Zips Car Wash

I love this place ! I like the fact that I don’t have to wash the car, but I get to do the fun part, drying it off and vacuuming the interior. Do I wish all the vacuums worked 100% of the time? Yes, but after a few trips you will figure out which ones to go to. I have found that most bird droppings come off in the car wash, those that do not, come off easily as you dry the car. Automatic car washes are designed to be gentle to your car’s finish, therefore will not remove bugs from the front of your car. Zips provides a large bucket with soapy water and a brush that can be used to for bug removal. This is my favorite kind of car wash !

Slightly below average — as a newcomer I saw their billboard. Should have asked neighbors. Automated system is balky. Machines seemed powerful but left lower panels dirty and didn’t remove all bird droppings from glass. Didn’t use vacs. No one outside to answer questions. Ok if you just need a quick spritz but not a real car wash. Swampy Jim

This place is awful since the new management took over. This place was always a quick car wash with semi-​working vacuums BUT the staff used to be so friendly and accommodating. If there were bugs or gunk leftover they would let you run through again giving it a quick swipe on the bumper to make sure it came off the second time.
I went to zips today and got the $ 12 wash. I still had bugs ALL over not even just the bumper and the employees response was «oh yeah that won’t come off». Really? What’s the point of a car wash if it doesn’t wash. I asked to go through again and he sent me to a bucket by the entrance/​exit (which is a poor placement) and had me brush the bugs away myself before I went through. Best part was once I was there, he ran over again telling me I was blocking the exit!
In the past I would always go to the side entrance for the second wash where it says do not enter so there was no waiting in lines, but today I was laughed/​scolded at because evidently he thinks I just can’t read signs. If you are going to change the format of how you want your customers to drive through you need to inform them. I probably won’t ever come back here unless something changes.

I have noticed huge improvements with the new owners. 5stars for what it is. A quick automated car wash with a few a la cart upgrades. The wash clubs are the best option for locals. Some vacuums are stronger than others but why complain, it’s free…

The draw of Zips to me was the free vacuum. I pull up and give it a go, even thought he suction was a little meh. It did the job, but not the best. It still beats the gas station down the street that charges $ 2 for a 1 minute vacuum.
Zip’s offers a few different purchase levels (including monthly memberships). I’d say don’t spend more than $ 5 — or as someone else suggested, just get a neighborhood kid with a water hose.
I spent $ 15 and was highly disappointed. Still had bird droppings, gunk and dried soap left on my car when I pulled out.
Decided to just leave since it seemed like no one was even working there. That’s a pro because you’re not being pestered about sales and specials — but there again Zip’s doesn’t offer detailing, hand drying or anything to be pitched about.
Even the $ 15 car wash was very quick. Zips may be good for a quick vacuum and just a simple wash. They def need a lot of work.

Because I can’t give zero stars. Don’t waste your time at this rip off — get a neighbor kid with a garden hose. They will do a better job. Brought my car there after a little road trip to Tampa. The front end & windshield were caked with bugs. This crap place could not remove the bugs. I complained and the manager on duty refused to refund my money even though he agreed the car was not clean. Told me to go to a full service hand wash place. Demanded a refund and best he offered was another trip thru the crappy machine that didn’t work before. Do not waste your money at a poor excuse of a business.

You get what you pay for. Don’t expect a $ 5 rinse and air dry to be a full $ 10 wash. Still had bird droppings on my car and bug remnants on my window. I had hoped for better but that’s why they got 3 stars.
Service is fast. Didn’t see anyone to dry and detail the car but I didn’t order it so maybe they would have come out.
Make sure you put down your antenna ahead of time. They don’t do it for you or warn you.

This place went from $ 3 to $ 5 to $ 8 with no warning and it’s impossible to get out of line if someone is behind you. Vacuum is free but not enough is given for the money.
