Magnotta’s Car Wash & Detail Center

Friend told me about this place and its monthly plans. I opted into the monthly plan that was about $ 45 – 50 per month.
I usually visited the car wash either on the week day evenings after work or Sunday afternoons. This place is always busy and backed up at these times — 30+ minutes wait. As you can imagine, when it’s busy the car washes are really bad. Worst part is that randomly, I’ll find new fresh scratches on my car after the car wash. I’m guessing there are little rocks and other debris stuck in their towels or washing tools. I had to stop my monthly plan ASAP cause this was definitely a waste of money. When I went to stop the reoccurring monthly charge, they couldn’t figure it out how to do it on their system. This sucks. :(

Since I’ve bought a white car 4 months ago, the need to take a trip to the car wash, has been in my itinerary once a week.
Magnotta is a very popular car wash in a White Plains. The lane to get into Magnotta, can be horrendously never-​ending. But, its popularity is based on: 1. Staff is extremely serviceable and 2. You really get what you paid for. Prices may be a touch costly, but the end result is really amazing.
Once you’re in the lane, depending on how busy or not Magnotta is, you can just drive up to the menu board. Selections vary from your very basic Interior/​Exterior Wash, Clear Coat Protector, Full Service, and the list goes on and on.
Magnotta has a wide list of services as well as Coupon Books that you can purchase with a certain amount of washes. I particularly like the Coupon Book that includes plenty of car washes for a reasonable dollar amount. In addition to their Coupon Books, Magnotta has a VIP Program– so see this as a Rewards Program where you get to accumulate points toward a free wash on your birthday. And by the way, the VIP Program is free of charge.
I’ve never left unhappy. In fact, with my other car, as one of the men was finishing off drying my car, he noticed some hard deposit spots on the trunk. He pointed those out to me, and said it was tree sap. He whipped out what I like to call ‘The Miracle Eraser’. It’s a clear solution (of whatever) that instantly removes old or new tree sap. I was extremely happy when he removed the sap. And since then, I’ve been a loyal customer.
Magnotta’s cleaning solutions as well as the staff, always keep my car looking fresh and super spotless, everytime. And it’s totally a step up from the other car wash locations that I’ve tried in other parts of White Plains.

Exterior clean for $ 16 a month. Sweet staff, no hidden charges and very straight forward. No complaints!

Terrible job cleaning the inside of the car — like another reviewer already said: I paid $ 27 for «the works» thinking that the inside of my car would actually get cleaned, it was left dirty. Never coming back here again

I am such a moron! I desperately needed a car wash and had a little bit a time to spare. I just happened to see this car wash driving by. I got «The Works». What a waste of money! What does «The Works» consist of? Vacuum? Apparently not because when they waved me over when my car was done, there was still sand in my car. I pointed it out to them and they told me I should have gotten «The Super Clean». Does «The Works» consist of wiping down the dust off dashboard, doors, and panels and even the seats?” NOPE! After pointing out the dust and the lack of wiping everything down, the worker just kept telling me I should have gotten «The Super Clean!» So going back to my original question… what the heck is «The Works?» I paid $ 27 for an exterior car wash and that’s pretty much it. I should have just waited for it to rain to know my car at least would get a better exterior wash than this place!!!

The service here sucks! Price here is not worth it! I got ripped off when I paid $ 25.00. Their so –called «All the Works.» I just went here to give it a try since it was near where I live. I guess it’s worth a drive to «Oakley Car Wash.» Yes, I strongly recommend not to have your car wash in this place. If you love your car… treat it with care. They will not take care of your car.
If you’re planning to have your car wash in this establishment. Go to the gas station, you’ll have the same result.

I come here every once in a while to wash my car. They do a decent job. What really annoys me is they dont pay attention to any details. My car came out and there were some smudge marks that i asked the guy to wipe off and he just shrugged at me and waked away. Seriously dude? Whatever. My car needs a serious detail but if thats how they do the regular wash ill be checking out another place.

DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH! Ryan Maffei is the «owner» and will treat you like garbage especially if you are African American or Hispanic. Not to mention when your car goes through the car wash YOUR TIRE RIMS WILL GET DESTROYED. I am warning all residents of our lovely county of Westchester not to go to this car wash. Ryan Maffei is a racist who treats his minority customers and workers like garbage. He is rude. I was warned but I didn’t take heed. I learned the hard way and now my car destroyed. SPREAD THE WORD!!!

There is not anybody better in Westchester for cleaning cars. I have used them for years and gone to others all around as well. I find them far superior to the other carwashes. If there is a long line your interior may not be as sparkling as a times when they are quiet but I cannot fault them because there is so much pressure from cars coming behind. I always give the guys very generous tips at Christmas and Thanksgiving both because they work so hard. I actually give people carwash gift certificates as gifts from Magnotta’s. Get the multipack it is cheaper and they give you a free wash after 9 I think. Also free birthday wash. White Plains sends all their police cars there for washing. I have never had an issue with them about anything. When I am more hard up I get my car washed at the cheaper place around the corner. They don’t dry it off of course they don’t do the interior. You get what you pay for. Oakley’s down the street on Central Avenue it’s just not as good. I have never really been able to figure out why but I go there if I just happen to be in that area and I desperately need a car wash.

