Place blows. I had a punch card and earned my free car wash. Super excited about it. As I walk up to the register the guy mumbles that it is not good and gives me a new punch card. Hey guy behind the counter, you suck! I earned my free wash. Keep your new stupid card. You ain't gonna bamboozle me again. Fool me one and not a 2nd time. I will never come back here! I didn't even tip. Sorry guys washing the car and doing all the back breaking work. You can thank your idiot boss for that! My favorite part of this whole process was when he gave me back the newly punched card. I was like oh hell no. GTFO! I would rather wait for the rain to wash my car than to bring it back to this crap hole of an establishment. Take your cars somewhere else. Anywhere else. Hell I will wash them for you! I may even give you a punch card. read more

I got to this car wash since it's only a few blocks from my house. At first, I thought it was just an oversight on the cleaning and brushed it off. Now it's a repeat and I'm not happy about this. If I'm paying for the Ultimate Wash, there shouldn't be an oily residue left behind, crumbs, or parts that don't even look touched. read more

Solid car wash but they tricked me. When you look from the street there is 1-2 cars being washed but they have 8-10 in the drying area. Smart for drive by business. BAD for repeat business. I will not be back. Took 50 minutes to get through this place when I honestly thought (based on line) it would take 20 max. No good read more

Primero, no limpiaron bien. Segundo, no regresaron todas las alfombras y cuando regresé, ni las tenían. No respetaban y muchos nomas sentados en el teléfono. También llamé varias veces y no contestaron. First, the didn't clean right. Second, they didn't put all the carpets and when I went back, they didn't have them. They were being rude and most just lolly gagging. I also tried calling multiple times and no answer. read more

Love the service; dirt cheap by comparison to others and they do a solid (not spotless, per se, but for the price, it's a steal) job. On the downside, their hours seem to be just a suggestion. On multiple occasions I've driven over after work (~6 p.m.?) to find them closed. Their listed hours say they're open until 7 p.m. Another time, before leaving on a trip out of town, I came by at ~8:30 a.m. (they say they open at 8) to find them closed. read more

I have been coming here for 10+ & never had an issue until last month when I came in to get a wash and they cracked my window more then what it was simply because no one understood English after I asked the guy that said yeah but totally didn't understand a bit of English! So I asked for the owner who does speak English and he was no one where to be found he said in Spanish which I understand I just don't speak it! Everyone kept saying they didn't do anything but just crack my window more that's all. Left my information for the owner to call me and never heard from him!! So I'll never return to the establishment! read more

My fav car wash in the city! So thorough, great pricing and excellent service. Only cash which can be a little cumbersome but they have an arm on site or Walgreens close by to get cash back. read more

Windy City Hand Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This carwash is under new ownership and it seems like they don't care about the quality of the work but instead the quantity of cars that go in. You they also have employees on their cell phones instead of working to get the cars out of there. The cars stay at least 20min to dry off ( the 8 cars waiting to get dried off) before the employees start drying with towels. read more

I have been coming to this car wash for years! Their express washes in the morning are crazy fast and efficient! I recently had my car detailed and was BLOWN away by how clean my car was returned to me. They seriously got every last crumb my child is responsible for in the back seat and maybe one or two fries I lost in between the center console and my seat. Totally worth the $190! read more

Windy City Hand Car Wash - Blower and rinserr - Car Wash Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Where do I start? They steal the little random things in your car. Beware. The 3 or 4 times I've been there early in the morning, they're late opening the door. We took our truck today- they had no cars when we got there and they quickly fell behind because they were working so ridiculously slow: they took over 30 minutes to just clean the inside of my truck and They left the truck on the whole entire time with the heat on! They guy even messed with my radio because it was moved when I got in it. At some point, their boss or someone got there with food and the guys were eating while cleaning the trucks. I don't understand how this place makes business, everyone there was upset because the wait was so long. Never again. read more

Best one in the area. Me and my family have been coming here for years and we never came across a bad service. Highly recommend.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I was the 1st car here this morning. I Paid $17.99 for an early bird "SUPER WASH" which is normally MORE $$ and it was TERRIBLE!! wheels & wheel wells still dirty, car is still wet, trunk unvacuumed and all inside of doors including trunk were still wet and description says on their website completely inner doors cleaned and dried. Then paid $34.99 for a BAD engine wash . Just some sprays of a purple liquid and a once over with a spray wash. Also to clean dash or wipe inside windows is extra!! Receipt says I saved $11 but now I have to spend $20 somewhere else to get the job done right. I'm not expecting showroom floor quality but DAMN!! they didn't have to do my truck like that! .......and I tipped! If you pay for the regular early bird wash you may get what you paid for but stay away from anything extra cause you will only get EXTRA CHARGED!! Do what you want but you've been warned!! read more

The BEST car wash in Chicago. Fresh soap for every car. Fresh Water spray under your car.

