Water pressure is great and its a quick and easy last minute clean up after a good rain or a few hours parked under a tree full of birds!

Gave 5 stars.. But sometimes we can use a little encouragement.Potholes on the backside of the building. Grounds werent tidy. Bays were dirty. Personal opinion---> The hoses for the pressure wash was too short. Lighting at night was on the dim side.Not here to knock anyone down. As humans we all can give some encouragement.Pros: Credit card machine. Working equipment on the self wash. Ended up with a clean truck & trailer. Thanks guys.Vehicle transporter. I get washes all over the country.Instagram: eight58transportingBusiness card below.

Very convenient location from my shop. Easy access to the was stations and vacuums. Well-working spray wands and ample soap and tire cleaner. Definitely worth the money and will be back! Thanks for making my work truck sparkly clean!!!

Got my car sparkly clean with the auto wash. All the pretty colors!

Auto wash was terrible! Went through the cyclone thinking you know, some sort of pressure.. couldn’t even get the leaves off the car or the bugs off the front grill. Not to mention that “triple foam” literally sprayed a quarter of my car and nothing else. Then yeah let me “dry your car” aka push water around and only dry about half of it. Literally beyond miserable with the experience at this car wash. Absolutely horrendous. Will never return.

I paid for a deluxe wash in the cyclone wash and this was 2nd time it broke down on me in middle of wash,I had to pay extra to wash by hand, its worth the extra drive time which isnt far to get to a descent car wash.

A little pricey for a non-touch car wash but still it did an exceptional well with washing, waxing, and drying my car. They have many self service bays that work and have scrub brushes and interior floor mat carpet cleaners. This place has definitely gotten better since the last time I was here. 🚗🧼🧼

This place is perfect for hands on cleaning if you prefer to DIY. Very reasonable, not busy in early afternoon.

This is one of the few car washes around that is well taken care of and has fully functional equipment. If you like self service car washing, this is the spot to do it.

This is one of the best self service car washes Ive been to, and thats saying a lot, as Im super picky about detailing my car. Pressure is usually great, and the guys there never have a problem with me bucket washing my car! Thanks Sparkle Clean!

It’s local car wash I don’t use much can’t say anything bad.I was just there like less the 30 mins ago and it charged my car 10 at the last one. It would be fine if it was 5 bucks. I can’t come to you guys if you are going to take that much off my car. I really using you guys but 10 dollars is high when I can go to Karns or Powell and do for 2 bucks and they have trigloss. That pushed a line with me I feeling you stole from me. I will not continue service if going to be like that for sure I’m sorry but I am already having bad day and cleaning my car helps with my anxiety. So yeah I will not be going back if that how it going to be.

Went to 2 different vacuums and both took our money but would not work. So essentially the company is taking money without services rendered.

50% chance any of the machines work, 100% chance no one will mark machines out of order or give you a refund

Review №18

I used this wssh on a busy day... Stalls were dirty. High preasure soap didnt put out much soap at all. Scrubbing brush on the other hand had lots of soap and worked well. Conveniently accepts credit cards if you forgot your change.

I enjoy the cleanliness of this business I enjoy how the machinery works properly Ive come to this car wash on and off for about 20 years it seems, I live in strawberry plains I used to live right theyre on Central Ave, the only reason I gave you the 4 out of 5 stars is because I felt like the back of the business could have been lit up just a little bit better maybe, consider doing that one day please . I like the fact that there is cameras everywhere for my safety and for the business itself hopefully you guys will install at least one light in the back area and I will update my review to a 5 * as I want to thank you guys very much for staying in business using great chemicals and great machinery to keep our vehicles looking good...If ANYONE finds this review helpful then please click the thumbs up button below therefore it helps me get the word out for each business even more considering Im an 8* out of 10* Google Reviewer and my reviews reach 5.9 million people so far so give me a thumbs up please if this is helpful

Very easy to get your car cleaned up!

Cost $9.00 to wash my car. The good thing is that you are in control of washing your vehicle. Brushes were clean. Perfect for those who dont have access to a outside faucet. Give it a try. Your life will be a little brighter.

This car wash if iffy! Most the time a vac does not work. People still bucket wash and hold up others with all the extra things they are doing. Have had to call attention to an attendee if there. Also lots of drug dealing going on. Side, back and sometimes in the wash area! Have almost called 911 when sitting and watching transactions. Ive even found small sealed baggies at vac when I get out to vac, drugs. Watch your back and dont go after dark!

Always clean! One of the last

None of the automatic car washes worked. Run down.

They now only allow debit cards to pay for the vacuum, which I dont like. But they charged my card 10 dollars to vacuum out my car for less than 5 minutes.

The undercarriage wash is too short for this time of year. My car is small but it still wasnt clean all over.

