    Very poor experience. They made “upgrades” recently, but now it takes a very long time to get your car washed. They only have one of the two lanes open, and it always breaks down. You basically just sit in line for 15+ minutes at a dead stop waiting for them to fix it every time.

    You can keep changing your name, but it doesn’t change the fact that this is the worst car wash set up ever! Your wash keeps breaking. What am I paying for?! do yourself a huge favor and go somewhere else!!

    I have been coming here for years, but now they have changed the layout of how you pay and enter. It’s very inefficient. You will spend at least an extra 10 minutes waiting in line when you should not have to.

    I was hoping that the new equipment would have eliminated the zebra strips of dirt and would actually wash the bird crap off the hood of my car. The owners probably paid hundreds of thousands of dollars on this new equipment, but it’s just not adjusted properly yet. Back to hand washing again I guess. How frustrating when all you need is a quick, quality car wash close to home! You should offer quality control towel-offs of the cars coming out of the wash for free for a period of time to determine where your new equipment is falling short, and then actually follow through and have the necessary adjustments made. I have been going to this car wash under different owners since 2002.

    Used to be a pretty decent Car Wash, but due to new management, good employees leaving and a takeover by a different car wash company, service and quality has gone downhill in the past month. 15 minutes out in the street waiting in line for a car wash that only has one tunnel open and with different gate locations. The new owners should have done their homework better and left the gates where they were and got the number one register working or install the new one on the other side of the gate instead of having everybody bottleneck into a dual gate system that my pickup truck won't even fit through in 1 turn anymore. They should have stayed closed until all construction was done. The new layout will be their downfall and unfortunately good employees will take the rap for that.
