The RipTide Car Wash & Detail Center
●●●●○ 4.0 · 713 reviewsRanked 14th of 15 detailers in Durham, NC
The RipTide Car Wash & Detail Center, holding a 4.0 rating from 713 reviews, is frequently praised for its efficient and effective express car wash services, including thorough pre-scrubbing and powerful wash cycles. Customers appreciate the well-maintained self-service vacuum areas, which are noted for their thoughtful design, cleanliness, and readily available supply of clean towels. The staff, particularly Zach and Sergey, are consistently highlighted for their professionalism, pleasant demeanor, and exceptional customer service, often going above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. The center also offers detail services, referred to as 'super clean,' which customers find to be of high quality and fair value.
