    Worst Take-5 I’ve been to. Vacuums don’t have pressure, while some didn’t work at all! The vacuum are is a bad design! It was made like a gas station. Once you’re in, if you are done, you can leave until someone moves there car. There is no designated lane for the vehicles to enter and exit, you’re just stuck. And lastly, I get some locations don’t have the nice mat machine. Employee directed me to someone who had a pressure washer to get the gunk off the mats. Guess what, guy says it’s not working. Very surprised it’s still in business. You’re better off going to the gas station car wash! 🤦🏽‍♂️

    I ask that you do some maintenance on your system. As the rollers came off yesterday and I had to come back today. The lady with red hair was not so attentive, but the men washing and vacuuming on the other side were and helped me today so I can get the car wash I paid for. Please order new parts and fix this matter. Have a nice weekend.
