For the meager of sum of $9.48 you can get your car washed, vacuumed and dried. I have to say I've been to all 3 Octo washes, and all do a great job. I was hooked by the Univ. Ave location when I was in college. I recognize the same line manager to this day, and it's been 10 years since I was handed my diploma. Both he and I have aged some, but the service is still awesome. He still recognizes me and makes an effort to greet me when I stop in. It says a lot for a company that keeps staff a long time. Especially in an industry that would usually see high turnover.
Octopus does an awesome job for the money. You can get a crappy gas-station wash for $7, or pony up $3 at Octopus and get a car that looks great.
I agree that the sales staff is a bit pushy, and the fella at the Park Street store has been down right rude when I decline extra services. One time he took my ticket and tossed it at me when I said "no thanks" to the Diamond package. We all can have a bad day.
Keep it Clean.
