need. he's good. read more

First time here. My car really needed a wash. Usually I go to my local gas station, but I had heard good feedback and the car wash is always busy. So I thought I'd give it a try... As with most car washes, there is a range of wash options. I went for the "Quality" wash for $6... Great wash! PLUS you can roller clean your floor mats (wet or dry) as well as a ver powerful vacuum system!!! I am impressed!! My car is sparkling!! They also have monthly subscriptions and gift card...so you can share this fab place with friends and family!!! read more

I went there a week ago and paid for the #1 option (the most expensive)... Their machines do a minimal job of cleaning the car. My wheels weren't clean at all, and the car overall still looked dirty. Of course it was better than it was when I went in, but it definitely wasn't clean. When they first opened they were descent. Now its just a waste of money. Maybe they need to replace some of the equipment to get back to those descent washes. Otherwise at this point I feel like I was robbed of my hard earned money. read more

I first heard about this place when I heard their ad on the radio talking about their haunted car wash during October. I decided to go one night, and I liked the kindness of the staff and how they went all out to make their "Tunnel of Terror" something fun to do on a little ole Sunday night in October. I will have to check them out once all the Halloween hype is done with. I found out from my coworkers that they're a pretty decent car wash. read more

Have had a monthly pass here since they have opened. Friday March 8 my fiance ran my vehicle thru and the machine broke the driver side mirror. The employees were apologetic and manager Mike Napier assured her they would take care of the damage to simply provide them where we wanted the work done and they would take care of the situation. My fiance tried getting in touch with Mr. Napier later Friday, Saturday and finally reached him Sunday afternoon and he informed her that "upon further review" their was prior damage (which there was not) and they would not honor their promise to repair/replace the mirror (approx $1200). Place has been great until now and they have not heard the last of this.... read more

I wouldn't pay them a dime to touch my car again. I paid $16 and it doesn't look like it was washed at all. What a waste of money. Edit: The owner's response is great, absolving them of all issues, and not offering to fix them. I would've said something had I not seen "express" car wash and wanting a drive-through. I was two miles down the road before seeing what throwing away money did. And I'm not reaching out to employees (you mean the 1 that was there?), particularly during covid. What a joke. read more

It's a shame that with the technology in this world today, automatic car washes still can't do a $20 job correctly. Don't be fooled by the "newness" of this place, their machines fail at a simple wash job. This was not a caked on filthy vehicle and yet it couldn't manage to properly clean it. Save your money. read more

My first time here at Tommy's at the forest hill location and received excellent customer service from Cj! He made me feel very comfortable and like family, will definitely be a returning customer! Thank you Cj! Can't wait to come back. read more

The employees are who keep me returning. Good customer service...sometimes the wash doesn't fully clean my tires which is annoying but overall decent car wash. read more

Got a 2 free "works" wash in the mail to celebrate their grand opening. Wash experience was great. I imagine that there could be a wait for the vacuums if it got busy. There are about 13 spaces with hoses for each side of your car. Wash was just as good as others. Will come back for the other free wash for sure. read more

Wait time was quite short. I bought the simple car wash option and it did a decent job of cleaning my car. There were some spots(bird feces) that the wash wasn't able to get but I was fine with that. The one downside was getting my paint scratched and chipped. (I expected this to happen at any automatic car wash) Overall I'm satisfied with this car wash. read more

I visited this place since the weather would be nice for the next week. This customer service was very good, the lady that waited on me was very hospitable. I told her I was leery because the Yelp reviews were not that great. I ordered the top car wash for $16. My car was not that dirty. After the car wash I went to the vacuum area. I did not stay as long as I normally would as I was on a tight schedule. My car looked clean for the most part. However, I was wrong I noticed a spot on my door that was still there. As I said I didn't go back because I was on a time schedule and had appointments. I would give them another chance hoping for a better outcome. read more

Tommy's Express® Car Wash - Spot on my door that didn't come off - Car Wash Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I had my Mini Van washed and rushed away from the car wash without vacuuming. At home I noticed the rear was not cleaned at all. I called the carwash. The manager hung up on me after I expressed my dissatisfaction with the car wash. Following up on this issue with their corporate people was even more frustrating. The Tommy's Carwash organization appears not to have any pride in their service and does not care about customer satisfaction. Offering a free car rinse would have kept me as their loyal customer. Never back to them again. read more

I have never been to an automated car wash that did not have an employee making sure you were lined up correctly, so your car and their machines do not get damaged. I waited for five minutes while the employee played with his phone vs helping me. I was actually on the speaker phone myself did not know you could hear the conversation. I told my friend what a lazy worthless person they had hired, and it was a shame how lazy and rude is ok at Tommy Wash. I was asked to leave because it hurt the lazy bum's feelings me calling him out. I had been asking to speak to the manager for months he is never there. I went back three times over a four hour period and he was never there. He finally showed up and could care less did nothing. It seems the employees are allowed to stand around and do nothing while your car gets damaged. If you want your car washed by a company who's manager and employees care more about facebook on their phone vs doing the job they were paid to do does not value your business, then go to Tommy Wash. What they failed to realize is I have been here since 1968 and know everyone in town. Word of mouth will fix this problem. read more

The truck came out very clean and I rarely get this with other car washes. The price is comparable to other car washes.

