    Vortex not so dry.  In fact, not even damp, still soaked.
    Mike W.

    I have been here before to get my car washed. Today I decided to give it another go. The web site still clearly states that the basic car wash is $4 and includes undercarriage wash. No drying. Ok, I am fine with no drying. So I drive across town to use the car wash. I even buy a card filled with money because I was happy with Wave. What do I see? the prices have now jumped. Not as advertised on the web site. When I called the company and am told first that I am wrong, that they never had undercarriage washing on the basic service. I checked to make sure, and sure enough I was correct. They had it advertised as including undercarriage wash for $4. took a screenshot of the web site to post up here on yelp. So I had to pay $8 for the higher tier now to get the undercarriage. The Basic no longer includes undercarriage. I know it used to. But wait there's more. This middle tier also is supposed to dry your car. Yeah it barely dried my car. Overall a poor experience. The prices should have remained the same until the web site is updated, as all this did was falsely advertise, until the web site is changed.

    A few months back after going through the touchless car wash.

    I have driven past this place probably thousands of times over the years as it's been in the same…read morespot about as long as the Peppermill. This is more a place to get your car detailed rather than just a regular car wash although you can do both here. The regular wash is more expensive than almost anywhere else but I find it's worth the money since they hand dry your car. Outstanding customer service, I can see why they have a long line of cars getting the full detail service, I'll have to try that next time

    I'm not sure what has happened to this place, but the last two times we have had our car washed…read morehere, they have done a terrible job. Today we paid for the ultimate wash and it was literally worse than when we pay for the works. There was no difference in one service versus the other. Your car goes through the "car wash" at record speed. Today our wash cost $58 plus tip and I now have to go home and finish cleaning and wiping out the inside of my car. The windows are streaky, the dash board was only half wiped down. The doors were wiped with so much solution that it dripped all over the inside door frame. There is still a bunch of dust everywhere. I feel so ripped off for the services today. The worst part is that we picked a time it was not busy so they did not have to rush. The previous time we paid for the works and they "cleaned" the inside with minimal attention to detail, so today we thought if we paid more, they would do a better job. Boy were we wrong. Looking for a new car wash because this one isn't working out any longer.

    I found Hutch's Car Wash while I was in Reno for appointments, and the location couldn't have been…read moremore convenient. On my first visit, they were running a great promotion, $10 for the first month of unlimited car washes -- which was an easy yes. I live in Lake Tahoe, and driving over mountain roads (especially in winter and spring) means my car gets really dirty. Now, anytime I'm in Reno, I stop in, and it's always quick and easy. There's usually no line, which I really appreciate. The car wash itself isn't anything fancy, but it gets the job done. They also offer self-serve vacuum stations, which are great and easy to use. Every employee I've interacted with has been super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The only downside I've noticed is at the very end of the wash -- when someone helps dry the car. That part feels a bit unpolished compared to the rest of the operation. It's not a dealbreaker, just something that could be improved.

    Went to get my car washed today and the truck in front of me either the truck not loaded correctly…read moreinto the rails, the driver didn't put the truck in neutral, hit the breaks during the wash, or the attendant didn't provide enough space between the vehicle to prevent them from running into each other. I had my car in neutral during the whole start of the wash. Halfway through the wash, the vehicle in front of me got closer and closer until my car was pushed into the truck. I hit my breaks so I would keep getting pushed into the back of the truck. Unfortunately, there was a car behind me. This car was placed also too close to me. Now I have the car behind me hitting me and the car in front of me. I am sandwiched between a Ram truck and a large SUV. I am driving a 4 door sedan. I'm being push forward and backward, being hit in the front and in the rear of my car. I'm being whiplashed back and forth in my car, unable to get out and stop what is happening! I felt trapped and hurt from all the back and forth throwing of my car and body. As did the passenger in the car, my fiancee. When I finally get out of the wash and try to ask what the hell happened, I'm told to talk to the manager. I don't get to the manager, some poor worker has to take my complaint and tells ME I need to call the police to report what happened. NO APOLOGY NO HELP NO SERVICE NO SUPPORT NO TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT JUST HAPPENED ON THEIR PREMISES! TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT RESPONSE AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE Is there a lawyer who wants to take my case?
