Beware of Manager Brandon! Yesterday, as I was entering the car wash; one of the men broke my…read moreInfiniti emblem when scrubbing the front. One of the gentlemen, (who I later found out was the manager)first alerted me the emblem broke and he would try to repair. After 5 min and a long line, he brought the emblem to me stating it was broken before I got there. I knew then something was up; it wasn't broke before I arrived. When I got through the wash, I parked in a stall and quickly realized the emblem was in fact broke in a way that it is impossible for it to have been previously broken; both clips were gone. I then asked for a manager to make an incident report. The manager Brandon then walked up defensively, stating the company would not pay for it because it was previously broken. I advised him that the cameras will confirm all information and to please initiate an incident report. Brandon gave me the hardest time, rude and condescending. Even asked for my personal address!!! Then walked off without saying anything. I waited for at least 15 more minutes and he refused to give me a copy or an acknowledgement of the report. I had to record a video to ensure the validity of the claim. I am quite shocked that he was choose to represent Tidal Wave. Lacked empathy and general customer service. Will not be back to this location until this is rectified. UPDATE!!! Brandon called me back stating the video shows my emblem was upside down when entering the car wash, so they will not repair it. Mr Brandon, regardless of the position of the emblem (which is hard to believe was upside down), it was connected to MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO COMING TO TIDAL WAVE. I'm shocked that corporate would allow the same rude and condescending man to be the one to resolve this issue??? Come on folks.../.

Disclaimer: This review reflects my personal experience and opinions…read more On Friday, December 12, 2025, I visited Charlie's Car Wash in Independence, Missouri, to wipe down my car mats using towels. A manager whom I had previously worked with about seven years earlier explained that spray bottles could not be taken outside due to company policy, but that towels were permitted. I followed those instructions by taking only two towels outside and returning them immediately afterward. During the interaction, the manager repeatedly asked where I currently work and mentioned that we had worked together years ago. In my perception and personal opinion, those questions did not seem related to the policy being discussed and made me feel uncomfortable. Based on my personal perception and prior experiences, I left the interaction feeling uneasy and concerned about why my current employment was being discussed. I cannot speak to the manager's intentions, but the repeated questioning made me uncomfortable enough that I decided to share my experience. I hope management encourages interactions that stay focused on the service being provided so customers do not leave feeling similarly uncomfortable.

This is a smaller carwash than most, but please don't be deceived. I put them up with the best of 'um! They are located in south Kansas City & I've literally traveled ALL over the place for a 'worth it' carwash. Many have disappointed. I've been to the biggest & newest & the oldest & not-so-appealing ones, but this place is excellent, I kid you not. I am big on seeing my teeth shine through my car & I want the tires the same. I must say, it has rained & rained again & my tires are STILL shining. I don't know what product or system is used, but I am one happy camper for this. Out of ALL the carwashes in the two Kansas Cities, they have my vote for tire shine. The carwash is just as great & I appreciate that no matter how long I stay away, when I return I can count on the same outstanding quality & the fair bang for my buck makes my wallet sing! Thanks for appreciating your customers & offering weekly specials & 'happy hour'! Whoever heard of such? Maybe I'm late, but I'm grateful just the same. Way to compete NuShine...hometown proud!
