Being charged for subscription I did not buy.
Today I was charged for $30 for a membership. I never agreed to pay $30 for a membership and when the employee at my local super star set this up I was told I was only paying the $19.99 for one month and was not being charged for anything after. Now it seems I have been deceived by this company. I am no longer in a state where there are any of these...
Read full review of Super Star Car WashSigned me up to for membership without consent
On July 13, a staff member by the touch screen at the entrance of the car wash asked if I wanted to a free wash with the wash I was buying. I asked specifically if the promotion was a no-strings-attached thing. He confirmed. He then proceeded to sign me up for an automatically renewed membership—I know this because I got an authorized charge for $18 on August 13. Completely unacceptable behavior: tricking customers into a membership without their consent.
Desired outcome: Full refund, membership cancellation, investigation of staff behavior
About my vehicle getting scratches
On July 1,2023 I had been going to super car wash and like the service. On that day at 10:45am. I had a coupon to wash my vehicle. I got in line and went to one that don't scan. So one of the employee (ivan) came up to me and tried to scan the code. Didn't work so he told me to go to the next one, but there was a ride behind me. So he told me to go in...

Read full review of Super Star Car WashDamage to my 2021 Lexus car
On 8-2-23 at 9:55am, I took my 2021 Lexus for car wash. When I existed the car wash and drove my car into the drying space, I noticed the front side mirror on the driver's side damaged. I immediately asked for the car wash's supervisor. He did a visual inspection on my car and asked me to complete the Claim Forms. He said someone from Claims Customer Services will call me within 2 day. YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU MADISON HERMOSILLO [protected]
Desired outcome: FIX THE DAMAGE SUPER STAR CAR WASH MADE TO MY CAR, THE LEFT SIDE FRONT MIRROR.
I had a similar incident. Super Star Car Wash did not respond until I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Even then, they are refusing to repair my vehicle after 7 weeks. Good luck.
the quality of services have not been what I paid for, the equipment is either not working or missing, I am not getting the services I paid for.
Most of the air hose tips are missing, the vacume hose fell out the sky and almost hit my son, they didn’t spray bug spray before going through the wash, my fast pass don’t work after several complaints, and we paid for the works plan and we did not get rain x or tire shine, these did not happen all in one day, but it happened all over a period of a month.
Damage to Vehicle
My side view mirror was broken. I filled out a report on site the same day, June 2nd. After waiting on hold for 40 minutes on June 8th, I was told that I needed to send an email to the claims department. June 23, I got an email from the corporate office and told to submit three estimates. I submitted the estimates as requested in pdf form, on June 27th. It has been over three weeks and NOONE will respond to my emails and messages for how to getting my car repair paid for.
Desired outcome: Contact and Damages repaired

Unauthorized credit card charges
On April 15th I was told at a Super Star Car Wash location they had a deal that day - $15 car wash. The representative did not provide any details, just quickly ran my card through the card reader. I didn't think much of it until two months later when I was reviewing my credit card statements and saw $27.95 taken out twice - once on May 17th and then on...
Read full review of Super Star Car WashWas pushed off the tracks causing damage to my rim, alignment and engine light
Unfortunately, we have a HUGE SITUATION. I went to go through the wash 07/03 around 11am-ish. Some how my drivers side tire fell off the track. I've had my membership for a long time. Since grand opening, so I know how to go through a car wash. The "manager" definitely needs training but that's okay. (Only based off of his first response to me before saying anything). He assisted me out and my check engine light went on and when I parked, I looked at the front tire rim and it's highly and deeply dug in, in a complete circle. I do have a video of the manager admitting the situation. I did fill out a report detailing what had occurred. But I am now upset the more and more I think about the situation because I now have to go to my dealership and see what is going on with the check engine light and alignment issues.
My debit card has been charged for four (4) months ( March 2023 - June 2023) without my authorization.
On March30, 2023, I paid for a car wash with my debit card at your location 9450 W. Camelback in Glendale, AZ, and , on March 31, 2023, I was charged $24.95 for a subscription I never authorized to my Debit Card. Every month since, I've been charged $24.94 for a monthly subscription I never authorized.
I paid for one car wash with my credit card but someone at your company used my card the following day to charge me for a monthly subscription I never agreed to. I just spoke with my bank and they are stopping the last payment and suggested I contact you for reinbursement for past charges.
Desired outcome: Reimbursement of $74.85 for past three (3) months of unauthoriaed charges to my debit card.

And i have the plan with the wax. Not on yesterday.I got home to finish when it cooled off. Thats when i found the damage. I've only had my Cadillac XTS 2 weeks niw this. Im canceling my membership.

unlimited car wash
I took a vehicle in to have it washed and was offered a special price for unlimited washes for a month. I returned for one wash later that month. I was not told at the time that I was committing to a recurring billing. Then, a month ago I noticed I'd been charged six or seven times for about $35.
