Mikael’s Auto Spa

I have to give these guys five stars. I have been washing my cars here for a few months, and I must say they are pretty consistent. Cars come out nearly perfect. They don’t miss. That includes delivering a spotless finish product in the interior and exterior. I used to stop all over town to wash my car at many different car washes and I’ve always encountered some kind of issue that needed me to attend to before driving off. Not here. In 6 – 7 washes so far I did not have to make one small complaint ever. I was basically speechless, therefore I highly recommend this car wash.
Thank you!

OK… so I need to vent.
I’m a car guy like most of us and do what I can to keep them in pristine condition. So when I am in Atlanta I usually go to Mikael’s Auto Spa.
I have had good results with them in the past. So I get there yesterday around noon. I verify that they still use microfiber to dry off vehicle and request no brushes be used on the front. All is well… until I see the guy drying the car off with a bath towel… ugggh!
I approach the guy drying it off and ask him why isn’t he using microfiber cloth, he says that this works fine and does a good job. At this time I guess the manager/​owner walks up and ask what’s wrong. I inform him that they are using a hard old bath towel to dry my vehicle.
Then he goes on strongly telling me that this towel will not stratch paint and he has been doing this years, etc etc. I pull a microfiber out of my trunk and show him the difference. He says yeah we use them to wipe off wax and then points to a large bucket full microfiber right beside the car… Dude! Just use them then!
He walks off with a slight attitude. My thing is if you tell the customer one thing just follow thru with it and instead of arguing with me about the towels just have your guy stop what he is doing and use a microfiber cloth.
Ok, thanks for letting me vent.

Car came out looking dirtier than when I brought it in! They cut corners and rush through with poor results! WASTE OF MONEY!

I can’t stress enough to avoid this place!!! The guy who run this is a condescending little scumbag that is only interested in charging you as much for an inferior product. I got my car cleaned a couple of times and it almost looked exactly the same when it was done as it did going in. When I brought it to the owners attention, he was very dismissive. It was like he got so many complaints that the only way he could deal with them was to ignore any new ones. Please, please stay away!!! He also owns the do it yourself place down the road so I would avoid that as well.

Great job done here. Brought in a literally filthy car and they made it look new. These guys work hard so tip them well.

After watching a friends dog, I needed the back of my suv vacuumed, so I paid the extra to have it done. When I got down the road I noticed it wasn’t vacuumed so I went back and the guy started vacuuming it when another guy came over and said leave it with a bunch of vulgarities and was laughing and completely rude. The front desk person told me i’d have to have it shampooed to be removed. That’s fine I didn’t know. I won’t be back though because of the rude behavior of the workers. I tipped them well and they’re certainly not appreciative of tips.

I’ve just been increasingly unhappy each visit and it’s to the point I can no longer justify spending the money here.
I’m very particular and clean in my car, so I get rather irritated when I get in it and it just doesn’t look like the surface has been wiped. My mats were slung back in and not even straight. I expect a good car wash, better than what I would do, when I spend money at a wash like this. I could have done a better job myself at a self service place for a third of the money.

I have gone here often, but this past weekend I had my first negative experience. They were really busy, so I left my truck with them for about 1.5 hours and just went over to the Longhorn steakhouse for a bite to eat. When I come back, and my vehicle is ready, I throw the tip $ into the jar and start to drive away (vehicle looked great). It was about 1 minute after the traffic intersection I realize my windshield has a crack in it (it’s a new truck — wasn’t there earlier when I dropped it off). I spoke with the manager on duty, he asked me to bring it back to see. I did, and he even pulled everyone off the line to take a look. Though no one saw anything, he gave me the owner’s name/​number and asked me to call back Monday. I did, and Mikael asked me to bring it in so he could look at it. After doing so, he recognized it was not damage from a rock or road damage, and offered to make it right. New windshield being installed tomorrow. I hope this doesn’t encourage someone to troll these guys and try to get something for nothing. This was a legitimate case of my vehicle being damaged while in their possession, and the owner is stepping up to make it right. I am extremely impressed at the professionalism and the manner in which this was handled. Suffice it to say, they have earned a lifetime customer.

Extremely responsive customer service!!!
I had some concerns with a recent detailing job of my father’s car. The interior needed much more attention than what I paid for ($ 100). I contacted the email on the website and Mikael, the proprietor, reached me directly, addressed each point and personally handled my issue with efficiency and professionalism.
They’re re-​vacuuming the car at this moment.

One of the worst car washes I’ve been to in Atlanta in a long time. They do such a crappy job of cleaning the inside and outside of your vehicle. I think they’re just plain lazy. My floormat’s were twisted up in my backseat and not even laid properly when I returned to my vehicle. Don’t waste your money or your time going to this place.

I took my 2014 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Turbo to Mikael’s for the first time and they did a spectacular job. The car’s deep red paint job looks great with a very high gloss. I got the Express Detail with an orbital buff. Very Nice. I’ll go there again.

