David’s II Car Wash and Detail Center

I always get an amazing hand car wash at David’s! Leo always makes sure I am taken care of. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get my car washed!!!

No… That’s the worst car wash…
I bought the deal at the groupon and came there 2 days ago. I bought the ultimate wash (the most expensive) since I wanted my car to be washed very good. They use my groupon and I payed $ 40 extra. Plus $ 5 tip to wash the car and $ 10 to the guy that clean and wiped my car! Total around $ 80
And what do you think… It still was dirty… Inside and outside… (see the pic below)
Give your self a favor and do not go there

TERRIBLE. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY OUT THIS PLACE!
I went to wash a car that I had just bought a week ago. When I arrived, I was told to get out of my car and have a seat in the front (where you make the payment). 10 minutes later, they were done with the wash and told me I was all set. I inspected the car and see a lot of white marks and dirt left on the car even after the wash. Later I notice a big scratch in the front which was NOT there before the wash. As I point that out, they deny it and tell me there’s no way it was them. Needless to say, I left because I had no ways to prove that the scratch happened there but it certainly did because it was not there before I arrived and also, it’s a new car. So please save your self the time and money and go else where!

Recently purchased a 2013 Mercedes Benz E350 black on black. Took it to David’s car wash to get a hand wash and wax. They did a terrific job buffing the car and taking all the spots out. They even fixed a scratched wheel with out me mentioning it. Great job guys!

1) if you can’t get simple dirt off a 2015 car, I pity what happens to an older one
2) if you leave it in the sun to dry before you wipe it down, it’s your fault it’s still dirty
3) calling the car owner cheap because you wouldn’t know customer service and logic if it rear ended you isn’t the way to do business
4) pics to follow

My last visit will be my last visit. I watched one guy clean my interior windows with the same rag he used to dry the exterior of another car and my car. I could see the scum on the interior of my windows when I drove away. They were way dirtier than when I arrived at the car wash. I spent 30 minutes trying to get the greasy film off with only minor improvement and now I’m online trying to figure out what product to buy to make this easier. No more David’s for me.

Beware people to keep your valuable items safe with you when you drop off your car there! This morning i played $ 20 VA scratch lottery ticket, and unfortunately i didn’t win any price. Then i left this ticket in my car with other items under dash board where you put your small things, like id, name tag, etc kind of small compartment. After i got the cleaning services, i checked that ticket and it is gone. So i went to straight to the front (where you drop off your car to get your car vacuumed) and talked to one of the guys (he is a black guy with african accent) who does the vaccum. I asked i lost my $ 20 scratch ticket and he said i think i saw it in the trash. Then, he looked for it and got it in side the trash. he even said to me that i did drop it inside my car floor purposely because i knew the ticket didn’t win any price. I was stunned because i know i put the ticket under that small compartment together with papers. This happened earlier to day and there was two guys at the front services, one short black guy and the other guy white. I knew the one who did this is the black guy with african accent. I have been coming this place for the last 5 years and this is my first time encountered such an incident. I know most the guys work there are very friendly and hard working people. But this particular individual is rude guy with bad attitude and i believe he is damaging the other good people reputation in my opinion. He even was laughing at some point when i looked at him from inside my car before i left. This is untrustworthy person. I warn you that keep your valuable with you, period !

Been here multiple times and today was my last. $ 30 for incomplete service, no tire shine, and my car barely looks any more clean than when I took it into the shop.

