Car Wash near Rensselaer, NY

“When I first went to this car wash I paid for the best car wash they had. However, it was a touch-free car wash so it did not remove all the dirt off my car. I talked to the management. They called the owner at home and he personally came down. Had me go through again and then gave me another free car wash. As far as some of these pictures, it looks like water spots on the car when you're leaving on automatic car wash. It's suggested that you drive less than 10 mi an hour for at least 2 minutes to dry the car off completely because if not you're going to get water spots left on your car. Have a good day!”

“Obviously free vaccums is why you come here. The car cleanings are ok but the automatic one doesn't get deep into the care for 25 dollars. Just you the self clean if you really want it to come clean. All and all great place for a car wash with options”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Hands down the best auto-detailing and protection shop in the Capital Region.”

I don’t usually write reviews, but The Works Auto Center deserves every bit of this one. From the moment I pulled into their shop, I could tell these guys operate on another level. The communication, the professionalism, the honesty — everything was just top-notch.

I brought my vehicle in for a ceramic coating and some interior work, and the results blew me away. The paint looks better than when it was new. The team took their time walking me through the process, answering every question, and making sure I knew exactly what I was getting. No upselling, no pressure — just real experts who clearly take pride in what they do.

The shop is spotless, the staff is friendly, and you can tell the owner genuinely cares about both the quality of the work and the customers’ experience. It’s rare these days to find a business that combines skill, integrity, and insane attention to detail.

If you’re thinking about detailing, PPF, undercoating, or anything to protect your vehicle, don’t waste time shopping around — go straight to The Works Auto Center. Worth every dollar, and I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else.”

“I had my 2021 Honda CRV Touring detailed and ceramic coated this past spring of 2024 at Next Level Detailing (JP Harrell).
I had used Next Level previously and was impressed beyond the words already on most of the reviews already posted....I'll just add "incredibly good results".
This time however I put JP and his wonderful wife Lynn to a really big test......late spring there was a wet heavy snowfall locally and I brainlessly used an aluminum handled push broom to "push" the snow off my Honda and even though I realized the broom end had buckled due to the heavy snow I just kept on using the bent broom like I was dumber than a bag of rocks.
A couple days later I noticed a big scratch on my door handle and thought that was weird until I looked over the entire car.....OMG I was devastated seeing scratches all over the place and it was all my fault.
I went to my dealer and they said best thing to do is repaint the whole car and I said no I'll live with it.
On my way home JP came to my mind and while I doubted anything other than a complete repaint job I was up a creek.
Yes I knew JP's expertise but I doubted even he could salvage what I had messed up.
I wish I knew how to post picrures on here because JP somehow someway magically made my car 100% scratch free and looking better then when I bought it.
I write this on 10/17/24 after just washing my Honda by hand using ceramic car wash then rinsing and using a rubber squegee and microfiber rag...... start to finish in maybe 15 - 20 minutes as the ceramic coating looks like glass.
JP also treated my windows with something that I was skepticle about but now would recommend having that applied to any new customers as well.
JP and Lynn I apologize for my late review but I assure you that I shall return and offline I'll recommend you to anyone asking me where I got my car detailed.
5 stars plus!!!!!!!!!”

“A great company for washing vehicles with a reasonable single price and a nominal subscription at the beginning and a high fee upon renewal
The introduction of a smart regulator, professional guidance, and malfunctions or weaknesses in some suction devices after washing”

“This may be the best car wash I've had in the area. Like most of the car washes I have visited in the area, it's mostly self service. They have a drive through wash and free vacuums along with glass and all purpose cleaner for the spots the automatic wash missed.”

“I can say that I’m always wanting my vehicle to be clean and presentable. So to say I spend time in a car wash at least 4 times a month is an understatement. Hoffmann’s car wash facilities are the BEST of the BEST I have experienced over the many years of keeping my vehicles presentable and detailed. I recommend Hoffman Car Wash to any and all who want an excellent experience EVERY TIME!”

“I have an unlimited car wash sticker in the Oneonta, NY car wash. The actual car wash is immaculate, and the landscaping is welcoming. However above all that positive I must address the employees and managers. The team is above my expectations!! Each employee welcomes me with a smile and wave. If you have a question they take the necessary time to answer your question while keeping the line still moving. Thank you Oneonta Hoffman car wash.”

“I love this place!! Economical, the touchless does a great job, and the under carriage gun is worth the extra couple bucks. I wipe my car down after each wash, so I can confirm how good a job it does.”

“Prices are good, can get packages, however there is always soap still left on the car, whether it's a door or mirror, or tire. Otherwise, vast majority of the car gets a good shine. Take cash or credit cards at a vending machine right before the entrance, and get a discount if getting gas.”

“Hoffman's is ok...its like one out of maybe three carwashes in this one horse town. I guess it will have to do. No hand wash places up here...which sucks.”

“I can't say enough positive about "Chris" who is a supervisor at the Colonie store. I walked in initially asking if someone could look at the side exterior of my vehicle. It had a substance on it that would not wash off. Chris took the time to not only look at the issue himself and attempt to see if he could spot clean an area but also readily offered to provide the full treatment service himself, if I had immediate availability. Since I wasn't planning on such prompt service, I said I could come back the next morning. The next morning at 8am, Chris met me and went to work on my vehicle. Although he was only able to remove enough to make it less, visable, his willingness to provide excellent customer service made it all worth while. He is a wonderful asset to your company.”

“It's an okay place to get your car done but I'm not 100% happy because it doesn't fully dry your car and get everything off that you expected but not highly recommended 100% I would give it a five out of 10”

“My mom saw the ad and really wanted to donate to those in need yesterday. The staff were really kind to her, they came right up and discussed the donation process. She was a bit nervous as she never drives through carwashes. They offered to do it all for her, we walked through and booked a detail in a few days to give back to Hoffmans for doing such a kind gesture. Thank you”

“EDIT 6/2025-
On the infrequent occasion the wash has had an issue the owner is prompt to resolve the customers issue and fix the wash. 5 starts still stands for me, this is the best touch-free car wash in the area, the negative reviews do not accurately portray this business and should be removed.

Original review:
I’m not sure why this isn’t a 4.9 google star car wash. New customer- but I am impressed compared to the local touch free competition. The few low reviews don’t seem to understand this is a touch free car wash and has limitations.. but this seems to actually be a very good one!

I swung in late a cold night- bonus no wait. The wash machine is easy to use and if you buy a package the price is very reasonable. Ultimate wash pack 4/48 works out to 12 a wash. The others are cheaper. Best wash features for the price in the Latham area - 5 stars for value.

I’m not sure why no one has mentioned this but this touch free has extended drying (2 very slow passes and the exit has a 60 second additional dry as you exit the garage. I have not had another touch less come even close to this in terms of dry quality. I also noticed the wash pressure seems very high and the machine passes over slowly and thoroughly most of the wash steps doing 2 passes for a complete clean. The undercarriage wash leaves a little to be desired as most touch free washes do. I feel like there isn’t enough going on under the car… the side sprayers just get the wheels/wells a bit.

It was well lit, everything was working properly despite being literally almost 0 degrees out, and the wash quality seems superb compared to the competition. I had just ran the other car through the Hoffmans touch free earlier and this one does a better job for the price. Support local/small business, this is the best touch free car wash hands down!”
