- JTJP TouringNov 4, 20252.0Just not good. Still have bird poop and dirty windows on my car
- BSBradd Dantuma (Skipper)Oct 31, 20251.0Minimum effort at this location. I'm sad they closed the other Whistle up the road. That one was fantastic. Here they barely spray your car coming in, just a limp wristed spray down while the attendant looks listlessly out into the empty void behind my vehicle. And forget about giving you the old foam brush scrub. The brush is in the barrel but they won't use it. Just went through and can still see dirt marks on the back and sides of my vehicle. They closed the wrong location. This is the one they should have closed. Get better... please.
- PMpaul martinOct 26, 20251.0Only pre cleaned drivers side of car. Blower not strong enough to dry car. No clean rags in rack. Ask for rags and they were rude.
- RLRoxie LongOct 21, 20251.0Soap was left on my windows... never had that happen before, last time half of the vacuums were not working.
- BBBrandonOct 15, 20251.0Wish I could leave zero stars for this location. Brushes that don't even touch the car raise cycle that barely spots out water leaves soap all over the car. Dryer that doesn't work correctly. Towels not being cleaned that smell of mildew just like the new cut location and that have grease on them left grease all over my windows and paint had to take it to an automatic to get it off grease was so thick. Vacuums they dont work even in the morning our afternoon lazy staff always on there phones don't even spray the car with the pressure washer just guide you in and play on there phones our walk away. Highly disappointed
