This is a really good car wash, the attendants are always so nice and respectful. My car stays extra clean, I get the Gold wash every time. I will say though, I decided to bring my kids with me today, and my kids kept sneezing and I wasn’t sure if it was allergies or something else, but when I noticed one of the employees smoking on the clock, I knew it was probably the reason why my child was sneezing. I’m not sure if it’s part of their break, but it is a bit unprofessional. My kids have bad allergies to weed and substances like that. Other than that, I recommend the wash itself.

Kevin took great care of me today! My AAA discount wasn’t working in their system. And he gave me two $3 coupons. He also helped dry off the hood of my car. And applied more tire shining spray. I love this place because of the customer service, it’s not too busy which makes it easier for me to access vacuums. Also my favorite part is the mat cleaner machine!! Washes and dries. :). See ya next time. :)