I went to the location (East Vista Way in Vista, Ca.) to complain. The manager there, Miguel, told me he would email the company and tell them that I needed to cancel the membership and be refunded because I'd not used it more than the first month. He said he'd cc me on the email. I never got an email. I have since been charged again.
I went to the website this morning to cancel the membership. The "cancel" button did nothing when I clicked on it.
The account is under California license number 8EOB834. I think I may have used 8E0B834 (with a zero) when I registered online for an account.
Thank you,
Tim
Desired outcome: I expect a full refund for all but the very first charge. I used the service one time in the first month, but not since then.
Charged for recurring monthly fee that I did not approve or even know about
I got a single carwash at Superstar carwash in Escondido in January or 2022. I paid $9.95 for a SINGLE wash. I just realized that they have charged my card $30-35 EVERY month since then! I have been charged a total of $504.20 from the company for a single wash. I had no idea I was enrolled in any kind of monthly membership. Never was told anything in writing or by mouth about any recurring membership and never agreed to anything! This is outrageous! I am on hold with customer service, who said they can only authorize a refund for the last two months. Ummm...WTF?! This place needs to be shut down! This is fraud and I can not believe they are still in business.
Computer screen malfunction
Drove up to Super Star Car Wash in Denton, Texas this afternoon and had problems with the computer screen. I selected the $10 car wash button and put in my credit card. It took a long time and then it asked me “Do you want to cancel this wash?” I selected yes then I put card back in and almost immediately the receipt for $18 came out without me selecting...
Read full review of Super Star Car WashOver Charge and can never speak to anyone
They have overcharged my account for the monthly fee- although it is from $29.95 to $36.95- it was still a charge that I did not authorize nor was I told in advance of an increase. This is not the first time that this has happened. As a matter of fact I had my husbands truck on the membership and ended up canceling it because they were incorrectly charging that account. I tried calling about it and emailing and never heard back so canceled it. As I write this email, I am on hold with their company [protected] currently at 32 minutes- on the line it encourages you to contact them from the bottom of the website, by sending an email. Again no choice but to email
Desired outcome: a reason why they over charged without my consent.
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, your story is quite common. Super Star Car Wash is a flat out scam. Not to mention their cheap equipment damages cars frequently and their wash quality is horrible.
I noticed today [protected]) that I had a charge from Superstar Car Wash for $19.95 on March 1st, I called my bank and questioned it and was told
I noticed today [protected]) that I had a charge from Superstar Car Wash for $19.95 on March 1st, I called my bank and questioned it and was told that I had been charged monthly, since Dec 29, 2021. I do not recall ever signing anything and/or agreeing to a monthly service for a car wash through this company or any other for that matter. Thereafter, I contacted Superstar Car Wash directly and was told that they could not refund me the money that I had been charged but they could give me a gift card for the last charge. This to me made absolutely NO sense! Such the wrong type of compensation especially since I did not do agree to anything in writing for one, nor agree to anything verbally for two. I explained to her that I would like to speak to someone higher up because this was fraud! She said she would have her manager call me back but it could take 24 - 48 hours. Situations like this should not be that difficult to resolve especially when it appears there is a pattern with this type of issue based on previous complaints against this company. I do not doubt that at some point I may have had "a" car wash BUT if this is their process for fraudulently signing people up for memberships, that involve monthly charges, then there is a scam taking place! It appears to me that this company needs a change of practice for their marketing techniques and they also need to better train their employees on how to properly solicit their company's memberships/promotions more diligently and make sure they emphasize the fine print. Ultimately, I would like a full refund for the amount that I was unknowingly charged as that would be the appropriate way to rectify this issue. Thank you!

Hello, today I am filing a complaint regarding an incident that ocurred 10/09/22 at the *** location. The employee notified me that there was a $2 sale going on for any wash plan. I went ahead and chose the Ceramic plan. I also asked him to cancel it so I wouldnt get charged again at the end of the month. He assured me he would cancel it. But this morning at around 4 AM, I was charged for $36.95. A 40 charge over an employee mistake? I hope there's something you can do to fix this. Thank you
I received an unsolicited text from Super Star carwash offering a free car wash for Veterans on Veterans Day, November 11, 2022, the text went on to offer discounted memberships for veterans and first responders. I drove to the SuperStar carwash at *** and spoke to I spoke to the attendant who stated they did not honor the free car wash at that location. He went on to say only specific locations honored the offer.
On October 28th, I purchased a carwash for $10 at SuperStar Car Wash located at ***. On November 14, I was automatically charged $19.95 as a recurring payment for a service that I did not request or receive.
