- KRKristian R1 day ago1.0Your "Car Wash" literally leaves streams of dirt still on the car. Why did I even come here??
- KAken andersonDec 30, 20251.0They wouldn't honor a $5.00 promo code claimed it was invalid in the system it doesn't expire untill the 6th of January in 2026, and they don't know what to tell me. They were more interested in trying to sell me a membership to the car wash and other types of car washes instead of resolving the issue. I wouldn't go here. False advertisement to say the least
- LFLalana FedorschakDec 29, 20252.0I took my car through on a cold day and the drying function didn’t work, so my car is now wet and frozen. Also, none of the vacuums were working so I wasn’t able to clean my car. I requested a refund and they did not oblige. Won’t be back!
- JJJosephDec 26, 20251.0I pay 30 bucks a month and their over half of their “free vacuums” don’t even work and are falling apart they have had the same vacuums that Thomas car wash left them and they stayed with that now they are falling apart and not even working. Also some days they close 2 hours early which is very weird
- LKLance KarmaDec 21, 20255.0Dayana was very helpful in helping me switch from take five to whistle. She helped my mom include me in her plan and was kind enough to remove the previous sticker without residue perfectly. Very kind and great work at a time were the cold doesn’t allow for the will power for anything. Workers here preserve through the cold and do an amazing job to get you to what you need for a clean vehicle.