I will forever go to Mikael’s! Very focused on attention to detail. I don’t own a new car, however when I leave, my car smells and looks brand-​new! I also have a toddler, so there’s lots of dirt and food particles that get slung everywhere. They don’t miss a thing. And those little coins that gets lost under the seat, they will be in your car seat waiting for you! Very honest employees!

I would not recommend a car wash here. They did a hand wash for $ 25 on my Saab this morning and did a horrible job in the interior. I wish I had seen the vehicle before I tipped them five dollars inside. When I complained the guy looked at me like I was crazy. The area where you step up into the car wasn’t wiped down, my console is still dirty. Apparently for $ 25 all you get is a slight vacuum of the vehicle and an exterior wash. This was the first time I tried this car wash. The old cactus car wash in Buckhead charges the same amount and does a fabulous job… which is where I will be returning!
I would strongly suggest the owner tell his employees that when there is a complaint that they notify him or the manager versus letting people walk away.

Completely dissatisfied. I paid $ 40 for full service for my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. When I got it back it was still full of dog hair, the dashboard and console were still filthy (dusty from having the top down off-​roading) and the wheel wells still were covered in mud. The guy told me that the wheel wells were stained and that it wouldn’t come off (as he barely scrubbed the dirt). I said, forget it. This Jeep is less than 2 months old. I doubt it’s stained. When I got home I got a cleaning brush and some Fantastik and cleaned the mud off in 5 minutes. What a waste of $ 40. Next time I’ll do it myself.

This place is so sketch. The owner looked at my car and then informed me for that for the car to be «ok clean» it would be $ 25, but «super clean» for $ 70. Then he told me they don’t really wipe down inside doors for $ 25. He kept saying, «but for $ 75 we shampoo your seats». I kept telling him I didn’t want the seats shampooed. My car is 6 months old, the seats aren’t dirty, they just have some dog hair which can come out with a good vacuum. Finally he said «ok I don’t have to shampoo, but it will still be $ 75 to get the car super clean». What the fuck! What happen to the old days when a quick run through the wash and a solid 15 minutes were spent vacuuming and cleaning the inside (including wiping down doors) costs $ 30? Apparently this place doesn’t cotton to that idea. Why the hell would I spend $ 25 for you to do a shittier job than me on cleaning the car and then not spend 1 fucking minute wiping down the plastic interior? Bogus bullshit.

Drive all the way otp just to get great treatment on my black car here. Great hand wash and wax service for $ 30. Always great attention to detail and never any swirls. Been here a few months now and super happy with the service.

I went here on a whim because my car desperately needed to be washed. This is not my regular car wash spot. The line was long but the guys were moving the cars along pretty quickly. The waiting area wasn’t as snazzy as my regular spot but both areas were nice. The cleaning on the inside of the car wasn’t very thorough. I saw areas they were missed. But it was a good job as my expectations weren’t high.

With Mikael, the owner and the nicest guy on Earth! If you ever need your car detailed, this is THE place to go: affordable, personable, and the result is IMPRESSIVE! They can accommodate your schedule, too. Highly recommend!

A great place to get your car washed if you just want a car wash or the fully detailed. The one thing I noticed is that they have shut down their automatic car wash, with now everything being done by hand. They also seem to have removed the car vacuums you could use on your own.
Normally i would say a car wash only by hand is a positive, however keep in mind that this requires more time. On my last visit it took 45 minutes to get my car washed and vacuumed in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. One customer ended up leaving because he needed to get to an appointment and didn’t realize it was going to require such a time commitment.
When I did receive my car it was spotless and perfectly clean on the inside. They definitely take the time to get it right. I’ll admit it had been a while since I had my car washed and it was pretty filthy, especially after all the pollen. I was impressed with their ability to get the grime off and how clean they were able to make the tires. There is nothing like having a clean car inside and out.
Hopefully the closure of the automatic car wash area is temporary. It’s a nice feature when in a hurry, especially when you combine it with the final touches they used to offer by hand. I’ll be keeping an eye out to see if they make any updates to their process and update my review if I see any changes.

My husband was going to be entertaining important people for his job, and he’s known as the «green» guy in the office, so we needed to clean the Prius. It was already almost 6pm, and now that we’re off daylight savings, it was feeling pretty late. So we drove up Roswell Road looking for places. The first place that said car wash had already closed. So we ended up at Mikael’s. You pay at the window and then drive around. We pulled up to the window and were offered washes for $ 7, $ 10, or $ 14. We opted for the $ 10 wash, which included the tires done by hand. The guy at the window was all business. But the guys actually helping you through the auto wash, wiping down your car, doing the tires, etc, were friendly. We didn’t get the interiors done since the little one was in the back, and he’s not a fan of vacuums.
We’ll be back. It’s close, there are tons of options, and it’s open later than most places.
