Real reviews from Google mentioning the touchless experience

Awsome experience. Tried the laser wash because I've always been a skeptic of touch free washes but damn... It did an awsome job. The vacuums work, the vending machine is always stocked and the people are super nice. Worth the 30 min commute once a week.

First time there - I went in the line where they prewash your vehicle before it goes through the wash. It actually was clean and all I had to do is dry her off. They also had a no touch wash that I want to checkout. They have a wash club that I may be joining for the, now I ma…

I'm updating my review as a subscriber since May 2023. For the price per month, it's a pretty useful service to be able to zoom through the touch free bay whenever our car gets covered in bird droppings or tree sap from the huge oak tree that shades our driveway. It's also good…

The monthly memberships are definitely the way to go if you wash your car more than once a month. The auto washes are very well maintained. The touchless laser wash in particular is the best in the area when it comes to delivering a spot free wash. The kids that run the place are…

Great car wash place. They offer hands on washing, laser no touch washing, and bays for self wash. They also have vacuums available & air. Definitely recommend. I have used the self service bays & the laser touchless wash. Looks like the hand on service is good too, it's ver…

I got the unlimited touch less wash for $30 a month and I'm really happy with it. The price is great and I've noticed the protective finish the wash adds to the car--it gives a rainx type layer.

PositiveDoug McCauley5 years ago

This is my go to carwash since we moved here in MD and so far they are really good. Upon arrival at the carwash you will notice that there's 2 lanes to choose from, Touch-Free Laser on the right lane and Automatic Cloth on the middle. To access the Self-Serve (24-hours), you have…

Am usually able to get one of the self-service bays - the cost and time have remained the same which is excellent- others using are friendly and courteous Have recently started using the automated laser wash - it is worth the wait if it is busy - the cloth wash looks like it does…

PositiveDavid GreeneEdited 2 months ago

I love going here for a car wash! The touch free wash is 24/7 (shown in my photos) which is so cool! I don't have any complains for their quality of services but only 4 stars because of their price (pictures for the price). In my opinion, their price is a bit tad high. But I'll…

This location has two full-service lanes; one is brushless. The lane that has brushes is usually manned by two staff members that will preclean your car (brush and cover it with soap, deep clean wheel covers, etc..) The brushless side usually cleans well, though on occasion, I…

Touch free wash was very underwhelming.. used it hoping to get salt off my car. No cigar. Stick to the self wash stations and do it yourself! There aren't many self service washes in the area, so bonus points for that

NegativeChris Aughenbaugh7 years ago

They claim "all cloth" but not sure how that's better than "no-touch". There are two wash boys who scrub down your windows and wheels before you enter the automatic wash. However, the hot air blower only blast on your vehicle for about 30 seconds so you still have lots of spots…

NegativeJerry Bulger6 years ago

Pricy, can be cheaper. Touch free are not able to remove all dirt. You have to manually clean windshields.

NegativeRahman Monzur7 years ago

People that work there are cool people and they take care of your car, but the washing experience is just not that effective. For both touch less and automatic car wash, they offer a range of washing options from $12-$20. I get the highest priced one every time, but it just doesn…

Negativepeteros2 years ago

It's okay, I feel it's a bit overpriced for what you get, nothing much better than a gas station car wash. The soft cloth is a nice touch, but didn't get much more clean than the cheaper touchless was at other places have done in the past. I'll give it 3.5 stars until I try it a…

If you want a good clean car or truck don't use the brushless wash a waste of money

NegativeEdward Cuffley2 years ago

If you had seen my car 20 mins after getting home from car wash, you'd think I was lying that I just came from a $14 car wash. Fingerprints and smudges of dirt still very visible all over body of car, I couldn't believe it. I used the no-touch option, and I did not step out of th…

NegativeRuthie6 years ago

This car is not adequate at all. Understandably it is touch less, but the pressure wasn't strong enough to make a dying roses petals fall off. Not please at all and it didn't even provide a dryer. Although it was in a convenient location, I think it needs an upgrade and for t…
