They originally charged my card $12, so I thought they would adjust after and the amount would decrease. This was not the case!! The final charge was $22.60 for under 10 minutes of spraying water in the freezing cold. What a rip off!! I'm not cheap, that is crazy expensive and the math from hard money to card payment isn't aligned.

This review is just for the self-serve bays…read more I'm old school; I'm happy washing my car in a pay-as you-go bay where I'm in control of how much time I need and how much soap and rinse I want to use. I'm glad Colonial has a couple of these bays, but using them isn't quite as customer friendly as I had hoped, especially as a first time user. These bays do not have bill readers. They take credit cards, but you don't exactly get to select how much time you want. Instead, the screen will show increasing time/cost, and you have to remember to QUICKLY press the stop button when you think you've got enough... meaning I need to know in advance how much time and money? They're probably hoping you err on the side of caution and overpay. They also take coins, but only quarters and $1 coins. When was the last time you had $1 coins on you? (NOTE: You can probably get $1 coins and quarters at a coin dispenser on site.) I had a bunch of quarters all set though. It's 25 cents per 15 seconds, minimum of 8 quarters/$2.00. But you either need to have your hand on that spray nozzle or have a 2nd person handy, because as soon as you start adding coins, the countdown begins, which means I lost about 10 seconds getting quarters #2 through #8 in. There's also a time lag between when you switch from soap to rinse, which means you may want to switch to rinse maybe 10-15 seconds before you actually want the soap to stop. Having the ability to put all the coins in and then press "START" would be handy, like some other self-serve car washes I've used in the past. I did get my car clean, and I'll have a better idea how to handle this on future visits. It wasn't a bad experience, just not as good as similar service I've had elsewhere.

He then told me to go, and led me the wrong way and my TIRE POPPED. I have yet to hear from the owner on being compensated for repair and roadside costs.

This is easily the nicest exterior wash in the area now. The updated equipment runs smoothly and does a thorough job, and you can tell they've invested in modernizing the whole operation.

For a trusted local name that's been around for decades, it's great to see them keeping up with the times rather than resting on their reputation. If you're looking for a reliable exterior wash in Albany, this is your spot. The combination of quality equipment, fair pricing, and that local trust factor makes it an easy recommendation.

It is a very brightly lit gas station for families or women stopping by here. The gas prices are average for the Colonie area, but it is really the shop itself which is well kept, solidly stocked: hot items are hot - cold drinks are actually cold. Village Mobil is great!

If I'm out of cash I might go in to get a drink, but it's that's about it. They DO have a car wash, which I've used a few times. I think you get a discount on gas if you decide to wash your vehicle.
