I had a monthly subscription for unlimited carwashes until yesterday. As I'm about to enter the car wash an employee runs up to my window and asks for my unlimited sticker. He says that I need to place the sticker on the outside of the windshield. I said that I don't want stickers on my windshield. He said, "Then we'll have to cancel your membership." and walks away with my unlimited sticker. After the carwash I ask them what the big deal is with having the sticker on my windshield? The employee said, "We require the sticker be on the windshield." I said, "I know, but why?" He said, "To prevent people from washing multiple cars." I asked, "What's the difference if I wash the same car 30 times a month, or 30 different cars in a month?" The employee said, "Uhh, you'll have to ask corporate about that." (Facepalm) I understand the employee is just doing what he was told to do, but this was such a strange encounter. And such a strange policy to enforce. Do they not have the technology to determine if the car make, model, color and license plate matches the membership? Oh well, I'll just find a less odd place to wash my car.

Overall decent place except don't really like the self service vacuum only style system they have since I pay 75$ a month plus tax for unlimited washes,it covers exterior cleaning and wax,and access to the self service vacuuming but the vaccums are a little ineffective and need to be maintained,maybe have the brush tips for getting stuff like hair off the car mats ,I do like the air compressor though to clean hard to get areas ,in between buttons and stuff,If they offered even a quick vaccum by an employee before the car gets ran through the automated wash ,that would feel more worth the cost, the automatic wash sometimes takes a couple runs to get it clean as I prefer ,that's one of the more.positive things about this place is if you pay a monthly membership ship it's unlimited washes and I can go through 10 times in a row in the same day if I needed to ,if they eventually offer a pre wash vacuum/interior clean by a crew even just the minimal I would change my rating to 5 stars

  • Skudmonkey 2.0!

This car wash is fantastic! This car wash always makes our truck shiny and gets the job done, but I think the locations with Sonny’s and MCWW equipment cleans and drys a little better than the locations that have MacNeil equipment. I’m sad to say that, because my aunt use to sell MacNeil car wash equipment. I hope they replace the 2 express locations in Albuquerque with Sonny’s and MCWW equipment, because the MacNeil equipment just doesn’t clean as well. Don’t get me wrong, MacNeil equipment still does an okay job. One of my complaints about the Central and San Pedro location is that we always have to make a complicated u-turn, because of the stupid ART bus lane, but that’s not the fault of the employees. Also, the response from the owner just seems like customized copy and pasted replies.

  • Gee Willis

Yesterday I went to get a car wash and paid $20. The person at the drive up was super helpful and I almost got the membership for an extra $30. Good thing I thought about seeing the quality of the wash first. We go through the wash tunnel and I noticed that the left side of the washing wasn't working. When I vacuumed out my vehicle the line to speak with staff was already too long.I basically went and bought cleaning supplies and went home to wash my vehicle myself, the protectant basically sealed the dirt on my vehicle. I dont understand why they would continue to charge people if one side of the tunnel did not work. I have went to several locations for carwashes in Albuquerque and always had this type of problem. I would recommend asking if the machines are working before paying.

  • Con Jackson

Some times my tires aren't shined like they should be. Your location on Menaul and eubank I have a problem with. The premium customers have a much longer line and the pay as you go customers will be in a separate line (shorter) and will be let through before some of the premium customers that have been waiting much longer. One of my trucks has a spot in the middle of the rear windshield that I have to do by hand because your machine does not reach it. Some times the soap is a little scares which is understandable but it is a little inconvenient. Other than that I am fairly satisfied. I am looking into other carwash monthly prices. I moved here from Texas and the company I used for my vehicles was 19.99 a month and they would give you a discount for adding other vehicles.

  • None Ya Business

If you're going to constantly get your car washed every single day then I guess the monthly plan is worth it. Every time I come out of the car wash I have tons of lines and scrapes from the machinery at the wash. I usually have to go through it 2 or 3 timesget an accurate wash. Every time I look at the rear end of my vehicle it has a ton of sand lion still coming out due to the jets not being powerful enough to blast around the areas throughout the door. I just don't feel that $30 a month is worth it and let is worth it unless you get your car washed every day. That point you're just wasting people's water which is another problem in our society.

