Peacock Market Place & Car Wash

This is my go to car wash! They always do a great job (I have a dog that is constantly in car). Inside and out it’s always done to my full expectations. Also, the beef and/​or combo sandwich at the place inside is the best kept secret in Vernon Hills. Long time customer of both and referred many people!

Basically The worst! Is the exterior wash free? It was for us but I feel like they just forgot. We Came on a busy Sunday with a long line so I expected to wait. What I didn’t expect is to be stopped inside the actual car wash 3 times.
The guys working the wash were trying but the actual system they have set up to be efficient during busy times is actually the worst!!!

Using the coupon from the Mariano receipt for an exterior wash. The car parked on the driveway for several weeks and was covered with a lot of leaves which left marks all over. After the wash, most of the marks were gone. For a basic wash, it was a pretty good deal. Will come back for the service again.

Worst car wash I have paid for. Not much more to say. Purchased the most expensive full service wash– left with spots on the window and dirt and dust on surfaces that were supposed to be wiped down.
Strongly advise against this place. I should have taken the hint when I pulled up in the middle of the day and the wash was a ghost town– no one in line and it took an attendant a few minutes to come out from inside.

I used to like this place. Late last year, we were selling our car and we went for inside and out package. As our car came out and I checked it out after the guys were done, the mats were still wet, the car inside was not clean especially for the amount I paid.
The guys don’t seem to be interested in cleaning the car either. If you can’t do a decent job on a small car, Iam not coming back with our suv. Dismal experience. I will keep looking around for a good wash and detail place.
I have used this service around six times so far. It’s always a hit or a miss. Again, disappointing.

My Toyota RAV4 needed a deep-​clean to the interior seats & carpet/​flooring. Purchased the $ 119.99 package; and their staff did a fabulous job! Was very impressed, car interior looks brand new! Definitely would recommend Peacock, for your car detailing needs! Keep up the good work.

I went to Peacock for the first time a little over a week ago and could not have been happier with the outcome. My car was really dirty when I brought it in, but when I left, it was clean top to bottom, both inside and out. They did a great job of vacuuming the whole interior and I did not see a lot of streaking on the windows that often occur when windows are cleaned at car washes.
Got there pretty early and there was not wait. Also saw the huge market inside the store — good place to stop for a variety of food and snack needs. Pete, the manager was on site early as well — greeting customers and working with his staff.
I’ll be back — thumbs up!

AWFUL! AWFUL! AWFUL! I paid for their most expensive car wash. Before stepping out of my car, I pointed out a few things that I wanted them to especially pay attention to, like my cup holders and my windshield that had some spots on it from tree sap. They assured me that they will take care of it without a problem, asked me which air freshener I wanted and told me to go wait in the lobby. I gave them a $ 2 tip BEFORE the wash to the people who just drive your car in and do nothing else.
Upon getting into my car, I handed them a $ 5 tip and left. As I started driving, I notice that the spots on the windshield were still there and things were barely touched inside of my car. The vacuuming was sub– par, there was still dust on the inside of my doors, and not only did my car not smell like the lilac air fresher I requested, it smelled like their dirty rags that they used to «clean’ my car.
Needless to say, I was disgusted and disappointed but had absolutely no time to return so I called them instead, thinking they could somehow fix this situation. They informed me that the manager left for the day but took down my information and said that Keith will call me tomorrow. As you can imagine, no one called me back, so the following day, I called myself. They tried telling me that the manager was not there again and had me speak to someone else. I explained the awful «wash» I received and the man said that I should come back M-​F between 9 and 2. Most people have actual jobs (unlike the people at the carwash who pretend like they work). He offered nothing else on top of being very rude on the phone. I will OBVIOUSLY NEVER RETURN HERE and will spread the word. It’s a shame that people like that have jobs when so many people who are actually looking and willing to do good work are out of jobs.

OK so last time I went here was in August to get my car super clean cause I was going on a road trip. I was very upset with the service. On the outside it looked perfect. The inside was a different story. I paid for the full treatment inside and out. The inside they didn’t even vacuum good there was garbage crumbs still everywhere. They didn’t polish the inside well at all. I would say go wash your car yourself inside and out and don’t pay these dam people money. Its a waste of money you can be saving! Never ever going there again!

I paid for the top of the line wash package and was very disappointed. Everything about the service was sub par and I will not return.
The vacuuming of the car was awful, if it wasn’t obvious it did not get vacuumed up, they made no effort to get around or under the seats.
The window washing was even worse — the windows were worse when I left then when I came in, they obviously used soiled rags or towels because once you pulled out of the car wash and saw the light through the window they are terribly smeared.
The personnel was not very friendly, did not seem remotely passionate about doing a good job and though it was very slow they seemed rushed.
It is highly unlikely I will bring my car to this car wash again — I truly do not believe I would even with a 50% off coupon, it is not worth it to get aggravated when you pull out and realize your car is still dirty.

