Just, wow. This was worth leaving my first ever Google review. I called to see if they accept walk-ins (other DC carwashes are appointment-only, so I wasnt sure). Not only were they ready for me right away, but Smoke immediately texted me giving their new address (1725 Rhode Island Ave NE). Nice touch from the owner himself.Theyre still getting settled in to the new location. Currently its behind a Boost mobile, which I drove past initially. I get there and 2 friendly employees greet me. There are 2 options for the waiting area while they worked on my car: the chair (2 chairs under a tree in the parking lot) or the shed (an actual shipping container with a fan, microwave, fridge, leather couch, and an aquarium for an active, fairly good-sized turtle). Picture attached. 15 or so minutes later, my car is spotless inside and out, and it only cost $23.I felt like I had a 30-minute long fever dream where at the end of it, my car was clean. The experience left me speechless. It doesnt get more local, small business than this. Would recommend.

After arriving at the car wash my gut feeling told me not to use their services. But I looked at there review and it was not back so I decided to use their service. I wish I have listened to my gut feeling because it was the worst car wash that I have ever seen. They were still bug marks on my car they didn’t clean the windows thoroughly they were fingerprint marks all over my window. They just did a horrible job. I would not recommend this place at all for the amount of money they’re charging. And when I was ready to pay they did not have changed so I had to run to the gas station next to the business to get change. Worst car wash ever.

Always love coming here, nothing is much more better than a good hand wash.Nothing is rush here and you can see the quality of their products.Prices is a bit vague- due to no consistent price structure or signage, but for a Prius you can pay between 20/ 25.I love these guys and will always support when Im in town👍👍👍✊🏾

Had in and out service at this car wash. They did a piss poor job. When I asked them to wipe it down again and pointed out specific issues, it was still poorly done. If I wanted to wash the car myself, I would not hv paid $25 plus tip. This was just very bad work and it didnt take anything special to see how bad of a car wash this really was. Wont be going back there . . . Ever!

You get what you pay for. I had to spend 30 mins at home cleaning up the tire and certain parts of the car since they did not clean it all the way. It’s cheaper than a lot of options out there but it’s not the greatest quality. Some of their team members do a good job but some of them don’t.

It’s not really a detail. It’s more like a good interior vacuum and wipe down. See pictures. They missed a lot.

Smokes has been in business for over 20 years, but at this location 2 yrs. People come to him because they offer good prices, quality detailing services, a staff of 5-6 people and service during the winter.Busiest hours are from 9-3p and parking can be challenging since they are on site with Valero gas station. The benefit is that you can get your car washed and gas at the same location.There are no gas and wash packages. Discounts if any are offered to regular customers because Smoke knows you and you bring him business.Smoke is an independent owner and will roll up his sleeves and work too. His son is also a part of the crew. His crew consists of tried and true trusted friends.Smoke is his childhood nickname from his days of smoking other players on the local basketball courts.

Brought it my car on the spot- washed and got oil stain from seats as soon as I pulled up. Very reasonably priced and friendly staff.

Smokes is the best deal in town for car wash and detailing services. They are also super fast to get you back on the road. Ill definitely keep going there. However, Ive noticed a few times that some little detail is missed. But its so insignificant that it wont keep me away. In fact Ill probably raise my star level if it doesnt happen again.

What ever you do do not go get your car washed at this place they are very unprofessional i went to get my car detailed here and it looks like the people working there are a bunch of crack cocain addicts they try to detail your car as soon as possible just so they can get money to go purchase there next fix they do not pay attention at all to detail my car pretty much looked the same as when i broght it to get it detailed i think my kids would have done a better job detailing my car on top of that be very careful leaving your personal belongings in the car I noticed a few items were missing from my car unfortunately I noticed when i had already left the place and when i tried contacting the owner to resolve the problem he just kept telling me he would call me back every time i called him pretty much trying to avoid fixing the problem what ever you do doooo nooot bring your car to this place its the worst experience ive ever had in my life and I normally dont write reviews but I decided to do so in this case to help others not go through the same problem i went through I pretty much just spent money to get my items stolen from my car because the car looked dirty after they were done so its like they never even detailed it never again am i going to this place even the location looks sketchy it does not look professional at all I should have known not to get my car detailed there just by looking at the area it looks like one of those areas where if you park your car and go in to the store for 5min and come back to your car just to find all your rims and tires stolen and your car sitting on bricks if you want to avoid spending money and getting your things stolen and your car still looking dirty do not go here

I love these guys, fast, solid, and they can get out dog hair without fail!!! To get the same work done by my house in Georgetown would cost 3-4 times as much and be more time consuming to boot... so I come here, and walk around the corner for a half smoke at Meats & Foods!!! Life is sweet!
