The touch free wash works fine! I've gone a couple times now. It won't scratch your paint like other drive through car washes do. The self service wash stations may not always work consistently. That's only because the technology for the wash system. I met the owner there while I was washing my car. He's very kind and is working hard to repair the self service wash stations. read more

My best advice: STAY AWAY FROM THIS HELL-HOLE, The White River Car Wash. Fortunately, there is a brand new car wash, soon to open, called The Station Car Wash, two parcels away from the hell-hole, The White River Car Wash The feeble old man who pretends to manage The White River Car Wash is a train-wreck, useless!; this man is mechanically and functionally incompetent. The White River Car Wash is the consummate dispenser of deception. $18.00 for a basic, (make believe) high pressure water car wash, which is useless. Many components of the car wash equipment do not work. The self-service car washes are archaic, like the useless old man who pretends to manage this place, the dials on the control head don't work, the White River Car Wash charges $6.00 for a 4 minute car wash, 2 of the 4 minutes are wasted, waiting for the hoses to prime (larceny!), and the water is so hard, that it will leave your car with grossly visible water stains. The first self-service car wash bay does not work, there is no sign that it is out of service, nor a cone, blocking the car wash bay; it looks like this bay has been out of service for a long time. 3 out of 4 vending machines in the vending machine room are marked Out of Service. In my opinion, the owner of the White River Car Wash, has an unwavering level of dedication to taking money from his/her customers, and not delivering the advertised product or service. I am told that The Station Car Wash, practically, next door to the White River Car Wash, is within a few weeks of opening. Unfortunately, the Upper Valley is robust in awful car washes, and very expensive car washes. Best you wait for rain to clean your car, and hope that The Station Car Wash will deliver a good product (at a reasonable price (unlike Lady Rich Express Car Wash in West Lebanon, NH), when it opens. read more

Expensive and doesn't really get the car clean anymore. Only upside is the self service wash stations but even those work half the time now.

I paid $22 for a "deluxe" wash in WRJ last week and exited the machine with the same cat prints and coffee drip stains that were on the car when I went in. In addition, the undercarriage wash didn't work at all, the button for the $20 wash was broken, and the stoplight inside the machine did not turn on. I want my money back! read more

$22 later and my car is still filthy. Do not use this place. Now I have to go pay for another one. read more

White River Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - White River Junction, Vermont

See all

There are no prices posted for manual washing bays, so as a FYI, it costs about $8.50 for 6 minutes of using the spray gun. Maybe someone else can do a soapy wash/rinse/conditioner faster, but if you add another minute or two, you're right at the price for an automated wash. So there's not that much cost savings here. read more

Did the brushless car wash drive thru for $22. Packages run from $18-$24. I think the brushless drive thru car wash needs to incorporate brushes to be honest. The car wasn't a whole lot cleaner afterwards. I can think of better ways to blow $20. Avoid. read more

Charlie made it right with me. I am getting a free car wash. As it turns out, I should have waited until the car ahead of me was TOTALLY out of the bay before I paid for my wash. It was a timing issue. Be sure the car ahead of you is well away from the bay before starting your wash. No memory in the system. read more

$18 for the basic wash. A little soap puffed out, then a mist of water followed by one single pass of a more aggressive spray. Many of the nozzles were clogged so we left with soap and grime still on the car. Don't go. read more

This place is squeaky and out dated. The mechanics need some WD40. I thought I would give this place another try since the winter. Still not up to snuff. Bummer read more

I would give it MINUS stars if I could - paid $20 for an automatic wash - car in front of me finished up & exitted but overhead door never opened so that I could go in. Waited 5 minutes - nobody was around - walked out back to find an attendant. Couldn't find anyone ; honked my horn for awhile -- no courtesy phone, not even a number to call for help. Now I have the fun task of disputing the charge with my credit card company. Unacceptable. read more

It works fine. It's not going to get everything off, since it is just an automated wash. It has been getting more expensive, so hopefully the machine gets maintenance/updated at some point to clean a little better. read more

What a joke, don't waste your money here An $18 basic wash provided so little soap that I could see out the windows before the rinse off, I guess it's a cost saver to skimp like that but it does a poor job The end result was barely better than before I wasted my money on this, it was like I paid to get my car wet, not cleaned, despite paying $4-5 more than better competitors Bugs all over the front bumper, dirty film on the back window and water spots all over the car I won't go back read more

will not go back again. put my money in the machine and pulled forward on the green light, no red light came on. so exited and lost $24. I have called their number and left a message. if no answer from owner's I will call my credit card company this thursday to get my money back read more

