This is a great location. I love the fact that all of their squeegees are usual in excellent shape and their Windshield Wash is always clean and full.
Always a great experience here.

WARNING, PET OWNERS!!!
☆☆☆WARNING☆☆☆
DO NOT PUT YOUR DOG IN THE DESIGNATED DOG AREA!!! IT IS STICKY GRASS, WORSE THAN CUCKLEBURS!!!!
Our poor little dog was covered, between his paws and all over on his underbelly. He has longer fur and two of us had to try to pick it all out for over an hour! We ended up having to cut a lot of it out of his fur. They should NOT have the doggy area in that awful grass. It's super sticky. Our clothes and car was a mess.
