Washed here multiple times. I have never used the self serve bays, but the automatics are great. If you are looking to get caked in dirt off, I suggest the soft touch but if you just need a quick clean the touch free is your best bet. I have recommended this wash to some of my friends and they don't regret coming here either. UPDATE 06/08/2024: This wash only keeps getting better! They are always adding new features to the automatic washes and they seem to be programmed a bit differently every time I visit. On top of that the wash is still very well cared for!

A great car wash place. Their laser touch less car wash is superior compared to some of the others I tried in the area. They also got a really nice area for interior cleaning. They are one of the most reasonably priced and with the available coupons the prices are excellent. The owners of this place are really nice people. Once I had a problem with billing and they made sure that I was treated very fairly. They even offered me an extra free wash. Love this place.

Conveniently located right off I80, this car wash does just what a car wash should, and does it well. Three weeks of road salt went down the drain at last. Premium touch less wash was an affordable $10.00.

Favorite car wash in town! They have two, touch free, drive through bays and 4 pressure washer bays. They take credit cards in all bays and have very reasonable pricing. The owners seem to be constantly updating and maintaining this wash so if anything is broken, it is promptly fixed.

Not bad! I normally don't like brushless car washes but for getting all that gravel road dirt and road trip dirt - this place does the job!

I love this place. I only ever take my beloved car through touchfree washes, and have found that this place is generally a better value than Executive Laser Wash. This place gives my car a shinier finish when dried, at a few dollar less than Executive Laser Wash. However, I wish the jets here were more powerful and that there were more of them. If you have extremely caked on gunk or bugs, I'd choose Executive over Laserwash of Urbandale. For everything else, this is the better value, and usually way less packed!

Just used this over the weekend and quite impressed. I had to use some gravel roads earlier in the day and car was very dirty. Wash is touchless which I prefer and I did the $12 wash. Dry cycle when exiting has a visible timer which is nice so you know how much drying time. Will definitely use again when needed!
