- DHDawn HarnishDec 30, 20255.0This location is awesome! The friendliest staff, supplies are always full to clean your car after the wash and plenty of vacuum stalls!
- PHPeighten HostranderDec 22, 20255.0Tony 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
- BTBrandon and TeeDec 15, 20251.0The 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.
