Royal Palm Car Wash is by far the best car wash Ive used so far. My truck had so much dirt and brake dust on the wheels. I didnt think it would clean the truck this well. Highly recommend this place. AWESOME PLACE πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

Do yourself a favor and save your money. Or you would be just as well to throw $14 in the garbage. There are a lot of good car washes around this is not one of them. Its not even love bug season yet. Still had intact bug bodies on my bumper and after paying for a $14 car wash.

The tire treatment will put a film on your vehicle behind youre tires. I believe this is the normal for most tire treatments. I simply wipe it off the paint when I get home. It does not return until the next wash.

Fantastic car wash! Car looked great afterwards and the people I had contact with were very professional. The equipment appears to be newer and everything seems to work just fine. Not sure it’s for large/lifted trucks but that’s pretty typical for these places. I can’t seem to determine if they have a monthly unlimited car wash plan online. If they do I’m signing up.

I tried this for my 1st visit. They did a great job on my car considering it is my dog taxi and gets quite hairy. Good service.

This place is friendly fast and most important it is cleaned regularly. I put a bad review because I wasnt thinking. At the time I wanted to help my ex amber decker and her daughter Brooklyn. These people have been good family to me over the year of visits

First time (last time) customer. Disappointed in the air-dry system. Vehicle still had water on it, which now has left water spots. It will need to be clay-barred to remove all the water marks.better options around with better results for $9

I love that they scrub the whole car before you go through the car wash. They have the mat cleaner and the free vacuum. Wednesday the regular wash is $3.00.

Purchased the $9 silver package. My sons car was covered with stuff from being under our oak tree. We didnt stop to wipe the car down after the wash we just went straight home. When we got out of the car we noticed that the roof was still filthy with oak sap and other places on the car still had dirty marks from the oak tree. I just cant reccomend this car wash.

The scrubbing on the side are not reaching all the way up, only 3 quarters above the windows and nothing to clean the roof part. Not worth it even with the $3 especial on wednesdays.

Spent $12 and Brushes barely touched my car. Hood and front end came out untouched and had to spend more time and money cleaning by hand at. Best part of this car wash were the powerful vacuums. No courtesy glass cleaner or cloths like some washes let you use.

Review β„–45

The only reason im giving it a two star is because the experience was fun. But in all honesty i bought the $6 bronze package witch is just a normal cleaning...and it didnt do a very good job. Maybe it was because it was the cheapest package but in my opinion it was like it did nothing. I went out after with a rag and got the spots it didnt get off and it came off fine. Im not saying it was bad 100%. im just saying mayne dont get the $6 bronze deal.

Probably one of the best places to go to for a car wash. I actually went there the other night got to wash but apparently it didnt clean my car properly so they let me go through a second time. And it really came out Crystal Clean. Plus I got a gift card for a friend of mine

Review β„–52

Worst car wash ever!! Please NEVER take your vehicle to this place. I dropped off my car at 8:07am for the Complete Interior and Exterior Detail (the most expensive option). That service was supposed to take 6-7 hours. I returned to the car wash after 6.5 hrs and they ONLY vacuumed and started working on the seats. ZERO work completed on the outside and interior windows werent cleaned. The manager is incredibly bad at customer service and will go back on what he says. In fact, told me it was going to be zero charge but then charged me $40 for doing the seats. Held my car as hostage. I should have called the police. Anyway, just NEVER EVER EVER go to this place. It gets bad reviews for a reason.

They always make our Benz look good which is tough because it is a convertible with the soft top. Deducted one star for never getting the wheels that clean.

Review β„–62

This place is garbage. Yeah, it washes but it does not dry at all. When I looked at my rims, they were still dirty. I touched it and dirt came right off so Im guessing the machine never even touched it. This is the second time I went and Im the person who gives businesses a couple of chances before writing a review. This is also the second time that my car came still completely wet with my rims still dirty. I ended up drying it myself by driving around. I do have my receipt to prove that I was there.

