Berts Car Wash

They use to be more efficient. Had to wait almost an hour. Instead of having cars come in back to back, they just let one in at a time and delays the process. No manager on the premises just a couple of youngsters talking and not paying any attention ti how the business is running. I see them loosing if they keep this up. Btw, they guys driving the cars to get them dried off are hustling. Actually they are the only ones really working.

I never thought I’d post about a car wash but these guys just cleaned the heck out of my car… I literally yelled out loud it looks so good. It was like one of those TV shows where they have footage of your old and dirty car and then they magically cut to a shot of your newly cleaned and detailed and revamped car. Bert’s Car Wash is highly recommended!

I just came from Bert’s Car Wash. It’s a sunny day, so it was busy and they couldn’t take my car in for a much needed interior detailing. Seeing I was dismayed, the gave me a free car wash that was so good — the interior so thoroughly wiped down — that I may not need an interior detailing as bad as I thought! Now one thing’s for sure, when I need it, I’m taking it to Bert’s.

This was my go to spot, because of time and quality wash. But as of late the service have been worst. Car is still dirty after a ultimate wash and the guys don’t wipe car down like they use too, Windows are still streaky. Going back to my hand wash spot and there high prices, at least the car will be clean. Pick it up guys

I got the Ultimate wash today and my car still has dirt on it. In addition, the trim on my driver’s side window is now coming off.

This has to be one of the better car washes in the city if nothing more for the fact that I don’t feel skeeved out by going alone. The city uses them to wash their fleet vehicles so there are often CTA and CPD vehicles going through. It’s not a hand car wash (and that’s reflected in the price) but they towel dry. Like any service oriented business, I find you get a bit more service when you give up some green. I don’t think they were holding back, but a few times they’ve gone a little beyond with cleaning if I tipped early enough. Again, I really appreciate how safe and comfortable I feel coming here.
Tuesday’s ladies get $ 3.50 off their wash.

Is it me or is this place lost it’s luster? I notice they skimp on detailing interior. It seems like they do not wipe down anything windows are still dirty from the inside. What gives Bert? I need to find a new place.

Poor quality wash inside and out. Paid $ 15 plus tip and left to go to another car wash directly after to actually get the car washed inside and out.

I was in a rush so I came here. I MUCH prefer hand car washes and I didn’t do enough research to realize this wasn’t it. They take your car through a machine with cloth brushes — like you would find at a gas station. Afterwards, they have a crew of guys to dry the exterior, polish the wheels, vacuum the interior, etc. It’s all really quick but nothing special. Check online for specials — and make sure to tell the cashier otherwise you’ll pay full price for no reason.
Ultimate Wash (the highest level) is $ 9.50 vs. $ 15 through March 2016. No need to print it out… just tell the cashier.
Tuesdays is ladies day — $ 3.50 off any wash.

Excellent fast service plus good price. I got my car waxed and it looks so new. They did great job every time when I go there.

It’s cheap and quick, and that’s about it. Keep your expectations low. When it comes to drying they are lazy and bad. It’s a simple car thing, but you use a different (preferably dry) towel to dry the windows than you do the rest of the car.
Frustrating at most times. But convenient.

For someone who has gone too many places for a car wash, I figured the entrance would be around the block. There had been no sign as to where the entrance was at. though for a thumps up, entering my car to get washed was extremely quick. Once my car was out the machines, about 4 men began hand drying my car, along with the inside. As for the quality of the interior, it was mediocre, thus my 4 stars. Again $ 13 for an ultimate wash wasn’t so bad! I would like to emphasize on the exterior, great job!

I recently got 6 cars detailed here and they did a wonderful job. I would definitely visit again. However, my one complaint was that I had 4 cars brought there for a full detail and they were closed at a time they should be open. There was no sign in the window and nothing on their website or voicemail to indicate a reason for not being open. I called the next day and they said that they close when it is raining. I was frustrated as it was a large inconvenience for my drivers trying to find a similar car wash with comparable prices nearby. I would suggest making it known on the website or voicemail in the future.

Great detailed Job on my car, Excellent customer service. Fast reliable service and reasonable prices.

Fast, good hand wax, cheap for the area.
I go a few times per year for the hand wax and once a week in the winter for a classic car wash. You have to be clear about what service you’re ordering: it’s a car wash, not a detail. There are usually still coffee stains on the cupholder and salt stains on the carpet when I get the vehicle back — you’re getting a armor-​all sprits and quick wipe on the dash, a quick vacuum of the seats and if you pay a few dollars extra they’ll take the floor mats out and hose them down. That’s it, unless you pay for a full detail so keep your expectations in line.
And it’s a machine wash with a touch system and a hand dry after. Just FYI.
That being said, you’re not paying for a complete detail and the exterior is generally well done. And quick. And they’ll call you when your vehicle is ready if you’re having a wax done, so you can go to Sip around the corner and relax. So for my purposes it’s a good quick clean. And the touch-​wash machine has not ever left a scratch.

Always have a special for the Ultimate Wash. They always do a great job. Great car wash. Be prepared to wait in line on a nice day.

Good prices, fast wash, clean job. People there are nice. This place is easy and my car is looking spiffy. Recommended!

I take my company car here all the time. Always a nice job.
Last spring they noticed that my carpeted floor mats were all salty and they cleaned them. No charge. Nice.
Sometimes there’s a line but it moves fairly quick.

I have to laugh at some of these reviews. People expect a full detailing for $ 15!!! Get real people. A full detailing will cost you $ 150 here in Chicago.
Why am I giving them 5 stars? Because the customer service is really good. If you are not happy or they missed a spot, kindly ask the gentlemen or the manager inside and they will gladly address the situation. With that being said for $ 15, I think that it is a solid wash, hand dry, vacuum/​wash my floor mats, and clean my wheels/​tires.
You have to set your expectations. Also, twice a year I take my car to get a hand wax for $ 30. Seriously, they will wash and wax your car for $ 30! Best deal around. I even moved 5 miles away when I moved up to Bucktown, and still go out of my way to get over to Bert’s Car Wash.
If you are looking for a complete detail for $ 15 good luck, yes you will be disappointed. But if you are realistic and spend the $ 15 it is a very solid wash.

Good service
Great prices
On weekends there’s a line lots of the time
