Auto Spa Bistro - Review - Midtown - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"The next time you’re hungry for food and a fresh shine, make your way to this Midtown day party for what might be the Atlantaest experience in Atlanta. Things appear tame enough from the outside with a parade of Mercedes G-Wagons and drop-top BMWs being handwashed. But inside, the corner hotspot cleans up, turning into a lounge with a full bar, elevated seating, and a host of ATL faves like lamb chops and shrimp alfredo on the menu. The Cajun salmon and garlic mashed potatoes are adequate (just like they are at a million other places serving them around town). Enjoy this version in the AC or out on the patio beside a table blowing hookah circles while they wait on their wax. photo credit: Mhandy Gerard photo credit: Mhandy Gerard photo credit: Mhandy Gerard photo credit: Mhandy Gerard Pause Unmute" - DeMarco Williams

Where to Find the Best Gas Station Biscuits, Barbecue, Tacos, and Fried Chicken in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Auto Spa Bistro might be one of the city’s best bets for food at a car wash. Drop the car off for a complete wash, wax, and full detail, then grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner inside the restaurant on site. The menu includes everything from omelettes, salmon croquettes, and Belgian waffles in the morning to fish tacos, a turkey burger, and Cajun Alaskan salmon in the afternoon and evening. Vegan options are available. Folks can even make a reservation on busier days, so there’s no wait for a table." - Beth McKibben

I won’t ever be back. Over priced and lack of care and service. I tipped being nice, and get to my car and it’s dirty. Barely vacuumed, center console not touched, dust still on the dash, seats not vacuumed, you can literally see the dirt. The bartender is rude(big light skin lady with glasses). I walk in, I’m standing at the door. I ask do I give this to you. She says yeah $48 ($58 after tip) and I need a physical card. I was planning on having breakfast and a drink while I waited. Nothing was offered. Sitting here watching them I feel like if you don’t have a car they consider luxury they don’t care. I’m in the service industry, and my tip would’ve been more than the $10 (I shouldn’t have given). From the time I pulled in, I knew I should’ve left. Then when I get the manager they “redo” it. The top of my jeep didn’t get touched at all. These are just some the photos after the the went back over it

Came here expecting a premium car wash and decent food, but left underwhelmed. The car wash was average at best — for the price, I expected way more attention to detail. Missed spots on the interior and streaks on the windows. The food from the bistro was also disappointing: slow service and nothing special in taste. The concept of combining a car wash and a bistro is cool, but the execution just isn’t there. Feels overpriced for what you actually get. If you’re looking for value or quality, this probably won’t be your go-to spot.

They worked with me with the pricing, and the fact that I only had an hour in order for me to get to my appointment. Which I appreciate, though the detailing was not worth $50. The guy left so many discrepancies. There was an armpit stain that wasn’t mine, he didn’t take the known trash out of the car, and there was stains on the outside of the car, and crumbs still in the front seat. 😩 I really wish I had a better review because they were so helpful.

I originally left a negative review after my first visit, as the interior of my car wasn’t cleaned properly. While the exterior looked great, I was disappointed with the overall experience at the time. However, I’m writing this updated review to highlight the professionalism and integrity this company showed in response. After reading my feedback, they reached out promptly, re-cleaned both the interior and exterior of my vehicle free of charge, and even refunded my payment (which they absolutely didn’t have to do.) That level of customer service is rare. They took full accountability and went above and beyond to make things right. It’s clear they care about their customers and their reputation. Mistakes happen, but what really matters is how a business responds — and in this case, they handled it with complete professionalism. Thank you again for taking care of the issue and restoring my trust. I’ll definitely be back and will recommend your services to others.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE! I came to Auto Spa Bistro for a in-and-out car wash and expected at least basic customer service. Instead, I was told I couldn’t sit inside their lounging area unless I ordered food or drinks — even though I was a paying customer there for the wash. When I refused, they literally handed my keys back and denied me service. So basically: unless you spend extra money on their overpriced food and drinks, you’re not welcome to sit and wait like a normal customer. That’s not hospitality, that’s a hustle. Car washes should be about quality and respect, not pushing food sales or treating customers like second-class citizens. If you can’t respect people who are supporting your business, you don’t deserve their money. Take your car — and your money — ANYWHERE else. There are plenty of car washes in Atlanta that won’t insult you, waste your time, or make you feel unwelcome.

I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the car hand wash service to include inside cleaning I received today. My decision to return to your establishment was based entirely on a superb prior experience, where Bobby treated my vehicle with exceptional care, as if it were his own. This initial positive interaction set a high standard that, regrettably, was not met during my recent visit. My disappointment is particularly acute given the amount charged for a service that was clearly incomplete. The stark contrast in quality was evident through numerous oversights: - The front bumper still harbored prominent bug spots. - The black trim encircling the vehicle was entirely overlooked. - Inside, the cup holders remained uncleaned. - The driver-side car mat was left saturated, necessitating a request for it to be dried, while the other mats were also neglected. - Dirt persisted on the door trims and cracks. - And despite a visible attempt, the tires lacked any reflective shine. Having to correct these basic detailing flaws myself upon returning home underscores the unacceptable standard of this service. Consequently, I can no longer consider Auto Spa Bristo for future needs nor can I in good conscience recommend your services to others. Please reinforce with your team that the long-term success of your business, and indeed their individual tips, are directly tied to delivering consistent, high-quality customer service and meticulous attention to every detail. The designated lead should be required to conduct a thorough inspection of all vehicles prior to their customer pick-up (observed him either sitting down like a customer outside or walking in/out the establishment).