Review β„–67

I ran my dirty bug crusted truck through this car wash, the guy that gets you going through it hand brushed the most effected spots before it went through, that alone was going above and beyond in my opinion.The car wash is amazing, it wasnt its fault but my truck was super dirty, I asked to go again...Chad inspected it and agreed that it needed to go through again......This guy deserves a pat on the back!!!Job well done Chad!!!

Review β„–68

This is very close to where I live. You can pay from your car window to access the carwash. Ive used this place many times and it used to be better because your car was actually dry when you exited. Nowadays, the front of your doesnt get dry. This is disappointing. Free do it yourself vacuuming after wash. The u.s. even a machine that you can put your floormats in to clean. Again, no extra charge. The men who take care of your car are very nice and friendly. Oh, and they have vending machines out front what you can purchase window wipes or shammy (sp) cloths to dry car with, and other items like air fresheners.

Review β„–69

(ALL Automated ONLY) Dont waste your money or time! It offers different prices for different washes, but when you go to pay, (cards only) the price is $14. Car is only air dried. Bring your towels, youll need them!!! Left lots of dirt on my car. NEVER going back!

Review β„–70

Not a full service place but good to just get the road grime off your car and use the free vacuum.

Review β„–71

I never know for certain if I get what Ive paid for given high traffic times BUT the car wash is decent. In comparison, the other car washes on Cortez alone hand dries and vacuums each vehicle or sprays air fresheners and offer visible options for interior (including windows + door jams) and wheel detailing for around another $5 and offer rewashes if it rains within 24-48 hours or just because you want it washed again. On the staff: Generally friendly, not the most engaging, but cordial nonetheless. You always wish theyd brush the car a little more on the lower parts of the car, BUT at least they do! If youre in a hurry and there isnt a line (which doesnt happen everyday) this type of wash may be for you, but if youre really wanting the car to sparkle there are two washes within a mile or so east or west of this midpoint that will give your car a pampering that youd typically have to spend twice the time to get. This is not a bad review it is merely a guides opinion that there are other options that may offer better or lets just say more robust services. The wash on Manatee offers full buffing and hand waxing and elite detailing, but only by appointment. I also think hiring a mobile car washer might get you that fresh out of the chair feeling like a good haircut if youre into that.

Review β„–75

Great location close to central Bradenton, plenty of wash bays for such a busy area, cheapest vacuums in town. Has every type of cleaning ,polishing, waxing, washing and drying materials vending machines a person out to clean their vehicle could need. The vacuums and shampoo machines are covered with roofs so no matter the weather your quest to clean up the interior wont be compromised. Theres also a automatic car wash with multiple levels of clean depending on your needs. Last but not least it has 4 seperate coin machines if they malfunction it shares a parking lot with a laundry mat with many coin machines.

Good car wash, but the hours are simply awful. Closure happens at 6:00 pm, right as I am about to go out and greet clients in my car. Sunday closure is at 4:00 pm, if you can believe that. What year is it, again?

Im from out of state and was surprised by how much more attention I got at the automatic car wash from the attendant. I wasnt just rushed through as I thought I would be and the attendant to the times scrub down any kind of bugs they were on my front bumper and windshield. I was impressed for the type of service I received for the price it is a self vacuuming car wash but that is okay with me if it keeps the costs down.

Review β„–82

Just back from a trip and had lots of bugs. Bought the Platinum service. Asked the surly attendant to pay a little extra attention to the front end. Well, what a joke! Seriously the worst car wash ever! Not even the windshield looked clean. I brought the car home and washed it myself! For $14, I expect more than a dirty car in return. My first time there and obviously my last!!

Review β„–92

Our experience was not the best. Our car was dirty and had bugs from traveling. A guy tried to wipe some off ahead of time, and then sent us through the carwash. We were in the car the entire time so didnt notice until we drove away that they sprayed wax over the remaining dirt and bugs, which are now impossible to remove. Not satisfied!! Wont return there.
