The car was a Prius by Toyota...One of those electrical / mechanical hybrids that require a NASA Certification License to operate! I left the car there to have it oil & lubed, then a wash. I was told it would be about approximately an hour or so before it would be ready. So off I went to do some errands in the vicinity. When I got back, I found that the car wash left the door open and that the vehicle wouldn't start...To my surprise all power was dead and it didn't have the power to turn on a flashlight! It took a friend of mine to arrive with a pair of jumper cables and some patience as we had to slowly re-charge the battery and for the electronics on board to realize the charge. After about an extra hours delay, I was able to re-start the car and drive off. The car wash waived its' charges, but I was still a bit torqued of the situation because of the incompetence of the staff about the new hybrid automobiles(they shouldn't accept vehicles they are unfamiliar with!). .----I give them two stars for cleaning my tires and for draining my batteries.
