    Tony and Stephen were absolutely amazing. They were so nice. I wanted to get my daughter a car wash membership for Christmas because she has to park her car under a tree and they gave me a gift card and a air freshener to put in her stocking to show she has one rather than just saying hey you have a membership. They also took the extra time to pre-scrub her car because it was covered from the birds. Thanks so much Stephen and Tony y’all are awesome

    The Jets damaged my side view mirror. I reported it and talked to management at the location and another via the phone and email. They took no accountability for the damage and said they wouldn't. They never asked for pictures or anything. Also, the License plate reader never works if you signed up at a different location. My membership will be ending today.
