Don't use this car wash, they are fraud. You will go to their car wash one time to get the car wash done, they will save your card details and automatically will put you on the monthly plan. Then will keep charging your card every month and do fraud.

This was my first time here. I came based on the reviews that I had seen on Facebook. My car has a soft top and I was concerned about having it run through a car wash. I was assured that they would take great care of it and there would be no issues, I was very impressed with the friendliness of the employees and their thoroughness. I felt the price was very reasonable for the service provided. I will definitely be back!

What a great, locally owned business to support!! Excellent service, very friendly staff and management. Thoroughly hand cleaned my vehicle pre and post wash, inside and out. Paid close attention to every detail and even went the extra mile on my "post deer season" and pet transport issues. My sport vehicle was clean, shiny, and even smelled good inside and out! Two different automatic car washes had recently damaged my car. I'll only come here from now on!

Do not waste your money on this place. Attendant suggested to upgrade to $15 wash because I bought the basic $11 wash. I was broke and couldn't afford $4 more. Told him maybe next time. I've never been to a car wash that only water was sprayed and no soap at all. I will never ever come here to get my car washed again and hope you won't either.

Hello Elmer, I apologize that you were unhappy with the wash. You actually received 2 different types of soap in the basic wash. You received a Simoniz soap called Top Gun and a Simoniz soap called Pass 2. In addition to that, you also received the Simoniz DeSalt and the Simoniz Bone Dry which is a drying agent in the wash. The only thing you did not receive was the pre scrub in the front of the wash and any of the optional add on chemicals and treatments for your car that you could not afford. If you were unhappy with the results of the wash, please send us a private message as we would love to have you come back through and let us take care of it for you. This review is not a true review of the car wash as you did receive soap and additional chemicals for your car.
There is alot of soap - Chevon P.Taskers Chance, Frederick, MD14443Aug 13, 2020Updated review
I went and got my car washed today because I needed this oil splash off my car, plus it was due for its monthly cleaning. I didn't think to get out and inspect my car this time because I intentionally purchased the package where they had to apply a protect and shine on the car. They wipe the whole car down before doing that, so they'll catch anything the car wash didn't, right?!?! Nope, the apparently "polished" right over it. Usually I'll over look things like this, but after paying $40, I think this needs to be addressed.
EDIT FOR RESPONSE: I'm not sure how to respond to messages directly, so I'll just add it here. No, I came on the 9th. I just edited my comment earlier today because of some typos and I realized it was 3 stars vs the 2 I intended to put.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hello, I am so very sorry that this happened to you today! This is completely unacceptable and not the product that we put out at all. I am not sure how this happened but can assure you that it is not a normal thing. We take pride in and strive for an extremely high quality service and great customer service! Will you please send us a private message so we can correct this for you. I can not stand to let your vehicle look like that after leaving our establishment and would like to review the camera to see who worked on your vehicle so I can personally re-train them on our standards! We will be waiting to hear from you. Frederickshellcarwash@gmail.com

Update:
I am also confused, you posted these pictures on Sunday and then reposted them today, Thursday with your review. In your review you said you came to the wash today? Was there a delay in your posting? I was trying to find your vehicle on the camera to find the employee to re-train them and I can’t find your vehicle there today.Aug 9, 2020Previous reviewI went and got my car washed today because I needed this oil splash off my car, plus it was due for its monthly cleaning.

They took care of a food spill, back seat. I'm a fan of their good staff, good service.

I decided it was just too hot to try to wash and wax my car, but it was in bad need of detailing. I was wonderfully surprised at what a great job they did - thorough, courteous, worked hard on my little car. While washing the windows, "Rob Daniel" welcomed me as a first time visitor, and provided me with info on memberships. This was a great experience, and my car looks great inside and out! I will definitely return! I left them a well deserved tip!

It is a long wait but it's a really thorough detail for a great price.
If you aren't in a hurry this is the place to go, but they do have the fast exterior only drive through as well.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jessica R.Brunswick, MD077175Jun 17, 2017
The guys here always do a great job and this morning was no different. I find their prices very reasonable especially when getting gas. I attempted to wash my truck yesterday at a do it yourself place. After 20 minutes $10 I stopped and asked why am I doing this.
Thanks for always making my baby shine!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
