  Heavy on sales expensive...so so wash and the person selling the washes upfront totally lied about the time to get in and out. mother's day, not that crowded. I asked how long to get the car washed. He said 10-15 minutes. very short line of cars going in or out. after 25 minutes I had to leave ...they never finished cleaning the inside. I won't go back. I felt greasy leaving the place.

  Very confusing on how to get an exterior wash and dry without being a member. The money taker said just tip a few bucks for a dry when you're through the wash. Three separate lanes when exiting the wash, non-members (the go away lane), members (get a dry), and then the interior detail. I “tipped” $15 thinking I was getting the interior done. Got a two minute dry and there's your car back. Do not recommend!

  They clean my car well this time It's better to bring your car when they aren't busy, than they take time to clean much better than busy time

  After trying a lot of car wash and detailing services over the years, I decided to purchase the annual unlimited package at Waterway Carwash and paid for the full year upfront. Overall, this is one of the more professional and consistent car wash operations in the area. The facility is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the process runs efficiently every time. The unlimited plan makes the most sense if you go often. I usually stop in multiple times per week, and in that situation the value is there. If you only go once in a while, the single wash price is close to a hand wash, so the membership is really the way to go. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the finishing work. The drying and vacuum crew does a good job, but not always the level of detail I expect when paying for the top package. They are always willing to touch things up if you ask, but at this price point the final result should be more consistent without needing to point things out. Overall, very well-run operation and still one of the better premium car wash options on the North Shore but just not perfect every time.

  Oh no, no, no. Do not come to this Waterway Carwash on Skokie blvd. They gone downhill. Used to come all the time to this car wash not no more. They don’t throughly clean the car and you have to pay extra for a dry. Not worth it.
