The Metuchen Car Wash

The guys that run this place are pretty friendly and I stop by when I need a quick exterior wash. Don’t expect to come here and leave with your car completely clean and dry otherwise you’ll be disappointed. I just stick to the basic «wash and dry» for $ 6 bucks because I don’t think it’s really worth paying more than that for this place. They have vacuums on premises if you decide to do your own interior.

I paid $ 10 to learn a good lesson: DON’T EVER BRING MY CAR BACK HERE!
Figure I would give this car wash a try. Went in looking to wash the salt and dirt from the undercarriage after this brutal winter. Specifically asked that they did this. Of course they said yes and gave me the «manager special» for $ 10. Sat in the car through the entire wash. The curtains and brushes they use in there were strong and rough. I felt like my windows were going to explode. My car made it out, but after doing a walkthrough, sadly my car emblem did not. Apparently whatever they have in there was so strong it detached my car emblem. I’ve been to many car washes and this has never happened before. When I mention it to the staff drying my car (a teenage kid and an old guy), they could care less. In fact they walk away and just ignored my complaints. They barely wiped the car down, it still had water and soap everywhere.
And that undercarriage I went there to wash? Dry to the bone! All the salt and dirt was clearly still there. So that «undercarriage» wash they sold me on was clearly a lie. I had to drive back to ask for the manager, and so he put my car through again. So I needed to come back and complain to get the bottom of the car washed like I first asked? Seriously? And that emblem. He said I could come back to get it glued back on, but not right now. No thanks, I won’t be back, I’ll never come back.
So if you have a new shiny car you care about, you probably won’t want to bring it here. I’ve been to many other car washes. Whatever brushes and equipment they use in there is rough stuff. And they don’t wash the bottom of your car. Unless you go back and complain.

Good, average priced, good car wash. I’m from out of town and my vehicle got pretty dirty traveling around here. Worth the 6 bucks

Not worth $ 20. Had to wipe down both the inside and outside of the car afterward. Won’t return.

Pretty straight forward with offerings that make sense price-​wise. When I went I did not get the expected 30 Mexican workers toiling on the drying process, but just one guy that did just as good of a job.

I went there to get a quick car wash. One of the good things is that when you put the service on your card, through a tablet, you put your phone number in and they text you your receipt.
What was not so great was while they were trying to service as many folks as possible, they were not friendly and were in a complete rush. They could not get you out fast enough and it seemed like they were trying to avoid me like the plague. Yet, it was $ 10. You get what you pay for.
