Be careful of the scam!! The vacuum outside says that it accepts cards too (with extra charge). I swiped my card and it said processed but nothing happened (checked my card and noticed that I was charged). Went inside and explained this to the owner inside (showed them charge on my credit card in my banking app). He said that I have to pay the extra fee (to use card) by coins! He also said that he doesn't have coins! Long story short, he said he doesn't take any responsibility! Be careful

Came on a Saturday morning and it was not busy. $8 for the cheapest drive-thru car wash as of today. Completely automated, you select your wash and pay with a credit or debit card at the machine right outside the car wash, then drive in. Thing let's you know when to stop. From what I could tell, no soap was used, but my car looked clean after. Vacuum outside has very little suction power. Whole place is kind of dirty, par for the course in that part of the city.

Actually, this is a really nice car wash! Super affordable (the most deluxe version is just $13). You can either pay inside, or at the kiosk when entering the wash. The machine takes its time to wash your car, but that can kind of be a bummer if you're the 3rd+ car in line. I'd say skip it and come back some other time if there are more than 2-3 cars, otherwise it's easily a 20-30 min wait.

Car wash was horrible. First off, the buttons on the first pump I tried wouldn't work so I couldn't select a wash. The was itself hardly cleaned the car. And it dripped blue soap the whole length of the car on the way out which I had to wash off when I got home. Don't waste your money. Only good thing, if you have a hydrogen car, you can fill it there.

  • Vishnu Nandan

I did the 13$ Ultimate wash. Car looks pretty clean; but doesn't do justice to the wheels, alloys or foot bar on the sides, and other nooks and corners. Use it only if your car doesn't need a thorough wash; but a quick, easy, fairly clean wash to look good for a trip.

  • Kenneth Alexander Thompson

I've grown to really like this drive through. It cleans your car well and if you understand the patterns of motorist who choose this method the waite is never long. Don't go on a Friday after 4pm. Or any unusually warm, sunny afternoon. …

  • MAI KOYAMA

Opening until 11:00 pm helped me a lot for an urgent car wash. However, I wouldn't recommend it to someone who has photosensitivity issues or is sensitive to bright, flickering lights, as the blue and red lighting can be overwhelming.

  • Katka Lipka

Hoover was out of order. The car wash for full car wash cost $15 and it adequate to the quality. Nothing special but car looked washed. Very overage. The area is scary, I would avoid it next time for sure.

  • Tyler

Car wash broke halfway through covering my car in soap. Employee at gas station told me it was not his problem and I needed to go somewhere else to get the soap off of my car. What a joke!

  • Achille Verheye

The signage is terrible and my car came out dirty and soapy. The shop assistant told us to go again (at no cost). The second time was better but still not great. No vacuuming available.

  • Nicholas Tremper

Quick and reasonably priced the undercarriage pressure wash was something that even when you wash your car by hand is really difficult to accomplish, but this 100% got the job done.

  • Saro Nalbandian

Reason for 2 stars...this is the slowest car wash I have ever gone through! Waited over 45 mins to get through 6 or 7 cars...never again. Fuel was fine, though pricier than others.

  • Rishabh Singal

The machine didn’t print the receipt and the cashier said he doesn’t have access to the car wash computer. Needed the receipt for reimbursement. Terrible customer service

  • Will Kardas

Car wash wasn’t running and half the gas pumps needed to be paid inside. The option to get a car wash was still there. The pumps also didn’t have any receipt paper.

  • Kyle Garske

Overall good car wash but it takes about 7 minutes per car. If there’s a line around the corner you’re looking at a good 30 minute wait to use the wash.

  • CHARLES JARRETT

I drive a large vehicle an expedition it's too big for me to wash so I found this gas station that has car wash I was extremely happy with the wash

  • Colleen Darneille

Encloses you into the chamber and the automatic car wash washes, waxes and dries your car pretty thoroughly. I was impressed. Got the deluxe.

  • gordon gray

Bumped my car harder than I would have liked, seemed to wash it pretty well though... And it tried to dry it... But it left my car hella wet

  • marlon parrish

Only if you want your window blown out in the car wash by the air dryer...; ( oh and noone wants to contact you back at all...

  • Calen Correll

Could be the worst business in the city. Will take your money and you won’t get anything in return. Avoid at ALL costs.

  • JT Lee

Even when online says it's open, it's closed after 2 am. You can't even buy through the badly designed night window.

  • Hector Polanco

Get the $13 wash at least, or you’ll be left with spots. Doesn’t dry your windows very well, but it is convenient

  • Jacqueline Tona

Purchase car wash at pump and sign at car wash says carwash doesn't work on small cars. Won't give money back.

  • Rick S

Store is apparently currently closed. However, after we were told it was closed they allowed someone else in.

  • TG

Super convenient and easy. Did the ultimate (15$). There was a 5-7 minute wait because of car in front of us.

  • Rusty Theron

Probably the world's slowest drive-thru car wash. Spent 40 minutes in line behind 4 cars. Wash was ok.

  • Vladislav Kravtsov

Most of the card readers on the pumps don't work, buttons don't work, nfc readers don't work.

  • John Charles

Nice place to get your car washed fairly safe area I think they're open till about 8:00 p.m.

  • PABLO & ANDERSON

My car is EV and I use the wash machine and vacuum is very good and fast.

$8 express wash doesn't clean your car. Don't bother with this car wash.