Been frequenting since it opened weekly or more in the Winter. Even though it is a bit out of the way it is worth it. Bought the basic job up to the wax job etc for $ 140 and have always been happy. There used to be a elderly man working at Peacock he was really nice and a real mensch he is not there anymore I miss him.
Always use clean cloths and are very professional and courteous. If you get the full service you get a free coffee nice touch. It is a terrific place run like a old time family business always clean and spotless.

I stopped here to fill up on gas. When I’m in this area I usually go to the BP on the corner of Milwaukee and Half Day but for some reason the price there was not as low as it normally is. This station as well as the one across the street were much cheaper and also offered the gas with wash discounted pricing. Plenty of pumps and the place looks relatively new.

This place is really large, and has a lot to offer inside in terms of drinks, munchies, etc. They have several gas pumps and the place seems up to date. I’ve stopped here a few times over other places due to their large selection. Never used the car-​wash.

The only reason I travel 8 miles to this car wash is because They cleaned the white wall tires correctly. But since the manager /​owner died a few weeks ago they do not clean the white walls the way they used to. This has happened twice now. If it happens again I will be going to another car wash. They have hired lazy people at the beginning of the car wash that half ass the cleaning of the white walls. Time will tell

EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER NEED IN A GAS STATION AND MORE
This is one of those huge gas station /​supermarket /​carwash places.
It’s almost like they have an identity crisis. Is it a gas station or is it a car wash or is it a grocery store or a fast food place?
Inside the building they have everything that you could possibly need like mega-​size bottles of Gatorade and isles of snack foods. They of course sell lottery tickets but then what gas station doesn’t sell them? As you move around inside you will see a food court where they sell pizza and actually have tables with chairs if you want to dine inside.
If you are looking for a carwash and running low on fuel then this is a good place to try. The gas prices are lower when you get a car wash so that is a bonus. They have many car wash levels to choose from like «Exterior Wash» or «Exterior and Interior Wash». They then have 4 or 5 levels to choose from depending on which wash level you choose.
If you choose the Exterior and Interior Wash, you will be able to get out of your vehicle while they vacuum and clean the inside. Your vehicle is then brought into the car wash where you can sit inside the building and watch your vehicle while it’s being washed. Once your vehicle is washed the porter will pull it up to an area where a team of guys with towels, cleaners and compressed air will finish cleaning and drying your car. I am impressed with the results considering that it isn’t a detail place but a gas station with a car wash.
So what is this place? I guess you could call it a mega-​gas station. I come here for the fuel and if I need a pretty decent car wash with a detail then I will come here.

This gas station is great, gas prices same as Ernies shell across the street, plenty of choices for drinks, fresh pizza made daily for lunch or a snack, bigger assortment for food and snacks than most stations in the area

Great service. Nice people. Good food!

I’m a little surprised by the reviews that I’ve seen here. I’ve been going to this place for over a year and, in my experience, every wash that I’ve had has been thorough and efficient. The staff inside the station and the attendants outside have been courteous and friendly. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because I’ve never had to make use of their rain guarantee so I don’t know whether they’ll honor it although I would expect them to do so.
I’ll continue to go there and highly recommend it to others.

Paid $ 20 for full service car wash. Snowed all week and they would not honor their guarantee.
Unethical.

I want to start off by letting you know that I have worked at a full service car wash back in my younger days. I was on the «sales» side, but at times also chipped in to help pull the cars into the bay and then some light book keeping towards the end of my employment (I was there on-​off for about 2.5yrs, depending on class schedule).
I have always been skeptical of these gas/​wash setups, as they are often nothing more than a way to add some ancillary revenue for the station. The equipment and supplies are often sub-​par and basically if you can get most of the dirt off the car: mission accomplished.
The setup here is well laid out and a lot better at getting the car clean than the wash @ Ernie’s across the street.
They discount the wash if you get gas, so you can get a simple wash for about $ 4 once you fill up the car.
The actual service is where it all falls apart:
— They often mismanage the queue of cars as they pull in and if there are a few cars in the multiple lanes, priority based on arrival is out the window.
— Again, based on volume, they will rush through doing the inside of the car.
— Same for exterior, they may have 2 start wiping it down and then one would take off for another car; with the remaining guy neglecting the part of the car that #2 was supposed to finish.
My biggest issue and this is with several washes: JACKETS!
Some may not notice, but if the attendants are wearing jackets and not sweatshirts, as the final layer of outwear, they are constantly hitting your car with zippers, as they wipe it down; so your finish will get scratched. Trust me, I KNOW. This is the case here and the reason I stopped coming here.
Back at my wash, we had our crew outfitted with sweatshirts in the cold months and polo shirts in the warm months. Keep an eye out for this setup when you drive by car washes offering wipe down service
