I had to go wash my mom's car recently. The one good thing about this car wash is it's close to my house. I picked it because I wanted the self-service car wash, because of how dirty the car was, body lines, and moldings. All of these things seem to get in the way when I go through the regular car wash. Seems like only hand washing gets it thoroughly clean. I came by with my husband to help me, as I'm short and can't reach the roof of the car, even with the giant brush. So I needed help. That, and I don't do a ton of manual labor. I am much better at directing. We drive in to the stall, it's pretty big. Reminds me of a barn that's open at both ends. Next to us is an automatic car wash, that you either drive through or sit and let the brushes run around the car. Not sure, as I didn't explore that side. We get things going by feeding the vending machine-like thing money. It requires it to operate. You can choose water with soap, water to rinse, I think temperature, and a couple other things. My husband was in charge of this part, but I know he asked me to confirm what we were doing as we went. So after you feed the hungry machine, it gives you water. I started with soapy water, and my husband used the brush nearby to scrub it while I soaked the car down with a power washer wand. With the power washer wand, I was able to get the moldings and spots that traditional car washes miss, which made me happy. The part that didn't make me happy was the pressure from the power washer helped strip off some paint in a couple spots. Nothing huge, but it accentuated problems that already excised. Other parts I didn't like, the giant brush. Next time I'll bring a rag, as the brush just kind of moved the dirt around, not actually removing it. You can't pause the water either to get those problem spots completely before rinsing. The vacuums are less than stellar and I did better at home. If the weather was better, I would've washed the car at home where I could give it the attention to detail it needed. Am I a fan of this car was? Ehh, not really. It did its job, don't get me wrong. But if things like the vacuum and brush worked properly, having rags available, plus being able to pause the timer on the water to hit troubled spots, I think I would feel like I got my money's worth a lot more.

Busted machine, still charged my card. Incredibly frustrating and annoying. Can't believe I got scammed by this place

Someone needs to figure out who owns this garbage joint and put him on blast. For 10 years he's been charging peoples cards for washes that either don't even turn on at all or don't finish at all. Scamming people and making a killing. Do not spend a single $ here or at the coffee shop next door. I have attempted to request refunds and connection to the owner with no success. Dirtball establishment. If I could give 0 stars I would read more

Bay car wash sprayer did not work on any setting. Stopped the timer after about 30 seconds and it said it charged me $2 of the $3. No contact info on site. The phone number listed online at 541-726-2780 says it cannot be completed as dialed. I would not recommend this place. read more

Choose the $10.00 no touch wash. Machine failed halfway through, leaving my SUV covered in pre-wash and partial soap. Was forced to use the one next to it (brushes) for an additional $7.00. That one had NO soap but at least it rinsed it off (brushes are very rough). No numbers to call, so I guess I'll be joining the rest of the people on here and involve the BBB. This place used to be good but it's an epic fail now. Don't waste your money, no one is maintaining this place, and it's become an utter rip-off. They owe me $17.00 as far as I'm concerned. read more

There's a car parked, blocking the only working self service car wash with a traffic zone behind it

I swiped my card to "pre" wash the tires of my car. It should have only been $3.00. When I got home and looked at my bank statement it is pending for $10.00 (hoping it's a hold and will correct itself.) I paid for the $7.00 auto wash after, nothing fancy but it should have at least cleaned my car. Worst car wash! Don't waste your money. UPDATE: The pending $10 charge turned into $15. So I was charged a total of $23 for the WORST car wash ever. It only washed the sides of my vehicle. I made a report to BBB and left a google review. I hope more people don't lose money before they address the issue or at least post signage that states you will be charged this much money if you use a debit card. If you do go CASH only! read more

They charged my bank account 23 dollars for a 5 dollar car wash when I was done washing my car there was this film all over my car , the high pressure soapy wash has no soap it's just plain water I believe they don't because if they did they would refund me 1500 rst time I used my debit card .

I was excited to use the self-serve car wash to clean my small (24-foot) RV. When I swiped my VISA card, the reader did not work. Disappointing since I drove there from 10 miles away. There was no one I could find to help me so I left for home to pressure wash the RV there. read more

Everything was broken. The one vacuum that looked in order had a card swip slot. I swiped and there was no prompt and it didn't work. Three days later I got a $10 charge from them, for swiping their broken machine. Scum bag scam artists. Please don't use them. Would like them to go under. read more

Carefree Carwash - after leaving the car wash i wiped my hand on my car since i noticed dirt. The wash didn't even clean my car! - Car Wash Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

There are like 6 vacuums and none of them worked. Just wasted so many quarters simply trying to clean my car.

