| - I've been going to Chief's Auto Wash for as long as I've lived on the East Side of Cleveland - 7+ years. There is not a better car wash value anywhere I've ever been.
This is a well-staffed ride-through car wash in South Euclid.
You can get your car washed for as cheaply as $5 (maybe even cheaper if you buy the club card). It costs $7 if you are willing to buy a 5-wash book. It's been the same price for the wash book for the past 7 years, even though the individual price has crept up to $10.
But, even at $10, it's still the best deal anywhere.
When you pull in, there is at least one person (almost always two) spraying any bad areas of your car (bugs, etc) with solution, and scrubbing difficult-for-the-auto-wash-to-reach areas with continuously washed scrub brushers. When you come out on the other side, your car has been thoroughly washed, clear-coat-protected, and your tires even armor-alled. Like any auto car wash, the very worst stuck-on bugs will remain at the end, but again, it's better than anything other than using bug and tar remover and a scrub brush.
Behind the car wash, they have several vacuums and coin operated detailing products like windex-soaked towels, armor-all soaked towels, etc. The facility is always clean and the staff always friendly.
Also, despite their clear warnings limiting their liability on loose items being ripped off your car, they go above and beyond. I had just bought a new Honda Pilot and the car wash ripped off the rear window wiper that I forgot was there. The owner was there when I realized it, and he shut down the whole car wash while a staff member went in to find it. When they found it, it was damaged, and he gave me his business card and told me to send him the bill and he'd pay for it.
I didn't take him up on it because he had no obligation to pay for it, and because this car wash has saved me hundreds of dollars over the years in car washing costs. It was a $20 part at Honda.
This is one of those "seems too good to be true" places, but it isn't. It's cheap and effective, and it's run by people who care about how clean your car ends up.
Oh one other story... once during winter, I had a lot of residual ice on my roof. They got most of it off, asked that next time I try to chip it away to get a better wash, but offered to have me ride through twice for the price of one wash to get a cleaner car. That's just the way they work.
