After having it washed, always have spots on my truck after it dries. And the SGF car wash has been closed for 3 days.
Best car wash in town. Cooper was extremely knowledgeable and talked me into purchasing a monthly package for the same price as a single wash for my first month!
I’m a member of the Clean Car Club with the Graph-X4 package. I usually go to the Quaker Road location 2-3 times a week, depending on the weather. I visited this Tidal Wave Auto Spa location for the first time and it was a major headache!! The entrance to turn into the business was confusing. I followed a guy who was ahead of me but we both ended up in the Bowling Alley parking lot with no way to get to the entrance of the car wash. The signage for where to enter needs improvement! We both turned around, but he ended up leaving the area altogether and didn’t try to figure out where to enter the car wash. I left the bowling alley parking lot and made my way back towards the front/side of the car wash. I found the lane to drive up to the entrance, which was a tight situation. As a Clean Car Member, I went thru the gate for members only and the employee directed me into the wash bay. I received the appropriate car wash that I pay $53.47 a month for. Exiting the car wash was easier but getting one of the spots to park to check the car out and hand towel dry it was nerve racking! That area was pretty filled up and there was barely any room to maneuver around. The vacuums are free and they give you access to clean towels and cleaning products. I always towel dry my car by hand because it always has water all over it and the wheels are always streaked with product/brake dust and have to be hand-cleaned and wiped off! The tires get nicely shined. I ended up getting a spot to park. There was only one other spot left available for someone else. The guy next to me in a SUV used the vacuum that was between us the entire time I hand dried my whole car. Luckily I didn’t need the vacuum because I keep my car immaculate. He did apologize when he was finally done, which was nice of him. That area was very busy and a tight space. The whole layout of this car wash is awkward and chaotic! I can’t believe they chose this property to put that big of a business there! Even though I now know how to enter and exit this car wash, I will not be back. It’s too compact and not worth my time or effort. I will continue to use the Quaker Rd location in Queensbury. Their operation/property is much much larger, there’s plenty of room, and no worries at that location.
Really great car wash. I'm typically a fan of the bay style DIY car washes because I like to make sure my wheels and tires get clean (especially the front wheels). But I was pleasantly surprised how clean they got here! Free vacuums are an excellent touch. Friendly staff as well. I was just passing through and rarely review places, but I wish this same car wash was by my hometown!
I am really happy everyone here is excellent I just moved here from Colchester Vermont and they made my welcome here greatly enhanced they're right around the corner and the service is impeccable you won't see me going to a different car wash
These guys are amazing. On first wash the car wasn’t cleaned well, the guy came to me and said he’d do it again. I rolled back in and he scrubbed my car. Thanks. They do care about the work
My vehicle was damaged by the car wash. Replacement part cost $212 and change. The location said it had to have been my fault. Claimed the car was already damaged. This is a pic of the car. Shiny, well-maintained late model vehicle. Not damaged (with the exception of the damage caused by the wash). Don't use this location unless you're willing to risk damage to your car without recourse. What other business on this planet can simply put up a sign absolving themselves of any liability and then blame the customer? Oh, and they do have a great big bucket of parts from customer's cars, also removed by the wash same as what happened to me. But insult to injury, they evidently "lost" my part after I complained. And still refuse to make restitution. Or even refund the $30 car wash. Again, it cost over $200 to repair this damage.
I am extremely happy with Tidal Wave Auto Spa in South Glens Falls. My wife told me about this newly owned car wash spot and that we should check it out. I’m really glad we did. We were able to get the car wash pass for only $20 since they are having a special where your first wash is the same price of your first month I could not be any more pleased with the results of the car wash! Usually whenever we get a car wash (even with all the add ons) our car still has water spots and/or the car wash missed some spots.. definitely not the case here!! I have some pictures of my wife’s van after the wash, I think it looks good! The staff are also very friendly and I will definitely be renewing our membership for the more expensive package if this is what the $20 gets us.. plus, free vacuum’s With purchase of a wash or membership! (Free cleaner and rags)
Need more professionalism, cars should be completely pressured washed before entering the machined wash
Great spot
Awesome!
amazing.
