Waves Car Wash Reviews

Visited Waves at Tesco Larkfield today. I used to visit occasionally prior to the new management when the cost was £40. This time it’s now £47 and no where near as good a job as the previous guy who was superb. I pointed out a couple of areas I wasn’t happy with when I collected it and the guy sprayed it and wiped it over. When I got home I found non of the wheel arches has been washed and the plastic trim at the bottom of the doors was really grubby and not cleaned. The wheels also had been cleaned from where they were standing but the underside was filthy. So many marks all over the car and no attention to the internal click plates or the area around the filling cap. At £47 I won’t be returning.

Excellent wash and valet of my 118i in the time quoted. Car was like new and the extra detailing by Nina was above and beyond. Would thoroughly recommend

Went into Exmouth Tesco to do some shopping and left my car for a wash. Quoted £17 when I came to pay it was £19... dishonest I will not be going back

Very poor service, so much was missed on my car from top to bottom, even the drying wasnt done properly leaving smears on every window, I was the only one there so you'd think they had time to do a good job, very low standards, won't be going back to waste another £18 on half a job, rain would of done a better job and that's free !

Excellent service. Careful & thorough cleaning. Can always rely on team at Amersham to do a good job.

What an absolute rip off and I don’t know how Tesco allow it as it’s giving them a bad name……..dropped my car off before shopping in Tesco and asked for basic exterior wash and for the next ten minutes they tried to get me to up it to a full valet for £50 and every time I said no they changed the price eventually down to £35 but I only wanted outside done at £15.When I returned 90 mins later they hadn’t touched my car and said they had been extremely busy…………I did notice however a 72 plate Landrover and a nice new BMW sitting in the bays that were definitely not their when I arrived……….he told me to come back tomorrow which is when I told him clearly what he could do with his car wash.These Tesco endorsed car wash companies have set prices but it’s like going to a Turkish bazaar and having to haggle when clearly you just want the price on the board.

Tesco Salford Shopping city carpark. Took my car in today for £30 inside and outside. I specifically told the guy to take care as on the roof there was a small bit of the paintwork damage and not to blast it. Ive come back and the car has been wrecked. They have blasted about a meter square in different places on the car. I wish i could post some photos before and after as you literally would not believe it. These guys think they are cleaning block pavements. I have contacted Waves complaint line and asked that the video recording is saved and that they call me back urgently. I have had no reply as yet. Stay away from these con men. I also contacted Tesco and they were little to no help at all.

Car not clean and stick on overtaking mirror broken. Their response was that you can’t make an everyone happy. They allowed a former regular customer to leave unhappy.

Went for the first time to Waves at Tesco, Burnley and was charged £50 for an internal valet only. I came back to a car that looked like it had been vacuumed and wiped down but it still smelled exactly the same with no 'new car' aroma or air freshener used and lots of marks that i could wipe away myself with a damp cloth still there... I feel like I've just been fleeced and when i returned to show the guys who had done it, i showed them where it wasn't cleaned and how it smelled stale... The clue of a car sat there with the heater on full when you collect with the doors closed and no condensation on the windows, does say to me that no wet carpet or seat cleaning has been carried out... Just for context i was in a small car. Will not use this company again in which ever location it is...

Today I went to the waves car wash in Cambridge to clean my small polo inside and out. It’s always cost 25 pounds. I noticed new people working there and they kind of ignored me and were incredibly dismissive. He then quoted me 70 pound for cleaning my small car!!! I laughed as I could not believe it but he said it was incredibly dirty ?! It was not that dirty. I drove up the road to another car wash where he quoted me a reasonable 25 pounds and he did a fab job in under 30 mins. Never have I have ever been so insulted about the cost of a car clean! Will never go there again and so happy I found an honest company up the road from there

Absolutely fantastic 👏 thank you. We will see you soon 😊

Terrible service at Tesco DISS Norfolk Am basically ripped me off £20 just for a wash Was still dirty after the wash The guy was very rude Wanted to pay by card but of course the machine is broken Never going back

I have used this car wash at Beckenham Elmers End Tesco on several occasions and years ago it was a lot better. I went yesterday to have an interior and exterior clean. We agreed on a price however when I went back to collect my car the franchise owner said it was £5 more as it was dirtier than we thought. Now this is an interesting point. I have no children, and I only use it for taking the dog out and shopping. I had it cleaned a week ago at another car wash service. I just felt that he had my car keys, and I did not want to get into a confrontation with him. Beware as the price they agree is not what you pay when you collect. Also, above all, it was a poor service. I had to hover it when I got home. A lesson is not going back. Also, when I arrived, I was the only customer and when I got my car there was no one there so obviously people are becoming aware. Beware.

Waves at Tesco Didcot. Under new management. The last lot were terrible. This new guy is fantastic. My car was filthy and now looks like new. Thank you

Waves at tesco rydon lane is a rip off! Told me £40 for a wash and polish. Took them 20 mins! Charged me £51.00. Other women have complained that they have been ripped off because they felt it was because theyre female and i got that impression too. Water Lane in Exeter i would highly recommend at £21.00 too.

I decided to get my car washed whilst I did some shopping. The was itself was very good, no complaints but, on returning home I noticed the car badge was missing from the front of the car and the back windscreen had been pushed inwards, leaving a gap. So not recommend and will not be returning here.

Used Waves @ Tesco Northampton -fantastic!!! My car looks like new! I had a ‘full monty’ valet service, as the seats were badly stained and there were crumbs from kids snacks everywhere. I hoped this service would get the car looking pretty new, but they absolutely exceeded my expectations. Staff were also so friendly & really went the extra mile. First time customer but will definitely go again!

Had my four by four done at Tesco Newmarket good job done when I gave the guy my Tesco club card he said he did not know what to do as his manager was not in I have been back today and they cannot do anything about my club card points owed to me.

I was always satisfied with the service at Waves at Tesco in Didcot. But it is now under new management and I will not be using it again. According to local social media, it seems that other people have had similar experiences to mine. I parked by the car wash and stayed in the car while I detached the car key from the ring of other keys. The man came out of his booth and approached me. That's not normal, they're usually too busy for that, and it was then I noticed that there were no cars being washed. I thought he was going to tell me it was out of order or something like that. But no. He circled round the car and told me that it was too dirty! Wanted to charge me an extra £5! Obviously I refused. I said, no wonder you've got no customers. Why would I bring a clean car to be washed? He started arguing that it would take more time, shampoo, water etc. This was nonsense as the car only had surface dirt, it wasn't caked with mud. A second man appeared (there seemed to be no other staff) and, indicating other cars, said "Do you see any other cars here as dirty as yours?" Outrageous. These were shoppers' cars, not car wash customers. There seemed no point in staying any longer and I went to the hand car wash on the Broadway where I received competent and courteous service at a reasonable price. I certainly won't be returning to Waves Didcot under the current management.

First time coming to Laindon one. I was very impressed Mustafa and the guys there went above and beyond to help me with any little requests I asked for along with great cleaning of my car for the price. I will definitely be back.
