Its honestly pathetic how often this place is closed for no reason at all during normal business hours. Complete waste of my membership. Don't get these guys your money and find somewhere else to go.

Go elsewhere. We have their highest level family plan and we rarely get to use it because they're closed all the time. Alllllll the time.
At least update your status on Google to temporarily closed.

4th time I’ve stopped by during business hours and they were closed. Most recent time was 4:30 in the afternoon on a Monday. I pay for unlimited washes and can’t seem to even get one.

I wanted to treat my mother today and paid for her car to get washed. I wish I didn’t waste my money on this car wash, I felt bad because first of all the 2 men rushed and were aggressively brushing her car, 2nd of all the soap didn’t even fully come out it was just a huge rush, 3rd of all we were unsatisfied as we still saw white marks from the soap and other marks. Definitely is not a car wash I recommend given the fact it didn’t leave my mom’s car not even the lightest spot less. We had to go to another car wash, OUTBACK AUTO WASH NEVER MISSES! Yall over priced too, cmon now.

This car wash has gone downhill so fast. They hit a new record of being closed every single day multiple times a day for this past week. I’ve started taking pictures every time and am emailing them to corporate. Last weekend it was closed however the one main tall thin man (worker) was inside with another girl watching home alone! All during business hours. What is the purpose of having an unlimited car wash and not being able to use it during business hours? I understand if the machine is broken or a person is working alone but it’s been multiple times I drive, sit in the parking lot and wait for them to remove the cones. I’ll watch the workers walk to getgo and McDonald’s and just joke around and take their time while I will count more than 20 cars come and drive away. No exaggeration either. I’ve tried calling multiple times and no responses. Highly recommend to stay away from this place. Will be cancelling the next time they are actually open. Photo is taken today at 1 pm.
