- MWMyaa WarrenOct 13, 20251.0I stopped by this car wash in desperate need of a quick vacuum. Even though there was a light mist of rain, I didn’t care I had already passed two other car washes where people were still vacuuming their cars. As soon as I pulled in, a worker rolled his eyes at me and rushed through a quick wash before I even entered the tunnel. I didn’t even need my exterior washed since it had rained all day before and earlier that morning. When I exited the tunnel and went to vacuum which was the only reason I came; every vacuum hose was lying on the ground, unplugged. The machines weren’t even on. I went inside and found two employees sitting around. When I asked for the vacuums to be turned on, one finally did but told me to “be quick.” I said fine, I just needed 5–8 minutes. After finishing, I went to grab a towel and some interior cleaner nothing was stocked. Everything was put away. I used to be a Whistle Wash member, paying monthly, but it’s been one problem after another: dirty towels, watered-down cleaning products, vacuums detached or broken, slow pay screens, and now no music, energy, or effort at all. This place has completely gone downhill. Save your money and your time Whistle Wash is not worth it. I just canceled my membership today!!
- JGJason GrahamSep 18, 20252.0Not only did my truck not get completely clean (causing me to manually wipe dirty spots and bugs off the truck) but the brushes smeared black streaks onto my white truck! Why do the overhead brushes not come down to my grill and hood to clean it like they’re supposed to? Why do the brushes on the passenger side barely touch the truck and sometimes not touch it at all? What’s the point of paying whistle express to wash my truck if I have to do half the work to get it clean? I can just wash it myself for free!!
