This place is awesome! Touch less, and it does a fantastic job. I dont recognize my own car!

Terrible outfit - avoid! I had a basic $13 wash done in the large bay on 8/27/21. Upon getting home I noticed numerous black streaks running across the hood of my small white SUV. It took some time and rubbing to get them out. I called Auto Shine 3 times and left voice mails, then e-mailed them as well, simply requesting a refund. After a full week I received NO response at all. Incredible that anyone would run a business this way and treat a customer with a valid complaint so poorly!

Price of the membership and not being able to use other everwash locations brings me to give this a low rating.

Went looking for a working vacuum and was not disappointed, but settled for an automatic car wash (quite nice) because the self wash stalls were closed. This place may be one of just a few maintained car washes in the area, so it still gets 4 stars.

Paid $18 for the premium wash and wax snd the car came out just as dirty as when I went in. An absolute waste of time and money

I went through the touchless automated one, paid extra to have my undercarriage washed, but the bay was not equipped for it. I didnt know until after paying because I couldnt see into the bay until the door opened after paying. The machine didnt print a receipt, either. Otherwise it was good. If you want the extras, I recommend going through the manned line so you can communicate with a human about what is available and what you want.

I spent 24 bucks on what was supposed to be a premium wash. I didnt receive most, if any, of the Armour All or the ceramic wax. I called to let them know and got no reply back. Dont waste your money on anything extra at this place.

Went there yesterday for a basic self-service wash. First, there are huge gaps in the pavement when you enter and exit the facility. Noticed that there was no soap coming out of the wind in the first bay car wash. After five minutes of self washing the car, went to the office to let them know that there was no soap coming out of the wand. Was told “yeah, that hasn’t worked for several weeks.” No sign saying it doesn’t work. Pretty sleepy business practices. Asked for a refund or for them to put me into a different bay and all the little twerp could say was “sorry man”. The bay should not even be open.

I walked in and made an appt for a car detail $230 the following morning. They said to have the car there at 8am as they opened the doors at 7:45. I arrived at 8 and waited 20 minutes with no opening. I left several messages and left my car hoping they would arrive and detail it. After a few hours I got a ride back to pick up my car. Never got a phone call with an apology. total waste of a morning. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Absolute no. The part of the car that did get washed got scratched up. The other side didnt get washed.$16 is very expensive for a very cursory machine wash and it it were free it wouldnt compensate for the scratches.And the attendants gave me no instruction (a sign up on the wall is completely obstructed plus I was focused on driving between the tire track and then following their hand instruction to stop). No one said to put the car in neutral. Thats the one instruction.. why dont they tell you? Why isnt there a sign while you wait before entering? They cant use a bit of their breathe to say put it in neutral? just assume that everyone just knows. I hope my transmission isnt damaged. And the only one other time in my life that I used a car wash years ago the guy came and did a hand dry of the windshield. On a sunny October day when there weremt other cars waiting.. its clearly not in their model. They didnt ask if my car was ok or tell me what to look for.So, on all accounts, avoid

Touch free car wash doesnt rinse between cycles, defeating the purpose of most of the extras. In the manual wash bays the tire wash and presoak modes didnt work, and the high pressure wash barely had any soap in it.

Every time I come, there are lanes closed, machines or vacuums not working, etc. I feel things have gone downhill. Its a bummer because its such a convenient location!

Review №13

I went through the car wash and my car came out with left over wax, parts still had dirt on them, and new scratches on all sides and my windshield. The owner had excuses for all these issues, and said “we can run it through again to clean it”. (Thought cleaning was what I paid for the first time). Stay clear of this place and head somewhere else. Not worth the hassle with the employees or the potential damage to your car.

Scam. The drive-thru wash is OPEN 24/7 but after taking your $18 the doors dont open. Plus theres nobody onsite when the office is supposedly open.

Review №18

The owner or manager of this car wash was very disrespectful, went there in the self-wash and pulled in and got out to throw away some trash in the trash can that was in the car wash bay and he came out running on about how it was for the wash cars not just parked there and throw away trash when we were going to wash the vehicle

Paid for a 13$ car wash.... And got nothing, pulled in and no water works doors shut and didnt open. I immediately called topsham auto not shine. And big surprise no call back. Not really impressed I pushed the emergency exit button probably 10 times before the door would open. Get it Together guys!

Once I figured it out, was fine. Dont wait for a ticket or receipt after you pay. Drive ahead when its a green light and go slow as you leave to get every second you paid for.

I had used another car wash and run through the other one twice. My car was still not clean.Once through at Auto Shine, I could drive off with my microfiber clothes and feel like my car had a professional job. I just paid for the wash.

