Pleasantly surprised. A very nice no touch car wash. I will be stopping by again on my next road trip in that direction.

My favorite car wash. The combination of touchless and touch techniques is excellent. Extras are perfect, and everything is always neat and clean. Highly recommend!

Glad to have a decent Touch free car wash that is available in super cold weather. The third pass of the dryer would be nice and another jet on the spray arm would be good to get under your typical SUVs that have a sun shade over the rear window.

Excellent touch free wash!!! I’m picky. Extremely. Between hand washes at home I like to get a quick touch free wash to keep the grime to a minimum. This place is fantastic. For $15 it does a better job than a $100 “hand wash” at Aqua. The system does well to remove the grime and leave a clean and pretty dry surface. Next time I’ll probably use some of my pump spray wheel cleaner first but still, for a quick and effective cleanup this place is worth it. Thank you!

I just got the deluxe package only to come home with dirt still on my car! Need I say more? The no-touch system doesn't scrub well enough to make a difference.
