- JKJoanne KaczmarekNov 15, 20255.0Very helpful, clean, smooth process. Will be going there for my next car wash.
- JHJennifer HuderNov 4, 20255.0WOW! Clean car, easy wash, fair price AND nice self-serve vacs and cleaning cloths/spray. Very nice staff- no hassle coming in-no big sales pitch- just an offer if interested. I’ll be back again!
- AWAngie WrightOct 29, 20253.0The car wash itself was fine. But the person who came to "sell" me a car was was rude. And the funny thing is if the cone hadn't kept me from getting close enough to insert my card and pay for the wash I wanted without having that first interaction, this would probably have been a 5 star review and I'd be back, but I will not come back to this car wash when there's one on every corner here. Customer service matters.
