    My car had a thick layer of dirt and debris and needed a little more help than the basic wash. When I was at the vacuums, the owner came over and talked to me about my parking conditions at home and sent me through the wash again! With his expertise and choice in wash I was able to go home in a clean car!

    Purchased the $27 wash (most included/total package). The top roller didn't come down to touch the car, the left one was spinning but missing important rows of cleaning strips. The next one on left wasnt spinning at all. Came out wet but not clean. So many bugs. No competition in town, so I guess there isn't the drive to have top notch service or maintain equipment. We will not return to this sad sad sad location.

    I have a membership, and the Athens location is the worst. I use the other surrounding locations if at all possible. Ran my truck through 3 times today and still had dirt on hood and bugs on windshield. Almost every time I go through some brushes are not working and side spray of the soap was not working as well. Very dissapointing.

    James is very humble, kind, and hard-working man. I particularly appreciate how well he scrubs the front and back of my vehicle. I travel 80 miles daily and my car has many bugs in the front. Whenever James cleans the front of my car, he removes all the grease left by the insects.
