I recently had my car washed at Chamo Hand Car Wash, and I'm impressed with their meticulous attention to detail. They treat every vehicle with care, ensuring a thorough clean regardless of size. Additionally, their wheel cleaning is top-notch, leaving every part of your vehicle looking refreshed and well-maintained. Highly recommend for a thorough and quality car wash experience.Also I try to go once a week and I do recommend the Gold Wash.FYI: They support all first responders with your proper identification..

I went in for tints on my Accord and they did an amazing job. You could see how they strive so much for professional work & do their best in everything. If you thinking about going there I definitely recommend you to go & get your car right See how my car completely changed because of them. Definitely going to come back.Update:Let me update you guys about the tints after more than 8 months. It is the real deal ! I got their carbon ceramic tints and I have not had a single issue seeing at night even after midnight and in completely dark roads. They really have hold up to their standards, more than satisfied with their product. It s a no brainer, just go and they will get you right.

Chamo s is the best HAND wash around. If your car is ceramic coated this is the spot you need to go to. They use a PH neutral soap which won t harm the coating. Not to mention they do an AMAZING job washing your car. The owner is always here making sure your car comes out the way it should. Get the VIP!

This place is extremely well managed, and they take pride in their work. I drive a g80 m3, and the wheels on these cars just don t get clean. The owner of the place wouldn t let me leave with ugly wheels and tried several different products. He even went out of his way and provided another service on the wheels and put me right back through the wash. If you own one of these cars you know the brakes easily ruin the wheels especially without any coating on the rims. They now look close to new, and I m sure he saved me a ton of money on re-powder coating them. Thanks to everyone at Chamos for going above and beyond.

This is the best car wash in NJ, I drive over an hour just to get my car washed. Awesome customer service and they do a very good job. Plus they give military discount. People complain about the wait, but the wait is worth it. Leaving the Carwash and seeing everyone breaking necks, looking at your car, is the best. Even when I was deployed, his mobile wash took care of my car. Keep up the awesome work.

The staff did an excellent job!! I came on a Saturday afternoon and there were more than enough employees to accommodate all the cars. Everything is done by hand and my car is spotless. The insides were also vacuumed very well and mats washed well. I really wish I took before pictures because my car was very dirty on the outside and dashboard was super dusty but now it s shiny and polished! Also, when I was about to leave, one of the workers noticed that one of my windows could be cleaned a little more so be told me to hang on and two people came over to clean it further. Excellent service and will be coming back for sure!!

This place was set on Google to open at 8AM on a Saturday. I arrived at 7:56AM & there was literally a line out to the street.That set the standard for me & so I decided to get on the line & get the VIP wash. The line moved pretty swiftly and I loved the service. My car looked amazing thereafter & I got a loyalty card for future services.I was pleased with the wash.However, I will say that after my car dried up there were some streaks on the body on both sides which were dissapointing as the wash itself looked amazing right after.My next time there I will get a regular wash to see if that will last over 2 hours with no streaks.Definitely give it a try.Note: Photo posted is BEFORE the polish. Which I believe was perfect. It had no streaks.

Brought my G82 M4 a couple weeks ago and left with dirty wheels and a stain on my hood that I had to BUFF out. When I brought it to their attention, everyone acted like they had no clue what I m talking about. Steer clearEdit: To the Owner s response: I found my receipt, I was there on Feb 1st at 4:45 PM and the car is garage kept And covered when not in use. Hasn t rained in NJ since. You guys just dropped the ball on this one. It happens, but then you lose a customer. I have no reason to lie. I always liked your work on IG, and gave you guys a shot.

I just came out of Chamos car wash, I brought my Tesla that it was very dirty outside. The guys cleaning my car told me the car was ready so I got in my car and started driving out. As I was leaving the owner stopped me because the car wasnt done up to chamos car wash standard and instructed the guys that were cleaning my car to rectify the mistake and asked me to wait. this is why I will continue to come back and not only support this small business but a fellow Venezuelan. 100% recommended! Will continue to come back and only wash my car here!Services: Polishing, Auto detailing, Car waxing

Best carwash ever! Keeps all my cars clean and I never have to worry about getting scratches on my vehicle or ruining my paint job. Have a bike? They will keep your bikes spotless as well. Chamo is a wonderful person and has a wonderful staff who keeps up with everything. They make sure the customers are satisfied! I always come back because the price I pay is worth it. I never leave with a complaint,they always address everything. 10/10 Service. Recommend everyone to ditch the automatic car washes and hop on this line, because its worth it! I tell all my clients to go to this carwash! Because no one provides a better service then them.

