Not impressed. I got the top of the line wash and the car was not washed very well at all. Its quick and convenient, the compressed air and vacuum is fantastic, but i expected a bit more from their automated washing gizmos.

If you don’t like getting out of your car and prefer to vacuum yourself, this is the place. Even with a long line, it moves quick. After you drive through the wash, there are self-service vacuum spots—almost always availability with otherwise minimal waiting. I dig.

I may have to re-evaluate my unlimited wash purchase. The tire shine application on silver package seems lacking in the two locations Ive been. The tire shine is the finishing touch on the entire car wash.

This is a really great car wash. There was a big line, and we were limited on time, but the line moved quickly and we were fine! Easy in and out process with the vacuums after, works out perfect!!

I paid for the gold wash and had to clean the dirt of my car after it had been washed. I also got a free car wash that expires in 3 days what is the point of that. I am posting photos of the dirt still on my car

I got a free wash here and it was great. What a bargain. I would definitely come back. The vacuumes suck hard in a good way.

This drive-through car wash does well with black paint. The staff is professional and show a strong work ethic with the cleanliness of this place. My car has been through this wash 40+ times.

They are wonderful. My car is always shined and super clean after I bring it here. I have two dogs too and the inside of my car is nasty. So this place is a lifesaver.For those of you that have left bad reviews about this place after leaving stuff in your car - shame on you! I highly recommend it!!!!!

Nice car wash, but they don’t wash archs - that’s why you come home dirty from wheels.

Greatest car wash in town.

Review №24

I used to really like this car wash until it started going downhill. Simple things like maintaining the machines through the car wash, you dont even have to look closely to see the grime start building up. Theres this middle-aged woman who is up front has a very short temper and is very brazen with the guests.

Review №25

I really like this car wash. The car wash itself does a good job, especially for a drive thru. But my favorite part is being able to use their blowers to get off any excess water then use the vaccums to get my interior. I used to have the monthly subscription and loved it. But I live a bit further now, and just purchase a single wash when Im in town and have time.

I used to love this place. Ive been a customer for years. But last time I went, the thing that pulls your car along, BROKE the valve stem off my tire. I drove in fine, and drove out with a completely flat tire. I had to change to the spare in the vaccum area, and drive to Discount Tire and have it repaired for $83. I dont mind any of that. Accidents happen.But I saved receipts, filled out an incident report, wasted my time calling the manager, and they refused to pay for the damage their car wash caused. They offered me some free car washes, but Im moving soon so thats pointless. If your business DAMAGES MY VEHICLE, I expect a reputable business would pay for the repairs. In this case an extremely modest $83. Instead I spent 4 hours and $90 total for a car wash.Judge a business by how they behave when something - goes wrong. In this case they failed horribly. I HOPE THEY DONT DAMAGE YOUR CAR.

Awesome place to get your car washed! In line for my second time as I await my pizza pick-up. Convenient, fast and great friendly people. I highly recommend it anytime you just want you car to look and feel great! So glad I found you!

Review №31

Ok wash. Paid for the Gold, and it still didn’t get the rear cleaned well, and only got a couple swipes at the wheels. I had to rewash the vehicle at home to make the entire vehicle uniform.

Review №35

Used to love coming here, until I left and my rim was scratched from the belt you pull your car into. The guy directing me in offered no assistance to adjust my car as I pulled in so it did not line up properly. Will be cancelling my membership and going elsewhere.

Drove in from Colorado through snow only to add Utah mud during the trip. Paid for the deluxe and it knocked four states worth of crud off the truck, was overly impressed.Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Will always be my go-to when Im in town.

It is a great place to wash the car. The price is very affordable and the staff is friendly and approachable.

Review №42

Scratched the whole side of my car so I brought it to the staff’s attention. His response was our machine “scratches cars differently.” Apparently they don’t take responsibility for the damages caused, even when you point it out to them right away. There’s something wrong with this place, stay away unless you don’t care about your car.

Its fast. Its cheap. They give you those wet napkins to wipe your hands after you vacuum your car of all of your French fries

Review №51

Some people highly rate this place. I dont.If you want fast water spray off (about 3 min) of your car for $10 this is the place for you.Personally, I think it is overpriced.For $20 you can get an actual car wash with about 30 min of labor involved. Like vacuuming, cleaning interior, wheel dressing, actually drying your car off.

