Mike's Carwash is a family owned and operated chain based in Cincinnati, Ohio, with locations across Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. Since opening in 1948, it has grown into one of the largest exterior-only car washes in the country. The business is known for providing a quick, quality wash with a friendly smile, aiming to leave every car looking clean and well maintained. Customers consistently praise the staff for their friendly attitude and the thoroughness of the wash, often leaving their cars looking like they were detailed. The ultimate wash is popular and effective, making cars super clean, and the team goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction, even on chilly days or with challenging bugs. However, some customers note that the wash quality can vary, with some saying other places clean and dry better for the same price. A common concern is the charge for vacuum use, as many other car washes offer free vacuums and additional supplies like spray cleaner and towels. The vacuums at Mike's sometimes have quality issues, with reports of hoses detaching, poor suction, and difficulty in use. Despite this, overall, the staff’s friendly service and the quality of the wash are highly appreciated. Mike's Carwash continues to expand, maintaining a reputation for friendly service and a clean car experience, though improvements to vacuum quality are desired.
