Dryers only work about half the time, and you often have to go through a second time to get your car fully dry. The outside staff also needs to do a better job managing the line--cars should be directed to pull up while waiting to keep things moving more efficiently. read more

Wash Hounds - Car Wash Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I went for a car wash. They fraudulently tried to sign me up to a monthly charge of 42$ until cancelled, despite telling categotically I am looking at a one-time service, still they booked my card promising a cancellation of membership right away, with receipt. When I asked for a cancellation and receipt, the MANAGER (I think her name is Missy not sure) yelled at me telling me to shut up and listen to her instead of what I did with their associate before. (Extremely rude and disrespectful). She couldn't find my invoice / receipt or any proof of what she has charged my card or could print for me. And then, she just stamped away, asking me to 'GET OUT' , went away and closed herself up in her office. The employees told me, she is the manager so we can't do anything. Fraud, cheaters, rude, disrespectful and zero sense of customer service or even basic human behavior. Please avoid this place of you don't want to get scammed and be treated like this. read more

The Wash Hounds on 1995 Forest Avenue ( Staten Island) is horrible. On June 24, 2026,Joe who manages the place angrily yelled at me, while in my car waiting on the members only line, simply because I was to close to the lowering rail. He yelled at me while he waved both arms for minutes. He said to go somewhere else because I yelled back that drivers on the non members line drive in and skip members like me. One or two is fine but 5,6,7 cars, no way. He canceled my membership and handed me a receipt as I rolled out of the car wash. Joe, a heavy set man, needs a lot of customer service training. I've seen him before on occasion and he's always yelling at someone.Mostly staff. On this day and under his breath , he muttered a few times,"FU FDNY" cuz I was in my uniform and going home. His ego will need to be deflated. Corporate will be notified because I feel like I was unnecessarily harassed. Hopefully the ownership will see his actions on their cameras. I've been a customer for the last 4 years but I won't go back unless corporate responds. Well, I could always have my twin boys wash the car and up their allowance. $41 a month will go to them for now. Car washes are a luxury these days. Gas & living expenses are too damn high!!! For that one unfortunate day, " NO STAR FOR YOU". There, I feel better!!! Thanks for nothing Joe!!! read more

if I could give 0 stars I would. they cheat you. I subscribed on 31st,October, cancelled on 29th November and they billed me for the following month saying I cancelled after 30 days - who taught the manager at Union NJ Math beats me.. on top of it she was screaming- I don't have to listen to you. you are not my mom, not my manager. Prove you called. And when I showed her, which she refused to see, she was shouting 30 days, I will not give you a dime back read more

Personally I have a very bad experience. I wouldn't go back there anymore. I will not recommend it . Manager is very rude and disrespectful. He opened a membership without authorization.This happened to me at the Boonton branch. read more

They charged me for a membership and then "couldn't find the transaction". Then the lady came out and had a very rude attitude with me. Claims they don't take apple pay but they clearly do as i was charged for it. I don't understand why you get upset with me when you can't find the money that I paid. that is not at all my problem. Overall TERRIBLE customer service. All i needed was an oil change. Will not be back even if they pay me. That lady was extremely rude and disrespectful rolling her eyes and having an attitude with me cuz she had to actually do some work. read more

they are scam artist beware. upon entering the women the the pay station said they are running a 30 day promotion where you get free car washes 30 days. I specifically said I DO NOT WANT ANY MEMBERSHIP HER REPLY NO THIS IS A SPECIAL PROMOTION. two days ago I am going to pay for a car wash the same person says " no your still good just go through " I then receive an alert from my bank for a $40.51 charge. I then go to the car wash and a " assistant manager" wants to show me a bogus print out with my initials NOT MY SIGNATURE I never initialed ANYTHING! I am disputing the charge.DO NOT TRUST THEM, read more

1st time going to Wash Hounds, & what a mistake! Purchased "The Works" $42.00 a month. As we proceeded to pull through, we were told not to get out of the car. Now I know why. We went to get something to eat, as we exited the car, total SHOCK! Left a message, "Unacceptable!" We went through again. When I got out of the car, I said Look, his answer, "It's dirt!" I should've known the first time we went through, a guy stood with a hose, no water pressure, tried to wash one tire, and then went to the hood and windshield, & that was it! Do not waste your time or money! I would be very embarrassed if it were my business. read more

Wash hounds did what they were required to do. A miscommunication occurred where I assumed that wheel treatment was part of the original package I purchased. When I returned the 2nd time I asked the question and was informed that it was not part of the original package I purchased so I decided to upgrade read more

Don't waste your time at the Kinnelon car wash. They make no accommodations for somebody with claustrophobia so you have to go through the car wash. When I mentioned it, my comment got shrugged off. Plus, I have to finish the interior myself with all the smudges left on the inside of the windshield and spots on the dash. Should have said something; just wanted out of there. Not worth the money read more

