Reviews of Mr. Sharky's Car Wash - Manchaca (Car Wash)

C San

If you want to get a membership here its a nightmare. They never have stickers or papers to start your application. If you do you application you still need to find a way to get a sticker. After getting a sticker they do not charge your card and you will not get a car wash. They need customer service! Using there contact information on there website is no good! I try different times to get in contact with them and no reply.

Scott Williams

Good place for washing in the bay or running it thru.. been coming here for years and years..

Brantley Hudson

Reasonably priced, well maintained, both automatic and manual wash are available. Free vacuums are a nice touch. At the vacuum station you can shampoo your carpet or add a fragrance. There are about 15-20 bays for car washing. There's even a dog wash station. Several onsite machines carry things that you might consider for your car (scents, cleaning products, etc). At the automatic part of the wash, there are several folks around to help maximize the experience. If you are in the area, give Mr Sharky's a try

Dalton Stewart

Late night vacuums and good wash bays this and palms are the only car wash spots I use both are upkept well.

Joshua Cherry

I like this carwash + free vacuums

Relvin Gonzalez

Its an ok car wash with fair prices, but they always leave marks and spills.

Dylan Wagner

Free vaccuums are great, but it's a pretty small parking lot for the amount of people that are usually there. There isn't much of a system for waiting for the vacuums. But the vacuums are a lot stronger than at Palms!

Gabby Gonzales

Best customer service, fast, friendly. Did the automatic wash. Wasn't pleased, and they let me go through it again. FREE VACUUMING is a plus! ;-)

Cody Braddock

I wasn't really impressed with this place. The vacuums are free, but don't work really well. The car wash itself was pretty old and did a mediocre job at best. It is good if you want to get out and wash your car by hand at one of the stations available.

Jessica Romero

Manchaca has self dog washing station pretty neat

Monica Escobar

Free vacuum was a life saver.

The Dude

Free vacuums at this location.

Colin Allen

This place is one of my favorites in Austin. Always clean, very spacious and all the different features in the self service area always work properly. The hand held air dryer is a big bonus!

Vanessa Villela

Vaccums suck really good. I always leave with a clean car.

Cameron Harmon

Self-service wash with free vacumns. $7 for a quick automatic exterior wash! Can't beat it if your car needs a quick shine. The employees also spray and brush your car before it goes into the auto-wash, and hand dry after. Good and cheap, but definitely NOT a Full Service Car-wash and Detailer.

Samuel Deese

A little more than other washes but worth it! Hand dry and wheel scrub (Cheapest was was $7)

Eric Rodriguez

If you feel that computers and credit cards are akin to sorcery, look elsewhere. The vacuums and self service stuff is fairly new and, with some exceptions, works fairly well. Sure there's a weak vacuum here and there, but most are pretty strong. The final credit card charges (the ones that count, not the authorizations) were accurate. If any of that sentence sounded like sorcery to you, you'll probably give this place one star, too because it's, you know, witchcraft.

Michael Marks

Did the 13 dollar fancy wash. Not bad, car was dry and shiny and I never even had to get out.

Mónica Allen

Great service!

Mr. Sir

I have a monthly car wash plan. Sign up for it guys. Heck, just going back two days in a row already pays for itself. I usually have my car washed two to three times a week. It just depends on how dirty my car gets. The main guy that runs this location is a really nice guy.

Arturo Gonzales

My go to car wash

Christopher Verhoef

This is the only car wash I go to regularly. When you go to the drive through wash, they prewash your car before it goes in, which helps keeps all the automatic cleaning equipment from accumulating dirt. They got mud out of my wheel wells and such. And they hand dry your car after you come out the other side. It's pretty cheap too for the basic wash.

Topanga Reyna

Always clean, and I love the free vacuums!! Great location too! I think they have a dog wash station as well!

Andrew Brown

I love bringing my car here and washing it myself. The only issue I have is that most of the machines card reader don't work. Literally my only beef. I love this place. Just brings quarters or cash that you can break.

