There are four car washes in this city that I frequent regularly. They all have their pros and cons. One does a fairly decent job, the waiting area is nice and clean, and the employees actually wear UNIFORMS, BUT they're just a little overpriced (IMO), and the cashier has a stinky attitude and - because I have to break all the speed limits to get there before they close - it's just not worth wanting to punch someone out because they're snarky; another is convenient because it's on the way home and they do a fairly decent job; I actually LIKE their cashier, and their waiting area is super clean. BUT too often I have to check behind their guys to make sure they did a good job before I dole out the tip, and I don't think they quite understand that it's not a good idea to clean the windshield with the same cloth used to shine the tires (smears, galore ; / ). And yet another does a fantastic job for the money (which is steep), and maybe it's psychological, but my car practically purrrs after I get it cleaned there. BUT their waiting area is the size of a postage stamp, seating is very limited, and chivalry is dead. All of that leads me to Xtra Klean. They aren't exactly on my way home (just a little out of the way). Their waiting area is a little shabby and wreaks of the loudest of loud, obnoxious, fruit-scented (???) air freshener....BUT, they are very affordable (the better to leave a more generous tip), and the staff and proprietor are super-friendly and respectful. The guy who cleans your car takes his time, so be prepared to wait. If you can stand the waiting area, there's tv, but there's also seating outside if you're about that life, and if the weather is favorable. read more
