Wash itself is good, the after needs improvement- no clean towels, no interior spray, pressured air was either off or broken, and trash was overflowing. All reasonably fixed and understandable if they were busy, but had three people working and they were mostly hanging in the office.

Doesn’t allow you to use cash and prompts you to only do the more expensive washes. After asking about the basic option (which i’ve used every other time) associate stated that his manager wouldn’t allow that option for the next couple of days.