Dora lopez

Come once a week to wash my truck and they do a great job

Daniel Carpenter

Easy do it yourself car wash or go through their half person, half machine car wash line.

Stephanie Panda

Best car wash in the ATX hands down, best car wash and employees are really cool.

Toni Bauer

Never go anywhere else. Free vacuum!

Kimberly Reed

Car wash is ok. Dog was is terrible. Make sure you find the attendant and have him turn the tiny window unit down down down or it's a sauna for you while you wash. Also it would be nice to know what kind of soaps they use.

Jennifer Plunkett

This place is awesome

Stacia R

Credit card able self service, free vacuums, and the drive thru is great. They thoroughly pre scrub your car by hand then hand dry after the dryer. Nice guys, hard workers. Only place I wash my car south.

robert balli

Always does a darn good job.

Mark Maldonado

Don't waste your time, what a waste of, money waste of effort, save yourself and go somewhere else

Daniel Mirino

$13 bucks gets the car clean without a doubt ! But the downside is your rims don’t the machine is lacking on that part Vacuums could use better suctioning They start off strong then slowly die down Other than that the employees are great just a couple things to work on

Vin Chikarmane

Super-good service with a smile. Great car wash.

Anny Lee

I've only used their automatic car wash, not the self service bays. I like how they pre-wash the front and back end of your vehicle before it enters the wash bay, then hand towel dry your car after the dryers. My favorite car wash in Austin!

LaKisha Thigpen

Love the free vacuums. Usually crowded but wait isn't that long.

Miguel Vazquez

If you are a car guy, the drive through car wash just won't. The driver through car wash does an ok job. They do have free vacuums.

Bobbiejo Vaughn

They have a reasonable monthly price

Melanie Dumas

They did a great job on my vehicle and instructed me politely as what I was to do. It was my first visit but definitely not my last.

Maria Gil

Employees are nice and do good job.

Leo Daiwulf

I’ve never been here until today, I got recommended to try it out for myself to see if I wanted to join the monthly program. Before I did , I wanted to try out the machine first and see how their service works. The first man to help me pay was respectful , cool & helped me with what I needed. But I felt as I was ripped off, I payed $13.00 and I honestly feel like I got the same wash as everyone else. The hand dry was barely a minute & the co workers who dried only part of my car, dried almost nothing but just smeared water around. The vaccums were okay but had a timer & I couldn’t even get to everything on time. I felt as the co workers were looking at me like if I’m stealing that vacuum for myself, when I was barely there a near 6 minutes. I will not be going back to this place, I can honestly do what they do and for less at my own home.

Amanda Ensle

Its alright. Vacuums suck

Lisa Faughn

Great but two-three vacuums are not the best!

vernon vaughan

Fast, curtious and they won't scratch your vehicle.

Sally Hultgren

Affordable car wash. They prep car before entering wash and towel dry car after exiting. Free self-serve vacuums! Get a membership to receive unlimited washes for one car for a monthly fee. Great deal!

Sylvia Gonzales

I always wash my car there. Vacuuming is free, and car wash employees are also very helpful..

Eduardo Almada

They have a great monthly deal for one car wash daily.

Salvador Alarcon

Fast service great personal and professional personal

Gemini Love

Free vacuuming, car was bay's are trash free. The guys who assist with the drive through wash, do an excellent job!

TEQUILA BUTLER

The car wash is fairlypriced and the free vacuum is a plus.

Drew Gartman

Free vacuums, that really suck (ha!). The car wash station is good, but it takes 3 or 4 passes to vacuum out the car.

Tammie Garcia

Like taking my car to get washed there. The guys there are very friendly and do a great job waqhing your car down, before it goes thur the car wash.

JACQUELINE Roberts

Kinda expensive but clean, always enough spots to wash, vacuum your car and great scents.

Tiffy Fone

Unlimited monthly washes at a great price! They brush every vehicle before drive thru wash, then hand dry. Vacuums are free after wash.