Do not spend your money at this car wash place. It took $12 from me and didn't wash my car at all and then when I waited to come around another car came through and they paid and it didn't even wash their car and they had just gone through the other side to wash theirs and it didn't work so neither side of the car wash worked and both of us were in our vehicles upset because there is absolutely no phone number anywhere around the building to call when there are issues. I left my phone number with a coffee shop to give to the owner and nobody ever called me and I never received my money back. This car wash is a joke and it's the worst one I've ever been to in my life. The owner is making a killing off of crappy car washes and doesn't do anything to fix or own mistakes and no business should be supported that doesn't leave a phone number when issues arise. Beware of this fake car wash and business. read more

Each time we went the high pressure soap didn't have any soap the regular soap didn't have any soap and one time it didn't even have high pressure But it was definitely quick enough to take your money off your debit card I would not recommend anyone use this car wash until they get things straight read more

The first self service bay did not work because the coin slot was jammed. I used the other self service bay to only find out that there was no soap or high pressure. There is no attendant or contact information posted anywhere on the property. It was a waste of time and money. An internet search about this place reveals many complaints and no evidence that there has been any accountability for this business. read more

I wish I would have looked here first!!That was the most frightening car wash ever! There is nothing more to say. Don't go there.

Went to clean out my car, and the owner greeted me with hostility 5 minutes into cleaning out my car. "You know the trash is for customers and no one else right?" I thought maybe he was just a Karen trying to find something to complain about. I replied "yep, just cleaning out my car." he left, like two minutes later comes back and rants about people just dumping their stuff here and explains that he's the owner and then says he's got cameras and is just getting plates now and then leaves, I'm like okay he's just ya know doing his job so I half ass cleaning out my car and go to the auto-wash because I felt bad, get soap sprayed on and the machine makes a big clunk and stops. so I left with a sudsy car aggravated that I tried to be nice. This car wash is a mess and all tore up. I think the owner has some other priorities to settle before coming for someone just throwing some trash away in his trash cans. I'be come here a lot since I live around the corner but I'll be sure not to burden the owner anymore with my business. read more

Went too the car wash, paid drove in. The machine started but did not move. The bristles twirled the water sprayed but it did not move. I found there number to call and report this, along with asking for my money back. The number is disconnected. I placed a sign in front of that stall to prevent others from losing money, it was removed the following day. Beware, I will not be back to this location. read more

I almost always do the drive thru one with the scrubber flappy things.. never had issues until last night when it not only bent both of my mirrors ALL THE WAY BACKWARDS and broke off BOTH of my windshield wipers.. will never go back again.. could have busted my windshield and seriously injured myself and my roommate. read more

Dog wash area looks all clean and nice-be warned it takes all your $ no way to get it back. No contact number to call and ask. The damn thing NEVER came on after you get your dog all leashed in. When a business offers no contact to report a problem you know it's a business that SUCKS! read more

Terrible. Doesn't deserve any stars. No water came out on one side and small trickle on the other. The hood of our car was barely touched and is still coated with dust. There are no attendants present to rectify the situation. read more

This was the worse car was ever. I was told by an auto body shop that he goes to the coffee shop on a certain week day and gers a free car wash with the purchase of the coffee. Well let's just say I wouldn't even accept this car wash if it was free. It didn't clean at all. And there was no way to get a refund read more

Worst car wash ever. Went thru one lane after paying and nothing came on. Backed up to hit the refund button-and nothing. Went thru the second lane-paying again-and the car wash started but when it was done it looked like I hadn't even gone thru it. Total of $14.00 for the crappiest car wash ever. And they don't issue receipts to prove you were there nor do they have a working phone number to call and submit a complaint. STAY FAR AWAY. read more

I have been using this carwash since it opened. The other day my VISA was charged twice for a wash. I went to the carwash to ask about it, but no one was there. I could not find a contact name or number posted anywhere at the carwash. I tried to call the number listed online for the Carefree carwash, 541-726-2780, but it is no longer in service. Unfortunately, that is a deal breaker for me. I will not go back. read more

I tried this car wash several times last year; it only washed the top half of my car... Such a disappointment. This is the touch less automatic carwash. I tried it twice thinking that there may have been a mechanical issue my first visit. Noticed the other day that they have another bay with a new automatic carwash set up. It cleaned great but it is not touch less. read more

I put my card and and drove into the bay and nothing happened I went back through and paid again and it worked I also put two dollars into a vacuum that didn't work. I knocked on the door for where the attendant should be nobody was there . the garbage cans were full so I couldn't even empty out the stuff in my car. Went next door to the coffee shop that's owned by the same people the kids said sorry can't do anything about the vacuum and the owners on vacation. Looked the number up in the phonebookand it's not valid. What kind of Business is this guy running? read more