Do not recommend. Came to get my car washed. Was up charged for a chemical wash because my car was quite dirty. That's fine. The worker later called that I had dog hair on the inside and that it was making his job difficult. I reiterated that I only asked for the body to be washed, I did not ask for vacuuming. He said that if that was the case he was done. I came back and they didn't finish the job. The top still had some dirty spots. the panel gaps and inside of the doosr/trunk/handles areas were completely untouched.

Pancakes are really scrumptious. Ambiance is grown & sexy. Nice spot to grab a bite to eat and hold a day vibes or even lunch if you’d like, while getting your car wash and detailed.

Short version: I took my car for a hand wash and wax at Auto Spa Bistro for the first time today, Saturday, June 21, 2025. I left a happy customer. Therefore, I plan to return for my next wash and wax. Will I have the same experience next time? I hope so. Long version: Based on today's experience, I give Auto Spa Bistro a solid four stars. I researched this place before bringing my car here. On both Yelp and Google, reviews are all over the place. On Yelp for example, Auto Spa Bistro currently has a 3.2-star average rating with 162 reviews. Reviews are polarized with mostly 5-star and 1-star reviews. So, I knew I was taking a roll of the dice. Today, I got lucky. This place has been around for a while. The first Yelp review was posted in March 2012. The business has stood the test of time. I've lived in the neighborhood since 2001. This place is often busy on the weekends when the weather is nice. Knowing this, I showed up around 9:15 AM, shortly after they opened (9:00 AM). I pulled my car into the lot and was seen immediately by John and manager Mike. Mike told me that a hand wash and wax (outside only) for my car, a mid-size sedan, was $100. That was consistent with what I saw on Auto Spa Bistro's website for 2025 prices. I agreed to the $100 wash and wax. John worked on my car. The payment process was interesting and consistent (at least, partially) with what I read in reviews. First, John wrote "$50" on one of those paper restaurant "guest checks" and told me to pay inside. Then, he said I could tip when I paid inside or tip later via Apple Pay or Cash App. I asked if he had Google Pay or Venmo and he said no. I agreed to Cash App since I wanted to see the finished product before tipping. Inside is a small bar and lounge. I wouldn't really call it a restaurant, though they do provide sit-down service. You're either at the bar, high-tops, or sitting in lounge seating. They have a lot of TVs. There was only one person working inside at the time of my visit: Nia. She was the bartender/server and took everyone's initial payment at the bar. Kind of funny paying for a car wash at a bar. She printed out two receipts: one went back to her and the other, stamped "paid," went to John. Nia was very nice. I read in some reviews that you're not allowed to sit inside unless you order food or drink. That wasn't the case this morning. Other customers and I sat inside without ordering anything. However, this may have had to do with the time of day and how busy they were. Maybe they restrict inside seating during peak times. I also spent time waiting outside on the patio. You can watch them wash cars from both inside and outside. However, if they're doing more detailed work like waxing, they'll pull your car to the side where it may be out of view. John finished my car in just under an hour. He did a great job. I was impressed with his combination of speed and thoroughness. I'm very particular about my car. I used to detail it myself for many years. I've also had many different detailers work on my car over the years, so I know the commonly-missed and difficult spots. John is up there with the best to have worked on my car. The only spots he missed were certain corners on my wheels. All the other detailers have missed these spots as well. Not a big deal. It's a nitpicky thing. Overall, my car looks fantastic. I want to mention two things I really appreciated about John: 1. He used "black shine" on the bottom molding/trim of my car without me asking. This is something that I used to do myself, but got tired of asking detailers to do (cumbersome). When I walked up to my car and saw that he had done that, I was so happy and taken aback a bit. It showed he has an eye for detail and he's considerate. 2. I had the oldest, crappiest car on the lot: a 2001 Volkswagen with about 305,000 miles on it. If you've driven by this place, you know they wash a lot of fancy cars. Not mine. Other cars during the time of my visit included two Porsches, a Lexus SUV, one of those giant, nice-looking pickup trucks, and a recent-model Corvette. Yeah, my old car was outclassed and stood out like a sore thumb. I say this because John still treated it like the other cars on the lot, with care and priority. I really appreciated it. Another thing I appreciated was after John was done washing my car, he pulled it into the shade to do the wax job. Cars shouldn't be waxed in direct sunlight because the heat causes the wax to dry too quickly. They used carnauba wax, same as me. I was curious how they were going to handle the wax portion and they "passed." Again, as someone who used to do this myself, I appreciated all of this. When it came time to pay the outstanding balance and tip, I was confused. I ended up paying one of the other workers $75 via Cash App (he and John agreed to settle up). So, $50 went to the business inside via credit card and $75 "to John" outside via Cash App (remaining $50 for the service plus $25 tip from me).

