Well I used to love this car wash BEFORE it was Ace Auto Wash. This place is near my house, & used to have lots of options, starting at $3 & they always hand dried. Well..first off the drive way/ parking lot has multiple lanes that make it very confusing to even know which lane you need to be in? They have kiosks at each lane so you can pick your options & pay through the machine. However there was an employee sitting outside who I asked "which lane?" He said "any" and came over & helped.
So.. prices now start at $6 as the cheapest. I usually go for cheapest because I typically get my car washed pretty often. So, I was disappointed with the prices. The guy who helped me offered a "$4 quick" something (I couldn't hear him but knew I wasn't paying anymore than $6! ) as an upgrade. Thankfully I didn't do the upgrade because I'm positive I would've been even more upset that I wasted $10!
Next, my car is done going through, & no one comes to dry my car off, even though I see the cart with towels out there. AND this is my 2nd time coming (I didn't realize prices my first visit because I went around the lanes (because it's so confusing!) and pulled up. That was a few weeks ago & I know they hand dried because I rolled down my window to tip. So- again I'm upset that for $6 you don't even get your car dried.. where last time it was dried?! BUT, in this instance I am so thankful that no one hand dried it. I cannot even imagine, with how dirty it still is- the scratches & damages that could've come from rubbing a towel over the dried dirt & dust! Ugh!! I can't even imagine!!!
But, the inconsistency alone is an issue. I guess you're not supposed to know what to expect?
Oh... now let's talk about how this was probably the worst car wash I have ever gotten!!! The guy who sprayed the car clearly half assed it & left big (AND OBVIOUS!) areas unsprayed. Literally 5 min after I get my car wash I am in a parking lot, stopped for errands & my car was still so dirty that it caught my eye immediately after I got out of my car. The whole backside /trunk still has dirt & dust.. all over! Then I start to walk around the car.. oh I got so irritated & upset! Clearly my tires & rims weren't even sprayed before I went through the car wash. Oh , it gets worse.. the inner fenders (where the tire is) completely untouched! There was still dried grass stuck all on the inside! They obviously didn't even attempt to spray the under carriage or tires. The whole car has dirt still on it everywhere! The mirrors, well they look like crap too.
I mean- what else can I say?! Everything about this experience was terrible. And let me just add that I do not mind paying a little more for a car wash if it's done right. Even if this car wash was $3 (minimum) it wasn't even worth that! I will never be back unless it changes owners again. And too bad for them , as I said I go quite often- they just lost a regular customer.
As many car washes that are around (there are 7 car washes within 5 miles of where I live) DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! Service wasn't that great & quality was the worse I've ever seen.
Just scroll through my (many!) pictures if you'd like to see how awful it was! read more
