SeCar Auto Wash, Inc

Great car wash in a great location. The staff is friendly and does an awesome job. The manager, Stanley Robinson, was so friendly and threw in a tire cleaning when I realized I forgot to pay for it when I checked out. Definitely recommend!

The only place I need to go to get my truck looking good as new. The attendant was very polite and suggests the wash and detail work you need at a reasonable price. This wash may be a bit more than other places, but the few extra dollars are well worth it at SeCar.

Best car wash in the area! They always do a great job with my car. I’ve been coming here for over 15 years and service is top notch.

I have been coming to this car wash for years now for good reason– the staff is personable, they do an excellent job, and it’s all done for a reasonable price. Stanley makes it feel like a mom and pop shop– I’m sure many people come through their business but he still recognizes and welcomes back repeat customers… It’s my neighborhood car wash and I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Poor management and customer service but a decent wash. Prices are okay. They are supposed to be open until 6pm on weekdays but more often than not they close 30 min to an hour early. If you try to go after work then you will be out of luck. Better options in the area for sure.

These guys do a freaking phenomenal job.
I came here on a bit of a whim when my car was looking somewhat rough after a few long drives. Needless to say, this place was worth every penny. Not only did my car come out looking immaculate — and I really mean that — but they even managed to fix a wax problem on part of my car and get my wheels spotless (something I struggle with manually all the time). In fact, when they thought my wheels weren’t shiny enough, they ran it through the entire process again just to make sure everything was perfect.
The prices here can be a bit high, but there seem to be a lot of discounts available depending on your situation, so I’d look them up before going. I’d personally argue it was 100% worth the money.

Best car wash in NOVA! I brought my 1 month old CRV there this weekend. I’ve been parking it at my new house and the driveway happens to have a maple tree over it. I knew it had been getting sap on it – what I didn’t know was how bad the sap had stained my paint job. The car went through and was in the process of being dried. Stanley the manager was inspecting all the cars getting dried for quality control. When he got to mine he called me over and showed me that the stains were not out. He drove it back around, hand washed it, and sent it back through. The second time through it was better, but still not completely off. He drove it around for a third time and spent about 15 minutes hand scrubbing the sap stains. After some bug and tar remover and elbow grease, he got all the stains off the car. He sent it through a third time and I got my CRV looking new again. This was all done without prompting from me. He also didn’t charge us anything extra. He told me he’s not letting one dirty car through on his watch. Thanks a bunch Stanley for your extra care and work. You’ve just found a loyal SeCar customer for as long as I live in the area!

The best carwash service in the area. I always get my SUV cleaned here and leave happy. They always do a great job checking me in and making sure my car is nice and clean. The manager comes out to make sure everything is good and does a quality check. A+ service thanks SeCar !

I live right down the street and had been using these guys for some time on both my wife and my cars with little issue. Not the best wash but not terrible, mostly used because it was close. Little expensive. 25 bucks. That all stopped a few months ago when leaving I noticed a 2 – 3 inch deep cut/​scratch in my G35’s navigation screen. I am a car guy and detail my interior every month or so to get a deep clean and never saw this nor did I see it previously in the day. When I brought it up the one manager just muttered and said that it could’t have been the cleaning and walked away. Then the guy in the funny suit came and started yelling. He claimed that there is no possible way the interior wipe down could have done it. I explained all it would take is someone dropping a rag in the loose gravel nearby and wiping the screen and it would put the deep cut in it. He became livid and told me to take him to court if I wanted it resolved. Next thing I know hes walking back out and is telling me to go talk to the police who are in the line. I talk to the officer for a few minutes and he said he couldn’t do anything but that I could take them to small claims court. Not exactly what I want to take a day off to do. I am not an irate or unreasonable person and just asked basic questions like what do you do in this situation nor am I interested in scamming a company to fix my navigation, I really don’t have time. Anyway, long story short, I will never go here again and I tell all my friends to avoid them at all costs. If you have a decent car and would like to keep it that way, I would avoid this place. The sonic car wash on 7 in Falls church has now received my business and I recently used them for a full interior/​exterior detail which was way more thorough than I expected for 80 bucks (even steam cleaned the seats!). And no I am not paid by them nor have any affiliation other than a satisfied customer.

They do not do a good job cleaning. Everything is just rushed. There were spots of dirt all around the car and windows that they missed.

This is the place I always go to get car washed. I have been to several other places in Falls Church and Arlington and the detail isn’t as good. I always get the Manager’s Special, and my car is always cleaner when I leave. They take their time wiping down the car, once it’s been washed. I have done detail cleaning in the past and they were good.

