    I had driven by this car wash many times before finally trying it out. It's nice to have one in downtown Birmingham so I decided to give them a shot. It was a very weird car experience if I'm being honest. When I got in line to go in, I normally drive onto the ramp and put my car in neutral, my car was not going forward. I kept trying with no luck so I ended up having to drive in the car wash myself. I didn't like that I couldn't see the car in front of me and could barely see the car behind me. It seemed like a possible safety issue if everyone has to drive through it and cannot clearly see in front of them. The cleaner itself didn't seem to be doing a good job with the final rinse. When I came out of the car wash, I saw so much soap still on my car. As I was vacuuming my car, it was drying, and eventually disappeared. The next day or two my car was very clean. Then all of a sudden all my windows and windshield started getting covered in dust and dirt. I suspect it's from the soap residue attracting small particles since it was not properly rinsed. The vacuums were working properly which I sometimes struggle with at other car washes. The floor mat cleaner was also not working which I usually encounter this problem at most other car washes lately too. Overall, I probably won't be coming back here unless the safety issue I mentioned is addressed.

    I've been double charged since May, there's no way to get in contact with anyone. I went to 2 Take 5 in the Birmingham Alabama area and no one knows anything... I've been reaching out for the past week nobody has called me back yet.. My next step will be small claims court...

    Look at all the dirt that is visible in this picture alone. Imagine what it looks like in person. After an $18 car wash

    Worst car wash ever! $18 for nothing. No going through a second time or anything. I was told I had to scrub my windshield twice and given excuses about how the state doesn't allow them to. Don't waste your time at this POS place!

    Very fast, efficient and free, untimed vacuums. Nice employees. Proper entrance-exit design for busy times.

    I like the express car wash. Save my time and make my car fresh again. Recommended. Also, it is affordable.

When I pulled up to the kiosk, their payment system was down and they had an employee standing there to accept payments and get people thru. Kudos to them for fixing the problem, but I don't love tapping my card onto an iPhone. Even if it's the company iPhone and not the employee's personal one, it lacks a little bit of trust from the consumer end. The car wash went fine, they offered me a little air freshener for inside. I rounded the corner to hit the vacuums, which were nearly full. Once I started cleaning my car, I noticed a piece of my side mirror missing. Ugh. I went up and told the guys at the front of the wash, and a couple minutes later one of them came back and snapped it back on. I do like the system they have for cleaning. They offer two kinds of spray bottles to clean glass and interiors with cloth rags. All in all, the problems I had which felt pretty major, were sufficiently fixed by the wonderful staff. Kudos to them!

Not A1 customer service one bit today, sorry for the 1 star rating but when the actual "manager" works he doesn't choose favorites he treats everyone equally with kindness and respect and offers a air freshener for the mirror which they didn't provide to anyone. Im not going to ask for what is supposed to be provided every time within getting a car wash.

Despite putting "self serve" in my search, I was directed to Mister Car Wash. Tracy was the employee that was standing at the entrance/pay station. He politely listened as I fussed about not wanting to pay $10 (their cheapest, basic option) when I knew it was going to rain tomorrow. "But if it doesn't rain HARD ENOUGH, I'll still have bird poop..." Tracy smiled and tolerated my fussing so politely. I was also greeted with a smile by the gentleman that guided me into the car wash. He sprayed Grace (my car's name), even after Tracy sprayed it for me. The car wash itself is really cool. It's like a car wash and a light show all in one! I see negative reviews but my first experience was great! Grace enjoyed her fancy bath.

I buy the cheap wash and cant get the interior done because it will be 1.5hrs but the girl still asks me to leave a tip to go though the tunnel and I still get tire shine on my tires and all down my car paint. Now I need to go somewhere else and have my car re-washed for $35 dollars plus the $16 I already spent because they need to have overpriced tire shine application machines in the tunnel instead of applying it by hand. So $51 dollars for car washes. I honestly can say I learned my lesson this time.
