Our Take

Most reviewers report a poor or incomplete clean, with several mentioning damage—a broken petrol cap, peeling chrome, and spilled cleaning fluid—or attempts to charge extra for a dirty car. A minority describe a fast, friendly wash at a fair price, but the overwhelming verdict is to avoid this wash.

Don’t even bother. Cost me an arm and leg to wash my car here and they did a terrible job. Don’t say you haven’t been warned

Please don’t go there only if you really have to. Absolutely ridiculous behaviour from staff and dirtiest car washed ever. I wish I can share body pics bit it not visible due to reflection.

It doesn't wash anything, it's very bad.

BROKE MY PETROL CAP Absolute joke of a service, erratic man was cleaning my car, popped my petrol cap while cleaning and completely swiped it off while cleaning it stupidly. I own a 26 plate car, get my car washed every week and I never had this issue, on top of that they could not provide me with an email, absolute stupidity. The manager of the place doesn’t have a company email either, run by a bunch of clowns. Now I have to message or call a random number, without a follow up email.

Semi decent car wash. Very small and tight to get in as it shares the space with a car repair shop. Quality of hand wash is mediocre at best but it's fairly reasonably priced for the area. They do offer full valet also.

The positive: they take card payment. Friendly, polite staff and if speed is important to you they get the job done fast (which may be the ultimate problem) I opted for the relatively expensive mini valet £24.95 (for my very small car). Unfortunately, despite being well staffed the exterior wash is very average to poor and it's the same for the interior. At close inspection the hoovering is poor with lots a dirt left (in both front compartments) and they don't take the mats out (like some other car wash set ups). Hoovering was better in the back. They spilt blue cleaning liquid on my front seat fabric. I noticed one of the chrome on my switches now pealing (all I can say I never noticed this before). They do not touch the boot (again, this is usually offered and at least wiping the interior sides). Passenger seat was just left, not even set. Lots of areas not cleaned. If you are desperate for a car wash as I was it will just about do. I just don't understand: they are in the business of cleaning cars, you would think it would be done well, the clean inspected and a little bit of attention to detail (but they clearly don't care). With these businesses they go through so many ownership changes I think it's a case of make some money, rinse, repeat. I will not be returning and it's also a big wake up call just to clean your own car (if you have access to what you need).

It was the lowest level of service I’ve ever received. I wouldn’t recommend it — even if it were free.

Very poor service they left the car half done and want to charge more money for cleaning that other car washes included as standard. Never again

Abysmal. If your car is slightly more dirty than normal they ask you to roll the windows down and charge you double the advertised price. I have seen staff physically fight each other. It was so bad I got out of the car telling them to stop as it was scaring my children. Whole place has a feeling of organised crime. Avoid.

Worst car wash in London, tried to over charge. Didn’t clean the sills, streaky and unfinished. Avoid

I wish I had read the reviews! They charged me more saying the car was dirty. They did not clean the car properly. I will not go back again.
