About Cool Wave Car Wash
Cool Wave Car Wash is a self-service car wash in Poquoson, Virginia. It is listed at 498 Wythe Creek Rd, Poquoson, VA 23662, which places it among the local businesses of Poquoson that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
Car washes in the United States come in four main formats: the express tunnel, where you stay in the car while a conveyor pulls it through brushes or high-pressure jets; the full-service wash, where attendants vacuum and wipe down the interior after the tunnel; the self-service bay with a coin or card-operated pressure wand, foam brush and vacuums; and the hand wash, where a crew washes and dries the car by hand. Touchless tunnels skip the cloth brushes entirely and rely on chemicals and water pressure, which is gentler on paint but less effective on heavy grime. Most express chains sell an unlimited monthly plan, usually priced at two to three single washes, that is only worth it if you wash more than twice a month. Gas stations often bundle a discounted wash with a fill-up.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 6 am–11 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (757) 269-0200. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, coolwavecarwash.com.
Its Google rating stands at 3.2 out of 5 from 159 reviews, which is below average for the category; consider the recent reviews carefully before visiting.

Lousy wash quality. Little pressure from the hose the soap dispenser was weak. Limited wash options as well. I have two videos showing how the washer didn't work after accepting payment. I reached out for a refund for the non-functioning washer but I never heard back.

I went through here earlier this week and elected to use one of the self-serve bays. The machine says the cost was $10, yet my card was hit for $15. About 30 minutes later, my card was hit again for $10. The next day I called and left a voice message along with an email and both have been ignored. That's my last trip to this place. Update: Interestingly, it's April 1 and someone just called to verify that the $15 charge dropped off my card, which it did. The story is that, similar to gas stations, a charge comes up right away and then falls off later. That is the case here.

Really dissatisfied with my visit today! Paid 15$ for a “Nor’easter” wash only to not receive any wash. Pull through car wash looked unusable. Ice coated everything inside & seemed to be causing the machinery to not work right. Attendant was unable to get the wash to work right. Upon inquiring for a refund I was told that there wouldn’t be any. If you don’t do refunds, have a sign that says so. The owner must be laughing all the way to the bank. How many establishments get worse year after year & manage to stay in business? Hey Owner, your wash is a bust. I want my 15$ back or a free 25$ wash for the inconvenience. Check this out, if you don’t make one of these things happen I’ll park my car in the tunnel & forget how to drive forward. You like your $$$ so much make this right before it hurts your pockets. The only reason this place deserves any star is because the worker, I believe his name was Henry, tried his best to solve a problem that is clearly beyond his pay grade. Quit being cheap & fix your rundown wash. Pathetic excuse of a business to be Poquoson’s ONLY car wash.

Nice car wash, but the attendant or owner comes over and talks to you while your washing your vehicle, friendly, but gets in your way which takes you longer to wash your vehicle and runs out the timer. Intentional? Maybe? Maybe not. Update: used debit card at selfwash was charged $10 even though it states $5 on was posted. Very suspicious

This car wash was awesome when it opened but appears to not be maintained since it opened. The vacuums are free but they don't work. The price is advertised as $5 but if you use a card you find out it's $10. Automatic car wash options are out of order and appear to be storing junk. Go somewhere else
