    We usually really love car washes, so we were looking forward to trying out caramel after a bad experience at a different place. Unfortunately it was just an overall weird and awkward experience from start to finish. First of all, the older man where you pay before getting the car wash was extremely rude and unclear. Starting the experience off terrible. The car wash itself was good, though. The only reason they're getting 3 stars instead of 1, though, is truly because of the people who hand towel dry your car. They were extremely friendly, helpful, and kind. Going the extra mile for a spot that the car wash left. The value and price isn't bad, but an awkward experience definitely breaks it!

    I took in not my Jeep Unlimited Wrangler and Porsche Cayenne. We just moved from Cali being on the road a few days with kids and dogs. They did an Amazing job in full service. They went way above and beyond. As a result only wife purchased a membership. Idk what the bad reviews were about. I love this place.

    Been coming here for a while now. Not the best car wash I've been in, but they do a decent job. I get the $20 wash most of the time. I feel sorry for the employees because they always seem to be short-handed, so they have to juggle many cars a minute. Lately, employees have been allowed to dress for the season, making the whole process somewhat festive..

    I've been twice now and very pleased with the results. They are quick and professional. I paid $29.95 for the inside and outside to be cleaned.

    See all

    Workers are not kind, no towels to use to dry off your car, car wash does not clean good at all... would not recommend, waste of money

    Tire shine looks great, and they vacuumed all the dog hair out as well.

He went above and beyond and helped me remove some scratches off my truck. Both David and Peter were great to work with. Peter even removed a dent in my Husbands truck when we picked up my truck. They took the time to explain and show us the process that is used. I will refer them to all who need repair.

    All I can say about my experience with David the owner at paintless dent repair is a given an A+…read morethumbs up 100% positive rating if I could give him 10 Stars I would. I called and he immediately answered the phone I explained my situation and texted him a photo of the dent in my car and explained I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on my POS car he texted me back $80 no problem meet me at the shop in 30 minutes. He had it done quickly even though my vehicle posed a few problems for him to get it done in the fashion he thought it was going to be and I offered to pay him more money and he said no that was fine we'll get through this. Even so I tried to tip in $20 extra for the trouble he refused to take it and then he went around my car and for free took out every car being in both of my doors I thought that was so kind and I was so impressed that I didn't have to leave my car for a couple of days or feel ripped off by body mechanics who usually want to charge a female 3 to $500 for any kind of damage to their car. I totally trust this man. Ladies he is very cute and friendly he refused to take extra money and did all the extra work recommended some great products for me to get the kitty cat paw prints off my car every morning so I don't have to take it through the carwash everyday and I am definitely recommending to all my friends and cohorts that they take their car there if they need a minor body repair or hail damage as that is his specialty I can't say enough good things about this business and the friendly businesslike manner that I was treated and just got to sit down and watch him work, I didn't have to leave my car for 2 days and Rent-A-Car as has been my past experience with even the most minor car repair.

    I honestly can't understand the 5-star reviews this place was a frustrating experience. It was only…read more$9 bucks but I would rather have gone somewhere else for that price. 1. Confusing process: The drive-in car wash requires you to pay at a cashier around the corner from the entrance with a gate. I've never seen a setup like this it seems like a waste of real estate which could be more parking for the store next store or maybe WORKING vacuums. Usually payment is quick and convenient at the entrance, either via a booth attendant or a handheld POS brought to your vehicle. This setup felt unnecessarily complicated. Poor business plan. 2. Poor washing quality: The pre scrub attendant barely did anything, the brush barely touched my truck, and even after going through the wash I still had to wipe bird droppings off my windows myself. Bugs on the grille were untouched, which I understand takes more effort, but overall the wash felt rushed and incomplete. 3. Broken vacuum equipment: I tried four different vacuum stations. The first had a broken hose attachment, the second had no power on one side, and the same issues repeated at other booths. I had to hop around multiple times before I could finally vacuum my car properly. It's clear the equipment is poorly maintained, and the staff isn't doing enough to keep the service functional. Overall, this felt like lazy management and bad business. I'm genuinely skeptical of the glowing reviews, they don't reflect my experience at all.

    Really enjoyed this car wash!…read more They have a beautiful place. I come here on a Wednesday afternoon. Drove through the car wash for the outside clean, paid $40 for an outside and inside clean! I don't know if the 40 was a special, but they did a great job, and it was quick. The waiting area of the car wash is beautiful. They have a kid place, and an area to sit with multiple circuits so you can work. I was able to work while getting my car cleaned in a nice area. They also have waters and a nice coffee machine. I'll definitely be back!
