These beasts are going the way of the dinosaur, or at least that's what my grandpa used to say. Finding a good high pressure wash coin-op car wash is getting harder each day. Not sure why they all seem to be going the way of the Dodo bird (thanks Gramps), but for those of you that enjoy a clean cement stall, with brushes and wands that work and water pressure that is good, then I've got the spot for you.
Relatively hidden, yet not too far from some main roads, rests the green face of Sparkle. Five big clean stalls, with working gear, the usual washing choices (soapy brush, anyone?) and lots of water pressure make washing a snap. Their parking lot is a little tight, not sure how something really big would get thru, but there are some nice drying spots behind the wash stalls for the rest of us. The overall space is clean and uncluttered and the neighbourhood offers lots of street parking.
READER: (thinking) It seems like he really likes the place, I wonder why he only gave them four stars.
I'll tell you why, they don't accept quarters. nope, just your plastic credit cards or paper money, no coins. no tokens even. Or as my Grandpa says, "This is the future, if quaint little washing stalls like these make it to the future." read more
