Randy’s Car Wash

Went here today to clean my car! They have two self-​washing booths and two stations with vacuum cleaners. $ 3 gives you 4 minutes of water and soap out of a high-​powered spray thingy. I came prepared with quarters but they also take credit card — cool!
The soap smelled good, but I am not sure about the quality of the brush. I ended up not using it on my car because I was afraid to scratch the paint job. I brought my own microfiber mitten instead.
In general, it looks like a no-​fuss self-​washing area (I didn’t try the service; for a little bit more money they wash your car for you). I’ll probably come back once my car needs another wash.

Went here for a car wash and wax with my new black Honda Accord. Now has a million little scratches on left side. I called and told them. Basically they don’t care. Don’t go here.

I’m surprised to see such low rating for this car wash. I’ve been getting my car washed here for over 6 years. Their prices are great. The people working there have always been nice and friendly. There are two different areas to self vacuum. Bargain Tuesday is great, $ 6 for a basic car wash and they never pressure me into any other deal. Only wished they had a few people at the end of the car wash to dry off my car.

Wow. Been coming to Randy’s all my driving life and really disappointed today. Paid for The Ultimate — top wash available — and when I left immediately pulled over to make sure all was good. Noticed my wheels were still dirty so asked to please let me drive through again.
Unfortunately, it was explained that because it’s ‘discount Tuesday’s’ that world hurt their revenue too much … um OK but my car is still DIRTY! … so I explained that I can’t wash my car at home so at least could he please hit the wheels a bit with the brush?
Denied.
He pointed at the entrance saying today is ‘too busy’. And again about the revenue — only thing is there was no line! He offered to give me a rag so I could hand wash them myself. Really? I don’t know. I love Randy’s. Love my birthday freebie once a year but this was pretty pathetic.

Brand new car… like days old. Thought I would get the bird poop off my nice new black car before work since this place is on my way to work. Entire side of car is now scratched with a billion tiny little scratches from their aging auto-​wash. Do yourself a favor and hand wash or find a touchless built within the last 20 years. Now I gotta spend hundreds getting this shit polished out. THANKS

Sloppy work, bad attitude. They put my loose belongings such as a computer charger into a bag full of trash. They left plenty of dirt on the dashboard, center console and door pockets. The manager got surly when I asked him to touch it up, then he started scraping at loose dirt with a butter knife. Something isn’t right about those guys.

DO NOT GO HERE. In the automatic car wash lane, the employees failed to leave enough room between cars. My car got hit in the rear bumper by the pick up truck behind me, and my car hit the car in front of me. The entire bumper needs to be replaced, and god only knows what the guy in front of me and in back of me will do. AVOID!

I never even made it in to the car wash bay. The gentleman (term used loosely) that was operating the automatic wash started screaming at the top of his lungs at me because I wasn’t perfectly straight entering into the bay. What he didn’t realize is that I was trying to pull forward and back up so that I *would* be straight. But he didn’t seem to understand this explanation and just. kept. yelling. So I left to go to a car wash that doesn’t treat their customers like bird poop (pun intended).

Not sure if they know what they’re doing or perhaps just don’t care about their work. Had them detail my new car and they used wax on my black bumpers and trim, turned white the next day. In speaking to the dealership, true professionals know NOT to use wax on plastic bumpers. Am now paying for their mistakes in trying to restore my bumpers back to their original black.

Sure, it sort of got the job done, but the «supreme» barely got the bird poop off my window.

Overall, a good place to go. I pulled up to look at the prices first and to figure out how it all works. The guys did stare at me for a while before one of them came over to chat with me. He was very friendly and instructed me on how to drive back into the car wash. As you can tell, I don’t often go as my husband will wash our cars from time to time.
Anyway, I went with the wash, undercarriage wash, and rust inhibitor which came together as a special package deal for $ 12. The guy was nice about telling me what to do, putting my car in neutral and keeping my hand off the steering wheel. When I came out, I was little unclear if they were going to do anything more b/​c at Allston Car Wash, the guys actually come over and wipe excess water off your car. Nobody came over to me, so I drove home.
When I got home, I took a good look at my car. There were a few things sticking onto my car, leftover from the wash, that I just picked off. The service would be even better if they did include a last step of wiping off your car and saying good-​bye to you.

