This is not my first time washing my car here, every time I come my car ends up the same way dirty. The car ended up just as dirty as it went in—along the lower sections on both sides and at the back, it’s every bit as filthy as it was when it arrived. When this business first started, it was wonderful—everything…

This is not my first time washing my car here, every time I come my car ends up the same way dirty. The car ended up just as dirty as it went in—along the lower sections on both sides and at the back, it’s every bit as filthy as it was when it arrived. When this business first started, it was wonderful—everything from the customer service to the quality of the wash was excellent. Now, as the business has grown, they seem to be losing sight of all that. I hope the owner(s) take note of this (and I’m not the only one; I’ve seen other cars drying next to mine that came out just as dirty). They need to ensure the quality of service is maintained so that what customers pay is actually worth it.
