    Listen, I have been searching the high seas for a good car wash. I was apparently spoiled living in Brooklyn, NY and being able to wash my car 24 hours a day for $20. Now, the price here is different but stick with me. I arrive and was helped immediately. I waited a little before they actually started my car. They HAND wash the cars! No harsh machines. I paid $38 for the full hand wash & interior. They did an amazing job. I had crumbs left In between the driver seat and console (dangerous spot lol) now I made that my reference. If they were thorough it would be gone. NOT only did they do that thoroughly, apparently my debit card fell there too and they found it (again LOL). My new go-to place, period.

    The little "manager" often is aggressive, rude, and even threatening to Yelpers who leave poor reviews.

    I had to update my review. I found that if you post a polite but accurate less than favorable review, the little manager Sam starts to harass you. The little manager Sam continues to update his response to my review just to be annoying. After reading other reviews, it turns out that the little manager Sam has always replied to bad reviews with nasty, rude, and derogatory comments (I have reported little manager Sam). I can't recommend doing business here because besides the service lacking, little manager Sam is also devoid of professionalism and accountability. Here's the review that upset little manager Sam: There are some SERIOUS pros and cons here, so be aware if you choose to come here. My wife and I called to make sure they had the availability to schedule 2 cars for a deep cleaning interior and exterior (her car is kept very clean, mine not so much). The person on the line confirmed our appointments and off we went. When we arrived a little before 10:00AM we were put off by the fact that the staff were already working on other vehicles. Not only because they open at 10:00, but because we had an appointment for 2 cars and the staff seemed busy. We were asked to park our cars and were given an estimate of $280 for both cars. We agreed and were told that it would be several hours. It was a bit too early so we couldn't go to any of the stores or restaurants in the plaza so we opted to take an Uber home. After 3 hours or so my wife called to check on the status of the vehicles and was told that due to the "humidity" the cars would not be ready until 5:00PM. By about 3:00PM we took another Uber to a restaurant near We Care Auto Wash (WCAW). As we dined in the outdoor seating in the extreme heat we wondered what humidity could prevent the cars from drying. We finished and walked over to WCAW shortly before 5:00 and noticed that my wife's car was actively being cleaned. We sat for a few minutes before the guy at the desk came to tell us the cars were done. I overheard some of the guys desperately trying to figure out if my wife's car had bags or not (it didn't and I suggest you don't leave anything in the cars) but trying to keep it cool. My wife paid and it turns out that the guy charged her $380 rather than the $280 he had quoted us. When I went in to ask about it he said that I had misunderstood (which would mean that my wife would have also somehow misunderstood him in the same misunderstanding that I misunderstood?). He then said that it was due to the condition of both cars because both cars needed a lot of cleaning. Granted, mine needed the cleaning but she cleans hers meticulously so this was false. I didn't want to make a scene and unfortunately my wife already paid so I left it at that. Pro: The vehicles are immaculate. I haven't seen that level of cleanliness in my car since I purchased it. Con: The person at the desk will take advantage of you if you're not careful. Con: They will lie about their availability so be prepared for the possibility that you will wait the equivalent of an entire shift of work for your car. Ours went from 10:00AM-5:00PM. Suggestion: Get your estimate in writing so you can avoid "misunderstandings" and verify their availability. I'm unlikely to return here since it took 7 hours and they ripped us off, but at least the cars look great.

    Not the fastest wash, but an AMAZINGLY thorough wash for the price. Not the cheapest wash either, but they do an amazing job. Even the basic washes are equivalent of a small detail. Fantastic wash and clean. - people complaining about scheduling or waiting time need to understand that they spend up to half an hour on each car. You'll be glad they spend that time on your vehicle when you get it. - complaints about Sam also seem unjustified. Very friendly and polite. As I was waiting two people pulled up and asked questions, one had human vomit in the car he wanted cleaned which Sam politely declined and after told me his workers don't want to / shouldn't have to clean that. And another asked if he could get spilled motor oil out of the carpets of his small suv. Which Sam also declined. Both left rather annoyed. Understand what you're asking for and what this business is. Hire a one on one detailing service if you want dedicated times. DAC Auto Detailing is a fantastic business In the area if you need a scheduled, more in depth detail.

    If you want to try this business, YOU'RE ROLLING THE DICE! I see some good reviews here which means it's a hit or miss. If you're lucky and get good service, you're good. But if there's anything wrong, and you want to address them, you'll only get insults back. With that being said, service is ok but the manager is unbelievably rude and it is apparent from his behavior that he does not know how to run a business. Upon smallest complaint he retorts and insults instead of addressing any real issues. He called me a looser, liar, weird, etc without pointing out what exactly I was lying about, what was weird (as if that has anything to do with the business anyway) and he published my information on Yelp that he got from my debit card! If he replies to your review, TAKE A SCREENSHOT EVERY TIME. He tends to spew garbage at people then editing them out after a couple of days. He edited his response to me 7 times.

    After having gone to multiple car washes in the area, this is hands down the best auto wash service in the entire DMV. This is an actual hand wash, and is basically a mini detail. Make sure you block out some time as they can have a small line when you arrive, however the quality of service is absolutely amazing. Can't say enough good things - we only bring our vehicles here now.

