Ive been there twice now and both times the attendants have been rude and impatient. The first time there was a person standing by the kiosk rushing me through and pushing the buttons for me which was a waste of time for both of us. During my visit today I requested a receipt from the kiosk so I was waiting for it. Apparently it doesnt work, which I realized when the attendant at the wash was clearly annoyed and yelling at me to pull forward. When I rolled down my window to let him know about the receipt issue he ignored me and walked into the building with me talking at his back. Better off to just get rid of the attendants. They clearly hate their job.

If I could rate anything less I would. I spent 14 dollars for my car to come out rinsed. Sure they poured soap on it but it did absolutely nothing. Worst car wash Ive had. The guy who took care of the place was cool and let me run it through again but it came out as dirty as when i first put it in. Definitely not returning there. I purchased some bug thing for my windshield but seeing how the car was washed i doubt it did anything different.

Terrible car wash. Honestly it looked better before it went through because I expected it to be dirty. Charged an extra $15 to run the vacuum and clean windows. Windows are still dirty and interior is still dirty. I spent $28 for nothing. Dont waste your money although there arent many alternatives in Ames. Somebody needs to open a real car wash.

I have a full sized suburban and it gets it clean each and every time. I love the hand prep ahead of going into the car wash. I also love that it only takes a few minutes to be wheeled through in comparison to the 7 minutes to wait for a bar to decide what its doing next and then waiting for it to go around my vehicle.

Cant leave zero stars or I would! They ran me through the car wash dry, twice! Apparently it had been malfunctioning all day, but they put us through anyway and it left scratches on the side of my new car! On top of that, they refuse any liability... car wash ended up costing me $150 to repair damages!

Online hours say open until 8pm tonight, yet the wash wasnt open/functioning tonight. No closed or out of order message was displayed on welcome screen either. Understand if you are closed, but I would suggest posting correct hours online to prevent wasted trips across town for people. Thanks!

Gave it one star because I could not go any lower....half the equipment didnt work, did terrible job cleaning my Jeep...felt bad for the employees who have to deal with junk for equipment...kept apologizing for something the owner needs to fix.

Dude put my money in the machine for me like I was a child, stood there with a sprayer for prep but didnt spray until I was mostly into the car wash, foam didnt spray out right, bugs on my windshield still. Dryers sucked

No prewash/ prep, left soap on my car, didnt get my car completely clean at all, dryers were crap. Would not suggest if you want to get your car completely clean, spend your money on soap and do it yourself.

Paid for the top level car wash. First time I went through nothing happened. Second time I went through I did not get all the cleaning features I paid for. Not worth the money. Take your business elsewhere

Dont waste your money. I could do a better job in the dark. Its definitely over priced when it leaves dirt streaks on the sides and soap all over the windows.

Jack Koethe

Very bad car wash. They stopped my dry time early and the car wash stopped mid wash so I was stuck in the wash for over 5 minutes. Horrible experience.

Spent $12 for the EF5 (Incredibly Clean) wash and it was terrible, I am not convinced that the back of my vehicle was even sprayed with water.

Great place to have a quick wash for your car. Dont go except with a coupon code which bring the basic wash to as low as $3

Jim Shields

The wash is good, and there are a lot of options, but I think its kind of expensive for what you get, at each price tier.

You get these washes for free if you get an oil change at jiffy lube first. The wash and free vacuum are great quality.

I was very disappointed! Did not clean the car very well and didnt get the back side at all.

The car wash scratched my car on the driver side very seriously . Never go there again!
