Seems like every time I go to Soapy s to wash or vacuum something isn't working. First time I went the coin dispenser wouldn't work and ripped me off $5. 2nd time the spray yourself washer didn't have soap. 3rd time I tried the drive through, machine only did half a wash and then stopped. Called the assistant waited 10 minutes got a free wash and a token for another wash. 4th time tried to use my token for a free wash, machine wouldn't except it. Tried to use a vacuum and no suction. Just really frustrated at this point with trying to get the machines to work, cant even use my free wash token. If you are going be prepared to call the assistant and wait 10 or 15 minutes for him to fix it every time. :(

Very poor experience, I about had my car washed before the water was warm not hot with soap! My car was not clean afterwards still bugs and road debree even after scrubbing.... my card was maxed out at $10.00 and it wouldn't run it again had to use a different card to rinse and the rinse water was cold. All together spent $15.00 on 2 different cards and my car is not clean... Very disappointing!

Love this car wash!! Me and my husband will not take our cars anywhere else!! Their brushes don’t scratch your car! There is always enough soap on the brush! Water always works! Drive through car wash does an amazing job! Vacuums run for a extended period of time. Free rags to dry with!! Couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommend.

I used a wash bay to thoroughly remove the road debris from the undercarriage of my SUV. I then used the automated wash, paying for the middle priced wash. When finished, I did spend a bit of time with hand towels to remove a few left over smudges and to eliminate the large amount of water left over after the air dryer. The air dryer should be just a bit longer for the price customers pay. Smaller cars may see good results but larger vehicles could use either 10-15 seconds longer or perhaps a better aim of the airflow(??). I then used the vacuum. I paid for 1 cycle and did not make it past front row seating. Short time provided for the higher price over competitors. Next time I will use my regular place (in Shelley where the vacuum is powerful and free, and also having free AIR. Let's hope for better and more competitive pricing, but I do not disregard that the service station is exceptionally great at this convenient location!

Too short of cycles for the money. Literally the shortest time for the money I have ever used. Will not go back. Will leave my vehicle dirty before I went back. There is a place that I use where I live that is almost as short a time. The difference is you get free vacuums and compressed air after making it an even wash, bottom line. Also has an attendant on site if there is an issue. The local one is also super clean and much better maintained.

3 minutes for $3. There is no alarm to notify you that time is running out. The grace period of 15 seconds to add extra quarters was not honored. I don't have another $3 to restart the wash for the third time so, I guess I'm leaving with a soapy car. 👎🏼 To respond to the below, the beeper must have not been working. I used the self wash bay to the right of the automatic bay.

Great car wash. If any fails to work just call the number they will reimburse you and make it right. Truly a place that values their customers. The last time I went they were out of dry drying towels. But this happened like 1 in maybe 100 washes. I always pack a towel anyways just in case.

Manual wash hose didn't turn on for the first minute even though I had set it to pressure wash. Given that they charge by the minute, it felt like a ripoff.

Excellent car wash that is always consistent! Drove up today and they had free "The Works" car washes for veterans. Super awesome to offer that and support local vets. Every wash I have ever purchased gave me a token to use on the vacuum cleaners in the parking lot. It's the car wash I stop at when I come into town.

This place is proof you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. For 10.00 you can get their best wash and it's pretty darn good. No brushes to scratch your paint, no one else touching your ride all hands free, love it. I was a little hesitant to try it out because the building is a bit run down but, I am for the first time happy to be proven wrong. 5 star's for being a great place to wash your ride at a more than fair price :). Thanks :)

It was my favorite carwash a few years back. I left, I came back, now its a filthy trash heap. I don't know what happened, but I'm not paying a place that looks like it was abandoned to the elements to clean my stuff. The one on Sunnyside still looks pretty good, but its nowhere near me. Edit: Alright, I came back a couple yeara later and used them again. This place is a dump. It will wash your car well enough, but I would rather take my business elsewhere if I'm around again. Its hard to take a place seriously when their purpose is to keep something clean, but it does little to nothing to maintain itself

Save your time and money by going somewhere else. We even tried switching bays but everything is in such poor condition that it was impossible to get our vehicle actually clean. Edit to add more info: We used the middle 11'6" bay first only to realize the nozzle on the sprayer had a broken guard that got in the way of the spray portion. That was $4 wasted. We presoaked the van anyway, then moved to the outter 12'6 bay.. just to pay again. On that one, the screen is black, so you have no idea how much time is left. The brush was clearly worn out and about usesles. It literally wouldn't remove bugs.. even after a presoak. It wouldn't even remove basic dirt from the back after 2 passes.. all while paying for the time it is taking and it all being presoaked. I've been traveling the US for almost 6 years and this is one of the worst car washes we've seen. Run down and clearly not cared for. Sad really. Reply to owner: We went to the one this review is for, which is located on Broadway.

It takes ages for different modes to happens like for the pre-wash to actually arrive you’ll use a full minutes, then between modes so your times keeps running adding in 💵 Plus it’s pretty expensive per minute. I used to go there a lot now it’s my last option as I find I am not really getting the bargain I use to.

We used the auto wash. We chose the middle of the road option. It was an absolute waste of money. All it did was get the car wet. It was still just as dirty after the wash as it was before the wash.

I feel like I got ripped off, you put your card through, but it doesn’t show what the charges are. $15 for my Honda civic, I washed my Subaru Forester in Twin for $8.00 and spent way more time than this. I gave 2 stars because everything actually worked. 15 February, definitely got charged $15. Wow!

I can not believe it was $30.00 to wash the truck! The price is outrageous and no prices posted any where for the self serve. What a joke could have gone through a drive through car wash at least twice for the price I paid to hand scub my vehicle!! Will never be back! The owner can say what he wants but I am looking at my account!!! This place is the biggest rip off i have ever been too.

This is the worst car wash! When I left, half of my car was still dirty. I paid for “ the works”. What a joke. This is the last time I will waste my money at this car wash.
