    This is one of the few hand car washes I have gone to that cleans the windows on each side consistently. Usually you go to a place and they have a person on each side performing the drying and such and usually I can see who did the better job. This place is always consistent in the washing and the drying. I like that they use the pressurize air to remove the excess water in the cracks and crevices before the final drying. That always pisses me off driving away from some places to see that shine messed up from water flying out of the side mirrors or the sunroof. The times I have been there, I have had wait a bit because even though the car was done, there is almost always one guy that lingers to do the final checks and wipes. Be prepared on a good day to wait as the lines can get long there. And be prepared to wait a bit if there is a van or truck in front of you...they do just as thorough a job on them as the cars. But being bigger, it takes longer :-)

    By far one of the best hand car wash I have been to in this area. I have been here numerous time with different types of vehicle values and they always take car of the same way. This is great as they don't treat more low cost vehicles less than Higher cost as others do half job done. Thanks Jessica she was also a great customer service representative. Will be back every time I am back in town. HOOAH!!

    One of the best car wash that I know until now. The way they clean your car is really cool. They have a lot of new guys but it seems like the 2 foremans or managers are watching all of them always. A new guy missed today to clean really good 2 of my car's rim and of the manager called him back and even "showed" him the right way to do this. That's the only one right way to make your employees learn how to do a proper job ! Great job done by Windy City !!!!

    Not so good paid for the deluxe and it looks like they missed something smh.

    So disappointed. I just left this car wash and I had high hopes since it's always busy. I'd say it'll be my last time coming here. Tuesday afternoon and not busy at all. The staff seemed to know what they are doing but just didn't get it right. I know there's a lot of other hand wash centers in the area so I will not hesitate in heading elsewhere. I paid for the deluxe wash which includes in and out services. Well they sort of executed the out part. But the in part not in anyway. They left the cup holders dirty and sticky which is bad because I even removed my cups so they wouldn't miss it. Second the dashboard couldn't be more dusty. I know I shouldn't keep a dusty dashboard hence the reason I came to wash my car. I think I could've done a better job myself. The outside is clean but not what you would expect from a hand wash. After they called me to get my car I noticed there was still dirt on top of the car. I mean the guy was nice to wipe it off but it shouldn't be my job to tell them what they missed. Otherwise I look like I'm needy. I'm just so disappointed at this place. I gave them two stars because the idea is there behind the business. Only if management executed the choices the employees do it could be better. What car wash doesn't offer air freshener? This place, unless you kindly ask. But only have one kind because "they just ran out" like the attendant claims. Fellow yelpers be aware and be detailed if you do come here.

    First time going there, I was disappointed by what was supposed to be a 3 stage paint correction, and ended up with a polish and wax. When the waxes faded, I was surprised to see the swirl marks reappear within 2 weeks. After expressing my disappointment, Rob (co-owner) contacted me to correct the issue. He did admit that it wasn't to proper standards of services that I paid to have done and he personally corrected the issue. This, to me, shows his care for his business and the satisfaction of his customers. Businesses that do not care will brush this under the rug and high five each other for undeserved dollar earned. Rob explained what was being redone and best ways to upkeep it in the future. Nearly all of the swirl marks are gone and some scratch marks are gone as well. The 10 year old car looks brand new. If you need anything more technical than basic wash,polish, and wax, ask for Rob. I don't think his partner knows as much.

    I have been coming here for years and I recommend this place to everyone. They do a amazing job and make sure the car is washed perfectly. Sometimes the wait is a little longer then usual but it's worth waiting. They take the time and don't rush at all and best part is you can watch them wash your car the entire time. *****

    melted ice cream that never got wiped down/off.

    Not very thrilled about this Windy City Auto Spa. The young lady at the front was helpful but only after it took 15 minutes of me getting help from anyone. I knew I wanted just a wash on the outside and to wipe down everything on this inside and to clean my mats. So I got the deluxe car wash and there was nothing deluxe about it. It took almost an hour for a half-assed job. A week before I got my car washed, I had some melted ice cream on my cup holder and they didn't even wipe the inside of it at all. (shown in picture). And the worst part is as soon as I got home, I noticed there was a dead bee in my car!! I don't even come in with a dead bee in my car! Even if I did, it should have been taken out.

    See all

    They did a decent job. I like that they will take your mats out and spray them down but could be better in the interior cleaning

    If I could give this business 6 stars I would! I seldom handout positive reviews unless it is truly…read moreearned but after shopping for 3 days, doing a lot of research on LineX, The Protector, ValueGuard, and many others I felt Ziebart offered the the best solution! I called on other competitors and asking them specifically what the process was down to the exact details, I was horrified one competitor said they simply wipe the frame down if there is some road grime no big deal! I was like "no way! No way will I take my truck here. After speaking to Bob at this Ziebart location he was very nice, friendly, and he explained the entire process. Without even asking he told me the first thing they do is power wash the entire undercarriage and they inspect for any pre-existing rust which at that point they use rust eliminator to nutraulize that. They do this so you are not covering the rust up with the undercoating which makes sense. Then they rust proof the doors with a yellow like wax color while the undercarriage is drying then they spray the entire undercarriage. After that they wash the vehicle then they double check for missed spots. I paid $649 got the special and with Tax and county fees it was $740 dollars around. All and all I am very glad I got this procedure done. I was hesitating for a bit, not wanting to spend $700 but I plan on keeping this truck for 10 plus years so I decided it's the right thing to do. I strongly encourage anyone regardless if your vehicle is galvanized from factory, this is a great way to extend the life of your car.

    I really wanted to go with Ziebart, but the experience just wasn't great. They weren't very…read moreresponsive and didn't seem all that interested in helping. I had a few questions about the type of undercoating they use and whether there were less damaging options in case it ever chipped. The answers I got felt rushed and vague, and then they just stopped replying altogether. I ended up doing the job myself with Fluid Film and Cosmoline. It was definitely messier and probably not as thorough as a pro could do, but I didn't feel confident they'd take the time or care to do it right. Disappointing.
