“Absolutely recommend! Stopped in to cheer up my son who had just gotten shots. Clean bathroom, lots of choices for a reward for being so brave. The best of all, an exceptional car wash! (We had just traveled up north and drove home at night, so my suv was heavy with bug splatter.) The attendant was so kind and worked extra hard to remove all the bugs! My son loved the lights and colors. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the amazing service!!”
