Big Daddy’s Car Wash

This place is hit or miss, looks like a quick turn around on car washers probably mostly paid under the table. Anyways on to the service, I am very, very picky to who I let touch my car for certain reasons. I have chosen different packages over the few times that I have gone and I would say the prices are right on par. Cant really complain much about the car wash since its automatic anyway. On several occasions I’ve had to get a stern with the crew working the front. I did not want the inside of car touched just wanted the outside done so I could get the salt of from the winter. The poor kid in front was in such a hurry and eager to vacuum my car that he decided to bang on my windows like I was some kind of buffoon. Not to mention I had not even chosen a package yet, who knows if I might of left but it would of been nice to have a free vacuum. Once again I will state its hit or miss I have received great service and sometimes not so great. I get it the staff probably gets into robot mode when washing and cleaning but tend to dismiss or forget specific instructions (not like I was making them do more work) in fact I was still gonna pay for the service I just didn’t want tire shine on my tires and this is the same anywhere I go. Warning: Tire shine rots your tires and creates slippage when cornering. I must say though I let them do their thing on a few occasions and car came out immaculate. So I rated this place with 3 stars since I am ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ split with coming here. Would I recommend someone to come here ehhh maybe.

I always go there for a carwash, this time I went for an Interior Detail Cleaning, they are awesome, they left my car like new and smelling sooo sooo good! Recommend!

I almost feel guilty leaving such a good review because if all of the terrible reviews are accurate, then I guess my many years of going there without much incident is an anomaly, a fluke, and that I’m misleading readers. This would be very unusual because everything bad happens to me. Something is wrong with everything I buy, everything I try to do, my days are filled with contacting managers, corporate offices, congressman, etc. because nothing goes right. People are lazy, miserable, selfish, decieptful, stupid pieces of s**t, and apparently, I have a particularly strong magnetic field that draws these wastes of flesh into the black hole that is my life. Must I add that I never win anything, ever. I digress.
So I’ve been going to this place for oil changes and car washes on and off since 2001, but religiously for the past 6 years. Sure, they’ll give me suggestions on what I may want to have looked at, and if they offer the service, but Ive never found them overly pushy. What’s more, most of the time they are totally correct about things I’ve neglected, (power steering fluid, trans fluid, brake fluid, tires, battery, a belt). I know because I would ask my mechanic or research online and check things myself. I’m not lucky, but I’m super handy and mechanically inclined. Many times they do little things at no charge. Change any light bulbs or wipers even though I didn’t buy them there, replace the cap /​washer on the oil pan, and refasten the plastic under carriage thingy when it comes lose and drags on the street as to announce to the world when I’m coming and going. All in all, I haven’t had any problems with fluid changes or any other service I’ve had done there.
I also find the oil change guys to be super friendly and dare I say even professional. Ive never been given an attitude over the past 6 years. And the female manager that has been there for years has always been incredible sweet. She never forgets anything I tell her. She’ll remember my kids names, when I came in not feeling well, when I had a bad day, when I had a good day (rare) etc. I’m very comfortable with the oil change/​cashier employees.
The only crappy thing for me is the illegals working the car wash. They drool and just stare at me while whispering to each other. I hate it, so I hide inside the entire time and come out last minute as to limit the duration of gawking.
So I’m trying to think of bad experiences. Once they didn’t top everything off, and once the car dryer guy stepped in water and oil then stepped on my light grey interior leaving a crazy oil footprint. I lost it there. Omg. They are supposed to put a rag down before stepping in your car.
As you can see, for at least 6 years, I’m claiming to have had nothing but good experiences at this place. Maybe I don’t get taken advantage of because I am not shy, because I take command, because I do research, or perhaps it’s because I have a bad temper that men can sense from a mile away, even when I’m at my happiest. Yeah, that’s probably it…
Welp, I’m guarantee you I’m being honest because as a business owner, I take Unilocal reviews very seriously. Unilocal is not friendly to businesses, believe me. Unilocal operates like a social media mafia. They employ marketing henchmen who stalk, harass, threaten and lie to biz owners. If these Unilocal associates aren’t successful at breaking your businesses proverbial knee caps, then their capo’s will step in to cut off your businesses blood supply by diverting and manipulating traffic.
Advice: Take reviews seriously when you write them and not so seriously when you read them! (Unless it’s mine of course!).