Rubby Mondragón

Not super great, but gets the job done. +1 for the free vaccums. The hose pressure wasn't great though

Julie weilnau

Super quick, efficient and cheap! 13 for the top of the line package it's a mixture of someone hand washing as you go into a car wash then some hand drying your car. Then you can pull straight into a vacuum lane and vacuum out your own car for free.

Ron Ripple

Good automatic car wash!

steven rush

Bit pricey even without the service of the employees, but over all a good place to clean your car with free vaccuums

ZirStone

Very convenient, also they have free vacuums! A dog wash and car wash.

Guy Boyan

Dig. Free vaccum for a LIMITED TIME!!!

Eloy Vela

Very good and fast service

Jessica L

The vaccuums aren't really strong, but, hey, they're free and a 2.50 car wash is pretty good.

Mario Quinonez

Free vacuum but a bit expensive to wash the car.

Daniel Walsh

My favorite car wash around. Always friendly customer service. A vacuum area for after your car wash. They also supply towels and cleaner at the vacuum station.i can confidently recommend this place!!

Ragan Brock

Not only does the drive thru car wash scratch your car, but even with the $13 wash it still did a poor job and left my wheels just as dirty, if not questionably dirtier. Also, the attended guiding me into the tracks guided me right into scraping my wheels. Good job at being the first unpleasant car wash experience I’ve had.

Tony Su

They were great, I wouldn't say "the best" but, for the price you pay they do a good job.

Troy Pfeifer

I have to say I feel sorry for this company and the negative reviews. I went there today to wash my car. After reading the reviews I made sure I had enough quarters so I didn't have to use the credit card reader. Once I arrived, I decided to give the CC reader a shot. It worked great. The display showed my balance as I used the wash (starting at $2 and going up as time elapsed). It was clean, they have FREE vacuums. They have lots of other stuff I might use in the future (e.g. carpet shampooer, fragrances, etc). They even have a dog was that I am going to have to try! The only thing I would say is the pre-wash seemed overly diluted (might have been a bad day) and one of the vacuums was weak but the other was very strong and worked great.

Angie Ortiz

My car always looks amazing when I leave here. I recently needed to make some adjustments to my monthly car wash and David was helpful, polite, and answered all my questions. Great customer service.

Denise Gray

Wow! You have to have an appointment to get the interior of your car washed. $30 later....the trunk was filthy and you have to pay an extra $40 for them to wash the seat. This place is definitely trying to work as little as possible for the most money they can get. Disappointed and will not return!

Heberto Lira

Great for in and out. Could use more self serve bays

Jeremy Leake

Had an issue with self car wash credit card machine because it shows they charged me 10$ for each swipe. Staff member was helpful and explained that it's like a gas station, where it shows on your account a 10$ charge but that's not the real charge. That goes away and the real charge will show up

N0Cloud

I love going here to wash my car! The set up is very simple. I really like the self washing stations. You are able to just swipe your credit or debit card and go about your wash. No more need of putting in dollars or quarters! Although that is still an option if you choose not to use your credit or debit card. They also have free vacuums! Highly recommend this place!

Dave Kessler

Finally a car wash that isn't run down and ridiculously over priced. This is where I'll be washing my car from now on. It was like 1/2 price of any other place for a self wash

Elizabeth N

Nice clean car wash

Helen deLemos-Achilles

Who wouldn't want free vacuuming at the car wash...

Dr.David Garber

Free Vacuum my behind. If you wash your vehicle pay close attention to the 15 to 30 sec per coin. That's how free that vacuum really is smh

John Jones

Good car washes at a decent price. Really not anything special though

Judson Maag

It's a car wash... Everything worked and my car got washed. I did it myself, thus not much to review since I'm not going to wash anyone else's car.

Paul Gonzales

Gotta love the free vacuums after washing your car!

Spyder Byte

Everything works, staff on site, clean, free vacuum. Made the mistake of trying the Carwash on S. 1st never again. This place is so much better, and plus you don't get ripped off.

Anthony Cortez

Great place to clean your car. Cant beat the price for the vacs!!

