Compared to other car washes I've been to, this location felt a bit slower in processing the line, which could use some improvement. That said, the free vacuum area was super handy, especially for clearing out some trash I'd been putting off. I do wish the summer hours were extended a bit; it gets dark late, and it'd be nice to swing by after dinner. Overall, not bad just a few tweaks could make it much better. JY review

1 Star - Extremely disappointing experience…read more I had a very frustrating experience at the Brown Bear Car Wash location on Auburn Way S next to McDonald's and Domino's in Auburn. Before entering the wash, I pulled aside and spoke with one of the attendants because my vehicle had some pre-existing cosmetic damage on the front bumper. I wanted to be responsible and confirm that it would still be safe to go through the wash. The attendant looked at the bumper, reassured me that it should be fine, and one of the attendants even offered and placed blue tape on it before directing me forward. Based on that reassurance from staff, I proceeded through the wash. While inside the wash, it suddenly felt like my car may have come off track or run over something. I briefly had to switch gears because it felt like something had gone underneath the vehicle. At the time I did not know what had happened and assumed one of the cleaning cloths may have caught something. After exiting the wash, I pulled aside and spoke with Oscar, one of the attendants. He was the one who informed me that my bumper had come off during the wash and he went to retrieve it for me. From what I later understood, it appears the bumper detached near the air blowers toward the end of the wash. Oscar helped me submit a claim, and I later spoke with supervisor Dwayne at the location, who documented everything and said management would review the situation. Over the following days I repeatedly called for updates and was told several times that the manager was not available or not in. It took approximately three to four days before I was finally contacted and able to discuss the situation with the claims department and management, including Jack Halsey and Omar M. Despite the fact that their staff looked at the vehicle, taped the bumper, and reassured me it should be fine to proceed, the company ultimately denied responsibility and compensation while pointing to signage stating vehicles enter at their own risk. The issue with that response is simple. I did not just drive into the wash without asking. I specifically pulled aside to ask their staff for guidance first. Their attendants evaluated the vehicle, assisted with taping the bumper, and directed me forward into the wash. As a customer, it is reasonable to rely on the judgment of employees who are operating the wash and actively guiding vehicles using the directional paddles that signal when to move forward, stop, or place the vehicle in neutral. The damage from this incident is now estimated to cost several thousand dollars in repairs. I'm simply asking Brown Bear to take a fair and honest look at what happened. When a customer asks your staff for guidance and your staff reassures them and allows the vehicle to proceed, that responsibility should not simply be dismissed afterward. I hope Brown Bear chooses to review this situation again and do the right thing.

This car wash was under construction for the longest time but now it's open. I didn't want to use self-service so I tried the touchless car wash. Fancy. One thing I learned is that if you're in line and there's a car in front of you getting washed keep your windows up because you'll get backwash mist. Pffft, pffft, pffft. Blech! Go through the payment process after they leave the tunnel. I got the Beary Clean. Once in the tunnel it was like an EDM concert with all the colorful lights flashing. Water pressure was pretty good. Blow dry was weak. Their front lot had enough space to park and do a walk around inspection + detail as needed so that was nice. They didn't have fresh yellow towels so bring your own or buy some blue ones at the vending machine. They also sell the Brown Bear air fresheners. They're so cute. I know my fellow locals on the road when I see the yellow bear on their rear view mirrors :)

I made my appointment 2 weeks prior so the fact that I wasn't made aware of this fee until the night before the service is crazy. I opted to cancel my appointment all together, I'm not a fan of how they manage their business. I'm also super disappointed that the gift my husband was so excited for won't happen until I can find someone else to detailed his truck - hopefully someone more reliable.