Horrible is all I can say, looks like a nice place but they don’t now how to clean cars. My car came out and was dirty in many spots on the outside and inside was done very poorly. I spent $ 23.00 and they didn’t even shine my tires. Never will I go here again.

I was in the neighborhood and decided to try Magnotta’s again. Terrible decision: I paid $ 21 for a full service wash and tipped $ 3. Imagine my disgust upon returning home to find my car is still dirty– looks clean at 1^st glance but an awful lot of the «schmutz» is still on the car. $ 24 for nothing. I plan to avoid this place. I should have been suspicious when there was no line on a beautiful day.

100% Brushless? What a load of crap. All automated. This false advertising!
The employees did not wipe off all the soap, left streaks and scratched my car.
I’d give this place no stars if I could.

You would think the conveniently located car wash would be the way to go. Not in this case. If you have a successful car wash business you’re suppose to make sure that the car comes out clean! Scratches and dents and damage I can understand cause its not the car wash responsibility to make that go away. But if my car gets severely bird sh**ted on then shouldn’t they run it through again to make sure it comes off? I mean that’s one of the top things that considers a car dirty and determines if its time for a wash or not. Sooooo displeased and would recommend a hose and sand paper for your car over this place!

I like the night special. I also like the fact that they’re sometimes on Groupon/​Livingsocial (i forget which site). I usually go to Oakleys which is down the road on Central Ave, but many of my friends have recommended this location, which is why i finally checked it out, and they won me over. I think the service here is much better than Oakley’s and its less crowded.

Be careful if you take a vehicle there with automatic doors. I took a BRAND NEW car there and saw the vacuum guys open the automatic rear door with their hands and slam it shut too! Warn them first and then stick around to observe them.
At least the guys who clean and polish the car have the decency to use the buttons. I understand they are in a hurry, but pretty sure that rushing the automatic doors is damaging to the vehicle’s technology.
Also another time I took another car and noticed that a white streak was still on the window after the wash. I was nervous that it was a permanent stain that I myself took out some windex and bounty. Luckily I was able to clean right it off, but it goes to show how effective their wash can be. After my GroupOn finishes I’m never going back.

This place does the worst car wash job I’ve ever experienced. Granted, this is NY, so keeping a clean car is not a priority here. But for me, it is, and always has been.
I got the $ 15 full service wash, which turns out is more like a $ 5 self-​service wash. Within seconds after your car pulls out of the car wash, the guys barely wipe down your car and are gone, leaving the car sitting there, dripping wet. Cleaning cars is not a fun job, and it’s quite taxing on the body. Even so, when you pay for a car wash, you also pay for it to be wiped down dry.
Additionally, there were dirty shoe scuff marks all over the interior of my car door and near the driver’s seat — all left by the workers. So you basically pay to come here and leave with your car wetter and dirtier than when you arrived.
This place totally sucks and the workers look unhappy, but this is the NY lifestyle, isn’t it.

I got the 13.99 «exterior special» which supposedly includes «triple foam wash, undercarriage rust inhibitor and wax polish.» This is February, my car had salt spatter all over. Soon after my car dried, I noticed salty streaks all over the door, trunk, and rear window. They put the cars too fast thru the machines, and the workers have to really hustle to wipe cars as they come out of the tunnel. Not worth your money. I probably should have gone back and asked them to re-​do it. Magnotta’s, please slow down! Your own workers can’t keep up with the pace and you are ripping off customers.

It used to be good. Changed management a few times, but some of the employees are the same. It’s pretty much useless now — they have raised prices and do not do a good job. I’ve watched them sort of vacuum and the system doesn’t remove sap… Don’t waste your time.

This was the first car wash that I’ve tried in the area and they did a pretty good job. $ 6 for wash is a pretty sweet deal. One downside is that their system did nothing for the tree sap on my windshield. That’s gonna be a doozy to clean.

I bought a groupon for this place not having been before– mistake.
I bought a $ 35 car wash– which is supposed to be the works. When I arrived they asked me to pay an additional $ 35 if I wanted them to do a «good job» on the interior. I don’t like the old bait and switch.
Most importantly, they didn’t get the car clean. When I complained that it was dirty, I was told that they do the best that they can in 10 minutes, and then that is it. It looked like they washed the car with mud. I drove down to Oakley’s and they cleaned it up and made it look nice, for ½ the price.
One other note, the area they leave your car when it’s done is very small– so they encroach on Central Avenue. It’s a dangeous situation for you and your car.
