If all you want is a quick vacuum, partially clear windows and a rinse. Please...go here. But if you want any mud washed off the underbody, don't waste your time. Now I'm talking about the kind of mud you get when driving past some road construction with water on the pavement. We aren't talking about mud running in a pick up. Also, the "tire shine" is a joke, just buy the cheapest wash here. Unless you buy a full detail, you won't get much in the way of clean. The only value comes from getting a re-wash if it rains. 30 bucks later, I still had to buy actual tire shine, (even though it was supposedly included in my purchase.) I'll need to wash the rest of the mud off my air dam and wheel wells, clean and polish the rims, wipe down my interior. So all in all, I still didn't even save any time by going here. I'm being generous with the 3 stars.

I went in for the first time today, to buy a gift certificate for Christmas. The men outside were more than helpful & very kind! They informed me on where I needed to go & were always smiling even though they were in the freezing cold! I walked inside where people were clustered by the counter, but no one was being helped. So I stood there for awhile & was never acknowledged, the receptionist KELLY never even looked at me. Then when I finally got her attention & started to tell her what I was looking for.. she put her finger up & told me to stop talking, then walked away from the counter. She came back with a sheet of paper to just show me the prices. Not only was I so shocked at how rude she was, the prices were outrageous! She then interrupted me again when I went to say something so I just walked out. I know one person is not the only representation of the organization as a whole, but she is a representation & was the reason I chose to not give them my money. I hope others have a better experience

They did an amazing job! So polite too.

Had gone to this car wash with my previous vehicle and was satisfied. Went on 5/12/17 with my new vehicle, had them clean and vacuum the front mats and got the rainx wash. After they were done, I drove home and parked my SUV in the garage. The next day I went to run errands and as soon as I got to my vehicle, I noticed a horizontal dent at the bottom of the driver-side door. Called Sparkling Image, since they are the only ones who have had access to my SUV since I purchased it. According to the manager, they reviewed the "HD tapes" and said they couldn't see where my door might have gotten hit. If you own a business that wants to be successful, own up to your responsibilities and pay for any damage you cause. Since it is my first new vehicle in 19 years, I notice everything, so spotting the dent the first time I went to drive my vehicle after they washed it, was very evident. The estimate company believe that because the dent is horizontal, the door was opened and hit something...such as opening the door to take the front mats out, vacuuming and putting the mats back in. I also reviewed this business on Yelp and posted a picture of the damage. Unfortunately, I will never go back to this car wash and would caution anyone taking their vehicle there to inspect their vehicle very closely before and after. From other reviews, it appears I am not the only customer whose vehicle they have damaged and won't accept responsibility. Shame on them.

Great place to get car washed. Very thorough