Dishonest corporate customer service. And their machine does different things each wash even though I had a plan for the same wash type.
Very friendly workers and very clean and easy! Love coming here to get my car cleaned!!
Doesn t own up to their mistakes when their equipment damages someone vehicle.
Great car wash. The crew even got me back into my car after I accidentally locked myself out while vacuuming!
Rob was amazing and absolutely hilarious. 10/10 would wash again. Please give Rob a raise I m not kidding.
We have a membership so we come to Tidal Wave often. It does a great wash with free vacuums after. Everyone who works here is always pleasant - but there is a young man named Rob who makes my day. He is always smiling, always welcoming, and always goes above and beyond. If you ask for a little extra tlc in spraying off hard to remove stuff like bugs - he is happy to do it and always with a warm greeting and a huge smile. Keep up the great work Rob and keep on smiling! 9/2024 update I was having a membership issue and today when visiting the car wash Austin the Manager was quick to assist. I was double charged I noticed in my bank statement and he was able to get my card updated in their system and issued me a refund. That to me is excellent customer service - not to mention Rob is still here smiling and Austin along with all the staff at this location greet you with a smile and a hello - thank you Austin and your great team!
12:20 friday afternoon. Guys was awesome. Appreciate the customer service!
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Great service, great that they have vacuums and cloths available. Staff is always friendly.
Outstanding custtomer service every visit
They ALWAYS have smiles on their faces and take the extra time to scrub my car sparkling clean!!!
Staff is wonderful and friendly, my car has never been cleaner!
Nice employees, wash is good. Doesnt really clean the back of the car that well.
Such a fun experience and I have a clean exterior! The staff are super professional and friendly
Always ready to go. Towels and spray bottles are clean, dry with filled spray bottles!
Everytime I get a perfect wash and employees are attentive and professional
Friendly service !
We ve had the membership since they opened. Awesome car wash, strong vacuums, and friendly staff
The staff is always very friendly and helpful!
Steve is the best. He was so helpful. This is my favorite car wash!!
The service is very excellent! The car is also very clean and shiny.
Always very eager to help
Steve was phenomenal! Great wash will recommend!
I have the membership which is something i would never do at a car wash but I take my car at least twice a week. Always satisfied with the quality, and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Never a long line because they get everyone through very quickly.
South glens falls location is where it s at! They always make sure to wipe away all the bugs off my car before i go into the car wash, always super friendly and kind! I love it here!
Best car wash in town - love this place Friendly service always smiling!!
Very helpful employees and super nice!!
Most excellent car wash ..so many great cleaning options and the staff of all of them are incredibly nice!!
Did great on my tire shine . Very thorough and kind!
I was at Tidal Wave in South Glens Falls on July 13. My car looks wonderful. Great experience. Friendly people. I would recommend Tidal Wave over other car washes.
Austin and the crew are absolutely amazing, they go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. I always tip and they are so grateful.
Courteous employees, excellent job cleaning my car one of the staff even power washed my rubber mats for me! Love that the vacuums are in both sides and the cleaning products they provide for free!
This place is amazing. Hands down the best car wash facility I have ever been to. I drive 40 miles to get here and I pass four other car washes on my way. Youve got to check them out!
Austin and team are great!
Love this car wash, came through and spoke to Steve. He was extremely knowledgeable, had all the right information. Thank you, Steve!
Service area was fine but their customer service was not! I had called and canceled my membership and was told it was good for another couple of weeks. I was charged the following month and when called to discuss it and request a refund I was emailed and told there would be no refund and I have until the rest of the month to use the service. I had the email to confirm it was canceled as well! I did not use the service often being the reason I canceled so wouldn t be using it the rest of the month! Expensive monthly amount.
Went there and had my truck washed and left with a bunch of scratches and marks all over my truck will never go there again
Amazing customer service! My car was spotless, and will definitely go back! Thanks guys!!
