I wanted to get the touch less option, and they were able to accommodate that. The monthly club is a great option to do as long as you use it.

EDIT 6/2025- On the infrequent occasion the wash has had an issue the owner is prompt to resolve the customers issue and fix the wash. 5 starts still stands for me, this is the best touch-free car wash in the area, the negative reviews do not accurately portray this business and should be removed. Original review: I’m not sure why this isn’t a 4.9 google star car wash. New customer- but I am impressed compared to the local touch free competition. The few low reviews don’t seem to understand this is a touch free car wash and has limitations.. but this seems to actually be a very good one! I swung in late a cold night- bonus no wait. The wash machine is easy to use and if you buy a package the price is very reasonable. Ultimate wash pack 4/48 works out to 12 a wash. The others are cheaper. Best wash features for the price in the Latham area - 5 stars for value. I’m not sure why no one has mentioned this but this touch free has extended drying (2 very slow passes and the exit has a 60 second additional dry as you exit the garage. I have not had another touch less come even close to this in terms of dry quality. I also noticed the wash pressure seems very high and the machine passes over slowly and thoroughly most of the wash steps doing 2 passes for a complete clean. The undercarriage wash leaves a little to be desired as most touch free washes do. I feel like there isn’t enough going on under the car… the side sprayers just get the wheels/wells a bit. It was well lit, everything was working properly despite being literally almost 0 degrees out, and the wash quality seems superb compared to the competition. I had just ran the other car through the Hoffmans touch free earlier and this one does a better job for the price. Support local/small business, this is the best touch free car wash hands down!

Touch free stalls with undercarriage wash are great. Wish they had free vacuums like Hoosick St.
