Hamden Wash & Wax

It’s hard to screw up a car wash, but they managed. They knew it was broken but kept it open. Brushes on the right side weren’t working, I only noticed when I had to fold out my mirror and it was obvious the right side of my truck had not been cleaned. When I asked for a refund they initially refused but admitted they knew the car machinery was broken. I got my refund but I wonder how many people didn’t notice and paid for half a car wash.

A great and convenient car service. I was in desperate need for a car wash and stumbled upon this service on my way to work. Very fast, friendly and efficient service.
This service is very reasonably priced and in addition you can even get a discount on gas with every car wash purchased.
One negative to the service is the confusion of the parking area. Especially once you come out of the wash to get your car fully dried and wheels cleaned, there is no one directing traffic or where you should go. Something this service could definitely work on.

I went with 2 coupons. I wanted gas and a wash. I had bird poop on my windshield, the man at the window told me first he was not sure if they would get it all, then he said they will try. I Pumped gas and went back to pay I was told at that time that It should have been explained that you have to get a more expensive wash to get the discount on gas. I was pissed off I told him to cancel his car wash and here you can have all of the coupons I will not be back. I paid the more expensive gas. They didn’t care that for about 80 cents they lost a Hamden resident customer for gas and washes from now on. What cheap people for me it was a matter of integrity. If you use their wash or gas be on the look out they make coupons and don’t want you to use them and look for other things.

GREAT re-​vamp! The only reason they are not getting five stars is the vacuum suction power is on the light side. Otherwise, it’s a really good deal. Not the best, but great value for the money.

Seems like a decent wash. They offer detailing packages, I didn’t use that, just the regular wash (mid-​level package). It’s partly done by a person with a brush, partly done by a large machine like many car washes use. It is not a touch-​less/​brush-​less wash, so if you want that, their machine wash would not be for you. Their wash pads thump on your car pretty good, be aware. You’ll get a token so you can use the vacuums for free after.

I was there today and when it was inside the car wash I saw my wheel move a bit on its own and my SUV got off the track somehow. At this point, the car wash was stopped, the people came over and I immediately said «it swerved off the track» and they said in a rude suspicious tone «trust me, I know. Now keep it in neutral and don’t press the brakes». I feel like an apology would have been better. I literally did not press anything. And my car was in neutral. The passive aggression was real. In fact, when I was sitting there I was busy texting a friend a picture of the giant typo on your sign. You know, the one that says «credit cards excepted» instead of «credit cards accepted». Anyway, my car is still wet since I couldn’t properly complete the wash. Worst $ 8.99 I’ve ever spent. I could have washed it better with a toothbrush.

Best I’ve ever been to .If you give the guys a decent tip they were really take care of your car inside and out and only for $ 18. Best to go when not crowded as they will give you extra time including cleaning gum off your seats or tar off of your fenders. I highly recommend it and often go here in lieu of having an express wax or even full detailing elsewhere.

Okay, so the gas is pretty cheap. $ 2.68 with any wash over $ 8.99. They have 4 levels of basic washes and some detailing options. My car look clean, but I do question their actual car wash for its cleanliness. The pads looked like they had cleaned cars for years without ever being cleaned themselves and seem like they ilhit your car pretty hard. This might be a problem for old cars with rust or chipped paint I thought I’d give this place a try since it’s close to where I live, but I think I’m going back to the touch free wash in Branford from now on. If this doesn’t bother you, then more power to you!

I pass by this location every day but had never come here to get a car wash. Until I needed the chunks of snow and ice that were frozen solid in my wheel wells removed. I popped in on my way to work, and was pleasantly surprised. They sell gas at this location, offering good deals with a car wash package. They have a lot of vacuums pre-​wash. There was no line, the guys are very good at getting your car done quickly. There is one guy I don’t remember his name, but he was so friendly and very helpful! I paid for my wash service, I also got a sheet of coupons, as well as a frequent buyer card, and a token for the vacuum. Oh how I love free goodies! I put my car through the wash, found the «scented wash soap» interesting… Not really sure why one would need the soap to be scented when it gets washed right off, but hey! I can’t complain. I also had the underbody wash which combined with the pre-​wash managed to get off all the ice blocks from said car. My car came out spotless, and you can’t beat the air dry at the end. And the best surprise at the end, was the hand dry by one of the guys! No streaks! I will definitely be visiting this place again. They take credit cards, and are open rain or shine. Or snow.
