This is by far the best car wash I’ve been to. Not to mention that I come all the way from Long Island just to have them take care of my car. The best times to come is early mornings because it gets really busy later in the day. Don’t expect to be in an out. They take their time and wash as if the car was theirs. Ask for Stefanno or Luis. They will take care of you.

Was very concerned about having my new black Porsche 718 washed and waxed as the color is very difficult to detail and have swirls avoided. I should not have worried. The team here treat the car superbly, and after an initial wax and multiple washes I would not go anywhere else. The car always looks fantastic after they have done their magic with it and will not let it out until it is perfect. I could not recommend Formula higher and will continue to return.

These guys sure know how to detail cars. Every inch of the interior and exterior is polished and the car ends up looking brand new. Whatever stuff they use stay shiny and fresh smelling for weeks. I will not let anyone else touch my car.

It's been 3 months now since I got an engine bay wash at formula. I have a '14 dodge Durango so it's fairly new. Due to construction work near where I live, it forced some rats to live in my engine bay overnight. I called Friday noon and was told there's a wait time of 30min-1:30min. So I drove in Saturday morning instead. First thing I noticed was that every car already in there was being hand wash from carpets to wheels, bumper everything. I had previously washed my car 2 days before so I didn't get a wash done there YET! Straight to the point the guys over at formula took care of me instantly. Got rid of bad smell and made my engine bay look new! To top it off price was the best all around. Other car washes wanted 75-150$ for the job they did @ 40$. Highly recommend this place. Def going back before summer to get a full interior/exterior wash !

Overall would highly recommend as a trusted place to visit for your detailing/wrapping/waxing needs. Have been here years back as my first visit and on sight, Stefano(correct my spelling if it’s wrong) made me felt at home. Recently, with a new vehicle after 5 years since last visit, I wanted a wrap for my car. Discussion and follow up with guide through was impressive and easy to understand. Quotation was perfect. Time to get the car wrapped was solid. Final product, they threw in a few extra detailing and event tire shined/cleaned my car. 5/5, can’t thank Mr. Stefano and his team enough. Astoria Queens is where they are located, near major highways and close to Northern Blvd. Thanks for the welcoming and business ⭐️

Amazing work done to my car and previous car as well. Also when they wash your car to return it to you. I kid you not no one washes/details your vehicle better than these guys. Any problem they solve it. Anything you want to add or do to your car they'll get it done. Look how they left my car.

I wouldn’t recommend it. My car wasn’t really dirty, but I never expected them to pass a dirty cloth on the interior.

Waste of money. When I came home, I realised there were a lot of missed spots (with some dust that I wiped off, see pics). Also was told that the swirls will go away after the wax buff but they are still there. Basically I paid $91 for a lousy car wash.

STAY AWAY !! Had body work done here and was not happy about it at all they could not match the original color front end looks different than rest of the vehicle sloppy work paint drip orange peel etc . Hood was not prepped for paint so now paint is chipping off easily and also some parts do not have paint check picture for example. I will definitely not go back or send anyone there for BODY WORK especially when they call you and say the paint will not match 100% . If you care about your car DO NOT TAKE IT HERE FOR BODY WORK ! MACCO can do a better job !

This place is not cheap but worth every penny. I completely forgot to take before pictures but this car was not clean at all. It had years of gunk and traces of juices spilled both on the upholstery and dashboard. I took the Interior Rejuvenation package which takes 1-2 days to do but it doesnt take them that long to clean it, its only to allow the fabric to dry up because they will shampoo the heck out of it. Very happy and would recommend this place to anyone anytime. These people took this car back to original state with an extra shine.

Sergio, what an absolutely amazing job! I brought in my decent looking car and left with show piece! Sergio took the time like I asked. He washed, detailed, polished and treated my car with CQuartz. The care you guys took even washing my car, I'll take the drive down from Bayside every time. Sergio and Ariel were absolutely easy to work with and beyond courteous. It's because I got a quote on how much it was going to cost, ballpark figure, how much work needs determined final pricing, was why I came. No one else would even give me a quote. They wanted an initial visit, then an appointment. They were closer and also highly rated. After dealing with Ariel, and then Oliver in person, this is it. My car is also a 2012 and needed a good deal of paint correction. These pics don't even do it justice. Everyone working there are the nicest people, even Stefano was very cool. Sergio and Stefano gave me tips on how to care for my car and paint treatment, and how to keep it looking amazing. What a job, thanks guys!

Had to switch up my detail spot because the last one was highly unsatisfactory. Although Formula is an extra 10 minutes away from me, it's worth it. I tried them out today based on a couple of recommendations. I got the wash/wax for $76 after tax. They washed the rubber mats in the car and the trunk. They complied with my request not to add any greasy solution to the interior. They just cleaned it nicely. It looks showroom on the inside which is what I appreciate. The exterior was also done well with a very nice shine. I will be going here again going forward with both my car's. This was a Wednesday 10:30am drop-off and they assured me the car would be ready by 1pm. I ended up arriving at 1:30 and sure enough, ready to go. I assume weekends are probably very crowded but I have the luxury of dropping the car off on a weekday and working remotely.

I'm gonna let the pictures speak for themselves. They do such a fantastic job. I booked Luis for the clay bar + wax w/ interior leather conditioning. Forgot to take pics of the inside, but he did an amazing job there as well. Makes me feel like the day I drove the car off the lot last year. Give them your money!
