It was very late at night, and we were in desperate need of a car wash. We are very happy to have stumbled upon this place. They offer 24 hour self service, and to our surprise they took credit/debit (which has been a feature that’s hard to find at a lot of self washes we’ve visited in the past). They have many different varieties of soap, and hand rags for purchase (extremely budget friendly at just a couple of quarters for whatever you fancy). We were thoroughly impressed by the nozzle pressure, and got a solid clean in no time. They also have vacuums for the interior of your car as well. And best yet, if you pull up and are simply not in the mood to get out of your car, they have a self operating automatic wash. Great place. We highly recommend.

Best emission place around. The gentleman running the test was exceptionally helpful and took the time to answer all my questions. Thanks to his service they have a customer for life.

The guy who helped me out, I think his name was mike - mark. Anyway he was so helpful, I almost couldnt believe I was at the same location. Mark, that was his name. Anyway he answered all my questions re: my test, plus afterwards I got a car wash.Ive been 2 this particular location before, I believe she was a woman ( no offense) that was there was just rude, seemed as if I was bothering her. Sorry dear, but your here 2 do a job....not be playing games or texting whatever. Made me feel like I was a bother. Her phone seemed 2 be more important then the customers. I finally got pi***d and left. I decided 2 give it one more try & this guy was awesome any concerns or questions I had, he was right there to explain everything to me. If not for this employee, I wouldve never come back. Hes a keeper, shes only there 4 a pay check and has absolutely no customer service.

Ive been coming here for years and never had a problem with the equipment. I like coming here cause its on a busy street so I dont have worry about sketchy people coming up on me. The emission test person is usually there during the day. At night it has enough light. I like that I can use my card there. Today the foam brush was super bubbly. 😁

Overall, a great service. Very friendly, responsive and a job well-done. I had the interior of my car detailed and he did a great job in under 45 minutes. He called as soon as he was finished. I will definitely return.

Review №13

The only issue I had was with the scrub brushes. Not much of a foam brush, just sudsy water. The brushes are worn out and could use a replacement. Overall its a decent place. It is a self service car wash after all.

A decent carwash. Typical experience. That being said, when I used the scent machine to add pine scent to the car it came out smelling like a mix of baby powder, pine, and some other random scent.

Their automated wash does a very good job, and you have a choice of several levels of wash depending upon what do you want paint protectant and such.

Drive thru car wash sprays the car but definitely doesnt get it clean. Price range from $8-$13 for drive thru

Always busy. But thats not a bad thing. Kind of hard to get into though. You can only enter from one way driving by.

Reasonably priced utility shop vac at the self-serve manual car wash. 4 minutes for $1. Quarters only. Change machine issues quarters for $1 bill or $5 bill or $10 bill or $20 bill. Not able to pay with debit cards. Cash only. Reliably clean. No wait for service. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

The emissions test was a great value. They were even able to renew my vehicle registration. On top of that, the gentleman was extremely friendly and kind. I will drive out of my way to give these guys money!

No free car wash at all, just a scam!!!No $5 discount, no free car wash, nothing. They told you that you go for a wash and will have the discount later but nothing really works.BTW, the car wash is pretty bad and way worse than at Mister.

It could take up to eight minutes a wash depending on your selections, but good job on the automatic wash. Lowest cost is $8 and the longest wash is $13. Mastercard and Visa is available.

I only go to touchless washes so this one is great. The washes with the brushes beat up your paint over time.

Rip off! Machine doesnt work and no attendant there to help.. Tried to wash my car and the washer stopped after delving the soap. Had to drive to another car wash. Of course there was no way to get a refund. I guess theyve come up with way to increase their income. Great place to avoid!

This is the coolest car wash I have been to in a long time. The price is reasonable, one area washes your car for you and waxes. Or you alcan do it yourself. Vacs, air, soap, everything. And an area to dry and polish at your leisure.

The credit card machines do not work, and one of the bill changers eats your money.The pressure wand took probably close to 15 seconds to build up pressure to start.Wont be coming back here again.

Dont have change? They can turn that $20 into a bunch of coins for you. Hand washing is so much fun and its not in a hard spot to get to. The scrubber and spray nozzle worked great and its so easy to use.

Best self car wash Ive ever been to and the cleanest! They accept credit cards so you dont have to go in with a bunch of ones and quarters.

Review №76

The vacuum did not work, I tried to flag down the guy working at the emissions hut and he just sort of waved me off. Maybe he was on break or something? The place was really crowded and I couldn’t get to another vacuum, so I took off.There is another of these on Montgomery and Tramway that I usually go to and I’ve never had any issues with.

Review №77

Son had a blast washing the car, 3-star rating is because first 2 stalls we tried to use wouldnt work right and none of the stalls would accept credit card as payment even though it has card reader and is advertised that it takes card. Had to go to atm and use cash, now I have a whole bunch of quarters.

I think Ive been going here for over a decade and never a bad experience. Modern equipment, good wash/wax products and always clean. The emission check station has been hit and miss in terms of service, but the car wash is excellent.

High pressure and low cost. Actually cleans your vehicle. It even washed off thick baked on, dirt road mud. Arguably the best in my opinion.
