How often should I wash my car?
Auto manufacturers suggest that your vehicle be washed after every weather event and a regular wash schedule is recommended to protect and maintain the exterior and interior of your vehicle.
We recommend an average of twice a month. It helps to maintain the clear coat by ridding your car of baked-on bugs and bird feces (which are all damaging to the clear coat). Washing frequently keep rims from getting pitted with brake dust, debris and other road elements such as tar. This is why our Unlimited Wash program is such a great deal!
What is your Policy on Tow Hitches?
All hitches, regardless of size or type have to be removed prior to entering the wash tunnel. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding!
FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not satisfied with my car wash?
Please let us know! Our goal is to create an excellent experience for you. However, if we fall short please let the manager on duty know and we will re-clean the area and do whatever we need to make it right!
What are after care services and when are they available?
After Care Services include any interior cleaning, buffing, polishing or extras that we perform that the Wash Tunnel cannot. These services are available Wednesday through Sunday from open until half an hour prior to our scheduled closing time. This is to ensure we have time to complete the package you purchased!
How Long does a Car wash take?
The length of time depends on two things:
1. The service you purchase. Our Value Package 2, which is a basic interior and exterior wash, is completed in 30-45 minutes depending on volume. Value Package 1 w/hand wax is general the same as above.
2. The number of customers that day. Please excuse us on days when we have a high volume of customers.
We always do our best to complete your wash package thoroughly and in a timely manner. Just in case, we've provided a complimentary coffee station, sofas, free WiFi and a television in our customer lounge area.