Again, CHEAP The vending machine is always stocked. - Little things like this tell me the owner pays attention to everything. Burt says if your gonna get a Washy Washy-no happy ending, this is the best ever! read more

Windy City Hand Car Wash - Windy City Hand Car Wash. The Best in Chicago!!! - Car Wash Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My boy Angel told me about this place and it is now the only car wash I go to. First time I went was a Saturday morning around 10am and they were super packed. You pull in and leave your keys in the car, once you go inside and tell the cashier, which was the manager that day, what you want done he will go out and let the guys that are washing the car know. You can sit in the waiting room where there is a big flat screen tv on the wall with about 5 chairs. This particular day Jaws was just coming on which I have honestly never seen from the beginning. If you don't want to sit inside you can either go into their audio and rim shop which is attached to the car wash or go wait in the garage where they are washing the cars behind the rail guard. Behind the rail guard they have a couple of vending machines with candy, chips, soda, etc. I got the superwash with the undercarriage, inside complete vacuum, windows cleaned, mat blaster, dash cleaned, wax, etc. Came to $12, totally worth it. When they are all done cleaning they leave your keys on the stand next to your car and you pick them up and head out. I really like this place and they do a fantastic job. This is definitely where I will frequent for my car washes. read more

Windy City Hand Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

They were open, and it was warm inside, during the polar vortex part deux. They are efficient, washing pretty much all of the cars that can fit in the garage at any given time. Early bird special is now $6.99, The regular is $10.99. A detail is $99. They were efficient, prety much cleaning the whole time my car was inside the building, but they took their time and got it right. Only one mat really needed a special cleaning, so they took that one out and cleaned it specially. They got pretty much everywhere, and while it wasn't spotless, it's about as good a cleaning as I think my car has gotten, and the price obviously can't be beaten, particularly the early bird special. I can see the line getting bad, and it's an inconvenient place to wait because you're pretty much in the street, so when I go I'll try to make sure it's at a randm time. Friendly staff. read more

New update: For the third time. My thermostat I put in the vents to check the temperature is gone again. It was definitely STOLEN When I talk to the manager, he denies anything like this happening. He claims all his guys are honest. Not three times. It's nowhere to be found in the car. I have been coming to this place for years. Not anymore. Too many times, I had stuff missing from car. And it's not list, or misplaced either. A good manager would try to work with you. When I called the manager, he had a bad attitude. In the long run, they are only hurting themselves. Reputation gets around fast in this city. It won't be long , before it shuts down read more

Went to get a car wash and they gave me back a half way done job Gave me a lil attitude when I went back and pointed the bad job they did the windows still dirty and the whole passengers side was dirty The inside Pilar were never cleaned made me drive on the sidewalk go through the rear again blocked the alley the neighbors gave me the finger on why I was blocking the alley and I was the only car there I guess this is what I get for paying for a service from a place that don't care This will be the last time I ever go and I will tell everyone to triple check ur car read more

I paid for a super car wash or whatever it is that they call it, which was $21 and this is what I left with. Beyond disappointed. The guys were more worried about checking out every female that walked in, instead of actually focusing on the cars. NEVER AGAIN! read more

This place used to be fantastic, until the new owners took over. Before it was run like a well oiled machine, my car was always spotless and the employees always had a smile. I was usually in and out in under 15 minutes. Now, there are three guys working, people are disgruntled and to top it off, when paying, the guy didn't even thank me or smile. I thought it was a one off the last time, apparently not. I won't be back, which makes me sad. I used to live this place. Hopefully the new owners will make some changes, I won't be there to see them. read more

Came here for an early bird car wash special. 8$ and tipped $3 can't beat the price! I did have to wash some of the water off my car afterwards but defiantly worth it!

