| - i probably would have given this place at least 4 stars had it not been for the two pushy guys at the beginning. let me explain....
i rolled up to the carwash because my car needed a little TLC. i hadn't really washed it since i moved here (in december.. i know, for shame) so i figured it needed a hose down before i let any of my coworkers in it. i had seen the Arizona Auto Wash and figured it just may be my best bet. i pulled up and was greated by a pretty friendly young man. i told him i wanted the VIP car wash. he says sure, then pauses and starts on this whole upsell speech:
him: you know we have a detail special...
me: i'm not interested but thank you
him: but its only $70
me: i dont have the time right now, its my lunch hour (at this point i'm getting annoyed)
him: oh no problem you can use it any time! you just have to buy it now
me: no thank you
him: i'll even throw in todays wash for free!
me: (walking towards the cashier) no thank you. i'm fine
him: aw c'mon
me: seriously? (insert disbelief at his desperation here)
so after that ever so delightful and annoying exchange, yet another guy comes up to me:
other guy: i see that you have a chip in your windshield
me: wtf? no i dont.
other guy: yes you do (points to the very bottom of the windshield). if you have your insurance i can fix it up for you right now (already has paper work in hand)
***at this point i'm suspicious. i go over my car at least once a week to check for any new dings/chips***
me: (walks up to windshield and realizes the "chip" he pointed out was actual crusted on resin) um, no thats ok. i'll take it into my dealer
other guy: you sure?
me: yes i'm sure. do you guys always ask a second time?
so after being thoroughly annoyed, i went inside to pay the cashier and wait for my car to be cleaned. sure, i thought about taking it somewhere else but i had already wasted 20 minutes of my lunch hour and i just wanted the damn thing scrubbed. i watched cnn and 30 minutes later, voila..... my non detailed, chip free car was done. magically that 'chip' on the windshield even disappeared.
i give props to the people that actually clean the car. they did a nice job. i would suggest, however, that AZ Auto Wash get rid of those two guys at the front. they just piss me off.
