Arthur’s Pro Auto Care

arthur’s is out of business!!!

Phenomenal job & great service. They’re quick but do an excellent job washing inside and out. Prices are good for hand wash and excellent attention to detail. I wouldn’t take my car to any other car wash/​detailing in Philly– the guys really care and do a great job.

I’ve tried a few different places around the city and never had such a positive experience with a detailing shop. Car interior was in BAD shape — in one weekend my son and his friends managed to get vomit, silly putty and gatorade into the upholstery (not all at once), on top of many months of more standard grime from the long winter. I needed the car cleaned very thoroughly and very quickly. Cal and his guys were great — did the job in less than the time they normally take, got it cleaner than anyplace I’ve taken it in the past, and were really friendly and easy to deal with. A very good experience for a service that’s usually a hassle at best.
One note: I personally don’t like the smell of air freshener and the staff at Arthur’s are believers. It took me awhile to find all the little piney-​scented paper squares they’d scattered beneath the seats. Next time I’ll just let them know in advance that I’d rather go without that last touch.

The staff at Arthur’s were very personable and did a fabulous job on the exterior detail of my car. Another reviewer commented that they were careful and thorough and I have to agree! I had a lot of scratches and they went over every one before they started. Needless to say, after a machine wax with 2 coats, it looks like a new car (and no scratches!). I didn’t get an interior detail (just a vacuum) but will try that next time!

These guys are great. Cal was really nice and everyone was very careful and thorough. They have other way nicer cars in there so I felt comfortable with them working on my baby. Also, the lounge is sweet to pass the time — comfortable couches, car magazines, tv, hot coffee or tea and cold water. When I’m ready for a full detail, I’ll be taking it either here or the Audi shop. I don’t think I would trust any of the other car wash places in Philly to do it well.

I’m new to Philly and was looking for a carwash. I found APC on Unilocal.They do have an appointment form on their website but I called in to see if they could take a drive-​in. Over the phone they were nice and I was told to come on by. This was my first carwash with them. The lounge is really nice and clean — plenty of magazines, TV, Wifi and coffee. I got the wand wash on my super-​firth SUV. It was $ 30 and took only about 20 minutes. They really did a great job! The body, tires, windows and all the exterior trim shined! On the inside, I was impressed that they cleaned all of those little nooks and crannies in the dash and console. The carpet was completely vacuumed, even under the floor mats. Cal, the owner was very personable and he really takes pride in APC and the quality of work. It’s well worth the few extra bucks for a wash here.

I don’t use these guys that much (for this reason). I think the workers rush the job to get you out the door. Most of the time the wheels are still dirty and water spots are left. I’d say go here if you need a quick sub par hand wash. Go to executive auto salon on Ben Franklin parkway if you want a top notch hand wash.

After my first time here I was sold and keep coming back. The owners are very personable, kind and respectful. The place itself is very clean and they have an office area or lounge where you can wait for your car to get washed, equipped with comfortable couch, water cooler, coffee machine, TV and wi-​fi.
The car wash itself is fully hand wash and even the basic wash for $ 25 is very detailed. They remove all carpets and vacuum.
This is no $ 15 cheap car wash, but for $ 25 you get even more than what you pay for.
I highly recommend this car wash.

I’ve driven by Arthur’s Pro Car Wash and seen their sign many times on 23^rd street and always wanted to come in. I’m so glad that today I decided to come here. They have a nicely air conditioned lounge with comfy leather couches (i’m sure they are expensive) with a Keurig Coffe Machine, fridge with bottle water, flat screen TV up on the wall (playing one of my favorite shows — Pawn Stars!!) with a huge assortment of magazines, as well as FREE WIFI so I can get work done. They charge 25 dollars for a hand car wash and 30 dollars for a hand SUV wash. They also offer more detailing services such as waxing and full detailing work. They even have unlimited car wash packages. My favorite part of my experience other than the amazing lounge is that unlike other car wash places, they cleaned/​vacuumed under my floor mats which most places usually are too lazy to do and is very frustrating. This is a good indicator to me that they pay attention to details and is why I will be bringing my cars here from now on. I highly recommend Arthur’s Pro Auto Care to all my fellow Unilocalers. I brought my Acura MDX SUV here and I couldn’t be happier.

and most importantly:
FULL HAND CAR WASH… i.e. no machine bristles that leave swirls on your paint. From a car junkie, this is a huge deal for the resale value of your car. Don’t go to somewhere that is 5 dollars cheaper that uses machine bristles. No matter how soft their machine cloths are, they will leave a swirl. Treat your car right and you’ll get the most money out of it when it comes to sell it.
They even have instagram with great pics:
