    Waiting area and air fresheners for sale

    Won't take my car anywhere else! Wheel Works is my favorite. Washes start at $27 for cars and $30 for SUVs. You can get the "ultimate upgrade" for an additional $15 and they provide extra services such as top off windshield wiper fluid, remove sap and bugs, fill your tires, clean rubber floor mats, etc. If you decide to get the ultimate upgrade, you're able to go back in 3 days for a FREE wash or go back in 5 days for a half price wash as long as you have your receipt. That's amazing. The service is unmatched for the price you pay. They are always consistent and friendly even during their busiest times. I can tell the employees enjoy what they do. They make it fun. I've seen them dancing and singing while they dry cars. Definitely seems like a positive working environment. Whenever I stop in on a weekend, they have free coffee and doughnuts for their customers. In the lobby, you'll find air fresheners, wiper blades, Wheel Works merchandise (t-shirts and hoodies) and gift cards available for purchase. Cash and credit cards are accepted. HIGHLY recommend to anyone who needs a thorough detail of their vehicle!

    The quality of the service was the worst possible. The service requested was an upgrade wash, I paid $57 dollars for this bullshit. Don't waist your money on their car wash.

    Found Wheel Works through a random Google search for a hand car wash which is harder to find than you'd imagine in Philadelphia. Wheel Works was a bit of a drive from my North Philly hotel but was 100% worth it. I have been to many hand car washes as I like to drive my older 'classic' vehicle around the country when I have the time and what's better than having a clean car to drive? I always seek out hand car washes for obvious reasons but not all are the same. Wheel Works far exceeded my expectations for a hand car wash, especially one that an old car owner could feel safe leaving in their hands. They knew exactly how to take care of the white wall tires for cleaning and bringing the white stripe back to life. I've asked hand car washes to use a brass brush so many times and just gotten blank stares back. Some even tell me I'd be crazy to use one. Most of all though, all of the staff took care of my car as if it were their own, from start to finish. You are able to see through the tunnel the entire length of the way so you never have to worry about what's going on behind closed doors. I also appreciate that Wheel Works has a large number of employees working so the wash and dry doesn't take much longer than if you went to an automatic car wash. I would have no problem going out of my way to have more extensive services done at Wheel Works and I recommend you give them a try for a wash at least.

    This is how my car looking after i spent 46.75$ for the upgraded full service and with an additional$ of 15.00.for shampoo the rugs (that i never requested).Gladly i checked my trunk to find out they didn't vacuum or cleaned it at all.The employee was very rude.The 2 stars are for The receptionist who was very nice and professional. Overall I am very disappointed with the cleaning service especially when I spent over $60 for a car wash.

I have been trying for months to reach this business by phone, and have not had one phone call returned, despite leaving a couple of messages. I finally decided to try reaching out through Yelp. I thought that I'd finally made some headway, as shortly after filling out the form, I received a response with a list of their services and their prices. But it turns out that was merely an automated system response. Where it gets worse is I responded with the service that I would have liked. . . But crickets. Even though Yelp showed that my message was "Read". I gave them a few days, assuming that they were just busy. But I can't believe that a business can be so busy as to not provide at least an acknowledgement. My final communication was reaching out to thank them for their initial automated response and mentioning that I assume they have no availability. And again. . . crickets. The final straw was the notification that my message on Yelp had indeed been received and "Read", yet still ignored. I really wanted and tried to support this women-owned business, but I am extremely disappointed in their lack of communication. Reply to Business Owner's Response: A quick search of my cell phone's call history shows that I did in fact call the correct number. The screenshot below shows that I have been trying to reach out to you since May 2025. And if you look closer, you will see that each of the icons are outgoing calls. Not one call back was ever received from you, despite the voicemail messages that I left. Additionally, I still have my landline, so a couple of calls were also made using that phone number. However, I don't feel that it's necessary to provide a screenshot of those call records. After my last call of October 28, 2025, I finally reached out to you through Yelp in November 2025, which leads us to this review. Thank you for your response to my review, although I wish that I could have received a proper response outside of this forum. Good luck to you in the future.

Not only did the interior shine and smell amazing, but the staff was really cool too! I don't ever remember my car being this clean, not even when I first bought it. They reached all those tiny nooks and crannies that are impossible to get without the right equipment, I'm amazed! There wasn't a spot un touched. The whole exterior was cleaned as well, even the gas tank exterior was wiped down. It was truly Magic! The staff was friendly, attentive and hardworking. When I arrived to drop off my 2005 Toyota Scion XB a man was currently working on another car. I took notice to how much effort and meticulousness was put into each individual vehicle. I was impressed yet again when I came back to pick it up. I hopped in the driver seat and noticed a bag on the passenger side. I came to realize that they put all my belongings in a plastic bag for me. Some items may have appeared to be disposable but they didn't make that call. They even put that temporary paper floor mat down so my feet wouldn't undo their amazing work. I love driving my car again and now have a lot more incentive to keep it clean until the time comes to bring it back to Auto Magic Car Care!

Like many people, I wanted to find a place closest to the dealership, so that there would be no paint chips on the way there. After finding AODetail, and reading all their positive reviews, and even how the owner responded to the only negative review for someone doing a last minute request on New Year's Eve, I decided to call and talk specifics with the owner, Nick. He was AWESOME from the very first conversation through the entire process! His prices were reasonable and his experience was invaluable. I had some ideas as to what I wanted and which products and we discussed pros and cons of each. On a few occasions, we discussed possible options and rather than try to make a quick buck like many do, he recommended honestly against them as they added little to no value at a higher cost. We talked about his customer service and business practices and philosophy and how it closely aligned with mine when I had my own business. He is a very friendly, patient, down to earth, and honest businessman. He is also a perfectionist, which I appreciate as I am one too! I could not be happier with the outcome, the process, the cost, the owner, the staff, the product choices, and ultimate customer service! These days it is extremely hard to find this level of customer service anymore. I wish more experiences were like this one. My Tesla purchase customer experience wasn't even close to what we received at AODetail, and we paid a lot more money for the car! I wholeheartedly recommend AODetail and Nick, and his team, for any of your needs for their services capabilities. From One Extremely Satisfied and Happy Customer
