It’s a pretty decent place to wash and clean out your car. You pay for the wash in an automated tunnel - and then there are some easy to use parking bays with Free vacuums to finish the job on the inside. The vacuums are “on” 100% of the time, they’re quite strong and easy to use, and the parking is angled so you’re not hitting elbows with your neighbor - who is also trying to rearrange the contents of their car so they can vacuum every nick and cranny. Worth a try!

Great car wash, I splurged on the $20 wash, wax, tire clean, and all that jazz. You get a 48-hour rain check so if it rains you get your car washed again. You can use self vaccines which are extremely powerful and do the job! I recommend taking a towel to dry your car and mirrors off after.If it’s your first time and you buy the $20 wash, they give you a coupon for a free $20 wash!

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of clean from an automated drive through bay. Ive avoided tunnel car washes for years bc of the risk of micro scratches/damage to paint, which is why I typically hand wash my cars. In a pinch I wanted to give them a try, recommended by a friend who goes regularly and car always looks amazing. I paid $20 for the higher tier wash and was very happy with the results. Additionally I noticed no undue damage/scratches from the gentle brushes. I got a good look at one of the brushes in the tunnel, and the material they use seems to be devoid of picking up and holding on to dirt/debris.The shaded vacuum bays at the end are wonderful. It gives you an area to clean the interior and also wipe away any remaining water before the sun bakes the water spots in.5 stars for customer service as well - I was greeted by a super friendly guy who seemed to take a lot of pride in his business. He gave me some interior wipe cloths as a free bonus, so I was able to do a good interior clean at the end. 👍👍👍

You would think a drive through car wash would be great for distancing from people during a pandemic, but for some reason, today, there was a guy out at the DIY self-serve touch screen that wanted to talk to me from a foot away from my open window with no mask. I guess Ill make a sign for next time that says Back away ten feet or go get a mask. We arent out of the woods yet so we all need to behave accordingly. The wash itself is great. Consideration of others needs improvement.

My husband told me to try this place, so for $7.00, they had a very friendly guy at the pay station, a man scrubs down the front of the car and front windshield and then along the drivers side to back. It seemed like it washed 2 times and rinsed 2 times, the dryer is very powerful and at the end once you are out there are 2 guys to wipe down the whole outside of your car. They have free vacums and my husband noticed you can clean your mats for free now

It never super busy, a plus. The drying bays offer cover to let you detail before sun bakes the small amount of water beefs not blown off by the air dryer . I really like the car mat washer. I have rubber all weather ones and it cleans way better than a simple vacuum.. It is out of my way but I keep coming back.

Love this place! Easy in and easy out. Ive been going there since they opened and every single employee Ive encountered is helpful, polite and professional. They scrub the windshield and rear window before the car goes through the automated wash to ensure very clean windows. The floor mat cleaning machine is fun to use and I go home with a shiny clean car.

Very nice staff, prices are reasonable. Their wash doesnt quite get the door sills clean like most high pressure contactless washers do. Quick in and out though with a shamy at the end.

This is my favorite car wash! They give the car a wipe down on the way to the vacuums. Vacuums are strong and the car mat washer is a terrific extra touch.

They just broke the mirror off my vehicle. When I tried to speak with someone about it I was told that I am out of luck. Extremely unprofessional. Could not even offer to comp the wash! Offered no solution as to how I could get my vehicle fixed. I have 5 vehicles I was bringing here frequently. Never again!

This is a great place for your dirty vehicle to get clean, especially after snow and salt. They take BIG SUVs. Love working with small local businesses. They offer 24 hours weather refund on any wash, if it rains or snows you will get a free wash if you keep your receipt.

So much better than the competition in ABQ. They actually spray your car to start to get bugs off, then have people drying it afterwards. The vacuums are powerful. I will NEVER go back to Mr. Carwash again.

I love the service in the wash and especially the guy at the end that wipe your windows down. Only thing is I wish they had an air blower and the vacuum needs to be maintained better. A lot of them were broken or clogged

Car wash is so much better than any other car wash I have been to. My car comes out cleaner, vacuums have good suction & I appreciate the guys drying off the excess water at the end of the wash cycle.

It is bomb. Beacuse they wipe your ride and scrub as well super cool and worthy of tips. Also, they have a mat washer and they offer a rag if you forget like we always do. Highly reccomend, and we also got a membership which is discounted this month of Oct. 2020. Just drive up, they say and the gate will open once it recognizes your vehicle. Awesome sauce!!!

We went through their haunted tunnel tonight and it was fun! Everyone who worked there seemed very friendly. An employee that was dressed as a killer clown said that he would give us a free wash pass on our next visit, because he said something about how they watched a YouTube video that I filmed at another one of their locations. I kind of have mixed emotions about our experience, because I let my dad use my money to buy the $25 wash, but it seemed like the car wash only gave us the $12 or $15 wash. The machine ran out of receipt paper and I don’t know how to get the majority of my money back. Also, one of their Facebook posts said that they were going to give out free candy, but we didn’t get any candy.

I would frequent misters car wash because theyre all over the country. Had a monthly pass also. But was told about this place from a great friend. Been here twice and its worth every penny! I wish they had the pressure sprayers in the vacuum area like most car washes do but hopefully thats something to look forward to in the future.

Drove my SUV through the car wash and part of my running board was ripped off along with a grill from another vehicle behind me. I pulled to the side and spoke with the manager who was not only extremely unprofessional but he laughed about it and refused to give me any contact information for a corporate office or owner. My SUV has no after market parts on it at all and is all factory and is perfect condition except now this. He told me that if the vehicle was older than 5 years that they will not do anything about it even if it they are at fault which in this case it is there fault. Will be cancelling our monthly passes that I have on 5 of my vehicles as well as my other family members. This is completely unacceptable service!

Update: my second visit was much better.The car wash was not working after I paid. I waited for 15 minutes before an employee said a thing to me. I asked for a refund because I didnt not have time to wait for them to fix it. The punk kid told me his manager said no refunds and I could come back later in the day. I asked to speak to this so called manager but they never came out and I left after wasting another 10 minutes. I learned my lesson and will only use mister car wash from now on.

I have a lowered Mini truck that doesnt fit through most car washes. I went to champion and the owner came out so we could look and see if it was possible to run my truck through. He figured out a way to make it happen and BAM I got a sparkling clean truck. Thanks Champion Xpress! Real customer service still exists!

This car wash is awesome. Wayyyy better than Mister. The vacuumes are stronger, the person at the entry scrubs the grill and rear with a brush before entering the car wash. Then as you exit the person there actually wipes down the car properly, unlike mister. This place is exceptional for an express car wash. Definitely returning!

This car wash charged my account the day after i went in and confirmed that my account had been closed. Now they are refusing to issue me a refund. These practices are extremely unprofessional. On top of treating customers with disrespect the car wash itself is below average. A run through of the top tier wash doesnt even remove window markers. I will never use this car wash again and I world advise everyone to stay away from this one.