Stay away from the Wash Hounds car wash on route 22 in Union. The machine took off my bumper and the manager by the name of Misty started yelling at me to move my car and told me they're not fixing anything. She lied to the cops and told them that my car had damage to the bumper already, which is absolutely 100% not true As you could see in the video of someone else's car right after mine got damaged, it clearly shows that that piece of metal that comes out very close to the car takes too long to retract after the light turns green. The green light indicates that you are safe to put your car back and drive which I did. read more

First, I was extremely concerned as I had an appointment and hadn't checked the reviews...pretty much checked them as I was about to drop my car to be detailed and was expecting an eh job. Instead - WOW! just wow - I didn't even recognize my car. I did an interior and exterior detail and the car looks almost brand new. Considering I have 3 dogs (and have had the car for 6 years) without ever doing a real detail - it's AMAZING! I can't get over the difference and am SO happy with results. Worth every single penny. read more

Solo para miembros y las máquinas de lavado tienen graves problemas por poco mantenimiento

To the brother who ran to close out the machine yesterday on 11.1.24 at 6:58 PM as I approached the kiosk that was a classless act to a paying member. I guess because you are not the owner but merely an hourly employee who's likely here today gone tomorrow you don't know the value of good customer service and making your clients feel that their business is appreciated. Your official closing time is 7:00 PM so customers who are in line, or even better at the kiosk prior to this time should be allowed to get their vehicle washed. Instead this idiot said that the guys leave at 7;00 so it's too late to wash meanwhile a car was just going thru the wash. I imagine when revenues are being paid in advance this is how businesses operate - until that revenue is no longer coming in due to bad business practices such as yesterday. To Washhounds Ownership - you are not the only gig in town! Furthermore you need to do something about the rear of vehicles not being washed once they go thru the cycle. I get back home and the rear of my SUV is as dirty as when I went in. This review should easily be ZERO stars if possible. read more

Came in for a oil change got raped it's sad that this place has to rip people off.I was charged more for a so called special oil filter for a cartridge filter that every Chrysler uses what a crock .I suggest not using this place go .

this is for the kinnelon NJ location do not go here. I asked for the exterior only monthly plan for $21 and was billed twice that amount two months in a row. When i called to talk to manager, the lady who answered the phone took my info but told me she had "no idea when I would get a call back" really?? She was nasty and rude and told me to go ahead and dispute the charge with my cc co, which i have already done... Why would anyone go here? Stupid, deceitful and rude read more

got an oil change and it was very quick and efficient, the staff was very nice! 10/10 recommend

Was charged for a membership I didn't sign up for and then didn't pay me back full fee. Was very rude when I spoke to him about it. Keeps charging people monthly after they cancel. read more

I just left the location located in Union. This has to be the worst car wash I've been to. There were no soap on my car, nor did they clean my wheels. If I could I would give it 0 star. I felt like I got robbed of my $20. read more

So after taking my car to get cleaned I notice tape on my mirror. Now I have never had an issue with my mirror prior and have been here before. I speak to Gerald and he tells me after reviewing the tape I didn't leave with tape on my mirror. We then review the tapes to learn one of their workers not only broke my mirror but put the tape that "wasn't there" on my car. I point this out and low and behold my mirror was broke when I got there. I express again that my mirror was fine when I arrived. He tells me come back to speak to the GM. I return the next day to speak to a gentleman who never tells me his name. He tells me the new video they found shows my mirror was not only damaged upon arrival but it shows scratches. I advise I have no scratches on my mirror (see picture #2) but I never had any issues until I came here. He tells me we taped it but didn't tell you because of the rate we work. He proceeds to tell me they are not responsible and never to come back. Please avoid them at all costs. I will be seeking legal action against them. read more

I haven't been to this car wash since before Covid due to one closer to my house...until today. My wife went there and was met at the kiosk by a gentleman who was explaining to her all of their monthly packages and trying to upsell her on things. I was on the phone with her as she was listening to his explanation of things. I told her not to buy anything until we try it out first as it's been years since we've been there. He did explain to her "we have installed self service vacuums due to customers complaining about us not doing a good job on the interior, so now you can do as you please with that" I didn't think anything about it thinking it was merely just there as a back up. She bought a single "the works" package for $17.82 and we tipped $3. As she drove up, she was instructed to stay inside the vehicle. Again we thought this was weird but figured maybe they do the interior at the end for some reason. When she was thru the car wash, two guys came up, half way dried her car and walked away! No vacuuming, no interior wipe down! We will NEVER be back to this place! 17.82 for an exterior wash and a half way job of hand drying?!?! Get out of here! A disgrace! We will continue using the car wash we normally go to!! Buyer beware!!!! read more

