“I recently visited Sparkling Image car wash, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The facility was clean and well-organized, which immediately put me at ease. Hands down the best car wash in Cedar Rapids.”
“They did an AMAZING job on my car. It started with 2 years of grime as it had been abandoned and they got it looking like new! Very communicative and affable. Would recommend to anybody need a good deep clean for their vehicle”
“Best car wash on this side of town by far. The blow dryer kind of sucks but they have air hoses if you get out you can use to dry yourself which is actually kind of nice. They people are always friendly also.”
“My cell phone was in the car of a famous coach and athletic director and we vacuumed oit his car since I am not allowed to drive and I may destroy this cell phone and move far away from Iowa.”
“Their tunnel car wash seems to do a great job getting my vehicles clean. They're close and quick, which makes it super convenient. I usually choose Tommy's however, because they have an interior mat wash machine.”
“They do some interior cleaning here at a decent price. I say cleaning and not detailing because I expect more for detailing, but they charge a fair fee for a cleaning, I think.”
“I never thought I would have bought a monthly subscription for a car wash, but I am super glad i did great wash and save money going monthly instead of one at a time.”

“Big Z's Car Wash - The Hassel-Wash: Where Your Car Gets Pampered, Hasselhoff-Style!
Oh, buckle up, my fellow road warriors, because I recently stumbled upon a car wash that left me feeling like I just took a joyride with David Hasselhoff in KITT. I present to you the "Hassel-Wash" – where your car gets a spa day that even the Hoff would envy.
First things first, as I pulled into the parking lot, I was greeted by a lifelike cutout of David Hasselhoff sporting his signature '90s hair and an expression that said, "Your car's about to be pampered like it's in an episode of Baywatch."
The wash bay was like a shrine to the Hoff, with Baywatch memorabilia adorning the walls and a soundtrack playing the greatest hits of his musical career. Yes, folks, he did have a musical career, and no, I never thought I'd be grooving to it while waiting for my car to get a spa treatment.
As I slid my dollar into the machine the led lights sparkled at me with a knowing smile and said, "Your car's about to be transformed, just like David did for pop music in the '80s." I wasn't sure if my car was ready for such a radical transformation, but I took the risk.
The wash itself was a spectacle. Instead of the usual swirling brushes and high-pressure jets, my car was treated to a dance routine choreographed to the tune of "Looking for Freedom." The soap suds formed intricate patterns on the windshield, as if they were telling a tale of a car seeking liberation from the dirt and grime of the road.
The pièce de résistance was the waxing stage, where the dripping how wax polished my car with an intensity that would make Hasselhoff proud. It was like a moment to serenade my vehicle with "Hooked on a Feeling," because apparently, that's how they ensure a smooth, silky finish.
As I drove away from the Hassel-Wash, my car gleaming like it just starred in a music video, I couldn't help but wonder if somewhere out there, David Hasselhoff was smiling, knowing that his legacy extends beyond Baywatch and Knight Rider to include the world of car washing.
So, if you're tired of mundane car wash experiences and want your vehicle to get the celebrity treatment, head to the Big Z's Hassel-Wash. Your car might not emerge singing "Looking for Freedom," but it'll definitely roll out with a newfound swagger and a touch of Hoff magic. Just remember, sometimes all your car needs is a little Hoff and roll!”
“Brad did an amazing job working on my 1999 Honda Accord! The car had a terrible smell from mice that had gotten into it, and he went above and beyond to get the odor completely out. It smells fresh and clean now, and he was professional, honest, and quick to get the job done. Highly recommend Brad for anyone needing car cleaning or repair work!?”
