I am not much into giving 2 stars but here I do. In my life of driving cars or trucks I have been to a lot of different car washes and if Yelp was around back then I probably would have reviewed each and everyone of them! Some you love to go back to, may it be price or quality of wash or near the house, and some you don't! Unless there is none other near you that is open. This one is a do it yourself manually or automatically 24/7. The only good thing here.
So here I decide I want to wash the salt and dried snow/dirt off my suv knowing there is a 70% chance of more snow tonight and I drive to Mr.Goofy's car wash in Belleville. Finding it closed I go to this one, knowing it to be a 24 hr place. The automatic brushless wash boasts the ultimate washing experience for $8. I choose that option with all the bells and whistles of a car wash. Triple coat polish and wax etc.
The wash bay door opens up and an electronic sign beckons me to drive forward. I comply till the sign tells me to stop. The ultimate wash starts. After about 5 minutes of washing the sign tells me to drive forward while another sign starts a red count down from 40 seconds. 40 seconds to get my vehicle dry!!
After the drier starts it's loud blower whine and I slowly inch forward through it, I am finally outside the bay and the door closes behind me. I get out of my vehicle to inspect the wash. I find a chunk of slush/ice stuck in my RHS front wheel-well.
I also find my one and only bumper sticker ripped in half on the ground!! Viola!! It is an ultimate wash after-all I think to myself!! It did something that no other car wash has been able to do as yet. The brush kinds or the brushless ones. None has been able to rip my bumper sticker off the bumper and rip it in half in the process!!
Will I ever come back here? Probably not! Not unless no other wash in the area is closed like tonight. And next time I will just wait for the others to open for business.
The drier, as loud as it was did not dry the vehicle as good as I would have liked. Was it really worth the $8 for the ultimate wash? The automatic wash at the truck stop on Haggerty Rd does it all for $5, the car wash when open across from Meijer's charges $5 for a drive through but one must get out and dry down with a towel, and Mr.Goofy's does it for $9 and it's dry and clean when you leave.
Do you want to use this one for your pride and joy? The choice off-course is up to you!! read more
