Real reviews from Google mentioning the touchless experience

Bud, and all of their employees have always done right by me, obviously a touch free wash is not the same as a hand wash, but they do a great job in the freezing weather and that older gentleman is always making things right in the freezing cold!! Only place I would maintain my f…

Excellent car wash with manual and touch less options available. Reasonable cost with 5 wash options, and the machines are well kept. Vacuum cleaners are in the back and also well maintained.

PositiveDemetrius Anderson5 years ago

It's a car wash not much to say mostly Touch free. parking lots of little tight but it does a good job. has probably the best under blast washer in the area to help blast off all the salt that's on the undercarriage

PositiveDave CampionEdited 3 weeks ago

Decent set up, looks a bit dated but the touch less got the job done for a quick clean up on the go.

PositiveJonathan Stewart5 years ago

Seems like the touch less system has some age. My vehicle was not very dirty but did the highest level wash and wax. There was quite a bit of road dirt left on the vehicle. Ill save my money and use the guns myself next time

NegativeAlexander BalikoEdited a year ago

Old equipment, did the touch free top option and truck was still dirty. Just looked like it was rinsed off and now had dirt with a little wax on top. Ended up still going back over it in the self service section. No blower to dry vehicle after using the spot free rinse. Vacu…

Touch less car wash was a waste of $17. Auto arm that sprays soap and water barely worked, maybe half of the jets worked. Truck needed washed when i left. Didn’t even touch the bird poo on the truck. Positives?? It was open after hours.

NegativeChuck Montgomery4 months ago

They are very happy to take your money when you sign up for the monthly membership but will refuse to pay for any damage that their "touch less" wash causes even when you offer to replicate the cause for them. As for the "touch less" wash it self, it leaves much to be desired. Y…
