As always a pleasure using the wash

As always a pleasure using the wash, staff are attentive & friendly. It’s my goto car wash as my car is parked under a tree so as I’m sure you can image plenty of blossoms from the tree and birds (you can imagine the rest). The ceramic coating has kept my paint looking like new even after two years. The app is easy to use and I often buy washes in bulk.

The way the person was telling me how to use thr app was a bit rude. I was asking if I can pay via app and it wasnt a pleasant conversation. Not a great place to go ever and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Easy cleaning , affordable price.

I love coming here. I buy a prepaid wash pack (the more you buy the more you save) and show the QR code to the guy there, he scans it and off we go.
The only reason I gave 4 stars, is that recently the car doesn't get dried as much as it used to.

The foam gun was not available, again, for my Ultra HD wash at the Elmers End branch. I resent paying for a service I don't receive.

I felt very rushed

I felt very rushed. The staff worked quickly hosing down before I drove the car into the car wash. The water looked filthy but seemed to clean ok. Windows were streaky though.

The car was left with soap all over the back window, wing mirrors and not dried in various places. When dried there were dirty “drip marks” all over the car, especially the front window.

Really friendly car wash. Sometimes I can find these places quiet daunting (silly I know) but they are very straightforward and kind when it was obvious I wasnt sure what wash etc to get. Clean car... happy customer

Paid almost £10.50 for car wash and when car came out it was almost as dirty as it went in just washed but not cleaned. seems like all fancy names but no actual cleaning power in the chemicals being used. I would prefer to go back to hand car wash and pay £8 which will be much better service and better cleaning quality.
Staff more interested in taking payment rather than actually cleaning the car.
