Customer Reviews
By far the worst auto car wash experience. AZ and UT washes did better by 1k% somehow my car ended up dirtier than when I got there. How does this even happen? A new rag is now toast from this place from wiping off the paint alone. Guess the wheels can wait. Don’t waste your money on the wash, and especially not the upgrades.
Highly recommend this place if you prefer a do-it-yourself, detailed car wash. I drove through a muddy road and knew a regular drive-thru wash wouldn’t be enough, so I came here and I’m very satisfied with the experience. The car wash is easy to access, well equipped, and offers a good variety of soaps and conditioners, included with the purchase. For a very thorough clean, I ended up spending about $30 since the only option is $15 for 20 minutes, and I needed more time to get everything spotless. I ran the brush through twice and used the conditioner, so if you don’t need such a detailed wash, the 20-minute option should be plenty. One thing to note: bring your own towels, as there’s no drying option available (or at least I didn’t see one). Overall, great value and results, especially
First off all, I brought in my new vehicle that I have now owned for 3 weeks. It was fully detailed off the dealership. I paid for the premium (highest price) package and it clean nothing. I have bird poop and dirt spots all over my car. When I left my car was wet, as the machine only passes once for the dryer. And now to the worst part, they literally put the bays in the corner where you have to make a sharp turn, and has the most narrow entrance and even using my camera I scratched my wheel! My brand new 65k vehicle now has a gash on my 21 inch wheels! I’m so pissed off right now. I want management to call me immediately.
I came in when the sun was going down and the lights in the bay never came on. I had to continue to wash my car in the dark. There is also no STOP button. Once you pay the meter runs. So even if you finish earlier you still get charged the whole price. There is also no dryer function. And the like other reviewers said the space around the bays is so tight it’s difficult to get out when other cars are parked in the vacuum station.
Touchless car wash left colorful soap all over my car stained my white car. There was pink and green soap everywhere too that I washed off (hopefully). I had to wipe down my entire car but my newish car is now ruined and stained. Not even a way to get ahold of them so I don’t even know how to resolve this.
