We're in town visiting and had a windshield full of insect carcasses from the drive. Shelia, who was working the entrance, walked me through the options and how everything (coffee bar, wash, vacuum) worked. It was such a fun experience and the car came out SPOTLESS! After the wash, I stopped briefly at the vacuuming station, but noticed there were separate detailing stations available. If I lived nearby, I'd definitely consider a membership.

It occasionally gets a little out of calibration. This week however it malfunctioned and the suv just ahead of her got stuck for some reason. Her car wash pushed into the back of the Lexus and damaged the radar system camera and front grill and bumper. They are now telling me that the customer was at fault, and that he had put on his brakes. He did not as is clearly seen on my wife's dash cam. The estimate from the collision center is almost 4k. The driver of the other vehicle refused to exchange information. My wife couldn't apply her brakes because they had sent another car in close behind her. If they accep responsibility I will come back and change my review. You don't always know who you are doing business with until there is a problem.

Charlie's Car Wash provides me a consistent, top-notch level of service each time I come by. Sure, I could do the wash myself, but when time is an issue and I'm going to get the same result, I will pay for the convenience factor. I signed up for one of the unlimited monthly wash plans ($40-ish) and I have absolutely gotten my money's worth out of that contract. I just pull up to the gate, the system recognizes my license plate and pulls up my options, and I drive right over to the entryway. The whole process takes maybe one minute from entry to exit. If I want extras, such as a hand detail, then I am given an option to tag that on to my overall order. The vacuums are free, they are easy to pull into, and there's always one open. You can always add a hand-detail option for $25-ish and I'd bet you would be very pleased with the level of detailed service that is provided! I know that some people can be finicky about who touches their car, but I feel pretty safe that my sweet ride gets treated carefully and mindfully each and every time. No fuss, no muss, and everyone is always friendly. Maybe a monthly subscription isn't in your range, but it's a deal if you are going weekly or more (like me) and gets my full seal of recommendation. Either way, Charlie's treats you right and delivers excellent service and value.

Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience and opinions…read more On Friday, December 12, 2025, I visited Charlie's Car Wash in Independence, Missouri, to wipe down my car mats using towels. A manager whom I had previously worked with about seven years earlier explained that spray bottles could not be taken outside due to company policy, but that towels were permitted. I followed those instructions by taking only two towels outside and returning them immediately afterward. During the interaction, the manager repeatedly asked where I currently work and mentioned that we had worked together years ago. In my perception and personal opinion, those questions did not seem related to the policy being discussed and made me feel uncomfortable. Based on my personal perception and prior experiences, I left the interaction feeling uneasy and concerned about why my current employment was being discussed. I cannot speak to the manager's intentions, but the repeated questioning made me uncomfortable enough that I decided to share my experience. I hope management encourages interactions that stay focused on the service being provided so customers do not leave feeling similarly uncomfortable.

This location will vacuum out your car for you as an extra option where other locations I have been to did not. Very clean waiting area with vending machines. I think it's very reasonably priced to be able to go multiple times a week for a fee. I think they do a great job with handling large volumes of cars on weekdays but harder to manage on weekends. I love Black Ice scent air freshener scent but they tend to only have new car scent here. I think having an option to vaccum your self would be nice.

However, my experience today was extremely disappointing. I stopped by in the evening after picking up food and brought the bag inside with me while I waited. I placed it on one of the lobby chairs, and when I went to grab it, bugs started coming out of nowhere. When I looked closer, I realized all of the chairs were infested with bugs. It was honestly shocking and unacceptable for a place that serves customers in a waiting area. Because of this, I had to throw away about $70 worth of food I had just purchased, which was incredibly frustrating. Cleanliness--especially in customer seating areas--should be a basic standard. I've been a loyal customer, but this experience really changed my perception. The facility, especially the lobby seating, needs immediate attention. Please replace or thoroughly clean those chairs and address the bug issue. Very disappointed.

I suggest canceling, using the rest of your month, and signing up in-store after 30 days." Rather than addressing the situation or offering a solution, GM Tommy Lityma simply explained what I could do, ignoring the fact that I followed through in good faith. I lost the promotion.

I've had a Club 66 membership since last August, and while the unlimited plan does save me money…read morebecause I wash my car at least twice a week, the overall experience is frustrating. The lines are consistently long, especially the member or fast pass line. I don't feel like the "fast pass" is actually any faster. In fact, I regularly watch cars in the single-wash line get through quicker. I end up waiting 10-15 minutes just to reach the entrance, which is honestly ridiculous for a membership lane. Another major issue is how closely they space the cars once you get onto the belt. One visit, the car behind me rolled forward and rear-ended me, which pushed me into the car in front of me. The car wash claimed no fault. If the cars weren't placed so close together, this probably wouldn't have happened. It just doesn't feel safe. They also power wash every car coming in, which slows the line down even more. The wash itself is fine and comparable to other car washes but the process and flow is slow. I've used other Club 66 locations around the city and they move much faster. Unfortunately, this particular location always seems to take the longest and feels the least organized.

I truly wish I could give a more positive review, but my experience as a Club Car Wash member in…read moreGrain Valley, Missouri over the past year and a half has been disappointing. Both the service and the overall wash quality have declined noticeably during this time. One ongoing concern is the lane system. There is a designated lane for members and another for non-members, yet the non-member lane often moves faster. Since vehicles are alternated one-by-one between lanes, the member lane -- which is typically much busier -- ends up backed up. It may be more efficient and fair to allow several member vehicles through for every non-member vehicle. I've also noticed a decline in wash quality. My car often needs to go through twice just to look clean, even when it isn't very dirty. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes that improvements can be made, as I would love to see this location return to the level of service it once offered.

They have hot water for washing and rinsing, which is a huge place in the winter time. The price for what you get seems to be fair with self service. I went on a Thursday night and the facility was in quite disrepair. Two of the bays were closed had cones blocking them. The automatic wash was closed as well. There were four or five employees running around doing something or other. There were a couple guys sitting on stools doing nothing. I worked at a car wash. We didn't have stools. When things were broken, we fixed them instead of sitting around. Maybe things are different now. The potential for a really great experience here, but I didn't have one. I will give them another shot. Maybe it was an off night.
