Russell Speeder’s Car Wash

So nice to be able to keep my truck clean of the salt they put down on the roads during winter. Never to long of a line and awesome service. You get what you pay for when it comes to vehicle maintenance and the coupons keep me coming back.

Top customer service and great work.

For a car wash but does a hand wash and a hand dry, vacuuming and wiping down the inside this place is an absolute bargain for what is now $ 18. Go early in the morning and you’re sure to get right through. The staff is extremely friendly and takes wonderful care of your car. They should do a subscription for carwashes based on a flat fee for so many a month!

Not a good car wash anymore. First very pushy sales tactics. As the costs go up, the quality goes down. Not a attentive personalized service. If you go up the street across from McDonalds– much cheaper and better job.

So I got the carnuba gold for 30 bucks and my gf got the ultimate, and I swear I can see no difference. They did an ok job. There was a lot of dirt and hair on my floor still. So I just don’t think the price matches the quality of service. Id probably go back, but I’d probably opt for the cheaper jobs next time.

DON’T BE FOOLED by the smiles & «hellos» …these people don’t understand Customer Service. Beyond disappointing and when I asked management TWICE to call me to discuss my dissatisfaction, no returned phone call. Since opening its servicing is deteriorating… a little less effort every time.
Took my car for an interior detailing and the result was beyond poor. They were quick to charge me the full $ 300 cost of a full detail, which I did not ask for, nor want. I had to get a second detailing by a competitor to complete the job.
All the marketing & billboards in the world won’t mask inferior service. I will be going up the road to another car wash rather than doing business with these guys.

This is the absolute best car wash in Connecticut. Always excellent service and professionalism like no other. I have never been disappointed after getting my car washed and interior cleaned at this location. I even drive out of my way because I know how good of a job they do! 5 Stars!

Worth the drive. Reasonable price $ 30 for full interior-​exterior wash with extras. The staff are exceptionally friendly. Will be my new go to! Don’t let the line put you off — Saturday line on sunny day only took 30min.

Excellent car wash, very friendly staff, always have coupons for me and even take expired coupons. Recommend highly.

Pros: Great Car wash, fast and efficient service, even when there is a long line. I like the full service wash with matts and vacuum the interior. Good coupons in the mail
CONS: On the Exterior wash lane, the air pressure is so excessive that it ripped the front license plate off of my Pathfinder. I was pulled over in Norfolk for missing plate, I didn’t even realize it was gone. Had to fork over $ 110 for new set of plates and an agonizing trip to the DMV. This was in 2012. Now I take my lexus to the exterior wash on a warm April day in 2015, and the vanity around the front plate gets ripped and bent. BEWARE of this problem. I have mentioned this to the lady on duty and NOTHING has been done.

My first choice was Simoniz in West Hartford but they couldn’t fit me in until Tuesday so I decided to try Russell Speeder’s out instead.
It happened to be one of the first warm days of spring and everyone in Avon was out getting their car washed. I’m not sure if was because they were so busy but given their stella reviews I expected more attention to detail.
I think next time I’ll wait for Simoniz.

The best place EVER! I’ve been coming here for a little over a year now and I’ve never been disappointed they are so good at what they do! I wish they were a little closer but so worth the drive! The staff is so friendly and funny! I’m really surprised on how anyone could not love them?! The prices are decent, not bad at all! They always do an amazing job from a regular wash to interior. I recommend them to everyone I know! :)

Car wash? Yes. Car spa? Even better.
As much as I love washing my car by hand, when the temperature drops I have a habit of pushing the limits of «playing with water» and I end up getting sick.
In a spirited attempt at remaining healthy this winter (spoiler alert: already failed) my trip back up to CT was met with a slight detour to wash off the New York City that so enthusiastically bonds with my car when I drive in less than optimal weather.
Armed with a coupon from my dad, I got the $ 22 wash for $ 18, which cleaned the Lex in and out, with the added bonus of a layer of polish.
As I have discovered with other full service car washes, there are three common flaws:
–They use 2 microfiber towels, keeps me happy. Then they reach into the abyss and pull out a towel that resembles a brillo pad to «finish it off» and I must intervene before my clear coat is completely dissolved.
–They slather delightful looking tire shine… so much so that the moment you drive away, the overkill flies off the tires and turns into a set of greasy spots on your once clean paint.
–They spray a cleaner on the seats and dash like a bronzed gentleman oiling up on the coast of the Mediterranean… and it stays on my hands, feels weird, and creates an annoyingly frictionless sitting environment.
Fortunately, none of these were issues here. They used microfiber everything, were meticulous about not missing any areas, and the interior was free of that layer of «cleaning product».
It’s not the cheapest option for a car wash, but definitely worth it a few times a month during the winter season to wash off the garbage and not worry about the paint.

I had driven through a snowy muddy mess at work and the right side of my car was spotted like a leopard. The time was right for me to make my first visit to the enormous Russell Speeders Car Wash. Its in the Walmart Plaza on Rt 44 in Avon. It was a bit tricky for a novice like me to figure out. It has 2 approach lanes, one on the left for detail, and exterior/​interior service options, and one on the right for exterior only options (there are THREE of them). There are some small signs but not at the entrance.
I went to the right lane because I just wanted an exterior wash. The lower option is a wash only, and you can add on hubcaps, undercarriage, and wax for a few bucks more. I paid $ 10.99 for the middle option (no wax).
As I waited in what looked like a pretty long line, I noticed the line was moving at a fairly fast pace. A sales rep came over, I placed my order, she swiped my credit card, and before I knew it, I was entering the car wash.
Everything went well, no problems, and the car looks great.
One word of caution, be careful when you exit and DON’T take the first left out of the lot although it looks like an exit. It will put you right back into the carwash lanes

As I approached the greeter I asked for the most comprehensive was I could get within my 40min time frame. He suggested the $ 46 xtra shine hand wax. I sat outside and watched as it started out with 2 individual working on the car down to one who was dragging his feet then disappeared. 10min before they returned to pay attention to my car again. After my 40min wait I asked the girl indoors if I was all set, her reply «I have no clue, I was in back on the computer not outside with the cars» after asking her to go Check for me she came back and informed me 5 more minutes. I waited the additional 10 and walked outside to get my car. I don’t see how spraying speed shine out of an aerosol can constitutes a hand wax. The job was shoddy to say the least. I would have complained yet I was already late. When I arrived home later that day I had to clean the windows from all the overspray of the speed shine and then scrub my own rims because of the filth they missed… I don’t recommend any upgraded services, and hope for the best on the hand wash.
