They do a great wash in and outside. I was just shocked at the cost. $50 plus not including tip. I think you would need to go yourself to decide if it's worth it. Unfortunately I'm unable to clean my car myself so it's worth it in my opinion.

Was a fan of this place for years and would only take my car here, never again. Sales person was absolutely vile in how he tried to upsale me. When I reported it to the receptionist she said she'd let the manager know and then never left her spot. When I got my car back the outside was still absolutely filthy. Inside was vacuumed well, but there were multiple parts they had made sticky with whatever they wiped my car down with. Super disappointed honestly, I really liked this place.

Pelican Car Wash in Palm Harbor has been my go-to spot since 1990, and their dedication to hard work has kept me coming back. The staff at Pelican are a group of tremendously hard workers, consistently putting in the effort to ensure a thorough and efficient car wash experience. While the service is generally commendable, there have been occasional issues that arise. However, what sets Pelican apart is their commitment to promptly addressing any concerns. The team takes customer feedback seriously, ensuring that even when hiccups occur, they are swiftly rectified. Over the years, I've witnessed the evolution of Pelican Car Wash in adapting to customer needs and maintaining a standard of excellence. Their attention to detail and customer satisfaction has created a sense of loyalty among patrons, myself included. The consistency of their hard work and the willingness to address service issues make Pelican Car Wash a reliable choice for those seeking quality car care in Palm Harbor.

We always get our car washed every week at Pelican Car Wash. the washes come out perfect inside and out. we also get the oil change and car wash when we need it every 6 months. Everyone is always very friendly, prompt, and quick. I would highly recommend this this place if you need a car wash. family-owned and operated

Worst place. They get your car clean..but it takes them like 1.5- 2 hours. They only clean it for a total of maybe 15 mins. Too expensive, takes too long, owner is horrible to deal with. If you dont by extra services they push you to back of the line. This place should be avoided. I watched 14 vehicles who arrived after me get washed before me.

NOT what it used to be - PASS. I just left here and paid $55 to have their luxury wash. They spent about two minutes cleaning the inside where were they supposedly armor all and clean the doors the dash in the jams there’s still dirt and dog hair They did not armor all / clean the tires. Just skipped over that. left streaks all over the windows and the windshield is dirty. There’s tape stuck to the window on the front in the back from where they stuck there instruction it’s absolutely not even worth $10. My truck was not even that dirty to start with. Absolutely will not be back here ever again.

This is the only car wash I go to because they do a great job with everything and the staff is so kind. I’ve been coming here for years and they ask how my family is, they remember thoughtful details and I always feel comfortable and welcome….and my car always looks great!

Pelican Car Wash is a stand up place!!! Been coming here for over four years for oil changes and car washes and they have always done a great job.Yesterday must have been an off day for them, I had both, an oil change and a car wash, but I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the car wash. So as you would, I called and left a message to complain. They called me back early this morning to bring my truck in and show them what I wasn't happy with and they decided to wash and detail my ttruck again at no charge. They really stand behind their work and strive to do a great job. This is the way business should be done. That's pretty rare these days. Thank you Pelican Car Wash!!!!

The only reason they received a one star review from me is because I can’t leave a NO star review. The oil change manager asked me what I needed. I told him what I would like. They quoted me $84.99 and has me sign the paper before the service began. My oil change was completed, my car wash is finished and they hand me a bill for $160 which was nearly double the agreed-upon price. If you have any brains you will NEVER trust this place with your money I spoke with the manager and he listened Earnestly to my complaint. I told him that because of what he did that he would receive the worst review that they have ever had until I start looking at their reviews. I realized they had a 3.4 Google review rating for this company. I should’ve known better and I now take full responsibility for ignorance, my disappointment, my anger, and my resentment. Now that this terrible experience is over, I truly forgive the, the undertrained management and the nice, kind lady behind the desk. The truth is that this company will be out of business soon with or without my review. S.S.

I am in awe of how they do their job and have the utmost respect for everyone there. They do a fantastic job! I am on the ultimate membership which for the less than the price of two “ultimate” car washes per month you can get the membership (where by the way) you can go every day and get very good results for that much. Makes no sense not to unless your a person that likes to be in the sun sweating and paying for membership that you have to do yourself at these “diy” car wash places….or you have this lovely group do it for you! Also please remember to tip these guys! They work very hard for their money in the crazy Florida 🌞 and heat! I hate to hear ppl complaining about any little thing and then to not tip someone is inexcusable. They have always been respectful and deserve respect! Just for transparency my name shows up as crystal but my kid did that. It’s Jill.

Kind customer service the lady at the desk is very nice. My car was given back super clean and I like that they have a tv in the lobby to keep us entertained while we wait for our cars. Thanks Pelican I will be back soon!

Does anyone actually like this place or is just the convenience of it? I recently got a vehicle “cleaned” there. The pictures speak for themselves. I had pollen and bird feces still on my vehicle, they “vacuumed” as I got the luxury package yet I found dirt in one of my cup holders still. and my windows had streaks and there was even fallen tree debris in by my wipers still. This level of incompetence does not deserve business as I’m. They broke a clip that the window shade hangs from on my car. At this point, I’m not even sure what I paid for. I could have broken my car for free.

Last Wednesday, I was leaving Pelican Car Wash in Palm Harbor and when I went to use the bathroom, they turned off the water. When, I asked the manager what he could do he gave me a paper towel. He did not care that he inconvenienced the customer. They have a car wash offer to give water for free every time you do a car wash and you get it unlimited. The machine broke and they never fixed it. Not only does this manager lie about caring about the customer. He is cheap and has no common courtesy. I mean seriously, turning off water before the customer leaves the car wash. I am not sure if this manager is just not paying attention or is he just that cheap and not caring.

Pelican Car Wash has been in Palm Harbor for 30 years and continues to provide the best full service car wash in our area! Please consider supporting the local businesses verses all the pop up chains. Pelican does an awesome job! Detailed oriented and always feels good getting into a sparkling “new” car!

This place is horrible! I just got the "Ultimate Wash" ($44 after tax) as I wanted the inside and trunk vacuumed and cleaned up. They did a terrible job and didn't even bother opening the trunk! What a complete ripoff! I'll never come back and if you're looking for a car wash I recommend you go somewhere else. Also the inside of my car smells like old moldy wet rags now. Check out the other reviews about this place. Sounds like they used to be good, now they're complete trash! **Update- I brought it back and they did redo my car and made it right but I wasn't planning on spending 3 hours (2 times there) on Saturday at a car wash. Like I said they did make it right but I won't be coming back.

Logan is AMAZING at car detailing he’s just beginning his career and grew up in a family who loves taking care of cars :) his detail work was unbelievable with removing all the headlight residue and getting the paint back to a dark rich color. When it comes to detailing call in for an appointment or go within the first 3 hours to get a spot same day - thank you again Logan see you next year :)

Do not waste your time or your money. I paid for the luxury car wash and it was far from that. There was water drops all over my car which they were suppose to dry, streaky windows because they reuse the same microfiber cloth for every vehicle which left lint all over, they didn’t even clean the cup holders! When I spoke to the manager he said he would fix it and took it to the back 15 minutes later and supposedly it was all set all he did was clean the cup holders. I did not expect much since they are not professional auto detailers but after spending $60 I at least expected the interior wiped down with clean cloths, the windows cleaned correctly and the outside dry, they promised much more per their list. I will not be back what a disappointment, not sure how they are still in business.
