Here we go: After spending two years paying a monthly unlimited membership on THREE cars to receive frequent car washes from this establishment... it is time to remove myself from This uncaring and unprofessional and dilapidated and failing business for customers and its employees. There is so much to share but I will settle this review like this: If you care anything about your vehicle- stay away from this "only local car wash in Boone" the managers and owners do not care about this business and its customers or the cars that it serves. Stay AWAY FROM Bubbles in Boone, NC!

Good car wash that looks very high tech Tommy's Express Car…read moreWash started back in 1969 when the Essenburg family opened their first Quality Car Wash in Holland, Michigan. It has grown since then into a franchise that by late 2025, has over 260 spots worldwide. We have never been to this one and I found it fascinating and slightly different from the normal carwash I visit (Caliber Car wash). This location was right off the main road (State Street) just to the west of the interstate entrance. It had an easy to navigate layout for newcomers like me. We were new and drove straight up to the window to pay for a basic wash with an undercarriage rinse. It cost about $9. THe staff was very friendly and pleasant and talked me into the undercarriage rinse which I appreciated. Once you are paid you pull around to the entrance and drive onto a conveyor belt. It is nice because unlike other car washes there are screens at the beginning and end to tell you what to do. It looked very clean (it was a car wash) and very high tech. We did not take advantage of the free vacuums but they looked well maintained. If you're near Bristol, it's a very good place for a car wash.

The washers range from $7 (commercial washer) to $4 (standard) and the dryers are $3 (commercial) to $1.50 (standard). Each cycle lasts about 20 minutes. Overall a decent place if you're in a bind for a washer and dryer service.

I have to give the 125 Tunnel Road location 5 stars. I so want to give a big hug to one of the guys…read morethat work there, not sure of his name, he is a shorter guy with a beard The people who work there really do their best to keep the check-in lane moving as fast as possible and get cars into the car wash quickly. I have a membership, so I use the membership lane, but sometimes people get in that lane when there is an issue with their account, a payment problem, or something else holding things up. When that happens, the line can back up, but I have noticed the employees do their best to fix the problem as quickly as they can. One time, I was behind a customer who was having an issue, and the attendant politely asked if they would mind going around to the non-members lane so they could help fix the issue without holding up the membership line. The customer did not seem happy, but the employee still kept a smile and did not act rude in any way. I also want to say that this location seems short-staffed. The same person who was working check-in was also inside, and later that same person helped me when I asked for new towels. Even with all that going on, they were still trying to help everyone and keep things moving. Overall, I appreciate the hard work at this location. They deserve the 5 stars.

She has had a very difficult time trying to find and hire staff members who are mechanical and work constantly providing clean towels that are rolled up, having a hose that works to clean off the cars and many other mechanical issues with the car wash, and employees who know what their doing etc. Now I'm happy to write: everything has CHANGED! I can not give enough compliments to CURTIS who is always making sure everything is working smoothly from trying to fix a chain in the car wash on a very hot Sunday afternoon, blowing leaves off the premises making sure there enough neatly folded towels etc. They stay open exactly until 7 pm with no excuses. CURTIS is always gives his customers a great smile and he works very hard dedicating himself to make this location #1. TINA had a tremendous amount of pressure in the beginning but she finally has found a great crew. AIDEN is also an exceptionally nice and hardworking employee as well. He brings a car into the wash as he was directing a jet for take off! Love it! Just today I saw that TINA and CURTIS put in a work order to FINALLY get the pavement paved. It was very bad with a huge holes right behind the vacuum station. For 6 years I had to navigate that space and finally the job is Done. Thank You Very Much TINA and CURTIS and anyone else who was instrumental in getting the pavement paved! My car is being cleaned with filled up wax dispensers or better cleaning products because I saw a real difference in the wash quality at the highest tier. All the lights are working now to show the customers what wax is being applied. Also the dryer is working now! Thank You All of You for a job very well done. Zips should give bonuses to ALL managers and employees who give outstanding service to give their employees an incentive to be a first class car wash.

The touchless wash is definitely not ideal and requires me to still manually get bug guts and grime off my car. Today, after another "meh" round through the touchless - I decided to try the self-serve bay. As I'm spraying the wax treatment on half my car...it turns off. No warning. I had no clue what time limit my membership gave, so I literally had to drive home with wax dripping and wash off in my driveway. Haven't found another touchless in the area, so now I'm faced with my driveway or the inevitable scratches from the other guy. At least I never left the other guy with yellow soapy bubbles flying off my car into the wind. :(
