My car was somehow dirtier after getting my car washed here. I also paid $21 for the underside and they didn’t spray it. Such a bad quality service that it seems like a front for something

staff was awesome, but my car was still really dirty after the wash. vacuums were also before the wash, and were full when i got there, so i didn’t get to use them.

I'm used to going to Allston street carwash but they recently did a horrible job on my $125 car wash. But the job was similar here, at least it was only $26. The car was maybe even washed better here. However, the overall job was terrible. The tire shine didn't cover my whole tire and it just looks worse. It's clear that the machine just hit like 1/4 of each tire. So they all just have a shiny spot on them, which is more off-putting than maybe just not using it. The attached images are a day afterwards. This would maybe be a 3 star but then I went to the vacuum and the bay wasn't working. After spending some time going over the car for spots and such, there were many, I just went to vacuum last, it didn't work.. didn't take my card... So really disappointed but I will try them again. I would've def got a detail and membership... But it was just not up to par. I'll be sure to update if my experience gets better.

They have several locations which makes this a very convenient car wash to sign up for. This location is one of the newer ones, but it is also at the corner of a busy intersection. That's the reason why it has a right turn exit only, which is away from the intersection, but the majority of customers turn left instead, towards the intersection where only about 3 cars can fit in front of the traffic light. This builds up even more traffic, and causes the tunnel to need to shut down temporarily, slowing things down even further. When it is busy like this, it takes about 10 minutes from the entrance to get through the car wash just once. There are two lanes that merged into a single lane after payment. When it is busy, sometimes the washes get mixed up, and you don't get what you pay for. I often end up with an express wash or other wash that is cheaper than what I actually paid for and need to ask them to correct it. Most of the time, they do. A couple of times, the wash got messed up again by the time I got through again, but I've never had them give me an issue about it. The car wash lasts about a minute. The car wash cleans the car thoroughly most of the time. Sometimes, I need to go through a second time if there is stubborn buildup, or I may need to wipe off stains by hand before going through again. The cleaning cloths and jets only wash from the top, front, and sides. Nothing appears to wash from the back. This means if your vehicle has any spaces that block cleaning from the front, top, or sides, it will not be as clean, such as the rear side of the car. The air dry at the end of the wash lasts about 10 seconds and it is not enough to blow away all the water. I always leave with drops on the mirrors, sides, and rear of my vehicle. If these are wiped off or blown off from driving, they turn into white stains as they dry. They do however provide drop clothes, which are available most of the time. Additionally, there are litter bags and complementary snack sized pretzels when available. There are six vacuum spaces, which are free for members and work well enough, except they can also get crowded since there is no other space to wipe off your car. Overall, acceptable, and understandable given limited space in the city.
