| - My spot has always been Legacy Self Serve Car Wash. I really wanted to be the duke there. But, Oasis is my new spot. Here's why.
Last night, I was all prepared to get the dirty birdie all cleaned up. It's been 3 weeks since the last wash, and the dust and grime needed to come off. So, I found some 1 dollar bills, grabbed the drying towels and was ready to head off. All I needed was my trusty Dollar Store bucket, and my wool washing mitt. As I checked underneath my counter to get them, I noticed they were missing. My heart sank as I realized that I had left them at Legacy, 3 weeks prior. Well, my car didn't care that they were gone, it still needed a wash.
When I got to Legacy, I was prepared to pony up to get the automatic car wash. As I saw the washing wheels, I noticed that they were made of a cloth or rubber substance. Now, i'm paranoid when it comes to scratches on my car. There was no way I was allowing this to happen. So, I checked my Yelp app and put in the words "no touch car wash". Oasis was the first listing to pop up, and I noticed the high ratings. I also noticed that it was a mile away. I decided to check it out.
Oasis is tucked behind Island Style on Eastern Ave. It's hard to see it from the road, so if you see Island Style, turn into the small road and keep going behind the strip mall buildings, you will find it. I used to go here before I found Legacy, which has cheaper self-service wash stations. But, since I was only interested in the no touch car wash, this was the place to go.
I chose the cheapest car wash, which was 7.00. I didn't need any of the extras, especially the bug remover (there are flying bugs in Vegas?). This car wash also takes credit/debit cards. As I entered, the foam process began, followed by the power rinse, then the drying. As I exited the car wash, I parked at the vacuum machines in front. I was skeptical on how well this cleaned my car, and I wanted a closer inspection. Here is what I found.
Not only did it clean my car as well as I would by hand washing, it also cleaned off all the bird poo that was on my rear bumper. I was stunned. The drying did not do a "complete" drying, but I spent about 8 minutes drying the rest. That's not too bad. For about 5 dollars more than I would have paid at Legacy to: hand wash my car, clean all my washing equipment, and dry my car, it provided me with a high quality job that was clean, fast, and convenient. I'm ditching the hand washing now and switching to Oasis' no touch wash. I would recommend this place to everyone who's not only tired of hand washing, but wants the same quality, if not better, a washing that won't leave scratches, and that is affordable. I got this place on my bi-weekly schedule!!