Overfilled my car by a quart. Could have caused damage to the car if not checked. Horrible customer service. I was give then run around and excuses. Stay away.

Horrible car wash. They didn’t vacuum or wipe down dashboard and inside doors at all.

I LOVE this place!!! I get the unlimited monthly wash. The staff is great, always friendly and helpful!

Can I give less? They messed up my oil pan after a simple oil change.
I went to Midas and they showed me a universal gasket clamp that was installed by Big Daddy Car Wash. What happened to the original? I wasn’t even informed. Now I have to come out hundreds of dollars to replace my oil pan. Go to a more reputable place for anything more than a car wash. Go to Firestone on Bergenline.

Came here for an oil change so can’t say anything about the car wash. I was in the area doing some business and decided to just stop by here. Now I wish I lived closer because it was great for me all around.
I read the reviews and I’m not surprised that people were being sold things that weren’t needed for their cars because almost all oil change places or mechanics do this.
What I was surprised about, however, is that the mechanic who changed my oil did not try to rip me off and did not try to tell me there were a bunch of things wrong with my car. I don’t know much about cars but I do know I had a small engine leak from the valve gasket cover. I haven’t had that fixed yet because it’s quite pricey and every time I bring my car somewhere for an oil change, they would tell me there were a bunch of other things wrong with my car, each place a different story. However, the gentleman opened up the hood and told me right away I had an engine leak and that he would take a look at it. I was expecting a whole salesperson pitch about what services I need to get done, but he just came to me and said, you have a minor leak, it’s coming from the valve gasket cover. He then asked me what kind of oil I wanted and I said synthetic because I normally use synthetic oil for my car. He asked me if I was sure I wanted synthetic oil because I had a leak and it would be a waste of money, and he told me he would recommend a different cheaper solution. He brought me a bottle of something else and explained that it would slow down my leak because it’s thicker and I wouldn’t be wasting my money on synthetic until I got it fixed. He started changing my oil and when he was done, he showed me it was full. I was really shocked by his customer service and honesty that saved me $ 20. It’s so difficult finding honest mechanics these days so it was a refreshing experience to find someone who isn’t trying to rip you off.
I would recommend this place based on my own personal experience, but I guess it all depends on who your mechanic is.

They were extremely pushy about me getting an engine wash and a fuel injection cleaning. I don’t know much about cars but I think I have enough common sense to google these things before dropping mad cash on anything. Of course I found out that engine washes are a scam and actually harmful since they can dislodge particles that can damage your engine.
The guy was SO FREAKING PUSHY! It was insulting because he stopped as soon as I said «let me talk to my boyfriend about it» after I said no many times. That really pissed me off. I only went here because they had a coupon for a free car wash with an oil change.

Went there to had car wash done. Presenting my online coupon I was told that they no longer accept those. Asking the cashier to remove it or add a disclaimer she got real snazzy.
Thanks Big Daddy you made my choice a lot easier!

Im very happy with the customer service at the wash car. I joined the Monthly Plan customer:)

I’ve been getting my oil changed here, and ONLY here, for years. They of course try to upsell you. Sometimes it’s even something you need, though typically it’s not. That’s fine… everyone is trying to make a profit. As a recognition of being their customer, they give you a free car wash, baking it right onto the receipt. That’s a nice touch. I often get a rain check, because I’m usually in a hurry.
I found an old receipt the other day and decided to take them up on it today. I show the receipt to the car wash attendant with no problem. They give me the bill, direct me to the cashier and start vacuuming. The cashier takes the bill and my raincheck, plopping down a scratch-​off that I know to be a coupon for future services. She then realizes that my raincheck was from some time ago and tells me it won’t be accepted (?). Now the two most salient points are that:
#1. There is no expiration of ANY kind on the raincheck, and
#2. My car is already in the car wash alley
I point out #1 to her, but she continues on to give me a bunch of ¥%^# about it. Apparently if the raincheck wasn’t issued yesterday, it’s a BIG problem! «My manager won’t accept this» and she demands payment for which I «can use the coupon» she just gave me (?). Ok, I indicate I’m only too happy to speak to the manager, but that #2 is the case. She continues her nonsense then tells me that I gave her the raincheck off the receipt rather than the entire receipt because I was trying to pull a fast one on her (?) I simply stay on point and reiterate the company’s need to put an expiration on the thing if recognizing a customer’s patronage has an expiration to Big Daddy’s way of thinking. Before her asinine behavior becomes too obvious to customers approaching, she basically tells me in polite terms to get the hell out.
I left the new coupon on the counter… I won’t need it because I won’t be coming back to this place.
Big Daddy, you just lost my annuity business because it’s pretty clear how you value it… like a baby treats its diaper!

