Stewart Detailing

I’ve taken my car here about 5 times now and drive completely out of my way to come here, so it’s probably time for me to write a review. I’ve been super satisfied each time with the detail of the cleaning especially for the price. I always get the wash that’s $ 14.99 and my car is like brand stinkin new!
My tip regarding the windshield guys is to upfront say you know the spiel and you’re not interested. They usually back down with me after that. :) I do wish that they had coupons to print out online that I could actually use, however since prices are cheap already I’m not complaining too much.

Great car wash at a reasonable price! I love the fact that everything was done by hand, and it really wasn’t any more than the machine washes. Everything was as clean as the other reviews mentioned. The wait is about the same time as other places I’ve been, so it was expected.
Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was being approached by the windshield guy. It seems to be standard practice now, but boy is it annoying.

Ego adveho, animadverto Stewarts tersus meus vehiculum
I started this review in Latin, because Latin was the dominant language of the day when Stewarts began the process of washing my car:)
I don’t mean to be cranky about that, nor am I implying that they didn’t do a good job… they did do a good job and they do a good job whenever I stop by:)
But Crikies… They really take their time!
I stopped by recently for a car wash, got the medium… nice job!
I really don’t know how they size their washes… one wash has «tire dressing»…a fancy way of saying «ArmorAll on a Rag»…another kind of «super-​size me» wash has something special that they squirt on the car as it goes through the line…(I’m always suspicious of stuff that they squirt on the car… really, they could just be turning on the light and sign that says «Now Squirting Super Size Wash Stuff» and that would be all that’s happening… I want to trust, but after Danny’s, it’s not easy:)
So it’s medium size for me… I think with the medium, they are more likely to squirt the right crap on the car, plus they vacuum it all out (don’t you just love to say «vacuum»…what a wonderful word!)…clean all the windows and they dry it all off and it looks shiny and bright:)
Stewart’s does a very sweet job!
And they take their sweet time doing it:)
I’ve probably been to every flavor of car wash in the valley, and these guys are near the top for performance, in the art of washing cars (in terms of attention to detail, not boogering up my car, not being too expensive and not trying too hard to sell me greeting cards, windshield replacements and hula girl air fresheners:)
Where they are not near the top is the length of my stay with the Stewart Family… I always hope for a shorter experience, and it always feels like I’m waiting for a pie at Bianco’s…really!
I’ve washed, dried, vacuumed, cleaned the windows and applied ArmorAll to my own car in less time than it takes these folks… really:)
But as I get old and lazy, I’d rather watch other people do the work, and I’m happy to pay for that privilege:)
I just don’t want to watch it for 45 minutes (even when it isn’t even busy)
Still, you’ll note that I’ve given Stewart’s Family Car wash 4 stars (and you know I don’t round up… this is no 3.5 star’s and I’m feeling generous).
I do swing by here when I’m in the area and have some extra time:)
They do a nice job and thorough job, they are friendly and accommodating, and (unlike Lindstroms a few blocks away), my chances of being rounded up in a Sheriff Joe immigration sweep are pretty close to zero:-)

I actually came across Stewart’s when looking for a place to do a full detail on my old car, but I had ruled it out for car washes when their website only listed a deluxe wash for $ 50. I could wash it myself for that much… I didn’t say I would, just that I could.
On my way home from the movies today, I remembered Abu J had told me about a place that does hand car washes. I didn’t even realize they were the one and the same until I went in to pay. Not all the washes are $ 50. They start at $ 4.99! $ 4.99 for a hand wash, can you believe it? Being the big spender I am, I splurged on the $ 12.99 deal which included vacuuming, windows, etc. I really don’t even know what the difference is between this wash and the $ 50 one, except maybe $ 37. I guess the deluxe wash is more detailed?
In any case, for $ 12.99 I have no complaints. Sure, there were a few water spots, but if the cheap washes are this good, I’m sure their detailing services are well worth the price, although they do seem on the high side to me. So thanks, Abu. My new car is new again!

Hands down the best car wash I’ve been to in Phoenix.
Not only is it a 100% hand car wash, but the people drying the cars really care. I drive a 2006 Lexus GS300, which has a gas cap area that always holds water, then leaks and leaves an ugly watermark on my black car. I talked to the guy drying my car about it and he took extra time spraying out my gas cap area with the compressed air to ensure it was dry.
You wouldn’t guess it from the look of the place, but Stewart Car Wash is an absolutely high-​class car wash. AND, it wasn’t pricey at all for a car wash.

I came by here today to get my car washed after driving up to Payson… dirty with bugs and whatnot. This place does all washes by hand so it does take a little longer than the automatic places… but I feel it was definitely worth the wait. My car was so clean and pristine. They do a great job and the employees are all so nice. I will definitely be returning.

Stewart’s Detailing is AWESOME! I took my car there yesterday to be washed and they asked me about having it detailed. Now I wouldn’t normally go into a place like this, it looks a little tired, but man do they do a GREAT job!
1) They ASKED me and did not push like so many other of the car was chains in the valley. I thought it was a little on the high side for the detail, but once I picked up the car today I discovered it was well worth the money.
2) It’s a hand car wash, not brushes or «soft cloth» that beat up the finish on your car like other places.
3) They are very efficient and have a comfortable inside and outside waiting area. Even though it’s a hand car wash it doesn’t take any longer and in fact can take less time than the corporate giants.
4) They were able to get marks off the interior trim that had been there a long time. The car is six years old and while I take good care of it a beige interior shows heel marks on the plastic trim and they are tough to get off. Not for Stewart’s though, the interior looks like brand new.
I highly recommend having your car detailed here or just washed here it will come out looking like new again and you’ll be proud to drive down the road!
