On 8/30/2024 I went to get a carwash at the stated business and paid $9.99. After a short pitch by an employee about the different services and subscriptions I politely and explicitly declined any upgrade or subscription. I recently found out that I have been getting charged $22.99 per month for the last 5 months without my consent.After cancelling the subscription they are declining to refund the money from the subscriptions I never used.Initial Complaint

Ive been a loyal member here since they opened, paying over $30 a month. Recently, my car was damaged in the car wash due to what appears to be a belt malfunction, as shown in the video footage. Its been over a month, and I still havent received any updates about whats being done or who will cover the damage to my ***. Ive spoken to multiple employees, yet no one has been able to help me or provide a resolution. I even have video evidence of the incident, so I dont understand why this process is taking so long. Ive since canceled my membership and would strongly advise against using this car wash, especially if you value your vehicle.Initial Complaint

They charged me $29.99 on 10-19-2024 and then charged me $41.99 for the same car on 10-21-2024.The next month did the exact same, charging me $29.99 on 11-20-24 then $41.99 on 11-22-24.Customer service refused to give back the $41.99 for either month, and told me that she was the only person in the company I could talk to about this. Have never had any company charge me twice for same month, and for a lot more money each time.Initial Complaint

On September 13, I was getting my car washed at LUV car wash in **************. As I enter the car wash and I was few minutes in tunnel and car was moving forward I heard the loud noise and before I realized a part of equipment came through the front windshield of my vehicle and I held brake and stop my vehicle. The system stopped and with help of their employees I was able to remove my vehicle from the car wash.They asked me to fill up their form and I would receive a call from them to pay for damages and their form does not provide phone number or email for their plain department. I have not received any call or email from them and it has been 20 days . I use my vehicle for workInitial Complaint

I visited the Luv car wash (***************************************) on Aug 20 to get a one time car wash which is usually $9-12 - Upon checking my bank statement I had been charged $22.99 for Aug and Sept for unlimited car wash service - which I had not used once in the two months. I did not remember signing up for this and would never (my car is not worth it!). I contacted the company who claims I checked a box to agree to this membership. There is normally an attendant at the screen but this time nobody was there and I chose the one time wash. They have refused to issue a refund after several emails and phone calls and upon further investigation of reviews on reddit I am not the only one to have been duped like this. *****************************************************************************************************Initial Complaint

I went to the car wash and had canceled my membership in the past as I did not feel I was getting the quality or value I expected from the price. So I canceled the membership after the 9.99 for one or two months. I went back to get a la carte service but was Informed by the person on site there is a promo for 9.99 for two months and that I was eligible to sign up for again which I did. The promo was advertised as 9.99 for two months and then regular pricing after which was around $36/month +/- after one month at 9.99 which shouldve been at 9.99 for two months, I realized I was already being charged full price at ***** after the first month when it shouldve been 9.99 for two months. I called in many times for a refund as I did not authorize these amount and luv car wash did not honor the 9.99/month for 2 months. I was told I opted for all the love membership which I did not and no one bothered to ask me which package I would like. I honestly did not see the difference between the basic and all the love option. It does not dry very well and I always have to wipe it down after. For the price I do not see the quality I should be getting and seems like a scam to not even ask me which membership I prefer so to me, Luv Car Wash lacks integrity. The customer support said theyll give me an extra free month without charge but I felt scammed already and not concerned about getting an extra month free. That does not equate to the amount I was charged without being informed and I am asking for a refund which has been escalated to the management team who I was told would get back to me within 24 to 72 hours and it was been way past that and the matter has been escalated and still no one from the management team as reached out. This is not the way to do business and scamming or ripping people off is not going to be sustainable for your business. I dont want to have to keep chasing a matter that could be easily resolved by doing the right thing and provide a refund.Initial Complaint

I signed-up for a $9.99/month (for the first 2 months, then $24.99/month) car wash subscription with this company under the claim thatI could use the subscription at any of their locations, but apparently so did everyone else. It is near impossible to use the subscription because the business is frequently so busy and has no traffic management pin a dangerous location for the stacked traffic it causes.My complaint however is that I asked how to cancel my subsection and was referred to their website and assured that I can cancel my subscription there. HOWEVER, once you create a profile and login the "Manage Plans and Prepaid" page on their website (clearly intentionally) goes to a page with no ability to adjust anything nor even see any details. I have screen grabs and have tried from multiple browser to ensure it is not a web-browser compatibility issue.I just want to cancel my membership but also feel they should be slapped firmly on the wrist for such shady business practices.I have received what I aped for outside if their limited availability too provide the "unlimited" car wash they market so need nothing but for the to cancel my subscription and REPAIR the website to allow others to not be in this position also.Initial Complaint

Luv Car wash has been charging my company credit card every month for at least the last 36 months. I was going through a divorce and thought this charge was for my ex-wifes car, but I recently discovered it was for my vehicle which has been there exactly once, and no monthly account was established. We did have that arrangement when it was a full service organization, but that arrangement had lapsed when the Company shut-down for a major conversion. I tried the place once, after it reopened and was not happy so I moved my business elsewhere. But they continued to charge me for years. To add insult to injury, people at the carwash say you have to call the main office, and no one answers at the main office when you do call. LP# 7JBE118-CAInitial Complaint

I signed up for a membership at this car wash and after the second visit I noticed it had destroyed the factory pinstripes on the hood of my vehicle. I spoke to a manager and left my phone number but never heard back. On my next visit they told me they will not fix the damage or replace the stripes, they also issued no refund for my membership, this manager did admit that its their spray washer causing the damage and that theyve been aware of the issue. On yelp I saw that over a month ago the same spray washer damaged the paint to their car and ruined their soft top. It seems the company has knowingly continued business knowing the car wash is dangerous to the vehicles and they seem to be avoiding righting this wrong.
