Ended up here since it was the closest brushless wash at the time. I chose the highest level wash and instantly knew I was in for some bs. As I drove into the wash, there wasn't an under carriage wash happening. It seemed like there wasn't a lot of action going on but I put that out of my mind once the triple foam came out. After the rinse and terrible blow dry, I had to drive through the nozzles which were still pissing water everywhere. I even waited a minute before I drove through it. And the best part of it all was when I got home and saw what a crap job this place did. It's only been two weeks since I cleaned my truck from top to bottom, with very little driving, so it's not like my vehicle was caked with grime. The only part of my truck that was clean was the top. The sides didn't even look like they were cleaned one bit. I will definitely not go here and I'd suggest you don't either. This place is obviously neglected and doesn't clean your car well, at least for the brushless side. The price would be fair if your vehicle actually got cleaned. read more

10 bucks for TERRIBLE wash! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I bought the ultimate car wash for 14 dollars not expecting the best but wasn't expecting this.the back window and sunroof didn't even have a clean spot on them and the back window looked the same if not worse after. Worst 14 dollars I've ever spent I could have went to the manual wash and got it done right and it would have cost less. read more

Paid $12 for soft touch wash on 1/9/25. took my money but would not start. Tried several times but finally just left. Tried to find a contact number to call without success. This is lousy service. Looked up on computor for contact number only to get answering service with no call back. Don't waste your money at this carwash. read more

This car wash is consistently unreliable. And when it does work, it does a poor job cleaning the actual vehicle. Neither the touchless nor the touch side of this car wash does an effective job and I would not recommend it. read more

I have never gone through a car wash so terrible. Money wasted. My car literally looks the same as before I went through the wash.

Paid for the soft touch wash and nothing ever turned on. Drove through and put a cone in front of it so no one else pays for a car wash they won't get. read more

Decent car wash when you want to drive through for a quick clean and are on the go. Definitely not a deep clean but it did its job.

Met the owner today he noticed my car didn't get all the way clean, so he had me go thru again for free, and also wiped it down for me. He suggested doing the low end setting when the car is very dirty, that way your not clear coating the excess dirt! Automatic machines are not magical, but what's magical is an owner who cares!!! read more

Eight Harley riders stopped here on he way to Arizona from Seattle because one of our bikes broke down. It was raining hard so we pulled our bikes under the owner saw us on his camera and called the police saying we were loitering. I'm pretty sure the owner is a racist since we are mostly African-American. Two officers stopped by and we explained why we were here. They were understanding. We have been stuck in Kelso for five hours and everyone has been very nice. One man even stopped on the freeway to help out read more

I wouldn't waste my time and money here again. Half of the car wash mechanism doesn't work and for $14 dollars it should all work. Didn't do a good job. read more

My truck is filthy! Waste of $14.00. Now I need to go to another car wash and spend another $14 to get my truck cleaned extra time extra money that no one has to waste. read more

Single-handedly the biggest waste of $13 I've done this year! The machine spent a vast majority of its run-time washing the ground about 3ft IN FRONT OF MY CAR!! The nozzles were literally POINTING AWAY FROM MY CAR!! I probably would've received a better wash if I'd have just pulled through, parked at the end, and waited for some other hapless sap to shell out THEIR hard earned money... At least that way the nozzles would actually be pointing AT my car! read more

LITERALLY THE WORST CAR WASH IVE EVER BEEN TOO!!! went through and was expecting my car to be super clean, NOPE. still the same dirt it was from before I went in. wish I could get my money back! read more

If I could I would give this car wash zero stars just for the simple fact that none of their vacuums actually work and they don't refund your money I would read more

Wish we had looked this place up before we came. We paid $13 for the ultimate wash to clean our rental car before we brought it back and we now have to drive to a different car wash to get it actually washed. DO NOT STOP HERE. read more

This is close to my work so I try to use it but, buts its such a ripoff. It is good for nothing more than perhaps to rinse a bit of dust or pollen that may have settled onto a previous very clean car. There seems to be little or no soap/chemicals to actually clean anything, its just weak, watery spray. Broken spray nozzels that simply blast a huge fat stream of water straight out, so you don't get a very powerful or even spray from the rest of them. The one arm that goes over the top of the car is messed up and doesn't even point at the car half the time. You could literally drive the freeway in the rain for a few minutes and your car would be cleaner. read more

Seriously. Save your money and just have a filthy car. I bought the "silver" wash from the automated machine ($9). I saw there was a change dispenser, so I fed it two $5 bills. It showed was owed $1 change but didn't ever dispense it. There is also no attendant or phone number in sight. While the machine was buzzing back and forth I began to have less and less faith that I would actually have a clean car when I exited. It squirts on soap then pressure washes and barely blows it dry. My car came out just as lightly dirty as when it went in. read more

Don't come here and waste your time and money. Washman is even better! It's not a good car wash. Even if everything up to the wash starting was phenomenal, the wash is shit. My grandpa stopped when it said to, and the water was missing the front entirely. Then, because it's all automatic, he pulled forward to get it washed, and the wash stopped. Then he tried to go back, and it didn't start again. Then it just turned off its lights. We didn't get the wash, wasted our money, and there was no way to talk to someone working there, or a number to call. Bullshit. I much prefer (and I'd recommend) the hand wash by KFC, or even the Shell (the gas station) one by the Triangle shopping mall. I wouldn't recommend Washman, but it's better than this. read more

Go to this car wash if you want your car to be dirtier after you leave! It used to work okay, but something must be broken now because the last couple times I've gone there my car looks worse when I leave than it did before the wash. read more

Good luck getting ahold of anyone if there is an issue. I took my car through the touchless wash only for it to not work. Of course I was still charged for it though. I didn't see any information on how to get a hold of someone. And none of the numbers that are online, which are all different, seem to work. Go somewhere else read more

Do not use this automatic car wash if you care about your car. Came out with soap still on my car. So I get out to wipe it off and discover big scratches across the roof of my brand new Subaru. read more

Worst car wash ever! It doesn't clean your car at all. I came out of the wash and my car looked worse than before, it just swears the first around. I would save your money and go elsewhere! read more

Super clean and fast. Great vacuums too. I saw some of the reviews saying there is no number to call? It is in a pretty obvious location so not sure the issue. I stop in here about once a week on my drive from Portland to Seattle and have never had a problem. The car always comes out looking great! read more

Never going back there it looked terrible couldn't even see through the windshield because of the drips of what I don't know what had streaks going down my car read more

Horrible! Paid for ultimate wash and my car is not only still dirty in front and back, my windows and mirrors have soap spots all over and the pink cleanning solution left red spots on my white car! read more

Very responsive and very helpful. There are phone numbers on the door if you have a problem. Someone returned my call within a few minutes, and even though I had caused my own problem I got a re-wash for free. read more

I have come here 3 times. Each time something new has gone wrong/dissatisfied me. 1) Dropped a dollar in the vacuum and there was practically no suction. Annoying, but whatever. 2) Brought the car through and paid for an Express wash--one side of the car was STILL dirty (no I didn't park too far one way). 3) Brought the car back through to the touchless (like a moron) and -- you guessed it -- STILL looked dirty. I like to support local and expect more from a business with Kelso in its name. Please figure it out. I won't be back, and everyone I know won't either. read more
