I have been coming here for years (when it was Summit Car Wash). The old owner and business was amazing; I always left with my car looking brand new and the prices were unbeatable. I received a free car wash flyer in the mail for Team Car Wash. I decided to try it out, figuring they would be just as good as the old car wash. I have to say the staff who helped us were very kind, when I left I noticed a big scuff mark on my passenger door and was trying to wipe it when a gentleman came right over and removed it completely without me even asking! He was very kind, even opened the door for me to get in my car!I got the works package but didnt realize until I left that my car looked as if it wasnt vacuumed or cleaned. The seats, dashboard screen, carpets, doors and cup holders were filthy. Also I noticed the tire shine they used was not nearly as good as what Summit Car Wash had used.I was super disappointed as this place is less than a mile from my home and we always came here. Unfortunately with how high the prices are and the low quality of work, I do not recommend going here. The only good thing that came out of this experience was the employees who were working hard and kind. It seems like maybe the new owner has given them a time limit to get people in and out, resulting in low quality. I hope things change in the future because everyone I talk to in Summit feels the same way and we hope the quality here will improve so we can all return one day!

My car was finished within five minutes and quite frankly it was the worst car wash I’ve ever taken any of the cars I’ve ever owned for. Summit car wash was the best car wash around!! Team car wash has a lot to live up to. My car has dirt spots all over it. The dashboard and centre console wasn’t dusted or polished. The inside of the doors weren’t wiped down and the windows were more streaky than before I took my car there to be washed and cleaned. I was also annoyed when I found my car aerial on the front passenger seat. I’m assuming they removed it so it didn’t get damaged, but that should have been put back in as they didn’t ask my permission if they could remove it. I had to ask a friend to put it back in for me as I was unable to reach the back of my car to screw the aerial back in, try as I might. I am sorely disappointed as now I’m going to have to find a good car wash place. I’m just glad that my first car wash was free. The staff are friendly and hard working, the star goes to them!

I read both positive and negative reviews before going and must say, they listen to their customers! The cleaning was spotless inside and out! The person in charge was very nice and very attentive to details. I needed some extra cleaning on my Dads car and they did everything just perfect! Very quick, too! The place was quite busy on a weekday — always a good sign. Fantastic business, will go there again!

This place leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing like the old Summit carwash. Bugs on the front end of the car and side mirrors, soap spots all over the hood and sides, tire dressing barely noticeable. Really inferior quality.

Spent $30 on “the works” package tipped $10 specifically asked for the inside to be wiped down, they said no problem and no water marks out of the trunk and tire shine done twice. By the time I got home I realized the inside wasn’t wiped when 4 people jumped in the car to supposedly wipe it down, my back mats were just thrown into the car. Spent an additional hour of my own time wiping down and recleaning my car. Waste of time and money, I usually don’t leave negative reviews but the old car wash was great this place is definitely not an improvement

Dang i really wish they never changed ownerships i used to love this place and unfortunately word is going to get around. Truck was not vacuumed, i feel like there going to lose alot of business, seems like the new owner wants vehicals in and out quick to make more money than focusing on customer satisfaction the workers are amazing it just the big boss telling them to be quick. To the owner or who ever reads this, dont message me telling to email you about my concerns like all the other bad reviews, write it here so every one can see how you feel abou this, just change your money hungry mindset, this place will end up being out of business soon when people realize its not the same

Review №15

Very poor quality ! The car was still dirty inside almost as if it had been hardly vacuumed and the trunk was not vacuumed at all. Stains and dust were not cleaned inside. I chose to pay more this time (around $25) hoping it will be better. Not worth the money !

Review №17

Nice looking place but not good value for money. Paid $35 for a car wash and wax after a visit to the beach. Hard to tell they even vacuumed it. Keep finding white wax spots dripped along the sides of the seats and center console. Should’ve cleaned it myself.

Review №18

Nice facility but maybe don’t waste your money on the more expensive washes. Car looks and feels like it does out of others for half the price.You might point out that the other half of that price goes towards the interior then. Thats what I thought, and the interior service is why I came here in the first place, but that’s actually the part I’m most dissatisfied with.I picked “The Works w/ vac” but they apparently didn’t bother to vacuum my trunk which, sure, isn’t filthy, but still has all the same dirt and grass that it had when I came in. Now I have to lug a vacuum out to my car and do it myself. Additionally, there are still water marks on the rear window which I’ve never had from here previously. Overall, since the last time I was here prices have gone up and service has gone down.

