Good basic carwash. Nice employee . I stopped here early on a Sunday am for a quick wash to clean off the sticky residue that coats my car after I park under my oak tree. A hose at home won’t do it. Cashier was friendly and very helpful. I told him I was nervous about lining up on the tracks (as I got confused and instinctively hit the brakes at another tunnel wash place where they then yelled at me). He came out to guide me in. Everything was smooth. A great start to my day! Is it the same as a longer wash with hand dry? No. Did it get all the dried on ick spots off my car? No. Did it clean off what I wanted and make my car look fresh again? Yes! For reference my car is over 10 years old and long past mint condition. YMMV.

Bummer. I've been filling my BBQ propane tanks at ShortStop for 10 years, and always had a good experience. Not today. 20lb tank holds 4.5-4.7 gallons of propane. It takes a little time to fill, and the fill usually costs about $18. Today a new young gothed-out fellow was working the fill. No smile. No response to a "hello." Had the hood of his hoodie up. I thought maybe he had his Airbuds in, but if he was listening to music it must have been terribly depressing because he acted like a Dementor. Not someone I would have working a service job. All this would have been fine -- maybe he was just having a bad day -- but in less time than it takes to tell he was done. Only 1.7 gallons in an empty 20lb tank. Maybe I'll be able to grill a couple of brats with that. At least I only

This was not a good car wash. There were several areas on my vehicle it completely missed. There was a lot of soap scum left over on the areas it did get to. No option for touch less wash, if that's a priority for you.
