I had high hopes for this car wash. Location and cost were excellent and I must admit the first four visits after opening were great. I was able to get in/out cleaning my car inside and out in under 25 minutes. They do the wash and then you pull out into a spot, vacuuming and cleaning the windows yourself. You put your mats in an automatic cleaner and they are done within a minute. Perfect, right? The last four visits have been terrible. Half of the parking spots where you clean your vehicle are blocked off with yellow cones. The spot closest to the automatic car wash had a car backed into it and no one touched it the entire time I was there. i assume it was an employees car. On all of the last several visits I had only one spot to pull into and couldnt pull in because the cars on either side had all their doors open. This was especially infuriating since I try and take care of this on my lunch break and half the spots were blocked but not being used. When I finally pulled in I had to wait another 20 minutes for the other drivers to finish so I could have the room to vacuum (I drive an average size vehicle). There was only one spray bottle of cleaner and it was broken. I didnt see anyone else hoarding bottles so they clearly didnt have enough. Today I finally got out of there after 40 minutes and I didnt get my car clean. Im done. I gave them plenty of chances to improve and Im convinced they are managed very poorly. I will not go back again and I would only recommend them if you have lots of time and nothing else to do.

Pretty amazing actually. The car wash they have is fantastic, although a little rough on my mirrors, no damage though. 20$ is what I paid for the top tier wash and it seems worth it. My car is really shiny lol they also have a floor mat cleaning machine, and a free vacuum station at the end. They also provide wash cloths for you to make some finishing touches on your car, I will more than likely go again.

Vac areas have floor mat washers for both carpet and rubber mats. Window washing fluid and cleaning cloths are available to help you clean interior glass.

Great service and access to rags with cleaners and car matt cleaning machines (which Id never seen before).

Very clean car for a drive through. The microfiber towels for use is a nice touch.
