It's a touch free stall that you park in after you choose the wash you want. It does a pretty good job. The best wash costs around $17.

My Mercedes dealer recommended I only use touchless car washes I hadn’t had luck finding many in the area until I went to splash n dash! Very happy. Weekly visits.

This place is busy busy busy. Always see someone we know. Everybody does their best to be swift as possible so the next guy in line doesn't have to wait too long. Prices are fine and the trash cans are so big they are touchless! Vacuums are strong enough. One thing that I didn't…

This is a great touchless car wash if you don’t want your nicer cars scratched up. The self service bays are also relatively cheap and a good spot to power wash prep or clean your car yourself. The auto wash is updated and new. Also a cheaper option than the other chains in tacom…

For the price you get alot of soap on the brushless premium was compared to other car washes these days.

I don't get to come to this one as often as I like but out of all the touchless car washes in the area I found this one to do the best job... why I have no clue because it looks almost the same as any other one you go through, but this one seems to get more of the dirt and grime…

Was lucky enough to be there while the attendant was refilling the vending machines and cleaning up things. Nice service. Easy to use. Does coin, dollar, and card operated wash. With drive through no touch as well.

5 stars for being one of the few touchless bays in Tacoma. Why are these so hard to find? Anyway. Good enough wash. Well return again.

Kai Llamasa year ago

My truck was lookin rough. It had been awhile since it was washed....a looong while. Did the brushless wash which was extremely short. It was over before it started but I did the $5 no dry wash. It came out great except for all the cracks and crevices, which was to be expected.…

It seems one touchless car bay is down every few weeks. That leaves one bay and longer then normal wait times. I've had coins taken from the machine and the vacuum not work, which was kinda disappointing.

If you're looking for a 'touchless' car wash, this is the best place I know of in Tacoma. Very rarely a wait, and the $10 wash is pretty good. Of course there are a few DIY stalls and vacuums for more in-depth and interior cleaning if you need it. Just be aware that during high t…

Usually broken and need to switch bays a few times until you find one that works. Don't bother with the touch less was it will only remove dust.

Wilster Onea year ago

I come here every couple of weeks and usually it works okay but I went this time and was waiting in line for the brushless and when it was my turn the bay closed. There was three cars behind me waiting also. There's no clear hours on when the brushless is operating and when it is…

I never enter reviews but it's needed. It used to be the center dispensers were stocked and the touch free bays were decent but leaked the whole time on the car. Now they updated the touch free but all of the dispensers are either sold out or unplugged. Vacuums have been good to…

Great to wash your car with a touch less wash. Close to home and I still use this place. But for the last 4 months I have tried to vacuum my car and put money in (3 tokens to start) and the vacuums never work. Says I’m putting in quarters or none of the vacuums are working. Neve…

Benjamin Shelley6 years ago

I used the car wash at 6:30 this morning. Three of the base had construction equipment and were blocked off. All of the other Bays were wide open with nothing stating that the facility was not available for use. I use the one free touch-free Bay and I did not get any soap on my v…

It's officially the worst car wash in town never stocked vaccums all broke except 1 wash sucks always looks bad if on gun and the only saving grace is the drive through touchless stall scale to 5 I give negative 11 cuz it stole my money on multiple occasions but this one I'd hop…

Took my truck to get washed here. Used the touch less wash. All it did was spray my truck with soap. Didn’t rinse it. Went to another bay where I had to drop more money to rinse the soap off. Total down $30 for a car wash. Would not recommend going to this spot.

David L3 years ago

Terrible car wash!! I paid for the touchless carwash and it stopped working when it was half way dispensing the soap. It just froze at the rear passenger side of my car. So I had to go to one of the other bays and pay more money to rinse off the soap.. waste of time and money!!!

Jolinda Gonzalez5 years ago

I came here at 9:22 PM. I paid for a basic touchless wash with cash. The washer froze on me and never cleaned my car. The machine took my money and said “car wash in use”. Even pressing the refund button did not give me back any money. Due to the machine not properly operating, I…

The touchless car bay on the far right just doesn't work. I foolishly didn't click the refund button on my way in so I don't have a receipt. I called the customer service number and left a message but no one returned my call. My still-filthy car is off to the Brown Bear instead.

While I know the touchless car washes don't get rigs as clean as a wash with a mit, you can't even tell I went through it. Total waste of time and money! My brother owns two of these style car washes and they do a way better job. Don't waste your time here.

Geoff Thomas2 years ago

Paid $11 for the brushless .The machine started spraying soap and suddenly stopped. I waited and nothing happened, so I moved the car and still nothing. I got out and was looking for someone to help me when I heard a nouse in the back. It was a part of the machine, like a large…

The touchless wash does an alright job, doesn’t do quite as good of a job as the ones with brushes but it’s relatively cheap and quick, and I’m a busy mom, so I can’t complain about that. Been going here for a long time now and sometimes it’s broken, but it’s relatively reliable…