I visited SeCar Auto Wash this past Saturday and cannot say enough good things about the service I received. There was a very long line at the end of what I’m sure was a very long day for the entire crew, and yet I was still greeted with joy and good humor by the manager, Stanley. He went out of his way to ensure excellent service, even running up to the front of the house to personally wash my rubber mats as an added treat, while still managing the intake at the back. It’s so rare these days for someone in the service industry to go out of their way to make their customers happy, which made it easy to give Stanley and his team 5 stars. I’ll definitely be back!

It was my first time at the car wash, and without being given a menu, when the attendant came to take my order I asked for just an exterior with under carriage wash. It turned out to be $ 24.95 which is rather pricy for the service that was received, and I later found out there there was a cheaper package which covered what I had asked for. Maybe they’re tailored more for detailing work, but I was just disappointed that they took advantage of me and signed me up for the more expensive package.

Been going here for two years. Always do a nice job and pricing isn’t too bad. Always leave here smiling

This place are completely completely dishonest, and swindler. I was there for engine wash and car wash in last week for $ 50 bill, but they broken my hood holder and just left inside my car ! Even I seen that moment and I know which employ was. When I told to the manager of duty, he just said: Already broken ! That is it ! (Mr. Manager, next time you can just cheek your security camera and do more respect for all your customer. Point is not about the money. Hood holder is so cheep, just $ 15, but important things is customer service and customer care, this is a so expensive, and you lost this money.

It had been way too long since my car had an interior/​exterior cleaning so I decided to bring it to SeCar Auto Wash since Diana D. mentioned that they did a really good job last time.
Okay so the guy taking the orders was not the most friendly or polite person but the service people were friendly and did a great job. I appreciate the time they put in to vacuum my car thoroughly. They even recovered some long lost travel coffee mugs while vacuuming under my seats! Bonus!
The process was so fast that I was almost afraid that it wasn’t done properly… but I was pleasantly surprised as I saw my car roll out, towel dried, and wiped down. I did make sure that I was paying attention as soon as my car rolled out of the washing area so that I could where they parked as well as made sure they did everything that I paid them to do. I had nothing to worry about… in just a few minutes, my tires were so shiny and the rest of my car was sparkling clean inside and out all for about $ 20.

I was a regular costumer with a membership. I would go at least 3 times a month. This particular day it had my daughter with me so I didn’t stand and watch the whole process. When I got home and opened the trunk my backpack was gone!!! I had also a pair of Beats headphones and they were gone also. I went back right away and they said their security cameras weren’t working and acted completely RUDE! He was calling me a liar after we’ve been members for almost a year! Jesus they even took my metro card! Who does that! Needles to say I cancelled my membership and will never step foot there ever again! BE WARE !!

Can I give less than one star? All was well until my A/​C vents were broken off during a cleaning and the manager was extremely disrespectful about it. Said his guys would never do that and walked away in the middle of our convo. Definitely the way two-​car, weekly customer should be treated.

They broke a bunch of a/​c vents on my car and then would not own up to it. Brand new BMW. Manager said his people didn’t do it; he just kept repeating that he trained them not to clean a/​c vents. I don’t know how he could know with such certainty that no one did it, when he has 30 or so illegal immigrants crawling all over the place and meanwhile he’s sitting inside. Must be talented.
STAY AWAY.

Really a 4.5 star… but since we don’t have ½s, I rounded up.
This is my go-​to-​place for washing my car — as most others have indicated, you get a get a decent car-​wash-​ROI here. You can expect to have it vaccummed (they’ve even done my trunk… cat litter… don’t ask), prewashed, the windows cleaned and hand dried for $ 20 or less. Sometimes they have specials. I’ve never asked to not have something done so i’m not sure how that would work out. As I’m sure car washes have high-​turn-​over, there is only one face that I’ve seen consistently over the years –I’m not sure if he is a manger or owner but he is always there, always friendly and provides good customer service. As for the cashier, I’ve seen many different faces here, some are ok and you can tell that the others just want to get the day over with. You can also purchase air freshener, key chains, etc. for fairly reasonable prices near the cashier station.
It does get quite busy here so you will get better service if you come when it is not busy. As a final point, and to be completely honest I have to tell you that you should be out front (not waiting in the air conditioning!) and WATCHING your vehicle because when the window cleaning and hand drying is finished THEY WILL JUST WALK AWAY FROM YOUR VEHICLE… keys in ignition –often running, air conditioning on, etc. Sometimes they close the door and sometimes they don’t. Once I didn’t pay attention during a busy time and they parked my car next door in the 711 lot… it had to be over there at least 15 minutes before I noticed. I only noticed because a customer that arrived about 10 minutes after I did got up to go get his vehicle when it was ready.
