Bellaire Car Wash & Auto Salon

They sold me the package deal with a car wax, but my car doesn’t look waxed at all. And when I talked to the receptionist about it, she just stared at me without an answer. Wished they could’ve wipe down the car better. The windows have a lot streaks left behind.
Missed some spots with the vacuum but they quickly fixed it.

This car wash is terrific — attentive service, quick detailed washes, and all the amenities you could want (a barber and taqueria inside a car wash!?).
It’s a bit too Jesusy for my taste inside, but I can just as well ignore it while my car is getting washed so carefully.

Very friendly staff. Fast service. They also have tacos, hair cut and massage chair. Only one star short for having a little too much religion for my taste.

I’ve been going to this place regularly for a few years now. It’s never a terrible experience but it is never a great experience, either. They don’t ever seem to be able to listen to what I’m asking for and deliver.
Today, for example, I arrive and am greeted quickly. I tell the kid that I want my truck washed, hand waxed, and the inside cleaned; and, I don’t want any shiny ArmorAll or «tire shine» product used and please don’t touch the leather because King Ranch leather has a special cleaning and conditioning routine. The kid scribbled almost nothing down along with $ 40 on a piece of paper and sent me inside. Inside I asked them to explain what I was about to purchase and repeated what I had asked for outside. As I expected, what was notated was nothing and not what I’d asked for.
After going over a few things, I was satisfied that they understood what I wanted. I paid my bill and went outside to wait. The truck went through the automatic washer and was pulled to the shaded area to be detailed. They spent a bunch of time cleaning it up, but never waxed it. The guy signals that it is ready.
I asked him if it had been waxed. He asked for my receipt. Of course, as usual, it just has some very nondescript items on it, «Detail, detail, super clean» or something like that. He tells me I had not paid for a wax. I told him that all I could do was tell him what I had asked for twice. In the end, I didn’t get it waxed.
I got in, and the first thing I notice is that the leather has been conditioned. I had been very clear about not touching it. It’s now slippery and has had some non-​approved product on it. I have no idea what the long term effect is, but I am not happy, as once again I asked twice for the leather not to be touched.

They always do such a great job and everyone is super friendly and nice. They also work very hard and prompt and you don’t see a lot of employees just sitting around like you do at other car washes. I have tried about a dozen different places because I keep my car very clean and this is my only car wash now.

It’s a cool little place with a small restaurant and a hair salon attached. I brought my car here for a basic carpet cleaning. It was finished after an hour or so, but nobody came to tell me. I kept asking if it was done, because my car was just sitting there, but was told no someone would come find me if it was finished. Two hours later, I got fed up and complained, and finally someone listened to me and gave me my car keys. It took me FOUR hours when I could leave after an hour or two. The crew really need to communicate better with each other and with customers.

I love coming here to get me car washed. They also have an eatery and a hair salon at this place. So you can eat, get a haircut and have your car washed in one spot. They clean your car well for the most part. The guy who vacuumed did not do a very good job, I guess I can’t complain, no one will really ever do a good enough job or exceed your expectations unless you pay for a complete detail or you do it yourself. The guy who cleaned my interior, windows and wheels did a good job. Service is always friendly!

Its a car wash and so much more…
For me, its a car-​wash that does a damn good job at a super reasonable price. Its close to my office and they are quick and efficient.
For you daring types, there is a café for a quick bite, a prayer wall for a quick prayer request, a shoe shine stand and a hair salon of some sort. Although I have never tried any of these «extras» every time I have visited this place, people are taking advantage of these amenities.

This ain’t a bad place to get your car washed, waxed and all that pampering your auto so desperately deserves. After calling around town — there are a lot of car washes in River Oaks, Upper Kirby, Montrose and Midtown — this was almost $ 40 cheaper than the other places … and didn’t request a 9am drop-​off and three hour session.
I got my car washed, waxed, tire shine, interior cleaning — basically everything minus a carpet shampoo — for around $ 60 (not including the tip).
There’s a Mexican food stand inside, along with a shoe shine station, kickin’ A/​C and outdoor patio.
Additionally, you can bring your car back within three days and get another basic car wash for free! I only took off one star because they missed a lot of obvious spots with the vacuum (my dog Texie rolls with me errwhere, and that homie sheds a lot).

Came here for a very thorough car wash badly needed inside and out. The attendant recommended I get a package that cost $ 45. Whatever. I don’t take my car to get professionally cleaned very often, so I thought, what they hey, I’ll go for it.
Car looked great when it was all said and done.
I may mention that was 50 minutes later. Not surprising though since it was a beautiful Friday after Christmas… during lunch hour… when everyone and their cousin had off work. The place was busy to say the least. Keep that in mind when you go. This place fills up quick.
I also want to mention the little Phở spot right across the street. Great food.

Highly recommended for those who are not ‘automobile’ saavy.
They will not inflate prices/​rip you off, simply because you are female.
A piece of glass was lodged in the «shoulder’ of my tire. When I brought this to MyMechanic on Holcome and Goodyear Tire on Kirby, I was told that I would need to replace the entire tire. At Bellaire, they took 30 – 40 minutes and patched the tire. I expected a service charge, but was told this was free, since no new parts/​materials was used.
I was recommend by my boss to go there, and I am thankful that I have a autoshop/​mechanic in the city that I can trust.
If you are NEW to Houston, this is the best place to go, and if they cannot fix it they will refer you to another that is good.

Excellent! Café, shoeshine, car wash. They do a great job.

Now I know this sounds like a car wash, but this is no ordinary car wash. You can get much more here than a shiny coat.
After informing the people outside what kind of treatment for your auto you would like, you enter through the Polynesian garden rear of the joint. As you enter you smell something cooking and lo and behold you find there is a tiny café there where you can have a soda and a sandwich. Continue down the hall you start seeing funny little Jesus signs. Jesus Saves! Go with God! Pray! There are bibles, candles, pray books, etc. Let’s continue on down the hall to the HAIR SALON. Yup, they will give you a trim here too. While your getting your hair cut you can yell across the room to the massage therapist to put you down for 15 minutes. The Bellaire Car Wash offers much, much more than a clean car. You can get something in your tummy, find religion, get a little trim, gets the kinks out of your neck, and oh, don’t forget to buy that pair of sunglasses in the little shopping area.
This place is so eclectic and wonderful. I will return.
