Fast service at a busy location. They left some leaves in my hood/windshield area but the outside of my car was shiny.3/18/2022 I got an oil change and it comes with a Super Car Wash. A little out of the way but near the highway so that makes it a good weekly trip. This weeks service 4-stars.
Not sure what happened when they were vacuuming my vehicle but the passenger side front seat was moved all the way to the front and when i tried to have the seat moved back it wouldnt budge. I had to put some force into moving it and it now makes a very weird clicking noise when its moved. Im assuming the guy who was vacuuming my car held down the slide for the passenger seat to move and then slammed it into the front position.
Brought my car to make a deep cleaning, which they didn’t, they just clean where people can see, but not deep cleaning. I’m really disappointed with the service. I know I can clean it myself but I pay for it, they did not even charge me cheap.Not good service for what I paid
I get my car washed here once a week since I moved to the area in March, 2021 out of pure convenience and laziness. I’m ashamed to admit that but maybe I can help you avoid a terrible wash and waste of money.I have a 4 door sedan. For $28 they vacuum, run your car through the wash, wipe down the interior, clean the windows and Armor-all the tires. I use all of those terms loosely. They spend about 20 seconds haphazardly vacuuming the carpet and then spray a cleaner on the inside of your windows/windshield. The cleaner usually gets on the dashboard and seats which they won’t clean off unless you point out everything they’ve missed, which is always a lot. The side mirrors, windows and windshield are always dirtier once you’ve driven off and your car dries off - meaning the towels are dirty.No attention is paid to detail, and I’m not hard to please. The only thing done well is the Armor-all on the tires. Your car will look clean to someone across the street but you won’t feel like it’s clean because it’s not.I never go when it’s busy so they can’t use that as an excuse. I just went yesterday and was one of 2 customers. 8 guys were “cleaning” my car - it was the worst job yet, which is what compelled me to write this review. Even when they have all hands on deck they can’t, or won’t, do a good job of cleaning your car.Save your money and wait until it rains.
This place is ok. For $20 bucks they armoral the inside and out leaving car smelling and looking good.The staff should pay closer attention to detail. My mirrors and windows always have streak marks. I usually tip a guy and he double checks and cleans what ever wasnt cleaned. Overall this place isnt bad I go once a week. Update: 2022 and still a customer
Ive been going out of my way to go here for years because I want good service. The last time I was there was AWFUL. I was skipped on line by three people. When I complained, I was told that my car wouldnt be vacuumed. I complained to the manager, who was inside, he told me that it didnt happen OUTSIDE. He just didnt care. I will go to the Bronx from now on.
They have great prices for the car wash, but I like coming here for vehicle servicing, too. I’ve gotten new windshield wipers placed here, oil changes, refill of engine coolant, you name it. I always come here first before I go to my mechanic because they are honest. That’s something I value (especially as someone who just bought her first car). The guys are always quick to know what’s going on with your car, and are always ready to assist! I never have any complaints with them.
I have also frequented LMC car wash for 20 years for all automobiles. They are diligent in rendering good service to their customers and very responsive to your instruction on how you want your car cleaned.They do a great job maintaining your car exterior and interior.
I will never do any business at this place.. Went in for interior cleaning, paid $200.00 for what I thought they would do great work. My car was basically washed, vacuumed and greasy armor all on the dash doors and seats. Wow, I could have done that myself. Even their basic car wash sucks. So If you want to be disappointed then come here and get a mediocre car wash service at a high price. They will never get a penny from me. Good luck with your car.
We brought a used car (20 years) to get a thorough clean on Friday midday, (when they were not busy). They did a phenomenal job and really gave our car a second life. The leather seats feel and look great, the doors, dashboard, everything is terrific.The only thing is that we had to wipe down all the hard surfaces because they were a little oily from excess cleaning material.
Im new to the area and didnt know where to take my car for servicing. My Super suggested LMC, and it was great. I got an overdo oil change, which came with a free car wash. It was quick and easy. The price was what I expected (except for the bonus car wash), and the folks were friendly.
Upgraded to super clean and interior which is supposed to be wiped down and vacuumed was not. They take five minutes and don’t make sure it is clean. This is the second time they have done this. If you are not going to clean the interior than just have a price for the exterior. They also left some kind of sticky substance all over the other seat I am having to clean up after them. All they care about is being fast even though there was no one else there.
They are vey considerate. Very organized. Doing great car wash every time.Update:Came here for wash again. Their service is as not good as they did in the past. Workers didn’t wipe all drops after wash. I paid for additional pad wash, but they didn’t clean it well. Disappointed.