I purchased a monthly car wash subscription from Superstar Car Wash which I have had for a couple years
I purchased a monthly car wash subscription from Superstar Car Wash which I have had for a couple years. It is a subscription that can be cancelled any time. At the beginning of October, I had ceramic coating added to my vehicle which does not allow the use of an automated car washing system or it will void the warranty. Immediately upon scheduling the appointment to have the work done, I attempted to reach out to Superstar Car Wash to cancel my subscription and to stop the any future charges to my bank account. Superstar car wash websites list phone numbers with extensions but none of them seem to work. When selecting the "cancel subscription" it immediately directs you to file the request online. The online request is a generic fill in the box system and does not list any specific email to send it to as it is automated. I have filled out the request 2 times and have received no response. I have tried to call numerous times and have never been able to reach any customer service representative or employee, and the extension selections either hang up on you or direct you to the online portals. I went to the actual car wash location and was told I would have to submit the requests online and contact customer service. They were busy and clearly did not want to assist me, or did not know how. Even after all the attempts to cancel my subscription, using the direction they provide to do so, the Superstar carwash still charged my bank account for the next monthly service. I am at a loss of what to do since nothing, or no one can seem to help me cancel my account. Unfortunately, due to the automated customer service email system, I do not have the emails available to provide.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I visited this car wash once in early July '22 and just like the other complaints, just noticed that they started charging me $19.95/month. I NEVER approved or was even asked about this during my visit. I went to the website to resolve, and the only way to speak to anyone is by providing your membership #! I obviously don't have this because i never signed up. I have contacted my credit card for reimbursement but have not been able to speak to anyone to prevent future charges. I would appreciate someone contacting me to resolve this matter.
After more than 1 year with this membership, what happened last Sunday morning around 10 am on October 30th at your location is unacceptable, and I have yet to receive a call from the district manager. After the incident happened, which involved the rail pushing my car off to the side and causing damage to my front passenger side, as well as resulting in the car behind me colliding with mine due to the car wash not stopping immediately, I was told by the attendant it looked like my fault without them being present to witness the event or reviewing the surveillance footage before making such assumptions. Why would I intentionally cause damage to my vehicle? As mentioned, I had been a member for over a year before this incident occurred. I was informed it would take 2-3 days for them to review the footage and contact me, but it has now been 5 business days without any communication. I called customer service, and they were no help, simply stating it would take an additional 2-7 business days from today, November 4th, for the district manager to reach out to me. The experience was dreadful, and the customer service was extremely disappointing. I was also advised to contact my insurance and file a claim, but they did not provide me with any of their information, which means I would have to pay my deductible even though the fault was not mine! The company is a joke, and I would advise against taking your car there. I am hoping for a prompt call back because their customer service seems to be non-existent.
Went to get the car serviced for full car wash today 11/5 and car wasnt even properly cleaned on the inside. Car was still really dirty with the floor. The outside windshield has water spots. Someone how I also have like a burn *** on the back seat of my car which is leather seats. If I pay for an expected service I expect to get that service.
Went to a car wash months ago. They advertised a $5 car wash. There was no conversation about a subscription. I never received any information about a subscription. After that started getting charged monthly. $27.95. Based on their yelp reviews, this is happening to other people as well. Also happened to my ex-husband.
In September , signed up for a discounted monthly car wash plan at Super Star Car Wash.
In September , I signed up for a discounted monthly car wash plan ($19.95) at Super Star Car Wash. In January , the discount expired and the plan reverted to full price ($34.95). Since April , I've been attempting to cancel the plan without success. My attempts have included: Entering my vehicle's license plate and assigned tag number on their website (it was never recognized). In early 2021, I called their offices directly (I was placed on hold and eventually informed that my call couldn't be answered due to high call volume). On a day in mid-2021, I emailed Super Star Car Wash requesting cancellation of my plan and provided photos of my license plate and the assigned tag (I never received a response). I disputed the spring and early summer charges with my credit card company, and requested they reimburse those charges and no longer accept charges from Super Star Car Wash. I was reimbursed for some charges and one is still pending. Unaware that they continued to process charges, I paid from July to September despite my attempts to cancel. I tried to cancel in person at the car wash location, but the manager told me the ability to cancel plans was removed recently. I am requesting a refund of $244.65 (7 months from April to October). It is clear this company uses unethical business practices by promising easy cancellation of monthly plans. In addition to refunding my money (and many others with similar issues), this company should face punitive damages for consistently acting in bad faith.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I went through to get my car washed and specifically told the attendant that I did not want their membership but he said he entered it that way so he'd need to swipe my card again for the current transaction for a lower amount and the other charge would be refunded back. Well it appears no refund was given for the amount he incorrectly submitted it for and on top of that a month later another charge for even more hit my acct so he did in fact sign me up for their membership when I said no! When attempting to contact them the only option for their customer service is to just cancel membership so you can't even communicate with anybody and forget calling because that gets me nowhere. This place is so scandalous in their business practices and their actual wash itself, which was supposed to be one of their best ones, was really nothing fantastic to start and don't feel they're really even using the high quality chemicals they claim they are!