This is un update of the former Summit Car Wash ReviewTeam Car Wash is much better that what used to be Summit Car Wash. The new machines do a better job and the human personel did a much, much interior cleaning and exterior drying on my vehicle.I could have given the 5 stars but some areas in the front were dusty. Nevertheless, I have to admit that eventhough they are more pricey, than the former Car wash and the number of employees working outside is much smaller, the quality of the services improved dramatically.Having said that, my review has increased one star since last time.Old Review...I wish I could give a better review to this car wash but everytime I have brought my car over I end up cleaning my vehicle at home, there are always white spots, I believe its because of the wax. Time is money, but a little bit more time to make sure the vehicle is accurately dried out would be great.Around three times I requested to have a deluxe service and I gave up after realizing I was paying for the same results of a regular service.All people working there are hardworking, I admire them, having to work on different weather conditions must no be easy.Another thing I realized was related to the rags they use to clean or dry, some of them left small lines on my vehicle paint. That, i believe was something that could be avoided if new or different fabrics could be used.For the most part, it is a pretty convenient car wash, near by my house, but could improve a lot.

Review №23

Not the same…Summit car wash has been my favorite carwash to go to. When they went under renovation I was forced to find a new place. I went today for the first time since they reopened and looked forward to a perfect wash with the new equipment. What a waste of time and what a disappointment. The small neighborhood carwash is gone. I got my car back and the floor mats were hardly vacuumed, the car still had dirt all over the hood, and the tire shine was only applied to half of each wheel. First and last time I will be using Summit Car Wash and the new “team” wash. Don’t waste your time and money getting a half done job.

Worst car wash ever.Took the highest plan team wash came out 31 dollar and change. Inside thry were miserable and one person was calling other person name when I asked the stepping place is not even clean properly they mentioned that it is details we dont do it half dashboard was clean half I asked them to clean not recommend they must pay details on ckean inside out. Previously summit car wash performs very well inside out clean this new one no good at all. Workers seems exhausted and not willing to even clean.

Had an exterior only wash done. People were super friendly and very gracious. Tremendous attention to detail wiping down every surface. Most places doing exterior only dont bother more than a cursory wipe down. They opened every door and hatch and wiped down every door jam. Price was reasonable and offer a cash discount! Will definitely be back. Thank you!

I havent been to this car wash, but I live in Summit. Was thinking of take my F150 2016 Crewcab, plus my wife car for Mother day . But see the prices and looking at the reviews Im not sure if I want to spend my money him, after reading a review of a customer who spend over $200.00 and wasnt satisfying with their service. Ask to speak to a manager, and his reply was its looks better then before . And the customer was a pregnant woman. You would think the manager or management of the car wash would be more polite and professional of the situation. Very bad customer service. 👎👎

New visit 5/25/21 - New ownership - Team Car Washs third location. They now have monthly wash program. There were markedly fewer employees drying but they did a good job. The triple soap is now bundled with the tire paint and is at a near $25 price level. I dont ever want tire black (makes things dirty), so I just cant get the triple soap. However, the visit was a good one, resulting in a clean car. No discount for cash now.Previous - Generally speaking, they do a great job. Every once in a while a slight miss.

Courteous, quality service. Been a customer for 30+ years. Do detailing also. They take extra care with each vehicle. Ive gone to hand car wash facilities that dont do as good a job and charge more! Recommend Summit Car Wash. They are experienced with luxury as well as sports utility vehicles.

Review №55

I have gotten my interior detailed before at other car wash and detail shops across both New Jersey and New York. Never in my life have I seen such an immaculate job done on my interior. The car looks newer than when it was purchased. I may actually want to keep it now!I can not stress how professional and courteous the staff was. They ensured the car would be completed in tip top shape. I have to say they exceeded my expectations. The wheel even rotates more smoothly, as do the interior mirrors. They even cleaned our filthy car seat which now looks like it did when it was on the shelf.More than that, because we only have one car and the service took a few hours they even dropped me off and picked me up at home so that I wouldnt have to wait.I definitely know who Im going to go to in the future for all my car washing needs.Thank you, Summit Car Wash & Detail Center!

