Zero issues to report, but then I am a pro at the self serve car wash. No line on a Monday before the 4th of July. I broke out a $10 and coached my little man who will inherit the CamperVan one day: 1.) Time goes quick little mate. So make sure you're set up for success, before you drop in your coin. Test that the brush will reach all the way around your vehicle. We had to back out about 2 feet and squeeze a bit closer to the wall, and be mindful that the hose will snag the roof rack. Set up the step ladder, get a bucket filled with water. Raise wipers. 2.) $3 to start, use the brush. Top to bottom. Gravity is your friend. Little man, you follow behind with a mop glove getting the low sides. If the glove hits the ground, grab a clean one. 3.) Keep scrubbing after your 3 minutes are up. Use the bucket water diluting the suds, work from cleanest to dirtiest. Hit wheels last. Return wipers. 4.) Set to rinse, grab pressure gun. Set step ladder. Little man drops in four coins and is dazed by the force of the gun. We work fast, top to bottom again, using the pressure to scour off the brake dust. We wheel out of the way as a line has now formed. And get ready to dry. I put little man on the roof and now others have recruited him. Hilariously he earns six bucks, and teaches people how to say their favorite color in mandarin.

Decent car wash place. Their foam brushes are too soft to get a really deep scrub for tough dried-on spots. Also, the suction of their vacuums could be better. I couldn't fit the vacuum head in the space between my seat and the door so that is still dirty. Unless you are a perfectionist, this is overall, a good spot though! 👍🏾

Decent coin operated car wash. Usually a line here, as there are only four bays and a lot of people take their time. Since I'm only ever rinsing off my bike I'm usually in and out pretty quickly.
