Wash left spots on my windows and mirrors and I still had dead bugs on the bumper. I enjoyed the free vacuum and dash/glass cleaners with towels.

I like coming to this establishment, what I cannot stand about here is when you show up and you still have 10 min until the time you close.

It was not as slick as Ivanhoe in 38th and Cleveland. I had my knickers in a pinch but I ate the crow and resorted to one affordance in proportion with the assortment of resources available. I made the doors glisten. I made the forth the core and i went North to the forest for the sport. When the work is in Forbes…
That’s definitely not the easy getaway we aim for, Martin. Shoot a note to [email protected] with your location and visit details so we can get this dialed in.

I like coming to this establishment, what I cannot stand about here is when you show up and you still have 10 min until the time you close. Which if I'M correct is at least 3-5 car washes Potentially over $100, if your trying to upsale to a monthly membership. So shame on your employees for not helping themselves by making the upsales and possible commission. And the owners loosing out too, missing sales and having employees in a rush to dip out. The closing time is 8p.m. And most likely your schedules have you out after 8 giving you enough time to shut down and cash out for the nite. Even if it's a crappy job and you cant wait to leave, wait, I promise you it will teach you a lot. Because one day you may be the owner of that business. I am sure when the tables are turned, you won't like employees closing early to rush out and loosing money. Think about it.

It’s irritating to pay a monthly membership, however 9 out of 10 times I go sweepers are not properly working so I have to go elsewhere and spend money to use sweepers.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

Car comes out cleaner, and shinier than my windex shined ASU black oxfords ever did, I'll tell you what. Very quick in and out, employees are very helpful, and I can get as many washes as I want in a month for just $10 more than the single wash price. Ka-ching.
