As far as self-serve car wash places go, this is one of the cleanest places around. I've been to Sparkle numerous times and the place always has at least one attendant that is clearing/cleaning out the wash bay, nearly after every use.
There is a single entry door and inside there are 9-10 bays. Each of the wash bays are wide, and each bay has all the same equipment, wash wand, foam brush, dryer and vacuum.
I have two gripes about Sparkle and one is not something they can control. This place is good and it's popular. Try going at peak times and you are definitely waiting. The other gripe is the price. Min $2 to start and that buys you 4 mins. Every dollar there after buys you 2 mins. If you have a large vehicle or it takes a while to clean, up go the mins and the dollars.
To get a proper soap, foam brush, rinse, I'm usually in for $10-$14, and sometimes as high as $16, depending on my speed and the grime on my car.
The nice thing, I've never stepped in some other cars slop. Keep up the cleanliness Sparkle, and I'll keep coming back. read more
