    Big and new car wash. Buy a membership for all the washes you need per car. Or go inside for a one-time wash. With a barcode sticker on your windshield you can drive right thru for a good wash using the plastic and felt-like brushes. Then you can drive around to a large garage to vacuum your car or to dry off your car. Bring your rag cloths. 3 stars: We were surprised to see the self drying and vacuuming because where we live students do those services for you as part of your membership. Overall, this is a very nice car wash.

    In February I took my car through Waterway to have a car wash as the salt at that time of year is very corrosive. I followed all instruction given by the associate and the car wash it self. After having a relatively normal experience, I noticed after getting home that there were a multitude of scratches on my car that were not there prior to the wash. I contacted the business and arranged the meet when the GM was there a few days later. I documented the attached pictures immediately after the car wash. I filled out a report with the GM who was unusually skeptical about the damage his car wash did and wanted me explain to him why his car wash damaged my vehicle. He told me he would contact me the next day with a decision and I never was months later. Go to a touch less car wash. Or just take a rock and scratch it yourself, you'll have the same result.

    This car wash does not fix their own mistakes. First car the vehicle emblem fell off. The other two vehicles have clear distinct marks and were washed within minutes of each other in the same line. Both have horizontal and vertical lines. GM says they are not responsible for the vertical ones. There brushes only brush horizontal however he assures me that his car wash did not do the horizontal ones either. Interesting both cars are the same. Not a happy camper here.

    I just bought my first brand new truck a week ago so proud of myself. I decided to wash it after the salt to get it off. However, all over my vehicle now is deep scratches was told by a body shop. My whole truck has to be repainted. Very difficult to get in contact with someone to pay for the damages. The guy who took the damage report was very arrogant and rude. Says he's been working there for six years. Kind of makes you wonder why he can't do anything else also manager try to say they didn't cause damages. However, this is a brand new truck less than a week old definitely considering a lawsuit if this regional manager does not get in contact with me very soon

    We got a nail in our tire from this car wash, the alley is the only exit but they said it's not their fault. Do not go here

    I really wish I could give this place a better rating as the concept of a quick manual hand wash is…read moreappealing as so many automated places miss key spots or don't reach parts of my smaller and probably a bit low riding car. Unfortunately, while service was fast and the attendants were friendly, I rate a car wash primarily on the wash itself. While I did appreciate that the guys did clean the inside of my car and did a fairly good job, the outside left quite a bit of even dust I suspect came from some of the towels they used to dry the car. There were also a few areas that needed a bit more attention. I want to try this place again as again being a manual car wash - this could just have been a bad experience but at minimum this place has some advantages as a manual car wash, but also disadvantages as they aren't always consistent in their quality. Bottom line - I can't bring myself to recommend this place because my one data point resulted in an inconsistent clean. However, being a manual wash that cleans outside and in, it might be worth a try if you're in the area.

    My go to car wash on Pearl and Brook Park had closed, so I was looking for a place that would do…read moreboth hand wash plus a basic interior vacuum along with window wipe down. I'm very glad that I learned about this place on yelp because the guys working here are amazing. One of them hoses down the car and a couple more do the hand wash while you remain in the vehicle (no tire rail, just standard garage floor). Then you advance the car forward and get out while they vacuum and do the windows. They also cleaned the dash and even some section of the door jams. (I had tipped pretty well ahead of time). They are thorough! My car looked almost as if it had been detailed! And this was 9 for the wash and 4 for the inside and then a tip. It is cash only....highly recommended.
