    I wanted a clay cleaning of my Ford Fusion and nobody seemed to offer it but this company, which was in my city. Granted I know I could have gone further out but I wanted to try this place once. My car looks amazing!! We had to set up an appointment for this exterior clay clean and wax but it looks like when I took it off the showroom floor 12/2011. I am pleased. On the negative side they do try to up sale you for interior cleaning or a monthly wash. But we didn't want any of that since we allready have a subscription with another carwash right now and they are doing a good job. I will recommend the clay clean, its pricy, but seeing my car this way makes it all worth it. (I might add for a regular car wash you sit in your car but if you want interior cleaning you are stuck outside. There is no longer any indoor seating at this shop).

    Wheels immediately after leaving the car wash

    Just left. A drive through car wash would have been equivalent and much cheaper. If you want them to even go into your car to clean anything, it's a minimum $40 wash and goes way up from there. They try to sell you a monthly membership so the expensive washes are "half off". No thank you. The "hand dry" that came with my $20 wash (which I only got because I needed the wheels done) was terrible. The first time I've not topped someone for drying my car. There are still water spots everywhere, they don't open the doors to wipe down the the inside where all the water sits after the wash. They didn't wipe the mirrors or the back of the car at all. She was "done" drying the car in about 1.5 minutes. They tire package I paid extra for was worthless. All tires are filthy after leaving. Absolutely not worth it. By the way, their "full service" wash was $100. I will not be going back.

    Dirty shoe prints on the interior after the car wash which included a vacuum and inside cleaning.

    I purchased a $30 package. You would get more value out of going to a six dollar car wash and vacuuming it out yourself. The inside of the car had crumbs in almost every seat. They were shoes scuff marks on much of the interior. My car was not dirty to begin with at all as it was purchased on New Year's Eve 22. The outside looked average for what you would expect at a car wash of this type.

    This is going to be a long review because there's no way to make it short. I used to love coming here when it was Lakeview. I've been been here one other time since ownership changed and had a poor experience the first time as well. I thought I would give it another shot because who knows. I got the $45 ultimate wash, which is supposed to include wiping door panels, dashboard and center console. When my car was "done" I noticed that none of these things had been touched. I also noticed that parts of my car (the backseat and trunk) were not vacuumed at all. The interior of my car looked literally exactly like it did before I went there. I drove back up to the front to double check what was included in the package. I mentioned my concerns to the guy up front who I had spoken to initially. He told me that he is new and doesn't know what's included and that "it depends on the person because they all do it differently". He told me I would have to drive back around and talk to the people who do the interior cleaning (even though he was the one who vacuumed). At this point I had a bad taste in my mouth, so I decided to leave and just not come back. My sister in law was with me, and once we started talking about it, I decided to turn back around and ask them to clean it. When I went back, they did wipe down the dash board and some of my center console, but it was still a shotty job. They did not wipe down the doors, which is specifically part of the ultimate package. I have dogs, so I really wasn't expecting a pristine job. However, the final product was just an embarrassment. I brought my car home and vacuumed it out and wiped it down myself. These pictures are from AFTER I went beck for the second time. Don't waste your time or money!!! This place has gone so far downhill since there was a change in ownership, and it is more expensive.

    The service I paid for and nowhere on my receipt reads we don't cover tires when I paid for that service

    Was here on 9/3/22 and it rained on 9/4/22 brought my car back for a rain check and they washed the car but not my tires because they say it doesn't cover the tires but I paid for tires The manager on duty was very rude about it and wanted me to pay for tires again Ok I'm here weekly I'll just take my business right up the streets Nowhere on my receipt speak of such ok I'm good with paying where I get good services

    Brandon was very attentive, thoughtful, and helpful. Thank you for the great experience!read more

    Unreliable machines - a near accident - and awful customer service during a crisis…read more.. Let me tell you exactly why not to visit this location. After today's experience, I will be canceling my membership of two years and never returning. Today around 4:40 PM I drove through the car wash. About a third of the way through - with my car covered in soap and zero visibility - I felt a kind of shaking and rumbling below me and around me. Some of the machines seemed to slow down, but I was still rolling forward and then, all of a sudden: a dull thud as my SUV stops suddenly. The brushes are still whirring around me. After maybe 10 seconds everything finally shuts off. I still can't see so I hit my windshield wipers and see that I'm right up against the car in front of me! I'm slightly panicked as the huge brushes are practically at my door and I don't know if I'm going to have to exit my vehicle. A minute later I see two staff members approaching the full size pickup at the front of the line (pickup, black sedan, my SUV, in that order). They motion for the pickup to exit the car wash. The pickup driver had to gun it over the rollers to exit. Then, skipping the black sedan, I don't know the logic there, they come to me and ask me to reverse backward over the rollers (they were trying to create space between our two cars so that we could complete the remainder of the car wash). The staff member also assures me that I did not in fact, hit the vehicle in front of me, but the roller stopped me and there are mere inches between us. I'm thinking, well I sir, did not hit the vehicle because I was in neutral and just sitting here but - semantics. I told him I'd like to inspect my vehicle and he tells me they can also look at the cameras. (Trust issues I guess, CYA!) - oh and no apology as of yet, no asking if I'm okay, nada. Anyway, I put my car in reverse and feel my tires hit the roller behind me, and I say I'm going to have to press the gas and they motion for me to do so. When I do, my tires squeal and skid against the roller. And let me tell you I am not about to damage my tire tread or rims so I look over at the staff member and say, "No. Nope. Not doing that." (at this point. I'm thinking I'm going to have to leave it in neutral and they're just going to have to manually push me over those rollers because - again - I am not damaging my vehicle for the sake of this.) Then they go up to the person in the sedan in front of me and ask him to go forward instead. No explanation of how we ended up so close either! This guy goes ahead and does it - tires, squealing and screeching multiple times as he bounce-BOOM-bang-bounces forward over a set or two of rollers. They then turn the car wash back on and we drive out. I pull around to the vacuum area - black sedan is nowhere to be seen because my immediate thought was going to be to ask him if he was also going to inspect his car and if he was OK. But low and behold, he had actually gone ahead and gone back through the car wash. The young man approached me and said that I could go ahead and go back through as well since it didn't work right the first time. I looked directly at him and said "No. Hell no. Never again." I grabbed a towel to wipe the soap off my back window because mind you, even though the car wash came back on, as we rolled through the water didn't come on until the very end... And in the meantime, as I'm wiping my windows, nobody came up to me to explain what happened or apologize. Nothing to ask if I was OK, to look at my car with me, to ask if I wanted to see video ... literally no one spoke to me again. I've been in customer service for a long time, and this was shocking. It's very rare that there is zero action taken by staff at any establishment to address a situation. Sure, they said we could drive through again. Oh how nice! I would certainly love to drive through your broken, unreliable machine again! Please spare me. One thing to add - if you're at all confused as to why they have 2 stars on Yelp yet they hold a 4.7 on Google, I can give you insight into that as well. As previously stated, I have been a member for 2 years. Prior to that, I had visited a handful of times as it's very close to my house. One time when I visited, a staff member said that if I felt I could give them a five star review, there was some sort of discount on signing up for the membership. Businesses aren't allowed to do this, but they used the proper verbiage to get around it. Something like "If you can't leave us a five star review then let me know how I can improve our service today" or something like that. It's been two years so I honestly don't remember what the discount was but at the time I did feel confident in them and so I went ahead and left a five star Google review as requested. Then I signed up for the monthly membership. I hope the details were helpful. I know this got lengthy!
