It's small (2 lifts) and I presume they're family owned/operated. There are glass shelves of car/oil memorabilia (many old/antiquey). Rustic charm, I say. Dig it. My ONLY complaint is that there is no door between the garage and waiting area, so you get a healthy dose of garage fumes while you wait. Still, quick service and $23 (dealer is $40) makes up for the temporary contact high.

I've tried getting sandwiches in person twice and have felt unwelcome both times trying to order a sandwich. If you don't like your job- quit. If you need more staff because you're busy- hire more. There was one person checking out ahead of me and they said "it's going to be a few minutes". So I politely waited to hand my papers to the women making the sandwiches. I was looking down at their cheese selection and out of the corner of my eye I see a hand shaking toward me. She did not say a word to me but I handed her my papers because she had an annoyed look her face while shaking her hand at me. I told her to cancel my order because I didn't do anything to deserve to be treated that way. We will not be back- I'm supposed this place is able to stay in business with the way they treat their customers. It feels like they're going out of their way to make us a sandwich. Find a new job.

Poor Service, Damaged Property, and an Unfulfilled Promise…read more I would not recommend this car wash based on my experience. Between the rushed service, damage to my property, and the owner's failure to follow through on a promise, this has been an extremely disappointing experience. On October 24, 2026, I stopped by for a wash, but the automatic wash was down because they were performing upgrades. Since that was within their control, I paid $25 for an exterior hand wash instead. The wash felt rushed, white towel lint was left behind, and areas were missed. For the price, I expected much better. However, the biggest issue goes back to March 2026, when one of their employees damaged the GMC emblem on my floor mat. My girlfriend and I returned to show the manager. He took us into his office and pulled up the security footage. We watched an employee slam my floor mat against a metal post to remove debris, then crouch down, move the mat out of view of the camera, and loosely put the emblem back into place. After reviewing the footage, the manager wrote a note to the owner explaining what had happened. The owner contacted us and told us to take time out of our workday to bring the mat to a repair shop to have the emblem glued back on. He specifically promised that if the repair didn't hold, he would replace it. We followed his instructions, but the glue failed in the summer heat, and the emblem fell off again. I still have the text conversations with the owner saved on my phone, including his promise to replace the emblem if the repair failed. After I canceled my wash membership, it seems that promise was forgotten. I can't know the owner's intentions, but the timing has certainly left a bad impression. What makes this even more frustrating is the business's public response to my Google review. Rather than addressing the specific incident, the response claimed that their processes do not directly damage items. This is despite the manager reviewing the footage with us and the owner being informed of the damage. It feels like a generic denial instead of an honest effort to resolve the situation. I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and will provide my saved text conversations as supporting documentation. I also wanted to share my experience here so other customers can make an informed decision. Mistakes can happen at any business. What matters is how a business handles them. In this case, the damage was documented, the owner made a promise, the repair failed, and the issue remains unresolved. Between the quality of the wash and the way this damage was handled, I cannot recommend this business. Customers deserve quality service, accountability, and a business that stands behind its promises.
