Truck still had dirt and bugs. There was a black streak on my quarter panel. Not impressed with the wash quality. The vacuums are very nice. Also like the free rags and spray.

I drive through to get a quick wash at several different places. I have not had such a bad experience at other places. I did not have time to vacuum so I didnt see the poor wash until I got home. My wheels were nasty. The rear-end had places that were clean and places that were not touched. The bugs on the front end were all still there. I would not have dropped the rating if that had been the only issue since other fast wash washes dont always get all of those off but this was worse than others. I also had to wash and use my wipers to get a couple of spots off the windshield that were not clean in the wash.

My car was full of dog hair with cloth seats and they got all of it vacuumed up, the dash was freshly wiped down , and the windows clean. It looks like a new car! Great job!!

Pretty good automatic car wash. It didnt really get my car good the first time but one of the employees saw it and had me run it through again for free. Also manually applied my tire shine. Customer service was excellent.

I usually don’t write reviews but this one I needed to I was recommended by my co-worker and although she had a semi bad experience I wanted to give you guys a try myself and I’m glad I did !, I came with my son with his car Saturday and it looked so amazing and guys were so nice I brought my car back Sunday and was beautiful I didn’t even recognize my car and I had been going to mister for years! From the young kids helping and greeting me when come in to the young kid that had to help me get my car in neutral were so polite and kind. The line my have been very long but didn’t feel like it seems like doing great teamwork! I also had the pleasure to meet the young lady manager AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE she has was so nice and sweet and very informative ( I asked several questions 😊) with clipboard in hand she was helping customers getting line moving and also say her help clean cars . I watched them clean my car and couldn’t have been more impressed by their teamwork while they seem like they were having fun. I was in very back of line to get my car clean but didn’t wait longer then 45min but didn’t feel like it . I own a business that is very stressful and busy on weekends and I know sometimes that will show but this wash both days was amazing, great customer service and friendly, maybe my co-worker came on wrong day or different people but I definitely told her about mine! ,and will be recommending to all my workers , friends, and family!! Thank You Guys So Much , will definitely be back next week to become a member!

I loved this car wash when it was new. It worked! Over time it has suffered a constant state of disrepair. On my last three visits, the tire shine did not work, despite being told it did when I asked after the first failure. Part of the drying sections didn’t work either. The rear of the vehicle is not cleaned well, but it used to be. Don’t waste your money.

This company has horrible management. Their manager Demetrius Williamson is unprofessional, uses racial slurs towards the employees. I’ve sent a complaint to their website. Will update my review once I receive a response.And as you can see they still will not address the recording I have. You respond to a google review but not directly to me when notified directly. As I told you in my email directly we will seek an attorney.

I came to get what I expected to be an express car wash and instead I got terrible service and was here for 1.5 hours. The car on the inside was hardly wiped down and looked like they spent no time trying to make things look good. My car went through the tunnel in about 10 minutes time. Several times in the tunnel, my car was stopped and I was even asked to reverse to the start of the tunnel because they forgot to start the wash and I was going through with nothing happening. I asked for help once I got my car because of its very poor condition considering I spend $40 on a membership. The lady was insanely rude and insisted the issues were my fault when everything in the car has dust and residue from their rags on it. I will not be coming back. I am very disappointed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Great place to get your car washed quick or have it professionally detailed by a crew member. The only downside to the touchless car wash is it doesnt always clean everything on your car. If youre not entirely satisfied with your wash, theyll let you go through again free of charge!

Love Blue Rain Express! They do a great job with my car and are always so friendly and professional. It is important to me to be able to get in and out quickly and not have to wait forever. I have the monthly membership and it’s an awesome value. I can go as often as I like and I love having a clean car all the time!

Plenty of clean towels for use. Wasnt too busy so had plenty of time to clean up my car and use the vacuum.Got a Deluxe carwash and it did an honest job for what I paid. Wish I had paid for a better wash, but not gonna complain on how it did for my money.One of the men at the entrance did me a favor and took off my antenna for me and even refused a tip. Very honest. I like that in a company. Shows conviction.Definitely will be spending my money on a better wash next time.Thanks for the wash guys.

I have a membership here so theres no reason for me to buy a car wash. Both lanes of the machines have the camera tilted the other way, enabling me to scan my car into the car wash. Please fix your camera system so i dont have to pay for something i have.

I have a pickup truck which can be tricky for car washes to clean. This place did a great job! There wasnt wet spots and soap thrown everywhere from my truck bed and even my tailgate was cleaned.I did have to bounce around to a few stations to get a super high powered vacuum but when I got to a good one itd suck the color off your floor mat.

Best car wash there is! The wash put tons of soap on followed by a good amount of brush swirling followed by massive amounts of water. My car came out sparkling clean with not one soap sud missed during the rinse (Other area car washes leave tons of soap on my car while managing to only get the car soso clean). I brought my banana wax-as-you-dry spray & a waffle weave drying towel with me like I always do to wipe off the little bit of water still that gets left on the car. My car was the cleanest it has ever been from this type of car wash. Cant say enough good about them. I will now be a regular customer

Moves along quickly, does a good job, vacuums powerful, sometimes they don’t wash under the ladder on my Range Rover and the brushes don’t reach there so I have to do that by hand after I’ve driven through - but overall very good results.

Review №36

I paid $40 for the deluxe wash, and the outside was cleaned well, but the inside looked the same as I left it before, nothing was wiped down, like it said on the manual. I should’ve just got the basic wash and cleaned it myself because nothing was deluxe about that. A waste of $40.

Review №39

This is good for a basic wash (be prepared to spend a good bit of time drying your car by hand to prevent spotting, though). When getting a more advanced wash, Ive had issues with blobs of wax/cleaner left on the wheels and some parts of the car. I dont recommend anything beyond the basic wash.

