So far so good - seems like a great deal for me. Cant drive with a broken back but at least I can polish the fenders - Billy JoelOr get the fenders polished in this case. I belonged to the Tommys Car wash, but this car wash is just as good if not better & closer to me. Theres two locations which makes it more convenient.I like having clean vehicles so getting my car washed, and dried within 5 minutes works well for me. Not having to get out of the car - even better. Love places like this. Nothing says convenient more than this place.Sign up at River Club car wash and stop wasting time washing and drying it yourself. They use soft water so you dont get any water spots.

My daughter and I went to this car wash and I was referred by my boyfriend to get the membership. I pulled up to the window and was helped by Nathen. He was WONDERFUL! He went over all options, made sure he got all of my boyfriends info for the referral, came out to ensure he got my membership form, and also was very happy to be working for this location along with the one on 64. He made sure I knew where both were and that I had access to both. As he was speaking with me a lady had pulled up who had a broken leg and had trouble with the vacuum at the gas station across the way. She asked if anyone could help her. It was slow so he had her pull around since she had a disability. He quickly started vacuuming and myself and daughter also went and lent a hand. This by no means was necessary nor was probably something that can be done very often as its typically pretty busy, but wow! Talk about above and beyond! Great job Nathan! He is an asset to your business and a wonderful reflection to the family owned leadership you clearly are ensuring is represented. THANK YOU for keeping him happy and going above and beyond. Love this place and I will be spreading the word!!!

Nathan is the best! Personable, sweet and makes sure you leave happy with your wash. My car was covered in bird mess and he made sure to tell me to treat it before going through the wash at the bug station and offered to help reach the top since I couldnt. Above and beyond service. He will be the reason I send all my family there. Thank you for making my night!

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! This place is worse than a gas station touch free wash. Wont even take light dirt off. I have been through this place multiple times because it is close to the house. And I tried their monthly membership for a few months till I found out that it doesnt actually clean my vehicle. Management couldnt care less. Showed them the dirt still remaining on my car several times and their response was to wash your car at home before coming here if you want it clean. Then they said I should pay for a higher priced ultimate wash if I wanted it clean. Only time I use them now is if I want my vehicle rinsed off. Absolutely worthless. There are many washes in the area and they are all better than this place!

I’ve been a member for a few months there’s then a price increase and without notice they raise my price I was grandfathered into $18 a month it went up five dollars and they didn’t notify me. The other day I went through there and the brushes were adjusted to come in closer to the cars and it ripped my front license plate off my Toyota. I called today to question the membership price no manager working? Should call back tomorrow. I may cancel my membership you can’t raise prices without notifying customers that are on a contract.

I went to the car wash and was greeted with a bucket and a brush on a long pole. They are scamming to apply Bug Wash when you are really washing the your own car. I just paid them to rinse my car after I washed it myself.Go to Jax on Route 64 for an immaculate bumper to bumper car wash!

This is a great car wash they offered free vacuum for paid washes

Review №12

Doesnt answer the phone, overpriced, doesnt offer tire shine except for highest paid teir, bad quality vacuums dont have good suction most of the time, bug prep station is a joke, only 2 spots and completely useless. Who knows how old and dirty that water is too. The wash itself also is not the best.

Review №13

I only spent $7.00 for the express car wash because it was my first time here and I’m pretty impressed. Next week I’ll upgrade to the next level up. The vacuum was very very strong. I’m a happy camper. I wish that had done a before pic of my car. Oh well.

Below was my initial feedback and the owner was in touch with me to work through the issue. I sincerely appreciate their follow up and dedication to customer service. Any business owner that is willing to take the time to get things right the first time earns my business 100%. Thank you River Club Car Wash!.....Why is it this location is so much worse than the location on SR64? The staff at the 64 location are so much more helpful and dont have the attitude. Rudeness will get you now where. Maybe it has just been the few times I have been here, but it seems to be intrenched in the culture. Honest feedback...talk to the 64 location, they really do have a better service.

