Drove my truck to Columbia from Texas through rain, mud and snow. Caked in salt and bugs, I wanted to clean it off, especially the undercarriage. Since it was 30 degrees outside I didn't feel like laying under the truck to spray off theunderneath. So I used the automated touch free bay. Really hate the thought of touch car wash where material is rubbed across the paint. Had hope the car wash would meet my expectations, but it far exceeded them. Unfortunately they have only one automated bay, so you might have a little wait. A+

I spilled laundry detergent inside my toolbox and figured a power sprayer might be my easiest solution. Though this place is farther away than I thought. It is the ONLY good self service car wash in columbia. I'm surprised it was not more busy. Everything worked, had good tools and options, was not overpriced, and I think my truck left cleaner than if I were to get a wash at tiger express... and for cheaper. Worth it if you have the time. And it was fun

Touchless car wash would not take my card no matter what I tried. Was able to find bills to pay but damn it was a while just trying to pay for the wash.

My car was already pretty clean however wanted to remove some bugs of windshield, front bumper, and head lights before I take long trip to Chicago. so I spent $8 at touch less car wash and not a single bug was removed from bumper. Once got to Chicago I went to $4 touch less car wash and oh boy it removed everything all the old plus new bugs from entire car and tires look so nice and clean. My car looked so nice and shiny. But will never be going back to this car wash. Over priced and basically useless wash.

The automatic wash leaves a residue on all but the high end wash option. I use this car wash a lot and it's dissapointing that it hasn't been fixed.

Easy to get in and out of, good quality tools and detergents to clean automobiles inside and out. My vehicle always looks good after i leave. Also if you are like me washing your vehicle is fun. So its quiet locale is the perfect spot. I try to go twice a month

My kids love this car wash! Multi colored soap and they think its a treat to go through! Lol. Always does a good job and great location! (If you saw my previous review I made a mistake and posted the wrong review to the wrong car wash- the card machine here works great- sorry about that)

Lighthouse Car Wash is a classic "back in the day" car wash that I appreciate for its simplicity. It's not too expensive, which is a bonus. However, it's clear that this place hasn't been updated in quite a while. While it may lack modern amenities, there's a certain charm in its old-school feel for those who enjoy a nostalgic car wash experience.

My favorite car wash. It just feels spacious. The prices seem fair to me and they keep adding new things like the manual air dryers and the shampoo vacs. Its kept very clean and I've never had a bad experience. The owners do a great job insuring the cleaning products are stocked I've never paid for a wash and not been able to fully clean my truck like some other places around town.

I love this car wash because it does not scrub my logos off my Spradling Home Inspections Suburban!! It is easy to use and I can pay way less than $40.00 a month! I usually go twice a month and can choose my wash cycle for that time!

I go here for the automatic touchless wash but their card readers are trash. They keep declining cards with money on them. My only card that used to work is now being declined so they don't get any more of my money unfortunately. UPDATE: Got in contact with the owner and they explained it was a temporary tech issue and are working with support on a resolution. Adding a star because the wash works well and I'll now be returning to try again in a few days. Great interaction with the owner as well. Top notch!

The soap works, the pressure is great, the bubble brush, is always full and actually works 💪. 5 or 6 bays w 2 tall wide bays. All fit lifted 4x4s . He prefers you wash your muddy stuff in large bays to keep smaller bays clean always. Beat self car wash in Columbia Missouri. Always works. Tokens or quarters cash changer.

The self serve wash isn't great. Twice now I've had the wax go on very white because something was messed up with the wand. Left a haze I had to buff out. And I dontv like that if you're using debit it puts a minimum hold of 15.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! It's a RIP OFF SCAM!!!! I got quarters at the change machine thinking it's like every other car wash I go to. Went to wash my car. They don't take quarters. I had $4 in ones on me. Didn't see the hidden fine print where it says it cost $5 minimum. So I put a buck in thinking it would show me how much it cost and it might be $2-3 like other car washes. Nope $5 minimum. It wouldn't let me get my money back either. Had to use my card. And I kept pushing stop multiple times before it would quit charging me. Im afraid to see my bank account because this place is shady and tricks people by not posting their prices, refund info, or the fact they don't take quarters clearly enough or at all. DO NOT GO HERE OR SUPPORT THIS SHADY BUSINESS!!!

Do not use your debit or credit card in the hand bay as it will charge your card $20. I took less than 5 minutes to wash off my car.