I wanted to get my car cleaned for the upcoming holiday and decided to swing by to this place near my office. It was my first visit, and I was very pleased and also disappointed at myself that I did not know about this place sooner. Great Customer Service Despite it being only 30 minutes closing time, as soon as I pulled up the gentleman who seems like the car wash superintendent inquired us to what I needed done and informed me of the price and that, even though it was later in the evening, he would make sure he accommodated my vehicle. He informed me of how long it would take and then gave me a ticket to go inside the bistro to pay . That's when I got even more surprised! Inside this little bistro was a really nice lounge type area with a full bar and dining options! They even had options for vegans ! Unfortunately, because of the late hour, the kitchen had already closed, but the lady who was managing the Barr was kind enough to go and ask if they could whip me up some thing anyway, but it was too late. However, I greatly appreciated her kind gesture. My car was immaculate. It was a great job and I will be going there more often. I also will probably stop by just to try out the food because as you can see by the photos, it's kind of a nice little lounge experience in the middle of Midtown . Note the hours are not late. They close early evenings.

I love how ATL is always thinking outside the box. You're going to have fun no matter what you plan to do for your day. I arrived right after work to get my Baby cleaned w zero expectations. The wash and vacuum package was $44. I went inside the lounge to wait and they had music, a full bar and food. I ordered lemon pepper wings and a Long Island. The wings were ok but pretty tiny for the price and the drink wasn't strong at all ( I hate that). But.....the ambience alone was great. The music was good, the servers were very nice and it beats sitting outside waiting on your ride lol. Only 2 issues: First-There needs to be a better signage on where to go when you pull up. It's very confusing until someone notices you and gives you the hand signal. Second-Do Not, I repeat, Do Jot be in a rush. I came 1pm on a Thursday and still waited for 2 hours. A BIG issue if you have anywhere to go soon.

What a unique experience. I enjoyed a cocktail while my car was detailed and was pleased with the full experience! The bartender was very nice and my car was CLEANED (inside and out) I'll definitely go back!

Go where your money is appreciated....this isn't it. I came ready to spend $125 on my wash and wax and another $100 or so on food but the staff was soooo rude before I even sat down...I walked out and told them to just give me the basic wash so I can go. I'm very hungry too, but I would rather STARVE than spend money at a place that doesn't appreciate my patronage... Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else...

I know they know HOW to provide excellent service when it comes to detailing cars, they just didn't do it for me on my most recent visit. I'd bought a car from Carvana on 16th Street and dropped it off at Auto Spa Bistro immediately for a full detail to include interior shampoo just because I wanted it to be fresh from the start it wasn't disgusting at all just a stain on one of the seats some crumbs in the crevices of the gauge and the door had a little something on it. When I got back to pick it up the exterior was nice and shiny but inside they literally vacuumed the floor, stains still there, crumbs perfectly placed in the exact same spot and now there's more the handles were all dirty the door had some new stain & it just put a damper on the excitement of buying the car cause I knew I'd have to go take it somewhere else and wait another couple hours to get on the road & enjoy it. I been supporting them for years and I only & always recommend them to everyone so yeah I was disappointed for sure. I paid no complaints & tipped 50 the money doesn't matter I just like good quality service consistently & I got played this time. I got a backup plan at the dealership but it's a little drive that I will have to be making cause I enjoy spending money where I'm getting quality service. Sadly this was my spot too! Damnit! I would air on the side of caution cause depending on who's there and rather they feel like giving you a quality detail YOU'RE taking a risk. Best of luck.

Two weeks ago, I tried this place out & had a good experience. Upon pulling up I asked for a outside only wash seeing that the inside wasn't dirty and I was only charged $29 which I thought was great & they were nice enough to to vacuum the drivers side. It was neat to be able to grab a bite to eat, a lemon drop martini & a shot of Coconut Ciroc while I waited for my car wash to be completed. They didn't take long so, it was perfect errand. However, I drove from Southside to this location this past Sunday after church and asked for the exact same thing and when I was charged...this time I was charged $44 which I was not happy about but, it was really to late because, I did but notice that I was being charged this until AFTER...I was given my receipt to sign the receipt. I went ti talk to the guy who was in charge (I forgot his name) but, he said I could of been charged $22 So as I searched & was looking for my receipt...he told me their prices had went up. I'm like well how much did they go up ! He said $5. Finally I found a picture of my receipt I had uploaded to Fetch and I was charged $29. I let it ride since I had already slide my card but, $44 for a car wash was not my cup of tea so, unfortunately I probably won't be returning . I'm like what do they charge for an SUV...? I was t even in my ride so, I thought I found a cool spot to bring ny sons car to but, dangggg not any more. Gesh!

