Been going to this car wash for several years. Used brushless drive thru today, and what a waste of ten bucks. It didn’t clean squat, front and window still had tons of bugs, back window was still dirty, AND THEY EVEN REDUCED THE BLOW DRIER TIME FROM 60 SECONDS TO 50. No more useless $10 washes at this location for me. Hand wash is required here to get a good wash.

Tried to use the No Touch car wash bay. The machine would not let me select the $6 option, only $8 and up. I discovered this after I had already put my money in, and the machine also would not refund my money. There were no signs on the kiosk indicating that these buttons were broken or nonfunctional.

Great wash except for the fact that the dryers on the touch less wash last a max of like 30 seconds. The car wash is essentially useless if my car doesn’t have enough time to dry with their dryers. This was at 8:30pm on a Wednesday. Nobody else there. If I have to dry my own car when I’m paying for that service the wash is useless.

This was fairly cheap and very easy to use. Very straightforward instructions. Nice and clean. I washed with the self wash rinse only before because I had just came from new york salt. But the touch less was the first car wash that was not from an audi dealership I have ever been through with this vehicle

I had a problem with the card payment process and was charged more than I was expecting after looking at my statement. I immediately blamed the car wash and contacted the owner. Well, come to find out I failed to read the signs and push the stop button after turning it off. The owner was honest, knowledgeable and very friendly. After explaining what happened he credited my card back the charges minus the minimum even though it was my fault and I knew it. This is and always will be my car wash of choice. This owner takes care of problems. And problems do happen everywhere. Machines malfunction and parts wear out. Before you go negative on something, give him a call. I’m sure he will make your day. This guy has a lot of class.

I used the self service area and really liked it. The power wash hose has options for tire cleaner, soaps, wax, and rinsing and had good pressure. My car looked really clean when I was done - I think it was $6.50 for 10 minutes of the hose but you pay for the time as you use it. I loved that you could hang your car mats and hose them. Be prepared to get a little wet. Also, I would advise you to bring some towels to dry your car when you're done if you don't want droplet marks!

I visited this car wash because it was conveniently close to other errands on Thursday, 04/06/23. I chose the soft touch bay because it was free, and there was a line at the no touch bay, and I was in a hurry. I chose the $6 wash because I didn't need the extra features. I did not realize, however, that would mean no dryer at all. My car came out wet with soap on it, and the lower part had not been touched. I guess the lower part costs more. To top that off, then I found that the vacuums were not free, but I ended up not having time to vacuum anyway because I spent all of my time wiping down my wet car...and would you believe that the mowers happened to be there finishing up and using their leaf blower all over the parking lot? They blew grass clippings all over my car, which was still wet, and my car is big enough that I can't reach the top of it to wipe it off. So I ended up spending more time than usual compared to my regular car wash, plus left with a wet, dirty, soapy, unvacuumed car. Tomorrow, I will start over at my usual place, rendering Thursday's visit a complete waste of time and money.

If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality car wash in Columbia, MO, I highly recommend Lighthouse Car Wash. Prices are great, and the results are outstanding. I'll definitely be returning regularly to keep my car in top shape!

I come here occasionally to wash my Jeep manually, vs going through a drive-through carwash. I enjoy it because it allows me to clean my car as thoroughly as I like. The costs aren't too high, expensive but not crazy and it works for me.

I guess because of the size of my Jeep, the machine stopped in mid cycle. I used the "Touchless" option. I guess for now on, I'll have to use the wand.

It's a good car wash, just thought it'd have the rainbow bubbles but sadly, it does not.

Went there for a car wash yesterday but the results were not very good. The car was not cleaned dirty and had many spots of dirt still left. Not sure if the pressure or the soap was not good. I choose the cruise package for the clean.

The car wash is great. It cleans very well and I think the price is fair. I did have an issue once with it charging me and the machine not working. It is expected for all tech to glitch at least once. The owner/manager did refund me and I haven't had any more issues. Previous update: Charged me $16.00 for the touchless car wash but the machine didn't work. The only thing it did was spray water from the ground. I'll update if I get a refund.

Update: Just used the touch less wash the Yacht option and unfortunately it didn't do a good job like it did last time. There's watersports everywhere. Is something wrong with the machine? ---- After the issue was addressed I've had no more issues and had a excellent experience and service from Jeff highly recommend using their services.

I come here all the time to wash my car and pay for the "yacht" which is the most premium wash you can get. Today (10-31) i paid for this wash and no soup was ever dispensed just water. Not even a note to show that they were out of soup