Austin was very nice and helpful. Answered all my questions and I was in and out of there just how I like it! Thank you
I liked it a lot more before the re-vamp. I went to park and some guy comes up to my car absolutely spazzing that I was apparently too close to the building. I know how to drive a car, but thank you. He had my back so far up that I was sticking out into the other of other cars. He said the vacuums were $3 (weren t they free?), so okay whatever I offer him $3 cash. He says they don t take cash anymore?! Not to mention the vacuum I parked next to him as noticeably broken as soon as I rolled my window down to talk to the apparent lord of the parking lot. Needless to say I didn t wash my car here because I don t want my bank card charged a measly $3 and found this guy s demeanor to he way over the top. It s a yikes from me. Save yourself a headache and go somewhere else. Update: I m now finding out that it s $3 unless you re getting a car wash which I planned to. I always vacuum my car before washing it, but no one bothered to ask, did they?
Best car wash around!
Vacuums and cleaning supplies are great and convenient! Also, battery died while I was there and an employee named Chris very generously went out of his way to help me out! Very appreciative
Great carwash, excellent staff. Probably one of the best carwash companies in the area.
Great place. Friendly and helpful. Did a nice job on my truck.
Austin and his staff at the South Glens Falls location are all so very professional, courteous and focused on great customer service! They go out of their way to welcome me every time I go there...which is almost everyday! This business has been a great addition to our community in terms of quality of service and value. An overall very positive experience each and every time!!
They went cashless. Unacceptable
I paid for the 30 days free car wash for $30 dollars and used it once and they charge me $54 THE NEXT DAY OUT OF NOWHERE!?
Tidal Wave car wash in S. Glens Falls is awesome! If you haven t gone there yet, you need to. The wash itself is fantastic and does a great job. Interior vacuuming is included. Also cleaning supplies are provided. I joined the unlimited wash club. It s well with it. What makes this car wash above all others is the friendly staff. They greet you with a smile and always thank you for using their service. One staff member that stood out was Steve. He went above and beyond, offered to pressure wash my floor mats and made sure my experience was a pleasant one.
Been using Tidal Spa for almost a year. My Prefered Carwash Place! I have the Dry n shine monthly plan and can wash everyday the staff greets you with a nice smile and are happy to trade ducks with my Kids My car looks great Tje vacuums are free and they have all you need to clean the interior I like the set up much better than Hoffman Wash Better Value.
Love going here . Thanks
Best car wash ever! Even their cheapest wash ($10) comes out looking really nice. The free vacuums and window cleaner work excellently. Nice absorbent rags for drying. Staff is always very friendly.
Love the fact that I can just get in and out of here. Staff are super friendly and your always greeted weather your a returning customer or if its your first visit. prices are very competitive to the other local wash places.
I went to tidal wave today and the experience was great! Austin was such a great help! He was sweet, caring and funny! I will be sure to return!
Issac was very nice and polite
The attendant Isaac was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions.
I am a member and have had pretty much great service, however one of the guys waving me in did not direct me at all and I hit my tires on the track I was not happy wish I knew his name.
Employees are super friendly and efficient.
All of a sudden you need to pay for vacuum if not getting carwash false advertising I get my vehicles wash there alot sometimes just need vacuumed sign says free vacuum
For an automated car wash this was one of the best Ive experienced washing any car. not only does it have The blowers at the end after it has a humongous dust buffer to get any drops missed.
Great wash for my Jeep, keeps it looking new! Service with a smile.
Employees go above and beyond. They are always courteous and do a wonderful job. My car looks great after a wash here. We wont go anywhere else!! Support this business!!!!!
Immaculate car wash with great prices, friendly staff and impeccable customer service. Nowhere else beats tidal wave!
was my first time there was not super impressed at all especially for the price. when I got home I noticed the side of my truck was still pretty dirty and streaky.
I love tidal wave care wash my car looks grate after going threw it
Staff is rude, do yourself a favor do not get a membership from them
I ve been there customer like 4 months. Everything work good. But every time i go there the blonde girl gives me an attitude about something new. Every single time! I m not paying 32$ dollars to get attitude. Besides her everyone is polite. Today I said I would like talk w manager and one guys show up and says if u want cancel it. Like who wants to lose their customers? Manager supposed to find a solution but he s like u can cancel it. After all this I cancel it my membership. I m not recommending this place.