  • Aaron Borders

As a Car Wash Operator in Little Rock AR, I know what to look for. Customer service was great. The service guru was very informing. Bad news though, this car wash causes fine scratches due to the lack of soap. I purchased the $18 best wash. I just did paint correction on my 2018 Subaru WRX before traveling to NM. After the wash you can see fine scratches all over my car. While entering the wash there was little to no soap being applied to my vehicle. ( Keep in mind I had 0 fine scratches when leaving Arkansas and this was the first wash I stopped at.) This car wash could use more foamers! Do not use this car wash. TRUST ME!!!

  • Roberto Vasquez

Lots of drug activity. All the workers are rude. Hateful mean, they all have problems. It is the worst place to get your car wash. The solution that they use leaves a residue on your windshield on your body of your car. They rip you off. Don't go there lots of drug activity. And they rip you off by charging you what they charge you 20 some dollars for a car wash, you can just go to the spray and wash and do a better job in yourself or go the police places at Walmart or K mart and drive your car through the car wash that doesn't use brushes. And it's better and you try it. And the brushes damage your car

  • jay James

Best deal in town. For around $20 a month for unlimited wash and the use of space and equipment to clean out the interior of my vehicle. I particularly love the air hose so I can blow out hard to reach areas. Unfortunately, in order to signup you have to go directly there to do so. To cancel my membership they don't make it easy enough. You have to email them with your information. They do respond in a day or two but still-- they have a website all the have to do is place a link and it's done. Although I'm sure it's a ploy design to keep people signed up longer than they we would have like.

  • Mario Del Angel

This used to be the place to go because of their good prices. Now, it went up from 7 to 9 dlls which is not too bad I would still pay that for their most basic wash. What really made this the last time to go there was that now they ask for tips when you pay. Of course you do not have to give a tip but just the fact that they ask for a tip is not acceptable. A tip for what? I believe tipping was for workers getting paid less than the minimum wage, This is feeling like being taken advantage of. I also want to receive tips for doing my job.

  • William Richard

This location is…. By far the best carwash in NM. The staff is always there to greet you with a smile and a solid hand shake. The views are nice, the air and vacuums actually have power. If you experience any wash issues or have body trim disappearing into the suds, Jason and his crew will do whatever it takes to make things right “like tire shine in hand” if the machine doesn’t do its job. I speak from experience and I would recommend this Location and Mister Carwash with the platinum package to anyone.

  • Lisa padilla

I have not been here for a while but there have been some changes. There used to be a pre scrub. This is no longer the case. My car looks the same as when it went in minus some dust and added smears of dust that didn't get touched by the brushes. There are still bugs on the front bumper. To add to this, prices went up. I paid for the " platinum". I Most certainly did not get " platinum" service (car wash). I gave a two star because vacuums work good and they have compressed air guns that help.

  • Megan McAfee-Erskine

I paid for the premium wash which totaled something like $17 bucks. My car was still so dirty when I got out to use the vacuums. The folks working there were fine. However, I won’t come back to this car wash. I could literally wipe dirt off the rear and front bumpers. My car wasn’t filthy going in and it sure wasn’t clean coming out either. Unfortunately, I got the wax option and now have dirt waxed into my car. Super, super disappointed.

  • Amanda Camaro

Everyone is friendly, but they're kind of lazy. Like, they don't spray off the car and do nothing to ensure the vehicle actually gets clean. I end up leaving with dried bird poop on the car nearly every time, I might as well go to a different location so I know my car will actually get cleaned. The picture is all the bird poop that wasn't cleaned off pre-wash or by the car wash; It could have been taken care of with a quick spray down.

