Really friendly staff but not a lot of attention was paid to the wash of my car. I paid for a diamond wax and no soap was put on the car in the prewash and the machine went through too quick so didn’t wash properly. I was disappointed as it’s usually really good

Not worth the money

Went for the most expensive option and saw no benefits over a cheaper version - marketing scam I looks like - finish was not great either so I would never return and I'd stick with hand washing

One of the foam sprays did not spray the left hand side of my car, it sprayed the window of the car wash building instead ☹️ but the rest of my car was lovely and clean.

The wash was good. Unfortunately the car in front and myself were kept waiting for a very long time for no apparent reason. The attendant finally appeared out of the office after around 10 mins, he did apologise but offered no reason for the wait. This is supposed to be a speedy service and could not reverse out due to another car joining the wait.

Horrid first time experience!

As a first time visitor to this car wash I wasn’t aware of the arrangements. I pre booked the Diamond Wax wash using the QR Code and presented my phone to the operator. He did not explain anything clearly to me. I could not understand a word he actually said. I was not made aware that the car actually rides free wheel through the wash so my auto brake was set to on. He actually opened my car door and barked some instruction at me to release it which quite unsettled me. I won’t be going there again!

My car was not washed as the car wash had a height restriction of 1.85 metres and my vehicle was 1.9 metres.. most other car washes I have used have a max height limit of over 2 metres.

Wash review

The overall finish was not what I had hoped for due to the dryer not being great and some of the jets were not applying wax/foam etc evenly. Some of the jets appeared to be blocked. You did ask!!......... I would return again though.

beware, you pay for one thing and they put you through in a lower item wash. You email IMO but never heard back.

Showroom Finish

I park under trees on a Country Lane.
My car was covered with tree sap etc and looked an old banger. I tried a jet wash though the black marks remained, on bonnet and roof.
I paid £5 for triple wash in Caerphilly Branch.
I was expecting some marks to remain, as it was so bad.
The end result was fantastic. My car looks like showroom model. Very happy. Thank you.
