American Speed Wash

I am forever a loyal customer of American Speed Wash, Gilbert Road, just north of the 60 highway, Mesa, AZ. $ 3.00 car wash.
I had a confusion of rewards… Ryan, the manager took complete and total care of issues. Resolved everything to my utmost satisfaction and made good on promises. When you find young men in business that care for coroner relations more than anything, I suggest that we all take heed.
A car wash is on every corner, but a quality business is hard to find.
$ 3.00 car wash, Gilbert Road for value.

Vacuum system has no power. This is a decent car wash, comparable price to others in town. However, their vacuum system is awful. There is no suction power and so it takes forever to vacuum out your car. Might as well go somewhere else with friendlier staff and better vacuums.

I learned about American Speed Wash from driving past it every day since moving across country to Mesa this past June. The first time I went through the wash was to clean off the bugs and road dirt I picked up between Minnesota and here. Believe me the car was filthy dirty. The car came out clean and I was definitely very happy with the quality of the wash. Also on that first visit the attendant told me about their monthly special and I signed-​up before leaving that day.
Today, I needed to cancel my membership because I was involved in a collision with my 2014 Dodge Journey. I stopped in and explained the situation to Robert and asked him to cancel my subscription. In less than an hour I received a call from the owner, who asked about my condition and assured me that they would be willing to work with me and cancelled my membership immediately. I assured him that it is not because of the quality of their service that I needed to cancel, but because of the damage caused from the collision… And, yes indeed, I plan to get a new subscription with my new vehicle.
Since the first time I used their service, the employees have always been courteous, cheerful, friendly, and respectful. I highly recommend American Speed Wash to anyone looking for a reputable place of doing business. Several of my friends also signed up for the monthly special and have been going to American Speed Wash for several months as well.

We went here for a quick car wash at 10:30 am on a Saturday. There was a line of 7 cars (we were the second car). There was a gentleman who worked there pushing a trash can and said nothing. Finally I get out to ask if they are open and he says
Yes but it takes time??? I told him he should tell the 5 other people in line. Rude, non helpful and certainly no business sense. I will NEVER come here again.

They advertise a $ 3 wash, but the fine print when you pull in says that’s only for a «light wash.» From there, prices jump to $ 7 for a basic wash; $ 2 higher than a much better car wash just ½ mile south (on the northwest corner of Gilbert and Baseline).
What I noticed is that the dryer at the end of the wash is very strong! It’s TOO strong! It blew out a gasket that runs along the channels in the roof of my car… I don’t know how else to describe it. And it scared me to death! There I sat, enjoying the car wash, but getting a bit concerned as the car went through the dryer. And then, all of a sudden, something flies off my car. I freak out! I was so worried about what could have come dislodged. And I wondered if I’d be able to recover it. I also thought the windshield wiper was going to blow off the car! It did not. Thankfully they had a guy there who knew how to fix the gasket issue, which is the only reason I considered giving them 2 stars, but in the end my experience was so annoying that I stuck with just 1 star. I suggested they dial back that dry setting so that it’s something less than a tornado. He said what happened to my car happens all the time, which is probably why he’s so adept at putting that gasket back where it belongs.
I again suggested they dial back the strength of the dryer and he just blew me off. I even told him I’d do a Unilocal review to warn other potential customers to take their money elsewhere. He didn’t seem to care one little bit. So, I’ll take my car and my money elsewhere. I share this story to try and save other folks the panic of seeing something fly off the car while in the car wash. Honestly, you can get the same basic wash just down the street for $ 4.99. I’ll go there in the future. And no, I am not affiliated with that car wash.
