I appreciate having a car wash for my van with a tall roof. All the equipment seems to work well. My only concern would be after using the spot free rinse I seem to have a lot of hard water stains on windows and plastic.

It was my first time, its a good place to wash your car, especially if it jas a tool box or ladder where other car washes don't let you go in. Will recommend and go back.

Good car wash and I liked the options. Must be careful if using a credit card to push a little silver button to stop the charges at the amount and time you CHOOSE. Easier to use cash. I can get my SUV clean for under $5. here. Use cash or figure out the button and you'll be fine! I made a mistake and the owners were super nice and refunded some of my money, Thank you!

Good place to get a car wash. Price was about 10$ total for my wash which got my vehicle clean enough and no issues. I read the other reviews commenting on the lack of function in the vacuums so I didn't use them.

I personally enjoyed washing and cleaning my car myself. It was our first time washing car there. The staff was so polite & friendly especially John. He guided and helped us with the controls.

It seemed like the soap was a little watered down, the pressure was good and the dryer worked well, except the attachment kept coming off I had to hold it in place. I gave it 3 stars because the lights in the vacuum area didnt come on. Having a well lit area is important, not just so I can see what I'm doing but for safety reasons. One light came on so it wasnt completely dark, but I would have felt safer had the one in my bay or the one next to me come on .

Love it!! I went here today to clean off my 2005 Jeep that’s been sitting in my yard for 3 years.. so you can imagine the grime. The brush was great, The water pressure was AWESOME. But i will say the vacuum suction wasn’t the greatest, the head was too big and just wasn’t great at sucking. I even tried the “turbo” setting and still wasn’t too great. And there’s fragrance spray u can buy.. the smell goes away in literally minutes 😂🥲 And they have no rags to wipe down your car.. that’s a need!! overall gets the job done when needed and non expensive.

This is the only car wash in the area. That doesn't take anything away from it. It is a decent place to wash your car. Sometimes the soap is a little low on the spray and the water pressure is a little low, but other than that, it is pretty good. The vacuum is good too. Most car wash vacuums are worthless, but this vacuum has three settings. The stronger the option you choose, the faster the time runs out, but I vacuumed my Honda CR-V on one charge. I would recommend this place if you want to wash the grocery getter.

Love every thing about this wash except for the spotless rinse which is to me the most important part. It has extremely low pressure and still leaves spots as if I used a gardening hose. Stopped going to This wash because of it. If they were to upgrade their spotless rinse then this would be a 5 star

I like washing and waxing my own car. This may have caused as much as a regular car wash... But I got to do it and make sure that it was done my way. This is a great place to take your car if you don't mind washing your own car. You can wash it wax it rinse it blow it dry... It's all there!

Great place to go when you want to wash your vehicle but don't want to take it through an automated service station. Also helps if you don't own a pressure washer yourself. Or if your living situation makes it hard to wash your vehicle wherever you reside.

The soap was pretty watered down and the water pressure wasn’t very strong. It had a hard time removing heavier dirt and debris. Bays are smaller, so not ideal for larger trucks.

Don’t get the pricing?? 😩. I remember when it was six dollars to get your car washed not too long ago. I got charged over $18 for a five minute, soapy scrub and rinse??? Not worth it!

I like this place. 8 bays, and a SHADED area to dry and vacuum. However, today, I tested the spot free rinse. It sucks. It's like a heavy mist, and there are spots all over my car, both windows and body . So, don't waste time and money on the spot free. Just take advantage of the wonderful shaded area and dry your car. I'm here at about 4pm One person has decided to hog the bay to dry his car..so there are novices on a Sunday afternoon lol I'm in a line, so plan to avoid on a late Sunday afternoon No updates necessary. It's good here.

The "Spot Free Rinse" here is the opposite of what you'd expect. What it actually does is soak your car in very hard water that will definitely leave spots. All over you paint, glass, and everything else it touches. You'd be just as well off using a garden hose. Buyer beware.

The self wash is a nice feature but the price isn't good. For every cycle for the power washer its $5. So for a complete car wash your are paying $15. You might as well just go to a regular car wash. That also doesn't include vacuum use either. Personally wouldn't recommend it. Soapy joes has cheaper wash options and free vacuum use with every wash.

There are no clear instructions on what to do, and which sprayers do what, or how to make the credit card payment work. I swiped my credit card multiple times and the system never started even though I had a charge of $10 on my card. It only would take cash, and it's five dollars for five minutes, which is barely enough time to clean your car thoroughly. I had to spend $10 cash and didn't even do the polish and finish drying. I won't be coming back here. What a rip off.

We used this car wash for the first time today and were very pleased. We needed a bit of help with the payment part regarding time. John was there and was extremely helpful! He took the time to explain it all to us along with some helpful tips. We will definitely be returning and recommend others come here too! Thank you John for your kindness and help.

Brought my truck here for a wash for the first time in a while. Everything worked fine but the pink soap stained my bumper. Tried using the other soaps and pressure washer to get it off, but it did not work. Why would you add a pink dye to the soap that stains everything including my clothes and hands? The foam brush just blew soap and pink dye everywhere. Never going back and hoping to get my bumper fixed by the company if they ever care to look at these reviews. Gentleman working attempted to help, but he couldn’t do very much about it.