Ok so here’s the thing — I’m sure they have repeat customers, I just won’t be one of them.
It seems they attract a lot of Über/​UberX drivers, and they put those first.
I called ahead of time to ensure they had time, arrived early and I still saw people come after me and leave before.
I initially just wanted a vacuum and hand wash. 20 minutes later they tell me they recommend a ‘mini detail.’ It was a «gift» for my husband, so I said yes for the extra $ 50.
THREE HOURS LATER
are you serious! I was very patient for the first two hours, and when I counted countless cars coming through that weren’t mine, I finally asked for an estimated time. I was told 20 minutes. ONE HOURS LATER
i FINALLY get my car back, open the driver’s side door and what greats me? A sticky spot on the gear shift and a LONG dog hair! THREE HOURS and you can’t get that? hm.
so I drive away, stop at cvs for some wipes to finish the job myself and find out there are spots left all over the interior of the car!
I returned the car to my husband and it turns out they «forgot» to put the weather tech floor mats in. So now i have to go BACK and pick them up!
It’s a convenient location, but that’s where the niceties end. Skip this place; either do it yourself or look elsewhere. #disappointed

I took hubby’s SUV today as it was Father’s Day and I wanted him to have a clean car. I opted for the Deluxe $ 28.00 wash. The place wasn’t extremely busy and I was able to get in and out within 15 minutes which now I know wasn’t a good thing. They vacuumed the car well however missed several big spots on the car when they were drying it. For almost 30 bucks I expect a better service than that. They even left the marker on the window which means they neglected to clean the windows!!! Never going back, I could have done a much better job for the price

Beware: You get what you pay for.
I happened to be in the Arlington area, and my car needed to be cleaned badly. I looked on Unilocal and found David’s. I saw that the reviews were less than stellar, but I didn’t let that deter me. I’ve had good experiences at places that weren’t given the greatest reviews. So I decided to give it a shot.
When I got there, it was 5:45 pm on a Saturday, and they closed at 6 pm. I knew that I was kind of pushing my luck, but I thought that the regular car wash at 16 dollars, was rather basic and could be done in the allotted time. Before I stepped out of my vehicle, I emphasized that I wanted my car to be vacuumed thoroughly.
About 10 minutes later, my car is being dried by about 5 different guys. I was glad that there was a post box for tips because I wouldn’t have been sure who exactly to tip. One thing that I do have to mention is that even all those people were cleaning the car, they missed some key spots. One on my front hood, another on my driver’s side door. And to top it off, the driver’s side was not vacuumed thoroughly.
The car wash is pretty basic, so if you’re looking for the works, or to avoid streaks/​spots going unnoticed, go elsewhere.

I think when I did my previous review it must have been a particularly bad day. They seemed to have their game together when I went over there today, I don’t know what made me give it another shot. My truck left looking really good. They actually spent some time with my truck.

Long lines and poor quality wash and dry. Somehow the windows actually came out worse than they were before the wash. Way over priced for what you get. Go elsewhere.

Was in line for 45 minutes and was told they had closed for the day. I’ll never be back! They should of services everyone in line and then closed. Horrible service.

I used the automated car wash a number of times. It’s just ok, not great. I found it expensive for what it offers. More than once my car came out with dirty spots. Also, the products they rub on the internal panels is greasy and left stains. I would recommend looking elsewhere.

In reading the reviews here, people need to understand something about the world today. Money talks. Tipping makes the world of difference! If you want your car vacuumed really well, tip the vacuum guys (at the entrance, not at the end) a couple bucks, and you will see a spotless interior. They will remember you, so tip well and you will be treated well. I love this place, the prices are reasonable, the location is convenient, and the service is great (they always remember us at the cashier). They keep the line moving so you’re not waiting for hours (even when it’s a busy Saturday morning). You can watch the cross fit trainers or the dogs in doggy day care next door, as you wait. In my opinion, the people watching is worth it. This is a good place to go for your monthly washes, just don’t expect a detail job unless you pay for it.

