Thank you for reaching out. I apologize you are less than satisfied with the determination of your claim. Please know we take all concerns very seriously, thoroughly investigating each concern. The markings being claimed are inconsistent with the wash and equipment and are isolate to one area of the hood. If something were in our equipment causing damage, it would be in a uniform pattern from the front of the vehicle to the back, as that is how the equipment touches the vehicle as the vehicle proceeds through the tunnel. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks, Club Car WashInitial Complaint

I went through the carwash and some time during the timing of the wash was altered. When o reached the end of the wash I the green sign prompted me to exit and when I did the door came down on my truck and damaged the rack and the roof. The attendant took pictures and said she would report it to claims. Claims said it was my fault. When I asked to see the video club carwash claims refused to show me and said I needed a lawyer or police. The incident occurred exactly one year ago today but Im just went to maplewood police and the refused to file the claim and a lawyer may be too expensiveBusiness response

Thank you for reaching out. I apologize you are less than satisfied with the determination of your claim. Please know we take all concerns very seriously, thoroughly investigating each concern. As the agent discussed with you on the phone after reviewing your claim, our footage shows your vehicle is not being pushed by the rollers, indicating your vehicle was not in neutral, like our instructions state. *********** policy does not allow us to send video footage directly to the customers, but we'd be happy to provide that to your insurance company, should they reach out and request that. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks, Club Car Wash.Initial Complaint

I sent a message on this companys website to cancel my monthly membership in December. I didnt get a response until days later only to ask what i needed. The emails began back and forth for about a week or so to do one simple task! First someone responded and then the responses stopped. I called in on 1/7/25 because i was then charged for a whole new monthly membership! I have never experienced customer service so bad in my LIFE! The *** , ***** that i spoke with was so rude and refused to get a manager or supervisor on the phone. I will never get a membership with this company again. They refused to give me a refund even after days of emails and some with no response. This is a terrible way to do business and I will blast them on every social media outlet I have.Business response

Club Carwash is using unfair business practices by continuing to charge people for their services after cancellation!I received a confirmation email stating that my account was closed and cancelled in November 2024 after filing online as required. Recently I noticed a $22 charge on my bank account for ************************ contacted customer service to ask why I was being charged for a service that I cancelled and I was told that it automatically restarted after 7days of cancellation and I have been charged for several months now. It may be possible for a refund but not sure?How is a business allowed to automatically restart a service that is cancelled without my consent? Why is your policy not updated or working to resolve this issue?Business response

I currently have a membership with this company and I took my vehicle to get it washed as I was driving home. I saw my hood completely scratched up. I have called and Im waiting for a return call. I dont know if their appointment in the car wash was not clean properly, but my hood of my ******** Escalade is completely scratched and thats very expensive to fix . I am waiting to hear back from them because I do expect compensation being that good job to fix all of those scratches will be very, very pricey and I cant afford that.Business response

My car was damaged at the car wash, and the company denied responsibility after I filed a claim. They suggested that the damage wasn't there and that there was a delay in filing the claim, despite their policy stating that claims must be made within 24 hours. I submitted my claim within 12 hours.Immediately after the wash, I went to an appointment for an oil change, where I discovered the scratch on my car. I took a photo of the damage, but the claims representative refused to review it.The companys only argument against their responsibility was that there was no further damage to the car.This scratch was clearly caused by their equipment. Unfortunately, the company shows little regard for customer service, likely due to the lack of competition in the areathey've driven other businesses out of town.Business response

On October 11, I entered into the club car wash on crossover Road in ************, ******** with my wifes truck to the attendance directing me and then young man had me locked in to position within what seemed to be perhaps 1 foot of the rear bumper of a big red **** truck directly in front of me, but I trusted the system as always but this time somewhere during the second half of the pass-through car wash with the fabric slashing across my windshield I suddenly felt an impact, and then I noticed brake lights directly in front of me and then everything seem to go to normal . I suspected the individual in front of me had stopped for whatever reason and my car was forced into the rear of his truck bumper and my suspicions were confirmed once I had myself exited the car wash, but by this time the vehicle in front of me was long gone onto the main road of crossover. I then went to the attendance who directed me into the car wash to begin with and they proceeded to file a claim with me. In a couple of days I received an email confirming the accident report. Today I received a call from a young lady who after Talking to me and saying she is reviewing a video comes back on the phone and says unfortunately she doesnt see anything the other driver or anyone did and they cannot see into the car while in the car wash so blew me off. Ive been using this car wash since they opened for both vehicles My wifes vehicle I pay more attention to that or I have somehow fabricated an incident while going through the car wash is ludicrous and offensive. I am tended to file a complaint against the club car wash for their failure to acknowledge any responsibility or anything else regarding this matter. The cost appears to be several hundred dollars to replace the front grill of my wifes 2022 ******* Santa ****.Sincerely ***** ******.Business response

Thank you for reaching out. I apologize you are less than satisfied with the determination of your claim. Please know we take all concerns very seriously, thoroughly investigating each concern. After reviewing your claim, and further discussing with you, we do not have any footage of the incident occurring. We cannot provide any information to the other vehicles involved if we cannot see the incident. Furthermore, our footage did show that you exited the wash with the same amount of rollers behind your drivers side rear tire, as you had when you were loaded. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks, Club Car Wash
