This place has really gone down hill in the least year. Washing bays are always filthy. Foaming brush has a 20-30 second delay on it and then doesn’t even spit out much foam. Rubbish bins are overflowing so much it looks like they haven’t been emptied in years. Also the airmaxx blower ate my money. Go elsewhere

  • Tara Laursen

More like Really Average Car Wash. I bought the highest tier wash for my company car, but you could hardly tell it had ben through the wash. In addition, the machine didn't provide a receipt and despite phone calls and follow up, the proprietors have not bothered to issue one. Waste of time, waste of money

So, got my car washed and vacuumed after what seems like a VERY long time (ok, more than a year, lol). This car wash was good value for money. I didn't have to wait very long for a spot. The only gripe would be that I think they need better

  • Lluvbagel

Took my car for $16 wash. First my payment didn't go thru due to some connection issue. The machine then asked me to tap my card again for payment. I found 2 similar charges in my account the next day. Called and they said they will refund

  • Alhana Hehir

Used to find this place half decent but after today I will only use this place for emergencies. The soaps didn’t well, soap or clean, meaning it’s only the pressure getting the dirt off (I don’t ever use the brushes because it’s a massive

AUTO CAR WASH DOES NOT WORK LIKE IT USED TO. The owner was there that day so after offering him feedback he advised my car was too dirty & I should wash it around minimum every 2 weeks. It had been one month since the last wash & I don't

  • Ricardo Alarco

It was an interesting experience. I opted for the DIY section. There is an automatic machine also. On the DIY, you choose a bay and you get to do your vaccuming first. The vaccums are ok for generic purposes not for detail work. 1 dollar

  • robert ieraci

The best touch free car wash I have ever used. After a $17 wash my van looks increadable. After it washes the dirt off it covers the vehicles in a polish, wax and surface protection. It leaves the vehicles with a coat that repels water.

  • Adam Tek

Firstly, the auto wash machine had no receipt paper and therefore couldn’t print a receipt. I legally need it for tax reasons. That aside, the machine was also sputtering and not covering the car with soap as it should have on the first

  • Janet A

This is my useful local. Pretty standard offerings, no idea if I get good value but I drive away with a clean car, inside and out for about $12 and a bit of manual labour. I've not had cause to complain before today - an issue with the

  • Charlie Hancock

Facilities are okay, bins always overflowing whenever I go. Vacuums work fine, noting only some take card, others only take $1/$2 coin. FYI the change machine only takes notes, no cash out facility provided. Washing bays are also fine.

  • Angelique Carroll

I HIGHLY recommend this car wash, as the owner personally came out to help me with my car and was AMAZING! He did more than expected and is the real deal. I'll definitely be going back to use the service which left my car super clean.

  • Emmuna Aloni

Had some dramas, machine took my money but didn’t work. Got in touch with the owner at his earliest convenience and refunded the money. Appreciate the way it was handled, will continue bringing my business to the carwash. Thank you!

  • Barney 323

Paid $12 for the auto car wash - did not wash - was a light rinse at best and left dirt and soap suds over car. Had to go home and hand wash - won't return. I paid for a service a didn't receive GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!

  • Lachie

Usually don't have to wait for a bay and there actually seems to be a decent amount of soaps in that flow through. I went to the effort of reviewing a cash wash place, it's has better than your ordinary car wash.

  • ظل الہی رضا

Highly recommend cheaper than most hand car wash and give you extra time limit to wash your car whenever I'm in town I use this Brilliant car wash and the vacuum suction is also better then some other car wash.

  • John Gayler

$20 for the top tier auto wash which essentially just got the car wet and didn't actually clean the dirt off. I'm now going to have to go elsewhere to do the job properly. Don't waste your money here.

  • Thijs Vrieselaar

Went for the self serve hand wash. Was afraid I would get complaints for doing the two bucket thing, but everything was fine. Machines worked well and the water was clean. Would certainly go again.

  • Leena H

Apparent from a little old brush , water pressure, cleanliness, easy access, $1/$2 coin or card from $2 ($2.20), fresh bubbly pink foam and drying parking spots etc all ticked ✔️ ☆4.8

  • Aaron Aaronson

one of the few car washes in the area where you don't have to talk to someone. just pull up and start the wash. no complaints here, got the deluxe for $12 and my car is fairly clean. It

  • Lachlan Wells

The touchless autowash breath of mist was no match for the spiderwebs on my Focus. $10 later, I learned that only way to do it is to use the self serve race-against-the-clock wash bays.

  • Alex Iwanov

Automatic wash doesn't remove anything beyond a bit of dust. A complete waste of time and money. All I did was pay $16 to make the outside of the car wet, all the dirt remains.

  • Mariana Podestá Diverio

Machine ate two of my gold coins I wanted to use to avoid the hefty card surcharge. Now chasing up a refund is difficult with no staff around and nobody returning my calls.

  • Devlin da Silva

AVOID AVOID AVOID Paid for deluxe auto car wash, and afterwards discovered tons of dirt and streaks all over car. Auto wash machine did not clean the car at all, in fact it

  • Michael Lennie

Machine just kept eating my coins, nobody's there, tried phoning no reply. Ended up using the efpos cause my car was covered in soap, $2 apparently mean $2:20 not happy !!

  • Carmen Paech

I used the first bay on entry today and half of the wash options didn't work. No high pressure soap, no wax, and then the high pressure water stopped working altogether.

  • Sheridyn Donaghy

Usually not bad but often the coin machine is out of order. Now I know why. Today it ate a bunch of my coins!!! Scam! I recommend avoiding the coin machine if you can.

  • David Pollock

The worst car wash in Melbourne. Often out of soap. Credit card machines charge without giving service to washing instruments. Don’t waste your time and money here.

  • Courtney

Came today and this was what it looked like. Rubbish everywhere and broken hoses. It smelt as if the rubbish had been here for a couple of days like this.

  • Natalia Correa

today they charged me 25 aud and any thing was working!! nobody was there to help and the phone never answered!!! really bad service

  • Phillip Le

Warning: automatic car wash only accepts notes and gold coins. If you use a silver coin, it'll happily take it and not return it.

  • Isabella Marzin

Worst car wash ever. Don’t waste your time or money coming here. Foam brushes don’t even work. Will never be coming back again.

  • Eric Fenessy

Don't waste your money. The auto wash on the highest tier wash essentially just gets your car wet. No dirt actually comes off

  • Luke Altimari

Awful wash and even worse service. Tried to go through the autowash and the machine took my payment but wouldn't

  • Ian Mynard

since moving to Melbourne (back) about a year ago, this the best car wash I have found... and it is pretty good..

  • Al Ameen Hatta

cheaper than most self car wash. easy to operate. could improve with the general cleanliness.

  • Lexie Palms

Lots of bays to vacuum and wash and dry. Change machine worked well.

  • Andy lloyd

Sitting waiting with 4 bays closed and a bloke washing his bicycle!

  • Jason Platty

Been using this car wash for 10 years. They are so convenient.
