Pelican Pointe Car Wash

good carwash and super cheap

Fast, they personally scrubbed my windows, and free vacuum for as long add I needed it! I’ve already recommended it to friends, and I won’t go anywhere else!

This place is the best– my car comes out of the wash looking amazing! The vacuums (free) are the strongest I’ve ever used and the length of the vacuum tube is long enough to walk around your car with! I have the unlimited pass and it makes the whole chore of washing your car a breeze! I love how clean and quiet the facility is — very professional– thank you guys!

I was expecting the Ritz of car washes just based on the appearance of this place from Claiborne Avenue. Pelican Pointe is not that, but it does the job just fine. I went for the $ 12 car wash, which was one step down from the top Platinum wash for $ 15. My tires needed serious help (lots of bayou mud!), and this wash made them shine again! I would guess that the $ 8 wash would have done the trick too, and for more normal circumstances in the future, I will probably just go for the $ 6 wash.
The automated payment lanes were easy to use and fast and efficient. The self-​vacuums are free post-​wash. There’s a vacuum conveniently located on each side of your car so you can easily reach all spots inside your vehicle. It would be nice if they provided rags or towels in the post-​wash vacuum area, but I’ll be sure to bring my own with me next time for those touch-​up spots.
Note to «permanent-​bike-​rack-​on-​the-​car» drivers: they made me take mine off before the wash and did it for me, but offered no assistance putting it back on and just threw it in my trunk. I’ve been to other automatic car washes in the area who have let me leave it on.

good wash for the money around $ 15 for a super wash. I wish they had a prewash option, I am used to automatic car washes + hand detailing, where they vacuum your car and wipe down with dry towels. my rims get really grimy so could have use a prewash but the results were decent. definitely get the rainx lasts a long time.

I really like this car wash. Not the best neighborhood though. Keep your wits about you while you are here. The wash itself is really good.
I find myself judging these drive through, do it yourself car washes by how good the blow dryer at the end is. If I come out and most of the water is off the car, that’s good for me.
That being said, my car does come out really clean from this wash. I have a black Jeep Grand Cherokee, it’s a few years old and when I wipe it down after coming out of this wash it looks almost new. I come back here two or three times a month and I’m a car wash snob (douche). I’m always cleaning my car.
Prices ranges are: $ 9, $ 12 & $ 15. I always get the $ 12 wash. It has the tire shine and it looks really good. I think they have specials on Tuesday where all the washes are reduced by $ 2 each.
I feel bad not giving it five stars but the neighborhood sketches me out so much that it takes away from the car wash as a whole.

3.75÷5 clean for what it is, scary lights.
so you pay up, then you move through. i haven’t been in one in a while where you put your car into neutral and then you’re moved along a track. i think this is really important: be aware of the tricky light show. i’m not one to have a medical reaction, but i definitely felt uncomfortable with all the colors and flashing and whatnot. had i known i would have kept my eyes closed through the period. you emerge on the other side pretty clean — i felt that it did a good job getting the dirt off, even my wheels looked spiffy.
now my favorite part: free vacuums! oh goodness, my car hadn’t been vacuumed in an embarrassingly long amount of time, so i went to town! it did a great job cleaning out sand from the summer beach trips, wayward leaves, and all sorts of little surprises. it was so satisfying, and a terrific value add to a standard priced wash. now it’s not like those things are powered by dyson, but they got the job done.
will be back!

Quick and easy! The staff members are friendly and they have free vacuums to use.
$ 2 off on Tuesdays, and $ 3 off every day in October.

Automatic car wash with many options from just a basic wash to a more elaborate wash and even even monthly packages. As a bonus you have access to many car vacuums after your car is washed highly recommend.

My poor car hadn’t been washed in forever and I finally decided to stop at this carwash on my way home.
I didn’t realize that the basic wash was only $ 6 until I checked Unilocal reviews. But when I used the machine to pay, it only charged me $ 3. I wasn’t sure why but then as I was leaving the wash area to go toward the self vacuum area I saw a sign that said $ 3 off all washes in the month of October. Hello!
I will probably be back more often, since I am way too lazy to wash my car myself.

Horrible service. Very rude. I would give them zero stars if I could. The only good thing they have are the vacuums but good luck getting to them. Before the wash, they wouldn’t even let me get out of my car to get the leaves from under the wipers… at the CAR WASH! The equipment is great, the manager (working at 1140a.m.ish, 9−28−15,) is not so great and it shows. The huge lot was empty except for one car. There were more employees than customers. The end.