Jake Denham

Quality wash

Mark Proffitt

This is my favorite car wash in the Austin area. They do a great job wiping it down.

Rick Rodriguez

Very good car wash, free vacuum.

Zindel Lopez

Washing your car gets a little pricey having to add money constantly. But it's made up I guess by them having free vacuum services. Not bad for self serving place. Haven't paid for them to clean the car but it seems like they do a good job at it.

Bart Fruechte

Good. At wash with a lot of features and a reasonable price.

Melanie Morris

I used the dog wash for my little yorkie and it worked great! The only thing I would watch out for is, if you use a credit card to pay, make sure to turn the dial on the machine to "Stop" when you are finished because it will continue to add time and charge your card.

J H

Leaves soap on surfaces every time.

Tim Marquez

Great service and Superior pre wash.

Lillian Clemons

Great Employees

Judy Ramirez

Great price, free vacuum and my car looks great!

Laci Smith

This place is great, I had trouble with the fragrance prayer and went and told one of the workers he immediately hooked it up with the spray machine. Also they have free vacuuming for a limited time ...so that's pretty legit

Faith Shaw

They had an old washing machine in the drive-thru for the washing area. It was $13.00 for the deluxe and I felt like my car got the same wash as everyone else who chose the lower ones. There is no free vac like other places I have been too, I’ve paid half the price and was able to get free vac!!!

Tyler Mann

Pay for the unlimited monthly washes, it's worth it.

Gwen Deleon

I Love this place they get the job done

Mr. G

The sprayers always work and love the free vacuum

Michael Taylor

Good deals

Alex Mc

We'll worth the trip south--my favorite car wash! Free vacuums are the best!

Jason Stewart

Good car wash. Has free vacuums and a good drive thru wash as well.

A R

This review speaks to the self-service bays not the drive-through wash which seems to get positive reviews. The facility is clean and spacious, but the water pressure in the self-service bays is seriously lacking. I could get the same pressure by putting my thumb over a garden hose. The vacuum while free, has a very short time limit and again, very poor suction power. The more expensive drive-through option may be fine but the self-wash bays and vacuums are barely average.

Hannah Bricker

Fast, friend, and free vacuums. Plus they pre-scrub and dry your vehicle, all for like $9.

Rosario Astranez

Good value because the vacuums are complimentary. I wash my cars there on a regular basis then vacuum the interior thoroughly. This place can get packed on some days so I make it a point to go at an off peak time so I can take extra care in the self- service wash on all my cars and trucks.

Marina Aguilera

Good place clean and the old man always go out his way to help

Mikey Solis

I got a monthly plan here. Nice wash and hand dried. Free vacuum, best place

Madison Scott

A quick decent clean. Spotty job on the windows but a machine isn't too concerned about the windows. Affordable and quick and gets the job done.

Jacob Manhart

Nice automatic wash, good wash bays that accept cards. They seem to maintain the place pretty well. 24 hour rain check with receipt.

Pedro Limon

Free vacuums.

Jonie C

Fast and a Great price carwash.

David Cardona

These guys keep your ride looking good! $30 a month and wash your truck as much as you need.

Carolina Calderon

Get here early morning or late evening. This place is always busy ...

Moses P

Other than the machine not reading my card, its a great place. Free vaccum too. Great customer service when you call the help number.

Stanislav Krasiuk

Simply the worst car wash in my life))

Amber Vasquez

Always come here to clean my car!

Rita O

this place is amazing! I am so impressed with the service that you get there for a minimal fee you get your car washed and hand dried, then you can get free vacuums to use, plus if you take your pet they have a pet washing station where you can give your dog a bath and they provide the shampoo and the towels for your dogs so it's like a two for one deal, you're good to go! I highly suggest this place, every time I'm close to Manchaca & Slaughter I'm always going to get my car washed I don't care if it rains next day.

Celeste Pierce

Pretty decent prices. Free vacuuming is cool

Tracey Bush

Drive thru carwash with towel drying at the end.

