Monarch Car Wash

First time using this place’s automatic car wash. Went in with a scratchless car, came out with a nice 2 ½″ scratch where my hood meets the fender. Pretty sure it was from when the kid was spraying it with the handheld nozzle. Soap was also left on one of the rear quarter panels and dried pretty ugly. Being a 3-​week old metallic black car, these issues stood out very clearly. Won’t be back.

Place is so run down and prices are not correct.
I literally had to beep my horn to get service.
Over priced for a hole in the wall car wash.

I got a good car wash. But I keep $ 20 bucks tucked away in my glove box. And well it was gone so I don’t recommend it. I mean ya it’s a risk leaving cash but it was at the bottom of the glove box in a money clip

This place needs to be updated stat. I have never gone through the hand wash station, I have always used the do-​it-​yourself station, so I can’t vouch for that. They only take coins (both for the car wash and for the vacuums). At this point almost every place I have been to at least takes cash, if not card. The vacuums smell strange, and other places I have been to let you use the vacuum for free. Needless to say, I never have quarters on me and I don’t really want to go through the hassle of getting them just to use a vacuum and get my car washed, so I went to another place.

I went here yesterday and i opted for the full service was for $ 10.95. The guy who washed my car did a decent job. It seemed like he was wiping forever. I got in the car to notice my floor mats where still covered with salt from the harsh winter. There were also many spots i noticed on the exterior that was still dirty. Im not picky by any means but for the time he spent wiping I expected it to be spotless. I may return here since its convenient for me.

I guess I’m spoiled with all the full service/​hand wash locations in Chicago. I drove out of my way to get my car washed while I was in the burbs. It was ok but nothing it brag about.

Ok… not gonna lie… my hubby sent me here after reading a Unilocal review to get my car washed (obviously)…I roll up to this 70’s looking carwash joint and was 2seconds away from calling him and cussing him out for sending me to this shady spot by myself!!! I roll up to the board with the pricing and compared to Fullers, it was a bit cheaper… I got the King and Queen Wash for 15.99 (which includes tax woohoo!!). My car hasnt been washed in who knows how long, so I wished them good luck as I walked down the mile hallway to enter the lobby area.
UHM, WOW! My dude did an amazing job, and even my picky OCD hubby was quite impressed with the cleanliness of my car! It looked AMAZING! I had to give my guy an extra few bucks cause he did a baggin’ job!
It also has a self wash… not sure the pricing, but there are different packing you can get for the touchless wash and ala carte items you can add as well! Will be making this place my usual car wash place from now on!

Top quality car washing and detailing at a discounted price. Very good attention to detail. Great hand wax service. Friendly and polite staff.
