Important Info: Self serve means you do the work. Tokens Required. Machine turns quarters, $1, $5, $10 bills into tokens. 1 token = $0.50. Machine next to token machine offers Blue Towels (I needed 3 to fully wipe down my Honda) and I believe interior wipes as well. Washing Options: Water pressure is great! Foam brush, (that may have scratched my car..written in experience following) Rinse option, Wax Option, and one other I cannot remember. Did not use vacuums at this time. My experience: Went on a Saturday morning. I would give 5 stars but the machine I used are some of my tokens...sorta. I spent at least 8 minutes using my key to unjam my tokens from the return slot. Bummer. Also, I realized the next day that my car had swirls of scratches from the brush I used to scrub my car. Im not sure whether to blame the brush or how hard I scrubbed.. (My car was so filthy!) Other than those two experiences, I didnt feel rushed when wiping down my car at the vacuums and cleaning it out. I spent at least an hour and a half on that. I went early and people came and went...didnt look like they had to wait to get started on washing their cars.

Token machine is made to make you pay more than you need to. First I went, it didnt take quarters so I drove to the bank to get ones. Then, wouldnt you know it, it doesnt take ones either. 5-10-20 only, and a car wash costs 6, so youll be left paying a minimum of $4 extra. It only has 4 options Spray, Soap Spray, Soap Brush(which drips on your head and slaps against your car), and Wax. You get 4 minutes for $6. They didnt have trash cans that I could find. But really, what other options do you have? The next best thing are $20+ options about 10 min away. I think the only reason this spot is still in business is because they have no competition.

Place makes you purchase tokens. We all know why they do that and its just shady business. Doesnt accept credit cards. Not sure if it was just a windy day but its like a wind tunnel when washing, got really wet. Great for drying, though. No minute warning, clock just stops and then you have to pay another $3 in tokens. Very short duration for what you pay. Soap spray didnt work. One of the bays didnt work.

this place is terrible never works, token machine always shorting tokens or simply out of service, vaccums are a joke. Listen if you are the owner and want unload all these bad reviews respond to this review, willing to buy it and turn it into real carwash no really, this is not a joke serious buyer!

Its kinda run down. Yes, the sprayers spray and soap brush ejects soap. I guess i didnt care for the guy waiting to look at the garbage i had just placed in the receptacle. O and the damn machine only takes 5s and 10s and 20s

This place is kind of a rip off. You think you are going to save money by doing it yourself, but you will easily spend $15 to wash a truck, and your car will still have spots and streaks. Go somewhere else.

Stay away...soap wands leak on you, water pressure seems (intentionally?) low, requiring extra coins for more time.

Wish they had an option on token machine to exchange one dollar bills just to vacuum out the car real fast.

I think it makes a great place to clean your car but can be expensive.