Does a great job washing your vehicle and the employees are super friendly and helpful.
They are selling a package for $34.00 as a 1 month fee for washes when it is actually a monthly subscription that they automatically deduct out of your account. When I called customer service and asked for a refund because of the fraudulent way it was sold I was advised that I would not be getting a refund back. I asked for 1 month refund and this has been deducted each month for the last 4 months and I just happened to catch it. I accepted the fact I missed it in the past and a curiosity for 1 month should have been authorized. My response to the companys blanket statement would be obviously it is not being sold as a club membership based off my above comment. It was NOT made clear and after a conversation with the teller at the bank MULTIPLE customers have called to stop the deductions because they were not told it was going to be monthly. So if the teller at the bank was more than familiar with the situation and Tidal Wave then there is something wrong with your sales pitch.
The experience and service I received bringing my Porsche was exceptional. Rims and tires came came out looking brand new, staff was super friendly and helpful. Its great to see customer service is still alive!
Employees are delightful. A great team at South Glens Falls!
Always leave with a spotless car tires are always on point and staff is always very welcoming and smiling. Best vacuums in town and always fresh towels.
Do not use this car wash it s highly over priced and they damage vehicles. My Audi and Denali truck were victims to this place. Dented rim on my Audi and a scratched rim on my Denali truck. BEWARE
I had a great experience. Rob was super helpful, smiling the entire time. 10/10 would recommend.
Was having a rough day, came to get my car washed and Rob was wonderful. It is refreshing to see someone with such a great christmas spirit! Will be returning!
Great customer service from Rob, he makes the whole experience. 10/10
My car always looks great and Rob always has a smile and is so kind!
My car always comes out looking so nice and your staff Rob always brightens my day.
Rob always assures my car is clean to perfection. Thanks rob.
One of my favorite places to go to for a car wash. Robert there provides excellent customer service and I m always satisfied every time I leave!
Love it when Rob is working, because he always greets me with a big smile A smile goes long ways.
I wanted to try out this car wash since I had just moved to the area. I was looking to sign up for the unlimited program for winter, but I needed to try to wash out first. Car washes are something I do when I d like to relax, as soon as I pulled up I didn t even get a chance to put my car in park and I had someone barking at my window. I told him kindly I haven t been here before and I m going to look everything over I do not need help. He proceeded to offer me washes to which I had no time to read the details of. I told him I m good, I don t need your help I d like to look it over, I don t know yet. To which he replied So the basic wash then? Shoving a board of washes in my face. I felt extremely harassed after I told him I could take care of it myself. I m not buying anything I know nothing about and I m certainly not going to be bullied into a wash without knowing the details of anything. I told him I can pick a wash myself without being harassed. Reminding him I m aware he is literally harassing me at this point. He didn t stop harassing me. He just stared at me, and continued to push different wash services upon me. I left and told him never mind. This is quite literally the definition of harassment. How displeasurable of an experience. There was no line behind me, it was 26 degrees in the middle of the day, there was no rush what so ever. I d rather not drive all the way across town to get cheaper services elsewhere, but at least when I tell the employees to leave me alone, they listen. Some people do not want to be bothered, and that s why we come during slow times.
I had a great experience here at your new car wash great environment, but most importantly very helpful and friendly staff such as Rob.
Robert Topala does the best service, he made me pay only 2.2 bucks!!!!!
$30 a wash? Your competition does it cheaper and as good .
Check your undercarriage totally unhappy with the service not getting what I was told
Had a very clean car after going thru and was satisfied with customer service
Just wanted to share my first experience I had with tidal wave today I just moved down here from Indiana and have never tried a tidal wave until today and would like to say I was very pleased with the way I was assisted and helped with purchasing my wash/membership, I definitely recommend this place, left my car squeaky clean and also they offer free use of micro fiber towels which is a big plus!!
The service here is great for both the self service and wash tunnel, prices are great too.
