| - #119 Heading down 36 Avenue SE east of MacLeod Trail (it is Mission Rd SW and 4th St SW on the west side of MacLeod Trail), I have driven past ServPro Cleaning with it's bright yellow signage hundreds of times with a dirty car even though building advertised (with a giant yellow pointing arrow) car wash is open 7 days a week from 6:00am to 10:00pm (0600 to 2200 for you 24 hour/military folks).
I have never given it a 2nd thought or any thought to be honest until this past weekend when I thought, what the hell? It's a car wash; it's close by and my black car looked like a mini Jeep in the mud, and I was curious. This is an industrial area with mostly car repair shops, just down the street from Heninger Toyota. Such it would make sense to have a car wash here but it just feels weird especially since ServPro is a cleaning company but apparently, according to their website's main page, they have an entire cleaning service portfolio.
You drive around to the back to a (garage) door that automatically opens when you pull up to it, after a few seconds. Once inside, 6 bays greet you (well, they don't say too much, pretty quiet usually), all taking cash or credit card (no debit card) though I could not get my credit card to work (luckily, I keep spare change in my pocket). It is very clean, comfortable atmosphere, and well ventilated. I spent $3 to wash a 4 door Honda Integra ER Type S (that's a hybrid of Honda Civic EX and Acura Integra Type R (Japan) with a stick shift). The water must be filtered as it left virtually no spots, stains, or residue. I did not vacuum the car (and I assume a cleaning company has a vacuum system somewhere); that's next weeks task.
A wonderful discovery definitely off the beaten path not yet widely known or afternoons are just a dead time for customers? As stated above, it is open very early and very late. I am interested to see when it's "busy" times are.
I wish they had a blower or maybe they did and I just did not see how to activate it (still caught off guard that a 6 bay car wash is here).
Did I mention it's indoors?
Well, I probably implied that when I discussed how to get into it.
Oh, it's indoors.