Review №26

After having trouble with the vacuum the attendant was so rude to even use profanities. I interrupted a break, as they saw me on foot at the office but did not come out of the back garage until I pulled up to the attended car wash lane. He clearly did not want to wash any cars!

The folks over here take great pride in maintaining their facility and making sure that everything runs smoothly.Ive never had an issue here and theyve always done good work and their machines are always very operable. The prices are standard for any car wash facility.They offer interior detailing here by appointment and they do a great job, the prices for interior detailing are a little competitive but I would recommend shopping around if you want a better price. I cant guarantee youll get the same quality of work though elsewhere.

Review №34

Went to car wash last night 2 bays open automatic had barrel in front of. Went in bay closest to automatic. The pressure was horrid and wand just shook the whole time. Left a message and I have yet to hear from them. Put cone on remaining bay so someone else did not get stuck like me! Another FYI rubber tips for the sprayers ends only cost a small amount so you dont risk striking your paint. Potholes or crater in front of car wash is ridiculous. I dont understand why this car wash that was amazing has gone so downhill.

Review №36

Absolutely worst car wash and service ever. Went through the automatic car wash paid $14 dollars the hose squirted once then the whole thing broke. Called the owner multiple times to resolve the issue. Each time was told he would call me back. Never got a call back or my money! Never go to this place! As I see by other reviews this is a recurring problem for his car washes. I consider this theft since he doesn’t give you back money and no service was given.

Review №37

Easy to get to but machine only charges 4 at a time, even if you use a card, instead of working until you turn it off like other card machines at car washes. Sounds like a small thing but I didnt know to add more.money and now I have a soapy car and not giving them another $4.

Non-operational bay was open and accepted money. I left a voicemail asking for a callback, no callback received after a week. Stopped by the office during business hours and nobody was in the office. Called multiple times and no answer. Left another voicemail and posting this an attempt to get a refund for no services rendered. Office smelled of weed.

Car wash was decent but the vacuums are all junk. There is absolutely no suction to them and all but 2 ate my quarters and never kicked on. Called the number to try and leave a message it just rang and rang. Hopefully i can get my money back tomorrow. Will not be coming back to this place. I will drive to wiscasset or bath if i have to.

This place has gone to the dogs. After waiting in a long line, got to kiosk where a sign was posted saying “soap doesn’t work, everything else works great “. Paid $16 for a premium wash, under carriage wash didn’t work, Pre-soak 1 and 2 did not work, high pressure rinse did work. Foam conditioning and clear coat did not work. Spot free rinse worked. I am looking for a new car wash. I will not be back. P.S. tunnel was out of order, 2 self wash bays out of order and trash all over lot at noon on a busy, sunny Saturday afternoon.

I tried this place 2 weeks in a row. First time hardly any pressure, car was still dirty, second time used a different bay same thing no pressure it almost a full minute just to wash the dirt off the back of my minivan, I left went to the Irving station next door got out to look at it and it still covered with dirt. I have used the automatic car wash and it worked fine. Disappointed to spend money to wash my van and have it still dirty.

Review №46

DO NOT GO HERE. They dont even rinse well enough to get all the soap off let alone the dirt. $17 for the best wash, all I have to show for it is a still dirty car and some fresh scratches. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

Worst carwash ever. Paid 16$ for a touchless car wash and didnt remove the dirty specs from yesterdays rain. Had to hand wash once i got home. Prices for each wash were pretty high compared to other local places with the same service. Completely ripped off.

Review №49

TERRIBLE. 12$ for a basic car wash and you don’t even get undercarriage wash. I spend 10$ over at the car wash on pleasant street in Brunswick and it will get EVERYTHING. DONT waste your money here. I figured the reviews here were just from snobby reviewers as you always get those who want everything for nothing. Well I was wrong. This car wash literally sucks both in prices and service. Trust me if you want a good wash go to the New England Touchless Car Wash in Brunswick. I assure you will be much more highly satisfied with it and the price you’ll pay. The only problem there’s is the lines can be long (like most car washes this time of the year) but it will make your car look a lot better coming out.

The tunnel wash is always closed, and the touch free wash does little more than wet your car and half dry it. I went in with bird droppings and typical bug splatter and came out with the same. Ive tried it twice now and wont be going back, dont waste the money.

Stopped into this location in Topsham three times, first time was typical, I paid and got my van washed, 2nd time there was no one in sight, after honking and getting out of my van the attendant appeared and seemed annoyed with me for having disturbed his time in a back room, 3rd time, one pickup truck already in, local police cruiser in front of me, no one seemed interested in getting vehicles through so after waiting for several minutes seeing nothing move I left, won’t bother a 4th time