Alright, alright, alright… for an automated car wash, this is top notch. They offer $ 6-​$ 15 washes. I went medium and got the $ 9 job which included some wheel stuff. According to the menu, the $ 15 full monty came with a light show — seriously.
Anyway, the place is off Claiborne. It’s easy to access. There wasn’t a whole lot of traffic, so I drove straight in, picked my wash level and then pulled my car up. It’s an automated deal, so I hit neutral and let the matrix machines do the rest. The whole wash took about 2 minutes, maybe less. In terms of machine washing efficiency, this was great. My jeep looked refreshed afterwards with no water steaks or soap spots. I was totally satisfied with the finished product.
Then to the free vacuums. Mas vacuums. There were tons. Pretty strong suction, plenty of length for the hoovers. In the vacuum area, they also have plenty of trash cans to dispose of all your junk.
The overall cleanliness of Pelican Pointe was solid. The parking area was immaculate. The trash cans were emptied. Overall, the place looked great. Reminds you of something you find in the suburbs.
They have some monthly options for unlimited washes. I’m not sure if I like Pelican Pointe that much. Actually, I’m not sure if I like my car that much, but I will definitely repeat.

I remember when Pelican Pointe just had the location out on David Drive. Now they’ve expanded to 5 locations, the Claiborne Avenue location being the newest one. The wash is great; I park under trees and as a result my car is seemingly always COVERED in pollen, this place gets it off and gets my car looking sleek. I get the mid level wash which includes a tire/​rim shine and my rims come out looking FIYA.
Someone else said they don’t have a floor mat machine; they’ve definitely added one. I like that, like at the other locations, they have a parking area with trash cans at every spot so it’s easy to park and clean your vehicle while taking as long as you need. They have vending machines for car care products, but these are overpriced, especially when you can get the same/​better stuff just a few blocks up Claiborne.
I pay $ 30/​month for an unlimited pass; monthly pass prices are uniform across all locations. For pay-​per-​use users, keep in mind this location is $ 1/​wash more expensive, for all levels, than all their other locations in Jefferson Parish.

We were happy to hear they were building a Pelican Pointe in the city. Now that we’ve been, we’re even happier. We experienced outstanding customer service today. When the scanner wouldn’t accept our coupon (always check online for a coupon before you go!) the attendants went inside to find another coupon for us. After a few minutes of technical difficulties with the scanner, we were given a card for 2 free washes. The staff couldn’t have been more kind. They were apologetic for an issue that was clearly outside of their control and they went above and beyond to help us.

Ooohh fancy new suburban style car wash, right by my house! The cheapest wash is $ 6 and it gets the oak pollen off. Plus then you get to use the free vacuums. The vacuums aren’t quite as powerful as some of the other car washes I’ve been to but they do get the job done with some extra effort on your party.
I do wish they had the floor mat machines and more vending machines for supplies… instead I brought my own and had my the people around me try to mooch.
Weirdly, if you go to the Pelican Pointe website to check hours or prices, this location is not listed. Maybe they just haven’t gotten to that yet.
As a side note, I uploaded a short video of the disco lights and sloshy carwash action for your amusement, and while it’s available on the app, it’s not on the desktop version of Unilocal.#whatupwiththat

I love Pelican Point Car Wash and was excited to find out that they had opened a location right on Claiborne. I used to drive out to Metairie/​Kenner all the time just to wash my car and vacuum it out. So best thing about Pelican is that they are cheap and the wash comes with a free self-​serve vacuum. This location is exactly the same as the one out in Metairie/​Kenner, but the price is $ 1 more. I don’t know why that is. Maybe the rent or cost of the location is slightly more. Anyway, always get a good wash and it’s quick and convenient.

Fun new automated car wash right here in the city. Washes go from $ 6-​$ 15 and they have monthly passes that give you unlimited washes.
I think it’s insanely fun to stay in the car while it’s being washed and they have a ton of blinking, colored lights to enhance the experience. No shame in admitting I giggled like a school girl the entire time.
Tons of free vacuums to use, but we didn’t try those today.
Knocked off 1 star because for $ 15 there were still quite a few bugs smattered across the front bumper and the windshield, but overall satisfied, and will be back!
