I would like to give them three stars, but they charge enough that your car ought to come out of the car wash 99.9% dry but it doesn't. I paid extra for the heated dry but the car comes out I would say 85% dry with lots of water spots all over the car, so you really have to dry the car by hand yourself! This is a pet peeve of mine and I can tell you there are much better automatic car washes for the money than this place.
I came to this car wash at 9.26 on September 6 2025. I asked the guy with the hose to spray the front grill and the bumper but he had such a bad attitude he just started spraying the wall . Don't recommend this car wash to anyone 🙄
Good service. The owner is a veteran, which is important to me. On the way to work. I'm here every day.
Car wash has recently become rough/they are not responsible for damages to your car.. I’m giving 4 stars because My husband and I came here for years without any issues. besides the occasional long line(which wasn’t their fault), it got the job done well, it’s in a convenient location, The employees are all very friendly, and they have free vacuums you can use after the wash. However, I do have to warn you that recently the car wash seems to be a little bit more rough on our cars than it used to be. (it’s folded my mirrors in a couple times, and at first I assumed it was user error on my part, maybe that I was over too far) but the last time I went through it snapped my mirror out pretty far and there was a very loud cracking sound, I thought it had broken it it off.. They also have a sign (before you enter the car wash, but after you pay) that they are not responsible for any potential damage to your car while using the car wash. Hopefully they’re able to fix whatever issue is going on that has made the car wash so rough.
This car wash is easy to find and to get my car washed automated machines to pay with either cash or credit and easy to get to the band to get the car washed. There is someone at the very beginning to guide you, and the machine does wash the car nicely. The vacuum is free for use after your car wash and there are plenty of spots to use any of the free vacuums.