I wish I could give less than 1 star! Horrible horrible service. Every time I go there’s always something I’m pissed at and I say I’m not going back but the manager that used to be there at least fixed the issues while I was there. The new female manager they have is absolutely the worst mgr I have ever delt with anywhere, yelling at me from across the parking lot instead of coming to find out what the issue is! They lost Business not only on my 3 vehicles but the 6 other vehicles owned by family members. I’m done! I would even pay more to go elsewhere.

I bring my BMW here for its annual synthetic oil change. I don’t have to get out of the car and they do it in 10 minutes. While it’s true that they will try to push other services, that may or many not be needed, I simply say no thank you and I am on my way. Overall, I think they are pretty good.

Just got my daughter’s car detailed. She had tint on her windows in the front. They did an excellent job removing it. I would recommend Big Daddy’s Car Wash to anyone. Great job. Thank you.

I would give zero stars if I could. Went yesterday for an oil change and wiper blades (usually done by my regular mechanic, but I recently moved to the area and needed one in a pinch) and was presented with a bill for $ 400 worth of additional work. I refused, and coincidently now today my car shuts off after starting. You can be sure my regular mechanic, who checked out my car fully four months ago and there was NOTHING wrong, will be looking at it again. If he finds that these technicians messed with my car, this establishment will be hit with a lawsuit so large that their grandkids will be paying me. Ridiculous! Just because I am female, doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about cars. You picked the wrong woman to swindle.

Not the best price I’ve seen around in terms of oil changes. They try to take you for a sucker here. You bring your car for an oil change, then they tell you all these other things are wrong with the car that actually aren’t. So you go to a trusted mechanic and he tells you they’re all fine. Sure they sucker some house wives who know nothing about cars.
But its a living I suppose. Shop around you can find specials for $ 19.99 if you look around.
AVOID!

Horrible, rude customer service.
Sleazy, lying mechanics.
That is what you encounter there. I have been going there for several years but wont return for many reasons some I’ll share here:
Every time I have been there they have said I need a new Battery or need to replace the Serpentine belt among other things. After being told this on more than one occasion by different mechanics at Big Daddy’s Car Wash I had Firestone Complete Auto Care check my battery which they installed. They said the battery was fully charged & didn’t need to be replaced since it was installed less than a year. I changed the Serpentine belt, transmission fuel, battery & every time would be told by these crooks I should get services/​parts I did not need.
BEWARE when you go for an oil change because you might end up paying more than expected for their profit not yours.

If you have’ve wondered what it would be like to have Stevie Wonder and the dead guy from Weekend at Bernie’s wash your car, Big Daddy’s has made that a reality. I opted for their Deluxe package for about $ 31 and by the looks of it 7 people putting 0 effort = great big rip off. I recommend driving your car into the Hudson and having a tow truck pull it out for better results.

Automated car belt caused accident! Owners then blamed the fault on «under inflated tires»
I stopped by this car wash for the first time because a group of birds left me a lot of presents when i picked up my groceries. This was the closest car wash i found on my phone so i stopped in for a quick wash.
The car in front of me fell off track and my car began to hit his car repeatedly. There was NO one on duty to watch the cars and the only reason why a clerk stopped the whole operation was from customers yelling it out.
scratches and damages were done but the owners did not accept any responsibility because they claim the «tire» was under inflated form the car in front of me. In fact, not even an apology was offered.
BS excuse, BS service. Stay away
