Sparkle Buggy Car Wash

I usually love this place and it’s normally the only place I go. However today, the man that was directing traffic at 2:40pm (Feb 23), had his panties in a bunch!! He was the older gentleman that’s maybe 5.5 ft tall, whose face looks sunken in by the mouth area. He directed me to pull up WAY TOO CLOSE to the bumper of the car infront of me. I inched forward slowly, hoping to gain a little more space. He became impatient and started looking at me thru my windshield with wide eyes. Then he shook his head at me. The conveyor moved me ahead, so now he was in my drivers side window…still staring at me. Also spraying the ground, instead of my car. My car looked fine afterwards, but I’m totally puzzled by the unnecessary attitude. *sigh* guess I’ll be taking a break from this place for awhile. And for the record, it’s cold, windy and overcast today. They weren’t busy.

I had a very muddy vehicle. Though, I have been to a dozen other car washes with little to no problems coming out clean. I was still getting out of my vehicle with dirt catching on my clothes. I went to call about possibly getting a refund or an another cleaning. The guy who cleaned my car picked up(he knew who I was remembering how dirty my vehicle was) and said he could clean it again(I mentioned I just got my windshield fixed and couldn't come in again till the next day). He continued to tell me that no one would do the service again for free even if I explained my situation unless I went in when he was there. While, I appreciated that extension of curteousy, it was still inconvenient to me when I paid for the highest wash available thinking I would get my money's worth. Dissapointed in this outcome.

First time in a while as I usually don't go to car washing place that still use old tech.. needless to say I had to go thru twice to even get the bugs off the windshield. Wasn't clean as I would have liked it. Might use in a pinch but not for $14

I like it. I go to the one on center rd, across from meijer. I haven’t had any issues so far. The prices are reasonable. There isn’t a lot of room if you want to dry off your car or clean it out. But it really depends on the day of the week too. Clearly the weekends might be a little crowded. So, when I wash my car I do it in the middle of the week.

The best carwash in the area, hands down! Staff is always polite and accommodating! Great job, guy's! Keep up the good work! Not many car washes get my truck even half way clean but this one definitely gets the job done! Quality service I don't mind spending my money on!

Update: new workers and you can tell when you pull in that they want to be ANYWHERE but here. Pay for one of the best washed and get a half ass wash at best. The passenger side of the windshield gets scrubbed and not the rest. Wheels are not even close to clean. Pick another place if your looking for anything close to your monies worth!

I live on a dirt road and it seem like the car wash did a great job cleaning the car because most time I have to drive thought the car was a second time to get it clean but I didn't need too

There have been 2 “now hiring” signs out front of this car wash. My brother and i just moved back to Flint at the beginning of August and were looking for part time work. We filled out applications and turned them in. A man came to us and took our apps. Looked at them for about 10 seconds then literally just said “Mother nature” not knowing what he meant i asked him and he said because of rain they wont be hiring until October. Today is August 27th and those now hiring signs are still out there. Not sure what is the deal but I’m not liking how he spoke to my brother and I. Not sure who that guy was but he was rude and I’m pretty sure he threw our applications away.

Old dude working there on March 10th didnt treat our car like we had just purchased the top tier wash lit the young guys did when we came in. They sprayed the wheel wells the old guy barely did. He doesnt seem to like his job

I'm not really sure if you still need the wash after the guys soap the car down. They do a really fine job before the wash. I also noticed that these machines don't scratch my car as much

I received a Sparkle Buggy coupon book for Christmas, what a great, thoughtful gift. They did a very good job cleaning the salt off of my truck!

This is what $12 gets you. I’d go somewhere else! Made my car shiny, but it’s still dirty.. The wipes must’ve never even touched the front of my car or the hood because it all came off w a dry rag. This place is stealing people’s money I’d go anywhere else

Extremely rude. Don’t take Apple Pay so we tried to pay with quarters since we don’t carry cash and instead of politely saying “we can’t take those” EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE PAID WITH QUARTERS BEFORE, he stated “I can’t hand those out…” do they not have a money box for that exact reason????

I paid $13.00 for a wash and the guy that unusually use's a brush to run across the front and back of the car barley touched the car all he did was half ass job of spraing my car. Needless to say my car was still dirty when i drove out and my tires didn't shine which i paid for as well very disappointed in this car wash i will go elsewhere ..
