- CHCrystal HarrellNov 11, 20251.0Came through for $10 car wash, on Oct 3rd, attendant overcharged my card, he charged me for a $10 wash and a $32 wash. I mentioned it then, because it said “approved” twice. Noticed overpayment, went straight back to the store to get a refund, young man directed me to customer care in (South Carolina). Customer care says you’ll get refund in the mail by October 14th. No refund on October 14th, then CC says you’ll get it by the 24th. The 24th came and went, customer care oh you’ll get it by the 28th of October. “It will be in your mailbox.” October 28th came and went CC, said oh you’ll get it by November 1st, you’ll get it by November 8th. I go back into the store on November 7th, spoke with Tony. I once again prove the over payment, she said let me reach out to customer care,she took my name and phone number. But for me to stop back in the store NEXT WEEK and we will take care of it. So I’m supposed to come back to the store a third time? Lmao Well it’s next week and I haven’t a word from Tony or customer care. How many times do I come back in the store, or reach out to customer care before they refund me? it blows my mind this company can’t refund a measly $32. What a joke! Screen shots are from over payment and from the car wash attendants screen showing I got the $10 wash. Welcome to the new way of doing business. Zero customer service. They just take your money! Good luck getting a dime back! Looks like I’ll let my bank sort it out.

Called company assistant manager called me back said he saw on camera when it happened would check the pit for it and call me back. Never did. Filed a claim like I was told by cooperate to do and GUESS WHAT, it was DENIED. so be careful when using car washes that are not touchless. I learned the expensive way. Oh I live 1 1/2 hours from the place. Was on way back home so ran through there's.