Kyle Dean

Nice, prewash and dried by hand after, plus free vacuums and theres a pet wash station too!

Kathy Harris

Good place,not over crowded.

Roy Esquivel

Sprayers kind of weak but free vacuum

Tommy Shook

Gets the job done. The drive through is a good price and a guy towel drys your car at end.

Mayo Hernandez

Great place to wash your car!!!

Ricardo Perez

Great place to get your car washed

Me Too

Love this place! Thorough exterior cleaning and free vac access for your interior. Very reasonably priced.

Wanda Urias

They have everything you need here to wash your car

Michael Boswell

Does a good job for a drive through and a good price.

Jonathan McConico

Great deals and even better service. They even have dry your car. I love it!

Bailie Shotwell

Great service... sometimes there is a bit of a wait, but let's be honest they are great!

Mario Holod

The best service.... I love wash my car here

Robert Lindell

Great car wash. Good drive through or stall. Lots of options

malcolm hopes

Ive been coming here overe 10 years and is alway clean no pan handlers and FREE VAC

Sam Riojas

Let me just say, that a lot of the negative reviews seem a bit odd; considering that every time I've gone, there hasn't been a problem. I regularly use the auto wash, and have had a pleasant experience every time. They usually have staff running the auto wash who brush the vehicle down before it enters the drive bay. There has always been someone on the other end after the air dry who towel drys the car pretty quickly. The car wash still has a new like feel to it, and the staff is pretty engaged in what they do. They also now have a membership for their washes, so that can save you a bit of money if you wash your car as often as I do.

Robert Frazer

Best $13 you'll ever spend on your car!

Debbie Butler

Great job. They actually pre-wash your entire car.

sophie rogers

Quick, soft brush, hand brush before entering and hand dry on exit.

Kyle Weber

GOT RIPPED OFF! I swiped my card once for a self serve wash and was charged 10 bucks!! Will not be returning. Completely disappointed and frustrated.

Stacy Jester

FREE vaccum and they are strong too, makes cleaning your car much easier especially in this humidity!

Sergio Seijas

They have a good spot free rinse car wash that is at a good price and you don't even have to get out of the car!

B Whalen

It's your average self-wash car wash but it also has the option to let someone else wash your car. I am giving it an extra star for the following: more wash bays than ur avg car wash, specialized bays for those taller trucks and SUVs, the bays take a credit card that maxes out at $10 per swipe....yeah no more dropping quarters on wet cement, they still have change machines for those who need it AND the first one I've seen in Austin (finally) a dog washing "bay" but it is inside a little bldg in the middle of the complex. Nicely done Mr. Sharky's. For a service that people need and don't think a lot about, you really put some thought into this one.

Tracy Andrew

Free vacuums, nice staff for drive thru hands off wash.

Lora Ramirez

What do you say about a car wash I love this car wash because the vacuums are free I love that they take debit cards

Jason Davis

Cool place, good equipment condition.

Billie Trotter

Great deals and my car sparkles

yvonne perez

Spent 7.00 washing my car, I went to dry it off, wiped off the black dirt, the dirty... So .I guess I'd like to say Soap please! This is normally my fav place to wash my vehicle.

Celina Ybarra

I really like this car wash, the attendants are friendly, and my car is leaves clean every time. Plus, I also use their free vacuum; very convenient.

Helene Tune

Quick fast friendly service

Fernando Martinez

Just moved into this area and based on reviews I decided to try Sharkys. I came at the busiest time on a Saturday to really test the operation. I was not disappointed. I arrived and there were 9 cars ahead of me, at 12.32p. At 12.48p it was my turn. Went very quickly. They are very organized. Raul, one of the managers, greeted me and explained my choices, explained that I could bring the car back for a discounted wash if it rained within a few days and gave me a small note with the URL to sign up for a loyalty club. Very no-nonsense but very professional and courteous. I pulled over after the wash and examined the car, nice job. The hand dry at the end was a nice touch. I will be back.