Got my car interior detailed $170. Very over priced but good job. They did an amazing job and even touched up the exterior. Only thing is they missed the ash trey after i specifically asked the young man not to overlook it.All and all o drove in a dusty old lemon and left with luxury.Thank you guys! Cant wait to come back.
It was suppose to be a full wash outside and interior but the interior was absolutely awful! They didn’t clean it at all. The car was filthy just as I took it, they didn’t vacuum or wipe down the seats, the doors, or the center console. It was a complete waste of money! I had to come home & with Clorox wipes clean it all myself. I will never go back to this place nor would recommend it to anyone.
Paid -$33.75 very unsatisfied. One shouldn’t have to be reminding employees to wipe things down. For example the roof top, interior doors, cup holders and ALSO the front dash. I feel like at that price things should be wiped down to it’s minimum, everything can’t be done perfect but at least wipe it down so it looks like they at least attempted to clean my vehicle. Poor service.
This is the best automated car wash in this area. Dont pay any more than $7. If you want anything extra, go get a hand car wash instead. If you are sensitive about small scratches, go somewhere else. This place is only for a quick wash completed by a machine. It usually takes me 10 minutes total-assuming there isnt a line-to complete the wash and quickly vacuuming the car.
They have an interesting setup here due to the high volume of traffic in the area. My vehicle came out pretty good and they were efficient from the initial attendant, the cashier was on point to those who dried the vehicle and the final attendant. I would go back to this location if I am in the area.
I went to this place because it was near by and I instantly regret it. I asked them to clean the inside and outside. They rushed the job so I had to ask them to reclean and still it wasnt to my expectation. This is a money business, I expect to get what I pay for. I wasnt the only one. 4 other drivers had the same issue and all asked for better cleaning. Dissapointed.
Been going there for over 10 years. Use to be 24 hr oil change. Got there at 6:50 didn’t know they close at 7 pm guys Spanish gentleman doing something to he’s personal van look like. When I finally beep cause he’s ignoring me. Says sry we closed. I aways tip well and aways taken my cars there. I will never again give them any business. He was rud. With a astute attitude. Says computer is dw which is bs.
These people overprice everything from car wash to oil change. A full synthetic oil change 95.00 dollars what are they crazy. These people going to be out of business soon. Car wash is super expensive, I can go a few blocks up @ e 138th bronx and get better quality car wash for half the price.
Cool place.I took my Lotus Elise in for a wash since its been a big hassle to wash it myself living in SF, and upgraded to the wax. They did a great job. I could tell the guys were particular about the details; they definitely werent trying to just rush it though.They have a nice lounge area where you can watch the cars or hop on WiFi. My car is now is now the cleanest its ever been!If youre in a rush and/or dont want to spend much this place probably isnt for you. Their prices are reasonable for what you get but not to be compared to one of those places with like 50 people that just crank cars through.
DO NOT GO HERE! THEY DAMAGED MY CAR! I stopped here for a quick wash. I paied the $28 for a wash and lleft the car to the attendants. When. I pick it up and see a scratch and dent about an inch long on my door. It looks as though they opened the door and hit something. Not only that but while cleaning the inside windows, they managed to rip my dashcam off the mount. Not recommended you go here. Save your money.
Dont ever get your inspection here!They just tried to rip off my wife. Theres no reason to check out a vehicles air filter or cabin air filter. Thats not part of the inspection process. Its just safety and emissions. Ive been a mechanic for over 12 yrs and these are the type if guys that give mechanics a bad name. I am a NYS inspector as well. I just cant bring in my own vehicles to work and do them since I work for the government. Every time she takes it to a new shop I grind my teeth cause Im afraid they might try and rip her off like today.
I used them for the first time today. I got the Deluxe Package for $69.99. They were fast, very friendly, and did an amazing job on my VW Passat. I noticed they washed a ton of high end cars. If they get that many expensive vehicles, you know you can trust them. Thanks guys!
My fathers been washing his beautiful truck since we moved to Harlem at this car wash. Hes made friends here and built trust, thats all that matters in a car wash. When you trust your friends to clean your car itll get done very nicely. Also as a Car enthusiast youd be surprise at how many exotic cars come to this car wash. Ranging from Maseratis to tuned up muscle cars. Very nice to see.
Save ur money !!! if you pay attention to detail your gonna be mad. There will be soap and water residue, your cup holder /dash board will still be dusty/dirty, your Matt will be either still wet or Semi dirty and to top it off you will be unsure if they put what ever stuff on your tires/rims. I went inside to grab just one air freshener and when I came out they was already done.
