I am waiting on hold for a representative to cancel my monthly membership. It has been over 13…read moreminutes in the queue and I am reminded that I am # 13. I was #17 when the recording started. The car wash does an ok job. My car was fairly dirty before my first wash. Using their top wash, it did not get recessed areas clean (around license plate, top of tailgate window, etc). After another pass a few days later it was better. I owned a car wash in this area for ten years. This is a friction wash. It uses brushes but little or no high pressure spray. I have now been on hold for 21 minutes. The recording just told me how important my call is to them and I am #9 in the queue. I am going to hang up now. I guess I will have to drive over there to cancel in person. This is too much hassle. I am lowering my rating from 2 to a 1! P.S. I tried to attach a screenshot of my hold time but it didn't work.

My husband was told very clearly that he gets 3 months free then he can cancel at any time but…read morewould need to come in person to a location. We paid for August but decided we ultimately don't make the drive often enough to justify the almost $40 per month now that I do not work close to a location. We stopped into the Grimes location Monday ahead of the new month so we can cancel and were just handed a card and told we need to call then someone will reach out within 48 hours. Still no call back and no confirmation that we canceled and it is now Saturday. Also, the site clearly says when canceling that it needs to be done 7 days in advance. We have now called numerous times and the inbox is full. Such a scam!

i used this car wash - the hand wash bay in the second stall from the end, on 9/3/25. I have a…read moresmall convertible, so I don't use much water or soap. At the end of my time, when I turned off the controls, it showed my elapsed and charged amount was $4.05 on the control panel. This company billed me for $19.99. I have a second vehicle that I run through this car wash regularly. I will never do business with them again. As reported by someone else too, if you insert coins instead, it often does not work properly, and you are forced to call them - which I had to do some months ago. One issue, shame on me. Two issues, shame on you. Coins don't work, and now I was overcharged using a card. No receipts are ever given so you can see what is being charged in real time. DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH!!!!!!

Awesome automatic car wash that was recently updated with new machines. Cleans 10x better than…read morebefore! $12 for the most expensive wash. Timed the wash in 6 min with dryers at the end. There are two stalls that are for manual car washing. We did not use those. Commercial vacuums were available. Visited on a busy day but we were the first ones in line. Highly recommend this automatic car wash if your in the area!

I love The Shine Shop. I signed up for a monthly VIP membership which allows me almost unlimited…read morecar washes. They have great technology that reads my plate number for quick entry, without any hassle. It is relaxing to just sit in the car and enjoy the light show, as I crank up the radio.. The staff is always very helpful and friendly. As a bonus, every month I get a new dash wipe and air freshner.

Visited Waukee location and was told by a new employee that they were running a special for $15.00…read morefor 3 months. I confirmed with employee if this is $15.00 each month and employee responded, it's $15.00 for all 3 months. Because this would total $5.00 a month I questioned their current special again with employee and their response was again, it's $15.00 for all 3 months, so I signed up! At a later date, I was going through receipts in my car and I questioned this again, so I contacted their # which is 1-833-712-1747. I spoke to a very helpful gal who mentioned that I may possibly be given a free month for the mix up, as she transferred me to a James at their corporate office. He said, it's incorrect what the employee told me and it's $15.00 EACH month for 3 months. It's exactly what I had originally thought. James with his cockiness felt superior to the customer over the phone, as if the customer is at fault for "hearing" the special incorrectly, although I reiterated with their employee a few times about their current special. I don't think James thought I'd cancel my membership over the phone with him, as my family has been with this company on and off for several years. I most likely would not have cancelled, but due to James superior attitude and his desperate need to feel like a big man, I'll now suggest for James taking a class on phone etiquette and tact, as he has no personality dealing with customers. James, if I can give you any helpful advice; I'd suggest just sit back, take a deep breathe, look up at the ceiling and get up out of your chair, then walk over to the nearest mirror and lean in, take a close look and say to yourself; I probably need to stay the F off of the phone. Have a nice day, James!

This is my go-to car wash when I'm in the Des Moines area. It is fairly close to my office…read morelocation, which is handy, but I also love the fact that it is completely reliable and does a good job of washing my car each time I use it. There are 2 bays that are touch-free and two soft touch bays. They also have vacuum stations available. I always use the touch free car wash option. There are 3 different wash options available & you can by with credit card or cash. You can also use a discount code from the nearby gas station. The money machine ALWAYS works when I am there, which is a lot more than I can say for other car washes. The wash is always consistent and does a good job of blasting the gravel dust build-up off of my car. I have used the vacuum once and was impressed at how long my money lasted - my car looked fantastic when I got done.

There are suds on the first round and only spatters of water on the second. I left the wash DIRTIER than when I went in. I didn't think that was even possible!