Great working machines! Place seems always clean and never any problems. Clothing wash next door for convenience

Equipment often not functioning. Both times I've been bays were down. Other customers rude. I had one that acted like he owned the place and tried to tell me which line I was allowed to use. Won't try that place again. read more

The $20 car wash at the White River Car Wash is (literally) money down the drain and I won't be going back. Buyer beware! My "post-wash" car was just as dirty as my "pre-wash" car. And I spent 30 minutes waiting in line - for what? (Kind of like taking a bath in water that's been used dozens of times before you.) read more

I usually use the self cleaning bays To wash my rig i've never had a problem and they work wonderfully But the last time I went in. I used my debit card. Once the timer ran out. I was about 3/4 of the way through of washing my rig so I had to use my debit card again. Once I was finished washing my rig I went and hit the stop button It said minimum time not met. Meaning that I had not used my 5 minutes. Minimum for the wash. After checking my Bank transactions. I was charged $20 For the first time. But it also charged me $20 for the second time. I will be calling them tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll get a response. Because I love going to this place Just figured I would put that out there and see if it happened to anybody else. read more

I paid for the service which was more expensive than most places, but was so disappointed in the quality. When I got out to look at my car, I was amazed by how dirty the front still was. I almost felt like it must not have sprayed anything on the car. Most car washes seem to have such great service, but this one seem to do very little. read more

Great place to wash and vacuum your car out. Easy to pay. Vey convenient place for it too. read more

I went to this car wash with the intent of using the self serve bay. I was not aware that there was the ability to pay using a credit card in the bay. I stopped at the cash machine which posted the ability to cash a $10 bill for quarters. I only got $4 in quarters. I tried to find someone on site and the door was locked and there was no answer to a knock. I called 3 times over the course of subsequent days and left messages and I NEVER HEARD BACK!! While the automated wash is good (I've used it many times over the years), the ability to troubleshoot a problem with NO ONE on site is deplorable. At least respond to a phone message! While I am only out $6, it is the principle that this company cares little for customers. Buyer Beware! read more

After the wash and all other treatments (I paid for the top set of treatments) there remained areas of the rear window that were not cleaned at all from their condition before the car wash and a very large number of dirt spots all over the car body. The wash removed most of the dirt and salt and other stuff but left hundreds of little islands of dirt. The wash also did not removed bugs and other debris on the windshield. Very dissatisfied!! read more

I just paid $20 for a Deluxe car wash. The entire rear end and passenger side was still coated in dirt, which I had to manually remove. So what's the point of paying and not getting a good wash? Never using this place again. read more

Put my card in, ordered wash, no one was in the car wash at the time. Pay machine told me to move forward, all the "go" green lights were flashing in the wash area ... but THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN! Waiting, pushed all the buttons on the pay machine, walked around looking for an attendant ... none to be found. No courtesy phone, no phone number posted anywhere to call. So now, my truck remains dirty, and I'm out $18.00. Went by the carwash a few days ago, everything closed down. What's happening? I won't be returning to this car wash again. read more

$20 and my car is covered in brown grime. Not sure what they mean by "wash," but it's not the same as the dictionary.

Paid for deluxe with undercarriage wash and it never turned on! New flashing lights don't wash my car...you actually need soap and water!!!

Got the car washed because it was needing it. The car wash was good although I thought it was overpriced just for a basic wash.

This place gives me the creeps. The equipment is poorly maintained -- the exit bay door closes in the middle of the cycle for no reason, the lights on the credit card machine don't work, the nozzles are clogged, etc. I can't help but think about what would happen if the doors didn't open or the giant robot malfunctioned, with no attendant around and weak cell reception, etc... So I guess it's a great place to go if you have an active imagination and like horror movies. :D We really need other options in the Upper Valley. read more

Their spot free rinse left lots of spots on my car. I tried to use the $2.00 vacuum, and it wouldn't even suck up loose pet hair, nevermind the gravel under the floor mat. It was a total waste for the vacuum. read more

