Paid for Max level unlimited washes.Did not clean my jeep, ran through twice
, lots of malfunctions 1/2 of the side brushes did not turn on. None of the
Overhead Brushes turned on, had soap on hood and roof when I exited. Only polished front wheels turned off on rears. When I asked for a refund, I was told all they could do was cancel the auto renewal, but I still had to pay for this month even though it did not clean my vehicle. . I would avoid this place if you have a truck or a jeep.

I am a member and was very annoyed to pull in before 6PM on a Sunday after a long road trip only to find you were closed. Update your business hours.

Beware if you have a subscription. They make changes to your plan without telling you. I have 2 vehicles that go there and one of them they increased the cost without notification or permission. The other one they slightly changed the cost and downgraded the plan. I have contacted them and the information they have on their side are VERY inaccurate. They have wrong names, wrong plans, and wrong prices. They have not added this wash to the app so you are not able to see what is going on with your plan and I think they take advantage of that. Keep an eye on your bank transactions and occasionally ask what plan you are on. They will downgrade you and you won't even notice.