Its the only legit car wash that Ive seen in the area. Hosts a series of wars detailing and change your oil while your there. Inside the pay area, its a mini accessory boutique, from air fresheners to steering wheel covers, dont forget the mats. Stay focus. 20.00 will just about cover wash and vacuum. Long lines going into a small street to get in, watch the passing cars... Lots of workers once car is washed outside, who do a good job on your car , working simultaneously; who to tip??? Overall, it seems like a decent place.
Horrible place. They rang up my oil change service & my some air fresheners i purchased on 2 different registers. Then swiped my card over 10 different times causing my bank to freeze my account. This caused unnecessary charges that i now have to dispute. They need a better pos system & a stronger operational check out procedure!! Their debit card machines are too cheap; possibly outdated; time to update systems.
Saturday, April 14, 2018Maximum *S*T*A*R*S*!!!! I live much further north in Manhattan, and I was forced to start bringing my car to 1st Ave Car Wash and Lube after a much more conveniently located Car Wash on West 145 Street between Adam Powell Boulevard and Lenox Avenue went out of business a few years ago.1st Avenue Car Wash & Lube is a very well organized business that very clearly and very efficiently operates on teamwork. Everyone has a job to do, and they all work very quickly to keep cars and customers moving.Theyre also attentive to the customers needs!! One day, the cleaning gear half way knocked off my front license plate and its EZ Pass. The way everyone there that day came together to immediately repair this for me, it made me feel very good inside!! No one there ever asks for a tip, or an extra tip, but I felt very good about giving them some extra money that day.Im usually not driving late at night or very early into the a.m. hours like I used to, around 2002 to 2009, but its still a very good feeling to know that this place is open 24 hours a day if I ever need them.
Talked via google messenger, they sent a super nice and cool Tim. Guy did an unbelievable job on my stang. Cannot be happier with the finished job. Got the wash, buff and wax, Paint shines like new again and at a great price. Ask for Tim, he worked his butt off and knew what he was doing.
These guys saved me $245! I rented a car from Avis and my dog got in the car and got hair everywhere. Avis wanted to charge me $250 to deep clean the dog hair. My doorman suggested this place, which is just up the street from Avis. They charged me $5 for a vaccum-only service, which is not one of their official services, at least it is not posted. They really did me a favor. Avis did not say a word when I returned the car, now miraculously free of hair. This place is fast and accommodating, though Manhattan pricey.
Come for an oil change and receive a complementary full car wash! The oil chance takes 15 minutes and does not come with the usual you should also change this and that sales pitch. The car was is phenomenal; vacuum cleaners take care of all your interior mess and after the wash sveral guys come out to hand dry your car. Dont forget their tip box!
Pulled into the car washed paid to clean inside my SUV they did a horrible job. Everything seem to have and attitude like it was a bother to service the customer. The final wipe down they did a horrible job missed many areas along doors seals, dashboard and they are overpriced🤬🤬🤬🤬now I see what all the other people mean they do a horrible job. Take you business somewhere else.
Horrible service. After foam, it didn’t even take 5 mins to clean outside of the car. They didn’t even do interior cleaning. Nothing. After drying i came home and touched the window. All water points. They charged me $15 for a 5 mins service. Waste of time, waste of money. Stay away!!
Went in for an oil change and they tried to up-sell me on an $80 belt (part cost only!) and a change to my fuel injector cleaner. This was also $80 for the part only. When i asked the manager there why I needed that fuel injector cleaner he said you need it once a year. I checked with Toyota. This is bullshit. Not to mention how did he know when was that last time I had it replaced.I will not be going back. This place is the stereotypical crooked car service.
Mr. Paulino is the manager. I have never seen such a rude person ever in my life. A person with no ethics, principals and no manners. I offered them website services on behalf of my company and this man was so rude when i start to explain them about the services. paulino just hang up on me without saying anything. Just yawn while i was explaining.
Went got some bumper guards. My husband and I followed the instructions and washed and made sure the surface was clean before applying. The guards fell off the next day when I went to take the product back the next day with receipt for exchange or refundthey advised me to talk to the daytime manager. spoke with daytime manager he said no exchanges or refund. Bad customer service he was rude and not very accommodating.
Be careful visiting this place, not so long ago I had my phone stolen by one of the workers. I talked to the manager about it but he didnt do anything nor did he report the worker. On top of that they didnt put armor all on my wheels even though I had paid for it. Really bad people and really bad service overall. Next time you visit this place keep an eye on your belongings.
Fuel engine service done before it should be, just so they could get more money. After work done, next day check engine light turned on, they reset it telling me it was normal. Turns out they messed up one of the catalytic converters of my car. They didnt want to take responsibility for it. Taking them to court.

