Good job. You stay in your car unless you need a vacuum. Got the bronze monthly package. Good price

Other than a great car wash this place is also a detail center. There are many options you can get for the car wash. Ranging in prices and options, you can get exterior and interior. You get to stay in the car during the car wash which is always fun. They workers do a great job of drying the car off. Definitely recommend coming here

Got the gold full service. The team did an awful job on the inside. I spent another 30 minutes cleaning the interior myself. Don't recommend, wont be coming back, too expensive for the job they did. Better off going to shrewsbury or Butchs. didn't even vacuum the floor in the backseats

This was the worst DAmM customer service I've ever experienced while going to a car wash and I've been using a few to clean my cars.

I recently relocated to Ocean County and I see why.....I don't understand how a customer shows up in the amenable time to have his/her car clean in and out to turn have someone deny the service while taking his money.

I demanded a refund and I got it. I will never use this car wash again as long as I'm black. Get it!!!!

So that is not where our ordeal ended. Because of the shoddy work that we received we ultimately had to have further repair on our vehicle. We went to a REPUTABLE auto repair shop, and had the car fixed to the tune of $435. We needed a new hub, bearing, Bering had to be pressed, another rotation, balance, wheel alignment and misc supplies to do the job. All because Garden State has inferior employees working for them. I wouldn't send my worst enemy here!!!!!

This is my go to place ever since high school, and I'm always happy with the job well done. But today I was not happy with the service, as one of the young girls working today, perhaps in her high school or early college years kept telling me to MOVE FORWARD even though the car in front of me had not moved yet. She was not paying attention while hand signaling me and was talking to her other young friend and gave me a nasty look telling me to move forward faster. She did not even tell me to put my car in neutral until last minute when She was spraying my car (very poorly also did not wait

Waited 3 days to review this place because I wanted to be fair.
The "machine" part of this car wash is pretty good, even tho I had some dry dirt that didn't care off, I felt the machine did a good job specially on the wheels.
Now the "human" part of the wash was very poor, 2 girls rushing to have the job done. No pride on the job they were doing, carpet cleaning was the best part, but vacuum was marginal. The biggest NO was the way they did Not clean the consoles of the car. The gears part was not even vacuum and the side doors not even saw a rug.. dashboard was neglected

Well I went back after the owner posted a nice comment on my previous critical review. While it was appreciated, my experience this time wasn't any better. I paid $26 for the interior to be included- it seemed they spent longer on my Jeep this time compared to last. My windshield was so streaky and dirty I had to clean it again when I got home. Same thing for my wheels (even though they were included in the package I purchased) so I had to clean those again on my own. As I was cleaning my wheels I also noticed my license plate (which is only a year old) was bent nearly in half from driving

I love this place! I've tried dozens of car washes in the area and none of them come close to how great this place is. I love it so much I even bought the $20 unlimited washes a month package. The people who work here are so friendly and my car is always left incredibly clean. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Thank you for your excellent and friendly service. I had a synthetic oil change done. The service was friendly, without all of the B.S. extra sales pitches given at a more famous, national oil change business. Additionally, the cost (with a coupon) was about $30 less than I expected.
The oil change included a Gold-level, exterior car wash. Finally, they offer very powerful, self serve vacuums. You've earned my loyalty.

What a waste of money! I bought the supposedly BEST car wash ($19) and they never wiped down the exterior windows and the windshield was still dirty. When I pointed it out to the guy acted like he was doing me a favor by spraying it with window cleaner. I pointed out some other areas and he said that I would have to buy a handwash if I wanted the car cleaned well.

I purchased the shine pkg for an additional $12 for them to ArmorAll the dash and interior front doors. Of course he tried to sell me another pkg to vacuum the interior but I had just done that myself using their vacuums.

He used some
