If you want to wait forever go to Elephant – I took my car there on a Sunday and they said the car was going to be ready in approximately one hour so I decided to go for a cup of coffee and wait. I waited for about two hours and at the end the car was not completely clean. I tried to talk to a manager but it looks like nobody has authority there. The employees work without supervision. Awful customer service!!!

Bad customer service-not friendly staff – I thought I was going to save some money because Elephant car wash offers pretty good deals for car cleaning but I was wrong. I was expecting a lot more for the $85 that I paid. I wanted them to clean my car's interiors and they did a really bad job. I could have done the same thing at home. I don't even know if they use the vacuum cleaner!!! I talk to the guy and he said that the car was ready and that there was nothing else to do. I called the main office in Auburn and the manager ... read more

Avoid it! Bad customer service!!! – I'm really disappointed with the customer service provided by Elephant Car wash. I took my car to this place to clean the front seat since one of my friends was sick and threw up inside the car. I called Elephant and explained the situation to them and asked if they had experience in detail car cleaning; they said "Yes" so I took my car there. The employees looked at the car and asked me to go back in an hour. When I got there my car had a really bad smell and there was still residues on t... read more

A Seattle landmark that has just gone down hill.... – I used to take my car to the Pink Elephant occasionally in college and felt that they were fast but thorough. This was back in the early 90's. I'm back in town now and VERY disappointed. Last week, I had a discount coupon so I paid for one of the bigger cleaning packages. I also asked for the mats to be washed and the trunk vacuumed. After what seemed like just a few minutes, the guy waved his rag at me to say they were done. I got into the car after tipping the guy, only... read more

SUPER BAD AND ATROCIOUS SERVICE IN A CAR WASH ! – My wife got me a discount carwash special at your Auburn unit(next to the Chevron Station by the Super Mall) For $ 13.00 and some change I have never had such a bad service experience going through a car wash. The 2 kids who were supposedly drying out you wet car hardly touch the car except for the front windshield and rear oen . They also supposedly dress up the white side wall tires and wipe the rims, they did not do any of it except sprayed real quick without wiping, They ... read more

The only elephant I'd vote for... – Is Elephant Car Wash. I've gone to them several times (with a Val-Pack discount), with a pretty messy car. Elephant's staff did a great job in getting my 10-year old car in top shape, cleaning the carpets, the exterior, surfaces, even the niches in the back (like cup holders). Their staff were friendly and fast. Great value.

What a racket! – I am disappointed in the quality of service I have received from the Elephant. Perhaps in the past they were ok, but it's far from that now. I paid for the gold package and I swear the neighborhood Texaco could have done a better job for 1/2 the price. The rear wheels and tires were cleaned and tire dressing was applied, but they seemed to have forgotten that my Volvo has front wheels and tires too! Next time I will be sure to spend a little more and take my car to a proper detail shop or do it myself.
