Best experience I ever had at a car wash. Employees are very friendly, positive and helpful. Dino-might sales reps and the crew goes above and beyond to help customers. Painters Run is a beautiful sight.

I’m not someone who even usually goes to the car wash so I just picked randomly on my route and I must say I will be going back to this car wash. They were helpful and professional. The manager Joe (I think was his name) greeted me and was kind and helpful. He even helped me find a new feature on my new vehicle I had no idea existed! So now I may have to go back next week. Definitely recommend this car wash.
