Manlius Car Wash

This was a mixed experience. I called the owner to complain about a poor wash job. He apologized, and offered a voucher for a free wash to come back and try them again. They are working on improving a failed business.
I will give them 2 stars, and do a new review once I go back.

Great local wash. New management really improving the location and taking it to the next level.

For Manlius being a a nice town it had the worst car wash I ever visited. Its old, outdated and poorly kept. A lack of drainage in the car wash bays means you have to do the job while standing in two inches of water. The spraying hose has weak pressure and the stickers to select what type of spray you want (soap, rinse, ect.) are mostly gone.

Not very happy with this wash at all. I went to the drive through and did a premium wash. It was 9 dollars and I feel like they just stole my money. It is not powerful at all. I came out of the wash and looked at my car and it looked almost exactly the same. It was still dirty! It wasn’t like my car was in really bad shape either. I then had to go do a manual wash after paying the 9.00. The manual wash was 2.50 and the time they gave me was so low I had to put in 4 extra quarters and it still wasn’t enough to rinse my car. I do manual car washes all the time so I know this is not normal. I had to go back and get more change and pay ANOTHER 2.50 for a full manual wash just so I could rinse my car. I now have a clean car 15 dollars later. Thanks Manlius Car Wash !
I don’t usually write reviews but I but this business stole from me so I would like to prevent this from happening to others too.

For car washes in the area, you can do better. For a car wash that you rarely will have to wait in line for, you can’t find a better option. The Manlius Car Wash was pretty good some time ago, but then shut down and has recently reopened within the past few years. With its reopening it has seemed to get a bit worse.
A recent trip here to use the manual car wash found 2 of 4 bays down, and the ones that were working were in rough shape (standing water, missing stickers on the difference wash controls, and a quarter slot that turned a car wash into a carnival game). I normally use the automatic car wash, but that can be finicky as well. A premium wash here will cost you $ 9, which isn’t horrible.
The car wash also has 3 vacuums, which is nice, as well as an array of armor all and other cleaning products that can be purchased for a couple bucks.
If this place was able to clean up just a bit then I think it would be the best wash in the area.
