Damaged wing mirror!

One of the machines ripped off the back cover of my wing mirror. What is your insurance policy for issues like this?

Second time I’ve gone in - pre paid for a wash. Money taken from account but no qr code received. Then have to chase customer service who take ages to respond.

The IMO app is faulty and no one cares - paid twice

I recently had an issue with the app when purchasing a deluxe wash. The payment was taken from my account, but the purchase didn’t appear in the app at the time. When I arrived, the manager insisted that because no code had been generated, they wouldn’t allow my car through. I showed clear proof of payment via PayPal, but it was still refused, which was extremely frustrating.

With cars waiting behind me, I felt I had no real choice but to pay again by card just to keep things moving. This was not only inconvenient but also quite embarrassing, as I was holding up other customers. To make matters worse, because the second payment wasn’t through the app, I didn’t receive any loyalty points.

About an hour later, once I got home, the original purchase finally appeared in the app—confirming that I had in fact paid twice. While I understand this may be a franchise operation, a bit of common sense and discretion in that moment would have gone a long way.

I will use the wash currently showing in my app next time I need it. However, the handling of the situation has left a poor impression, and I won’t be returning ever.

Windscreen still showed dry dirt even after the car wash. Had to clean again at home to sort it out.
Light dirt is fine. Heavy or moderate dirt might not be cleaned 100%.
I chose the 3 foam option for my wash.

I love the ease of being able to pay before I arrive. Only thing I’d advice for others is to have the QR code ready to show.