This place is decently priced and super efficient with good results. I came in with a car that was ridiculously dirttyyyy as a result of dirt from an upper parking deck falling onto my vehicle. The dirt was so thick I could barely see through my windshield! The auto spa took me in as soon as I arrived and I was in and out pretty quickly with a sparkling fresh car. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because as a 1st time visitor it's kind of confusing to know where to go. I just had to roll down my window and ask where to pull in and where to go to pay and stuff.

This is a unique and quaint spot. You can get your car washed and have a meal while waiting. The initial impression is questionable but we were able to turn that around and have an enjoyable meal and experience. I ordered crab cakes with grits, eggs, and raisin toast and it was "tha bomb". We also ordered lemon pepper wings with fries and they were good as well. I will definitely return for the salmon croquettes and to try other things on the menu. My car was cleaned thoroughly and it didn't cost that much. This spot is definitely a lil vibe.

So, I'm not from 'round these parts and I thought it was a joke that food was actually served at a car wash. Boy was I wrong. So, the outside of this building is a typical pull up hand wash car wash (like legit guy standing outside with hose and car washing equipment and materials). When you walk inside to pay for said care wash there is a full service restaurant with bar. The music was on point (R&B, trap, and soul). Televisions adorn the walls which were turned to ESPN. There are not many tables inside but instead, a "club-like" lounge area with super comfy couches with small side tables, a few high-tops, and a bar area. The menu seemed to feature a huge selection of breakfast/brunch items. Or maybe that's what drew my attention and I failed to see much of anything else. I opted for the fried green tomatoes. They were served on a healthy portion of salad greens and dressed in a tangy vinaigrette. The tomatoes were good and tangy. The breading on the tomatoes left me underwhelmed. This would easily be a five star dish/experience if the breading were seasoned and thicker. I would definitely recommend this spot if you are on the fence. I can easily see why people would stop in if getting their car washed or simply to have a bite to eat because they were in the neighborhood.

Give a -1!! I came all the way down here being they were highly recommended and if people aint even here to wash your car I'm like really!! It's raining a little bit but they have a whole set up like they can detail a car no matter what. I will never come back down here unless I'm going to the actual cafe they have cause the lady was a sweetheart.

The only reason I gave an extra star was because the food was actually decent. The drinks could use an extra splash. However the car wash was horrible. They took every boy of 20 to "wash" my car and guess what? It was still dirty. They did not clean the interior nor offer an option to add the service. I've run my car through car washes that have done more for less than $45 that I paid. I really thought this was an amazing concept though.

I hadn't been there in years, was in the area, so I stopped and they were amazing! My car needed some love after a busy weekend, I was planning on stopping for lunch afterwards but realized they had the little restaurant, so I was feeling the omelet and it was perfectly cooked, the waitress was so friendly, and took special care when an elderly couple came in, it was obvious they are regulars, but the whole interaction was so genuine and lovely. My car had a bunch of tree sap from having to park on the street the day before plus I'm doing some rideshare driving , so I knew it would require some extra care, and my car looked spotless inside and out, I was extremely happy with service all around!

This was my first visit to this detail shop. Location: It's on the corner in midtown and very easy to navigate to. Price: I got my car waxed and they did a great job. He missed some spots on the inside though. $127 Food: Yes I said food...you can get food and cocktails at this location! I had a waffle it was just ok...but the vibe and music was amazing! Summary: It is a nice place with a lot of celebrity clientele. I would advise going early because as I was leaving the people started rolling in at 10:00 am. I plan to visit again.

I would give zero stars if possible. I took my car to Auto Spa Bistro last Friday at around 11:08 am. They took about 35-40 minutes to clean my car, and halfway through it I heard a loud bang noise, which I didn't care to go check on my car because there is a lot going on in the lot and I didn't think at the time my car could've been involved. At the end of the service it was around noon and there sun was shining right above the car, I did not see anything wrong with the car and so I drove off. When I got back home, I saw this big but shallow dent on the rear spoiler area of the car because of how light enters into my garage, it is not possible to see the dent with the car in full daylight. Plus, there was a big matte spot on the paint next to the dent as if they tried to buff some deep scratch out. (later they tried to tell me this was because of oxidation but the car is just 6mos old) I called the carwash and they asked me to go back there so they could take a look. When I arrived I was approached by two guys who started of by saying they didn't do anything without seeing the dent and without asking around their staff first. There was another person sitting down a few feet away who started yelling "THEY DIDN'T DO THAT HERE, THEY DIDN'T DO THAT HERE" as soon as I got out of the car. I did not feel safe anymore to continue arguing so I sat in my car until I waited for the police to come to file the report. I now am looking at around ~1200$ to fix the damage, plus I had to pay for the service and I even gave a tip to them. Their response to the issue was unprofessional to say the least and I would recommend you to stay away from this carwash.

