I tried aqua car wash and had high expectations. The facility is clean and they offer self serve, touchless, and soft touch washes, with 3 different levels. There is a premium package, a mid range package, and a low cost package, with the least expensive wash coming in at 8$.
Aqua also offers a monthly wash club at 2 levels, low cost and higher cost.
The basis of my review will be joining the low cost monthly wash club. Coming in at $21, it's a reasonable price, but once you realize what's included you may have second thoughts about re-upping after the first month.
The wash itself is great, however the only thing included is the wash. In fact, even when spending $240/yr the dryer is not Included, neither is soap, nor an undercarriage wash.
Unfortunately this means that on blustery winter days, monthly customers will be sitting in the lot with soggy hands drying their vehicle in the frigid cold.
The failure to perform an undercarriage wash is frankly neglectful. This means that your $240/year does not include the removal of road salt or other contaminants which contribute to the premature rusting/failure of vehicles.
Even without soap though the wash made the topside of my car shiny.
While the surface exterior of this wash looks nice, it fails to meet the basic standards that every wash should meet to provide the service they claim to. The only way to get the dryer and undercarriage wash are to purchase the premium package which contains several other bells and whistles (and soap) and comes in at 30% higher cost.
So the next time I'm in I hope it includes all the parts that make it a car wash I'd go to forever. read more
