| - Abridged:
Sales people are a little condescending. Prices are pretty over the top for anything above one of the three wash packages. One of their employees doesn't know that brakes can squeak some when wet (like after a car wash).
Unabridged:
I've been on a hunt for a new go to car wash and decided to give Danny's a try after a disastrous attempt at another business and a discount I recently found out I was entitled to. I had an hour to kill before a dinner appointment at Tempe Marketplace, and figured it the perfect chance.
The man that met me at my car tried to read me at nearly every point in the conversation and adjust his next line/tone appropriately, but made it very apparent he was doing so and it almost made me walk out. I told him I needed a wash and a hand wax and that I had an hour tops in order to have this done. He tried to then sell me on a detail, which my car didn't need at the time. After I told him such he's like "Oh yeah. Looks like you are right on track of what your car needs and when. The inside looks fine."
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I was glad to get away from him and inside.
I went and paid and the inside is your typical upscaled car wash approach that's happened as of late. There were some televisions playing various general channels, some snacks, some random shit for your car, some blue mountain greeting cards (I totally thought those were only e-cards from the mid 90's) and some various seating where you can watch your car at different stages. You can also watch outside which is nice.
I like to watch my car when it's being washed, serviced, what not. I like to know what's going on. Call me an overly possessive parent and you are probably right. My car's my baby. Sadly, I had to move three times in the process of my car being washed to keep an eye on it. I wonder if they do this on purpose.
When it was done I stood up to head over. A man asked me if my brakes were bad, to which I responded no and then asked why. He told me they made a loud noise. When I told him it was probably because they were wet he insisted it was not and that I should get my brakes checked. Ends up they didn't make any noise at all, it was another car and he didn't know what the hell he was talking about.
On the good side, they did take damn good care of my car, so the next time I feel a little feisty after a long day, I'll head over here to have my car washed.
