This car needs it!
Kai D.

Conveniently located in the prime locations of good food , shops & entertainment. I needed a quick wash & vacuum. The vacuums suction were so strong in fact it sucked up one of a missing pair of my son's sock! Good staff that are inventive & respectful. Definitely will come here for future washes :)

I came to Wash Factory Express twice in the same day, to wash my car second, and my girlfriend's car first on a very lovely Sunday afternoon. While Wash Factory is a drive in wash, there is also valet drivers too, who will drive your car through the wash for you. I'm not sure of the price of this because I drove my cars through both times myself. If you've never used a service like this before, it's very simple. Just pull up to the automated screen at the drive up entrance, select your wash and choose whatever features you want associated with the wash. Once you've selected and paid, you sit in a que until you're told to proceed. There are multiple packages you can buy, both I chose the buckhead special ($20) which includes everything Wash factory has. What's everything? Basic wash lava bath Lava shine lava seal Triple polish Bug prep rain repellant Hot wax and shine Buff Wheel cleaner tire shine Under body rinse There's a lot of stuff for a a wash, and a great price! My experience was fantastic both times. Both times I didn't take advantage of the vacuum stations due to the crowds, but my experience was great, and the cars were both left nice and polished. I wish I had more to say about the interior of the building and additional customer service, but in my case, I never got out of my car. For the wash and time waiting for my car to be washed, I was very happy. The only thing that was annoying, which isn't even the fault of Wash factory, is when you exit and try to turn left, it's a bit of a blind curve in a sense and people come around it FAST. It may take some time to get out if you're heading to the right. Again, not a Wash Factory problem! So if there's a car you need clean and you're in the area, you may give Wash Factory Express a shot.

I've always been a fan of self service car washes and the Atlanta Car Wash Factory of Buckhead does not disappoint. This place is located off Roswell RD in the same parking lot as The Ivy bar; just down the road from my house so it is very convenient to hit up when the ride needs a little polishing. The best part about this place is they have free vacuums with every wash which is super cool I think. Its very fast, just pull up and pay then drive through the wash; after you are out pull over to the free vacuums and clean out that dirt from your floor boards, dash, seats, etc. ACWF of Buckhead offers washes starting at $4 for the Express wash and going up to $10 for the Exterior Supreme. I usually opt for the Express that includes a wheel blaster rinse, soft cloth wash, spot free rinse and blow job. The Exterior Supreme gives you a lot more, but we live in a dirty city so why waste the money; unless you are planning cruising down the strip and want to bling bling.

This is what my car looked like AFTER the car wash.  'Nuff said.

They didn't wash my car thoroughly, nor did they offer to refund my money after I complained. Had I known I was buying a substandard car wash, I would have never forked over my credit card. I've been coming here for years and never had a problem before. If they can't promise a clean car with the options they offer, that's on them. Sad. I'll take my business elsewhere. For your own good, stay away and find another customer-friendly car wash.

Soft cloth wash

Good value and great vacuums. Especially since LUV car wash down the street changed ownership.

Excellent car wash. The wash cleans my car well and the prices are good. The floor matt cleaner does a great job along with the vacuum.

Rude employees that shout at you. Very unpleasant experience. Decent value for the wash, but won't be back because of the poor attitudes.

Good value, and was able to get in and out even on a super busy Sunday afternoon.

Short version: I took my car for a hand wash and wax at Auto Spa Bistro for the first time today,…read moreSaturday, June 21, 2025. I left a happy customer. Therefore, I plan to return for my next wash and wax. Will I have the same experience next time? I hope so. Long version: Based on today's experience, I give Auto Spa Bistro a solid four stars. I researched this place before bringing my car here. On both Yelp and Google, reviews are all over the place. On Yelp for example, Auto Spa Bistro currently has a 3.2-star average rating with 162 reviews. Reviews are polarized with mostly 5-star and 1-star reviews. So, I knew I was taking a roll of the dice. Today, I got lucky. This place has been around for a while. The first Yelp review was posted in March 2012. The business has stood the test of time. I've lived in the neighborhood since 2001. This place is often busy on the weekends when the weather is nice. Knowing this, I showed up around 9:15 AM, shortly after they opened (9:00 AM). I pulled my car into the lot and was seen immediately by John and manager Mike. Mike told me that a hand wash and wax (outside only) for my car, a mid-size sedan, was $100. That was consistent with what I saw on Auto Spa Bistro's website for 2025 prices. I agreed to the $100 wash and wax. John worked on my car. The payment process was interesting and consistent (at least, partially) with what I read in reviews. First, John wrote "$50" on one of those paper restaurant "guest checks" and told me to pay inside. Then, he said I could tip when I paid inside or tip later via Apple Pay or Cash App. I asked if he had Google Pay or Venmo and he said no. I agreed to Cash App since I wanted to see the finished product before tipping. Inside is a small bar and lounge. I wouldn't really call it a restaurant, though they do provide sit-down service. You're either at the bar, high-tops, or sitting in lounge seating. They have a lot of TVs. There was only one person working inside at the time of my visit: Nia. She was the bartender/server and took everyone's initial payment at the bar. Kind of funny paying for a car wash at a bar. She printed out two receipts: one went back to her and the other, stamped "paid," went to John. Nia was very nice. I read in some reviews that you're not allowed to sit inside unless you order food or drink. That wasn't the case this morning. Other customers and I sat inside without ordering anything. However, this may have had to do with the time of day and how busy they were. Maybe they restrict inside seating during peak times. I also spent time waiting outside on the patio. You can watch them wash cars from both inside and outside. However, if they're doing more detailed work like waxing, they'll pull your car to the side where it may be out of view. John finished my car in just under an hour. He did a great job. I was impressed with his combination of speed and thoroughness. I'm very particular about my car. I used to detail it myself for many years. I've also had many different detailers work on my car over the years, so I know the commonly-missed and difficult spots. John is up there with the best to have worked on my car. The only spots he missed were certain corners on my wheels. All the other detailers have missed these spots as well. Not a big deal. It's a nitpicky thing. Overall, my car looks fantastic. I want to mention two things I really appreciated about John: 1. He used "black shine" on the bottom molding/trim of my car without me asking. This is something that I used to do myself, but got tired of asking detailers to do (cumbersome). When I walked up to my car and saw that he had done that, I was so happy and taken aback a bit. It showed he has an eye for detail and he's considerate. 2. I had the oldest, crappiest car on the lot: a 2001 Volkswagen with about 305,000 miles on it. If you've driven by this place, you know they wash a lot of fancy cars. Not mine. Other cars during the time of my visit included two Porsches, a Lexus SUV, one of those giant, nice-looking pickup trucks, and a recent-model Corvette. Yeah, my old car was outclassed and stood out like a sore thumb. I say this because John still treated it like the other cars on the lot, with care and priority. I really appreciated it. Another thing I appreciated was after John was done washing my car, he pulled it into the shade to do the wax job. Cars shouldn't be waxed in direct sunlight because the heat causes the wax to dry too quickly. They used carnauba wax, same as me. I was curious how they were going to handle the wax portion and they "passed." Again, as someone who used to do this myself, I appreciated all of this. When it came time to pay the outstanding balance and tip, I was confused. I ended up paying one of the other workers $75 via Cash App (he and John agreed to settle up). So, $50 went to the business inside via credit card and $75 "to John" outside via Cash App (remaining $50 for the service plus $25 tip from me).

It was a great unexpected surprise to get some good food at this establishment. I was very grateful…read moreto know that I could get my car washed and get something to eat at the same time.
