Platinum Hand Car Wash

Another great truck wash today! :) so happy to have all the salt & grime off the truck!

Have brought my car here 4 times now. Always very friendly and professional. Did great job and longest I was there was 15 min. If there is something I think can be done better, i just point it out and they are happy to redo it. I have recommended it to many people.

2^nd time coming here and now I’m with my kids! Didn’t even realize they had a chalk board here the first time but my kids sure did today and kept them occupied! Thank you!!! Their service is awesome. From the gentleman greeting you down to the man sending you on your way. I think I had one time when hey missed something and when I told them they immediately fixed it, happily. I appreciate that

Best hand car wash in town! I have 2 kids under 4 and my car miraculously ends up spotless. Every time I’ve been there, the owner personally inspects my car and asks her staff to fix anything they miss. They also have a family friendly waiting room which is great if you have little ones!

First time I went there they did awesome job. The second time I went there it was on Lady’s day special $ 3.00 off, they didn’t did that good the car was dirty in some areas. They give me one different floor mates!!!

Very nice people, convenient for me location wise. I was very excited to find a hand wash, but sadly disappointed with the wash itself. The car is still dirty in many different areas and windows are smeared.

This place is great! I’ve gone three times and I have left very happy with my car wash each time! I even got my boyfriend to start going there! He loves it too! I normally do the $ 21 car wash (I don’t go as often as I should so that’s why I do that car wash). Everyone who works there is super friendly! Doubt I’ll be going somewhere else anytime soon! :)

I wanted to like this place since it had changed hands and the new owner seemed lovely. My car was done pretty quickly and I soon understood why. Instead of inviting me to check it over, the car was pulled into the alley, was running and the doors were open expecting my friend and I to hop in and drive off into the sun. We did exactly this and quickly noticed how dirty and waterspotted the dahboard was. As the sun poured into the car it showed how water spotted the front windshield was, how dirty the inside of the door where the speakers are was left. The side view mirror sparkled from the dust and dirt left on it. My floor pads were clean! That’s the best thing I can say. I paid $ 21 to drive off in one of the worst car washes I have ever had. I did call the owner and she asked me to bring the car back so they could redo it. My thinking was if you can’t get it right the first time, why do I want to spend more of my time in your place. I will never return to this car wash and would caution others about using it.

Since my last review from Oct 2013 some things have changed for the better, mainly the car wash is under new management/​ownership. The husband and wife team of Joe & Julie have done an amazing job since taking over earlier this year. You can tell the passion they have for their business and it definitely shows with great work done by their motivated staff! The car was packages haven’t changed much, and they still have a fantastic «early bird» special!

I have gone to this place twice now. I initially chose it because of its proximity to where I live and work, and I wanted a new place that would hand wash my car. I have been very satisfied with their work up to date.
There are three tiers of the car wash. I started off with the middle tier, which was only $ 13.00 I believe. The guys did a great job and the car looked great when they were finished. As another reviewer stated, this is not a place that will be an in-​and-​out car wash, especially if you want any of the higher tier washes. They seem to spend a lot of time gently hosing down the car, washing it, drying it and applying the usual coatings for the tires and windows.
I was pleased with the first wash, so I decided to go back and try out their platinum service for $ 21. Car looks phenomenal afterwards.
I’ve had some interesting chats with the owner and other customers in there while waiting, but I find it more entertaining sometimes to watch them work.
They work hard. The price is right for the level of work they do. My only criticism would be that after driving away, I do get some water streaks from around the license plate and the mirrors that I think should be blown dry more diligently.
When spring is over, I will probably clay and wax my car and have it detailed there. Pictures uploaded!
EDIT: Subsequent to writing this review, I noticed a series of swirl marks and some superficial scratches on my car. I inspected this car head to toe when I first picked it up from the Tesla center, and it did have some swirls in it. However, the number of swirls increased after my first two washes at this place. I know for a fact that they were not there before. These scratches and swirls are noticed up close and in bright light. They did rinse the car and foam the car before washing, and they appeared to be using a two bucket method. Nevertheless, new swirls and scratches. I’m taking off a star for this since the service was great and the interior was spotless.
I will probably be able to polish and seal most of the swirls, but some of these scratches may need a coarser polish. I don’t mind at all washing my own car in the spring, summer and fall, but you really have to be careful when someone else is handwashing your car. Handwashing is no guarantee that it will be any better than the rest.

friendly staff and management. Good and fair price and they do a very thorough job. It takes a little bit of time but that is because they do the job the right way. Very satisfied with the service they provide.

Terrible. Outside they advertise a $ 10 early bird. I go inside to find out its actually $ 13. After paying I had noticed there was only 1 person actually washing the car and only 3ppl in the shop. They did a terrible job. The inside looked virtually untouched. The exterior looked like it was wiped down with a dry dirty sock. Still salt and stuff in it. Finally they didn’t even dry it. I ended up taking it to another car wash right after. I’m writing this review while my car is being washed 100 times better for $ 8 only.

Love their work! They really do a great job, very professional and clean. I got an interior and exterior detail and absolutely loved the outcome. My car looks and smells brand new! They do a great job and have such friendly staff. Definitely will be going back!

This is, by far, the best car wash I’ve ever been to of its type. They do not rush your car through and take a ton of time working on it. They have a nice waiting room and everyone is very professional and clean.
A word of warning: do NOT go there if you need a quicky ten minute wash. Expect to wait a while even if you’re the only car and certainly if there are cars ahead of you. It’s definitely worth the wait but can be frustrating if you’re on a schedule. That said, you can probably ask them to do a quicker clean, I just never have.

The worst hand car wash in Elmwood Park, Il they are not professionals go somewhere else. They do not dry thoroughly or even wash your car good enough. It is not worth $ 13. Take your car somewhere else. The owner and workers are lazy.

this is one of the cleanest, most professional places i have seen yet. the owner is amazing and really knows how to put customers first. there is no other hand car wash out there like this one. i took my car for a full detail and it only cost $ 150 for my huge suburban! when i say it was in impeccable shape when i picked it up i mean it. they also remodeled the place so its great to just sit and watch t. v on their plasma. just try it once and you’ll be hooked!

I absolutely love this place and cannot believe we were driving all the way to Hinsdale to have Fuller’s machines wash our cars! My husband found this place where the entire wash is done by hand. The owner, John is friendly and sweet and the people there all seem to be from the neighborhood and like to talk about their cars, etc. I think $ 16 to wash my SUV is a bargain, especially when it is perfectly dry at the end and they take such care with the whole process (and the place is less than a mile from my house).
