Immediately upon pulling up I was greeted by a friendly gentleman. He asked if I needed gas or an oil change, I said no and then waited for a car wash attendant. I just wanted the Basic wash, but the next attendant talked me into spending "just $3 more" on The Works so that I could have the interior wiped down. I agreed because they weren't going to do it otherwise.
The first attendant then came back and tried to talk me into getting my windshield replaced because he spotted a couple of little star cracks. Annoying! I hate when car washes do this. I just want you to take the dirt off of my car please! Thanks! Grr.
Anywhooo... I paid, went and had lunch and came back. My car was finished by then. I got in and the safety pins I had in my console tray were now on my seat. I got to sit on them before I realized. Lucky me! Because luckily they weren't open. The coins I also had in my console tray were now in my cup holder and some were definitely missing. Pennies and maybe a dime, but regardless why were my things tossed about and not put back where they originally were? Hmm... also their handy work was mediocre, nothing spectacular and there were definitely still marks and dirt on the outside of my car. I also paid for "the works" wash, remember, but I never got my cherry air freshener. Fun!
I think car washes these days are so focused on getting people in and out in a hurry that they compromise quality, but what do I know. I will pay $16.99 for a half ass wash if it means I don't have to do it in this Arizona heat.
