Got the $10 wash. It ran over the car ONE time and this is what I got. Yes it was the cheapest but come on $10 for this? Dont waste your money here!Responce: the back as you can see was completely missed!

I have been disappointed with area car washes since moving back to Fairlington Village in S. Arlington. Daves Car Wash is frequently recommended and they are good, but they dont do interior work and is very expensive. Mr. Car Wash in Mt. Vernon is overpriced. Sparkle on Rt. 1 is terrific, but too far away. Stumbled across this Shell Car wash on Columbia pike just south of Rt. 7 while on a shopping trip nearby, and was really happy with the prices and the excellent job they do to pre-wash and soak the car. Not the best wash and the automatic dryers are weak but at $10 or $12 for the top wash, it ranks number one in book. They do have a pay vacuum if needed. And the hours are outstanding: 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. everyday. Thats terrific.

This place surely deserves 5 stars. Best car wash in the area with reasonable prices and friendly staff. And if you get gas you can save $1.50.Got the MAX car wash for $10.50 and results are amazing. Highly recommended.

Fantastic customer service. They have great value. The attendance are very kind and patient. This is my favorite go-to car wash. I went here a few days ago to remove bird poop on my car and vacuuming, now my car is spotless, it’s amazing!Professional car wash.

Really good car wash. Other car washes do not get the back bumper and trunk area. This one doesn’t miss a spot! I recommend to all my friends.

Excellent experience at the car wash. Special thanks to Mr. MIKE. Who had run the car through the car wash machine thrice just to confirm there isnt any remnants of mud as I did not wash my car since 3 months and had all salt and mud deposited due to snow. Very nice location to have a car wash. Would recommend all.

Excellent car wash for the price, which is $8 to $12 depending on the package you select. Convenient and the brushes don’t bang on your car like some drive-thru washes do.

Great place, leaves my car wash shiny with the Max wash. An attendant is always available to help with directions.

I go with my father every week to get his car washed. We usually get the max wash which has the lava bath and shine wax. I’ve noticed that the workers there were always kind to us.

Great service . Nice and decent people . Prices are reasonable . When you get 7 car washes , you get one free . They are very professional and spend more time to make sure your car is clean and perfect . I use this car wash on weekly basis .

Review №18

This used to be a my go-to car wash - reasonably priced for the service. The attendant would even rinse down your car with a pressure washer beforehand.The last two times have not been the same. The attendant told me that the power washer might damage the paint on my car. And the washes have done little good to actually clean anything off the car.I suggest going to a car wash where the employees will spot-check your car on the other side.

If you need a car wash you should visit them once. I can bet you will go back to them again. The car wash is done in professional way. The rates are good for car wash. Good customer care as well. It is highly recommended. Need to take care of your car visit them.

This car wash does a good job and is relatively inexpensive. The guys that run the car wash are very honest people and very kind. I went through the wash once and heard someone coming up yelling to stop the car. It was the car wash attendant and he was unhappy that there was a little smudge of dirt remaining on my car and requested I turn around and get another wash. I was thoroughly impressed with their honesty and customer service. ALSO... they give you a punch card that after 11 washes, the 12th is free! Big Bonus. My go to spot.Highly recommended car wash!!!

Pretty good car wash. A friend of mine gave me a code to get a free wash and it was really great.The soap this auto wash uses smells fantastic!This car wash is fast, friendly and does an awesome job for a great price.I was in a rush so I didn’t use the vacuums, But they looked really good and my car really could have used it.I think $12 bucks is a great price for not getting out of your car to wash it its not to bad.

This automatic carwash barely took the dirt off the car. Wiped down small part of the window and corner panel and the rag was black. Save your money and go to a car wash where they scrub your vehicle. Do not recommend as it is the same price as other, more effective car washes.

The best carwash in the Area. I get my carwash done every week since I park my car under a tree. The pressure cleaning at the beginning takes off all the bird poop which is good. MIKE is very professional and very nice and will help you with the best he can. Highly recommend.P.S there are vacuum cleaners on site which are cheap and easy to use.

Their washing machine has design problem which it may destroy your tire and rim and cause a flat tire. Mine car wheel was destroyed by machine and cause flat tire. Need to be towed to dealership for tire muzzle change. Towing was 160$ muzzle change and labor was 100. Never gonna go this place again

Attendant did not have a mask on. We’re in a pandemic regardless if it’s outside a person needs to have a mask on.

Solid wash at a reasonable price. Their system seems to get your car drier than other similar drive thrus. Some of the full service car washes aren’t doing interior vacuuming due to Covid so might as well do the drive thru wash!

Got the max service for $12. It didn’t even clean my vehicle. Which wasn’t that dirty to begin with. He stopped the car wash at one point and had me roll down my window to adjust the wheels

Review №37

When I pulled up to the establishment, the gentleman just kept saying Its twenty dollars! When I asked if the establishment had a drive through option, he just looked at me and said No, its twenty dollars! I regret to say the attendant was not the most helpful even though I understand the urgency of the nature of the business, I kind of felt yelled at.

Ok wash way overpriced. $9 for the most basic option. Definitly not worth it.

The car wash attendant was awesome. My car was destroyed by bird poop, couldn’t see out of my windshield bad. He sent me through the wash twice for the price of one wash to get as much off as possible. Greatly appreciated.

This car wash is located at the shell station. I love getting a discount when buying gas with the car wash. I usually get the works but sometimes I get the Max for the turtle ice shine. Its quick and the whole thing takes about 5 minutes

I love getting a car wash here while I am sitting in my car. And every once in a while I use the vacuums which are usually busy. They have some sort of a discount if you buy the car wash with gas, which is great since I buy both anyway.

Review №44

Service attendant was rude and impatient. I was like sir calm down because I don’t do well with rude I’m giving you a warning. It’s the tall guy. The short stalky guy was amazing who fixed my car when a piece fell off my car. The tall was impatient and didn’t know how to talk to me and when I ask him to give my card back he snatched back in my hands and I went off. He lucky I’m an adult because he would have got it.

Car Wash not functioning. Dont bother driving out here for that reason. And ifiyoure here for the fuel, be aware that they charge higher than the listed price per gallon if youre using a credit card like most people do at a gas station in 2019.

Review №55

Almost as good as doing it yourself... I missed the self-service car wash at the Shell on Leesburg Pike (nearby) now that its closed, and I couldnt find a self-service carwash, so this was the best I could come up with. What sets this apart from the others is that an attendant is waiting right before you enter the actual car wash. You can pay him with cash/credit. He will spray your car with high pressure water before you enter the car wash - which was amazingly helpful as my car hood and windshield were coated with gunk and plaster. I didnt think that an automatic car wash could get it off, but with the help of the pre-wash spray, it got rid of everything.Its also very helpful to have the attendant there to remind you to put your car in neutral, take the foot off the break, close your windows, and keep your car running.

Needed to wash some bad bird droppings on my car, so I saw this car wash on my way home. It looked like the only one in this area that was quick. I had my doubts that it would clean everything off with just the carwash but the attendant there sprayed this bug and bird spray and then used a power washer to make sure everything came off, and man was I impressed. I came out of he carewash and the paint looked brand new! I think it was their turtle ice wax that was the cherry on top, now the paint is even more glossy than before. Overall its the best carwash in the area for the time and money spend. Definitely will come back and recommend to anyone passing in the area! 10/10