Such a great car wash! It's so easy and cheap!! Plus you get to stay in the car !! Ö also free vacuums for any kind of clean : staff has always been friendly ; Best car wash ever ! read more

Matthew at the Hull Street location was outstanding. Awesome customer service & very upbeat and courteous. He ensured my experience was the best it could be! read more

This place is great, my only concern is the traffic impacts from this development. Didn't the Plan ing Dept require a traffic study or transportation management plan?! When this establishment is busy, cars are lined up backing out onto the street... not good for oncoming traffic. read more

Two weeks ago I spoke with the Manager on duty in person at this Car Wash about the fact that I purchased a 90 Day Car Wash plan for roughly $ 90. I was charged the $ 90 for 3 months, but I was only allowed 30 days rather than the 90 days. I left my name and phone number with the Manager to find out why I paid $ 90 for access for only 30 days. Even after 2 weeks I still have not heard back from the Manager or from anyone at this location about their ability to resolve their issue and mistake. Tommy's Car Wash is only interested in selling and promising, rather than actually delivering any service or value. They hide behind pawning you off to an out of town phone number for you to resolve their shortcomings and mistakes. You basically have to pay to go through this wash a few times per day in order to get your car cleaned as it would be with one cleaning at other Car Washes like Car Pool and Dave's Auto Spa. Don't waste your time and money at Tommy's. read more

Let me tell you about my experience at Tommy express. After I got my truck washed and while using the vacuums a friend of mine who works at the glass shop next door saw me and walked over to start chatting. We are talking about life and work for about 10 mins before Joesph the "shift manager" came up to me and ask what we were doing. Of course my friend and I looked at him stupidity because obviously we talking. He then proceeds to ask why are we talking here at this spot. (My truck is literally 20 ft away with all four doors open my golf clubs and few other items outside) which we just laughed and said he's at work and we're just talking. Then Joseph has the nerves to accuse me of trying to steal his rusty piece of shit bike.. why would I want to steal his stupid bike when I have a new Silverado? My friend and his manager from the glass shopped walked over and said something because technically Joseph had locked his bike on their fence. So when you think Joesph Is done saying stupid shit, he then has guts to look at my friend and say " why is your nose so red?, are you drugs?" I couldn't believe it, this "manager" had the nerves to call Tyler a drug addicted all because we were having a nice conversation next to his bike that was locked up. I we'll be coming In tomorrow to speak with the owner but as of right now I'll will never spend any more of my hard earn money on this clown operation! Once again the clown Mangers name is Joseph read more

If I could give them none I would. I never get my car washed at places like this but this place opened up down the street from my house and looked all shiny and new so I thought I'd give it a shot. I took my car through the wash and after I was done I got out to spot dry and vacuum and found not just one but a LOT of scratches all over the right side of my hood. After spending quite a bit of time filling out paper work and taking photos I was told they would be in touch with me in 48 hours. It has been a full week. I have emailed them and nothing. They have no phone number on their website. Don't go here. They will mess up your car. read more

Tommy's Express® Car Wash - Scratches all over the hood of my car - Car Wash Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place is my jam! Not only does it look futuristic and retro all at the same time, luring you in like a tractor beam, but it is fast, effective, and inexpensive! Compared to competitors- all I can say is wow! I was a Short Pump dweller for years now a city girl. This place would kick a$$ out in the burbs. I like all the self vacuuming stalls with DOUBLE hoses so you can reach both sides of your car with ease, and you can get a little packet of additional items (drying rag, freshener, etc) dispensed for a few more bucks at the vacuuming area as an option . The main car wash itself is fabulous. My little red car looked great! Thumbs up! read more

Closed for some reason this afternoon, with large red balls blocking the entrance, and no one answering the phones. Don't know if it was a mechanical issue, staffing, or something else. Grand opening coupons expire today - coincidence? Not a good first impression when there are a slew of Car Pool's in the area as an alternative. read more

I really like coming to this car wash. The property is clean! The options you can choose to wash your car are so affordable!

I don't leave reviews of places, but this place is the best. Quick, affordable, and friendly. Leaving a review because of the interaction I had with an employee, Haili. This person gave the sales pitch of a lifetime, and while I didn't sign up for the membership (only cause I don't get my car washed *that much*) she had me sold. I liked this place already, but they made me fall in love today. Haili, if you're reading this - if you keep up that positive attitude and awesome work ethic, I believe you'll have the power to change people's lives! read more

It was an ok wash but the reason I only give 3 stars is because another customer cut in line in front of myself and two other vehicles who were waiting for over 10 minutes for the vacuums. I understand that because of COVID half of the vacuums are closed but they should have had an employee outside directing the flow of traffic which would have prevented this situation and prevented wasting my time waiting for a vacuum for over 10 minutes. read more

Great car wash, great value. My work truck looks clean and bright! The touchless method does the job and the monthly deal is well worth it for keeping my vehicle looking its best. read more

Tried to use my coupon I got in the mail for a free wash and got a charge a couple weeks later for $30. Watch out for the auto charge...

I paid for a # 1 and the person running the wash puts the code in for a #3. Watch the code #as you enter the car wash and say something about it then if it is not the code# you paid for. Or you will have to go back around the car wash get in line in order to get what you paid for, which is a waste of time. The manager wasn't in so I was told, because I wanted the difference back between a #1 and a #3, and was told they couldn't do that. So, I'm writing this review in hopes that manager sees this. The car wash gets a 5 star, however. I feel there is a scheme going on in regards to the codes that are being put in and what you actually pay for. (PS my receipt shows $16.00) read more

My most recent visit started off fine , once I went to vacuum section I was rudely approached by a young boy who stated they only have 5 vacuum spots open due to covid but wasn't wearing any mask, gloves or wiping the vacuum in between customers so if your going to be rude then you should at least be organized and also be in compliance with the "rules" you expect everyone to follow. read more

Really great spot - nothing like it in all of RVA. I like the high tech drive-thru wash - excellent quality - and the free vacuuming and nice people are a plus. Definitely worth a try. read more
