    Horrible customer service. Every time I come here there are coworkers standing in the corner smoking marijuana and don’t seem to care there are customers on the lot that smell it. There has also been times where one coworker was outside screaming on the phone cussing someone out. Extremely unprofessional.

    Doesn’t even open on time. Doesn’t clean car fully and messes up mirrors every time. DO NOT RECOMMEND

    Poor quality wash job. Attendant at the beginning made little to no effort with the pressure washer on the drivers side only. No attention to the passenger side at all. After going through the $18 wash, the passenger side clearly needed more attention. The girls working inside said no rewash corporate policy and sorry nothing they could do and handed me a card to a phone number in the Midwest somewhere. Vacuum had little to no suction, no towels to wipe down. Bugs still all over the front bumper and headlights. Last time I waste money at Zips.

    I want to give recognition to the young lady Ms.Mckenzie! Even though she was working completely by herself, she kept everything running so smoothly and with such a positive attitude. She was literally running back and forth helping everyone, and she still managed to greet every customer with a smile. Her energy, hard work, and friendliness really stood out and made the whole experience so much better. Even with someone yelling at her during my visit she still managed to keep a positive attitude and handled the situation perfectly. McKenzie truly went above and beyond, and she absolutely deserves recognition. Amazing job, I will be back!!

    I spent $24. Front to rear the top was not clean. McKenzie said no rewashes, here's a card. Called and DENIED refund. "No guarantee wash will clean your car" AVOID. They take your money with zero service. Too bad, so sad for you.
