Two reviewers report that the car was returned with missed dirt, water spots, or new swirl scratches, while several others describe the finish as spotless and the service as excellent; the balance of reviews leans positive, but the recurring complaints about damage and incomplete work mean the outcome is inconsistent. One reviewer was charged double the usual price mid-wash for dog hair, and another was told the cash-only price would rise to £50 on a future visit.

There’s a reason this place always has a queue—they are the best in town. Even with a full lot, they took the time to ensure every spot was clean. Highly recommend if you want a professional job done right.
Been coming here for a while after a great recommendation, but unfortunately after nearly every visit, there are still parts of my car completely missed and dirty. The last time I went (yesterday), there were huge swirl scratches left on the bonnet which definitely weren’t there before. After returning the only solution was to book in for a bespoke polish service. A real shame..
I had an excellent experience here from start to finish. The team was friendly, professional, and paid great attention to detail. My car looks absolutely spotless inside and out—they didn’t miss a single area, and the finish is fantastic. They clearly take pride in their work and provide outstanding customer service. The whole process was quick, efficient, and well worth the price. I highly recommend this car wash to anyone looking for high-quality service. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Really happy with the service. They did a great job cleaning my car—it looks spotless inside and out. The staff were friendly, worked quickly, and paid attention to the little details. Great value for money and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend.
I had my car washed here recently, but unfortunately I was quite disappointed with the result. After the car had fully dried, I noticed obvious water spots/water marks all over the bodywork, especially on the bonnet. I tried cleaning and wiping them off myself, but they would not come off. I understand water marks can sometimes happen after washing, but I would expect the car to be properly dried and checked before handing it back to the customer. The final result was not what I expected from a professional car wash service. I hope the team can look into this issue and improve the drying and finishing process.
Top quality valet everytime
Decided to use these yesterday, Excellent job! However, once outer job was done I parked on the front to get the inside cleaned. As soon as one of the girls started vaccuming the car, she had a face like a Bulldog chewing a Wasp and clearly cursing me in her native tongue. When it was finished I paid the £30 CASH! The staff member then advised me my car was so dirty that next time it would be £50! So going forward, I should wash and vac my car before offending this car wash in the future. £50 for a wash and vac, that you cannot pay by card. Going to the Asian wash and vac at the Goodies for £20 from now on. Whatever happend to Service with a smile?
Quick, efficient and great customer service. Highly recommended
Took my car in for a clean inside and out. The team were quick and efficient. I can no longer clean my car myself so it's great to finally have it all spotless again.
I'm always impressed by how hard the team here works. Even with a line out to the street, they stay friendly and efficient. My car looks great-highly recommend!
We have visited this car wash for years now and always found it amazing, but today my husband was told the car would be £60 rather than the usual £30 AFTER they had already started cleaning it - giving no opportunity to change his mind! They all but forced him to go to the cash point and get out the extra money. The reason for charging extra was “dog hair” but we have both taken our cars there with dog hair in for 2 years and never been charged extra, and there was no extra dog hair than usual. We won’t be coming again.
The Best
Took my car here yesterday and was very happy with the service, the staff are lovely and my car was fresh and sparkly.
Great place to have your car cleaned. It's a bit of waiting, but it's definitely worth it. Staff is very polite and always does a great job👌
