Columbus Street Carwash

Stopped yesterday (10/25/18) around 1pm. I paid for the best wash available, charging $8 to my debit card. I waited while the van ahead of me was being washed. Then the fun began. Some of the lights to the left we're not working, so I wasn't sure when to stop and had to pull forward then back up a few times before the sensors were satisfied with my position and could begin. There didn't seem to be much pressure from the wash as there has been in the past. After the fruity scented fushia soapy concoction was sprayed, I expected a heavy stream of water to rinse the suds off but was greeted with a thin trickle instead. I then pulled forward after the water had stopped and the dryer kicked on and proceeded to pull through an air stream comparable to that of about 7 hair dryers, nothing like the 'turbo-dry' that's advertised. I drove back around front (passing the van that was ahead of me in the wash, whose driver seemed rather disgruntled at the state of her van) and bought one of the drying towels for a buck. The purple fruit spray, the lack of a rinse, and the lackluster drying, left my vehicle looking as though it was on the receiving end of a paintball fight. After I was finished rewashing my vehicle with the glorified paper towel, it had gone from white to a lovely charcoal grey color with all of the dirt I cleaned off. I am kicking myself for not just driving across town to the other car wash and instead wasting $9 total on a spritz of water, a slather of purple soap, a proof of air, and then a paper towel to do the work myself. This all being said, I will not be returning and will be alerting those I know not to waste their money (just as I did the car that pulled up while I was wiping m vehicle off and she backed out and went across town).

The car wash it's self isn't anything special. But I was having a problem getting a wash. Called the number in the book. And got a response right away... That's worth five stars.

Gets the job done. Vaccum has good suction.

Good pressure and good brushes. Probably the best pressure in town

Could wash the car a little better. Needs more pressure behind the water
