    Last time here because paying $15 to wash your car is wild. Too bad because it's one of the only car washes in the downtown area.

    Obviously good advice.  Can't have people leaving with their wands and hoses on display.

    One of the better working diy car washes in town. Clean, stuff works, not cheap but no surprises on the timers and rates.

    Arrived at about 10:30am on a Friday morning with a car absolutely covered in bird poop. Free metered parking but under the wrong tree. YUCK! Checked Yelp for the closest car wash and away I went, slowly...because I could barely see out of the windshield. *gross Tokens. You need to buy tokens. There is a machine to give you change if you have a $10 or a $5. After $5 of scrubbing and washing my car was still in need of attention. Ugh. Here's where the 3/5 stars come in: There is no attendant on site. Okay, I get it. It's just a self-service type of place but I needed help. There are directions next to the car wash tools: turn the dial get the soap kind of thing. There is a drive through option as well. Glad I didn't select that because I don't think it would have made a dent in the poop situation on my car. I don't think I'll choose this option next time.

    My first experience at Orbit was a mixed bag. The place had been recommended to me as an in-and-out, cheaper alternative to the endless lines or waits at more traditional full-service car washes, so I gave it a shot. Overall, the experience was chaotic and confusing. I pulled in on a Saturday (my first mistake) when they are apparently at peak traffic hours. The small lot was not designed for the amount of cars entering from any given direction on two side streets. I very quickly learned there was a lot of confusion around who was waiting for what stall to do the next wash, resulting in several horn-blasting, profanity-laced altercations. When I did pull into the stall, it was definitely a learn-as-you-go experience. Swipe a card, a meter starts running and then get to scrubbing and spraying. I was confused because there was soap that comes out of the spray hose, but there is also a soap scrub brush on the opposite wall that I only learned of when I was almost through. The meter capped out at $10, meaning I had to run my card again to finish off my SUV, all while other cars sat impatiently like sharks in shallow waters. There were also signs saying "15 minutes only" which was barely enough time to finish the process. All in all, it wasn't much cheaper, my car really didn't get cleaned thoroughly due to my lack of knowledge of the system, and it was too busy to enjoy the experience. I may come back and opt for the drive-thru car wash or try this again on a less busy weekday, but I'm in no rush.

    Do it yourself!

They had my window replacement ordered first thing the next morning, kept me informed every step of the way, and had my car back to me the next day--looking absolutely flawless. What truly sets them apart is how much they care. This wasn't just a transaction--they treated me like family. The quality of their work is top-tier, their communication is seamless, and their turnaround time is unmatched. They're also amazing supporters of our local community, and it shows in how they do business. I will 100% be a lifelong customer and will recommend them to anyone who wants their car in the best hands!

We go off road, take the dogs, load in muddy hiking gear, wet ski gear, plants from the nursery, etc. I decided to give the Subi some love and took her to Hayes for full detail. I cannot get over how nice my car looks- just like the day I drove her home from the dealership. I chose the Silver Detail which did both interior and exterior detail. I did have to leave my car overnight due to how busy they are but it was well worth the time - Every single hair from two golden retrievers was gone, all the spilled coffee in the center console erased, mud, gravel, leaves and all traces of the great outdoors are no longer being carried around with me. I will definitely be doing this on an annual basis moving forward.

    We visited this Quick Quack Car Wash over the weekend since we were in the area getting gas at…read moreCostco. There was no line so we were greeted quickly and in and out in no time. My husband pays for their monthly membership which is always convenient - they just scan the license plate and you go on through. I'm not sure how much he pays for the membership, but you can go as many times as you want - every day, once a week, twice a week! I like seeing the different colors that display across your windshield and sometimes you can see the Quick Quack logo. Overall, if you're looking for a fast car wash, Quick Quack Car Wash does the job - they also offer free vacuums as well. So it's nice to get the car washed and then clean the inside as well. My daughter usually helps so we make it a family event! We'll be back soon!

    Headline: It's a duck!…read more Tried a Quick Quack Car Wash for the first time...my thoughts below: Location: should a weird area to navigate especially at night. Entrance to shopping center not well lit and it seems like people have hit the corner. As far entrance to the carwash, it was right next to the exit and honestly it felt like I was going the wrong way and not very well marked. Tight space including for vacuums and parking so be aware for larger cars. Service: The service person was very attentive and talkative. Tried selling me on the membership which I don't care much for. Still he provided information but not sure the personal touch adds more beyond a kiosks utility. Value: Pricy compared to the cheaper touchless car washes around gas stations. The car I had taken was not mine and had not been washed in awhile. As we went through the machine there was not a good prewash. At some others I enjoyed the focus on pre washing and catching the stubborn stains. The wash was surprisingly quick which wasn't a positive. Results: It was alright. Pricy for the work that was performed and seems like I could have gotten better results at a touchless for cheaper. However I do LOVE the wipes they have in the cleaning area. I was able to get a lot of those stains off myself but there was still soap and grime all over the car. Overall, it was an alright experience but loved the towels at the end!
