Up until today I had good experiences at Great American Car Wash. I suppose the bar was set much lower however because I have always gotten the general interior car wash and not expected perfection for $20. Today I went and had a full interior detail done for $151.99. I told the gentlemen when he looked at my car and we filled out the paperwork for the detail that my main concern was the driver side front seat area (dash, ceiling liner and door) because the mess in that area is what prompted me to seek a detail in the first place. What I paid for was supposed to cover that area. I got my car back and the interior was not fully cleaned. There was still dog hair all over the back of the car (which they said would be taken care of with the steam clean) and the drivers said had been half assed cleaned at best. I pointed this out to the attendant and he took it back for 5 minutes and "used the air tool" to get what he could but it would be another $59.99 if I wanted the rest cleaned "per the manager". I pointed out that my car was still not clean and I wanted it cleaned or I wanted my money back he said there was nothing they could do for me. I left upset and then realized at my next stop that they hadn't given me my car mats back and had to go back and wait another 20 minutes while they searched for them. I will be disputing this charge with my bank.

I paid $27.99 so I could get the interior cleaned and cleaned well. My car needed a lot of work but that's why I paid more. Theres still stuff everywhere and fingerprints on the rear windows. Wasn't wiped very well if at all and still needs some vacuuming. I've included pictures and the receipt. I was just there and kind of regret it

Took my car in this morning. It had some bad hard water spots from the sprinklers at my boyfriend's gated community that were starting to ruin my car. He said Great American Car Wash was the best and would be able to fix it. They exceeded my expectations and my car looks better than it did new. Extremely happy and highly recommend Thank you!

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING...I asked for a hand wash for my Volkswagen convertible bug and right after I noticed the fabric on the top was all ripped up. The amount of lies and disrespect my dad and I received was outrageous. Very poor customer service. Not only did I feel uncomfortable going to this place by myself but they kept trying to make me pay for a service that was way too expensive for my little car. I ended up paying more than what I wanted and I can see there hand prints on my rear window and the carpets still look dirty. Dust was also on my seats right when I got my car back, not worth the price...pictures will show the before and after.Services: Vacuuming, Auto interior vacuuming

I had a great experience here. We got our interior steam-cleaned after our son's vomiting episode in the car and they did a wonderful job. Great work and very friendly and helpful. AJ was very nice and so was everyone else we came into contact with.

First time having my car washed at GA car wash 2/8/20 3:46 I have a Santa Fe suv so maybe that's why they didn't do the top of the car. They didn't vacuum the back of the car, they didn't do a good job on the windows and they did a horrible job on the top of my car. I stood on the door jams to clean it with a little help from one of the workers there but gave up when I realized I was better off cleaning the top at home myself. 60% of the car looked good so it wasn't a complete waste. It took me about 20 minutes to clean windows, top of car and vacuum the back. I paid $16 a half price deal for a first time customer.

I had a great experience with my first, second and third car wash thus far and will continue to do business with them for the future to come. The workers were great and friendly and the owner really cares about making customers happy. I highly recommend this place. But don't take my word for it. Go and see... Thank you for the Great American customer service.

Well I got the $17.00 wash and it looked like they dried it with dirty towels or something. When I wash it myself it comes out 5X better! And the tire stuff they use is weak!! So I'm gonna wash it myself first thing in the morning! I won't be going back there!! ....i haven't had a chance to write another review since this last one. But the day after the owner call me directly and was very apologetic and very concerned and asked me to please bring my car back so they can hook my car up!! So I haven't had a chance to but I was pleased with his professional concern!!!

Nice folks work here. Very polite and professional staff. Seriously, I mean everyone. I spoke to about 4 different people here and they were all super nice. Lots of different options and they explain everything in detail. There work is first rate. The waiting area is comfortable, clean and they offer free bottle water, tea and coffee. It's also worth mentioning that they graciously offer a 20% discount for military personnel.

I am very happy with the detail given my truck. It was little pricey, but well worth the work done. I have some scratches and paint rubs from the previous driver, and they were able to buff them all out.Very patriotic as well. Thank for supporting us veterans

The people here are really very nice. I just got a detail on my car and it looks great! They made a good price too and gave me a special offer. The owner, A.J., is such a nice person to talk to, and he can speak with you in English, Spanish, French, and probably some other languages too:) being a Bible believing Christian I can't restrain from saying: God bless you guys!

