    the reflection of a tree on the hood of a car

    -Went into the Kent car wash on 8/2/2023 with our new truck. -Noticed significant scratches on the hood & passenger side panel. - brought truck back to car wash & manager said he can't see evidence of the scratches before or after the car wash. He said he didn't think the car wash would make those kind of scratches. He said he could offer $100 towards a buff job. - took truck to collision business and they said it is from the car wash. They said scratches are too deep to be fixed with a buff job. Truck will need to be repainted.

    Unbelievable! This car wash caused extensive damage to my car. Dented and scratched my passenger door and tore my front bumper halfway off. As upsetting as this is, accidents do happen, but the part that makes it worse is when I addressed the issue to one of the employees she told me it was MY fault! The machine even damaged the car behind me. I have pictures and am definitely filing. Buyer beware. I will NEVER return. This company and its employees clearly do not care about your property.

    These guys are awesome! I don't get what Cami is saying, Never have seen a scratch on the car after getting it clean, love the smell of the soap they use but this location is a little tricky to get in, like the Tacoma location. I would HIGHLY recommend this place!

    It's an ok location. Car wash is pretty short. It did the job great after the 2nd wash. FYI - you may wash your vehicle a 2nd time for FREE!! I always do at all Brown Bear car wash locations. haha!

    My husband's car is filthy dirty he washes it twice a year. And anytime I drive it I like to have it washed. We pull up to One of the two lines to wash the vehicle. There's a really nice lady who stands outside and describes anything for us that we do not understand and makes recommendations if we ask her. I told her my car was really dirty and she said that if we felt the car was still dirty after we went through the car wash that we could run it through again for free. That was cool. I Paid for my car wash and moved forward. Another really nice lady had a paddle in her hand that Gave us the expected direction of when we should go which way to turn if we're outside the lane or inside the lane. Put your car in neutral and let the conveyor move your vehicle through the car wash. Inside there were multiple color lights which was entertaining with itself. When we got to the end of the car wash I was surprised at how clean it was. I really didn't want to take the time to run the car through the car wash again but it only needed a little bit more cleaning. It looked 80% better than it was. I was just happy it didn't look disgusting anymore. I would definitely go here again. It was one of the best carwashes I've ever been to, I especially love the fact that I didn't have to get out of my car.

    I have the monthly membership which allows me to stop by at any Brown Bear Car Wash and I love it. I love keeping our truck clean so it's very easy to quickly stop by. This particular day was pretty busy so we had a bit of a wait, which we don't mind. At other locations I usually get a wet towel that we use inside as we are going through the car wash but at this location I was told they only had the wet towels available after you exit the car wash tunnel. Usually at other locations they scrub our back window before going in but I'm not sure if they forgot or they just don't do that at this location but we weren't scrubbed. I wasn't going to get off and get a wet towel because it was pretty busy. Lots of people drying and cleaning out their cars everywhere. I do like to clean the inside with the towels just so it's not so dusty, so I decided I might as well vacuum since I was already having to get off for the wet towel. The vacuum machine worked good. We also used the shampoo machine, It had a great refreshing smell and worked great. I was very pleased with that machine. Overall this location is good, I'm thinking I'll have one of my kids get off first and get a couple of wet towels first before going in the car wash.

    This by far is the best Brown Bear automatic car wash I've been to. I've probably used it 30 times by now and each time I've been very happy. Easy to get in and out of, however on a nice day and in summer it can back out onto the street. Even if there is a line it moves fast as they have two pay point gates. If you're in a truck use the LEFT LANE otherwise you may have to jockey aroubd the immediate right turn to the wash building. I have a 3/4 ton extended cab and if using the left side I can make an easy turn and make it. If you get gas at the Chevron you can pay for your wash at that time and just enter the code at one of the gates. Also this station usually has a good price so to fuel and get a wash at the same time/location is great.

    Worst vacuum ever- 'turbo-vac' is a joke. No suction, plus it cost me $1.75, not $1.50 as posted!

    This brown bear car wash is by far the best one that they have. I love the prepaid car washes! I can go through as many times as I want!

    They put dirty vehicle to automated car wash without preparation. It damages the paint and you pay for that.

The pluses are that while you are waiting for your tank to fill with that premium hooch, you have the excitement of keeping your eyes on other cars that are coming in for the midnight or later fill ups. It's exciting to keep your eyes on the shit boxes, the really loud front wheel drive four bangers with mufflers installed that attempt to make them sound like they're V8s. The sound like weed whackers. Oh! Don't turn your back! You may find someone stealing your wallet... Especially if they think you're not privy to workaday crims salivating at the thought of perhaps getting in your passenger side door while you're not paying attention. Lock all your doors, and keep an eye on everything, and you'll get petrol at a fantastic price. Overall, it is a clean place to hang out while filling up your tank. If you are smuggling any alcohol in your car, now might be a time to take a hit!
