“Stopped here to get gas once. Everything was in good working order and the parking lot was clean and well lit and right off the main road. I paid at the pump so I can't speak for the inside or staff.”

“Washed our van here after a trip from out of state. It did the job. It cost us $8 for the very bottom tier automatic wash (cheapest).
They offer soft touch or touch-free. We opted for touch-free with some of what our van has. We were concerned it would disturb things, but it did not damage our vehicle or disturb it. It was still clean enough to suit our purposes, too.”
“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.”
“Johnny Boy's Car Wash is a great place for complete Car Wash (detailing/shampoo wash) in a reasonable price. I truly recommend this place for All type of Car washes”
“Friendly staff and did an excellent job washing the truck and trailer. I took the truck there with the expectation that they would price gouge like the streakin beacon, but they did not jack their rates. Deff coming back when a wash is needed!”
“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.”
“Haf to say this place is awesome. I use these Tank Wash services on a daily bases and they are pretty prompt on getting me in and washed. Sometimes had to rent an extra tanker due to supply and demand. Employees are prompt at doing their jobs and getting things done!!!!Thank you for your services”
“Hadn’t been there in years so we decided to go yesterday. Got a fabulous wash. 2 guys washed our vehicle very well before we even went thru. Cleanest our vehicle has been in years. With their wash program, our price will be almost as cheap as the drive-thru we have been using at Kwik Star but with a much better job. We will be purchasing one on our next trip to Mikey’s.”
“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.”
“This place is awesome! It’s become impossible to get our 75 lb Labrador in the tiny showers at our condo. This place worked perfectly & was definitely worth the $13 I spent. Our girl Tula was comfortable using their bathing station & hopped right up into the tub! She loved smelling all the BBQ grill smells from Willie’s. The water was cold at first but warmed up after a few seconds. I brought my own shampoo to use but had extra time left to rinse so I added their conditioner. Now she is silky, smooth & soft! I’d come here again & definitely recommend it to anyone with a big dog.”
“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.”
“I wish I could give these guys 10 stars! Mister car wash, your employees deserve a raises, best place to go! They didn't feel they got all the dirt off (I live on a dirt road) and ran it through again!! Will be driving down hour and a half to come here again!!!”
“Took our pride SRT Jeep here today. Paid just over 27 with tip. Went through and while vacuuming I noticed that some of the areas weren't really clean. I great worker came over and before I said anything he saw what I did. He had us go through again. 2nd time it was MUCH bettor. he told us the lindale location does full detail so we will go over there next time to. VERY happy and impressed with the service. Hope the owner knows what he has in this employee.”
“I had time to wash my dirty hound dog and the parking lot was plenty big enough for me to park the Bobtail Semi there, so it was definitely a Win/Win 2 for 2 right out of the gate.I think both Sonny Boy and I preferred our experience here than doing it at home on my old man knees hunched over the side of the bathtub.It was a hot day 4th of July and I wish I could have been able to adjust the temperature of the water that was coming out. Made it an even hotter, sweaty-er experience for me. And I was concerned about my dog getting overheated from it already being so hot, and then the fairly warm water on top of it. He was definitely panting the entire time and we steemed it up in there lololThe blow dryer was an unexpected bonus, despite only being about 75% effective. I'll be sure to take a towel in with me next time. But there's definitely going to be several more next times. It's a good spot and we're both happy with the results ?”
“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!”
“Definitely the cheaper manual wash option, well worth it. Giving it five stars because of the price, would deduce half a star for the non-functional dryer machine that stole a dollar. Put in $4 in quarters and was able to do presoak, high pressure soap, high pressure rinse, wax, spot-free rinse on my sedan. Just got to be quick and it's pretty cheap. Good water pressure, will be back”