2022-04-26Someone stabbed my 20 Truck Tire with a Ice Pick and these guys Not only fixed it but they didnt have the tire I needed but literally went to get the proper tire for me from another shop since I was basically riding on my rim. Tire with service was under 200 bucks.. Great Bunch of guys that did Quick work thought hey had a LONG line & had me on my way within an hour. I got a car wash from them just for the hell of it. BRAVO!!

2022-07-29Was not a good experience to me at all. They rush to wash your car and dont do a good job. I paid and asked for interior and exterior cleaning and my inside was still dirty. My mats were not cleaned and my dashboard still had dust. I had to mention it to a worker and was told to pay and additional feelings of $6 for math cleaning. When he washed the mats he was putting it back in the car soaking wet. I had to tell the guy to dry it before he put it back. Overall I wouldnt recommend this place at all unless you dont care want a quick exterior cleaning. Save your money.

2022-06-12I wanna preface by saying this is my first review ever on google…and this places service was infuriating enough that I felt others needed to be aware…they have no respect for their (paying) customers and outright lie to them when asking to address something that happened to the car after they serviced it…I went in simply for an oil change and came out with an A/C blowing hot air (as I’m driving out of their place). When I went back to ask one of them to help fix it they said they can’t do anything for me with attitude and I asked to see the manager and guy kept walking away from me. Then another guy came, granted he was friendly and explained that my compressor wasn’t working (which was replaced a few weeks ago and was running perfectly fine right before I went in for the oil change) and I asked him what can be done and he said nothing and that in order for him to put in Freon the compressor has to work when IN FACT it’s the other way around…needless to say this is the last time I’m going to them.

2022-05-29I paid extra for the wheel shine super wash and they barely put shine on my wheels. I guess it was my fault for not pointing it out, but otherwise they are pretty good. No real complaints.

2022-08-10States LMC Lube is open 24hrs, but this photo was taken at 8:55pm on a Tuesday. Car Wash may be open 24hrs but Lube is 6am-7pm like most locations

2020-09-14They were quick and did a pretty good job however for $19 being the price for the base package they could have done a bit better on the dashboard. Keep in mind Im very meticulous.

2022-05-10Car came out very clean! Attendence drove my car inside the machine washing room, although I would rather drive in myself for less potential COVID expose. But this option was not allowed. Price increased recently, and is reasonable consider its Manhattan.
