They use to be good when they first opened. Now, payment machines barely work. Line is always super long and can’t be because they’re that busy, but bc they don’t know what they’re doing. I was stuck inside the car wash for about 5 minutes because they directed someone’s car off the track or something. Almost had a heart attack. Go to dry your car and the towels are always damp. Hire back some of the adults instead of all these young folks

Man, I tell you what…I love the service at this place. My ride has never been cleaner. There’a a guy named Pete who works there, may be the manager or something, he is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Dude's always courteous and polite, not to mention what great job he does taking care of our needs. The equipment is very well maintained and even during the snow and ice (for the most part) we were able to count on the car wash to keep us “so fresh and so clean, clean…”. Great job Pete.

Honestly, I usually love this place but it has been PACKED lately and taken so long to get through, even with 2 check in lanes, because it only has one actual wash lane. They also forgot to scrub my rear window and license plate, so I had to do that detail myself, to also clear off my rear view mirror. But my nieces love going through it, they called it a roller coaster ride! Haha, they also are running a good promotion right now for a month membership same cost as a single wash.

1 spinny thing didn’t work and now my truck looks like dookie. $15 for a rookie wash? Outrageous

This is the best service that I've used in a while. It's so easy to keep my car clean with your service. I don't have to worry about having enough quarters to wash and clean my car out anymore. And the guys that work there do an excellent job!!

I love this car wash I got the monthly pass. I go to it at least every week now, they're vacuums are in good condition and they're always friendly and quick. Sometimes there is a line. Never had any damage or scratches from them. They use a power washer to pre-wash your car so they don't get a lot of grit in the scrubbers.

I had to return a borrowed vehicle and wanted to wash the recent snow storm off of it first, and these guys were still working despite the weather and how cold it was, their equipment t was even freezing, they asked me to wait while they closed the doors to let it warm up, I paid for a $20 wash, and went through in about 5 mins, it was actually my first time ever going through an automatic car wash so it was really funny. The car came out looking slick and clean for me to give it back to my buddy spotless, even though it already looks like it has been through the weather's hell again. Big thanks to these guys. Now that I have my original car back from the body shop, I'll be visiting again.

I’ve been really impressed with Ultimate Shine Car Wash! The staff is always super friendly, and you can tell they take great care in maintaining the facility. Even though it’s an automatic wash, I really appreciate that they have staff at the beginning to do a bit of hand washing—especially helpful for my hatchback since those don’t always get fully cleaned in a regular car wash. The free sweepers, glass cleaner, and mat cleaner on the other side are a great bonus too. Just an all-around great car wash with excellent service!

Won't call me back after damage was done to my car due to faulty equipment on their side. Have provided them with an estimate as they instructed me to do. And it's been 3 weeks and numerous messages left.

Helpful staff and quick service! Nice facility for vacuuming and detailing. Close to shopping and gasoline. Eateries nearby and grocery stores. Prices were varied and they have an awards program.

One of the best experiences i’ve ever had at a car wash. The employees were so helpful and a nice. they made sure to scrub and spray every nook a cranny :). I used to go to another place since but they shut down so i didn’t have anywhere to, i went here and it was one of the best things that i’ve done. They do so much better than them , they take pride in their work

I don’t know if it’s new management or what, I wasn’t able to renew my monthly membership so I showed up 2 weeks later with a new card but they wouldn’t let me start it over, they used to work with you but not anymore I guess. I also tried to call several times prior to discuss the renewal but they never answered. I suggest Thouroughbred in Cross Lanes and Charleston

Big shout out to the worker who was working solo on 1/28/26 around 5:30pm. Usually there are two workers but today there was only 1 - I'm sure due to the weather. I was shocked they were even open. But this guy worked his ass off doing the pre-cleaning including kicking snow/ice off the bottom of my 4runner. Truly went above and beyond. You just don't see that kind of hard work often. I didn't get his name but I hope he is treated well there and knows he's appreciated.

Had to get my Yukon cleaned up after traveling thru several snow squalls in Western Maryland. Came out pretty good, but the wheel shine is not so well. Brought it back, and Jacob ran me through again. A young man with bright red hair explained he prime the wheel shine device and came out much better. Vacuum and drying area well maintained and clean. But some customers are rather rude by keeping their car doors open and not allowing other customers in the lane.

I live 1 1/2 hours away, but I visit my son 4-6 times a month in St. Albans. I loved this car wash until today. I go through it at least twice a month. Today is my last time. I did get the $20 car wash. They lined me up and barely sprayed my vehicle off. I don’t believe the brush was used at all. I get finished going through the wash and turn to the vacuum's. I get out and check my truck and I can’t believe how bad it looked! So I decided to vacuume the front of my truck out. Before I went inside and told the guy that my truck was still dirty. He walked out side with me and I showed him everything. Well actually before he got close to my truck he said “Oh Wow! Did they not spray your truck off?” I told him barely. I asked if I could go through again. He asked if I purchased the ceramic package. I told him no, but I did just spend $20 dollars. He said there was nothing they would do if I didn’t purchase the ceramic and said that if I did I could through as many times as needed. He said if I wanted to go back through he would spray my truck. I said “and that would cost me $20 again”. He said unfortunately yes. I told him I would go to a self service and finish the job myself. Yes the receipt says All sales final, no refunds issued. Except I didn’t ask for a refund I asked if I could go back through since my truck wasn’t cleaned the first time. I wish I could of posted the video!

Update 2025: I decided to give them a few more chances because, in all honesty, it's a darned convenient concept that appeals to my level of laziness. Enough about me. Turns out the decision was rewarded. They completely turned it around, ex. the employees look and act like they care, the wash was quick and always does a good job, the towels were plentiful, less damp, but best of all they were clean. I realize that's a challenge because we use them to wipe off whatever gunk gets on our cars but if you offer the service, it needs to come with some level of purpose. And that's exactly how this shop is running now, with a purpose. Just went there again today, they got a little busy while there but they knocked it out of the park again! All hoses working, bins full of well-folded dry towels, plenty of window cleaner spray bottles, and the place was tidy and kept up like someone cares about what they're doing. Credit where credit is well due. Keep up the great work!
