| - They advertise a $3 wash, but the fine print when you pull in says that's only for a "light wash." From there, prices jump to $7 for a basic wash; $2 higher than a much better car wash just 1/2 mile south (on the northwest corner of Gilbert and Baseline).
What I noticed is that the dryer at the end of the wash is very strong! It's TOO strong! It blew out a gasket that runs along the channels in the roof of my car...I don't know how else to describe it. And it scared me to death! There I sat, enjoying the car wash, but getting a bit concerned as the car went through the dryer. And then, all of a sudden, something flies off my car. I freak out! I was so worried about what could have come dislodged. And I wondered if I'd be able to recover it. I also thought the windshield wiper was going to blow off the car! It did not. Thankfully they had a guy there who knew how to fix the gasket issue, which is the only reason I considered giving them 2 stars, but in the end my experience was so annoying that I stuck with just 1 star. I suggested they dial back that dry setting so that it's something less than a tornado. He said what happened to my car happens all the time, which is probably why he's so adept at putting that gasket back where it belongs.
I again suggested they dial back the strength of the dryer and he just blew me off. I even told him I'd do a Yelp review to warn other potential customers to take their money elsewhere. He didn't seem to care one little bit. So, I'll take my car and my money elsewhere. I share this story to try and save other folks the panic of seeing something fly off the car while in the car wash. Honestly, you can get the same basic wash just down the street for $4.99. I'll go there in the future. And no, I am not affiliated with that car wash.
