They dont pay attention to detail. But in all, they're a 4 star.

Ignore all the 1-star reviews; they're for the automated car wash next to Rafael's (which they don't own or manage). This place is fast, thorough, and reasonably priced. Came on a Sunday afternoon, waited in line for about 15min (there were 2 cars ahead of me in line and two already in the bays) and was washed, dried, vacuumed, and glass cleaned in another ~15min. Fair warning: If you want your interior cleaned, you'll have to wait outside, which can get cold or hot depending on the day. Most importantly, they use clean towels and cloths so they don't put any scratches in your paint like EVERY automated car wash. They have been closing about 30min earlier than their stated hours recently, so plan accordingly.

As of November 2022, they charge $25 for a full service car wash (larger vehicles are more). For that price, you get a hand car wash, hand dried only outside, full vacuum, and mats washed but we’re wet.They did a pretty good job, 1 car took 10 min to wash, 2-4 people. I would come back for a quick wash, but if the car is dirtier, will try different place. I am happy for the price paid, just need to keep my car clean. Was super quick

I’m reluctant to tell you how wonderful this car wash is so it doesn’t get busier even though I’d love for Rafael and his very hard workers to do well. So much bang for your buck.

Such an amazing place. After some unfortunate experiences at a regular car wash I went to Rafael’s based on google reviews. It not only met my expectations but went above and beyond. My can was a dirty mess. They did a fantastic job inside and out and it looks like it came straight from the dealership! They washed the weather tech mats and dried them too!! The entire job takes about 10-12 mins per car so be prepared to wait if there are cars ahead of you. Totally worth the wait. I’ll be spending a lot of time there this winter.

Best hand wash I've found in Westchester, quick and good price. Better than suds in Yonkers. Small place only takes 2 cars at a time so don't be surprised if they're busy. The guys put good effort in though, definitely going back.

If you have the time to wait in the line, then wait for the detailed wash, and $25 (car) $40 (SUV/Truck), then it's a decent wash They take their time but do a complete job, unless the line is too long and they need to get the cards through.

Came through at 8:15am on a Saturday had three cars in front of me. One was in the process of being washed. Was seen by 8:40 am. My car was very dirty. Was out by 8:57. I’m very happy with the result I was presented with. Was it perfect? no. Door jambs weren’t cleaned nor was the area near my gas cap. But the value for quality is amazing. Very happy, will be back.

I went to the car wash here for the first time since it was renovated. Now firstly using the robot is a cute novelty but that's where it ends. Firstly it is a bit one size fits all with just a few options and the only option that allows you to wax / put a coating on your car is the top-of-the-line option for $20. the unfortunate fact of the matter is the robot really is not good at cleaning the car as it does not possess any brushes that would allow it to move harder stuck on film from things like window washer fluid. also where the back of my car has a wing off the back it virtually completely missed my back hatch. Finally there should be a sign the bring your own towels as you will need to wipe away the spots.

As of June 2022, they charge $25 for a full service car wash (larger vehicles are more). For that price, you get a hand car wash, hand dried, full vacuum, and mats washed. They did a pretty good job, much better than any other place in the WPs area. Update June 2025, now $30 for a car but still great!

I’ve tried many car washes, but none compare to the quality and attention to detail that Rafael and his team provide. My car looked brand new inside and out—they didn’t miss a single spot! The service was fast, friendly, and professional. You can tell they really care about their customers and take pride in their work. If you want your car to shine like it just came off the showroom floor, this is the place to go. I highly recommend Rafael’s Car Wash to anyone who values top-notch service and amazing results. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Good car detail for $30 for cars. I prefer hand washes over machines and this wash was a good choice. They washed my car, cleaned the inside, and dressed my tires. A bit of a wait as there were 7 cars in front of me but it was worth the detail.

One of the best car washes in Westchester. I was third in line and waited about 30 minutes. Totally worth it. The crew pays close attention to detail and does an excellent job. My car looked spotless. Prices are reasonable, and the service is top-notch.

Really nice staff. They did an excellent and thorough job on my car (that was covered in dried salt). $30+ 20% tip. Well worth it! Thumbs up!
