"They did an excellent job cleaning up my car, which was crusted with beach sand, dog hair and assorted road dirt. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. They have plenty of courteous and friendly crew on hand. Well-stocked gift shop with lots and lots of cards for birthdays. Reasonable prices. If I lived here l'd definitely be back."

"This is the only full-service car wash I have gone to since I started driving in 2017. Nice people, amazing service! I usually get silver and end up paying around $30 and change. Always nice to tip the people washing your car for you. 2 carpets washed for $5, and it was well worth it. After every 10 washes, get a major discount on one! I'm working up to my 20th wash! Thank you"

- Kooyah PD.

"Love getting my car wash here, it just gets busy so you have to come when it's not. That also tells you it's a good business when it gets busy all the time. Also love their promos for frequent customer within a month, if you have more than 1 car it's worth it."

- Sardnas F

"Absolutely 💯! First time taking my car to this car wash, great job! And the time to take care of full service was also pretty fantastic! Spent a total 45mins, for a full car service, which included hand wax, and all the other trimmings! I showed my appreciation with a generous tip! $69 serv"