Don’t Do It!
I don’t know what I was thinking. I typically hand wash my car because a lot of these car wash’s use dirty clothes and the brushes in the auto wash have degree on them that all put swirls in your paint… I know this, you should know this too if you’re not into detailing. My car was extremely dirty and I just wanted to get all the major crap off of it so I said screw it and drove into this place. The first thing I noticed were the «We’re Not Responsible» signs regarding wipers, low cars, etc… Fine, so I was going to have them just hand wash it. So I ask the 2 guys at the entrance to the auto wash, «hey is my car going to be a problem to go into the wash or should I have it hand washed?» They both look at it and say it will be fine and they just wanted me to drive it up to the ramp to make sure it was fine… needless to say it hooked up to the auto wash with out any scraping or anything.
So I’m sitting in the lobby waiting for my car to come through and I hear what sounds like a damn lawn mover coming through… needless to say, that lawnmower sound was coming from my car. Upon the guy driving it out so they could dry it, the car wash literally tore the car’s undercarriage to pieces (2012 Golf R). First off, some 20yr old kid who said he’s the manager is saying blah blah, the car wash didn’t do that… I’m like you serious!?! Listen to it! I look underneath and here’s the damage that was done:
Dent in oil pan
tore my aftermarket exhaust literally off 3 different sections
Scrapes all along the sub frame
Scratches along the outside of the pass front wheel
Ripped out O2 Sensor from flex pipe
So after arguing with this kid, they clearly don’t care and pretty much told me to go fly a kite. I should’ve known better. Had to drive the car (which kept stalling out) to Curry’s and beg them to please look at my car. They put it on the lift and it looked like a complete horror show underneath. After $ 40 cash and a 12 pack of Heineken these kids put my car back together. I then drove my car back to this dump of a car wash and basically told them that they’re giving me my money back. I got about 2 minutes of set back comments and said I’m not moving anywhere until I get my 20 back. They gave in and refunded me.
All this aside, the inside was still dirty and the outside hand armor all smears all over the drivers side door from the dirty rags and unclean spots towards the bottom of the bumpers. Final thoughts, never take your car here… there are way better spots for less. This place is a hack job with hack employees. Is it my fault, probably but when you have irresponsible staff telling customers «your car will be fine, bring it through» when I ask beforehand if it’s safer to just have it hand washed instead… this is what happens.
Don’t do it. Go somewhere else. Wish I had pics to show you what this place did to my car. Brutal.

My friend recommended taking my car to get washed at David’s. David’s washes car either the regular way going through the car wash conveyor belt or washes your car by hand for a reasonable price. I usually go to one of two car washes in DC and David’s prices were definitely much cheaper.
I paid $ 23 for the ultimate super duper wash. Staff vacuumed my car, sent it on it’s way through the car washed, and dried it inside and out. They did an okay job but left a few streaks I had to rub out myself and I was told to drive around the building to «retrieve» my floor mats and put them in myself. Yea, I paid to have my car washed and do the rest myself. So get in your «clean» car with you pray you didn’t step in something nasty/​dirty shoes and install your «clean» mats yourself while the staffguys stare at you. I should have charged!

I’ve taken our cars here a few times now — we get the deluxe wash, which is fairly basic despite the fancy name. For $ 17, it’s fine — our car is usually pretty clean with minimal streaking or spotting afterwards. Although others have mentioned the poor vacuum job, we’ve never had issues — they’ve always been pretty thorough.
The line is always long and can take awhile, especially on sunny days after long periods of snow gunk. You also have to walk or drive back around to the front of the car wash after they’re done with your car to pick up any floor mats you have.
Overall, David’s is Convenient and decently priced. They also have hand washes available for those who are worried about putting their cars through the machine.

The people working here are not very friendly. I bought the Groupon, which is four basic car washes (normally $ 13). If you’re going through the automatic car wash, you have to drive to the left side of the Detail Center. They vacuum your car first and then run it through the wash. There were only two cars ahead of me, but I still had to wait a while.
When my car came out of the wash, there was actually dirt on it that wasn’t there before… I asked them to wipe it and one of the guys gave me attitude. Other than that one spot that I asked them to wipe down, they didn’t do a very good job.
Since the hours aren’t posted anywhere else, they’re open Mon-​Sat 8 am — 6 pm, Sun 9 am — 4 pm.
