Alpaul Automobile Wash

Dropped a star after giving yet another shot. The car just gets wiped down by dirty rags.

We got the regular car wash, and they vacuumed out and wiped down the inside. They got it cleaner than many rental cars I’ve had. The regular wash service is not a full detail job, but it’s certainly a great cleanup at a great price!

For $ 12.75 I had a external car wash and vacuumed the inside of my car. It came out of the tunnel with six men outside and inside of my car cleaning every possible corner. I have a yellow lab who had her fur in every possible nook and cranny of my car. Certainly the best bang for the buck. Not entirely perfect but certainly better than I could do. Especially since I was in and out in under 4 minutes! The men were absolute gentleman too. I’ll definitely be back. (They also have a six wash punchcard that makes each wash only $ 10.)

How sad is east side of Cleveland? Even car wash places are a ripoff. The guys at the entrance said if I tip them directly, then they’ll do a great job vacuuming and wiping down all the leather seats, door panels, and dashboard. Well, I forked over a 10 cuz my two preschool kids like to spill drinks. The exterior was washed well, but nothing inside was cleaned up. Sure the floor mats were cleaned up, but not for $ 10 extra bucks!

Terrible car wash. Got the car back and it was still filthy, and was hit up for tips by their sketchy workers when I went for my keys. Never going back, total garbage.

Brought my new car for a wash and left with many visible scratches, some of these scratches are over an inch in length and clearly visible. I also noticed that they are over priced and the end result is not as good as a hand wash (which is cheaper in many Cleveland locations). Not going there again.

EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! Got my car beautifully clean inside AND outside in minutes! Will definitely come back and recommend.

Lame. I just paid $ 21.50 plus tip for a «works» interior/​exterior but I received a basic exterior wash and a spritz of air freshener.
Shame on the Al Paul management for not having anyone look over the work that the crew is NOT doing. If anyone even attempted an interior vacuum, they were clearly using a vacuum cleaner that is broken. I was having this done as a surprise for my boyfriend’s Valentine’s Day gift. and now I have to go over everything myself because it looks exactly the same as the last time he saw it.

The was a complete waste. I ordered the generic wash and added in the trunk vacuum (the back of my car) to make sure they got all the dust and dog hair. They rushed my through and since they do the wipe right at the front of the wash with no pull off area, there is no place to look at your car before you leave. I got home to find the back seat and rear area had not been touched. In fact the extra grocery bags I keep back there were not even moved.
I could have spent $ 5 at a gas station drive through wash and gotten the same job done I spent $ 16 on.
PS they have a tip box at the front where the sign says they share tips. So since the outside looked OK, I assumed the inside was OK and I threw in $ 3. Total of $ 19 down the drain.

I have lived in the area but had not gone to Alpaul because I wasn’t sure of the costs. For my minivan, I paid $ 17 (they charge $ 2 more for a van). They clean the interior as well as the exterior. I will say they did a fine job of cleaning the van as it was filthy in a timely manner. However, as noted from the other customers, my change was taken. I purposely left 62 cents in the cup holder and took a photo of it. When I got back in the van, I noticed that my change was missing so I asked about it. The owner came over and quickly questioned the guys. He took 62 cents out of their tip box and returned it to me. Take notice of what is in your car before you get out of it.

Al Paul is far and away the best car wash in Northeast Ohio.
The line’s never that long, and as soon as you pull up, the employees waste no time starting on your car.
They do an incredibly thorough job and will gladly try to fix any spots that need extra attention (for example, there was a scuff mark on the interior portion of our passenger door, and they completely got rid of it).
The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to other car washes in the area. We usually opt for «The Works» package ($ 21). It’s really quite a deal, and you’ll be amazed with how your car looks when it’s all finished.
Overall, treat your car right and take it to Al Paul — and don’t forget to throw a few bucks in the tip box. The guys working here definitely earn it.

This has to be the best car wash in the state of Ohio. They do an amazing job at cleaning even the dirtiest cars on the inside. The honesty of the guys cleaning is amazing too. I had lost a pair of $ 200 sunglasses and they had found them when cleaning my car and returned them to me. They could have easily pocketed them but they did the honest thing. I will be continuing to drive 45 mins to come back here as I have been for the past three years.
Edit ⁸⁄₂₀₁₅ — I previously had this as 5 stars, but after the last two trips, I have had sub par service. Car was still dirty, windows were washed on the inside with a greasy cloth and I had to redo them myself. Sunroof glass was not even touched, cup holders still had some dirt in them. This is not the service that I have come to expect. I hope they fix this as I will stop coming here after 10+ years if they don’t.

I have always seen this car wash, but today was the first time I went. In a nutshell, let them know up front if you have an auto-​lock doors, secure your valuables, and be prepared to be swarmed when you get there. I’d go back again.
There were a LOT of guys working here. When I first pulled up, 3 guys swarmed my car and immediately started working without asking me what I wanted. I had to look confused at one of the guys for him to say anything to me. They rushed me off so quick! I noticed my car alarm was going off inside the wash, and immediately knew they had locked my keys in the car. I have an aftermarket auto-​lock security system on my car and they rushed me off so quick I couldn’t tell them. I also didn’t think they would send my car through the wash without anyone inside.
The woman at the counter was very friendly and told me that Wednesdays are Ladies Day, $ 1 off your car wash. There are things for you to buy inside too.
Luckily they had something to open the door with in a couple minutes (I’m guessing they do this a lot). I’ll say they were done with the whole wash in 5 minutes. I got the special for $ 14.95 and the inside of my car looked brand spanking new, and they even found EVERYTHING I lost under the seats. My car mats looked brand new too. Tires were glossy.
Unfortunately, the outside job was spotty. My windshield still looked bad and when I told one of the guys to hit this spot for me on the hood, he just rubbed it with his fingernail, which of course didn’t do anything, and kept walking. They also took all the change that was on the floor, whatever. and I still had to go over the windows when I got home. But because it was cheap, fast, and the inside was done so well, I’d recommend them.

Only full service option in the immediate area. They do a nice job. $$ The works for $ 21

Best car wash you can get without doing it yourself. The only downside is the difficult to get to entrance.

Of all of the full service car washes in greater Cleveland, this one still has the best service I have seen. I really like their attention to detail in cleaning. Good value and friendly service

good enough place. just make sure to count your change in the ashtray before AND after you go!

Al Paul has been at this location on Warrensville Ctr Rd since I was a kid. How many businesses can you say that about these days?
Besides being a fan small businesses, it seems like the owner employs «down on their luck» people who clearly need a job. I mean, that’s a good thing, right? Anyway, they hustle to wipe down every inch of your car in and out. Car looks perfect when you leave, you’ve spent about 15 bucks, and you’ve given work to people who need it.
There are clearly-​marked warnings throughout the place not to leave valuables out. I doubt they’re gonna grab your laptop or your GPS (never took mine) but I’m guessing a cup full of spare change is up for grabs. Secure your valuables before going through, that’s all you need to do.
Oh, and they have convenient hours too. I think they are open every day of the week including Sunday.

This was a great car wash! For $ 14.99, I got an interior, exterior and under-​carriage wash, with wax protective coating! Yes, it’s a little sketchy … and I wouldn’t leave anything important laying around in the car when you pull in, but for the price — it’s fantastic!
Check it out — my car smells and looks brand new!

This is hands down the WORST car wash I have ever been to. The entire staff, including the owner, simply don’t care about the quality of their work. I would highly recommend finding another place to take your car.
