Clean Freak Car Wash

Writing this review as a former fast pass customer. 1. I am writing this review because I am thinking within the next 24 – 48 hours something is going to go wrong with my car or my tires are going to go flat. maybe worse. I had this kid try to direct me on to their conveyor belt like thing. Which I have done 100 times with my car. He did not tell me to turn me wheels in any correct manner so it’s turned me car quickly and I rolled down my window to ask a question before he motioned if my car was in neutral. The machine started forcing my car where it felt like something was destruction the bottom. I won’t be surprise if something is wrong which in case it’ll be back talking to somebody. 2. The guy at the front was nice but tried to get me to join a fast pass membership again. He held me up for a little longer helping some people in the fast pass line when he already had my debit card in hand and charged. 3. He gave me the wrong receipt. 4. I came back around and asked for me correct receipt which did not state they charged me 9.00 and 5. He apologized and then gave me somebody else receipt. 6. I got stuck in the middle of their conveyor with cars stuck as well behind me. Yes I’ve seen final destination. It was a tad freaky! I know there are bigger issues in life then this bad experience with Clean Freak today but this review is incase something is screwed up with my car. Then I will be back

It wouldn’t even take bird poop off my hood. I guess if you want to pay the money to use the vacuum then go for it. They suck as hard as the wash does

Horrible. I paid 2 months and then I canceled. 3 times I’ve tried going and either the machine was broke or the entire location was closed because of weather… There was a bit of overcast but no rain and no puddles of any kind around the building. On top of it it closes too early, i get out of work at 7 and that’s when they close I live kinda far, I’m usually in the area but its not worth it if I can’t ever use it!

I use this place all the time. I purchased the freaky clean package and use it 1 – 2 times /​week to keep my car clean.
No complaints here

Good basic wash. Long wait on a Saturday afternoon. Beware: basic wash is no longer $ 3. It is raised to $ 5.

Clean Freak oh clean freak… I am a clean freak…
Star 1: Fast pass allows you to typically blow past the line and get in and out in a hurry, drawback… staff does not pay attention to the gate and often times it is left up in the other lane while they are still conversing or working with the non fast pass people hence holding you up and defeating the purpose of a fast pass.
Star 2: With a membership you can run thru the wash more then once, and considering the wash is pretty good but on some days the washer fluid is a little low and they are not on top of their game, you can tell because you don’t get the rainbow of colored soaps… you just get one soapy color with hints of the other stuff.
Star 3: Free vacuums. This is great, they are pretty powerful… draw back… let me listen to my stereo loud… people are vacuuming, you can’t hear shit anyway so why not let me turn it up, I am not a drive by shooter.
Why they didn’t get 5 stars.
I started going here when this place first opened, and low and behold at the end of the wash the blowers use to move, up and down, they were not always stationary and you were sure you car was completely dry… considering I drive a large truck, since this has broke… for quite some time now it no longer dries my truck as good there fore leaving ugly water stains behind, and a ton of water on my roof… not good. This has been broken for over a year… I don’t believe they have any plans to fix it.
Secondly letting people smoke in the area were you vacuum your cars… hello I am there to get my car smelling fresh and clean so the guy sitting next to me smoking a cigarette as he vacuums out his taxi, kind of defeats the purpose, the fact that the staff will come tell me to turn my stereo down but not say anything and to let this living cancer stick stink up the whole parking lot is a joke to me and almost makes this a 2 star rating… but I do like this place, the staff is mostly friendly and it is convenient… but it could be a bit better… I downgraded my package due to these factors from the $ 26 package to the $ 19 package, I miss not getting my tires greased and the extra protective coats on my truck… but they need to fix their shit and get the smoker’s under control before I pay top dollar again.

Phoenix is a very dusty place. It’s important to find a a good car wash that is a good value. I had a monthly membership and made good use of it.
The car wash does an excellent job of cleaning. I also appreciate the free dash wipes and air freshener. The vacuums work well. The air hoses are great, too.
One of my favorite experiences is the fast pass lane. I do not have to hassle with paying at each visit; just drive up to the pass detector and the gate opens.
If I return to Phoenix, I will definitely get my car washes here again.

I used to love this company.

I love clean freak, the price is great, the wash is great but I really wish they would put more signage up so dumbass people don’t get into the fast pass lane and hold up the whole line because they don’t know how it works. It’s my biggest complaint every single time I come here!

I’ve gone to clean freaks for about a year now at the one off camelback and this one on 44^th for only 3months. been a fast pass user that was good. Use to have an Audi that was silver had no noticeable problems. Until I just bought a 2015 black Honda accord sport. Car has 1500 miles bought it with 33 miles only had it 2 months it’s 100% brand new not a scratch. So I’ve been coming to this location to get my wash. I have more then one issue with them.
1) the car wash doesn’t clean my front end very well it leaves dirt on it still.
2) spins so fast it knocks my side view mirrors around and turns them.
3) leaves swirl marks all over my new car
4) I have 3 scratches from the wash on my driver door and my roof
5) air blowers barley get the water off your car
Knowing they wouldn’t most likely own up to the scratches and the other problems I stated I canceled my membership. On top of me canceling 7 days before my end of month I got charged for another month?!
Id rather go to a hand/​do it yourself wash then get a subpar car wash that is to rough on your car.
Was a fan when I had an old car that I couldn’t notice the damage this car wash does until I got a new car and saw how this car wash really treats a cars paint.
I WOULD AVOID GOING TO CLEAN FREAKS IF YOU ENJOY YOUR CARS PAINT AND WELL BEING.