    I was kind of hesitant to visit this business due to the mixed reviews and not being from the area, but I can't say that I'm disappointed in the service overall. When I first got to the business there was a drive up line to select your service and pay, the only down side at this point is that the prices and details weren't posted (I later saw them inside). The gentleman at the line did a decent job of explaining the services, but I'm someone who has to read something to decide if I want it. Either way I opted for the mini detail which came to $68 for a Mercedes CLA 250. The gentleman told me that the wait would be about 30 minutes and the service about an hour. I was able to wait in my car until they began the service which was great because it was so cold. If you're planning on waiting with your car please wear something warm! There is small waiting area inside, but it only has a space heater and the door is propped open so the heat isn't staying in. There are also tables outside with a burn barrel, but I didn't dress warmly enough to sit outside unfortunately. There isn't a bathroom in the detail area, so you will have to use the one at the laundromat. I'm not sure if there is an agreement between the two businesses, but the laundromat bathroom has a clearly posted "customer only" sign. It did end up taking about an hour for my car to be finished which was not a problem at all as that was the timeframe that I was given upon arrival. When I got the keys backs I was surprised that there wasn't a follow up to make sure I was satisfied with the service. It may have been because it was about to rain, but even a quick walkthrough would have addressed some concerns. When I got to my car the outside was noticeably clean, especially considering when I came it was covered in salt and road dust. The inside which was previously covered in dog hair and sand was also very clean. They didn't get all of the hair and sand, but it was a tremendous improvement. The rear view mirror had a lot of spots, but it was too easy to wipe myself. Despite a seemingly through job I will say is that it didn't seem like my rims were cleaned at all, nor was there any tire treatment. While it could have been from the ride home, I think it's highly unlikely that a 5 minute drive covered all 4 of my rims in dirt. Overall the wash was decent, but I think a walkthrough would have let me point out some key spots to retouch. UPDATE: The reason I needed my car cleaned is because I'm having my car shipped out of the country. Anyone that has been through that knows how tedious the pre-inspection is. When I got to the inspection and moved all of the floor mats/trunk cover it was clear that there wasn't any vacuuming done under the mats at all. I wish I would have taken pictures, but I was in a rush. If you're going to use this business please check the work before you leave, especially if you need the car to be thoroughly clean.

    I've started to care more about keeping my car clean since I bought a white car, so I've tried a lot of different car places in the DMV area.

The wheels and tires looked brand new, the interior was spotless, and the finish on the exterior was flawless. What really sets them apart is consistency. Every time I go back, they deliver that same "new car" look, feel, and even smell. It's honestly addictive. I've gotten so many compliments on how good my car looks, inside and out. They also hooked me up with a lifetime discount on detailing packages, which means I'm a regular now--and happily so. A quick tip for first-timers: they're located on the bottom level of a parking garage, so you'll need to grab a ticket to enter. Don't worry though--the team will take care of letting you out so you won't be charged for parking. If you're looking for a detailer that truly cares about their work and consistently delivers amazing results, Capitol Shine is it. Five stars all the way.

Very thorough, and while their price is high it's in line with the area. The issue I had was with their tint jobs. I've had 5 vehicles tinted at Capitol Shine, and while the first 4 were absolutely flawless, the 5th one had to be redone *three* separate times for major issues -- I'm not talking about a little speck of dust here or there, but major contamination. The final time they tinted the last vehicle, they ended up damaging the leather in the car by letting the tinting spray sit on the leather under the window for too long. To their credit, they apologized and refunded me for the tint job -- but I still had to go and have the leather replaced, which was a major pain in the ass. So, if you're looking for detailing - A+ work. If you're looking for tinting, be careful.

Although the price has change drastically (upward)....the consistency and quality of service remains on point. Yates is one of those car washes that you actually get a good wash and outcome of a clean car for it to be a machine wash. The service is quick, fast and very convenient. The secret here is not just in the machine wash, but the secret sauce is in how hard the workers that dry and detail your car afterwards perform. The folks here work really hard to clean your car inside and out. If not necessarily a full detail, but it's close to as if you paid for a full detailed service in my opinion. There were times I was even ashamed to open the door for them to clean my car! Lol. But, in all, you definitely get what you pay for here and that i is a quality wash that meets all expectations for the price. Besides the machine wash service, they do offer a hand wash service and full detail service that can be scheduled. The price varies based on the car type and size. I've never used the extended services, but from what I can see, they perform a great job, especially with detailing your car. My go to is the standard ultimate Wash. This service is a full complete inside and outside cleaning job for your car as well as inside mats and tire/wheel cleaning. One day I will try the hand wash and detail service, but for now I'm completely satisfied every time I stop by here. I highly recommend you give these folks to visit. You will not be disappointed..... at least I haven't and it has been over 20+ years!

Unfortunately, what should have been a routine $42 car wash turned into a very disappointing and costly experience. After the wash was completed, a supervisor, Marvin Cornejo, brought me over to my vehicle and informed me that they could not get the driver-side window to roll back up. There were also clear signs that the driver-side power window switch had been pried on in an apparent attempt to get the window working again. Prior to bringing my vehicle to Yates, I had never experienced any issues with the windows or electrical system. To their credit, the staff apologized at the time, took photographs of the damage, and completed an incident report. I was told that the owner would be contacting me to discuss the damage and how the situation would be handled. It has now been a week, and I have received no follow-up whatsoever. Because I was trading the Durango in that same day, the damage directly affected the condition of the vehicle and resulted in a $500 reduction in my trade-in value. So, in the end, a $42 wash plus the $5 tip I gave the staff cost me an additional $500. The wash itself was fine, and I understand that accidents can happen. What I find unacceptable is the lack of accountability and follow-through afterward. If your business damages a customer's vehicle, documents the incident, and tells the customer that the owner will contact them, following through should be the bare minimum. Receiving no communication at all only adds insult to injury. I purchased my new vehicle later that same day, and based on this experience, I will not be bringing it to Yates Car Wash Detail Center. Unfortunately, I also cannot recommend Yates to others. Accidents happen. How a business responds when they happen says far more about the business than the accident itself. In this case, the lack of communication and accountability has been extremely disappointing.