I like the service and looking to sign up for monthly membership. My advice to owner is allow for easy membership online. And allow for last wash to apply to monthly cost as other establishments Ive used. This concept led to a blank stare from the cashier.

Review №21

Its a very clean place, great for cars and small SUVs. But for full size trucks and SUVs its a pretty difficult place to get in ant out of. The entrance is so small it may be a nightmare for some whos trucks or SUVs come with low profile tires! 7 out of 10 youll scrape your rims!

Review №22

Ive been looking for a good car wash, and I finally found it. My car was spot-free and their vacuums even had great suction that was usable. Dont opt for the lesser ones, get The Works. Youll be glad you did. They dont have the rails which makes it perfect for low profile sports cars. Cars ride on a belt. I think the monthly rate is too high, but if I were getting 5 washes or more a month, itll definitely be worth it. I definitely recommend this Car Wash.

Review №23

One of my favorites! I do think they need long dryer time and better tire shine but over all they are good !

Review №24

Does a good Job washing the cars and the vacuums have pretty good suction. However some of the negative things is in regard some of the car wash sprayers don’t work. It’s unfortunate when you buy deluxe package and the spray on wax and wheel cleaner doesn’t actually reach your vehicle. Also their car mat cleaner any better than just vacuuming it. The State Road 64 location has water suction Car mat cleaners which work amazing. Will use their newer location on State Road 64 which seems to be much better up-kept.

They do not treat their employees right. The cars come out fine but I refuse to do business with a company that has their young workers in a metal glass bubble spraying water during a lightning storm, with a high risk of electrocution. Also, firing employees due to medical reasons. Poor management and ownership!

Review №48

Horrible. I was yelled at by a young man who thought he should tell me whats best for me since I was pre washing bugs off the side of my car from the mower spitting up stuff on my car. He proceeded to tell me I could only use the pre treat brush on the front of my car. No where else.He should save his energy for more productive activities instead of harassing women.He said nothing to the male cop in front of me who did this to his entire cruiser before going into the wash.

Review №50

On the spendy side for a single visit, but an entire month of unlimited visits for 2x the single visit price. This is how they hooked me. You dont have to get out of your car, it is very quick, and they stay open until 6:30 (?) So I can get my car washed on the way home from work. They are also open on the weekends. I have unlimited visits with the deluxe/everything package (it includes the hot wax) for less than a dollar a day.

Had a issue at Car wash today, car in front of me wasnt moving at the tire shine, no attendants around to stop belt and my car ending up pushing against this car in front when I Asked for a Manager, He Came and for our names and then said you guys can exchange insurance info the car wash is not responsible. I cancelled my membership on the spot . Maybe the car wash needs to hire a few more people to watch whats going on or maybe DON`T PUT THE CARS SO CLOSE TOGETHER Just a common sense thought.

I just went your car wash and got the works package. I went through in a minute. My tires didn’t have shine. I said I didn’t get the works package. He said yeah, you did. I said my tires are not even shined. He said yeah they are. Then he goes to the other side and nope they’re not on this side. He said keep in mind you used a free coupon. It was my welcome to Lakewood Ranch coupon, since I bought property here. Great job! I used to have a little car detail shop was a teen so I know a little about Black Magic, Megiures, and so on.

Review №61

Showed up at 7:52, 8 minutes before they open. Figured I would vacuum the car out until they opened before I got the car washed. I was then prompted that it wasn’t an option. Asked why I can use the vacuums that are on instead of sitting there for 8 minutes till they opened, “because you can’t” was the response. I mean I get you don’t open for 8 minutes but seriously.

Car not lined up properly by kid. This car wash is not like others with metal wheel rails to keep car on belt. Car went off to side hit an obstruction and did severe damage. They were extremely rude and said my fault calling me a liar over and over. They will not give you their insurance carriers name. On your own. Will have to sue

Review №65

Even in love bug season they dont touch your car and theres no provision for the customer to start the process of getting the nasty creatures off of my car. We left without using them, it would be useless. They get 2 stars for the nice lady at least warning me.

