What Customers Say About the Touchless Wash
18 reviewsReal reviews from Google mentioning the touchless experience
There are self service bays where you DIY with their equipment, touchless automatic wash, and the full Monty with whirling brushes. Add vacuums and service with a smile. It's as good as it gets.
So nice to have a car wash with so many options to wash your car! There are bays to self wash, brushless bays, and an automatic brush wash.
This place is great! I go a lot and always get great service. They have multiple self service bays plus a brush wash lane and a brushless wash lane. Lots of room to park after and detail or vacuum your car. $2.00 (8 quarters) for the vacuum and you get plenty of time.
I always loved this car wash until today. I arrived at 6 pm and was told they were closed I turned around and used the touchless bay which was terrible. As I left, I saw a line of cars waiting to go through the soft touch line that I was told was closed! Was it discriminatio…
I'm a car enthusiast, so I came here for the great reviews and the fact that they offer a touchless wash with an undercarriage cleaning. My car's dark paint is prone to swirl marks, so I got the deluxe touchless wash. The payment machine is a robot and it malfunctioned, so an emp…
Anybody else find that Hondas get swirls in their paint really easily? I tried the touchless wash here because my clear coat seems to scratch easily. Good news: no scratching. Bad news: not as clean as going through the regular wash, especially the wheels. So there are always tra…
Love this car wash. I just wish there was a dryer of sorts on the brushless automatic drive thru. The staff is really nice though and my car comes put super clean.
The touchless car wash does not clean very well so I'll probably have to use self wash next time
I use the touchless bays exclusively. The last few times I've visited the amount of soap dispensed is minimal and usually one bay is out of service.
I come here at least once a week for the past 5 years because I take pride in detailing my car with the help of the vehicle bays and the touchless wash. Now it costs twice as much for the same self service/time. Best way to lose your patrons is to alienate them like this. I'll…
First the brushless washes were not marked. I didn’t see whether there brushes hidden at the front corners of the bays. Second, the pay stations are positioned waay to the left of each door, you’ll have to pay, backup, then pull in. Third, there is no diagram about whether yo…
$10 touchless wash - doesn't seem to work. The windshield came out just as dirty as it went in.
I have been coming here for some time because of how reasonable the pricing is but now with new ownership they have cleaned the place up and raised prices. With the price changes you would think that they would either upgrade the touch less wash or fix them. Can’t tell you how ma…
If your car is dirty after say a snow storm or two, avoid the touch less car wash. The Touch Less leaves your car just as dirty as it was before, does not get the wheels clean AT ALL and to make it worse, it has no drying capability. All of the for a min of $10.00.
Used the brushless drive through service, there was no dryer and it barely cleaned half of the dirt off my car. You can still see a haze from dirt and all the flat surfaces had standing pools of dirt on them.
…washed this exact vehicle no less than 100 times with the same wheels and tires. They refunded my card and I attempted to use the touchless wash, but the card reader is so antiquated that it wouldn’t accept my payment. They need to update their equipment and get with the…
The touchless auto wash is not good. I paid $10 for the deluxe wash, which is one step above the lowest grade wash. The wash itself was about 2mins, it was basically nothing but a water rinse. Afterwards, I ran my fingers along side the car, which left dirt marks. Do not waste…
The "soft-touch" tunnel left a chip on my hood. The attendant who took payments was nice but never offered the touchless wash as an option. Had I known they had touchless, I would have gone with that option.
