Hy Speed Brush Free Car Wash in Schenectady
Below average performance. I did the most expensive option for this review and honestly there was not a big difference in the look and feel of my car. I was most excited for the tri color wax and polish but after the wash, i ran my finger on the paint and it was not smooth which is a test for wax.There was noticible dirt left near the front tire and also the pressure wash failed to completely remove a bird poop stain from my windshield.Finally, the blower power is inadequate for drying a car and needs to be more powerful. It is okay in summer but in the winter, water can act as a seed and ones windshield can quickly become covered by ice crystals and also damage the wipers. I drove out from the wash as slow as possible to give it a chance but alas, it failed to impress me!My Take:Dont go above level 2 on the wash unless you have spare money.Drive very slowly in and out (in case you opt in for the side blaster for tires)Take full advantage of the timer upfront; pace yourself accordingly.Deals are there on the board but the credit card reader kiosk where you stop, did not give me option to choose.There are 2 4min $1.5 vaccums that you can use. They only accept change and there is a self service machine there. You can also wash your car for cheap if you dont wanna go in the hands free wash.
Recently went to use the self service carwash at this location and after putting $2.00 into the coin machine I realized I was 25 cents short so I went to use the dollar change machine which of course was out of service, I then ran over to the Stewarts Shop across the street and got change for $1.00. By the time I got back to my vehicle in the carwash it had zeroed out my $2.00 deposit, I put another 25 cents into the coin machine to see if it would still work and of course it didnt so now I was out $2.25. Wrote a note telling what happened with my phone number and stuck it in the door of the office next to the change machine but again as expected never received a call etc. Even though this is the closest carwash to me and Ive used it numerous times I will now go out of my way to avoid this location.Update: It took a while but the owner contacted me and was very gracious and offered me a couple of free car washes, so he made good on this. I now recommend them!!
You can good in with cash or credit, and can choose to get additional services for additional prices or just get a relatively inexpensive wash. It does an acceptable job and since I drive right by the entrance three or four times every week it is very easy getting in but at rush hour if you want to take a left you should take a right and go down half a block and go around to the left to get in the other direction.

2021-12-26Worst car wash! Don’t waste your money. Vacuums are always clogged. The manual wash will not run long enough and you’ll leave with a soapy car. The wax will ruin your windows.

2020-08-10Its a good wash for great prices. They have three touch-free bays and one DIY bay. Its not the most in-depth car wash, however, for the price its and speed its more than acceptable. Pro - they keep the place in great condition and the equipment is always in working order.

2020-01-03I am able to wash and rinse my Mini Cooper for $3. On a previous occasion I had an issue with the self wash stall. I left a message with the company and received a quick response and a free brushless wash coupon. This location is my default car wash. I would have given it 5 stars but for the fact that occasionally the change machine is out of order and thus I am unable to wash my car.

2021-11-07Just went to use the wash and vacuums - put 1.50 in for vacuum and it didn’t work. Sucked it up and said I’ll just do car wash.. put $10 in for car wash and it said “bay is in use” although there’s no car in there. Called the number listed on the building for assistance and no one answered.

2021-11-08The last handful of times it hasnt cleaned my car fully. Parts of it look the same as when I went in. Waste of money. Had to go to another car wash afterwards.

2021-01-18Was there a couple weekends ago, one of the two vacuums was out of order and a long wait. The owner was very helpful once i got through and insisted on hooking me up with a free wash. Much appreciated.