The washing system is outstanding, easy on the car and delivers an outstanding carwash . The vacuum make stations are outstanding one for each side of your car. Its quick and easy to get in. For the money it can not be beat. We have had a membership there for over 4 months and enjoy it.

Good for the suds and high pressure water rinse. Have gone through numerous times because the tire shine does not get half the tire and looks terrible. The vacuums have average suction at best. Hopefully the new on on 64 will be better.

Great car wash. Never seems to be a line more than 2, maybe 3 cars but they keep them moving quickly. There is no detailing (the only negative), but they do have free vaccums you can use with any wash. They offer unlimited car washes for a very reasonable price with a couple different packages as low as $18 per month (great for this Florida weather). Some places charge more than that for 1 wash.

Used to be my favorite place but its not worth coming here in the summer or love bug season. Even the most expensive wash will not get them off. God forbid you ask for a second wash they will look at you side ways.

Review №73

Although I do quite like this car was in the sense that I can bring my car through 20 times in a day if I really wanted to and it would still cost me the same amount per month. Granted I only bring my car through maybe 3 times a week and it leaves my car and my tires looking very shiny 24/7. The tire shine and wax actually lasts a very long time if you neglect to take your car to he washed again. Now the reason why I had to give a 4 star review is because this car wash is trash at completly cleaning bugs off the front. What I like to do is consistently bring my car through here to keep it looking shiny and well taken care of throughout the week and then once or twice a month take the time to scrub the bugs off the front of my car myself so that they dont eat the paint!

Review №77

Got a basic $18 membership for a company car, and its been great to run it through really quick every few days and keep it vacuumed nice. Im not sure about the experience on larger cars, but the car I drive is a small Mitsibushi Mirage, and the front bumper just doesnt get enough attention. I figure this is because its so low to the ground, but other people may have the same experience.Either way...great location, great membership. Im glad theyre coming to SR-64 as well. That works great for me!

Got The Works $17 wash and was completely unsatisfied. Unable to get bugs off windshield or front of car. Better off paying more for a hand wash. Expected more from best performance wash. Spot free rinse certainly not spot free.Dont get me wrong, certainly an improvement vs not washing....however, dont get your hopes up for a high performance wash.

Review №91

I have been a customer almost since it opened. Within the past several months it seems like every time I stop by to wash a vehicle it has been closed due to maintenance. For a couple months prior half of the spinning brushes were operating. When I stopped by to end the he agreement they never asked if they could do anything to bring me back as a customer. The vacuumes were never very strong. It is located in a good location but that is all I can compliment them on. I will be using the company down the street.

Review №95

Im in disbelief. For 32 years Ive avoided car washes. Too dangerous/harsh and dont really clean. I took my 2015 Challenger SRT through this thing today and I simply cannot believe how well it worked. Car was spotless afterward and it even cleaned 3 weeks of brake dust off the wheels with no problem! I dont think I get the car any cleaner doing it myself! It seems much gentler than the cheap car washes: on the cheap ones you can hear the spinners slapping against your car but not here. I inspected the paint when done: not a scratch on it! Ill be joining the club for sure!Update: Im now a member and have been through the wash about 8 times. Ive inspected my car closely and have yet to find even one micro scratch but I suppose all cars are different and may respond to the wash differently. So maybe try it out once and inspect closely before you become a member.

Review №96

Car wash did not get car spotless as some other users have mentioned. Does a good job of the sides, but misses the hood and trunk of car. Also, the bristles on the brushes scratched the paint on my brand new car. Would not recommend. You are better off hand washing your vehicle.

Review №98

This place is nice looking and clean, but the wash leaves a lot to be desired. I got their best wash, and went through twice to try to get some bird poop off my hood from a few days earlier. When I told the girl that the first time didn’t work, she asked if a bird had pooped on it within the 30 seconds that I finished the wash and drove around the building after I saw it was still there. Slightly amusing, but whatever, she sent me through again. Alas, still there. Went to a car wash I normally go to on 64, and they had it clean 10 minutes later for $5 less. I really wanted to like this place, but I doubt I’ll ever be back.