We get our cars washed periodically and normally use Super Star Car Wash on Arizona *** While reconciling my credit card statements, I noticed a recurring monthly charge from Super Star Car Wash (beginning July 2022). When I went to the website for the car wash, it indicates the amount being charged is for a lifetime membership which we never signed up for. I also have no membership information (i.e. bar code that is mentioned on their website) in order to cancel and request a refund. We got a car wash on the 17th of July for $15, an additional charge of $17.95 occurred on the same day and a charge for $27.95 has occurred each month since. Apparently, they automatically signed us up for a membership which I find to be fraudulent behavior as we did not ask or agree to any kind of membership and received nothing from the car wash with respect to a membership. To date, I am out $102 on services I did not request and have not used.
Just like the other complaints, we used Superstar Car Wash *** on 10/2/2022 and paid a $9.95 charge for a basic car wash. On 11/2/2022, I found a $19.95 charge that appears to be a recurring charge by this scam of a company. It is clear they have a scam going on and are defrauding their customers and this needs to be stopped. I strongly encourage others to never use this company and they should be shut down.
This company is awful
This company is awful.Ive been a loyal customer as an Uber driver since May. I got the best unlimited package for $39.95. They actually take $*** every month.Today I noticed that they charged two of my accounts the *** for the month. *** never had two cars getting washed at a time. I rented a Tesla in June and July and they allegedly transferred the account to the Tesla since thats the only car I was washing at that time. These charges started in May.They never transferred the account properly. They simply just added another charge and started charging for two cars I called customer service and the customer service of this company is terrible. I waited on hold for over 30 minutes before finally talking to someone. Then she put me on hold again and hung up on *** called back and was on hold another 15 minutes. This lady did nothing but basically say I was lying.This is the worst company Ive dealt with and Ive dealt with some pretty terrible companies.I didnt notice until now that these double-charges were occurring because I dont pay close enough attention, usually. Im low on funds so $60 extra being taken is important right now. They offered to refund two months, but that doesnt cover what they wrongly took. They admitted that they were charging for both cars, yet I never added a car. I transferred the account to the Tesla in June and July. Ive had nothing but good experiences with this company until now, but this is a serious no-no. They owe me $460 and offered to refund $120. I will be taking them to small claims court asap, unless this is resolved immediately. At that point itll cost them more because of the time they are wasting of mine. Pictured are the last 4 digits of the cards being charged and the exact dates of the charges.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I got my car washed 7/22 and told the man I did not want to purchase a monthly membership and went through the wash. When reviewing my bank account yesterday, 9/22, I have been charged TWICE for a *** monthly membership from this car wash that I did not authorize. I have canceled online and submitted a complaint, sent an email response back to my cancellation confirmation, AND attempted to call them but nobody answers. I will be contacting my bank today and reporting it as a fraudulent charge as I did not authorize it. It appears this is a common issue based on other reviews.
An attendant asked what wash package I wanted when I drove up. I frequent this facility maybe once or twice a year... I don't wash my car often at all. I asked for the most basic wash which I believe is $10. The Attendant said they were running a "special" today and he offered me the ten dollar wash for five. He then asked for my card to swipe and then my phone number to punch in for the special... He said I would get a text and just ignore them. That was in May on the 6th... Since then WITHOUT MY KNOWING, I have been getting recurring charges that I was completely unaware of. Two months charged an undisclosed amount, and then another two months charged a similar undisclosed amount. The attendant DID NOT INFORM ME I WAS SIGNING UP FOR A MEMBERSHIP! This is so completely scandalous, deceitful, and unethical. I will tell everyone I know NOT to use this facility ever. I did call to correct the situation and the customer service said that I used the membership so I must have agreed to use it. This is such nonsense... don't you think if I signed up for unlimited washes I would use it every week... I own a 12 year old Corolla that has more paint chips than paint. NO, I would not sign up for an unlimited car wash program... I want to be refunded the $91.80 that was taken from me. Unbelievable.
I go to car wash 3 or 4 times per year to the maximum. I went to this car facility back in March 2022 and had requested for a basic car wash for $5. But since April I see a charge of $17.95. I never requested for a membership but they have been charging without any notification since April. Also, since June they increased it to $27.95. When entering the facilty in the next two times for a basic car wash, the checkpost opened automatically and when I asked the attendant, he said it must be complimentary and I need not worry. This is very deceitful charging customers for services they did not intend to purchase. I want the charges of $176 for the last 7 months to be refunded.
