    Going thru the conqueror wash
    Iris T.

    Sunny day means time to wash off the grime. This place is awesome and really clean. You can see the employees unclogging vacuums and emptying our trash bins. Highly efficient car wash even when it is crowded. I love that the vacuums have great suction power. You can purchase tiny towels for (I believe $3), but I like to bring my own microfiber cloths to sop up any water droplets

    Damage to car hood
    Jim S.

    (Edited to add that I'm finally putting this review in now because they have started sending me spam emails and texts again, obviously I requested, as I would never go back there. If they damage your car, you'll almost certainly have to get a lawyer to get them to take care of it and they know you can't sue for court costs in KS, so assume most people won't waste the money on the lawyer and just go away.) I can't stand it when people leave hyperbolic reviews on yelp. In general, I typically either just assume they have something personal against the place or our unreasonable in their expectations. That said, if I could give a negative star review to anywhere I've ever been or establishment I have been a patron of, it would 100% be this specific Tommy's express. I had monthly memberships for both my wife and myself for over two years when I decided to take my brand new car there to get washed on the way home from work. A large truck in front of me clearly had a rock come off it and get stuck to one of the hanging pieces that swish back-and-forth. When going through the car wash the rock not only scratched the hood of my car, all the way over the top and onto the trunk lid, but actually hit in the front of the hood with enough force to dent the metal and go all the way through the clearcoat, the paint, and down to bare metal. This was a two month old BMW 850. I noticed the damage immediately, took timestamp pictures, and contacted the car wash. Initially, the manager working at the time, seemed very reasonable, and simply asked me to send them pictures of the damage. I had to recontact Them multiple times before I even got a response a few weeks later after sending the pictures. They wanted me to bring the car up for them to look at it again, again having me wait and recontact them multiple times before getting any response. Eventually, I was told that they reviewed the video of my arrival to the car wash and leaving the car wash and it was not present on arrival or departure. when I asked to be shown the video they told me someone would contact me so they could have me come up and watch it. Again, I received no contact back from them until I contacted them multiple more times. The damage was over $2000 to be fixed. I know these types of places carry insurance for this very purpose. I also understand that sometimes things happen that are not necessarily within the control of a business. All I was asking was for them to submit it to their insurance to get my brand new car fixed from what was something that was very clearly from their car wash. The pattern of the scratch over the hood, and all the way onto the trunk even followed the back and forth swishing pattern of the hanging pieces of fabric. I am sure they figured someone with a car that cost that much wouldn't be willing to go to the effort of continuing to push to get them to do the right thing. I'm not that person. It required me getting a lawyer which cost almost as much as getting the car fixed was going to cost to get them to even submit it to their insurance. I then had to deal with their insurance adjuster multiple more times before they finally gave me a check to pay for the damages. I would not recommend anybody use this car wash unless you want to have your car damaged. Additionally, if you are going to utilize it, I'd strongly recommend taking a full video of your car right before you pull into line and check very closely with timestamp videos as soon as you get out of the car wash. Since that time I've told everyone I know not to use them and had multiple people tell me they have also gotten their vehicle damaged there, though none as much as my car was. They never did give me access to the videos they claimed showed the car having no damage on departure and I'm sure finally agreed to settle because it was evident on the video and they knew it was going to be subject to discovery when I took them to court over it. This was March of 2020, so I suppose they could have changed ownership since then and have someone ethical owning it now, as it was pretty obvious the owner was making the decisions about trying to just keep ignoring me and lying about the videos, but this was the singular most unprofessional interaction I've ever had with a business in my life. See pics attached of the obvious damage. Note, the entire roof of my car was glass, so there wasn't scratch on the roof, but you can clearly see it up the hood and then on the trunk lid as well.

    Love this!

    Is it possible to LOVE a car wash? OMG, I feel so shallow by loving this place but I was bowled over. I had to pick up a friend and her 2 children and I wanted my car to be sparkly clean. I do not live in this area and did not know much about the car wash situation in Johnson County. I only knew where I did not want to go and that is Waterways. I remember seeing this interesting looking building on a trip to town and decided to give it a try. WOW. Sure glad I did. There are many different lanes depending on which wash package you are getting and how you are paying. It certainly made the line quick and easy. I also purchased a Clean Car kit for $5.00 which was quite the bargain. It contained a rag, two window washing sheets, a car smell tree, and an Armor all wipe. Great bargain for $5.00. I purchased the top dollar wash and it was so easy. Nothing touches your car. Nothing except for soft, fluffy brushes. The car is on a conveyor belt thing and you just zip zip through. The best part is that my car looked better than it has ever looked. It was all shiny and show-room bright. One incredible perk is that they have FREE vacuums. Not only are they free but they are set up in a way that you do not have to move your car or re-park to get the hose to fit. You park between two hoses so you have one for drivers side and one for passengers side. These vacuums are not for wimps, either. The vacuums were very powerful. There was plenty of room to navigate and get your floor mats out. Perfect set up. If that weren't enough, a very nice attendant gave me a coupon for a free drink at the eCafe next door. What a treat! The only reason I did not give Tommy's 5 stars is that before I went here, I downloaded the IOS app. There was some glitch and I accidentally signed up for the $21 monthly package. Yes, it was my fault but the app was designed in such a way that it was not very clear what you were signing up for. I thought it was an app that you could pre-pay or pay with a bar code or something- like the Starbucks app. I did not realize when I gave them my credit card that I was actually signing up for a monthly membership. I emailed corporate but heard nothing back from them. When I went to this location, the attendant at the window was very nice and she and her manager fixed it for me. If they change the app, I will gladly give them the 5 stars. Squeaky clean, great service, free vacuums and coupons. Tommy's is the real deal.

Charlie's Car Wash provides me a consistent, top-notch level of service each time I come by. Sure, I could do the wash myself, but when time is an issue and I'm going to get the same result, I will pay for the convenience factor. I signed up for one of the unlimited monthly wash plans ($40-ish) and I have absolutely gotten my money's worth out of that contract. I just pull up to the gate, the system recognizes my license plate and pulls up my options, and I drive right over to the entryway. The whole process takes maybe one minute from entry to exit. If I want extras, such as a hand detail, then I am given an option to tag that on to my overall order. The vacuums are free, they are easy to pull into, and there's always one open. You can always add a hand-detail option for $25-ish and I'd bet you would be very pleased with the level of detailed service that is provided! I know that some people can be finicky about who touches their car, but I feel pretty safe that my sweet ride gets treated carefully and mindfully each and every time. No fuss, no muss, and everyone is always friendly. Maybe a monthly subscription isn't in your range, but it's a deal if you are going weekly or more (like me) and gets my full seal of recommendation. Either way, Charlie's treats you right and delivers excellent service and value.

There were scratches on my car, trimming on my vehicle melted and was somehow pulled from its original place.

That said, those first couple times, there's quite the "system" to understand and get used to. They have employees who come to help out with what type of wash you want, and they do a good job of assisting with all aspects. The wash itself is really good! You can really get just about anything from a bare-bones exterior-only wash, all the way up to a full detail, inside and out! To make your money back on the full-monty membership, you'll need to get a weekly full detail wash, and we try pretty hard to do that.

Not sure I'd say I feel like I'm getting MORE than what I'm paying for...and it's probably slightly the other way.
