Too many people traveling probably go here and get a bad taste in their mouth about Chico. Based on employees attitude's alone. It's too bad. Idk why they're so highly rated.

At least they don't do that here.

Not familiar with car washes in the area, I found this one on Yelp :) It was conveniently located right off the freeway so off I went for a wash. I wasn't sure how clean my car would get from going through what looked like a very simple and quick "drive through" station but, any amount of improvement was better than nothing! I ran inside, paid for my "quick wash", and was told to enter the number on my receipt at the entrance to the car wash. Simple enough, just how I like it! Drove up to the entrance, dialed the digits on the pin pad and drive into the "dome". It was very quick, aprox 4-5 minutes and viola! Clean car! Well sort of... after the wash, I pulled over to dry my car off and give her a good vacuum. I noticed it still had bird poo on the hood and the back window but, I wasn't surprised. Seems like birds these days have cement doodoo and sometimes it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get off. The quick wash actually got my car pretty clean and the vacuum was powerful too. Gave enough time for me to vacuum front, back AND the trunk area (only a buck got the whole car vacuumed)! Yeah baby! Nothing better than a clean ride, thanks Thorntons!

Here in Chico more often than not my car is still dirty after the wash. I have to run thru twice and is still dripping dark color soap that stains my white car and the towels i use to dry it. Additionally it does not clean the flies from the front bumper and hood. It never comes out clean in the front area. It'd be nice if they maintained the trash cans empty and the vacuum area clean.

This is extremely important and I have to do something about it. I am not very happy & very dissatisfied with one of your services in Chico when we took my SUV (Ford Explorer, navy blue color) to the Surf thru Express Car Wash in the south part of Chico, CA last August 8th. People were nice but not sure about their "integrity" (or your company's?), we chose the top level, $22 one-time payment. Yet, they did not do a good job which caused us to redo *twice* (driving thru the wash bldg) within minutes due to numerous dissatisfactions. If the credit hasn't been reversed, we have to let our attorney know. They are waiting for our "green light:" (or not). You have until next week, August 20th. I dislike making threats but based upon a few places like yours taken advantage of us, deaf people. Hope you understand my discouragement. It crushes our hearts typing you an email like this. Hear from you whenever you have time but as soon as you can, can you? This is because I am not the only one who expressed concerns, too.. But pls refund $22 back to me ASAP and tio IMPROVE the service by adding *pre-carwash* "hand washing(+ scurbing, too) as well just like many luxury (or sophisticated) car wash companies do.
