I am not a car wash expert, but this place seemed nice. I was a little frustrated by the price. Its $2 to start and that seems to only give you about a couple of minutes. After that, its about $1 a minute, which seems expensive. I would recommend skipping the pre-soak and foaming brush, just go straight to the high-powered soap wash and rinse, otherwise you spend a small fortune. They do have a vacuum cleaner with foaming shampoo brush, which I highly recommend. Just dont get too much foam on the brush and have something to clean your seat off with before you end up with a wet rear-end as you drive home.

Recently Sprague Avenue Carwash installed these new card readers in the self serve bays that only charge me for the time I use. I usually go through the pre-soak, bubble brush, spray wash, hot wax, and triple foam and end up with spending something like 7.56 or 8.32 - around $5 if I dont do the extras. Its nice that I dont have to pay another $2 to run the machine for a few minutes when I may only need a couple more seconds. If your not into the self-wash their touchless system is sooo much better than the classic brushes beating the crap out of your car.

Best place, by far, to wash your car. They have both automatic and self serve car washing. Good prices, as well. Often times, during the day, the owner will be out there assisting you with the automatic wash machine; not trying to sell you what you dont need, just helping and connecting with the community. The only thing that I would change is that you cant use your wash card at the vending machine, but hopefully that will be updated soon.

Nice little car wash with 3 DIY bays and 3 automatic bays. A bit more expensive than, say, Shell, but if you have extra stuff on your car that may be damaged by the rollers in a standard car wash or if you like to get up close and clean every little part of your car, definitely one of the better places to go.

The self serve wash is great (better than the drive thru) and affordable. The drive thru workers are always cheerful and nice too. The vacuums work well and the area is always clean. Its be great if there were a quarter machine or vacuums that take cards but otherwise good.

Good customer service, Ok pricing, but honestly they did not do a good job on my detail or my roommates. I recommend if you are someone that is in a hurry or needed it to be affordable then by all means. I personally will do my own vehicles my self

They even prepare your car before the automatic car wash, really nice! Everything is pressure based for automatic carwash, therefore no ripping off bumpers by those red rags on other automatic carwashes. The car is sparkly clean afterward!

Residue from the wash made my windshield wipers skip completely unusably. Not good when a surprise rainstorm hits on the highway. Otherwise it was a nice, if no frills, car wash.

Wash bays and vacuums, and fantastic attendants at the three touchless car wash bays to scrub windows and wheels before entering the bay. Reasonable prices and a great wash.

One of the only car washes with a touchless option -- great to avoid scratching darker cars! The attendant does a great job pre-washing tires and windshields. $8-12 per wash.

Paid for the most expensive wash and one side of my car was still dirty....very upsetting so took it to another car wash to have it done again

Nice coin-op with a card option. Strong vacuums, and a good touchless automatic wash.

I dig this wash. I just wish the front vacuums were easier to access.

Half of the washes/ vacs were broken when I tried a few weeks ago.

Affordable and easy to use. Best vacuumes for a decent price.

Good clean facility, cars cleaner than a drive through wash.
