I’ve been a customer for years, brought multiple cars and never had an issue. Usually I’ll use the self wash bays but today I went to get an auto wash and for some reason my card wasn’t reading right. (Not because of their machine but because of my card) I had a line behind me so I called and spoke with Robert and he made it right. This is why I continue to give my business to Happy Cow!

This establishment offers the area's premier drive-through car wash service. While some wait times may occur, they are generally shorter than those experienced at competing automated car washes. Free vacuum service is a valuable added benefit, select the free token option when you pay. Ample time to thoroughly clean a mid-size vehicle, including the trunk, unless exceptionally dirty. The 24-hour operation allows for flexible scheduling, with late-night visits a viable option.

Great carwash always clean, open 24 hours. My only small complaint is when you use the automatic carwash the dryer isn’t long enough. The self wash is excellent

I love that the self serve stalls are open 24hours! I personally don’t mind going after sunset and without the crowd. Plenty of lights in the stalls and outside the stalls to get the job done. Plus there isn’t the need to hurry since there won’t be people waiting on you. Equipment is 9/10 functioning properly and efficiently. Plus it’s family owned and operated. Which means they actually care about it rather than some of these other spots (soapy *oe’s) I hear the touchless was is also impressive. But if your car is overly coated with dirt and dust I wouldn’t recommend the touchless wash as it is only jets spraying your car and not every surface will get sprayed precisely. It’s more for an in between wash. Just keep in mind if you do it and still see dirt spots. Plus the lights are cool at night.

I got the touches car wash and while it did pretty good with the water spotting and some of the dirt, its struggled with things like bird poop and bug drops that were a little more hardened. I saw cars after the self service station though and they definitely fared better, might try that next time if I have time to spare

I like the EZ payment system I think they overcharged for the car wash of being $20 I should do a $10 have a warning Bell when you're going past that and it charging more money than.

Great car wash! Kid and dog approved. Open 24 hours. They have 2 drive thru machines (brushless, or brush) or DIY bays in the back. Lots of space to clean out your vehicle and vacuums too. The lazer show is gone, (we loved that)! Still a great machine only carwash.

I used my card and they took $25 but I only use the car wash for 5 minutes.... It says that you pay and $5 increments so I don't get it...

I love this place because it makes car washing fun. Great music and a variety of ways to wash and care for your car.

This is a great Carwash. If you need your car washed this is the place to do it. Happy Cow has both automatic and self serve areas. If you're in a rush or want to spend time on your car this place has everything. Two Automated Car Washes. Eight Self-Serve bays. Vacuums for your interior. Parking for drying your car. Vending Machine if you need towels or other stuff. I've been coming here for years, I like to take my time when washing my car and detailing it. I think that this is a good place to do that. Open 24/7, clean, and they play classic rock through the speakers.

Good service options for DIY car wash. Basic wash, rinse, clear coat takes about 10 minutes of time which is about $10. Good car wash for DIY SERVICE.

This is the most expensive car wash I have ever been to. $1.25 per minute. The water pressure here is weak. I spent $23 to wash my van I usually get it done for $10.

Fully automated self-serve car wash. Similar to what you would find at a gas station. You drive into the stall and the car wash equipment moves back and forth across your vehicle. High pressure and brushes wash your car. You get a token for the vacuum cleaners with your paid car wash. Seem to do a pretty good job cleaning my car. There were two lines, one for each machine. No waiting for the car wash and the vacuums. Reasonable price, good quality, no waiting.

I had damage from a non-touchless car wash, and now only want touchless. I am so happy to have found Happy Cow. My car seemed just as clean as taking it to those other places. Only recommendation I have is to offer a monthly membership like many of the competitors offer. I would visit more often

This car wash is great. It wasn't busy at all, the bays were clean and the water pressure-soap mixture was great. I'll probably be back here for the next few weeks to keep the car clean; I appreciate you guys!

Well maintained, not over crowded on a weekend. Wash & vacuum accept card. Dryer in each bay. Worth the extra $ to come here.
