So off to this do-it-yourself place we went. It costs $1 per minute to use the sprayers, so you need to work quickly. The machine takes bills (but doesn't give change) and cards. We were to afraid to swipe our card in this outdoor machine, so we paid $10 for 8 minutes of the sprayer. We followed the instructions on which spray cycles to use (it's very simple and self-explanatory using their signage). We didn't come equipped with towels, which would've been ideal, but no matter. Our car still got clean for the most part, and it was with the $10. We will use this option again, but will bring towels next time. Note that the auto dryer is out of service. They also have vacuums you can use for a fee (we didn't).

I had the front side windows tinted to match the rear windows, and a light tint placed on the windshield to reduce UV rays and IR damage. The windshield tint is not noticeable and seems to be a common aftermarket installation; particularly in areas that get a lot of sun. During a very warm month of March, it seemed like it kept the interior cooler, putting less strain on the A/C. Gabe also applied PPF over the front of the vehicle and tailgate as well as door cups. It's nice knowing these surfaces are protected from rocks, and anything that could chip the paint. A lifetime ceramic coating was placed over the top of everything to promote a lasting shine and protection for all surfaces. This is the third vehicle that Gabe has provided this service for me, and he always does a great job. High attention to detail, dependable timelines and a fair price. His new shop in Marina is very nice and reflects his quality oriented business.

Coming out of the rainy season I felt it was time to give Swift another try so bought a different car down to try. I won't bore you with my opinions but simply post a few pictures from around the car straight after it came out of Swift and I got it home to inspect the results (dry roads, no flies, you can see from the front spoiler it's still wet from the return). I've been told the results vary with auto car washes based on the speed the car goes through the tunnel and also the length of the tunnel.. The slower the cleaner, the longer the cleaner.. Whatever the issue with Swift I'd recommend for dust but save your money if your car is dirty, a scout troop could have done a better job ! I'm now off to finish the job I just paid someone else for ! Once is an anomaly, twice is a pattern !

They need to stop taking advantage of people's hard working money. Oh you responded within 10 minutes because I left a bad review! How about answer your phone or return a phone call within 10 minutes?????? Don't get upset because you are practicing BAD business. Have you seen how many negative reviews you have on the internet.

I went through the car wash, but it also seemed to be non-operable. Long story short, the employee on shift refused to issue a refund and was ridiculously aggressive. She had no name badge and would not provide any contact information. I stepped outside the store and contacted 7-11 customer service while she proceeded to yell things at me from inside the store. She continued to escalate, so I went to my car while I waited on the phone with customer service. She then came outside and took a picture of my license plate. At this point, I gladly called the police. The officer was familiar with her from PREVIOUS incidents - VANESSA apparently has a problem playing nice with others, but 'I got lucky because the employee on the next shift is even worse.' This was resolved with a free car wash coupon, which I had no interest in using. Do better 7-11.
