It's okay. Clean carwash. I would give it five stars if it did a better job at cleaning the rims/tires at the automatic station. Also, you have to pay for vac machine?.. no one really charges for that anymore. All of the other local car washes don't do that but this one does. I want to open the membership but for 4 minutes more I could just get the free vacuum.

I got a brand new suv and used the $12 wash my truck came out pretty clean just like the dealers do when giving you, your new truck. The dryer gets 4 starts because it let the water on it

SCAM. They say minimum charge for card is $2.50, but regardless of how much time you use, they charge $8 to your card. Been multiple times to make sure and yup, they charge minimum of $8. Check your card, they're scamming you too.

Prices range from $4 - $12 for the touch- less auto wash. Pretty decent job. You can use cash or credit card. There are 4 auto wash stalls and 5 hand wash stalls that are a bit less than the $4 auto wash. There are 6 vacuum cleaner stalls about a dollar for 3 minutes. I prefer this place over the ones that use the hanging "rag mop" which can be a bit more pricey.

Nice Place to wash car but charges your debit card $6 and only dispenses $4 in tokens then the car care vending machine ate another $2 in tokens and stopped working… and there’s no one to talk to no staff to help no number to call
UPDATE:I reached out to their email and they made it right. Thanks from 2 star to 5

Several touch less automatic car wash bays available, which seem to do a very good job of getting the dirt off vehicle. Would recommend. I just do my own towel dry and done.

This is my fifth time coming here.
The credit card machine never works. I decided to get change and instead of giving me regular quarters. They gave me tokens ??? So now I got 20 tokens to use here that’s not fair at all. Anyways there’s always garbage, beer bottles, glass on the floor. Never coming here again

It charged my card, but when I drove through the station to wash my car it didn't work. I was looking for any representative to help me out with this issue and there was no one. Even though it happened at none.

Love this car wash bc it has 3 different washes. Touchless, the regular cloth one & the main one which is self serve wash. 🙌 definitely recommend it!

The timer counts down faster than any other booth I've been to and then when you go from soap to rinse after a whole 3 minutes there still is soap coming out of the nozzle. Waste of my money because now I have to go to another car wash after blowing $4.00 here for a quick wash to get salt off. DONT GO HERE.

Touch less and whatever soap they use, always gets the bugs off my car. After reading other people's reviews,I can't help but think that there are a lot of dumb people. How many workers would people want to see at a self serve car wash? Vacuums work great, well lit and great price.

I went to wash my car today and while entering the non touch car wash, guied rail has scratched my car rim badly that it will have to be repainted. Do not go if you got nice wheels. Major problem and lost money $$$

Never been to this type of car wash in my life so have no idea. Went to find someone and it's a ghost town doesn't even look like anyone works here. The vacuums have no pressure whatsoever and ya no change machines just tokens! I won't be coming back that's for sure! Even the $3 car wash has better service and WORKERS!

Place sucks but if you need a quick 3$ wash it will clean it up. Bring a towel because mine looked like it wasn't dried at all lol. It's near the house for me so if I am in big need of a wash I will come back.

It's good to know there is a decent self car wash with automatic brushless wash close to my house.

This place has around 4-5 self wash stalls and a few brushless automatic wash stalls.

I tried the auto wash and thought it did a decent job at a fair price. I don't take my vehicles through car washes with brushes and it's hard to find brushless washes now.

I am happy with this car wash and plan to go back to try it again soon.

Bill receptacle on one of the Touch Free bays didnt work. Had to get out of line and wait in line again to try the next bay. Wash is serviceable but not the most thorough clean.

While it looks like a decent car wash, I got ripped off here. Went in, paid with a credit card for the automatic wash, and nothing happened. No wash occurred, no attendants on duty, I had to call my bank to put a stop payment and fraud alert on this place since the charge actually went through on my card.

Purchased the $18 for $9 deal on yelp and when I arrived to the business there was no way to enter the voucher code, there was no attendant present and nobody answers the phone provided to the business. I ended up emailing the business, and 24 hours later they replied :"Just fill out the form on our website that says redeem vouchers and we will mail it to you ( allow 2-3 weeks for delivery). "
Car wash experience: small and not well maintained touch less bays. Not recommended.

Location is great. Easy access. Very convenient. Excellent car wash bays. Good price. Been going here for over 10 years. The sprayers are in very good shape. They are powerful. The do-it-yourself are the ones I mostly use. I highly recommend this station.
Thank you for reading the review.

One of the best touchless car washes I've used around town. It is 100% perfect? No, it's not going to get every little spot in every nook & cranny outside your vehicle, but no automatic car wash can do that.

Their customer service, via email, is prompt and helpful. I had emailed them about some gift certificates I ordered & they helped me out right away & even gave me a free wash for a miscommunication (that was not their fault at all).

I got the $8 "ultimate" wash (I had a certificate for it), and when I pulled away, there was still a layer of dirt on the sides/doors of my car. My car wasn't even that dirty.
I still have four more certificates but I'm not sure I'll be using them.

They get an extra star for good service (the employee came out to help me pull into the stall) and I like that they have high-powered dryers. But it's kind of all pointless if it doesn't clean my car.