Definitely won't be back. $25 to wash the outside & $40 for outside & inside is a bit pricey. Only to go inside & pay and have the 1 server...who is serving everyone food & checking people out for the car wash...to tell me that my card was declined. I was quite surprised as she handed my card back & took the next person, only to tell him that his card was declined too. Turns out, their credit card machine was down. So everyone, including patrons already eating their food, were told it was cash $$ only & to use the ATM at the gas station across the street. Then the employee states that this happens often! Smh. Super inconvenient. Very unsafe walking across the busy road. Two lessons learned today. 1. Always carry cash. 2. Find a better car wash.

Wow!! Is all I can say. This is my first time here. I was offered a wash and vacuum with liquid wax for $60 which isn't bad let's go.. oh but wait. I was the first car here waiting 30 minutes before opening. The gentlemen with the hand band immediately tends to the white woman in a rush who pulled in last (4th car). I'm sitting in my car watching him wash her car without saying a word to me. He then tells the other employee to help me while he washes the last car to enter I am here waiting an extra 30 minutes watching the other employees Set up! Yea I think I'm gonna leave now. An hour wasted is more than enough for me. Find a better car wash they're plenty in Atlanta

Food is overly seasoned but amazing, don't get me wrong! Car wash was 40$ for inside and outside. Be prepared to wait an hour plus for your car to be hand washed. Hookah wasn't smoking! There's no hookah menu but it's $40. They play good r&b music. My car was so clean and nice but why did y'all steal my changes? & A piece by my seat fell off & they just left it. Didn't aware me or reattached it. There's 20% gratuity on everything!! Food, drinks, hookah & car wash!

This place is interesting. I came to get a car wash but I thought, well... I might as well get a hookah and a nice meal. I had the salmon, broccoli, and mashed potatoes & it was pretty good. The only thing was, I went on a Saturday and it took over an hour for my car to get serviced. The guy that washed my car was nice so I tipped him well.

Middle AGED, FEMALE, PET owners Might want to think twice about patronizing this business which resulted in MY 911 call. after The MGR yelled at me several times when I returned later in the day to get what I paid for. At 2:30 I drove in a 2008 Honda w/child in the back seat ( I am not picky & definitely not expecting a miracle for my lil hooptie:-), the attendant tried to sell me on a $200+ detailing package. ;-( I paid $49 int &ext pkg. 40 min later, my car was ready. (Tay) asked me to "check it out," I was attending to child who, felt sick after eating Italian ice. I did NOT thoroughly check the car. I tipped $15. Later, I realized that the ENTIRE front interior was not cleaned. I returned( 7:15) after my pm dog walk w/ MY 2 STANDARD POODLES in my back seat. I had to ask 2x to speak w/ a MGR. The "MGR" told me Tay would get to me after he finished another car. I told MGR I didn't want to wait for a 2nd time in 1 day & prefer a partial/ complete refund. MGR declined my request for a refund, but offered me a FREE wash next time that I return. I was impressed & accepted the offer. I asked for a confirmation of his offer. Mgr gave vague information, NO business card, NO coupon, etc. If he provided any of this, I WOULD NOT be writing THIS REVIEW. He YELLED that he was trying to help me but I am inconveniencing & keeping him from closing duties & that he was not the one who worked on my car. He threatened to" NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING" to rectify he situation since he felt that I was being difficult. I was really taken aback & frightened by his aggression. Tay walked over 3x offering to help but the MGR sent him away. I decided to wait for Tay to finish my car BUT It only got worse with THE MGR SCREAMING that it was my fault due to DOG FUR (It is obvious that he is ignorant of the NON SHEDDING POODLE breed.) He SCREAMED at me for allegedly driving over a hose that was already under my car, while following HIS directions to pull into a space near Tay. I CALLED 911.Tay tried again to help but the MGR YELLED at HIM to go back to the car he was working on. Ironically, I think the owner of that car ( a real Man) told the manager to attend to me first, he obviously has better customer service skills than the manager. After the MALE customer's intervention. The mgr & another employee started cleaning the car.( I removed my Poodles from the car since I understand that not every one likes dogs). It took less than 5 minutes for 2 employees to do the job, AFTER the same MALE customer came to my defense. The MGR NEVER apologized to me, but he obviously backed down from a MALE customer. I cancelled the 911 call & left. A man yelling at a woman is unacceptable! In MY OPINION, mgr felt that he could get away with it Because of my AGE and GENDER. I seriously doubt that he would yell at a male customer! Employees, just like everyone else, make mistakes. A mgr who refuses to take responsibility is a detriment to a reputable business! Shaming your customers for allegedly having "POODLE FUR" in their vehicle, while supporting your detailing/ car wash business is despicable! If only I checked the REVIEWS prior to entering this business, I would not have had such a terrible experience. This is NOT the 1st example of this business providing sub par customer service! I thank the male customer who intervened on my behalf. It is good to know that REAL MEN still EXIST! I will take my $ and business elsewhere. So much for trying to support a black business :-)

Literally the best car wash hands down!!! Not sure if the other reviews are real but where can you experience a black owned car wash with a restaurant and music. The food is amazing and I highly recommend!

