I've never seen such a long line before in my life. The equipment is solid, and priced reasonably, but seriously, what is up with that line? There is plenty of space admittedly, so you aren't stuck in the middle of traffic, but I'm sure there are other options in Bloomington. I can't say much about car washes. It got my car clean? All I can say is that this is a solid choice and that you are probably thinking too much if you are looking at Yelp reviews for a car wash... like I did lol read more

This location has a history of mechanical failure--brushes not working, limited water for rinsing, vacuums not working...but today took the cake. The discharge mechanism on the track didn't work properly and the car at the end couldn't exit. The track kept moving and my car was bounced back and forth, hitting the car in front of me as they rolled back into me and being hit from behind as I was pushed backward. The car behind me had the same problems and hit the car behind him as well. The car wash needs a complete mechanical overhaul. read more

I got the ARM premium membership and cancelled almost immediately. horrible service. washes with no rinses so I have to wipe suds off my car. So many times. The carwash would be open with no towels in sight. Three vacuums in the actual track just don't work and the self service ones are no good either. i have proximity to all three in Bloomington normal and honestly, all three suck majorly. How can the service be this bad? This has to be a racket. read more

My car is not clean after going through here. There is dirty water dripping from the seam of the hatchback onto my back bumper. I got the $14 wash. Very few of the vacuums were working, I had to move my car twice to find working vacuums. read more

I love this car wash. The monthly fees are a great value. It's easy to keep your vehicle cleaned up with this great price. You could go every day if you want to. Definitely does help greatly with owning a black car and keeping it clean read more

Went through the car wash and noticed the top rotating brush didn't wash my hood, windshield, and top, leaving dirt on my car. I drove back to the car wash and raised my concerns. They said that as long as I had roof rack cross bars they had to turn the top brush off. Nothing told me I was going to get a half ass car wash because of my roof rack. No offer to refund me. Told them I will never be back, he said fine! Crappiest customer service I have experienced. read more

First time here. Nice that you can use your credit card or cash to pay. Would definitely do the monthly package during warmer months - Mir bang for your buck. They provide window cleaner, multi-purpose cleaner and a number of bays to vacuum out your car. Although, when it is busy, they get full fast. The only downside. Like others have posted, is that my front license plate got bent up. Pretty efficient and the cost is t too bad. Will look for discounts in the future. read more

Did the job, car looked clean. Left some soap spots and didn't dry really well but they made up with it at the self "serve" center.

This is a great place to get your car washed. Really like the towels, cleaners, and vacuums made available to all.

What a racket!!! I got the middle of the line wash for 16$, in this package it supposedly cleans the grill of your car too. So it takes about 45 seconds to go through the was. I thought to myself wow this car wash must be pretty powerful to go through so fast and get it all clean. Boy was I wrong mark, The side mirrors and the grill looked exactly like they did before I wash the car I was in a hurry and didn't notice this till I left. I had to vacuum on car and they had this little wash tub that was hard to use for your mats. So basically for $16 you almost got a car wash. Very disappointed I could've done a better job with my water hose in the front yard read more

Always broken vacuums if there are twelve vacuums only 5 or 6 work the ones that's on barely suction. I went today and the man put the cone out so he can chat with a friends and I was sitting there for five minutes never said a word to me. A coworker pulls up from a break he looks like he not supposed to be on. I asked was it open. The first man who put the phone down never acknowledged me and I was just sitting there and more and more cars came behind me. Rainstorms have fell off I'm switching to Club carwash. Better business, employees and service. read more

