Paradise Car Wash & Detail Center

We came back to the Twin Cities after driving out to west central Minnesota to attend grave sites for Memorial Day. My car was full of bugs and a couple of plants had spilled in the back of my SUV. I told the attendant that I wanted to make sure the back got vacuumed and he recommended I get the Supreme package since it comes with the extended vacuuming. When I got the car I drove around the corner to make sure that everything had been done. The first thing I looked at was the back end. Lo and behold, there was absolutely nothing done in the back. I immediately returned to the attendant, who claimed to remember me and sent me back up to the front of the line to get the vacuuming done. I was pretty steamed, having paid an extra five dollars to get a small area of my SUV vacuumed and not even having anybody even look at it. It wasn’t until the next day that I realized they didn’t even do the air freshener that was supposed to be a part of the package I had purchased. I now wonder what other services I paid for that I didn’t receive. IF I ever go back there, I will watch everything that gets done to my vehicle to make sure I am getting everything I paid for.

The only reason they get 4 stars is that Christian in the detail center is amazing!!! The car wash part gets 2 Stars. A bunch of 15 – 16 year old kids that don’t give a S – T about anything is not how I want my car washed and cleaned. I am there 3 times a week some weeks and I usually have to go home and clean up my car after leaving there. If you want your vehicle brought back to new looking see Christian in the detail bay… Otherwise expect to leave there and finish wiping your car off yourself!

Update. So I brought my 2007 Tahoe here for the detailing job and they did pretty good. The buff-​n-​shine machine did wonders, so good it got my Tahoe sold in 3days without even trying. It made my black Tahoe look like a deep dark phantom of the night. I almost hated to sell it, seriously! I would give the detailing update more stars but it affects the regular car wash too, which if you read my previous post is just so-​so. For the life of me I wish when they just do the regular car wash they could clean inside of windows without making them streaky. I always have to re-​clean the windows and thats the part I hate the most. Probably because they are just too busy. Lately I just have them do an exterior clean only. I end up redoing most of the interior anyhow.

Was hoping it was going to be good but the inside work was very poor, the windshield they kinda touched enough to smear it up a little, the floors they got the big stuff and thats about it. The outside was ok. Not what i would expect for $ 30+ dollars. Won’t be back.

If I could leave less than a 1, I would. I ran my car here prior to a sales meeting for a quick clean up. I selected their Admiral package, which is a mid range package.
They ran my car down the line, did as little as humanly possible to clean the cars exterior to mirror their package options, for cleaning choices.
When I asked to complete the tasks they neglected, such as all interior/​exterior windows, tire and wheels dressing, and drying off the water spots they half way completed, you would have thought I asked them to actually do their job or something.
Seriously why work in a car wash or anywhere for that matter if you only want to do the bare minimum?
I had bad service here a few years back and thought I would give it another try. I don’t know why I bothered and I definitely won’t make that mistake again.

I’m consistently disappointed in the first (vacuum) and last (interior wipe-​down) part of my visits to this Paradise. Occasionally the vacuuming is not done well and almost every time, the wiping down of the interior is poor. I walk out to the car with $ 2 – 4 for a tip but I usually end up putting it back in my pocket $ 20-​$ 30 is a lot of $ and while I realize that I’m not paying for detailing, it doesn’t seem like much effort is put in.
One thing I do like is that they let me bring my Golden Retriever inside even though he barks at Ruby. Ruby screeches right back at him. :)

I am sorely disappointed in the service I received at Paradise car Wash. When I went to get the cash out of my glove box to tip the guys it was gone. I know better than to leave money, so I’m partially to blame for it. However, as I was leaving I noticed that they did not even bother wiping down anything inside, or throwing out the trash, which was part of the package I paid for. So they had the time to rummage and steal, but not to do the job they are paid to do. If I didn’t have my Infant with me I would have said something but instead I left with a knot in my throat and an upset stomach! Needless to say I will take my business elsewhere.

Baby needs a bath. Not my favorite place — they tend to rush. Sometimes using the same towel for the car body AND windows. But in a pinch… it’ll do.

No longer impressed. Kids who have no work ethics anymore and can’t dry a car or truck completely. I always have to go behind them and do it myself. $ 40 for the supreme would be okay IF they actually did a decent job. My family and I will no longer come here anymore. Disappointing.

I think I come here mostly to visit Ruby the parrot. Since birds tend to ruin clean cars I’m not sure why I enjoy Ruby’s company. Don’t feed the bird any of the free popcorn.
I love the fact that Paradise is open no matter how cold it is in this dirty, salty state. Secondly, the cost here for their cheapest wash is a few bucks more than a Kwik Trip and they provide more services such as inside window washing, dash dusting, complete drying and whole vehicle vacuuming.
Only a couple times have I left with streaks and smears on the inside of the windows but that has been my only disappointment. My vehicle has been well handled here and I will continue to be a repeat customer! Also just a tip: take your valuables out before going inside. While they have signs saying so, take them seriously.

I enjoy the monthly membership so I don’t have to hassle with payment each time, plus if you get your car washed 3 times a month it pays for itself.
Downside is I had a $ 50 gift card that was in the change drawer that ended up missing. I went back and they looked at the video and saw a worker toss it in the garbage and then pick it out later. Somehow I ended up with a free buff n shine credit instead of the gift card. Then I went back 6 months later and they couldn’t locate the voucher? Other than the one incident it’s been good

Popcorn while you wait indoors. Nice girl behind the counter. Friendly workers. The service was only OK. They didn’t go out of their way to make it perfect. They missed a lot. But the job was done quickly and courteously.
On a side note, I don’t think a single one of them spoke Spanish. This is really too bad. None of the employees will have a future in the car washing business if they don’t learn the language. I could actually talk to the person who was drying my car. The person who vacuumed my car told me where to go in a very clear Midwestern accent. I feel so bad for them. Who knows if this business will last. At all the best car washes I’ve been to, I never had to say a word and misunderstood everything I heard and ended up with a spotless car with clean carpets and not a spec of dust inside. They better start serving chips and salsa instead of popcorn if they want to get ahead.
