Great automated car wash. I love taking my SUV through because it comes out clean and shiny on the other end. It's worth the once a month cleaning!

Great place to self service you're vehicle or the express wash is also a great option. Always bring not only my work truck here but also my personal truck. Very dependable services and stations here.

Decent car wash however equipment and wash is somewhat dated by today's standards.

So, I don’t want to give a 1 star because I really do enjoy the place… up until today. My significant other and I have always brought our cars up there to detail/clean. We prefer to use the hand washing section instead of the automatic drive through cleanse as we genuinely care about our cars long term. We have always spent $25+ every visit while using that section AND using their products. Now, we have never had a problem using their products. Their products are good. BUT, we have ALWAYS brought a sponge with us to clean the parts that their brush doesn’t get to. We have also seen PLENTY of others do the same. Once again, we have always enjoyed cleaning our cars here and it’s never been a problem the way we do. Today, an employee walked up to us mid wash & tells us that we are not allowed to use the sponges and if we wanted to hand wash our cars, that’s what the tools were for & we would have to do it at home if we wanted to continue using the sponges. So, we didn’t say anything back to him as it has never been a problem and we were just a little irritated. We continue to clean our cars in the way he suggested & let me tell you, I scrubbed my car with their “hogs hair” brush 3 different times and my car, which is white, STILL WAS NOT CLEAN. Not to mention, the tire brush was also not working either so even scrubbing 3 times, my rims were still dirty. I finally got very irritated after already spending $25+ at this point as their meter automatically stops at $19 & it did that twice. I decided to leave with a half cleaned car due to my frustration of already spending what I spent & my car still being dirty. We both grew up here & have always chosen arts, but unfortunately I don’t believe I will be coming back. I’ll just choose to “hand wash it at home” instead of supporting a local business.

Be careful if you use this place, my credit card information got stolen some how when I used their car wash, never been to this place before and I went to go look at my credit card statement later that day and I seen I had a charge from a local food place right up the road from that car wash that I have never step foot in. I also made no other payments that day besides the car wash. I don’t know what kind of scam they’re running but I’d suggest avoiding that place. I did notify the police of the situation, just want to warn others

Don’t waste your money. This car wash needs to be updated. I spent $20 on a car wash and my car was still dirty. Every single window looked untouched. The guys at the beginning didn’t scrub my windshield so it was still very dirty. Paid and extra $5 for hot shine and I don’t even think I got it because it doesn’t look like it. Also vacuums don’t have a good suction at all.

My first time visiting Arts. Main reason, Zips was closed. The car wash left some kind of sticky Goo all along the bottom rocker panel, (tire shine?) there were no towels or window wash spray for your windows, and the floor mat cleaning machine was out of order. I tried a $25 wash on my first car and then a $15 washing my second. Absolutely no difference in what was sprayed on my cars. I'm leaving three stars for effort. Because the guy that preps your car was awesome. He did a thorough job cleaning and provided me a couple of towels and some spray when I walked back to the entrance and asked for them. Also, I can understand with the location, that people just walk away with your stuff. It's too bad you can't afford for an attendant to walk around and check on folks. My cars were clean but still needed a lot of post towel work. I spent a lot of time figuring out what to do. All the other people had their own towels. Lesson learned, bring my own interior supplies. I'll probably give Art's another chance, I'm looking for a monthly car wash service. If the price covered multiple cars, it'd be worth it... But so far, not sure I see the value over Zips.

I used the manual wash and pricing was comparable to other car wash businesses. The vacuums worked great, better than any I have used. Great suction and were included with my wash at no additional cost.

I would recommend. Automated but attentant on site to assist. Attendant used brush on front of car and sprayed entire car with pre wash. Automation did good job and vacuum really "sucked" but in a good way.

Got screamed at from across the parking lot by an employee for removing leaves from under my wiper blades prior to entering the carwash. I was confused, so I held my hand up with the leaves to show him it was just leaves and not trash. He then doubled down and threatened to cancel my membership. I've got my car and my wife's car on an unlimited plan and I thought to myself, why am I spending $600+ bucks per year for this? Anyways, I came back the next day and cancelled both memberships. The story really doesn't do it justice how irate Wayne was over about 2 handfuls of leaves on the complete opposite side of the carwash itself. Arts is the closest to my house, but there are plenty of other premium carwash options now in the area.

Best hand wash on the north end. Only critique would be have someone clean the sprayer handles periodically. Used one tonight and my hands look like I just changed the spark plugs in my old Chevy.

Been visiting this location since 2010. Used to only use their touchless laser wash but have since moved to their premium monthly wash package which I enjoy. They stay competitive with other washes in the area and are conveniently located in Little River. Would recommend their services! Keeping my rides squeaky clean for over a decade now. A+

Washed my truck here yesterday and was very pleased with the outcome. I used the bay where you wash vehicles yourself and there were many functions besides your average high pressure rinse, soap, foam brush etc. Used the hot wax and my truck ended up looking like I had waxed and buffed it. No leaks in the hoses and everything worked perfectly. Free vacuuming. The area was clean in the wash bay and everything is all up to date.

I took a friend’s car to Art’s because they had gotten “sick” in the car…. It was a mess … getting a picture never crossed my mind😂…. Anyway when I told them what had happened ….Their immediate suggestion was to pick up a particular product … spray it thoroughly…. And then it would vacuum right out… Not only cleaning it, but also taking care of the smell… It worked perfectly… I appreciate the suggestion and found out they really know what they’re talking about…. thank you so much

You all need to hire more pleasant staff. Came with my husbands truck to rinse off the back which had some dirt and a few leaves on the back “small leaves”. In the middle of rinsing the bed of the truck an older white man comes over and says “you better clean all that up or you can’t get come back” am I missing something or do they only allow clean cars to be washed. Of course we were going to wash most of the dirt down the drain but this man was rude. From now on I will go somewhere else to wash my vehicles. And I will make sure I tell everyone else as well!!!

It's a great value and does a nice job. The people are great who give you a brief scrub before you enter the car wash. I have always felt they should put a tip jar out at the end of the dry cycle so the hard working people up front could make tips from their good efforts.

Tommy and Russell went above and beyond to make sure my truck sparkled and vacuums are powerful! Highly recommend for a dyi carwash or automatic.