This is a $30 car wash. They absolutely did not do any of the "extras" listed on the price list... I mean they couldn't even handle the basics of actually cleaning the car. I'm not even being picky, my car wasn't a mess. In fact I usually clean it myself but it's cold and I figured it'd be worth the money. Absolutely ridiculous. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Can I give a 0 rating - or better yet a -5 ? I wish I could because this business is deserving of it. So last week I went in there to do a simple car wash (actually it was the 23 dollar one i think - forgot what it's called). As you can see, by the time my car had come out of the car wash, this is what my rear window looked like. After just a mere "we're sorry this happened" and utter amazement/confusion/concern from their employees, I got the manager in charge at the moment took pictures and such to bring to the police. (1) at no point did the car wash even think to consider to refund me the amount for the car wash. (2) I contacted them again desiring to speak with their owner/regional manager Chris, who to this moment STILL hasn't decided he's willing to spend all of 10-15 minutes to speak to a customer that had this happen. - instead he deflects that responsibility to a supervisor/manager named Steve (who if you read some of the reviews who doesn't have the best of reputations from Yelpers). My experience with him was no different - at a point in our conversation he also began raising his. Voice and yelling over the phone. Totally unprofessional, and unnecessary. *** All this to say y'all - just stay away - the customer service (at least from management and up) is BAD! If need to speak to a manager for anything talk to anyone but him *** The cashiers and other staff were extremely nice even with one of the cashiers giving me a black garbage bag and tape so I could tape it up before I drove home with it. read more

Wash Hounds - How my car came outta the car wash - Car Wash Near Me - Union, New Jersey

My experience here was horrible, though I'm not sure why I expected anything better. I've never had a good experience at an automatic car wash, and this was certainly no exception. I'm not a serial bad-reviewer, and I have to say: the people here are really nice, but the work they perform is abysmal. I was the only person on line, so I politely asked them to spend more time on the interior, and even offered to pay more than the "Works" which is the most that can be spent. The interior now almost looks worse than before I brought the car in. The exterior was average or worse. Don't waste your time. Wash the car yourself, if you care about the outcome at all. If you don't, drop $30 down the drain. read more

I have been going here for 8 plus years. The last few months have gotten so bad I need to find a new car wash. The total service has suffered. I do understand the inside not being perfect due to Covid. But I have had to have the car go through twice just to get it clean. Other days they barely dry it. I pay for the monthly service and do use it couple times a week. But as of late there are no longer any long term employees. They don't care if your a regular or not. I do tip every time I am there. I do miss the old Managemt. Now they have closed for a week for upgrades. That's ok but no one can tell me what happens to our monthly service. Three calls and a visit to car wash and only told "owner has not made a decision". My business has multiple monthly plans. What a waste to lose customers over lack of management. read more

Bad experience today.. their automatic wash equipment is fine, outside of my car looked great BUT the interior cleaning was way below acceptable, especially considering I got "the works" $30 wash. My mats were barely vacuumed, then were thrown on top of my seats where the remaining dirt shook off onto the rest of my car's interior. Cup holders and any pocket areas of the car were untouched. Really disappointed to get back into my car and not feel clean. read more

This car wash must've changed owners within the last few months. I used to be an unlimited member. I have canceled my membership. The service has declined drastically. It is all new workers there. Not one original person there. They used to be great. I don't know how long they will last. I almost feel like this business is a front for something else because they totally don't care anymore. You don't need to believe me just drive by. You could tell by the workers that are there now Just by looking at them and there's no one online anymore. If anyone knows this car wash they would remember the line used to be reaching the white castles on route 22. It's a shame. This used to be one of my favorite car washes and oil change places. Oh yeah that too. Not one original mechanic read more

Been a customer for over five years. I think they do a great job. During Covid they were not able to clean the inside of your car but now I really like that because they installed incredible vacuum cleaners on the side of the building. My car has never had a problem and I keep going back so that should say something. read more

Worst car wash in NJ! They automated the wash by getting rid of people and installing self service kiosk to pay. Every customer has to get out of their car and spend 10 min. trying to navigate the touch screen and pay. After all this and 19.00 and a tip paid at the Kiosk, I went thru the wash only to come out to 1 person to dry every car. My car still had significant road salt on the hood and front end grill. When I complained I was told to pay again for another wash. This place is the worst, if they don't amend their policy I don't see it surviving. Needless to say I won't go back. read more

