    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.

    Good group of guys - but they've gotta slow down and pay attention to detail. I got the "VIP" package - but yet still crumbs/debri in door jams and carpet. Rear view mirror didn't get wiped down, side view mirrors still have water spots in them, cup holders still dirty. I'm certain they'd do a better job if they slowed down and paid attention to detail instead of how fast and how many car washes they can do.

    This is a full service tunnel car wash. Please note it is not a touch-less or hand car wash (if anyone knows of one of these in Colombus please let me know!). Thus it comes with all the risks of a car wash with brushes, etc. You will likely get fine scratches in your car's clear coat finish. These will be noticeable in certain lighting conditions, but I think will not be super concerning unless you pay very close attention to your car's finish or show your car in car shows. Full service means they vacuum your interior before the wash and then finish it by hand after with a detailed hand drying and inside cleaning. The extensiveness depends on which wash you buy (see menu photos). You can also get just an express exterior wash which doesn't include such things. The staff at the drop off/vacuum spot are people of few words. They don't say "hi!" or "welcome in!" but rather show you a plastic card with the wash options (not sure why they don't have a large menu sign as other washes do) and then nod at you when you make your choice. They give you a slip you take inside to pay. Your car is vacuumed, and they drive it to the wash tunnel. One gentleman was smoking a cigarette while he sprayed down the cars. So overall these folks were not terribly professional or friendly. You can watch through large windows as your car goes through the tunnel wash. The gentleman inside at the cash register is always very friendly and professional and helpful. He remembered me though I'd only been there once before. I wish they had a loyalty program or punch card as other washes do. If they do they don't advertise it. They have a variety of detail packages available too (see photo). I got the $23 package, and they did a pretty good job cleaning the interior and exterior and doing the hand finishing. It's customary to tip if you're happy with it. Overall my two experiences here have been pretty good. They do seem (based on Yelp) to be one of the better choices in the city. It doesn't compare to washes I have been to in other cities that are truly a hand wash which is better for the car's finish. They do seem to be thorough. The vacuum staff could be friendlier and more professional, and if they had a customer loyalty program that would be great.

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

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

I had to back up, and hit the lane divider when he told me to get the "fuck" out of there. I was shocked! All I needed was a car wash, not the harassment! He laughed when I hit the divider. I asked for a manager, and he said he was the manager which I found out later was a lie. I went home and called the corporate office (after sitting on hold for 23 minutes) and filed an incident claim. It's been over a week now, and have heard nothing from this company. Horrible customer service across the board. Nothing but harassment!

This one you have a little bit of a straight path before you enter, which is really nice, especially if you're like me and you're constantly driving different cars into the car wash and you really don't have a sense of where your wheel well is. Speaking of wheels and entering the car wash wheel track For some reason this location rushes you to get on it and it seems like they're not looking at your car and then right when you get up there they're shocked that you're not in alignment that is the only reason why I've not given us a five star More often than not I can feel my car not making a smooth entry and that bothers me because I feel that it messes up my wheels a little bit or my tire and that's not cool As far as a value, this is excellent if you buy the monthly pass, you can go in as many times as you want I wish I could say I go in as many times as I want I tend to go maybe four or five times a month I still feel I'm getting my moneys worth, but I definitely could wash my car a little more frequently. C'est la vie. I do recommend this location however when you're leaving it be careful. It has a very steep drop. Give yourself a little bit of an angle so you don't bottom out your car.

Additionally all of the brushes are soft. Bug mess on your grill? They have a station for that. I like that everybody can get free hanging car fresheners and dash wipes, not just the VIPs. The car freshener smells really great, like a nice cologne and it's not ridiculously strong. The car wash does an excellent job getting my car clean and the free vacuums are always helpful to have.
