WARNING
Do Not Buy Car Wash
Especially at 615pm in my case
I was filling my tank and got the option to get a car wash. Well the car needed it and I had time so I pushed "YES" so I PAID the $9 bucks.
Unfortunately, when I finished filling the tank, pulled forward, and tried to enter the car wash---NO CAN DO
Orange Cones, Signs, a parked car all announcing that the car wash was CLOSED
So I went inside. No attendant in the store. So I waited. 5 min? 7 min?
The attendant returned. "I was closing the car wash" Well, that makes sense. No problem, I understand. You had to close the car wash and I by chance had unfortunate timing. Just refund the $9 and I will be on my way
NO CAN DO. The attendant was very nice and really wanted to help me. Unfortunately, only a manager can give the refund. My options: Return another day in the next two weeks for a car wash or a refund (if manager appears)
So
COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT
The system has a kink. If you see time as money, you do not want to get stuck in this kink
Better to get a car wash somewhere that has a work around for kinks
And I am hoping the manager reads this and provides some kink relief
The attendant did his best.
I doubt I am the first to pay $9 for a 20 minute time delay and a new task on my to do list
I decided to post this when, after I shared with my wife, she replied that the same thing had happened to her. Well, she told me a little late
I hope I am providing a helpful service to you before you find the kink on your own time.
NEXT DAY
I went back this morning at 945am to use my car wash code paid for last night
NO CAN DO
The orange cones, the signs, and the blocking parked cars were all in place.
What I did not see, was a sign indicating the OPEN hours. read more
