Local hidden gem in Lexington. I had never been there before last weekend and now I’ll never go anywhere else. Small business, family owned, and they did a great job. As a former customer of that other big car wash it’s worth traveling a few feet off the main road I promise! They dressed my tires, rolled my car up and dressed them again. Attention to detail??? You bet.

Outside wash only now due to the price hikes, which seem to be every other month now. They do a good job. I've never had a bad experience. Been coming here for more than 20 years.
