MobileWash Car Wash On-Demand

This service consistently tells you the wrong wait time, has no functioning GPS tracker for the washer's actual location (it just stays in one place the whole time until the washer is suddenly there), and has no customer service mechanism to find out what's going on or easily cancel without being charged. All you can do is call the washer but they are regularly dishonest about whether they are actually on their way or not. It's common to still be waiting for a 20 minutes ETA over an hour after the request is put in with no movement on the GPS and nothing to do but cancel and write to them after the fact to make sure they dont keep their undeserved cancellation fee. All of this is true regardless of whether a person happens to get a fine experience on a given attempt, so any positive reviews are misleading--you may randomly get a decent washer at a time of day that actually works for them but the fundamental brokenness of the app remains. It may have been more reliable years ago but it is reliably bad now. It mostly gets by on having a near monopoly on mobile wash service in some markets like Los Angeles.

Decided to give this service a shot after seeing it advertised on a billboard. At first I thought it’d be somewhere within a $60-$75 price range. Starting price range is about $85 and the detailed wash is I believe $100+ I think I ended up paying $165 in total for one wash. Being that it was my first wash I went with the detailed wash with the water mark removal. The guy did a good job on the wash, but I still saw water marks on the paint. Which have been removed in the past. The inside was a little shotty. Some mirrors weren’t clean and some places could’ve been cleaned better. I know this app doesn’t really offer any report towards the washer. You have to tell them on the spot and that’s your responsibility as a customer to let them know before they go. Found that a little iffy but regardless it isn’t the worst thing. If you have cash and you need a wash. I guess it’s worth it. Definitely would recommend looking at local mobile washes before considering this service. Also if you plan to cancel a scheduled appointment it’s a $15 cancellation.

Ok I didn’t get this app because of the bad reviews. Finally not being satisfied with the other apps that provide this service, I tried it out. I was extremely impressed. You select the location, click through. A washer is found. When the washer is on his way out your Apple Watch advises you. When the washer arrives you interact with the app that the washer is there. They bring everything to wash the car, including the water! (Another app required that you provide the water.) After the washer is finished, again your Apple Watch advises you, and you go out, inspect the car, you can leave a tip on the app, and you interact with the app to say that the job was complete. Very good service.
