Zips Car Wash ZIPS CAR WASH 2585 Loganville Hwy, Grayson, Ga. 30017

To who it may concern, first I would like to recognize the ZIPS Car wash in my area to be one of the best, thank you.

My concern is with a manager(no name)today as I was entering the pay card drive thru he approach me then started harassing me because I did not want a membership.

That's not the way to retain your customers and grow the business.

Desired outcome: This employee needs to know he's costing loss to the business.

Zips Car Wash Damage claim

May 23rd i went through as I normally do weekly as I have a membership. I drove straight to Apollo to pick up a to go order and noticed while loading the food into my passenger seat scratches down the side of my car. I immediately called Zips and was told to go back to the location to file a damage claim. I did this with the asst manager of the site. After 2 weeks of nobody reaching out I went back and was told to give it one more week. I went back today 6/9/23 and spoke with the site manager who said he emailed the director and regional manager and someone would call me THAT day. It is now 7pm and I have yet to hear from anyone.

Desired outcome: Ultimately would like my door repaired of the scratches. It would also be nice of someone to actually respond to my claim or act as if my membership/claim mattered.

Zips Car Wash Billing Department at Zip Cash

The zip car wash in McKinney has great employees. The staff is friendly and attentive. My rating is based on the corporate office billing department. My car was in a massive hail storm in Allen TX which damaged my sunroof. I called to cancel my membership and they told me they were charging me because I didn’t give a 7 day notice. I explain to them that I had no control over the storm, however they didn’t care and charged my credit card $35, even after I sent them pictures with my destroyed sunroof and explained that due to the backlog in repairs that I would not be needing a car wash anytime soon.

Desired outcome: I would like to have the $35 change refunded to my credit card

I came today to have my 2009 Chevy trail blazer washed and I planned to clean the interior with the vacuums they provide and wipe it down with the spray bottles and rags they provide. I paid 25 for the ultimate car wash. While it didn't get the back very well it did do a good job everywhere else. Half the vacuums either have very little suction, or they...

Zips Car Wash Car wash incident

Date of Incident: December 26th, 2022 @ 10:20 am
Name: Julie A. Gunther
Vehicle: 2015 Ford Edge
Reported By: Caleb Wilkins at ARCON_Oak
Zips Cash Wash -

I've had a horrible experience with a car wash claim that happened back on 12/26/2022, that I have not been fully compensated for. I'm short by $716.34. This entire situation has been stressful and taking months to resolve. I've had to drive to the Conway location from North Little Rock on two separate times trying to get Zips Car wash to handle this claim. The first claim was denied, I went back and argued as this 100% was not my fault. The second claim was approved, but I was not reimbursed the full amount of damage. I had to take time off work to get a quote, get the work done and rent a car. I signed the final release/settlement after finding out that Sally's Body Shop left off the cost to fix my bummer, which was for $716.34.

That was an honest mistake, but this is not the way customers should be treated. This claim took over 3 months and I still am out money. This is beyond frustrating to me. I literally had to chase down and fight to get this claim approved (by going to the Zips location and sending multiple emails with delayed response time) and know I'm being told b/c I quickly signed the release that I have to pay out of pocket the $716.34.

I'm requesting Zips Car Wash make this right and reimburse me the $716.34 additional they owe me for my car damage and all the hassle I had to go through for this. Honestly - this is one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had to deal with.

Please, I'm asking please make this right with me.
See pictures and receipts attached for proof.

On April 8th 2023 my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee was badly scratched while going through the Zips Carwash on Glory Rd in Baxter MN. An incident report was filed immediately but after trying for over 4 weeks to get an update or resolution, they denied covering any damage because “the vehicle is over 7 years old”. The Jeep has no rust or any other cosmetic...

First, my husband advised the young lady at the Lake Wales location that he did not want additional charges after the promotion. However he was charged anyway and even after sending an email to cancel, he has been charged 3 times and we don’t use the services anyway because it was dulling the paint on the cars. I’m very disappointed in the lack of service...

Zips Car Wash Zips carwash location and services

I went into the car wash the other day, and noticed that there was multiple vacuum's laying on the ground and not working, Also there was no pre rinse when entering the car wash like they have done multiple times that i have went. The facility was dirty and trash everywhere, The staff there acted like it was a burden to be there and also there was no wash clothes to wipe inside of the car down. I have been a member there for awhile now and have had great service all the other times.

Desired outcome: For the vacuums to be fixed for a good and best experience the car wash has to offer

Zips Car Wash Car wash, towels and vacuum's

I have been to the new car wash in Baxter by Walmart a few times and no one is ever around to ask questions. No towels and today the vacuum hoses were not working and no one around to ask questions, why. The towels are never available and that in itself is frustrating when you have a membership. Drove over to the other car wash near Bremer bank and their hoses had no suction either. Again, no one around to ask questions or direct cars into the wash. Stood in the office for a few minutes and then two young men finally walked over from the other side of the wash. I asked why the hoses weren't working and they looked at each other and smirked, guess that is a maintenance problem. I looked at them and they just smiled, like we don't really care. I told them thanks for the help and maybe I would just cancel my membership, to which they said, go ahead that's up to you! I told them to have a good night anyway.