Been coming here since they first open. I should be a founding member/customer. Jim was the very first person who washed my car and has been a favorite since. Very personal. And the food is also great. Shrimp n Grits my favorite.

The breakfast was amazing and we received great service inside. The car wash experience was terrible. They charge $150 for detailing, take forever, and do not do the job of a basic cleaning. I was told my car would take an hour and a half to detail and after two hours i was told to come back in 15-20 mins. i came back to find them working on other cars that came after mine and my car just sitting there. The guy said another 30 minutes and was unapologetic and didn't even offer a discount. 30 minutes later, the car was not properly cleaned and had several spots on the hood and windows.

I've been here twice and had a good experience both times. The drinks are strong, the food is good, and my car came out looks so good, especially for the price. Highly recommend.

Just moved here from The Bay a cpl weeks ago. A friend referred me here. It doesn't disappoint getting my Jeep aka Black Betty cleaned. She just came over cross country and she's hella dirty. The guy advised I need the works including a wax. Plus the inside for $75. Not bad while I'm waiting I went to inside and ordered a drink and wings. V is hella cool, she made a great margarita and advised crispy on my wings. Muah! Deliciouso! I'll be back for the customer service alone. She greeted me and asked if I needed anything, prior to me even ordering. I dig it and will be back for food and a carwash .

Why is it so hard to find a good car wash place??? Only doing it myself from now on. This is what $38 and 1 hour gets you. I took it back once and still had to go to the corner station to finish vacuuming and actually clean my windshield. Sooooo disappointed also too because the atmosphere is so cool there. Oh well. @autospabistro I was offered a free car wash but I honestly just want a refund. No reason to go back.

What a great concept: Auto Spa + Bistro restaurant+ Full Bar. Of course make sure to drive responsibly! We enjoyed sitting outside and watching all the fancy cars stroll through and watching the staff methodically clean each car inside out. Good service! I will be returning.

Happened to be in the area in need of a car wash so since I've passed this place many times I decided to give it a try. They seem pretty busy so I was anticipating a long wait time to get my car back. Upon pulling up I was greeted by one of the employees asking what I wanted. I explained I wanted a detail inside & out because ants for some reason are attracted to my car & I possibly missed something cleaning it myself so I bring it here to you professionals. He quoted me $225 which includes wax. I typically don't detail my car because the dealership covers it so not sure if this is a normal price, I said that seems a bit much & he dropped it down to $125 without the wax -_- (what kind of wax y'all using) Anyway the concept here is dope, instead of sitting around just waiting for your car you can go instead to eat & drink. They have tvs & wifi in here also. Possibly hookah but I didn't inquire I was outside watching my car. I would feel better if I saw prices of the car wash packages, I would assume I go in the restaurant they would have prices of the food no? Maybe it's just me ¯\_(*_*)_/¯ Definitely check the website before coming I saw something on there for $85 If you read this far then make sure to add me lol The wash itself They have their designated areas, someone washes, someone dries, some vacuums etc. They did a great job inside, outside was so-so. For the amount paid & the time taken I expected it to be spotless, there were still specs of dirt I'm sure could have possibly come off if they soaked it...they had the time. Oh well. Recommend going to like an Autobell or elsewhere granted you don't get the extra amenities but it will cost a lot less.

Their customer Service is non existent and the so called manager seems like he knew somebody in order to get his job. He was extremely unprofessional and rude not to mention they are inconsistent on their pricing. I have been coming here for years and never paid more than $40 (before tip) came back a week ago and was told it would be $49. Ummmm did your prices change? He told me Yes which was a lie. I can't patronize a company that hires liars cause if you would allow your employees to blatantly lie then I can only imagine what else those employees are able to get away with. I'm good. Not to mention they do a shitty job of cleaning leaving windows dirty and not cleaning the interior dash properly. Last time I came I had to call the guy back over to the car to finish cleaning it. WTH!!!

Horrible experience! From the service inside of the lounge to the actual car wash. I was charged $125 for a interior cleaning and regular wash, online it states $125 for a wash, wax and interior detail. Here's the kicker, as you can see from the pictures attached, interior details include them moving trash in your car from one area to another area INSIDE your car. Also, i noticed some of the workers outside tweaking and shaking, i believe they hire crackheads to clean the cars. Inside the lounge i ordered as soon i sat down and it took the entire 1 hour duration of my car being washed for my food to come out after people that came after me ate first, considered that a scam and asked for the server to take the food back. I also ordered a hookah and the server said she'd light it but wouldn't set up the hookah because she can't inhale the smoke, went to the back and came back saying there wasn't any coals. Lol this place is a scam! Oh and the biggest thing was that my car wasn't waxed smh!

Update your hours on here!! Very disappointing that you close at 5pm yet it says 8pm. Also, how is it that I can't sit inside during the winter and I just paid $60 for a car wash. Not good customer experience. Need to find a new car wash.

