I'm there 10 min before they close and get turned away saying they're "closed, really I look at my clock with worker looking as well. It's not 5 "well we don't want to be drying cars in the dark". I call the office they say I was turned away because dryer was acting up. Truth be known, I'm always reluctant to go there. It's never done well for the price with a tip. Today solidified me never going back. This place is such a disappointment!

Most service requests are honored. The guys work hard to keep the customer satisfied. Usually if you're not satisfied you can speak to someone and it'll be fixed.

Simple put, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
I have been using Bubbles Car Wash for years. Unfortunately, I believe they are now under new management. The past few times I've had my car washed I noticed that the quality of work has taken a turn for the worst.
However, the icing on the cake was this past weekend, I witnessed the manager yelling at a petite woman who was very calming explaining her dissatisfaction with their work. The manager made everyone so uncomfortable including his own workers. No thanks! I'll be taking my business somewhere else.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Autumn B.Fruit Cove, FL01Oct 7, 2023
The manger went ballistic on me, getting in my face, raising his voice, and saying insulting remarks because I asked for some touch ups to the sloppy job his workers did. I asked about the sign that says they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, to which he told me his team fulfilled 100% of the job I paid for. I disagree. I left with my car dirtier than when I came.
I would not recommend this place for anyone. It has been my car wash place for years. It must be under new management or ownership. What used to be good work and customer service has really gone away. They are friendly inside, but do terrible work outside. I literally don't even feel safe being there anymore. 100% don't waste your time and money.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Barbara S.Jacksonville, FL521Dec 6, 2022
Just left Bubbles and am very disappointed in the results. I know luv bugs are hard to remove but isn't that why people use a professional car wash. Additionally and worse in my opinion is that I can write my name in the dirt that was left in the very visible undercarriage just beneath the doors. I complained and the attendant did not seem to appreciate my issue. He wiped some if it but when I asked him to repeat the effort on the other side of the car he clearly was not having it.
I will not return.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Antonio F.Southside, Jacksonville, FL045Mar 5, 2022
This place is mainly convenience over quality. My dad went here after a haircut because we had some stains on the window and paint. We went there and got the best option for $40.
The convenience store smells like cigarettes. It's pretty much just holiday letters and some drinks. when I got a soda, the cashier seemed uninterested, but was still good at her job, so i'll give her that.
When the car got back, they missed a lot of spots on the interior. Dust that was easy to clean, residue that was overlooked, and untouched spots that had the most to deal with. To be fair, there were a lot of cars there, but, cmon, you can't get basic spots for $40? No complaint to the workers, just could have done better for the price
Still never coming back, we will drive to another spot no matter what.
also they changed the radio. -1 pointsHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jennifer C.San Diego, CA1794115Mar 8, 2023

I have to say that they did a good job overall. The staff were busy and making good use of their time and working diligently to get the cars through the process as quickly and efficiently as possible. There were some spots that got overlooked but nothing major. I needed a quick car wash in this fit the bill.

Horrible! The guys drying and cleaning there is no order of how they complete vehicles you had 3 guys on a mid size sedan and one kid on a full size ram, how does this make sense? Not worth the price by a long shot.

Been awhile since I came here. Service went down under new ownership.
Half the people working there can't speak English now and they are very lackadaisical in their work. I was very disappointed. I had full service and only 2 guys worked on my vehicle. They were done in like 15 minutes. All the tires were half done, and many dirty spots were missed on the vehicle. Never going back. The original owners made sure everything was tip top, but now, no one cares and they hardly understand you when you try and talk to them.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 5, 2022Updated review
Not sure new owner, or better management, but a major turn around over last year based on many reasons. I now give them 5 stars.

Also offer several incentives & discounts.
All personnel friendly & courteous.Apr 28, 2014Previous reviewToday was the worst experience I ever had at Bubbles, not that busy and took 44 minutes to get my car, they left my antenna in the back seat of my car after I left & found it after 1/2 hour looking for it, threw my keys on floor (found them 2 hours later, used backup keys in meantime), and left two stickers on car for their instructions, plus front window was still dirty. Management/leadership does not exist here whatsoever. I think it use too................
or else they would be out of business long ago. For $22.50 I expect much more
than this! Small item it was 83 degrees today and in the waiting area for your car they have two overhead fans that either don't work, or they are too cheap to pay electric to make their customers somewhat comfortable while they wait almost an hour in some cases when you count the time in line to get vacummed and to the end.
By the way my first car in 1962 cost $25. so it's hard for me to see the value in this service. I think from now on for $4-$5 I'll wash it myself somewhere else in less time, and only blame myself for the window being dirty. If I was you I would shop around for a better car wash, or for that price; you proabably could get a hard working teenager in your neighborhood to do it once a week for $20. if you supply the
cleaning product at your home. I will never go here again after today after approx.
150 car washes over last 9 years when I moved here. Oh by the way the checkout girl
obviosely could not make change using a computer........Duhh.Oct 25, 2009Previous reviewI have tried four different car washes in NE Fl, and this is the best here; not the best I have ever been too. Very through, do good job, but long wait docking in, and long wait to get your car back; plus high price, and no perks for loyal customers.