Would not recommend for a family minivan.  Went for "the works" today because our floor mats really needed a good wash. And the interior needed a vacuum.  The staff seemed nice and when it was done I drove away without checking the back row or trunk. So when i got home i was surprised to see they neglected to wash the floor mat for the last row and the trunk mat.  Not only did they not take care of the 2 mats but it looked like they didnt even try to vacuum the back row.  Also the passenger side dash was dusty and not cleaned well. I ended up vacuuming and wiping down the seats and washing the floor mats they didnt touch.   When we have gone to other car wash places and they say they will clean the mats they clean all of them. Was disappointed at the minimal care for interior. Exterior was fine.  I would suggest if they only do half the floor mats maybe they should change the service from "the works" to "the half ass"  I hope they take in the recent reviews and improve their level of service. read more

I will give no star if it were an option! This place is the worse...after haven been going there for almost 3yrs, the "mgr" who is so full of himself decides it was prudent on his part to call the cops on me for complaining about their system breaking off my rear wiper. Funny thing is I already bought a replacement when no one got back to me a week later as promised. Tells me to leave his premises because I was trespassing when they charged me the Monthly unlimited membership days before. Apparently he has no idea that I had a reason to be there given he has my money. I got my refund, canceled my membership! I often have to further clean the car because they don't do a good job of it (usually they are in a hurry); though I would say it was convenient being on route to my work. Word of advise, as a business in service, work on improving your customer service. Let me add to this review given the nonsense reply... Firstly, the video review was done on Friday and the, Mgr who apparently now no longer works there as of Sunday was going to fix. He said he had to order the parts because all he had was the blades not the arm. He was to call me after he received. Miraculously he no longer works there and you want to give me the run around? Funny how so lovely your comment is on the internet. This place, and take it from someone who went there a while, is not worth your while....and that's to anyone considering your place of business! Secondly, as a matter of principle, I want my broken pieces replaced. Please review your video and let me know when I can get my parts back. Also, my car is parked in my home garage so Noone gets to tamper with my vehicle! Lastly, do yourself a favor and stop responding with lies, because I am ready to continue to call you out on it PS: The people who work for you, including the quick lube attached to your business confirmed, in front of you, that the incident happened there. The broken piece was picked up inside the wash. read more

the pompous, wise ass manager chris b responded to me......what a dick! yes i did have the right location, route 22 union, next to harbor freight an mcdonalds, at 22 bucks for a car wash i dont expect smudges, missed spots on my car, and futhermore i did not tip through the awful kiosk, i went to the tip box and placed the tip inside the box, and again, one car wiper at the end? c'mon........get real! at least 2!!! alright fly-by-night manager of a mickey-go-jimmy carwash........whatever you say, look at all the one star reviews...... so delusional, I'm arguing with a car wash manager who more than likely makes 30 to 40 grand a year....... i made that 30 years ago.... you have a good nite Chris! read more

I got beat for $15 exterior wash, no towel dry no windows.

Never going back....EVER!!!! read more

I had a bad experience with the female manager. I pulled up to go through the wash nobody was around so I beeped the horn to get somebody attention and a female came running out and told me to relax and what was my problem I told her I was sitting here and I was trying to get someone to come out. She rolled her eyes at me went back into the office and cancelled my membership (which I m glad will never give my money over to someone who doesn't show me respect). Bottom line if you don't know how to handle yourself with your customers your in the wrong business. The two managers at the Union location have very nasty hateful attitudes. read more

11/11/2020 Absolutely awful and disrespectful. They do not honor their own advertisement. My son, who is an active member, was told first that we came on the wrong the wrong day (although the signed said veteran's day and clearly it is the 11th), then was told that there weren't any other workers there and finally that he didn't know how to activate the discount on the kiosk.

I have been going to this car wash off and on over the years, but now I'm back for good, I'm usually pretty satisfied with my washes and the one time that I wasn't satisfied they made it right. However, the real reason that I now go here so frequently is because they have Unlimited Wash packages which allows you to get your car washed as many times as you like for a small monthly fee. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I have had 1 mishap, but I am truly satisfied and if I ever I find myself dissatisfied I can always cancel the service. If ever in the area of Rt. 22 Union and you need a car wash give them a try, I'm sure you will be satisfied. read more

What just happened? Went for my usual oil change and free car wash (I pay for the upgrade to The Works) and all the humans have been replaced by machines. In this establishment's version of "self check out" it is now SELF VACUUM and EXTERIOR WASH ONLY. There are gates and kiosks where you pay for your wash and you stay in the car and just drive off after. No clean mats, no cleaning inside at all. Nothing provided to do your own mats or interior. Just vacuums and a machine to take your money. I totally get the labor shortage and rising employee costs but at least provide the same service in some way. read more

I love coming here because they would wash my floor maps, wipe my interiors, and vacuum. Now, they only do wash and you have to vacuum. I don't mind paying a higher price for them to do everything for me. I can basically get the same exterior car wash when I fill up my gas at the gas station and pay less. Gonna need to find another car wash place they will also do interior touch up. So disappointed they changed this. read more