This place is sick, all the workers are very polite, my car looks perfect
WOW.....This is a great car wash! They were offering a free wash for their grand opening in South Glens Falls NY so, I figured why not. The staff were great and my car never had a better exterior wash, plus free interior vacuums - and who said there is no such thing as a free lunch! Great new business to the area, do yourself a favor and check them out.
Service was great, courteous and I love the vacuum area.
Amazing car wash place as of now. Its number 1 for me.
Horrible customer service. Paige is a joke she cant even properly respond to an email all her responses seem automated. The customer service agents are rude when you call the toll free number. The employees at the car wash are friendly but thats about it.
Friendly service BUT...Ive been a member for 2 months and not once have the bugs been removed from my front bumper. Went today to do my my son and daughter-in-laws car and had to tell the attendent multiple times I was good and didnt need help purchasing my car wash. Then I go back with my car and not a peep or hello because they already sold to me. Also the attachmemts on the vacuums dont allow you to get those hard to reach areas.
Love this car wash it s the best in the business!!! Brandi is amazing and is always smiling when we come through the gate!!
Amazing job on our Nissan, vaccums work great and towels to dry my car were very nice! Customer service was excellent!! We purchased a membership and glad we did
Quick, quality, and overall great car wash joint. Will definitely be back!
Came in from out of town, needed a car wash and was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism of the whole crew, including the manager.
Tidal Wave Auto Spa is amazing. Worth every penny for the membership.
Tidal wave auto spa I would say they are the best car wash I ever been to. Friendly people if u have problems they will help u with anything. The Vacuums are the best cleans the carpet deep clean. I am a tidal wave member I go every day I do save money so if u like a nice deep clean wash go to tidal wave care wash in south glens fall. Thank you tidal wave.
Such a great car wash! It s awesome to finally have one in South Glens Falls! The service is great, Brandi and Skyler were awesome. It s nice to see good customer service these days!
The staff are so friendly and helpful
Brandy and Skyler are the best car wash attendance Ive ever met. Recently switched over from Hoffmans after having them for over 6 years. Tidal wave car wash is always clean functioning properly and best of all offers the towels and window cleaner as a standard for free. Oh in the free vacuums are great to.
2nd time here and facilities are great. Staff was courteous and knowledgeable about features and informing me of my options. Met Brandi who could not have been more professional. Bought a membership and will recommend to friends and family in the area.
First time there since opening had to say the vacuum system was very impressive staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the car wash did a superb job even on my little hamster mobile. Definitely comming again
The staff was very helpful in explaining the various packages. More importantly, for an automated car wash, it did a fantastic job. I will be back.
Nice clean car
Chris was helpful in setting up my monthly wash plan! Thank you!
Brand new facility that hits all the marks. Friendly service,modern equipment, top notch vacuum system,fair prices,easy access,and fantastic membership offers. 5 star facility.
My car comes out really clean every time! I m not close, but worth the drive when my car is dirty!
Been going here for the free vacuum s but today I was approached buy a girl saying I have to pay $3 for a vacuum unless I m getting a car wash. I didn t see any sign explaining that clearly. I know for a fact others use the vacuums for free. It s deceiving and false advertising. I m filling a complaint with the state.
Great car wash! The basic wash is only $10. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Everyone was super helpful and friendly.
Had my truck washed today and had great service from the young man rob. He got me set up and on my way with a clean truck in no time.
Best wash in town. Its the vaccums that do it for me. The suction from vaccums at other places is weak and also costly. This place gives u free vaccum service and cheap monthly subscription choices. 25 for the full monte. Well worth it. Keeping the salt off my baby like pros I would highly recommend.
Amazing experience! Tidal Wave Auto Spa is the place to go. They let me know if you sign up for a membership, your first month is the same as a single wash! You can wash your car everyday if you wanted to, that s like $1 or less a day and if you don t like it you can cancel anytime!
Best car wash in town!
Absolutely great place chemicals they use are absolutely great ..recommend to any and everyone!!!
The vacuums are great but they falsely advertise that they re free on their sign out front. They re only free with a car wash apparently. Not coming back
Very professional and well informed. Extremely helpful for the technologically impaired.