  • Justin Kesselring

When this place was Clean Machine Car Wash, they always gave me a disposable cloth to wipe the interior of your car. Then, they’d scrub the grill before my car started on the conveyor. Mister Car Wash, who bought out Clean Machine, does neither of these things. The cloth is the thing I miss the most. The point of an automatic car wash is the convenience. If I have to buy and store my own interior wipes then it becomes less convenient.

  • Diane Santi1

I don't like my debit card used for Everything. I carry cash for different things like this carwash. Once I started the membership and they processed my boyfriend's card twice in a month for it, 2 months in a row. So I get there (hadn't in a while) and no cash, card only. Since when has a car wash been so ghetto fabulous?! Yes in the Southeast of ABQ. Needless to say I did wash my car, everything worked fine there

  • Patriot TrumpStrong

Was not happy. They broke the laser cut computer type key to my Honda civic. The girl tried to argue with me that I could get a key for $10-$15 dollars. BS those keys are $150.00 I've made two extra keys for this car. I wanted them to pay for replacement cost all's I got was two car was coupons. Not happy at all Edit contacted has they asked and heard nothing back. Not Suprised. My key cost was $177.00

  • Tania Mondragon

Mister car wash is the best.. I purchased a unlimited monthly pass. It's awesome deal, free vacuums. Different deals of what you need.. The staff is very helpful. They have different locations all over. The one on San Mateo over by San Pedro is my go to. Any Many more even being built all over. 20 highly recommend to all looking for a great carwash friendly staff great looking car after. .

  • Sanda S

I like this location to dry my vehicle because it's usually not as busy, and people keep to themselves. The water is really good here compared to other locations, and there is a lot of soap, but I don't think the tire shine goes on consistently and very much. And the vacuums are just okay... Like I said, I go here to dry off my vehicle, usually from the drive thru one down a few blocks.

  • adalberto nunez

Bunch off lazy and bad character people I wish I could show them how to dam pre wash a vehicle more than 6 times I went in with my truck and still didn't came out clean paying a basic or premium wash they are too used to not even pick up a spray gun I asked the guy and the so called manager to spray my rims none of them did it they pretended to do soo

  • Eric Sipfle

If you get the monthly deal, it is incredibly cheap. They have awesome free coffee. I haven't figured out weather I am getting free coffee or free car washes. For $1.50 a day, I get both. If you drive for a living, it's a total no brainer. I swear I don't work for them, just a Lyft/uber driver.

  • B A

Consider becoming a member'! It makes the task of visiting the car wash so easy; remaining in your car for an exterior wash or for interior/exterior - there're comfortable waiting areas available. The employees are super polite and cheerful which I appreciate during these stressful times...

  • Jason Gabaldon

If you are like me I wash my car all the time ,well come to find out they charged d $ 21.00 for a whole month as many times as I want 2 times a day if I chose, and they have the vacuums right on the side. It's a great place to take your ride, and also they have a super friendly staff.

  • John Northrup Jr

I have a bigger truck and it works perfectly with all of your guys locations but I wish all of the sites had the self vacuum service side only two in my town and both are far but I still go I love the way my truck looks after I’ve been there thanks guys and girls

  • Dylan Fortney

Don't come here. They have audacity to ask for a tip for what? The guy that's supposed to be in the tunnel and presoak your car only comes out of the room to get thr conveyor belt moving and then disappears. Definitely need to hire more qualified people.

  • jeNN

Eric the manager and staff are so amazing! Excellent customer service! I highly recommend this car wash, the vacuums work great, the area is very clean and the trash cans are not over flowing with trash. Another plus, they have vending machines!

  • Anaya Jones

There's a reason I pay for the membership I loveee it ! I always go through before and after I clean out my car and I just feel so good about it ! Staff is awesome too . The lady offered to spray off my matts I was super appreciative ! Thx guys

  • Sergio G

Just when mister couldn't get any worse they remove the compressed air from their DIY vacuumes. I really only went there for those and every time I go through the wash there are still water stains and bugs and what not. I will NOT be returning.

