I sometimes go to the do-it-yourself on this corner but today, a cooler day, I decided to treat myself to a drive through the car wash next door.
Last year I was appalled that they advertised a touchless carwash and the brushes are still touching when you go in. After you are done one or two people would hand towel the car dry and it would cost a tip on the end.
TODAY...I pulled up and, sun in my eyes, did not see the man waving me in as I pondered if I wanted the $7 or the $13 wash. He yelled "Come on" real loud. I saw the brushes ahead and two cars behind me. I said, "This is still not a touchless car wash is it? He replied gruffly, "No, it's not a touchless carwash, five dollars." I gave him $5 for the basic $4.95 wash and pulled in and winced as the rubber swatting brushes assaulted my car after he slathered soap all over my car with a long brush that scratched the back bumper. I cringed as a long stick of carpeting hit my windshield and hood over and over and prayed I would still have my antennae in the back when it was over. When I rolled out the other side, I had to put my wipers on because the vacuum/blower that usually rids the car of moisture was not functioning properly and, Lo and behold! No people with towels to dry the mess.
I got rid of the salt all over the car and now have all kinds of soapy streaks in spots that didn't air dry as I proceded on my errands.
This place stinks and I really want to report them for false advertising. read more
