I get a car wash about every ten days. I drive a black car so I'm picky on which automated car washes I will drive through.
Cons: The details are inconsistent. You can get a fantastic job and then once in a while catch a team that's far less careful. The hours are not always followed. I live far and will make the trip for service to find out its closed early. Near the vacuums there are bumble or killer bees. I'm allergic so I have to dance around them most visits.
Pros: The wash is perfect. Lots of soap and it knocks off all the bugs and dust /pollution that Arizona notoriously provides in the air. The dry is touch-less and actually dries most of the water. The cost is reasonable which allows me to keep my black car black most of the time. The service people are always nice. I like the mirror at the top to keep my wheel aligned before placing it in neutral. The vacuums are free and work well in shaded areas. When I choose the full service there is a shaded area with water mist to keep you cool. I would rather go inside if I'm wearing something nice but it is a car wash. I'm thinking that this summer I may spring for the VIP card.
