01/09/2023 UPDATE - NOTE: This business is now known as WHITEWATER EXPRESS CAR WASH…read more After visiting this business, I headed home and while things were fresh in my mind, I wrote the review below as well as made comment on a contact form on the Corporate Website. Now, believe me, or not. But my Yelp motto "NO FAKE NEWS AND/OR REVIEWS" is accurate. My visit on the 7th did not go well as originally noted below. What was impressive in EVERY sense of the word, was that within 2 hours on Saturday the 7th, I received a phone call from the Area Director for Michigan and Ohio Whitewater locations to discuss the situation. We agreed to talk this morning and I spent 20 minutes with him discussing the situation. He candidly shared quite a bit of information that I had no way of knowing prior to this call. I appreciate his candor, customer service attitude, and wanting to "do the right thing." No, I did NOT get a free coupon book or anything of the kind to update this review. Just a commitment that they will try better next time. Taking over an existing business is rough and then undertaking a complete rebranding of the same is even harder. But if you can't serve the customer in the process, well....... Personally, I will watch for some progress with the things he mentioned and then I will perhaps visit the business once again. It would be inappropriate to mention some of the plans that he told me about; I will leave that to their marketing/social media people. But I was a bit impressed. There you go - continuing to provide YELP users with the most accurate reviews that I can offer. Sorry for the length of this read. Thanks. ========================================================= 01/07/2023 NOTE: This carwash is now known as WHITEWATER EXPRESS CAR WASH Normally, I wash my car myself - either in the driveway or at one of the two fairly decent self-serve car washes here in Adrian. Today, it was 32° out, I really wanted to get a "couple of the layers of dirt" off quickly and I had other things that I needed to do. SO MANY things wrong - I will NOT be returning to this business and I STRONGLY recommend that you do not do business here either. 1.) The person at the booth helped with the self-pay (I didn't get close enough to the kiosk.) Sometimes grey hair works to one's advantage! -smile- A nice guy with great customer service skills. But he was the only bright spot in the visit. 2.) As you pull in towards the entry door, you can see two guys working the "pre-wash" application and initial pressure-wash wand. The younger guy on the passenger side seemed to be doing pretty well. But you could see him watching the guy on the driver's side with a look of disdain on his face. I soon learned why. 3.) The guy on the driver's side was INCREDIBLY rude. Yelling to hurry up (sorry, as I approach the guide rails, I actually LIKE my wheels and avoid rubbing them.) And then he gave a "2-second squirt" of the pre-wash and caught maybe 6 feet on the side of my Jeep Grand Cherokee with the wand. A complete waste of his effort, time, and money. 4.) Then I realize that they use carpet "strips" in the wash bay. When the car is dirty (and with poor prep in the pre-wash) it is a guaranteed way to scratch paint. 5.) The paving at the exit ramp (oh, the dryers were ok) is sloped INTO to wash and leaves a puddle...to drive your "clean" car through. AND it is a pot-hole city several times a year. 6.) The pricing is INCREDIBLY expensive for what you receive. I relocated here from Los Angeles and the prices charged here are, in many scenarios, more expensive than a typical LA car wash and the service is much worse. BOTTOM LINE: don't...just don't...

Leave Bell Ford Adrian again and curiously door locks won't work! Three months+ and almost $3,000, all the service manager would defensively offer is "it's an old car". No acceptance on possibility or accountability for repairs needed ($$$) after accepting car for original power drain issue. ~$3,000 and still have defective power door locks and yes, power drain dead battery issue returned! Beware of Bell Ford Adrian's suspect service for what the service manager called "money churning" ($$$)!!!