It’s a car wash, people. No magic carpet ride. They’re not gonna pimp your ride. It’s a $ 3 hose-​off and cloth-​smacking for your car. Perhaps because I don’t have a fond connection to my vehicle is why I’m fine coming here periodically and getting it cleaned off. Is it a perfect wash? For $ 3, I’m happy. While the vacuums seem to work well, I’m typically too lazy to use them. I mean, it’s just a car.

Got a gift certificate and went to the wash on E via Linda. Choosing was complicated. Didn’t know how much was on the card. Selected a Carnauba wash for $ 15 before I was done the ticket printed.
For $ 15 just to drive thru a wash is an absolute rip off. Windows not wiped. Left with spots. Bird crap still on the car and not even a hand dry or vacuum!!! When I asked the guy in the lane about the c=vacuum he told me it would be another $ 6!!!
For $ 15 I can get a complete outside wash, hand dry and vacuum and the windows would be clean — ANYWHERE IN THE VALLEY.
A total rip off. Only reason I would return is to use the balance on the card.
Disgusting. As for you manager on duty, he needs a couple of lessons in customer service. Instead of trying to help, for 5 minutes argued with me I chose the wrong wash. Instead of saying come back and we will make it right.

This is the best car wash I have been too. The only problem is really high prices. Also needs more vacuums otherwise the vacuums work well. They have everything you need.

Well I paid $ 15 for the best wash. Didn’t seem like anything different than what everyone else was getting? Went through the wash then had to vacuum my own car. That was it, then I left.
My car was still dirty and I had to go back and clean my tires, wipe it down BC there was a bunch of little stuff still on the car and spray my tires with my own shine. Might as well done it all myself at home for free or gone through a gas station car wash. Won’t be going back.

I am a fast-​pass member and pay $ 16 per month for unlimited washes. The line is never too bad unless you get a person who joins the wrong line and clogs it all up! Each wash comes with a scented toilette to wash your dash board and a fragrance pad (Cherry or Blue Ocean) to top it off. I had to dock a star for how crowded the vacuums are. The company allows for anyone to utilize the service but it causes extremely long lines for the people that did end up paying!

I am currently waiting in the fast pass line… and have been for 40 minutes. Looks like the car wash broke and there is NO procedure in place to get us out of the line.

Very friendly staff, free wash if I don’t like it within a couple of days, very quick lane, modern cool equipment, free vacuum and the air for tires. The only thing missing is the interior wash. Despite of that I’m giving this business 5 stars.

Clean Freak does everything it promises: it cleans your car in three minutes. The price point is a little high ($ 5) considering a mile away there is a $ 3 car wash, but if you ask, they provide blue rags for dusting off the interior.
Further, a friendly employee will take your payment, unlike the automated kiosk at the cheaper place, which requires you to drive up super close, unbuckle your seat belt, and stretch your torso out the window, while grunting, in order to insert your credit card.
In general, car washes seem to have either a large brush that rolls up the windshield, or a big hanging wipe that sloshes back and forth. Clean Freak has the former and it just doesn’t quite have enough force to get off the most stubborn bird poop. You can scrape it off before rolling in, with a provided squeegee, but that slightly defeats the purpose of the automated car wash.

This is pretty much a no brainer. It’s Arizona. It gets very hot and very dry. Your car is bound to get dirty and you just can’t rely on the rain to help you clean it off.
The Clean Freak Car Wash is your basic drive through car wash. Someone will check you in and take your money, then you drive the car through the wash yourself. I much prefer this to the old fashioned car washes where you had to leave the car and wait around while it goes through the wash cycle. After you exit the building you pull up to the self serve vacuum cleaners and detail the inside to your own high (or low) standards.
A basic car wash at Clean Freak costs $ 5. A monthly pass, which allows you to wash your car as often as you wish, is only $ 16. If I lived here, I would absolutely sign up for the monthly pass. You can order fancier washes with more buttons and whistles (those are metaphorical buttons and whistles) at a slightly higher price.
I may not live in Phoenix, but I DO live in Bakersfield, California, so I know a thing or two about staying cool in spite of a sizzling summer sun. I drive a dark colored car, so during the summer the interior can be pretty hot when I first get in. Back home I am on the unlimited wash plan, so during the hot months I leave 5 minutes early and get my car washed on my way to where I am going. It lowers the interior and exterior temperature of my car quickly, making it much more comfortable to be in. My air conditioner blows cooler after I have been through the wash, too. My external temperature display will go down anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees within 5 minutes of leaving the car wash!
Take that sizzling summer heat!

This is a very good drive-​through car wash. It’s not full service, you ride in your car through the automated tunnel and then do the interior yourself.
The machine does a very good job on cars, but only an OK job on larger vehicles with large tires. The tire shine doesn’t cover the 35″ tires on my Jeep or on the pickup I had before it. But it does a great job on our Z4 and other normal-​sized vehicles.
The monthly pass is a good deal if you’re near this area often.
TIP: On Mondays after rainy/​dirty weekends, the place is packed and takes a long time.
