Swiftwater Car Wash #5

I usually go to the drive thru car wash down the street, but I felt like using a car wash bay this time. That was a big mistake. The first bay was closed, so I went to the next one and used my card. The gun only "kinda" worked on "High Pressure Soap", by that I mean, it was kinda spraying a little less than what you would normally get on "Low Pressure Rinse" at other car washs. It took a while to get the car covered in soap...but there was simply no water coming out the gun on any of the "Rinse" options... This meant I couldn't get the soap off my car. After about 5 minutes I gave up and stopped the machine with 5 minutes left. Well, I don't know what kind of soap they use, but by the time I arrived to another car wash the soap had dried and I couldn't quite get all of the soap off. My car still has residue on it, hopefully I can get it all off on my next attempt Long Story Short. My car was dirtier after using this car wash than when I first arrived. I basically paid time and money to get my car dirty.

The wash drive through was closed. So I hand washed my car and it was ok. Then when I needed to purchase the cleaning wipes from the vending machine I had to pay 3 times because I didn't get my purchase as it was stuck in the vending machine. After all that I only received one cleaning wipe and it was supposed to be moist with glass cleaner and it was dry. Not a good day to wash my car. 😔

Went to this car wash when Shadetree Carwash paystations wouldn't accept my debt card in 3 different wash stalls. Had no problem here. Will use this car wash again if needed in the future.

The self carwash the first one left to right ate my $1.25 didn't give me back the quarters when I didn't have enough quarters. I opted then to pay with credit card and it wasn't letting me. I moved to the middle one and it charged me $5 on my card when it says $4. This carwash no matter how much they fix it, disppointment never fails. We drive to this one because there is no other self carwash close medical center that actually works.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Pulled in to wash my truck, they’re out of all soaps and chemicals. Water poured out of the foaming brush, don’t waste your time or money here. When I tried to call and get my $ back, all I got was a busy signal. Avoid at all cost.

Cheap, easy, and not very busy, just the way I like my self service car washes! There is a drive through automated car wash available, and vacuums with a shampoo feature I haven't dared to use yet, and although a stall or two may be down when you decide to try this place out, the pricing ($4) and time allowed (10 minutes) makes a quick washup convenient.

Wash is decent but below average, vacuums were all broken expect one which did not properly work, didn’t even suck up a single pebble from my floorboards. Would not recommend coming here to wash your vehicle.

It seemed like the machine was not dispensing any soap today, which is especially unfortunate since my car got bombed bad by some bird poop and I was really hoping the car wash was going to clean it all off.

Came for a vacuum only and swiped my card but no flow from the air vacuum at the last stale next to the handicap spot and was charged $10! I kindly ask for a refund!

Swiped my card to wash my car. Hardly any soap came out the hose. Then I switched to the soap brush any drops of soap came out. Worst car wash place. Wish I could leave no stars on the review. Don’t come here! I repeat. Don’t come here

The drive through wash is okay. Last time it was app only though. Today I wanted to clean my engine, each bay was quarters only, the bill changer was not working and the credit card change machine was out too. So, basically bring your own quarters.

This used to be a good place now the chemicals are so watered down if there is any at all. The foamer does not work. It shoots colored water. No tire or wheel cleaner. Basically everything else is nonexistent just water and very, very little chemical if any. If you want to rinse your car off and use a vacuum, this is a decent place. It’s $3.50 for 11 minutes. I didn’t try the drive-through but the last few times I’ve been here the chemicals have been the same.

Payed $16 for the ultimate plus drive through. Photos show what I got for $16… had to then go to the bay and spend $10 to finish cleaning and still didn’t get it clean. Would have used the bay only but they don’t have an option for receipts. Took a chance and learned from it. Lower your expectations for this car wash

Went for the first and last time. As it is reasonable priced the machine decided it wanted a tip and did not give change like it said it would. So take exact cash if you do choose to use. Also the car wash process sounded good from inside the vehicle but upon inspection when I got it. It missed a lot of spots and I got the best wash. I look forward to hearing back from someone for my change but if I don’t. Enjoy your tip as I will not be back.

‏Complaint – $20 Cash Lost in Machine at Swiftwater Car Wash #5 ‏Dear Swiftwater Car Wash Management, On July 24, 2025], at around [،: 5:40 PM], I inserted $20 cash into one of the machines at your Swiftwater Car Wash #5 location on Bandera Rd. Unfortunately, the machine took the money but did not activate the car wash, nor did it return the cash. ‏I attempted to contact your business through available channels, but I have received no response. ‏I kindly request a refund of the amount or for someone to reach out to resolve the issue. This experience was disappointing, and I hope it can be resolved professionally.

Tonight I spent $25 actually a little bit over in the middle manual car wash bay; it did not take cards…, (not a big deal). The high-pressure soap option dispensed zero soap. The triple foam conditioner, barely dispensed any. Approximately a month ago, the handicap bay vacuum cleaner got me for two $10 charges, but didn’t do a damn thing. I give a five star review for the cleanliness like a trash, however, operational equipment and the lack of maintenance, judging by previous reviews, I give one because I have to. Swift water car wash owner… please tell us hard-working citizens that spent our hard work and money at your facility. What you plan to do regarding the equipment, lack of operational equipment, and reimbursement. That’s the least that you could do.