Review №40

I was recommended by a friend, and said it was the best detail she had ever had for a reasonable price and decided to try it out. My experience was not even close. Nothing wiped was off, there was still dust on my dashboard, still had mud on door, and my seats were not vacuumed. The only thing that was clean wad my mats. To top it all off, my car smelled like body odor for an hour afterwards. Worst detail ever, will never go back. I hate to write a hateful review, but it is the truth.

Before coming to Blue Rain Express Car Wash, I pretty much thought all car washes were the same. But this place is AMAZING! The people make the difference - and they have a unique track that your car rides on easily, plus they use reclaimed water. Great service and they even got all the messy stuff cleaned up from under / behind my sons carseat. 5 stars!!! Love it.

The lady at the entrance is very.friendly and helpfulGreat personality......and talked me into the detailing.The young man Reggie that cleaned my car was very polite and helpful but the manager I guess...the dark.skinned guy with the dreads yelled to Reggie.....woohoo only spend 15 minutes and roll.it up. I know its been a minute since my car has been detailed but that was very impolite and rude and your sign does not say how dirty the car is determines the price the sign says car detailing $25 I paid my 25 I expected my car to be detailed not rushed. I just felt that was very unprofessional and uncalled for they should look at the cars then before they determine the price

I am a monthly member here and really like the car wash provided by the machine. But, last night I took my wifes brand new suv in and the kid who uses the long brush at the beginning of the wash, to clean the front grill and back bumper, was extremely rough. He put about a three inch surface scratch on the back bumper. It buffed out, but if it happens again I wont be using this place. Issue was brought up to manager on duty at the time. He didnt say much and seemed to smirk at the issue.

Review №61

Excellent car wash. Heres why: Weve had bad experiences with two other places in town putting acid on our rims and destroying the finish. Yes, acid will eat brake dust better than soap, it its one way to get the rims so they arent black without having to scrub them. And yes, acid is safe on Chrome rims. But is also not safe on any other type of wheel, and it will permanently damage all other wheel finishes, removing the shiny outer coating, and leaving them dull and even yellowed. Far too many car washes and body shops will just use acid indiscriminately because they are lazy and / or ignorant. And Ive had people tell me it was safe, I told them okay go ahead, they spray it on there, and then we watched it eat off my rims and turn them yellow before our very eyes. So, I dont want ANY car wash doing anything to my rims, because I just dont trust people with this.So what I like about Blue Rain is that you can ask the attendant to disable the wheel cleaner / shine, and they will turn it off, and you just get the regular soap and water on the rims, which is more than enough for most cars, and you can hand wash the rims if you have stubborn brake dust caked on. Another great thing is they have an undercarriage wash, which is surprisingly hard to find.To sum up:Undercarriage wash + disabled rim cleaner + $15 price tag = Awesomeness.

I have been coming to Blue Rain for past three weeks since leaving Mister ,and upon coming this young lady is always working hard and smiling I joked with her my first day about being the only one working because she went from explaining and helping me decide what wash I wanted to getting me into the wash and by time I was coming out of wash she was giving out towels today I I had problem with my tire shine and informed her ,she apologized and came right out and fixed the problem, upon her finishing I told her she needed a promotion joking and she told me she was the assistant manager I was amazed I havent seen a manager work so hard usually, they are the ones directing not working she moves likes its three of her thank you ms Johniese for your kindness and great work ethic!!

Never going back again. Rude Manager. Bad business. Employee was trying to clean the dust and tires. After employee applied the tire shine, Manager demands for $14. Don’t mind paying if it was not in the package I purchased but his approach was demanding to pay $14 and VERY RIDE & STARING.

Second visit: Went by on my way home and it was closed. Wait ... google says you are open till 7:00pm and it is 6:10. Not good. Lost another star. Strike two. First visit: It is big and fancy with free vacuums. The issue I had with my one and only experience was they did not have the brush guys like GooGoo does and the machine only cleaned one side of my car. I think the person did not line me up good and my car is small but still you would expect the whole car to be clean. I plan on going back soon to give them one more chance.

I have brought our cars and my son, daughter-in-law and grandsons cars to Blue Rain since it opened. I detail fleet cars for a local company and bring all their cars to do the initial wash and interior cleaning at the Pelham location before initiating the specialized detailing I have developed over the decades I have enjoyed the joy of this renewal process. I am retired from the UAB Health System and detail cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats. My personal experiences at Blue Rain have always been pleasant. The car wash is state of the art and the fact that they recycle their wash water is a definite plus. The vacuum cleaners are extremely efficient and clean interiors better than any vacuum I have ever used. The management is both pleasant and interested in customer satisfaction. They are unique in a business that tends to ignore their customers and focus on revenue instead. The art of customer service is not a part of their business plan.Blue Rain treats their customers with respect and their customers display their loyal to them by repeat business and recommending them to friends and nrighbors. I consider Blue Rain as a model for car washes in general and no one else comes close. I have tried all of them and Blue Rain has no competition. I appreciate their consistent commitment to excellence.

Vacuum was broken.Tire air hose was broken.Card machine wasn’t working.Not able to pre-wash car like the Pelham one; instead, a single brush stroke was done by an employee before entering the wash.Windshield washer fluid not offered.No floor mat cleaner like Pelham.Had to manually finish cleaning tires because the one I paid for only turned them muddy-brown.Had to manually finish wiping windshield to get bird droppings off.When neither the machines nor the employees are working, it’s not worth going to. I left drenched in sweat from cleaning my own car with the hand towels to get the job done (as much as could be considering the broken things).Won’t be back.
