This place is awesome. I live in South Western Pennsylvania and I have a monthly subscription! The personnel are professional, courteous and extremely kind and helpful! I go nowhere else to wash, get a ceramic coat and vacuum my Jeep! It looks and smells fabulous thanks to the professionals at the Wave! Services: Auto interior vacuuming, Polishing, Car waxing

Love this place. Friendly employees who greet you with a smile. Clean towels, clean trash bins. Pleasant place to clean up your car. Just discovered the free matt beater and it works decently well too.

Car looked great. Love the towels and cleaners available for use. Parking lot could use a good cleaning. Beware of bees hovering around bins when vacuuming.

This car wash has had its ups and downs over the years and, unfortunately, most of them were downs. However it's the closest car wash to my house so I would always check back and try it once in awhile. Lately things have been very much on the upswing and I was wondering why. I think they're under new ownership but I don't think that's it. The only common denominator I saw was a very feisty redheaded manager who is very service-oriented. The place is cleaner, more organized, the towels and chemicals are always there, the vacuums always work, and I don't see the staff standing around on their phones anymore. Now I'm a monthly member.

This car wash used to be my absolute favorite in the area. The last couple visits have not been up to par and today was the last time I will visit. Upon pulling into the wash, I noticed no workers and thought maybe it was automatic now. After waiting a minute, I had to back out, get out of my car and find an employee to start the wash. Wash was much faster than normal. When I pulled out and got out of my car, I saw soap still on my car and a mess of tire cleaner which seemed to only hit my rims. As I started drying my door jambs, etc., I notice that the car is still pretty dirty. I grabbed one of the provided rags and went to wipe off the tire cleaner from my rims. Rims and tires were still filthy and the provided rag smelled awful. I cannot imagine using that inside my car. Upon leaving the car wash, I found my windshield was foggy and filmy. I actually had to pull over, spray and wipe off my windshield. Not sure what happened to this business, but it saddens me that it has gone downhill this quickly.

There is always something wrong at this place. Always! The scanners at the entrance point are always messed up, the actual car wash is always down. Majority of the works are good, there are a few lazy workers that don't really do much. The best part about this place is the vacuums! They are the best around

1. Car wash cancelled my plan. 2. I requested a refund for the month they were closed and did not receive it. 3. Unable to only vacuum with out waiting in line. They put cones so you have to wait in wash line even if you just want to vacuum with your pass. 4. One of the managers is VERY rude. 5.Multiple times rags are unavailable for drying vehicle and placed wet in a big yellow bucket by the mat cleaner. These were unusable because they were not dry. Services: Auto detailing, Vacuuming

When it is good it is very very good. When it is bad, you can read everybody else’s review. It is mechanical, it is dramatic with plenty of colored lights and lots of baths in lots of chemicals, it doesn’t do a lot of banging around, slapping or snapping. So unless you festoon your vehicle with a lot of loose aftermarket whimwhams you should get through okay. The real problem is volume, and it may continue indefinitely. Predictably, if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door—so you might want to put in a reinforced sidewalk before you go public. If I am happy with their product, and venture into the unlimited express path which seems so desirable on paper, thousands of you may also fall for it. And even if you don’t wash your car every day—or every hour—the line of cars will get longer and longer, the vacuum stations will fill up, the towels will run out (I have observed whole families making a social event of it, every child with two or more towels, every parent wielding a vacuum nozzle, and apparently nobody in a hurry to finish). Do the math: the capacity of even the best carwash is not infinite. At present the Wave Car Wash is I think doing a pretty good job of keeping up with the press of traffic. The towel supply is steady, the tires come out very shiny and black (although the tire treatment leaves residue on your alloy wheels, it can apparently be wiped off with the all-black towels successfully). The Assistant Manager has always been responsive and friendly, although she has to be everywhere at once and is sometimes very engaged with other parties. Although I am an Express Member and will go several times a week—sadly my vehicle is not garage kept, and may be very susceptible to the digestive processes of birds—I do not pretend that I am entitled to do comprehensive auto detailing on the Wave Car Wash property. That is the reason I have become an “Express Member”—I want the car to be and appear to be clean, BUT I ALSO WANT TO BE “IN AND OUT.” So far so good. I think there should be twice the carwash capacity for the present volume of traffic, but otherwise, really nice work, Wave Car Wash, and I hope you can match the pace, at least until pigs can fly!

Worst customer service EVER!!! My card had been charged monthly and account had been updated with this new management but each time I would come through the line to get my car washed, there was a problem. I brought it 2 times to the manager Debbie who blamed me, she was very dismissive and walked away. I contacted the Area Manager and asked to have my call returned, this person never reached out to me at all. I have canceled my 2 accounts with this car wash. They are 100 0/0 only interested in your money and not your problem. Find a place that believes in customer service.

My experience here was not the best. My car looked better before I came here and that says a lot about the quality. I had so many paint chip spots and also water spots on my car and also ended up losing my tag and was told they didn’t see it…wow. I went in with two tags on my car. I recommend here if you don’t care much about the car 👍🏾 Service: Car waxing
