    The price keeps going up but the quality of the wash is the same or worse (and slower most days).

    Well this location went downhill. Today an employee jumped in front of my car and start knocking on my window. When I lowered it, the employee start asking me in a passive aggressive tone - are you happy with the service, because when people leave no tip they are not happy. You are happy, right? I found such an interaction pretty strange and really prefer to start washing my car somewhere else. The guy at the entrance of the car wash was good though but as always one person can ruin everything.

    I just needed an exterior wash and a vacuum. The lowest cost, $28, Again, I clarified, basic exterior wash and vacuum. It was not a big job, single driver not a messy vehicle. So disappointed there isn’t a basic option. Wash and vacuum. I use to frequent often but won’t be back.