Review №52

The wash is not that great. A lot of spots are not even cleaned.

This car wash was anything but fast. Expect to wait a while for an open vacuum. The wash leaves a lot of spots on the car too

Big difference when you get then best wash from the lowest wash. Although I wish my truck was dried 100%

Review №55

Great wash and you can vacuum out your car with the purchase of a car wash. They have several different tiers of carwahes you can buy by the wash or you can purchase a monthly pass.

Review №56

As far as express car washes go this one is pretty good. They seem to do a pretty good job of maintaining the equipment and keeping the grounds clean. The final stage of the car wash is giant cloth rollers that wipe the car dry. Sometimes they work great other times they can streak the car. The staff is always available to help.

5 stars for the free vacuums! Drive through wash is quick, efficient and standard.

My antenna broke, and the brushed scratched top of hood. Now it’s ending up to be very expensive car wash

Very good place to get your car washed.

Review №60

This place is similiar to others that bear the same name but because of its location its more expensive. The car wash is completely automated and it is very fast which is a good convenience. Free vacuum stalls are provided for everyone who buys a wash. Its not as good as a hand wash but for $10 its hard to beat the convenience.

Just about 1/2 of the cleaning brushes didnt even touch the car. There was still so much dirt on it after going through.

I got my car wash for free by signing up for it on the website. Im very happy with my wash, no scratches were seen, and I like the vacuuming station at the end. Its super good after a day out at the beach.

Review №66

Most painless car wash ever, thorough, quick, and inexpensive! This is by far the best car wash Ive ever been to, in and out very quick, and the many vacuuming stations allow for very thorough vacuuming due to the high powered vacuums (watch out for socks in your car ;)).

Grest place, does great job and cost effective.

Review №68

This place is good for a quick car wash and vacuum. my car is a small coupe so the wash and dry is not as effective for it. I find myself having to spend a lot of time drying my car off and or spot cleaning the windows. so I mostly use this place for a car rinse...and to vacuum the sand out after a beach day.

Review №72

After Beacon Bay closed down I need to find a replacement car wash place. This is a machine car wash. You drive up to the attendant, choose which car wash you would like, most expensive is $12. Pay them, then they direct you to the car wash itself where another attendant directs you. Then you sit back and relax while the machine does its job. takes less than 5 minutes and then after wards you can use their vacuum cleaners free of charge for up to 5 minutes. Well worth the money and the people are so nice!! Will be going back!!

Review №73

This is quantifiably the WORST CAR WASH in the world. I paid for a premium wash and it didn’t even take ordinary dirt off the windshield, (maybe because the forward roller brush didn’t even touch the hood, let alone the windshield). When I asked for a second wash or a refund, I was told no to either. This place SUCKS! Bad wash. Bad value proposition. Bad service. Avoid at all costs.

Outstanding… Super clean! Felt I was detailing my own car. I am a Lyft driver, and the appearance of my car means everything.

Great value. No better way to vacuum your car. Air hoses to blow out the water around mirrors and doors.

Great deal on monthly car washes. Starting monthly price is 19.99 for either unlimited car washes for 1 car or the shared plan (2 vehicles) for 4 car washes per month. Not mad at it.

Decent wash, vaccuums could be better, but I do like the mini detail blower. Gets very crowded here, sometime you have to wait for a vacuum stall.

Review №81

Makes the whole car washing experience a GREAT EXPERIENCE! Most vacuums at any car wash clean at a mid-grade level, these vacuums at 5 STAR level!

Review №82

Quick simple and effective. Just remember you are going through a drive through wash and it doesnt get some of the dirt off that a hand wash would remove.

Review №83

$20 per month unlimited car washes (well, one per day) is absolutely unbeatable. I drive for Uber, so its awesome for me.

There was still plenty of suds on the end of my Subaru Forrester at the end of the wash. The vacumes I used had great power and the floor mat clips made cleaning my foot mats easy.

How all car washes should be. I got sick of pieces of my interior breaking or getting scratched since the detailers at hand car washes are pressured to hurry all the time. This place makes the car wash very fast while providing great vacuuming and drying stations.
