    I was in the area so I stopped for a car wash. I didn't have the best first impression. No one was outside when I pulled around. No one else was in line either. So I parked my car and started walking towards the entrance. Two guys were coming out and said I needed to pull my car towards the entrance of the car wash. I also didn't realize I had to get out of my car and have them pull it through. $17 for their cheapest wash. I don't know if I'll be back.

    All of the fenders looked like this.

    Paid for the Touchdown full service car wash which is the highest level wash you can receive without getting a detail, there was dirt all over the car and the inside looks like it was hardly wiped and vacuumed with a dry towel. They did do a decent job at cleaning my matts.

    This is about the closest you'll get to a full hand car wash in Columbus. It's located off Kenny Road and is pretty easy to get into if you're heading south on Kenny. You'll stop first at the vacuum station and select which wash package you want unless you just want their exterior only wash in which case you can drive right up to the tunnel (I think). Don't expect too much in terms of customer service from the outside workers. They'll usually just hold out a plastic card with the wash choices on it and stare blankly until you choose. I'm not sure why they don't have a large menu board like at other washes. They have various packages depending on how much you want done to the exterior or interior. Their top package is about $32. They do have detail services which require pre-arrangement. You'll leave your keys and go inside while your car is vacuumed and driven up to the wash tunnel. They do some hand washing before the car goes into the tunnel, but there are still brushes and bristles inside the tunnel, so you can expect fine scratches in the clear coat finish. It just can't be helped unless it's 100% hand washed. They have large windows where you can watch the cars go through the tunnel, but unfortunately most of the windows are coated with grime or haze resulting in a rather poor view. The cashier inside is always very welcoming and friendly. They have a small inside and outside waiting area with WiFi (spotty) and charging plugs (inside). Afterwards the car will be driven out and hand dried and finished and the interior worked on (depending on which package you bought). It can be a bit hit or miss at this point depending on how thorough your finisher is. ' Overall, they have tended to do a fairly decent job. And, they are the only game in town I know of that at least offers some of a hand car wash.

    Great cash wash until you need to cancel you subscription. I have moved and have tried to call and email multiple times with no success.

    Best crew. They do a great job. Reasonable price for the quality of their work. They even open the hatch & clean the gap in the door!

    Not quite the same as having your car detailed but close for much cheaper. No wait today.

    Has this place went out of business? I've tried calling and emailing. No response and the phone says the mailbox is full.

    Kelsey, we are open! We've been extremely busy the last three weeks, and sometimes we just can't answer the phone. If you received an error-type message when you called, we've resolved that as well!

    The exterior looked shiney & free of water spots since they hand dry it after the automatic wash.

However, the service I received was far lower quality than I could have done myself. I called about a week ahead of time and made a reservation. They told me to bring it in between 8 and 9 AM instead of asking me when I could bring it. However, despite having an appointment, it took them 6 1/2 hours to have the car available to pick up. I'm also not sure why dropping the car off was necessary and the only option given when they HAVE a waiting area. Their location is not near anything so not having the option to wait there meant I either had to walk several miles or take Uber/Lyft to a place I could wait (which isn't easy with everything closed for COVID). A few minutes after dropping it off, they called me to tell me that because one of the floor mats was muddy, it would be an extra $35. I mean, yes, the car is dirty. That's why I brought it to you. It was nearing time for them to close and I began to wonder if they would have it done that day. Finally, at almost 4 PM, they said it was ready and that I HAD to pick it up by 5 (even though they close at 6?). This was an issue because without a car I had to haul ass back there on foot. When I picked it up, I was told that there would be another additional charge for using a card. One of the workers put my floor mats in the hatch and I was ready to go. I did notice that it didn't look like they'd swept the floor mats but it was a minor detail so I let it go. They also told me they didn't clean the glove box because there was "stuff in it". Upon starting the car the airbag light was on which it wasn't before. I started noticing obvious spots of dirt that shouldn't have been possible to miss. Every surface looked like it had been wiped with a wet rag and the water allowed to dry creating streaks and water spots everywhere. Every inch of all the windows was spotted like this. Then I found brown water and hair in the emergency brake boot. The more I looked at the car, the more I saw they missed things that were so obvious. There was even a clump of mud the size of a shoe showing through the grill. The lack of detail and the apparent lack of care was disappointing enough but the seat belt light was the major concern. After some Googling, it turns out it's fairly common for the seatbelt system to be damaged by detailers and it is not a cheap fix. I emailed them that night letting them know and asking if it was something they could fix or if they would reimburse me for what the dealership would charge to fix it. After two days I had received no response from them. When I picked up the car, the upholstery was noticeably wet. My pants were soaked and the passenger seat was wet to the touch. Even after two days, the seats are still wet in the crevices. They either used WAY too much water or they waited until the absolute last second to detail my car. If that's the case, what was the point of making the appointment? The final straw was the floor mats. After letting them dry in the hatch as instructed, I went to put them back in. They had removed the mud from one of them but the bottoms of the rear ones were caked in mud on the bottom. I thought it must have run off while they were washing them and then dried like that. I spent more money, going to a regular car wash and sprayed them off myself. They dirt came off easily as well as a CASCADE of mud from both of them. They hadn't even cleaned them. At all. And charged me $35 to not do them. Overall, while they did make the car better than it was, they did a very poor job and didn't do some of it at all. They also like to raise the price but not tell you until you go to pick it up. There's really no excuse for not responding to someone's concerns about your service. They've lost my trust.

I looked at the price and it gave me a little pause, but I thought I'd go for it anyway. Now, after the service, I can tell you it was 100% worth it. Just, amazing work done here.

As the car's filthiness crept to the point of no return, I quickly realized that I would never have enough free time (at least 3-4 uninterrupted hours) to properly clean and detail her car--especially since my weekends seem to be consumed by kiddie birthday parties and soccer practice/games. I made an appointment with Curbside Mobile Detailing and received a quick email confirmation for the appointment time. DJ also called me prior to his arrival so I was able to let our nanny know to expect him--a simple courtesy that was greatly appreciated since I couldn't meet him at our house on a work day. DJ spent at least 4 hours on the car and my wife's 6 year old, much abused SUV looks almost like new! He also paid special attention to the paint (black metallic), which was looking pretty tired with lots of swirl marks and light scratches. Amazing job. If you need a mobile detailing service, DJ deserves your business.
