- AGArthur Garcia1 day ago5.0I stopped by and had an excellent experience thanks to Jay. He helped me get set up with a car wash membership at a really great price. Jay was incredibly knowledgeable about the different options and took the time to answer my questions. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole process easy. Highly recommend asking for him if you stop by!
- MRMalia Robinson2 days ago4.0Auto scanner for members needs to be fixed. Most of the time the soap spray isn't always full so I need to go thru twice. Vacuums work, towels, and spray bottles always stocked. Great over all.
- RRR2 days ago1.0The vacuums are very weak or straight up don’t work, the glass cleaner left marks all over my windows, and they stopped offering free air fresheners. The kiosk to pay for a wash was also broken so they had to manually ring me up for a wash, which took way too long. The price for a wash keeps increasing while everything in this dump gets worse. Not worth the money.
- PRPaige Race3 days ago5.0Easiest & fastest car wash experience ever. They have everything you need and John at the front was the best first impression of this place. Thanks john & staff for caring and taking pride in your work! Five stars.
- MAMichael AntoineDec 30, 20251.0Was signed up for monthly payments by the guy who had to work the gate because their payment system did not seem to be working. Had to download their app to cancel the membership. Car wash did not completely clean the car.
