I decided to try this car wash after driving by a few times and seeing what looked like a nice place. After buying their most expensive option, I was very disappointed! Here is why: 1. For overhead / top cleaning, this car wash does not have a spinning cleaner. It is instead long “sponge” like things that hang down and your vehicle moves through it. They don’t not clean well. 2. The wash is set waaaay to fast! I moved through it super fast so my car didn’t get washed good. 3. It was moving so fast that it did not rinse all of the soap off and when I went through the blower section it only cleared a small portion of water of my truck. It literally stopped when it go to the secondly door on my cab and felt like I was being shot out if the wash! Bottom line is a poorly run service that rushes customers through leaving their vehicles only half cleaned. Don’t waste your money. There are smaller car washes at half the price that will clean much better then this place

Always have had a great experience in this place, fair prices, fast service, good result and BIG PLUS they don't charge for using the vacuums.! Tho they ask to be considered on how long you use them so everyone can enjoy. Over all, my favorite place to take car of my car.

Legitimately the best car wash I've ever been to. And the only one I've seen with a conveyor belt instead of a track that scratches. And of course free vacuums are the cherry one top. I wish there was one closer to me :(

I have a hatchback and the car wash didn't get the back of my car clean at all. Usually car wash places have someone using a brush before you go in to clean areas like this but they didn't have anyone.

They install an rfid on your windshield good for 1 wash per day. There's a dedicated lane for members which makes it quick to enter. You can suspend membership and they will simply reactivate the rfid if you choose to do so.

Do you offer a detail package?

There is no detailing offered at this car wash. It's an automated drive-thru car wash with free vacuums. They do offer a monthly subscription which would save money if you got a car wash every week.

If I remember correctly, like $12 or $15 for the highest quality service. I dont live in Washington anymore but I used to take my car every week :)