Honestly, I don't think I got all the cycles I paid for. I got the "Works Plus" package that is supposed a have a TWO pass hot wash. I got only one. It's also supposed to scrub your tire rims. It didn't. I could feel it happening in the past. Not this time. And you can tell it didn't happen by looking at the rims. A simple swipe of the finger shows the rims never got touched. Then there's the multi-colored foam they apply. You can plainly see that some nozzles aren't working. And the result? Lots of dirt and streaks left behind. Not worth it. read more

Was reluctant to come here based on bad Yelp reviews but self wash is perfectly fine, no complaints. Accepts credit cards. Here is an additional sentence so Yelp accepts my review as sufficiently lengthy. read more

This place is a total joke, put my money in the machine(and of course you can't get a receipt) and the doors won't open so I lost my 20.00. Also the sign on the side of the building says there is an attendant at the back of the building, I went to ask for a refund and there is no one there read more

There were issues with selection for wash type. NO ATTENDANT to help with issues when the sign says come inside for any questions.... Wrong wash was given had purchased the WorksPlus which was $18 and ended up getting the Express $12. We wasted $6. read more

Update: I was in this area again and decided to stop and use the tokens I got previously. There were two attendant who I explained my situation to. They were great. He gave me a free ultimate wash and explained why sometimes there are problems. I really appreciated their great attitudes. Previous review-It ate $16.00 and gave me $4.00 in useless tokens as my change. Car wash didn't function. No attendant so I drove away basically throwing a $20 in the machine and still had a dirty car. I didn't even want to give them my business in the first read more

I wanted to love the p[lace because it's well reviewed, conveniently located, clean, and well-maintained. The only thing is, it didn't get my truck clean. I took my Toyota Tundra through the fully automatic brushless wash and paid something like $15 for "the works." I got about a five minute ride complete with all the bells and whistled, and all kinds of brightly colored products getting sprayed all over the place. Cool! The only problem is that it didn't get the vehicle clean. The bugs were still all over the grill (I wiped them off with a damp cloth), and the little peace sign someone had traced in the dust on the tailgate was still there. Not a complete waste of $15, but not far off. It's too bad because as I said, it looks, feels, and seems like a nice, well-run operation. Next time I think I'll try the part where you do t yourself. read more

I am new to the area and stopped here to wash my car at the self-service bay. I paid with my debit card and did not spend a long time washing my car but was charged $20 for the time it took, which was not a long time. I have called and called and left messages but no one has ever gotten back with me. I will never go back! And just wanted others to know what happened to me. $20 to wash your own car is absurd! read more

Nice place not as bad as reviews. I would recommend using the self wash and not the automatic. The automatic no touch washer will not remove bugs, grease, etc. The stalls are clean, work, and cared for. Lastly, the vacuums are clean and work efficiently. read more

On Friday, September 25, 2020, I went to the car wash. I have gone there multiple times this year. Today was a little different. I watched the car in front of me being washed. I could see that it was not doing a decent job. I went into the wash and immediately knew something was wrong BIG time~! As it started the sprayer sprayed down on the concrete out of three holes, It did not spray the front of my car. Then went it went over my car it hardly sprayed any liquid on my car. When the soap was applied it was the same deal, no soaping the front and hardly any soap on the windshield and the top of my car. When it air-dried my vehicle it blue part of my windshield wiper out the door, which I had to retrieve. I found the attendant, who was talking on the phone, and told him what had happened. I showed him the soap that had built up on the concrete. He watches the next car and agrees that it was not spraying the front of the vehicles. He then walks off without saying a word. I was being persistent and wanted an answer, at least an apology. He went into the office as I waited outside in my vehicle. He then SLAMS the door shut and locked the door. I knocked very loudly several times. I then got into my car and drove around the building and found him standing in the first wash stall. I motioned to him that I wanted to talk to him. He got extremely angry at me and when I asked who the owner was and a phone number that I could call he yelled at me and said that I was not going to call anyone. He said, "I told you that I would give you another car wash~!" If he said that it was under his breath. I told him that he was getting mad at me for no reason. He never apologized, nor, made any attempt to make me happy. I hope the owner sees this and realizes that this type of behavior is bad for business~!! Is there another car wash nearby, because I will use that one~! read more

The outside windows of my car got washed, however the sides are still covered with mud. Unsatisfactory.

Just paid $18 for a car wash that did nothing. The only thinh off the leaves believable