A family friend recommended this spot so I decided to check it out. I'm quite particular about where I get my Audi A6 washed b/c the reality is that car is my baby. I've checked out over a dozen hand car washes in different neighborhoods but have never been completely satisfied. The really good places charge too much and the cheaper places do a half assed job on the wash. Here's my thoughts on Windy City: 1) Hands down the best wash for the dollar. $12 inside and out. 2) Perfection is in the details and they didn't miss one. Floor mats properly placed (not thrown back in like some other places do) in their appropriate spots, not one water spot left on all the car, they vacuumed in between the seat and the middle console and the rims and tires were shined up so bright! 3) It felt like they were custom washing my car not trying to get it through the production line. Not sure how long Windy City has been around but I think my quest to find the best hand car wash in Chicago is finally over. read more

$13 HAND wash (inside and out!). DEAL ALERT! Although you might have to wait 10-15 minutes (depending on the time you get there), it is well worth it. You can either wait in the waiting room (spacious with a tv) or stand off to the side and watch your car get restored to its original form (or...probably better than it's original form). Make sure you get the loyalty punch card because I think your 7th wash is free or something like that. CC's accepted, but there's a cash tip box near the exit. They do a FAB job, so you'll want to keep coming back! read more

What happened to this place? They're going to charge me $22 for a supreme car wash and then basically run it through a machine? Don't get fooled by the hand car wash on the name. I'd rather pay $7 for the same wash at a gas station and $5 for the guys that hang around to dry it. Same end product, rip off. read more

I can't believe I am writing a car wash review. This is my first time to have a car in the big city. In other large cities that I have lived in I always traveled by bus, rail, and foot. But this time around in Chicago I brought my Toyota Camry along for the ride. She gets me out of town for the weekend and helps carry my groceries home. I am thankful. And I need to respect her need to be clean. Growing up we always made a day of it and washed the cars in the driveway. A sham, bucket, and dish soap were all we needed. But those fun days are over. And the Chicago winter has made my sweet car look nasty and ill. Windy City Hand Car Wash is in my neighborhood and I always drive by thinking "I should go here." And I finally did. I needed the salt and dirt washed away. Less than $10 for a wash and vacuum. UNBELIEVABLE. And it took about 15 min, with a full line. Quite the operation happening here. Professional, prompt, perfect. My car has been restored to what she looked like 2 seasons ago. Plus, I feel responsible and grown-up. Win Win. Summer Shine! I love Windy City Car Wash. And you can bet that I will be returning for the $79 detail. Wow. read more

I took my new car here on Saturday to get cleaned since this place has great reviews and is down the street from my apartment. My thoughts on Windy City, starting with the cons: 1- Not so safe that you have to wait in a line of cars on Fullerton to get in to the garage. 2- Took almost 30 minutes for my car to get washed, dried and vacuumed. Seeing how there are a lot of employees cleaning cars here, you'd think it wouldn't take this long for a simple wash. 3- Brought my car home and noticed my front bumper looks like it wasn't washed at all, there are still dead bugs all over the bumper. And not to nit-pick but there are specs of dirt on the interior of my car that were not cleaned off either. Pro's: 1- $9.99 for a wash, Wednesday is Ladies get 1/2 Off Day (might come back for a $5 wash) 2- The employees are very nice. 3- It's close to home. I may or may not be back. read more

Let's be honest here. My car....not fantastic. 2004 Civic...140k on the clock, a few bumper bruises, etc. But I'm still pretty picky about keeping it clean. I wax it twice yearly, I get it hand washed because it's black and regular car washes leave swirl marks in the paint. So I decided to check out the nearest car wash the other day to get it scrubbed. I understand a hand car wash takes a bit of time. That's cool. But 35 minutes to wash, dry, vacuum, and clean the windows? That's a bit excessive. And here's what I got for my 35 minutes. Streaks and spots on the paint. Those can generally be avoided by using clean towels, and drying the car when you're done washing it. Not letting it sit for 10 minutes with rinse water on it. Streaks and spots on the windows. Again, clean, dry towels. Additionally, when I pull in...someone should probably come up, ask what type of wash I want, and point me towards a cash register. I'm a bit apprehensive about leaving my car under the "eh, it'll get done" theory. I'd hit Logan Square Car Wash down on Milwaukee before this place. read more