Review №56

Not worth the money. Dog prints and hair left behind. The seats are wet in some areas because they didn’t wipe it down more than once. Forget the cup holder or the sun roof window. I went home and finished the job myself. It took five minutes to finish the job right.

Review №57

Summit car wash is one of the best in the area. They still use towels to dry your car unlike others who use microfiber cloths, that when used improperly, scratch your car. 10/10!

Review №58

As far as car washes go, this is a great option.They only use cloths and not brushes to help protect the paintwork of your car. Whilst the car is proceeding through the car wash, a member of staff is inside your car cleaning the interior which significantly reduces time taken.A nice touch is the thorough cleaning of car mats.Once the car exits and small army of staff descend on it to wipe it down and dry it.A fast, efficient and good quality car wash.

This has been my go-to car wash for years. Prices are fair, your car will get clean, and being able to window shop Rolfs exotic cars makes waiting for your car to be washed and dried a more pleasant experience.While Ive never used the full-detail services available, I have heard good things.From a quick wash to a full cleaning, Summit Car Wash will have you covered.

Review №61

This car wash was recommended to me and they did a decent job. I was a little disappointed that they did not properly vaccum the back seats, leaving some crumbs on the back seats, even though they did vaccum the floors. If there are small details, you can always pay about $12 extra for 10 minutes of the detailers time. I cannot give 5 stars because the service was just good - not exceptional.

Reading some of these reviews seems to seem like someone is playing a very nasty prank and trying to give this car wash a bad name. This is the most professional and courteous car wash i have ever been too. I have been here countless amounts of times with all of my vehicles and have never experienced any issues what so ever. Even on a Saturday when the line is to the street, the employees keep their cool and do an excellent job. Hats off to the team.

Review №75

I work near here and took my small Mercedes SUV to get a full interior and exterior detail because it was convenient. It was more expensive than all of the other ones in the area but I still paid $270 because I thought they would do a good job.When I picked it up, I noticed several spots and the cleaning was overall very sloppy. The windows had some circle spots on them, the back two windows were not cleaned from the inside, the vents still had quite a bit of dust in them and the outside of the car did not look like it was compounded or waxed at all. When I told the owner and manager that the job was sloppy, their answer was it looks much better than it did.I am pregnant and did not want to argue with them or stress myself, so I just left. The car looked like a full service car wash was done on it at best.I would go to another place that has better ratings.

Car washes are a mystery to me. I have never found one that actually does a really good job. I include this one in that list. Its ok. Satisfactory. But not really that good. If you are compulsive like me, look somewhere else.Edit: terrible car wash. Never returning.

I paid 19.67$ to do full cleanup of my car which includes exterior, interior and wax( which they claim it shines all that), after I got the car the wheels were not cleaned, rear side vaccum was not done. Complete rip-off, when I asked why the wheels were not cleaned, he goes I need to clean the wheel using some solution every week, if I had time doing that I wouldn’t have come here to do the wash, I chose this place just because it is expensive and expected the work will be great. Very unhappy. I will never stop by here for my future wash. Thank you!!

Review №97

I had been bringing my 3 year old Porsche SUV there, the wash was ok, but around my 3-4th visit, they damaged the drivers side window switch. Thats the switch I use everyday, so I know exactly when it got broken. When the car was entering the car wash, there was no problem. When my car was returned to me, the window was left open, so I tried to close it, and then I felt something in my finger, and then noticed that a plastic piece was broken off from the window switch. I complained to the owner, he offered me a free wash for the next visit. He must have been kidding himself. Fixing broken switch costs $600 and he sounded like doing me a favor by offering a $21 car wash. Never returning here.

Review №99

DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH - It took me some time to realize that the issue of chips of paint coming off my car bumper was in fact due to the equipment used at this car wash.I had my bumper freshly repaired when I took the car to the Summit Car Wash. As soon as it came out of the wash, I noticed the same issue of a paint chip on the bumper.When I confronted them about it, they totally denied it. Not only their equipment damages your car but then the employees are dishonest people.I would definitely not recommend having your car taken care at this place..As you can notice on other reviews, the managers of this place are very threatening and rude. Those people should not be in business
