This place was amazing to me. I don’t live in the area and wanted to get my car vacuumed and had a really pleasant experience

Place is the scam; never go there ; they washed may car in 5 min and charged 28 dollars; car is not clean; very bad wash inside and outside; I have pictures to prove; hope this business will close; very bad ; I usually pay for good service, but I had to pay for bad, because they scammed me ; never go there; owner if you read this I hope you read this...shame on you...

Been going to this car wash for 3 years now and never have had a problem. Paid $68 for a car wash and seat scrub. They did a poor job with the car wash. Originally thought, they had chipped my wife’s windshield, but after reviewing their camera footage it did not occur here. I fixed my review to reflect only the quality of the wash. I will continue to come here, as it was the the first time they did a poor job. We came in near the end of their day, so it’s understandable.

This place is horrible !!!!! I spent $55 with a tip and they did horrible job...Choose a different place that actually will appreciate you and actually do quality job...they will just SCAME YOU FOR YOUR $$$$ !

I got a wash and detail at the end of the day. They were very kind to take me as the last car of the day even though I pulled up 10 minutes before close. Very hard workers and very nice! Did a great job on my car. Would definitely recommend

These guys really give it their all. Ive been here several times already and they always take the time to clean my car perfect inside and out. I like that they use pressurised air to get all the water out of the mirrors so you dont get those water spots on the side of the front doors. 5 stars all the way!

I cant even imagine this place ever getting a bad review! THIS IS THE BEST HAND CAR WASH EVER!!! I drive from Gurnee because of their excellent customer service and excellent service! They have cleaned our mustang and our Cadillac and they go above and beyond with their services!!! I wish your business was closer but thats okay, I will keep traveling down to Des Plaines because you are the best!!!

Not for ceramic coated cars. I called to ask, whoever picked up answered “yes, we can accommodate ceramic coated cars”. Upon getting there, I was told they don’t have anything special for ceramic coated cars, and wasted 40 minutes in line. Not a honest business.

This place got very expensive from overtime! I used to wash for 16$ regularly but now it is 25$ and tips. I would rather spend 4$ and clean inside by myself

I have been going here for the last 2 years. It’s a lowkey spot. Great service and quality. People are good. In my area there are self car washes opening drastically, but not many hand car washes. One of the few open since COVID began in Des Plaines.

Was going to this place like 3 times, but wont go anymore. 26$ for inside and outside, but there was dust at front dashboard. Some stains on both windows in the front, and the back of the car wasnt clean fully. Kinda expensive anyway. I would recommend you guys find some cheaper place to have car wash.

I tried many hand care wash places. Castro is hands down the best. Crew is super nice and they do amazing work. Never cut corners and we have been seeing them for many years now.

Review №19

If there is less than a star Ill give it to them. Unfortunately, I brought a car early morning and they told me early bird for small car only. Furthermore, they charge me over $25 for on and out . So I paid before I check their work. Anyway I complained Because they used the vacuum and clean it inside but Ill leave you with the pictures... Believe me if I say its not worthy to spend your money or any time there.... Be careful guys.... :(

Best in the area, I hate machines washes. My mustang has very complex parts and soap gets stuck in the window louvers / duck tail. It’s great to have a human eye clean it instead, they get all the spots.

Over a dozen of cars taken and some done good some lack of detail i believe in supporting small businesses and helping other businesses but charging double and not having it cleaned properly really not giving them a try again. Gave them so many changes and paid full price thank you regardless.

Just went to take my car to get washed, was told it was too low to go through the wash, no biggie, still wanted to get the interior cleaned but when the front desk lady asked whoever it was that needed to be asked, he plain and simply said I’m busy doing something else right now.. definitely not the response I was looking to hear, even though he didn’t even address me, I still heard him. I understand your busy but if you’re running a business you make time for your customers. I’ll take my business elsewhere for places who want to make time for their customers and for their employees who want to make money.

I was pleasantly surprised! I got a Basic In and Out and really didnt expect my car to look so good. There was a bit of a wait at 11:00 on a Thursday, but it was worth it. The service I got would have been far more expensive at another place. Cant wait to come back for a wax.

Review №35

Had my Jeep detailed today. A couple hours of buffing, waxing steaming and washing and my car looks like it just came out of the showroom. Scuffs disappeared, trim, tires and engine now squeaky clean and shiny. My favorite pine sent wrapped up the job. Castros never fails to impress me. Thanks for a great job done

Review №36

Castros family owned and operated, rare to find these days. Great attention to detail, friendly, fast and fun. Definitely recommend.Update 3.13.20: An observation and thought in regards to a gentlemans recent negative review of Castros; In his review, the gentleman stated he spoke to a woman who works at the wash who then went on to relay information to one of the washers. 🤔I wonder if hes reviewing another wash and mistakenly named Castros? 9 years a patron, never once saw a woman working there🤥Hmm.

I called and ask the time of closing and they say 5:30pm and let them know Im on my way. I get here at 5:05 and they closed due to not enough space, what? Waste of drive and time on my behalf.

Review №38

Highly recommend this car wash! Not only did they do a great job washing my car in and out but I lost my engagement ring inside my car a couple of weeks ago & they found it & they were very nice & honest to hand it to me without me even telling them i had lost it. Very honest workers, says a lot about the place! Will continue to bring my car back!

Review №39

Went extra early for a carwash for their before early bird special of $11, but was told they don’t have it anymore. So I said ok, and paid $28 for the best carwash they had only to get disappointed. Not worth $28 for the “best” carwash. They left window streaks when they cleaned it, once I started driving I saw the streaks in the sun. Also they claim in the $28 carwash they put car dash armor, however I do not see it. Not coming here again, over priced for nothing!

Let me first start off by saying that this is one of a handful of reviews I have ever written. I will also say that as far as the actual task of cleaning my vehicle, they did a nice job. Now for the reasoning behind my lack luster rating. I had left quite a few quarters in my door. I had just gotten them to do my laundry, so I knew exactly how much was there. I felt it would be fine leaving them there. However, when all was said and done with the wash I get back in the car and take a quick gander at my door of quarters. About half was gone. The amount of money taken is not my concern. It is merely the principal of it happening. A persons vehicle is a very private space in my opinion and there is a lot of trust letting strangers in that space (at least for me). Very disappointed.

Superb service every time!!! I have been washing my car here for years and they do fabulous job every time. I strongly recommend getting your car detailed here, I have a white car and got it detailed at Castro car wash the car now looks brand new!!! They were able to get rid of many scuff marks,and discolorations, inside of the car is spotless all for reasonable price! I strongly recommend this place !

Review №52

They got us in immediately and did an insane job. Our car had been through hell; sand from the beach, spilled bottle of purple shampoo, general stickiness from hitting drive thrus, a pound of dog hair, and lingering smell of cat pee from an accident on the way to the vet. Now my interior doesnt have a single stain and smells like fresh linens. My front bumper was also slightly misaligned before I came in and they straightened it out and got the seams flush again without me even asking. Would 110% recommend this place to anyone!

I was washing my car here for the last 2 Years , but last 4 times they did a really bad job even if I’ve told them what to do. They even forgot to clean parts of the car . The last time the car was still dirty with mud on the other half (the passenger side ) after the cleaning . I’m really disappointed because I’ve recommended this place to a lot of friends telling them about the perfect cleaning job that they do.