Review №31

I love it here. The place is clean, the chemicals do a great job getting the car clean, and you can add 30 seconds for every quarter (instead of a whole $1.50 for three minutes). Oh and they take card too. I come here with five bucks and leave with a clean car, inside and out!My only recommendation would be to improve the lighting in the parking lot and bays, but it wasnt really an issue.

Vacuums were being serviced. They needed it. This is my new place to wash my car. Clean. Good water pressure.

Review №34

Great customer service. Terrible equipment. Cant say Ill be coming back. I think its hilarious that the billboard says it was voted Knoxvilles best self service car wash in 2019. Because it clearly is not that in 2020.

Review №37

Its OK. Everything works, except I never hear the 1 minute remaining alarm on the self wash stalls. Self wash is 3:00 minutes for $1.50. I wish it was 4 minutes, or even 3:30, but what can you do?

Ke
Review №38

Great wash today of an 11 foot tall bucket/boom truck that I was delivering to a customer in town. Pressure was excellent and the soap brush put out lots of soap! Super car wash!

Trash can we’re being service which is good cause they were all full, but one vacuum took my money so I tried another and the suction was not very good . Second time I tried this place cause I live close but won’t be coming back.

Review №43

Machine at the touchless wash took my money twice once via credit card and once cash without providing the wash service it was supposed to. Will not use it again. No way to get your money returned and this is a very poor way to do business.

Super clean, the owner takes excellent care of the place. Friendly and helpful staff. The soap cleans my SUV thoroughly. I go here regularly and would not anywhere else. I had a dirty car, now its sparkle clean!

Review №47

Touch less car wash kept my 7 dollars no sign saying it was broken I emailed the address on building havent heard anything back from them, hopefully they will refund I even paid with a card so itd be easy but if I get a refund Ill update and charge my rating of this place. Things break thats understandable just give a refund and Ill post 5 stars for doing the right thing... Talked to the mananger on email that read Hello, Im the manager of Sparkle Clean Car wash. I had been away from the wash for the long weekend. I was made aware of your problem last night. To fix the issue I can do one of two thing. I can give you a $14 code to get 2 $7 wash. Or I can give you a cash refund of $7. Awesome they did the right thing, happy to change the one star to a five star rating!

Review №51

First time here, simple car wash that I had to rush thru..Had some issues with the card reader but it has resolved, my only issue now is the responses over email seemed like they just report to Google and try to have any bad reviews taken down. Inthe exact words I will be contacting Google to remove your review Im an avid reviewer and mystery shopper and so I sent an email with my problem, but as I have 3 jobs, I do not have the time to get on my phone every day. The response I received last was that they were going to report my review because I did not reply in just 2 days. Sorry but if that were the case then there would be no true reviews on Google. Try to have a little patience

Always a great place to really clean and detail your vehicle without being rushed away.

Paid for the automated touchless carwash, once I pulled in the machine started and sprayed soapy water but never moved toward the truck to actually wash anything.Edit: 5 stars for very responsive customer service and I went back on the evening of 4-3-19 and everything worked as expected.

I’ve been to this touchless car wash 3 times in the past week and the automatic bays are blocked off. Disappointing when you drive around just trying to find a car wash.

Ho
Review №58

Price is good but doesnt stay on long enough to power wash the whole vehicle on one time so it takes two times at least to wash your vehicle and same to rinse the vehicle .

Not many spray and washes that arent automatic these days but this one is great! If you want a truly ckean car visit sparkle clean and use a brush!

Went to wash truck and went to rinse the soap off with water and kept getting soap out out of the rinse. Probably spent $10 trying to get all soap off of truck.

Review №67

Went to wash my car and vacuum it. Vacuum worked well, decent suction. The automatic car wash took my money and started but when I got up to where you stop the machine told me to back up, so I did, and when I pulled forward it told me to exit. Wasted $7.

Good that its touchless, but the automatic washers blowers could be a bit stronger. Maybe one more dry cycle would do the trick.

The self-service options also include two touchless automatic wash bays...perfect for a quick wash when youre in a hurry and want to get the bulk of the road grunge off without loading your precious paint up with scratches from abrasive brushes.

Review №83

Expensive. Good chemicals, clean facility, I just don’t feel the time allowed for the cost is fair. Less expensive for me to take my truck and have it cleaned and a “full service” car wash.

Not a bad set up, plenty to get the job down

Review №85

Paid 10.00 for their best automatic wash, checked out the van afterwards and was disappointed the tires were still dirty and the bottom half of the van still had dirt on it. When I pulled into the bay to wash it i noticed that the whole car needed to be washed.Six dollars later I washed it, took six dollars because the pressure was not great and time was short.

Paid for a touchless deluxe wash and hardly put water on my car with soap suds left over. Tried calling the number and its no longer in service. Touchless is right... The water on your car is literally touchless
