    Nothing out of the ordinary about this particular Brown Bear Car Wash. It does a decent job on the car. I did find some pink washing soap on the car after everything had been washed, rinsed, and dried. So that was weird. The main problem I had was the credit card machine would not take my card until several attempts. There's a trick to it and I didn't know it. You have to leave your card in there for quite some time and then pull it out. But it doesn't signal you to do that. The car looks good with the top of the line car wash. They have a new Brown Bear Car Wash in Poulsbo which I like better than this one mainly because they have this really cool mirror that helps you guide your car onto the tracks. No more scraping noises against my tires as the attendant tries to guide me in.

    They'll take all denominations, plus credit cards. Pretty handy in a pinch!

    Used to come here on the regular for the automatic car wash. Since the price change, though (late last year, maybe?), the wash has lost some major juice. I don't know if it needs to get recalibrated, but the back of my car doesn't get cleaned at all: the road grime and nasty scum stay, if a bit more wet after the wash. I come with a dirty car, and I leave with a wet dirty car. Take those "Beary Best" $10 and go elsewhere.

    This the best Self-Service Car Wash around. They Do have one bay that has an Automatic Car Wash. In the Self-Service Bays, you can use Quarters one at a time if you just need a short amount of time, or $1 will get ya 2 minutes......... I always see staff attending to the grounds area, taking out trash or washing down mud in the bays. Always open and well lit at night. Plenty of Vacuums, even extra room to pull off to the side to dry your vehicle if needed. This is my "Go To" Carwash !!!

    This place is open 24 hours and though it is touchless, it really gets the car clean. Only.bummer is no packages can be purchased.

    It's a very good car wash area very clean and the drive through is very good. It's all pressure wash so it minimizes the risk of scratches.

    This is a good car wash, better than drive-throughs with people (they ALWAYS miss spots). Bear car wash washes better.

    Received a coupon for a free wash from a local dealership. My Jeep was dirty, so I decided to…read moreredeem my coupon today. I did not use the vacuum machines, I went direct into the car wash line. I was greeted by an employee who took my coupon, I also upgraded the package so I could receive a towel dry once the wash was done. There are two employees on either side of the vehicles who scrub the front and rear of the vehicles with a soapy brush. My rear view mirrors were folded in by the employees before I entered the car wash area. The force of one of the spin brushes opened the passenger rear view mirror while I was going thru the car wash. It did not do any damage. Plenty of soap/water and a quick air dry on the way out. Once I excited, I pulled into an open parking spot where my vehicle was hand dried by two employees. I like to keep my vehicles clean, if I'm in the area and need a wash I'd stop here again.

    Way over a year ago had a membership with Silverdale, no issues and cancelled it in 2025…read more Then got a car was weeks ago in May 2026 and over the holiday weekend the Bremerton car wash ran my card on file for another membership @ $35 month. Took so many calls and days later spoke to someone. They just apologized for the "GLITCH" out of the BREMERTON car wash. This card used was for a vacation coming up and now I had to cancel the card to prevent additional charges. Messages on voicemail, no call back. Finally 3rd call got a person. Website, joke too. People that work there, just give you a phone number. Pretty sad, that now I can't keep my car washed there anymore because I don't want my cards charged fees without my permission.

    I have been using this carwash because it is close to my home, and when I can get it to let me…read morethrough the kiosk, I think it does a great job. Kind of spendy, but I am old and I just have to deal with that. What really gets to me is that the kiosk card reader is apparently installed upside down and backwards, or something. Definitely not your normal reader. Cars line up and wait impatiently while the customers fight with the blasted machine. It is so screwed up that the kiosk has additional instructions taped to the screen so that normal people can try to figure out why you have to put your card in backwards and upside down. Talking to the workers only gets you "It works fine if you read the instructions". That is not the answer you expect to get when you repeatedly use this carwash and have to try and try and try to get the stubborn machine to accept your card, while four or five cars back up behind you and get impatient. It makes a normally technically capable person feel like an idiot!! Management needs to get the message! I imagine that they are losing business because customers don't want to have to fight a card reader from the inside of their car. It is difficult to get out and work with this kiosk as even the passenger is restricted by the adjacent machine. To make matters worse, when you get so frustrated with the POS, you can't even get out of the lock up. The barrier bar in front of you and the stack of cars behind you shuts down any means to leave. It seems like a fight to the death. I am sure that one of these days a customer will just crash the barrier bar and leave, just out of total frustration. I'm giving this business one more chance to fix this stupid card reader so that it works the way every other card ready does or I will quit using their service. The choice is theirs!

    No wipes, half the vacuums don't work or are missing nozzle for vacuuming. Will not returnread more

    I had to stop in for gas and was truly ticked off! The Main gas reader board said $5.09 (Still too…read moreexpensive) so I prepaid in cash and pumped my gas. When I was done the gas pump read that I paid $5.29 per gallon!!! I took a picture of the reader board and the pump then went back into the store. The employer told me he doesn't know how to figure out the amount of money owed to me. So I went back out to see how many gallons was put into my Jeep and returned to the store to let the employee know how much the store owes me (Math is not really that hard for me). He then got upset and said he knows how to do math but he can't do anything about it. I told him I'm not getting ripped off especially with how high the prices are and again he said he won't do anything about it. I told him if the gas pumps are charging 20 cents more than I wonder how much profit they made at the cost of unsuspecting customers. I know that the entire West Hills Auto Plex uses that gas station and that's a lot of money coming through. He again said he won't do anything because he doesn't want his til to be off. I left my name and number but no phone call as of yet and no money back either!!! I truly wonder how long this gas station has been doing this as the employee seemed to have knowledge of it, he wasn't surprised at all. I know 20 cents more per gallon doesn't seem like much at all but with all the vehicle traffic it adds up to a nice profit for them!

    Do NOT use the car wash. If something happens the people on site are NOT responsible. The owner,…read morewho has a 509 prefix on their phone number is. No refunds if you pay at the pumps. Only if you pay for the wash at the cashier. Totally ass backwards business. Got stuck in the wash and it left soap all over the car. Once I backed out because it failed to cycle, I had to drive across town to run it through a regular car wash.
