Prime Shine Car Wash

I am never using this car wash again! Poor location and not enough vacuum’s. Can’t justify paying $ 7 for a wash and never being able to vacuum out my car. Doesn’t make the situation any better when other customers who have experienced the same problem get out of their car and stand in the vacuum stall to hold it while their partner goes through the car wash. I am using a different car wash from now on.

Another bright, sunny day. Fourteen cars from the opening of the car wash building, wrapped around the building, extending out to Oakdale Road.
Traffic waiting to pull into the parking lot and business have the right-​hand lane of Oakdale Road backed up six cars. Maybe the employees are on a lunch break? Perhaps a wildcat strike against Prime Shine Car Wash?
Traffic waiting to get into the entrance of Prime Shine Car Wash at the left hand-​turn lane at the stop light of south-​bound Oakdale Road is backed up to Merle Avenue (perhaps 110 – 120 feet?).
Maybe all the employees (but the one seen talking with the drivers of cars waiting to get in to the car wash) decided to go on break, all at the same time.
Took another 15 minutes to get into the car wash, and even then, the barely sprayed the front of the car with their smashed-​insect solvent.
When the service gets this slow, have opposite-​direction lanes of backed-​up traffic waiting to get into the car wash is begging for someone to get impatient, making an accident very likely.
You can bet that when there is one, I’m going to offer this and the other 17 other photos taken today and previous days (when employees caused the car wash to sit idle, thus stopping two lanes of opposite-​direction traffic at a very busy intersection) to the attorneys representing motorists involved in a collision.
Note to Prime Shine Car Wash: my photos are ALL backed up.

This morning on a whim I took my husband’s truck to get washed and prettied-​up. I knew I would be taking his truck to get the flat tire fixed which was now in the bed of the truck. It wasn’t till I saw the lady’s face that I made the connection… I can’t wash my truck with stuff in the bed!
They were very friendly and quickly calmed my embarrassment. One of the gentlemen took the tire off the bed and set it aside. I went thru and then double-​backed, so another gentleman could put my tire back!
The chivlery and patience that was shown was not lost on me!
Great customer service! Thank you!!!

Went in yesterday. I noticed that the brushes on the left side completely missed my car. I drive back around and asked to go through again, and the girls argued with me. I had to get out & show them how it missed my car. They apologized and let me back through. 3 stars because it took them 5 minutes to decide whether or not to let me back thru, which is BS. The vacuums that are near the exit don’t suction well, and one has a broke tip. I pointed it out to them over a month ago & they have yet to fix it

I’m not easily impressed with businesses, lately; however, Prime Shine on Oakdale Road impressed me today. The vehicle in front of me had a trunk that would not close. To no avail, the employees and the owner of the vehicle relentlessly tried closing the trunk. It simply would not close. The employees applied duct tape around the entire perimeter of the trunk to prevent water leakage. I like businesses that go above and beyond to serve their customers.

So this is probably the best you will get next to a hand wash or doing it yourself. WAY Better than the gas station car washes. We opted for the monthly plan as we do commute and got the premier wash it pretty much takes everything off.
It does leave a little bit of water on the car but does take most or if all the bird poop tree flowers etc off. with the premier wash… its kinda worth it. I used to live in the bay area and even the hand washes wouldn’t take the bug and bird poop off. This is the easiest car wash ever and vacuuming yourself ensures that you can get the spots that YOU want to vacuum.
If you need your car washed more than 2x or 3x a month then the unlimited would be best for you! plus you get a 50% coupon when you sign up for the other car in the household for a 6.00 premier wash! it was awesome.
Be sure to sign up before your birthday, they do give you a free premier wash for free! :)
go to
to sign up… thats what brought me in to begin with and now im hooked!

Fast, to the point, all you need for your typical car wash. I only got the $ 7 soap &water wash. I wonder if you get any of the more intricate washes if it makes any difference? There were certain parts that were missed but that wasn’t a big deal. Just wanted my mom’s car to be clean and shiny for mothers day ^_​_​^
Also, the girls working it yesterday had to be the nicest sweetest workers within the 30 seconds I even talked to them. And this is right closeby to my house. YAAAS, I recommend here.

I would like to say that this Prime Shine location is WONDERFUL. All of the staff members are very attentive and it is especially loved by me because they are always so kind to my dog when he comes here with me. They always shower him with attention and affection and all of the workers always make sure that my boy had gotten his doggy biscuits! Yasmeen and Justin are especially wonderful in that regard. They interact with me & my dog as if we are more than customers, and that means a great deal to both of us.

$ 12 for a triple wax shine wash called the ‘Premier’. With that purchase, you get a coupon for half-​off the next wash, good for six days. There’s a basic wash, about $ 7 and another wax/​wash for $ 10.
Free vacs at all Prime-​Shine locations, but they aren’t the best out there. You get what you pay for sometimes.
My big gripe about this wash is that the soft cloth and water spray doesn’t have enough force/​pressure to remove certain unwanted things on your car, like bird doo or tree sap on your windows. Sometimes I gotta go through twice, which can be a hassle but they won’t charge for a re-​wash so that’s a tip, I suppose.
The best way to wash your car is to do it yourself, but if you’re a lazy schmo than Prime Shine can do the trick, even if it takes two washes for a clean car.

STR8 SUX! Not sure what those $ 12 I paid got me but I got waterspots in my entire ride! Their TireShine must b the special invisible kind, cuz I didn’t c it. And eventho the brushes beat the crap outta my truck I still could find residue of flies I killed on I-​5. DO NOT GO HERE EVA!!!
