The best car wash in the greater Danbury area! Fast, clean, and towel dry. Friendly service, they even help me to learn Spanish! Great people work there.

Quick in and out friendly staff

Exterior wash is fine although expensive. Don't waste your money on a full service wash, $40+ and the car mats were still dirty, front windshield was not cleaned and had multiple streaks, even the radio touchscreen was not cleaned. Would never use the full service again.

Nov 06, 2024

I went to get a car wash there using my credit card in the summer. A gentleman was waiting near the kiosk for the payment telling me that he needed to do it for me since it wasn’t working properly. I gave him my card and off I went and got my car wash. That was in June, now three months later, I did not realize that my card was enrolled in a monthly car wash subscription. I’ve been paying for service that I did not sign up for! This is an absolutely unacceptable business practice so please be careful if you go there!! I will try to dispute the charges and update at a later time. This is the follow up review. After discussing the issue with the manager, he told me that he would contact his boss and get back to me. He did say that I would probably not get all of the money back even though his records indicated that I never went back to get a car wash there after that initial date. But then a week later he did a call me to say that they would be refunding the whole amount, so I’m glad that the whole issue has been resolved!

Fantastic job, left with that new car feel after the interior super clean. Found these folks when I worked in Danbury I drive from oxford to here for their service. Worth every cent.


Oct 06, 2024

Friendly service, convenient and fast. Neve had a problem there. The monthly membership is a great move in my opinion.


Oct 06, 2024

I bought the package and I enjoy it. The guys are very nice there


Jul 06, 2024

Great car wash, unlimited washes a month for $40


Jul 06, 2024

If you have a really dirty car, this is the place to go!


Jul 06, 2024

Went to this car wash early in the day. Only one worker available and they were in a rush so they did not dry my car well. Also the car wash itself was not very effective. For a $23 exterior wash, I do not want to still see dirt on my windows and tires and dust on the back of my car. I also inquired about an interior cleaning but the gentleman told me those individuals did not start working until 9:00 which was not for another 20 minutes after my wash. I went here because of its convenience for me this morning but will not be returning.

Car looks like New.

Great car wash, with great staff. Been going for a few years. Ownership changed but quality remained. If your local in area would def recommend it. I have the membership package so I get unlimited washes for a fixed price. Only thing not included is the ceramic seal which they want to charge an additional 5$. Spoke to the owner last year and he said they will be adding it for 2024 at no additional cost. So still waiting on that to happen. Once that does I would def give this car wash 5 stars!


May 06, 2024

This place sucks. Paid $40+ for interior wash. They took a long time to clean and I still had to tell them they didn’t wipe down any of the screens in my car and forgot my tire shine. I also tipped them 7$ right away when I got out my car so the poor service was extremely disappointing. I was heading out for a road trip and didn’t have time to clean my car myself so I figured I’d support local business but damn this place is basically a ripoff. Please avoid

Great job on the headlight reconditioning!


Apr 06, 2024

Great staff, great service.

Signed up for monthly plan on my second time here. These people leaving one star reviews need to know the difference between their car being detailed and washed. You are getting a car wash not your car detailed. I must say I went to mobile one (their employees fight non stop and have an atttiude) on mill plain and a couple others before choosing where to get monthly plan and this one was the best out of the other 3 I tried over the last couple months. The people that work there are very nice and you’re in and out and I think they do a pretty good job personally. If I got a touch up a thing here or thing it’s the norm not a big deal. I have zero complaints about Freds. The people complaining are the ones who can’t even change a light bulb in their house ignore the stupidity. They do a good job for a fair price.

Advertising free vacs with a wash and none of the vacuums work


Mar 06, 2024

They take their time and do a great job when cleaning the interior.


Mar 06, 2024

Went there last Saturday. Paid for the most expensive and complete wash, they didn’t take care of inspecting or anything that would say something might be broken by the brushes. Result. Broke my car rear deflectors. I told the manager who was rude and said with attitude that they wouldn’t cover it because was aftermarket accessories. I don’t recommend at all. Poor service and very rude crew. Doesn’t worth the hassle. If I could I would rate less than one star.


Feb 06, 2024

Best Car Wash around with decent pricing and the staff does a great job with interior


Feb 06, 2024

Best in town!


Feb 06, 2024

Cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff here is. I came in with a seriously dirty jeep post off-roading. Hector and Jesus were welcoming, amenable and helpful, taking a big chunk out of their day to work on it. The car looks better than it did off the lot! Highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a first class customer experience!


Feb 06, 2024

Hi. Thought I was a valued monthly subscriber to this car wash until they called the police on me for using the vacuum. they assumed I didn’t have a monthly pass. Police officer came up to me interrupting my Sunday wash and vac. won’t be returning and cancelled my subscription I’ve had for numerous years. Only one of there vacuums work the first one near entrance. And mechanical car wash sucks still bunch of dirt on my vehicle every time and leave scratches on my vehicle I would give them no stars if I could.Their are plenty other car washes in the area that value there customers.


Feb 06, 2024

Stay away! Terrible rude service, paid for interior that wasn't even wiped, streaky windows, item on my front seat (clearly not trash) was taken. The attitude of Jesus the manager who was unapologetic, argumenative, called me a liar and hung up. No longer a repeat customer.


Feb 06, 2024

Thank you Dan and crew for taking the scratches out of my black BMW and making it Perfect. Hard to find people that are talented with black cars. These guys are the best. Thank you. Highly recommend!!!


Feb 06, 2024

They did a terrible job of the interior, there was dirt on center console, doors and seat. For how expensive it was I could have done a better job myself. Won't go back.


Feb 06, 2024

Visited the area from out of town. The crew at the car wash were working relentlessly to move cars through the wash. The hustle by them was amazing, as well as the quality of the car wash.


Feb 06, 2024

Your average drive-through car wash. It's better than one star, but definitely not five stars.


Feb 06, 2024

hi.I just left this car wash and the owner is a very rude person. you can tell by his/her responses in the reviews if you scroll down. I was also their last weekend and he called the cops on a guy with a monthly pass simply trying to vacuum his car. I saw the whole exchange. as far as car wash it is one star worthy have to go thru multiple times for car to be clean. the vacuums do not work. you pay monthly for free vac but they do not work only one out of the three work. I do not recommend this place poor service rude owner and staff. do not waste your money for poor quality.