If I could give this place no stars I would. First of all me and my girls get there. The server tells us we can't order food because the chef was GONE! Ma'am what?!? In the middle of a shift just poof? She says he'll be back in 20 minutes. So we order some drinks and a hookah. Hookah was trash. (I own my own hookah business so I know what a good hookah supposed to taste like) burnt hookah wrong stem to the base. I almost dropped it bc it wasn't secured. We waited almost an hour for the chef to come back. Finally he's back. We place our orders.... Food takes another 30-35 minutes to come out.... And everything is gross. My girl ordered lamb chops medium. They come out well over well done. Me and my other girl order wings.... Big ass plate 6 wings soggy as a mf. No crisp or crunch to them what so ever. The last homie ordered the vegan sloppy jo. Little to no meat, no sauce and the wrong type of fries. It took 15 minutes for the server to bring some JUICE. JUICE!!!! Then when we ask the server to get the owner/manager she wanna play stupid like she don't know where he is. Like she ain't just see him walk inside. So I go inside to look for him myself. I ask another server for him. She stated "I think my coworker looking for him" sis was at our table giving us the check. Baby girl we ain't ask for that. We asked for the OWNER. Now she wanna walk around looking for him. We go to leave and he say he gonna take care of our tab. Hell yea because this is unacceptable. We could've been somewhere else getting drunk and enjoying our food well over 2 hours ago. Never. Again. Black owned businesses need to do better. This is Atlanta, there's so much money that can be made and put back into the community but y'all wanna deliver crappy service and limp ass food. Absolutely not.

I was not impressed at all. I paid $39 for a terrible wash. Windows were not clean you can see towel swirls in the window care was not clean around the tires. Just moved here from Chicago would no more than $20 for a hand car wash and would get a GREAT wash. I will not be back.

Came here for a car wash and was a little taken back by the price. I drive a midsize suv and it cost me $40 for inside and out. I'm use to paying $25 max for inside and out so i definitely won't be coming back. Thought i was gonna eat food but not many options for us vegans outside of a bean burger. My car wash came out great but it wasn't better than anything I've gotten for $25.

"It's a car wash, ladies and gentlemen!" -- Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) Combination car wash and restaurant - why? And seriously, who knew? Thanks to Pam A. a few of us stopped in for car washes and brunch today to try out this somewhat frightening concept and I was pleasantly surprised. However, in good conscience I cannot give them more than 3 stars for many reasons. First, dropping off the car. The guys walk up to you and ask you want you want done to your car - simple enough. There is not a list of services anywhere and the website is perpetually under construction. I explained what I wanted done and the guy seemed to pull pricing out of thin air. So apparently, when we were there a basic wash and vacuum is $30. You want to throw in a wax, it is $125. WHAT? I have been to a dozen car wash places around town and that is crazy talk. So we went inside and took a seat. One person is working the inside between mixing cocktails, taking orders, cashing people out - one young woman. It isn't like the place is slammed busy, but still it was Saturday. We received waters right away, but it was at least 30 minutes before our brunch orders were taken. The waitress did apologize, but I saw her on her cell phone (texting, I guess) quite a bit - so it isn't like she was busy with other tables. Once we received our food, I was surprised that it was pretty good. I'm not sure what to expect at a car wash/restaurant combo. I ordered the 2 egg breakfast - I asked for the scrambled and cheese was offered. I opted for bacon and potatoes and cinnamon raisin toast. The eggs were pretty good - not over cooked. Soft but not wet - just like I like them. The toast was so dry, it was impossible to choke down though. I could only eat half a slice. The potatoes on the side were mixed with bell peppers and onions and had a nice spice to them. However the bacon had to be the saltiest bacon I have ever eaten in my life - basically inedible. Apparently the food and car wash transactions have to be processed separately - weird but ok. When I paid for my car, I was asked if I wanted to add a tip and how much. So I tipped and was told to take the paper receipt to the guy who washed my car. I walked outside and up to my car and waited to be approached. First thing I saw was a mess on the door of my car - it had been there before, but expected them to get it off. The guy insisted it was a scratch, and then adhesive and would never come off. I argued and another guy said it might be able to be buffed. They did take my car and buff it out. Problem solved, until he brought the car back and said buffing costs $25 (okay, tell me that BEFORE you provide the service). He then commented that it was no charge. So I might come back - I think the prices are on their whim and while my car looks amazing, I think I can get a better job for less (and set pricing) at Cactus, which is closer to my house. Fun concept, poor execution.