2 star because this location is better than the Main St. location. First, *WARNINGS: Rainstorm will attempt to take no responsibility for what their machines do to your car. Please read other warnings below, you likely will experience some sort of damage to your car.* Pros: -Cost effective (as long as you make the effort to wash your car every day). If you wash 3 times or less per month, you are better off buying individual washes elsewhere. -Quick, usually a quick run though ~5 minutes if you are not vacuuming or wiping off the excess soap. -Convenient, with 2 locations in BloNo, it is easy to come across them on your day-to-day. Cons: -Vehicle Damage, of varying degree's. It becomes quite obvious when you go there often and the same damage on cars. I have listed more on this below. -Hot days. On hot days everyone without a FastPass comes through and you can expect up to a 20 min wait to even get to the wash. -They have barricaded off the vacuums and now you must wash your car to use them. Not a huge deal but inconvenient and if you need to use the vac's and have already washed that day you are SOL. -Inconsistent wash quality. I feel like sometimes they are out of certain wash steps and just run you through anyways. The wheel washing is VERY poor. I have to hand wash my wheels when I leave. They have just recently started polishing up the tires which looks nice, but that was supposedly a feature months and months ago. I haven't seen it on ANYONES car until about August. *Vehicle Damage: They are very straightforward about this and it is posted on signs in multiple locations at both areas. I have used this service for the last 8 months. I have seen MANY MANY cars with the license plates bent up. This seems to happen mostly on trucks and suv's, but always on cars without license plate covers. Bent antennae, not as common as the license plates but only on the straight, wire type antennae. scratched paint, deflated tires, scuffed side-mirrors. I personally, have had heavy micro scratches imparted into my paint. This happens gradually and is from those spinning cloth machines. A scuffed front headlight. This is only on one side, the left is crystal clear and the right is scratched to hell, yes, I am certain this is from the wash. And partially deflated tires, the tire cleaning brushes press up against the tire walls and cause them to lose air. This again, can be seen in many cars parked there. read more

The wash bent our front license plate. Otherwise it was a great experience. Fast work, strong power on the wash. Got the winter grime off the car. read more

I've been very impressed with the staff at Rainstorm on College. Also, the wash is Top-Notch.

Undercarriage wash is listed, but they don't do it. You go for wash in winter to clear out salt from underbody. They should fix it...otherwise a good place to go in summer. read more

Pros: Clean car; great use of vac and cleaning sprays/rags included in price, great staff. Cons: Chews up front license plate on both my Ram and my wife's Cayenne. Wheels of all cars still dirty after wash. Regardless of the cons, I plan to maintain the $20/month plan as it is still a bargain. Tips/Suggestion: Before I enter wash, I pull over and spray the wheels down with Wesley's Tire Cleaner..this works and is encouraged anyway. I'm hoping this review will encourage management to address the front plate issue experienced by self and others. Short-term fix, have employees inspect front plates and offer to bend the edges back into place. The machinery seems to bend front plate at both ends, for any vehicle I run through.... read more

Best car wash in Springfield, Champaign, Decatur and Bloomington. The monthly special can't be beat.

The car wash severely bent my front license plate. My friend went a few days later and his windshield wiper was ripped off and and one of his windows was broken in the car wash. Very disappointed. I will never go back and will never recommend this place to anyone. Ill be going back to the K gas station car wash on towanda barnes, a much better experience. read more

Most of the vacuums are broken! Maybe one out of four work. The staffers were excellent

I've been to two of their locations in the Blo/No area and it's the same at both places. They place someone as the payment kiosk or the garage entrance to pressure you into buying some type of multi-wash package. The person is friendly, but I don't like the high pressure sales tactic. They get you in and out quick and that's not a compliment. The trip through the wash is only about two minutes. As soon as the soap is sprayed on the car it's washed and scrubbed off. There's no time for the soap to work properly. If I do go again I won't pay for extra treatments, just the basic wash. read more

Got a monthly plan because it was a great deal! $20/mo and you can do a $10 wash every day if you want. We go quite often because our 2 year old loves the lights and the "show". The added free vacuum, trash cans, and window cleaning supplies help us keep the inside of the ride clean and are all welcome additions! We've recommended them to several other people! read more

Have damage to my truck. Filled out all the reports at the time it happened but cannot get anyone to contact me about my damage. They won't answere my calls and voice mail is full read more

My last visit was the worst. $20 wash did terrible job. Rewashed with still poor results. Business quit pre-washing at entrance. Took away buffer dry at end. Attendants did not care. To busy on cell phones. read more
