Never seen a car wash with no towels what are we supposed to dry our cars with ? there vacuum sucks no air neither like a regular normal car wash. This wash right here should be 2$ I rather wash my car at the house with waterholes. The entrance and exiting is so unprofessional. The whole car wash is unprofessional I will give you guys negative 0 star.

I have membership here, so I can get quick car washes. I hardly go but when I do go I been noticing the scratches on my car since I start going to this place. I also notice soaps and not fully rinsed with water. I usually don't make it big deal when I go. But today I was very frustrated, my car got stuck at the end of conveyor belt, I was very nervous the car behind me would hit me. I went to more then one employee but was send to talk to the person in the red polo and bring up about the issue and also show them the soap inside the tail light and the broken tail light. The guy in the red

Very helpful staff. Good value for the money. Completely automatic car wash. After the wash, there are a generous amount of really powerful vacuums available. The vacuums are included in the price of the carwashes, so you don't have to keep on dropping in tokens or swiping your card. Carwashes start at $7.

I paid for the $8 deluxe wash. Pulled in but the light that says where to stop didn't work so spent 5 min going back and forth trying to figure where the sweet spot was located. Came out of wash and went inside to get help. Attendant came out and assisted.
Wash started, went back and forth three times with water then soap then water.
The machine has now stopped over the car and is just dripping. It has been 10 minutes of just dripping. I don't want to leave it sitting in here but also not interested in going through the process of going inside to get the one person working here to come

I wanted to love this place because if its convenience to all my go to grocery shopping places but this is the second time I have had an issue with a scratch on the top of my trunk. I don't know if the mop things they use have rough edges or what but it is clearly a swooshing motion that left the scratches in my black paint.
Also, today my car got stuck at the end of the conveyor belt and unfortunately I could not get it in drive soon enough before the other car behind me got pushed into my bumper, leaving two small impressions in the bumper of my 2020 BMW. I take ownership of my operator

Was In the area so figured I’d stop by. Wash was mediocre. Super spotty after and no towels ($1 per towel extra). Got the $12 wash and $2 wax won’t think there was any thing special or different from the $5 wash. 1 star for friendly staff and 1 star for vacuums (no air blower though). Would only go back for cheap wash and to use vacuums didn’t even get the dirt off from wheels

Ok I used to love this place. So today I diced to go early to wash my cars so I got there around 7:40 am wash my car vacuum and everything went back home switch cars and came back. I did the wash then started to vacuum my car and when I lean over I got a really strong smell of bleach. Don't get me wrong I know we have to be really careful with COVID but one thing is wipe down the vacuum with bleach and other to soak the hose in bleach. So I put it back really fast I look at my leggings and yes I got bleach all over then (if you're a woman will understand the feeling) so I call and employee

Is there a law saying you can’t be nice to paying customer.
Out of nowhere after spending 5 minutes vacuuming I decided to dry off the left over but no
“You can only be here 10 minutes only!” No detailing.
Me : of your machine does a better job at drying I wouldn’t have to. I’m just drying my car. It’s a car wash!?

I love this place, a little cheesy and all but a fair wash for my dollars. My machines come out cleaner and I like their vacuums. I always tip the tire shiner guy and try to take the dangerous objects out of my bed that might fly around under pressure. Really, I think the Powys Costco car wash is slightly better and cheaper, just a long haul for me.

Stopped by to have my car washed just enough for the pearl blue to show. The place was close enough to me and I wanted to try it out as my regular car wash gets packed all the time.
- Service -
The team was friendly. Barely much interaction with the workers there except when choosing your wash and they directing your car. They also provide vacuums after the wash. I did have a few complaints:
1) No towels are provided for the customer to dry excess water or door jambs (pretty disappointed in this).
2) The tire shine guys did a half decent job, leaving a few globs of paste on my rims basically

I went to Pony Express Car Wash expecting a lack luster car wash, boy was I disappointed. Firstly, the price is very affordable even with extra add-ons. Secondly, the attendant placed a plastic protector/sleeve on my rear window wiper. That sold me, most places don't even bother to tie it down!
The attendant was very nice and helpful and paid extra attention to some spots on my car that were very stubborn. I pulled into the stall and a worker came over and wiped down my side mirrors and back window which I appreciated.
When you pull-up and the line may appear to be long, don't fret
