I had a bunch of questions, as an out-of-towner who was having some car trouble; the Front Desk Guy was super helpful. Waited for s/thing like an hour at least - they were short staffed. Very happy with my oil change. ONLY prob: they seem to have disconnected my wiper fluid tube, and I had to pay another mechanic to reattach it. If I'd been A Local, I'd have just taken it back and requested replair, but it took me a few days to realize & by that time I was already getting other work done. In sum: I'd go back; my car did run more smoothly after; DON'T GO DURING LUNCH HOUR or other high-volume moment. Would also not go right before getting on the road, leaving town. 4/5 stars

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!!

Passing through on a road trip that started in Arizona and after going through the Midwest and…read moreUpper Peninsula of Michigan decided it was time to wash our Suburban. As we're trekking across the US, we have a basket installed on our tow hitch and this cannot use an automated car wash and had to seek out a self-car wash place. This place has both automated AND self-serve options. Three self serve bays, one of which is taller are available plus an automated bay. I arrived early in the morning around 7AM and used the first self-serve bay closest to the automatic bay. Read the instructions carefully before washing g to understand all of the features and maximize my time. The main reason I selected this location, In addition to being self-serve is because it accepts credit cards, which was much appreciated as I had already run out of quarters from the previous car wash and another state. What I really liked about this is unlike the other location that I washed that in another state, which you have to manually keep adding time to, THIS car wash site, once you activate your credit card, simply keeps the time running, which is great cause I didn't have to pause to run over and keep adding time. Simply press the button when you're done to stop the charges. I love that! I used pretty much every cycle type from pre-wash and high-pressure rinses to low pressure applications in car wash brush with foam. Everything worked perfectly, and all of the detergents were stocked and functioned as advertised. Zero problems, simple yet effective service. I couldn't be happier--good value. Thanks!
