I realize my last review was 9 years ago for Crew Car Wash, but clearly in 9 years things have…read morechanged in my perspective.
Now this place is like McDonald's. They are running on auto pilot and collecting the cash. They have a corner on the market a bit with location and history of being in this spot. Get in line, hand over your money, be on your way.
Now it appears that the price I noted 9 years ago was $19 and this time my car wash was $18, so that says something. And then $2 for 8 minutes of self-vacuuming.
When I return home to detail the inside further myself, the outside windows remain smudged and dirty. Upon closer inspection, this is when I noticed how dirty the outside of my car remained. I understand a drive-thru car is not a hand wash job and it cannot get everything. But my car was dirty before and remained so after...noticeably.
My new rating of a 2 is because my car remained filthy....full stop.
There are so many employees out front of Crew Car Wash when I am there, taking money and getting you properly on the conveyor belt. Like noticeably a lot. Some of those employees could be better utilized with a bucket of suds and a scrub brush to simply brush down those spots on your front bumper/headlights and tailgate a bit before a car enters the conveyor belt. Nothing too labor intensive. In Vegas and elsewhere where I regularly have cars washed, this is standard. It would have probably gotten off a chunk of the dirt, bugs, grime that remained on my vehicle and thus not warranted a 2 on Yelp. I know, life is about managing expectations and clearly I need to lower them here at Crew Car Wash.
Maybe even some of those employees doing a bit of drying on the tail end would be nice. People like me provide tips for stuff like that and this would catch the window smudges I am talking about that were real bad.
Again, lots of staff up front that could be a bit nicer upon taking my money, but indeed the service quality needs to be much improved. All show, but no dice. Not sure I am returning anytime soon.
