I love this car wash it has everything you need. Only problem is it has became a hangout for teenagers. They play loud music and have like burn out competitions with no care who else is trying to use the car wash.

Great service! I accidentally scan my card twice at the automatic touchless machine wash and they gave me a refund no questions asked. Thank you for refunding my money. The wash did an amazing job on my car with all that salt we just had on the roads. You will now have a lifetime customer! Thanks

Throughout the day you can typically find an attendant on duty. They help with car wash selection, placing payment in machine, or apply bug remover to the front of the vehicle. The top automatic touchless wash is $12, which is less than other near the area, and with that you get a voucher for the vacuum. When I forgot my bleacher seats between the vacuums the attendant collected them. When I came back, I asked if they had been turned in, and the stated he has picked them up. I was overjoyed because my mom recently had back surgery, and if you spend the amount of time on the bleachers like we do for sports (volleyball, baseball, softball, and wrestling) you would be thankful too!

Great car wash for the brush and spray, or auto touchless. Always clean, sprayers work and brush as well. $4 I think is 7 minutes and will get you a basic spray, brush top and sides and rinse. You need another $2 to get an SUV size car clean. Plan on $9 for a full size truck. Other than that, just a great car wash.

My Go-to car wash till the automatic car wash ate my $13.00 and it glitched out. I called the phone number and after many promises of a refund, nothing ever came. Avoid this place is my advice to all. Word of mouth can really hurt a business. Nobody likes to be ripped off. The money did come out of my account, not a happy customer. Use at your own risk!

My favorite car wash!! I know having a favorite car wash is a weird thing but I love having a clean car and this car wash makes it possible without being too mean on my wallet and I don't have to go anywhere else for anything this place has everything for cleaning the car. There's a vending machine with all kinds of stuff for the inside of your car, the vacuums are really strong, never clogged and very affordable! One of the vacuums is also a shampooer and spot stain remover!! They also have a dryer that you can used once your done washing your car even if you washed it by hand!!

This place is now called Batter Up, it is great, very clean, the employees are friendly and helpful, and it's the best touch free automatic I've ever used. They now offer glass repair by appointment. I can't even see where the damage was on my windshield. Give them a call for rock chips!

When I drove into this car wash it was a beautiful clear day. I received an excellent car wash but as the bay opened and I drove out I was thrust into the middle of a massive downpour. I’ve heard washing your car can cause rain, but this was instant karma. In summary: great car wash, but it might control the weather… On the plus side I did get to enjoy the rain beading up on my fresh protective coating.

This was a great car wash when it was gorilla wash. I didn’t renew my years long membership here because the auto washes are always down and if the are open it seems like it’s does a very spotty job like it sprays air or the nozzles don’t work leaving streaks on your vehicle. The air dryer timer was shorted so bad you might as well just expect water spots on 90% of your vehicle. The manual bays ain’t any better. POS card readers don’t work most of the time, when they do the timer is short so you are constantly swiping your card and most of the time it tells you to reswipe the card you used even when you are using that card…very glitchy. Don’t bother with cash old or new the machine likes to reject it.

Self-serve car washes on street front, self-serve vacuums in the back. Plenty of space all around to turn your car in which ever position you need to wash and vacuum. Accepts quarters, cash, and credit cards. You’ve got an Imos pizza restaurant down the way if you get hungry.

This carwash is basically the same as the Wash-N-Go automatic wash off Pontoon road next to Walmart. My suggestion is to go to the Wash-N-Go. The reason is that Batter Up Car Wash is $6.00 more expensive for the same wash. I personally feel that I also received a BETTER wash at Wash-N-Go. Top wash at Batter Up Car Wash $18, top wash at Wash-N-Go, $12. Need I say more? NEVER AGAIN!

Excellent experience and location using this car wash to prepare take our car to the VPC for shipping. There are automatic and multiple self wash stations and vacuums. The price was very reasonable, $5 for 7 minutes 30 seconds, especially for all the cleaning options: wheel cleaner, high pressure soap, brush scrub, wax, dryer, etc; vacuums, $1 for 3 minutes. Options for using card or cash is helpful. There was a steady flow of cars using this car wash the day we went, even with rain forecasted. The attendant was very courteous, he even added a couple complementary minutes while emptying the machines, as we were using the dryer.

EDIT: Alan the owner just reached out and offered a full refund so I will give him credit for being a honest business owner. That means a heck of a lot to me. Thank you Sir. Went through there tonight and the whole passenger side of my car is still filthy. That was a waste of money. Never again. The front of the car is no better.

Left dirt on the top of the car and bird poop on hood did not come off. This was the automatic car wash. Not the self wash. Not impressed.

We love Batter Up carwash! My husband and I always do the no touch carwash and gave been seriously impressed. The Grand Slam is the way to go. The one time we had had a minor issue where the wash stopped working, we called the phone number and the owner answered immediately and helped us get an upgraded free wash in the next bay over. He was very nice and we appreciated him very much. We highly recommend Batter Up!
