Pirate’s Cove Full Service Car Wash

Pirates Cove always takes a long time to do a subpar job. You would think that because they’re taking a long time your car would come out clean. Half assed vacuum job, shitty wipe down on the outside of my car (super streaky), and they stuck a small plain sticker on the inside of my windshield? I had to scrape it out and use adhesive remover. Better off washing my car by hand.

Does not deserve any stars! Inconsistent, sloppy work! We have been a customer for several years. Since the new owner/​management took over it has drastically declined. Poor service, poor attitudes! Would not recommend to anyone! When I have tried to address my concerns with employees or management they just giggle.
DO NOT GI TO PIRATES COVE!

They changed the pricing policy for using coupons. Tacked on an extra dollar for «small suv». They told me its «always» been like that. But it hasn’t. For 2 years it hasn’t. So if you have a coupon for free wash that’s «max value» 13.99 they will still charge a buck if you have a «small suv» because it’s 14.99. Still a great deal. This is true even if you go in on Tuesday and Wednesday when the wash is only $ 7 (half price) without a coupon. They say using the coupon doesn’t allow you to get the $ 7 pricing. You still pay 14.99 on those days.

I always come here for half price Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s. They always do an awesome job and today they had live music!

This place is incredibly overpriced. They take a long time and they don’t get the cars clean. They’ve changed management several times over the years and it has gone downhill. The last time I took my car there, the doors still had mud on them, the inside was still dusty, and they didn’t vacuum the back well enough to get three pinecone needles off empty backseat.
Don’t waste your money.

Slow and poor work.
They take forever, scratched my new car and did not take responsibility. Go to 494 or Atascocita.

Ok so I went here for the first time to get my very very dirty cookie crumb and M&M infested car clean and I was very pleased with the initial service OUTSIDE. I went on Tuesday morning right after 8 I was greeted by a young lady who gave me options for the wash and gave me an estimated time to have my car back and I got my car back with the time she gave me. I was very pleased with the condition of the inside of my car I got a good job. Everyone there seems to work so hard and gets the job done to move on to the next. HOWEVER the ONLY ONLY reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is due to the receptionist inside, after I got my ticket to go in to pay the girl at the register literally blinked at me for a whole 5 seconds. She did not greet me or ask how could she help or anything just gave me eyeballs. Hey hun, I work in customer service and if there is one thing you can learn if you read reviews when someone walks into your establishment you greet them and see what you can do to cater to them … m’kay. Because you were so impersonal I wont be going back there to spend my money. I cant remember her name but it starts with a K. If you want a decent detail you will get it but do not expect much from the people inside.

Long wait, not too awesome-​but acceptable detail. Paid $ 85 for a detailing, my car was bad. But it looked much better than before-​just not amazing.
Pretty cheap for a seat shampoo, and detail.
Plenty of AC seating inside, and everyone spoke English. Attendants were kind.

I got my seats cleaned to remove stains and I checked them before I left and they were great! Then about a week later all the stains appeared back even worse. Never using them again, they ruined my seats and do not take time to make sure the car is spotless!

This place does not pay attention to detail what so ever … The only time you get close to what you pay for us on their half price days … And then you still have to go home and finish the job … AWFUL

Hands down the best car wash in the Kingwood area, they have this down to a science and the friendliness of the staff is incomparable, I will certainly be coming back!

We were customers of Pirates Cove for a long time primarily because they did a good job on your car — and they still do. The wait was generally long and their prices were generally high, but they did a good job on our cars. We finally just got enough of having to endure FOX News inside or waiting outside in the heat and listening to blaring rock music. After many complaints to the management, we have finally voted with our feet. We found a less expensive alternative down on Loop 494 that does a great job, and doesn’t force us to listen to FOXNews or blaring rock music. They have two TVs inside which are normally tuned to different channels so you have a choice.

I’ve been living in the area for 4 years now and been using pirates cove for so long I have to say I am impressed with how well they take care of my car. I go in every Wednesday because it’s half off day to get my car washed. Love this place.

For the past 3 years I have had an unlimited wash club with Pirate’s Cove and I come a few times a week with my 2 vehicles. They do an excellent job and have multiple people verify the cleanliness before you are called to your vehicle. I still highly recommend them after 3 years.

I noticed this place soon after we moved to Kingwood as a very busy carwash so i assumed they were amazing. I usually only go on occasion and try to use the monday coupon. Well the last few times i went i noticed it was a pretty crappy job and then i went on Monday and it was a REALLY crappy job! I got the Captain pkg (normally $ 30) with my half off coupon and they kept the car for about 25 min. I had asked as soon as I pulled if they could please vacuum and wipe out the gear shifter. lady said no problem. Great! right? Well no because after I gave the guy a tip and sat in my car i noticed the cup holders werent clean neither was the gear shifter and the when i got home i saw that the front end was filthy. I did ask him to come back and wipe out the gear shifter which he did nicely but come on. i think i will stop giving into the hype of this place and find somewhere else to wash my car.

Great job with my detail!!! I got my carpets, seats, and everything detailed for $ 100 from the regular $ 115!!! What a great deal and they made my car look and smell new. I definitely will be back here to get my other cars detailed. Quality service and great attention to detail!

Fast, but too expensive. It used to be you could use the $ 4 off coupon on the First Mate (@$ 21). Now they won’t accept that coup.
The value the Captain less $ 4 is not worth the value.
I’ll be looking for a new car wash.

Best carwash around. It’s the only one I go to, just wish they put gas in too

Went to get my car washed because my family always recommends this place. I’ve been here once before and they had done a good job. This time though, it was horrible! Once i got home i had to do more cleaning to my car. I was not happy. I will never be back. Next time i’ll spend the 100 bucks at the dealership and get it done right.

Love this place! Only place I will get my car washed at. They always do a great job inside and out! Staff is nice, service is not the quikest but doesn’t bother me as it is efficient service!
Waiting area is nice and clean also. Although it can get noisy. Go on tuesdays and wednesdays its ½ price.
