★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Bianca Usher · Feb 2026

I literally just left this riptide car wash on victory Boulevard and the machine got stuck while everybody was in the middle of it. Then, as the car is in neutral and it is rolling, it literally hit the person in front of me because she got stuck at the end and couldn’t get out. Oh my God I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. I will never go back to this car wash again. And then I tried to call Customer Service to let them know and there’s no option to speak to anyone. You can’t drive back around to tell the people at the gate that it’s not working because if you go through, you have to go back through the car wash. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life, very angry customer.😡

★★★★★ 5.0 Kassy Archer · Jul 2025

The ease of using this car wash and the facilities and amenities provided (rags, cleaner, 2 types vacuum nozzles, car fresheners, etc) are so convenient and accessible that I gladly pay the membership fee and use the facilities as many times as I need to. Also, the management is super involved in the community and it is great seeing this business invest back into their community. I highly recommend this place for any car washing needs you may have. Some background: I had a Green Clean membership for my XL vehicle. It was not what I needed as the simple act of entering the car wash was a chore. I quit them as soon as I experienced this car wash.

The first day seems to be going good. You can tell everyone is learning how to keep the traffic moving but the team did a great job! With the traffic of offering a free wash the process was really fast. I stopped in again. I really need to get the membership.

★★★★★ 9/10 I had a great experience at RipTide Car Wash! The staff was friendly and efficient, and my car came out looking spotless. The wash process was quick but thorough, and I appreciated the quality of service. The free vacuums were a nice touch, making it easy to clean the interior as well. Only a small area for improvement, but overall, I’m very satisfied and forward to my Sunday car washes!

★★★★★ 5.0 Cindy Bailey · Mar 2025

Great car wash to use! . I normally request no bristle for my car and it cleans my car to perfection. I use the vacuum and I’m out the gate in no time. Good place to wash your vehicle. Clean and safe environment.. Check them out!!!