So so. The place just fine but I put 3 stars only because they don’t pay a lot attention for cars pooling into the car wash … The freaking guy screamed NEUTRAL! NO BREAKS !! okay okay calm down psycho

Pretty good car wash. Go on Tuesdays for a discount.

Didn’t deal with the staff but the self-​service bays are excellent. $ 3 – 5 gets you an awesome wash. It’s even fun. My car looks great and I got to control everything. Perfect if you just got part of your car painted.

I went here to have my car detailed. The first thing that set me off was that they charged me more than they said on the phone. They said it was a larger car, that’s why. They should have told me that on the phone.
The car was clean enough afterwards, but their attitudes were definitely as though they could care less about you and your car. I felt as if I were bothering them. I wouldn’t go back. Too bad. It’s close.

I would not recommend this car wash i was very disappointed with them I vent there for vacuum they did a very bad job they all employees look high on something and have bad attitude!!! This place is the worst car wash i have ever been. I went for a full vacuum and only two employes were there both if them looked high and tired only one was working other one standing thereand it took him 20 min to just vacuum and they have attitude and the place is old and dirty. I recommend you nottttt !!!

The reason I like this place, and the reason I will go back, is that it has an automatic carwash, with no people waiting at the end to dry off your car with rags. I always find that really awkward and unnecessary after the machinery blow-​dries your can and you’re going to be driving it dry anyway. I grew up in Western Massachusetts where such things are just not done, and it has been hard to find someplace like that in the city.
I went during evening rush hour, and there was no line and it seemed like the car wash had been turned off for a bit. The guy in the booth didn’t notice me pull up at first, so I was halfway in the rack when he started waving me in. Fortunately, I aimed correctly the first time. Don’t mind so much; I just want to give them money, get the car clean, and get out, and that’s exactly what happened.
$ 9 for a regular wash. They gave the back window of my hatchback a manual soaping before I went in, which I always appreciate. I guess the mechanical stuff never quite cleans the back well enough. There was still a little goop on my back window when I got home, which was easy to wipe off, but overall my car was shiny and I was happy.

I went in with low expectations and was still disappointed.

Bad attitudes don’t work in a service-​based business.
I gave this place a few tries considering it could have just been a bad experience the first time. Well, it was a worse experience the second time. There was no one behind me in line, yet the guy was gesturing with his arms to hurry up and align my wheel. After spending $ 17 to get the wheel bright and supreme wash, the wheels looked terrible after I pulled out, and I had soap covering my driver side view mirror. I rolled back up, and the guys were all muttering to themselves as I did.
After having to politely explain how bad the wash sucked, he finally told me if I wanted to run it through again, I had to fill out a card with my name, address, plate number and phone number. I was scratching my head at this point and figured f*ck it, I’ll do it, as I’m never coming back anyways. So I did and the little spazz of the bunch was slamming his mop against my car and screaming as if he was re-​enacting some type of sword fighting scene from a movie. I just stared at the guy who took my info and told him good luck with the business as I went through a second time.
I’ll gladly spend the money elsewhere.

I wouldn’t recommend this place.
The first time I was there I went for the mechanical wash, and there was a ton of soap on the car afterwards (inside the doors and everything). They also don’t dry the car, so lots of water spots.
Today I tried again. The line was long and blocking School Street, so I chose to wait in the lot thinking they’d let me in behind the people who were there before me. Some employee shouted at me as if I was trying to cut the line, when really, I was trying not to cause more of a commotion in the street. Anyway, he insisted that I get in line, and was being downright dickish about it.
So I left and went to Shield System Car Wash, which was great. No spots, and no soap residue on the car.