Hands down the BEST car wash in New Jersey. All done by hand. No other car wash takes the time or effort to make your vehicle look like it just came off the show room floor. The entire staff is very professional and courteous and treats every customer like they are family. If you have not had your vehicle cleaned there you are definitely missing out on a exceptional experience. If you go once you will never go anywhere else.

I paid for the Gold Service wash ($34). It s more than $15 dollars from the regular car wash because supposedly they wipe down your dash and vacuum. They did a decent job on the outside so I ll give them that. They also provide you with a punch card, come back nine times and the 10th wash is free. Not sure if I d come back anyway.I had cat hair on my dash when I decided I needed a car wash, and I still had cat hair on my dash after the car wash.

I was told about Chamo s from my brother for awhile now. So I visited on 1/10/21 and it was worth it. I took the VIP package and they made my car look great. Those guys took their time with my vehicle which is something I want from a car wash. The line is long but it s worth the wait when you see what the finish product looks like.

I really like this place and they do a good job but recently the line and but more so the wait time has been outrageous. I waited over an hour on two separate occasions for a simple outside wash. That being said I probably won t be coming back unless it s a week day morning. The owner should open a second location rather than lose customers. Or hire more employees, two were doing the job 4 usually do.Services: Auto detailing, Vacuuming, Auto interior vacuuming

There s not a car wash in Elizabeth that I would trust to wash my baby! Not only do they use the best products to get the job done but they also treat their customers like family. I love each and everyone of them so much and wish them continued success! Thank you Chamos for all that you do for us and taking care of our mobile babies!!

Staff is amazing & super friendly! You can see they truly take their time with your car no matter how busy they get. There s a reason the line goes around the corner, you wont be disappointedUpdate 2024- Can t stress it enough how awesome this place is. Owner is amazing and always willing to help someone he worked on my car back in 22 & today he worked on it again to get rid of a few scratches. I ll say it there s a reason the line goes around the corner at this place!

This is not a hit or miss car wash. Seriously this is the best car wash. Every time no matter the time or day or weather it gets done correct every time. Not only do they do an amazing job. The owners and the ladies inside actually care about their customers. I pass about 20 car washes on the way to this one and have big smile every time on the way home. Thanks again guys!

It's more like 3 1/2 stars. The updated price for a gold wash is $31 which I'm fine paying however I felt like the wash wasn't worth the $31. I went home directly after getting the car washed and there were still various dirt marks (from snow) and water marks on the car. One was actually quite large so I'm not sure how they missed it and it's an extremely sunny day so it's very easy to see. The inside was cleaned ok, it wasn't that dirty to begin with but I've also had better at a cheaper price. I shall continue my search for a good car wash place.

Foam was cool, just was not a fan of throwing buckets of water onto a $100k Luxury SUV. Windshield can crack. Should honestly use the hose at a stronger pressure to rinse cars. Prices for just a wash was pretty cheap. Less than $20. Tire Shine for $5 is high.

I needed to get my car washed and decided to go to Chamo s. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly employee who asked what car wash service would I like, I decided on the VIP.Each employee was very conscientious and took pride in their work. After the wash and the careful care to clean the inside of the car, it was time for a leather conditioner for my chairs and external wax. While the gentleman was taking care of that, the owner passed by and noticed some marks on my car from someone who sideswiped me. Without hesitation, he went over examined it and told me, I can get that out for you! I was totally shocked because I thought those markings were there to stay. I am so happy to say he was a man of his word- there is no sign of anything on my car.Now that is customer service and attention to detail. Chamo s will now be the only car wash I visit and I highly suggest you do the same!Services: Scratch removal, Auto detailing, Auto interior vacuuming, Car waxing

This is my 3rd month getting my car serviced at Chamo s. I have to say it s been the most pleasant and professional experience I ve been a part of when it comes to the car wash industry. Chamo and his staff provide a unique service that I have not found any where else in New Jersey. It almost feels like I know staff personally. Best quality for the best price. GET THE VIP WASH WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!!!