Ever since the New owner Aj has taken this car wash over it has become the best car wash ever, I bring my Brand New Corvette Sting Ray and Porsche cayenne and they handle it with such care. this car wash has some great employee and not to mention the owner himself will greet you and make sure you are comfortable. Great service, Great attitude, well worth my money i highly recommend this car wash if you want to see your car handled with care

I paid $250.00 for the ENTIRE interior of my car to be detailed. A special spot of attention was the front passenger seat as there was major stains on that seat from spilled water and spilled Me-N-Eds cinnamon bites. The front seat stain removal was about 95%. The rest of the interior not so much. It appears the interior was steam cleaned but no pre-vaccuming was done to first pick up the loose particles. After the steam cleaning there was no wipe down so there was residue everywhere. Apparently the employees working on my car couldn't figure out how to turn off my car's headlights or bother to come ask me how to turn them off so they just left the lights on, causing my battery to die. At least they jumped my car. I can't help but feel ripped off. Initially this place wanted to charge me $300..00 to detail the entire interior or $100.00 to detail the seats only. When I hesitated and said just the seats for $100.00 they turn and offer me a "deal" to detail the entire interior for $250.00 and a car wash. I reluctantly accepted the said deal which also left residue on the exterior of my car. For what I paid the interior of my car should have sparkled! I don't think i'll be going here again.

These guys did a great job. Very thorough. It is a machine wash so if you are concerned its not a hand car wash but they do a great job and offered a nice discount as a first time customer. And they sell monthly wash passes!

I went to get a hand car wash and they stole my prescription pills. I spoke with a manager and she said that she checked the cameras and she didn't see them steal anything and that she couldn't do anything about it. Worse experience ever in my life! Be careful people the employee's have sticky fingers. They didn't even apologize for it and made me feel like I was lying! I will never go back!

Purchased Groupon for Liberty Wash and Orbital Wax - awesome deal! No pressure to upgrade, merely suggestions. Customer service was wonderful. Because it was a Saturday before a holiday, told wax would take 2.5 hours, but was done in much less, and car looks great. Waiting room is lovely and relaxing. They sell greeting cards, too, that aren't carried anywhere else. Looking forward to going back.

I brought my new '16 Hyundai Sonata to do full service detail in the outside and inside of the car. I've had the car only a few months and didnt require a lot of work and it was mainly dirt and a small stain of liquid on the inside. The total cost for the service did not meet the quality of the end result. My windows and windshields were smudged and notified the employee and I will credit that he made sure the car was clean of smudge-free but even then I could also see smudges on the dashboard and center console. I paid nearly $400 for the service and I wanted to keep the car clean and looking brand new, but unfortunately that was not the result. I personally could have done a better job.

Had my 1972 VW Bug detailed. The staff at Great American Car Wash did a fantastic job on my car. They almost made a 1972 look brand new!! I was really impressed with what they could do to make my car look good. The paint needed plenty of work and they did it!! The shampooing of the carpet and mats was fantastic!! Thank you AJ & staff!! Job well done!!

5.0 star rating 4/27/2016I live in Mariposa and had to wait while my car got detailed so I got to watch the entire process. The detail took 3 hours (all other detail places I called needed a whole day). During those 3 hours 3-4 people worked on every square inch of my car. They were able to get the cigaret stains out of cloth seats (stains I thought were permanent). When they were done the owner, who had introduced himself to me earlier, double checked the car and cleaned some more. My car looked brand new when done. Also, while I was waiting there was free coffee/tea, free popcorn and a comfortable waiting area. I usually dont write reviews, but I am so impressed with the customer service and quality of work I felt compelled to write this one.

WORST car wash experience I have ever had. This was my first time trying out the express drive thru car wash and for starters the man giving me instructions before going in had a terrible attitude like getting frustrated and yelling at me for not lining up my wheels properly the first time. I'm pretty sure you hate your job but don't take it out on the customer. As I'm going through the wash I hear this loud snap and look at my passenger side and see my side mirror had been snapped off! Once out of the drive thru I let the man who's drying the car know in a calm manner that my mirror just broke while being in there. Then this man comes to check it out and he's nice about it, and says to go inside to fill out a form. The lady inside is the one who really made this a horrible experience. I could tell she had an attitude. She asked me to fill out the form while she goes outside and checks out the damage. She comes back with a bad attitude and asked if I knew that I had a lose screw and of course I didn't but she acts like I was lying about it. So apparently there's nothing they can do if there's already pre existing damage. Maybe the screw was loose or missing before, I honestly had no idea, but the way she unsympathetically handled the situation by making me feel like it was my fault is why I'm leaving this bad review. Learn how to treat your paying customers with decency and respect and at least try to help in situations like this not just say there's nothing they can do in a bad attitude. For the record I was calm and respectful the whole time. Luckily the nice workers at Jiffy Lube next door were kind enough to tape my mirror to get me home. Will not be coming back to this place and neither will my friends and family.

$140 for wax and wash with the works and these guys left smudges, scratched my window, took over 2 hours and didn't bother to vacuum out the trunk...just left the wet matts on the dirty trunk carpet. The owner tried to scam me out of another $40 by telling me I needed some unnecessary debris removal service before the wax. Complete incompetence and terrible work.

