    The Wave Car Wash - Capitol

    DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH. They will damage your vehicle and then refuse to pay for it…read more I took my 2017 vehicle--pristine inside and out, meticulously maintained--through The Wave on Whitman Lane for a routine wash. The driver-side mirror cover was factory-original, never disassembled, never repaired, zero bodywork ever performed on the mirror or surrounding area. It was exactly as it left the assembly line. Their blower ripped the mirror cover clean off, snapping one of the three plastic mounting tabs that secure it. That tab is now permanently broken and unusable--leaving the cover held by only two tabs (a 33% loss in holding strength). At first, the manager seemed reasonable. He asked for a repair estimate, which I promptly provided from a reputable local body shop. Once I did, the excuses began: * They questioned the estimate's validity. * They demanded I go back to the shop for clarification on the OEM mirror that was being sourced. * I did exactly that. The shop revised the quote to address the concern. Then, radio silence--followed by a cowardly email claiming they're not liable because "the mirror cover came off in the blower," implying my car had "prior damage" or "previous work." They have zero evidence for this. The mirror was untouched since new. They're fabricating excuses to dodge responsibility. Now I'm out over $800 for a repair that should've been 100% on them. Worse: * The cover now has 33% less holding power. * That means a 33% higher chance of it detaching in any future car wash. * I can no longer use any automated car wash--including theirs--without risking further damage. Their equipment is clearly too aggressive for modern vehicles, yet they refuse to stand behind the damage it causes. This isn't an isolated incident; a quick search shows others have had mirrors, antennas, and trim destroyed here with the same runaround. Unacceptable. Dishonest. Dangerous. I will never return, and I'm demanding a full refund for the unused washes on my membership cards. I'll be taking this to small claims if needed. Save your car. Save your money. Avoid The Wave.

    Came back from driving in California's farmland, so I had a lot of bugs to wash off the front of…read moreour car. Came here and they had a Tuesday special, $2 off for Ladies Day and you get chocolate (two Hershey's kisses, but whatever, chocolate is chocolate, lol). Got the basic wash and they did a great job. Sometimes when you go to a car washes like this, you have to go through twice because they miss a spot, but they didn't let me go through the rollers until they scrubbed every surface. Love their thoroughness and they are also a lot cheaper than The Wave, so I'll definitely be coming here for all my car wash needs.