This is not the kind of experience I expect when we have been customers since the opening of the first one.

I am so very frustrated with the whole organization and their staff.

Zips Car Wash Membership / customer service

A membership was created for me that my bank records obviously show

1. I never used.

2. I didn’t know I had.

3. Their license plate system doesn’t work.

Proof is that bank records show I paid for washes during the time I was also paying for this membership.

When I realized I was being charged for a membership and not just the occasional wash. 8 months of charges had been taken for a total of $280.

The customer service offered a refund because their records showed similar usage BUT, I was told I would only receive three months refund. Why?

Because this was the only time I complained and their policy is three months max.

Now to me, that policy translates into “Yup, this was our mistake but, you’re dumb, not our fault, go f$&? yourself”.

Desired outcome: FULL refund of remaining five months charges and cancellation of any and all memberships, recurring payments, or any other services in the zips system.

Zips Car Wash Charged my wife $105 without her consent

My wife went to Zips on Memorial Rd. In Edmond, Oklahoma and purchased a $10 wash in November. She was charged the $10 and on the same day, she was charged an additional $35 and put on a recurring membership and charged $35 3 times total before we caught it on her bank statement. I emailed a Melody about it and requested the $105 refund and provided the information she needed to track it down and hopefully fire the employee who did it.

Her response was that she would stop the future charges, but as far as a refund on what was already stolen, all sales are final and no refunds. So if you are using Zips and a credit card, you better beware as they are probably stealing from others as well.

Desired outcome: I would like my wife to get her $105 refunded immediately Also, I would like the employee who made the illegal charges fired and charged criminally and I think Melody should also get her walking papers as well.

This Company did the same thing to me. Charged my card for over a year without authorization. They did issue me a 90 day refund but have not refunded the money that they stole. I have contacted the company and I'm in the same boat ... getting nowhere.

Use extreme caution with this company!

Would be interested in getting with you and launching a class action lawsuit! It's wrong and they are doing it to a lot of honest people.

Now that I found this site ... I can send all of these to my lawyer, to show evidence of this happening to others.

I've been with Champion Car Wash which switch to Zip's even through the pandemic. Consistently washing my car at least every two weeks. When the pandemic hit and the car wash was closed I still continued to pay my membership fee. However, the quality of service drastically began to decline in 2022.

Zips Car Wash Car wash damage to my vehicle

I went to the car wash on Feb 13. My vehicle is in like new condition and is only 2 years old with no dents or scratches. As I went through the wash, I noticed that the roller brushes seem to be way more aggressive and even jerked my vehicle back. I frantically looked around and even wondered if another car hit me. The car wash slammed into my car on the back drivers side and and then jerked me back, and then slammed the back. When I drove through the dryer I saw in the mirror that it tore my back side fender and it was flapping. I drove immediately to the office. A man approached me and said he saw the whole thing as he was in the car right behind me. He is willing to testify to what happened. The car wash employee came over, pushed back the side panel so it would flap around then took pictures of the damage. My side and back fender is broken, my remote antenna is broken so I can't use my fob to lock and unlock the doors. The employee filed a claim and said Kyle West would be calling me within 2 days. I received a email from him stating in a generic response letter that it was denied. I sent 2 subsequence emails with no response. The phone numbers listed do not work. The Car Wash needs to pay. I will go to small claims court, if I have to. This is not my fault, it is the fault of the car wash and I need my vehicle fixed.

Zips Car Wash Car wash customer service and integrity

On January 27, my car was damaged at a ZIP’s Car Wash. The blowers were set to high and blew out a large rear window, trim piece. The car wash Manager, Bruce Holdsworth investigated and found the piece was run over and destroyed in the blower area. He then closed the car wash so he could turn down the blowers. He said they were set to high.

Naturally, one would think ZIPS would replace the trim piece. WRONG

The Manager stated that it was their fault and we had to file a company claim. I preceded to go ahead and file the company claim for the $252 trim piece knowing I may have a battle on my hands with an irreputable company.

After THREE WEEKS and several emails I finally heard back. It should have been approved and closed within a week based upon the documentation provided. Of Course, the damage claim was denied!

Thankfully glad to say it was never a question about the money. It is the point.

This businesses like many others did not take ownership for the problems they inflicted upon their customers. This Is One of Those Organizations.

Kyle West from their corporate office told me my car was old and to file a claim with my insurance company. REALLY, an insurance claim deductible is $250-$500. The replacement piece was $252.

Thankfully car washes are all over the place in my area and I can take my business elsewhere. Hopefully, you to can do the same.

Desired outcome: Go out of business and management suffer personal hardship due to business practices instilled in operations.

I went through the car wash like I do several times a week. My car is only 2 years old and is like new, no dents, no scratches. This time is brushes hit my car in more aggressive way and tore of half of my bumper. I have a eye witness to all of this. I drove around to the office, the manager came out took my side panel snapped it back and then proceeded to take pictures of my ruined Bumper and said the claim would be filed and I should hear from Kyle West within 2 days. I did hear from him by email and it was just a generic statement saying they denied the claim. I sent 2 different responses with no results. No one will contact me or reply. This is not right. I will take them to small claims court.