  • Miguel Ramirez

My car was dusty and it was a lot of work to wash it myself before coming here, glad I did, I like how shiny it is now, but I paid 17$ for the premium and I feel uneasy they didnt confirm it was me before the wash. Wish that was communicated

  • Ana Brain

I just went to Central and San Mateo Terrible customer service!!!and they do a very bad work! I had to stop on the next gas station to finish to clean my back windows and the silver rings left them dirty, they only clean the driver side

  • Wasan Cartwright

Its baffling why Mister has 2 car washes within a half mile; however, this one is probably one of my fav in ABQ. Nice compressed air and vac. Vending machines with all the fixings. No fuss great customer service. Will repeat business.

  • Mohiuddin Ahmad

Don't buy the monthly plan. If you do so, they will automatically charge your card that you may not even notice. At least they need to mention it while purchasing. Nobody has time to read terms and conditions for a simple car wash

  • Samuel Nevarez

Always fast, friendly service! Never disappointed in the wash and the vacuums are superb. I drive 12 miles from home just to go this specific location. 30ndollars a month is a price you cannot beat!!! Recommend recommend recommend

  • Freydis Kretschmer

I love Mr car wash! It's a quick wash you get free vacuuming the stuff is friendly I mean you don't have to deal with too many you just mostly with the people that you pay and there's a gentleman that works there that's just a gem

  • Chris Irving

Cars get nice and cleaned. They also have really good vacuums and airspray gun. If you need any help, Mike, there is a good employee. If anyone needs help, he is there to help. He also was keeping the place clean when I saw him.

  • Laura Hutcheson

Their staff at the entrance is helpull and friendly, but is not a full service car wash. You go through the tunnel to wash your car by a machine. I just arrived from a trip, so my car needed a good scrub. I'm disappointed.

  • Turtle Walker

The employees are awesome , place is always clean and comfortable. Always a warm welcome when you drive in manager goes beyond for us customers, This is the only place I wash my car and recommend it to everyone! …

  • Anthony Sanchez

Best car wash in Albuquerque 21 dollars a month for unlimited washes I use to pay about 6 every week at those do it yourself washes then I found out this was 7 dollars every wash or 21 a month for unlimited can't beat it

  • Christopher States

At $7.00 for a basic wash plus free vacuum, it's cheaper than just the wash at any self service coin operated car wash and then you pay for the vacuums as well. The blower at the end of the wash also did a very good job.

  • Pamela Nolan-Muir

I've actually not been 2 this location, but I have been 2 the one in the heights. I really believe they are just as awesome! They pay attention 2 detail, whether it's a simple wash or the detailing of your vehicle.

  • Enrique Archuleta

Probably the worst car wash I’ve been too, paid 45$ for premium and tipped well, my truck looks like it hasn’t even been vacuumed and pulling out of the wash the manager shaker his head knowing it was poorly done

  • izzy izzy

Best service I have ever had from Miami to Los Angeles. Judge actually came up to insure I was happy with the car wash. Their still quite a few bugs stuck in it. So he offered to re wash. It came out perfect!!

  • Juno Raby

Excellent customer service. Had a problem with damage to my vehicle and the Manager Jason and Asst. Manager Brandon immediately resolved the problem to my satisfaction. Beyond that the service there is GREAT!

  • Emily Sandoval

Mister car wash is okay. Kinda upset that they don't do the inside of your car also with the unlimited. You have to pay $8 for them to just vaccum it. I'll probably renew only because we live on a dirt road.

  • Valerie McKinley

Unlimited car washes for only $30 a month. They also have very good vacuums available for use. Drive in and out within minutes. Customer Service is GREAT! They always great me with a friendly smile and wave.

  • Diana Owen

I don't mind having to vacuum my own vehicle but I seem to pick the stall that the vacuum doesn't work well or the air nozzle is broken. Won't stop me from coming back but gets irritating is all.

  • Candis Craig

My vehicle used to get cleaned when I went through the wash, now it's sloppy and the back never gets cleaned. And that's for both my truck and SUV. I don't get what I pay for. Very disappointed!

