I'm so impressed with this place that I've sworn never to take my car to another place again... or…read moreto even wash it myself!
Buckle up (see what I did?! ...I'm not even sorry.) because it's story time.
We first took my wife's Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited to the Autowash because we have 3 fuzz ball dogs and a baby on the way. We'd tried in the past to vacuum out the hair, but it's so woven into the carpets and seats, that it's all but a lost cause. We didn't have high expectations, and figured, at best, they would give it a good washing and clean out the loose hair. We did the full detail... and I've never seen anything like it! The car was spotless. Literally, the mud stains on the soft top (inside and out) from years offroading were gone! That hair? ALL GONE! We bought this Jeep new in 2007, and it hasn't been this clean ever. If cleaning this Jeep as well as they did was the ONLY thing they did, I'd still give them 5 stars.
Fast forward to a few weeks later. Thanks to losing MY car (a 10 year old C-RV. RIP, my reliable, sweet, distinguished old lady) to the Meridian Trench-esque battle that is the turnpike, we bought a black Audi Q5 as a replacement. After driving it around a bunch and getting it covered with pollen and dust, I decided to run it through a touchless car wash. What I didn't realize at the time is that the concentration of chemicals in the "touchless" car washes is high, and the "water" spots, that I would assumed would dry, were actually etching their way into the paint and window glass. This REALLY shows on a black car. There's no hiding it. We made multiple attempts to re-wash it, re-wax it, etc... to no avail. Out of frustration, I drove it to the Autowash, where I met Dan (who I believe is the owner). I think he could sense my desperation, and walked outside with me, walked me around the car, and explained what he would do to take care of everything. I was hopeful, and we made an appointment for that weekend.
I dropped it off Saturday AM and spent the next couple of hours biting my nails, but was overwhelmed with the work they did. It looked shinier and cleaner then it did when I bought it, and the spots were totally gone! It's like a small miracle, and I left with a HUGE smile on my face.
Like I said, I plan on only bringing our cars here. They clearly take a lot of pride in their business, and it shows in the care they gave to both of our cars. I'll never make the mistake of "touchless" again... get it done right, by professionals, the first time. It's worth it!
