Extremely Disappointing Experience. Vehicle Damage, Denied Claim, & Lack of Accountability!
I had been a Tommy’s Express customer for over 4 years, but this experience has changed my opinion of the company completely.
I recently bought a 2024 Honda Accord. After three visits to Tommy’s Express, I noticed new damage and marks on all four wheels. At first, I didn’t realize the damage was happening at the car wash. However, after my third visit, I spotted another mark and brought the issue to the manager, James.
I explained that I had noticed new marks after each visit and filed a claim. More than a week later, I was told my claim was denied because their video footage supposedly showed the wheels were already damaged before I entered the car wash.
I asked to see the footage myself, but I was not given the chance to review the evidence used to deny my claim. I find that extremely disappointing. I understand that not every claim can be approved, but customers deserve a fair and clear explanation when a company denies responsibility for vehicle damage.
Based on the pattern of damage appearing after multiple visits, I strongly believe something related to the car wash tracks, conveyor, guide rails, or other equipment scraped my wheels. While I did not see the equipment make contact, I know the condition of my vehicle and what I observed after each visit.
What bothers me most is not just the damage itself but the lack of accountability and transparency in how my claim was handled. After being a customer for more than four years, I expected my concerns to be taken seriously and investigated fairly.
As a result, I have canceled my membership and will not be returning.
I strongly encourage anyone using this car wash to take photos of their vehicle and wheels before every visit and check them carefully afterward. Unfortunately, I learned that lesson the hard way.
This has been a very disappointing experience, especially after being a longtime customer. I cannot recommend Tommy’s Express based on how it damaged my vehicle and how they handled this situation.