I've been here twice, it's the gold and purple car wash on the corner of 14th and State Street. Once about a month ago, then again today. And I must say, I think this is going to be my new weekly or bi-weekly carwash. SERVICES: First off, they hand wash all the cars. The general pricing from my understanding it is $10 for early morning carwash only (no tire shine), $15 for hand carwash and tire shine, $25 for inside and outside, vacuum and all that stuff, then the prices go up from there for other services such as wax, carpet shampoo, full detail, etc. The first time I got my car washed here, it was EXCELLENT. I mean, I was crazy impressed. Today it was just okay, a new girl washed it and she didn't do as well as the guy who did it last time. But still for the price, and proximity to my house I like it and will be coming back. There are about three other $10 hand car washes in the general midtown area, but again for me this 14th street location is ideal. They also have drop off services (and maybe even pick up services). This honestly has to be the best concept for a carwash I have ever experienced in my young life. The only thing that would make it better is some type of inside outside $15 special, like once a week or something... maybe a "lady's day" on Wednesday or Tuesday. INSIDE/BISTRO: What impressed me today was going inside the bistro, OMG this place is nice! It's like a freakin' lounge... a really nice and upscale lounge, which isn't obvious from the exterior. They serve a FULL MENU: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, and alcohol (full bar). They even have a VIP section, lol....And as of now it's really clean and nice in there and the lady at the front where you pay was really friendly. I even think they cater?! SUMMARY: This really is the "country club" of car washes, and the classiest car wash there is in the US. I really hope they keep up the good customer service because that is what MAKES a business in this day in age. I travel further to certain places JUST because the service is better. All in all, this is a great place to go get a hand wash,and it never seems to get too busy since they have the most amazing hours on Earth-- 7am-11pm. Yes, you read that right... it's on their Facebook page, what kind of amazing madness is that?! I can totally see this franchised out sometime down the road, it's definitely the next BETTER, luxury version of Cactus Carwash, mainly because they hand wash cars. Machines can mess up a car, and anyone who truly loves their ride prefers a hand wash over anything especially if you drive a luxury vehicle. I'll re-rate once I actually eat in there and everything, but so far so good. I'm glad I finally decided to get my car washed here after passing it so many times.

So when I was taking a class at Georgia Tech, I would always pass by the "Auto Spa Bistro." One day I decided to go, and asked if they had a special. They said it was $10 for an exterior wash. I thought it was a good deal, and they said it was $5 extra for tire "dressing" (I think that's what he called it). I got the exterior wash and tire dressing for $15. I guess the wash is inexpensive because they expect car-wash customers to go into the bistro to get some food... I didn't go in to eat, so I waited in the room on the right. It said "No pictures allowed," but I took some pictures anyway. This room looked very worn out and old. The sofas were pink and tacky. There was a TV playing some sort of reality show. The room had a huge window where I could see my car getting squeaky clean. I believe I waited ~25 minutes for my car, and it wasn't even busy. I'm not sure if 25 minutes is fast or slow service for exterior and tire. Anyway, the people working there were friendly... a little too friendly, but that's fine I guess. Service was alright. The cashier lady was very confused and it took ~10 minutes for me to pay. I think the computer was down or something. I'll probably go back if I'm in the area!

The Auto Spa Bistro This is the first time I have encountered a car wash with a full service bar and a menu. Atlanta's version of upscale services are very different (not in a bad way) just different than South Florida. Location- located on 14th street. GPS takes you there without confusion. Pros- Assistance as soon as I pulled in. Everyone is working hard, it was busy, with that being said you don't want that be I the situation where your waiting to be attended to. Cons- if it's packed I don't know where you will park. Maybe a Menu with prices for customers as they pull up so you know your options. Inside- I appreciate that there are signs that prevent it from being the hang out spot such as no marijuana smoking or hoodies on the inside of the building. This seems to be the culture of ATL. For a 40 dollar car wash and advertised dine in I think you would like a comfortable ambiance. The food-it was ok. I would recommend an appetizer because of cost-to-quality comparison I had the Calamari and a sweet tea. Total was 13 and change. The Calamari was ok not great quality. To wrap this up. My car was cleaned I got the 40 dollar service which is inside and outside. I believe it is 35 before 6:00pm and 5 dollar up charge after. The inside and outside looked good. The guy who was helping me asked me to check the car before I left which I appreciated. I was treated like a customer rather than a number. I might comeback. 40 dollar car wash that could be about 10 dollars cheaper. I think you are paying for the experience. 4 stars for the Carwash 3 stars for the inside waiting/bar lounge

Total rip off..... NOT ENOUGH VALUE! Go to misters and get more value for your money..... The only thing they are doing a good job of washing is your pockets... I really wish this place would be more reasonable with the value they have so much potential but fail to realize they are turning off more and more customers.... This is how business always fail... #Greedy

SK is a valuable employee and provided a great customer service experience. He went above and beyond and I will definitely be back merely because of this recent visit. People often complain when their not satisfied but seldom when they are. Management, he's definitely a key employee. Also, Travis was superb as well. Clean as whistle.

First time visiting, I needed an interior and exterior wash after driving through snow and having a friends dog in my car. The place is very popular and I had fun watching all the different cars come through while I waited (this must be the spot of choice for Lamborghinis, bentleys, corvettes etc... I actually felt a little out of place with my humble Mazda SUV) - they seemed to be doing a pretty efficient job with plenty of staff, but my wash took ~45 minutes total. I didn't eat while I was there but the food actually looked pretty good. One issue was the team missed my trunk, but when I realized it later that evening I stopped back by and they apologized and made it right immediately. Like I said it was pretty busy so it was probably just an oversight. I'm happy to go back next time I need a good interior detailing and a wash.