I brought in my 15 year old Camry which has seen more then it's fair share of spills and crumbs from my young kids, and had never once been steamed before. It was nasty! So I finally brought it in for an interior steam clean thinking that it would at least get some of the lighter stains out, but they far exceeded my expectations. The interior looks like new! Even the really gross and dark juice stains were gone. They detailed every inch of it and it has never been this clean. I highly recommend them for this service. I'm impressed!

Inquired about getting my headlight polished and the rude/unprofessional employee tried charging me more than the website had posted for that service. I also stated that I was a veteran and inquired about a veteran discount. Employee didn t care and I said I m outta here . Not sure how this place is still in business after reading similar reviews...

I bought a Groupon for the 30-day unlimited speed wash pass here and right after getting my first car wash here I noticed that part of my car had been scratched up from the brushes inside the car wash. The scratches are really noticeable since I have a dark colored car and the scratches are white (paint was scratched off). I am positive the scratches happened during the car wash because my car is brand new (no scratches were there before) and the area that has been scratched could not have been caused by another car. Also, the random scratch pattern is consistent with the brushes inside the car wash. I am very upset and will not be returning here! Don't go here, it's not worth the risk!

The first time I took my car in a worker named Danny washed my car and did a great job. The second time I took it in one of the wheels was discolored like they might have left some kind of strong chemical on it too long. I had no idea that it would not clean up so I didn't complain to the owner. I thought they would take care of it the next time I took it in. The third time I took it in they did the same thing to all the wheels plus they scratched my right rear fender. My car did not have a scratch on it any place and it's a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. The owner, A. J. #1 checked me in this time and I told him about the first wheel they had messed up and he told me that he would look at it after the wash. That was when all the wheels came out messed up and the right rear fender was scratched. I complained to the worker and he told the owner, A. J. and came back and told me that he would come over to check it out. After waiting for quite a while, I saw the owner get into a car and drive off. I went inside and talked to his wife and she called him and he told her that he could acid wash the wheels for $20.00 each. I knew that would only damage them more and by this time I didn't trust him to use acid any where near my car. I called and asked him about the damage done to my car and he denied talking to me or checking me in. He absolutely lied to me because I have the receipt with his name on it... I took my car to a well known paint and body shop and they told me that the scratch could not be buffed out because it is down to the metal and the entire fender would have to be painted. They also said that A.J.'s car wash used a strong chemical on my wheels which damaged them. They also said that you can't use acid on the type of wheels that were on my car. It is going to cost a lot of money to replace my wheels and repaint my fender and A.J. refuses to even talk to me about it. So I will have to take him to Court to take care of the damages that his car wash did. If you care about your car, do not take it to Great American Car Wash.

After getting rejected EVERY TIME at another place (you know, that car wash that looks like everyone and their mom goes there) because their detail guy only does certain hours and days that working people do not have, I finally got to talk to an employee who was nice enough to show some empathy and gave me advice. She said, "I heard there's a place across Ashlan that does a pristine job, even better than we do, and I'm sure they're open today." Not kidding, she literally said that. Thank my lucky stars because after driving across Ashlan on Blackstone going south, low and behold, there she was - Great American Car Wash. When I took my car in, it was after 5 pm and the place looked like it was going to close down for the night. I was greeted by a friendly face who said, "someone will be right with you ma'am." When another employee came out to help me, I told him I needed a wash and detailing. I was annoyed from my experiences with the "other guys" and was not being all too kind with my tone at this point. However, the worker said they were closing down for the night and could only do a wash, but that I could come in the next day for detailing. I then proceeded to explain that I've been trying to get my car detailed for months now and really don't have the time after work every day. He must have seen the desperation in my eyes, because he then said, you know what, I will get my workers to stay a little later to get you what you need. I was so surprised by his response. Most people will say something along the lines of, "well, that's your problem, but come back tomorrow and we can maybe help you," but not this guy. As I stayed in the customer waiting area, the kind clerk lady and I engaged in some small talk. About 15 minutes later, I asked her how much the snacks were, and she said that I could get what I wanted and it was on her. Another surprise, very unexpected. Looking at all the certificates, pictures, plaques on their wall, I noticed they were addressed to either the company name or a guy named AJ. After waiting for an hour, the worker came back inside, sweating from the work and steam of their detailing, and said they were almost done. I quickly glanced at his name tag and it said AJ. He went back outside with his guys and worked relentlessly on my car. When they were finished, I thanked them, and I left a happy and grateful customer. That experience was like none I've ever had before, let alone from a car wash company. I just thought, most people don't do things like that. A little later for AJ and his workers turned out to be an hour and a half later working on my car and getting their customer what was needed. Thank you to AJ and his workers for showing your kindness to someone who doesn't always get it. Your respect and generosity was just what I needed that night to remind me that there are good people out there, even in the most unexpected places.
