I purchased the deluxe, soft touch wash with “bug buster” included. No bugs were busted here. The dirt is gone, but there are still bugs all over the front bumper, hood, and windshield. Going back to washing it in the driveway.

Excellent car was 13$ for a full service wash. Equipment always in working order. Clean drying area and vacuum really suck well..😂

Had a lot of bugs on the front and windshield. New I needed a system with scrubbing brushes. They call it soft touch. The brushes did a good job. Didnt get them 100% off but pretty close. Sure beats hand scrubbing.

I used to really like this place and have gone several times a year since it has opened. Lately I have been disappointed. I dont get a good wash on my car (still dirt, bugs, rear windshield wipes fluid spots) (I drive a rav4) yesterday, I paid for the most expensive one which is $13 and is supposed to include a tire shine towards the end, and it never came out of the machine and the machine never lit up.

The most pointless car wash in the Cedar Valley. People entering right behind you with the soap and water flying everywhere while you are trying to dry off. My car was soaking wet when I left because they continue to douse you with water while it is being dried off. I will never return to this place. Kwik Star might be a drive, but at least my vehicle would be clean and dry

Quick and easy car wash. Usually never a line. One of the few places we go that actually gets our vehicles clean.

Good car wash but not good vacuums. Tried both sides and both have no suction 2$ wasted.

The car wash didn’t even dry my car, Waste of money for a car wash.

Review №22

Good stuff! 13 bucks for their top o the line! Actually cleans your car too, all of it anyways. Most auto washes can never clean the back part of my SUV, where the trunk meets the bumper where it makes a little shelf, this did! And cleans the snow out of the wheels pretty well. Didnt seem like much of an undercarriage wash though? That could be better maybe?

Review №28

First time here, compared to the other drive through car wash ive been to, this place is way better. Car wasnt overly dirty but it was after the winter months, and it did a decent job, also the colorful cycle was super pretty!!! Will totally go here again, id rather pay 10 dollars then clean it manually.

Review №29

Put four quarters in one of the $1 vacuums and nothing happened. The quarters didnt pop out the bottom either. Of course those were my only four quarters so I just wasted my time and money.If you want to vacuum here make sure you have extra quarters to feed the machine or to switch machines when one eats them.Edit: Gave this place another go. They have a detail vacuum, which is nice. That said, I needed to exchange a couple dollar bills for quarters. And of course their only change machine isnt working. Why is there only one? If its not working that means anyone without quarters ready cant even use a part of your business.Another waste of my time.

Paid $13 for a wash and it didnt take one bug off my vehicle! There was no no undercarriage wash and very minimal amount of soap. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Review №33

Paid for a deluxe wash and didnt get it. No undercarriage wash that I could detect, no spot free rinse, no dryer. Wheels look like exactly the same as when I arrived and there is still road dirt along the bottom of my vehicle. and there is still stuff only lights that seemed to be functioning were the drive forward slowly and stop (Bay 1). No attendant seemed to be present.

Review №34

Car looks good after the wash. I paid for the top wash ($13). The light for undercarriage blaster came on, but was definitely NOT spraying the undercarriage. On top of that, they charge you another $1 to use the vaccuum for only 4 minutes. Was able to thoroughly vaccuum about half my car. Ill go down to the full service wash where the employees vaccuum for you next time.

Review №35

If I wait too long to clean my car (really covered in film) then this car wash will not get it all the way clean. I did use the soft touch side this time and it did about a 90% job instead of the touchless side which usually does a 70 to 80% job. The most expensive wash is 13 bucks both sides.

Not powerful enough to get snow that I cant blow off with my mouth. And not hot enough to melt it, and in the summer it left dirt on my tailgate, but works ok, but not for the price.

Paid for the most expensive soft touch wash. The wash ran for about one minute and then it was done. My car was still as dirty as when it went in. Not happy and probably wont go back.

Pretty standard self serve, automatic car wash.

Review №47

If your car is relatively clean already it does fine. If your car is dirty, well it still is going to be dirty if you go thru the touchless wash. The $5 wash by my house does about the same as their $12 wash.

Does a pretty decent job washing the car in the touchless bays. A little on the pricey side, but its close to where I live, so that is where I usually go.

I only come to this car wash to avoid congestion at other automatic car washes. I paid $13 for the deluxe and the back windshield and back of car did not get cleaned.

Decent prices, gets your vehicle clean, but the sound/video when you try to select a wash and pay is *really* annoying, and unskippable.

Washed my van and it left soap all over the top. The soap drained down the sides and left streaks all over the windows! I had to go somewhere else and pay to wash again! Ridiculous!
