    $7 express wash. The front of my car was not as clean but that's expected for $7. It's not better and it's not worse than other local car washes. Their vacuums are pretty powerful and what I like is they give you a cloth tissue to wipe down your car afterwards.

    More damages

    If I could give this place negative stars, I would. I was told that the overhead scrubber would not be used for my car because it may damage my windshield; however, when I went through the car wash, it was used and cracked my windshield. I filed an incident report with a man on the spot and was told I would be contacted within the week about the status and compensations. I had to go to the car wash on 2 occasions to follow up before they told me after nearly 2 months that they would not cover the damages (Leslie and Alexis). Now I have to get a lawyer: horrible experience, horrible customer service, and a horrible car wash. I couldn't recommend this place any less- avoid it at all costs.

    Vehicle damage estimate provided to TLC.  I was not even offered replacement wiper arm costs.

    Normally a great car wash, friendly staff and very clean equipment. I wash several of my cars and have a monthly membership for our commuter car. Unfortunately a poorly taped rear wiper caused a damaged wiper and deep scratches. The grey drying wheels yanked the rear wiper arm off the hatch. A manager and attendant requested that images and estimates be provided. The last image shows the response that I received. Not too happy about that. Damage was caused. Emails were sent. Estimates were provided. Their response was read the signs. Have a great day. - "Remove your antennas, remove your wipers, and remove attached parts" =Wash at your own risk.

    $12.00 later and my car is still dirty. Mind you I have a small car with some odd shaped body parts. It's hard to find a good car wash for my Nissan Juke. The vacuums are strong and they keep the place cleaned. Employees are helpful and approachable.

    So I got a quote from this place and was doing everything via text. Let me tell you guys about the…read moresmooth experience I have and how attentive their employees were. I believe his name was Lozano( sorry if I got it wrong) and Anthony. They fixed my car no issues and had it up and running in no time. They were very professional and even washed by vehicle prior to me picking it up. I highly recommend them and they are extremely affordable. Don't hesitate to give them your vehicle. Best part. No check engine light lol. The warranty they offered is just a plus!

    I've waited a long time to write this review just to be sure that I actually know what I'm talking…read moreabout. My car had a check engine light for a bad sensor. I replaced it and it persisted so I bring it here. They took a look at it and let me know my car needed a valve cover replacement, new spark plugs, and to replace the sensor I had just replaced. There might have been more but this was almost a year ago so I don't exactly remember everything we did. Fine, I trust them because this place has been highly reviewed and it seemed very professional. So I spent about $1500 on repairs. Maybe a week later the same code comes on so I'm confused. I take it back to them and it takes days for them to get to the car because their "diagnostic tech" is really busy. Fine. So they call me and tell me that the code I'm getting is because my timing chain is fucked and it's going to cost $4500 to fix it... Which I don't have. So I sit on it for a few days while I see if I can come up with the money or what I'm going to do, before they threaten to charge me a storage fee for having my car with them. Fine, I understand they don't have all the space in the world. So I get to the shop pay their $150 diagnostic fee and try to take the car. The battery is dead. They gave me a jump and I drove home but there was no check engine light. I found it weird and thought it was a fluke. Long story short I replaced the battery, battery cable, oil, alternator and the car is just fine. I've been driving it for almost 8 months. I put in maybe $500 in parts. While I am trying to figure out what the problem is I message them and ask if they charged the battery, or if the battery died on them at all. No answer despite multiple messages. And this is what bothers me you have no problem messaging me multiple times to threaten me with fees but can't respond to one simple message. My point is this shop is shady. They wanted to upsell me on expensive repairs I didn't need. Now I'm not even sure if I truly needed those $1500 in repairs the first time. How do I know it was an upsell? The guy who gave me my car back said, "we just go based on what the scanner says." And that's when I knew this shop sucked. Why would I be charged a ridiculous $150 fee for you to scan my car? Personally that doesn't seem like diagnostic work (at least a proper one). I feel like some of the things I discovered on my own an experienced mechanic would have found. The car had an electrical problem. In between those two visits I took another car to them to see if they could do a transmission drain and fill. I put that in the appointment request and I made the appointment days in advance. When I get there they say they can't work on the car because it has a lot of miles on it, which again is fine but why are you making me waste my time and bring my car to you if you aren't going to work on it. Do you not have someone who checks the following days' appointments? Why does your website allow me to make the appointment if it doesn't meet your shops criteria. All in all I say stay away and find a place with honest mechanics.