  • Brad Eagle

I love this place. They do a great job washing the car, and cleaning interior and exterior when you get the premium car wash. I love it so much, I get the monthly unlimited premium package.

  • Kevin Burger

Prices are reasonable. Car was clean. No missed spots. Stay in car for wash. Vacuuming and cleaning inside of vehicle you do yourself. I didn't use this feature but the setup seemed good.

  • Stephen Ormsby

I'm going to start wearing a sign around my neck absolving me of every crime saying I'm not "responsible" just like Mister Car Wash. The human element of customer service is non existent

  • Robert Martin

For a drive-thru, I was amazed by how clean my car was, my rims are super shiny, and the wax? It couldn't have been more polished if I had done it myself. (That was a compliment)

  • Ray Ray Ray

They usually do a good job. However, if their equipment wrecks your car, they'll hide the video from you. It's prudent to video what you can... Right, Chris and Sam?

  • Stella O

Love the unlimited car washes, but the workers don't seem to care enough about doing the job right since they know you can just come back, but it's not convenient.

  • Harry. Smith

The best carwash in town, this place makes my car shine like new for a 2013 black painted car. You can purchase the unlimited wash package like I did. Thank you.

  • Jerry Tighe

This visit was better than most of my other times. The attendant was more through this time and spent more time spraying areas where the brushes wouldn't reach.

  • Chad Chavez

I like misters cause its affordable,easy and I love you can blow out the excess water with the air they provide. I will be a customer for years to come.

  • Derek Victorino

The Mister carwash on Central/San Pedro is good. Dont go to San Mateo Montgomery. That one sucks, the workers are rude and something is always broken.

  • MJSR 2026

Vacuums here are a big plus here. Also the little air pressure blower thing comes in very handy. The employees keep it clean and in working order.

  • Joel Harvie

This is a really good place to wash your car. My only concern is they formerly provided rags but no longer do. Is this due to Covid? I don't know.

  • J Mendoza

Took my work car for a wash. Didn't realize they charged separately for a vacuum. Was sent up the road to another tobvacuum free. Great guys here.

  • Scott R. Wells

Paid $34 and had to grab towels myself to complete the job while they had a good chuckle. If you want your vehicle 60% clean it is a great place.

  • Jen Lucero

Great customer service and did the job! Assistant manager was very kind and told me all about the services. Thank you. I'm a customer for life!

  • Joshua Cheese

I have a membership, it's so easy I just ride up and go right through to get my car washed very convenient I recommend trying mister car wash.

  • Brian Garcia

The one on central and San Pedro, the employees were very respectful and welcoming. I locked my keys in the car, they helped me get them out

  • Juan Lopez

Quick, quality service, cleans well, and multiple blowers/dryers that prevent water spots. Bonus, the vacuums are free at this location!

  • AV M.

Good car wash if you like to do it yourself. Busy area, and when leaving, driving out of the car wash campus is difficult and congested.

  • Mary Martinez

Employees are always very nice and helpful. Vacuum station is always clean and in 4 years never had a problem with broken equipment.

  • C Note Benny

Easiest drive thru car wash in abq and has a membership program to help ensure your car is always clean. Not to mention free vacuums

  • Benjamin Wallace

I dont have a car or truck!!!! I have a few friends that go to Mister Car Wash,they have always said they get good service their.

  • Dante Mitchell

They keep the car shining, and with the monthly service im in and out within 10 min. at least 5× a month so it's well worth it.

  • Kurt Sr

Always a great car wash here. However, it would appear the tire shine was only applied on one side. Free vacuums is AWESOME.

  • R Dissassa

Perfect as always. I enjoy being able to vacuum and blow out the dirty bits from the vacuum and blowers they have available

  • Cristal S

$20 a month for unlimited washes. Great employees too!!!! Love this and can’t wait until their los lunas location opens!

  • Mark Thain

The carwash was great but the vacuum cleaners have low suction. It was hard to get the dirt out of carpet because of it.

  • Vance McMillan

The experience was top notch. The staff and management went above and beyond. Best Mister Car Wash in town! Thanks,
