This is the only brush tunnel wash in Grayling…read more With that being said, I pulled into today with an uber salty and icy car. I had driven up north in a near blizzard and my car looked atrocious. I mean, I couldnt even tell the car was hunter green under all that junk, it looked like a christmas cookie with dates in it...lol. At first I missed the driveway, its in a weird spot. Anyways, I did a big U-Turn on the road (hey its Grayling, you get away with that stuff here) and went back. I pulled up and the door was down. Seeing that its winter, they are probably trying to keep their equipment and tunnel from freezing. There is a sign to honk, and I did. The door opened and a younger lady greeted me, and I pulled in. The door shut behind me. This is where the party began!! Just kidding, there was no party. Well, unless you count me whipping out $7 (They have 2 options; a $7 wash, and a $10 wash that includes more options such as tire treatment, etc.). I commented "wow..car washes arent cheap these days!" to the attendant. That must've been the catch phrase of the day because she then handed me a business card with a free upgrade to the $10 wash on my next visit. Score! Turns out, the attendant signed the back of the card "NM". I look at the fron of the card and she appears to be the owner. Whoops, hope I didnt offend her or anything. Either way, she was very pleasant to me and did a great job prepping my car. The equipment looks like its being maintained and the tunnel itself was fairly clean looking, given its winter. You get a fair amount of soap sprayed on the car and the brushes that clean your car do not hit to hard. Sometimes I feel like those things are going to break my windows "FWAP FWAP FWAP FWAP". No wonder babies and dogs hate carwashes..lol. Anyways, Im digressing. I got to the end of the tunnel and a guy is waving me forward. Even though you get a heated blow dry at the end of the tunnel, the guy also hand dries your car!! And he did an exceptional job. I mean, some people down state where Im from REALLY need to take notes from this guy. I got out of my car and was very impressed - no salt streaks (from salty crap stuck behind the mirrors, rear lights, etc), no ice or snow, no slush buildup at the bottom off the rockers... the car wash did a fantastic job!! I drove the car back to the cabin (~25 miles) and the roads are very slushy up here. I got to the cabin and barely anything had 'stuck' back onto my car. Nice. My car looks great, every aspect of the exterior is clean - even my rims look great. I NEVER give 5 stars either. Check my reviews. But Northstar Carwash has most certainly earned it. And to the owner (Nicole?) Thank You - I will definitely be back!!
