Awful experience

Awful experience. About 80% through and car starts going backwards and turned so heading straight for the wall. Slammed brakes on just in time to stop car from hitting the wall. No-one about so had bo choice but to drive car out.

Normally good, not this time.

Normally it’s a pretty good clean. This time the car came out still dirty. Windscreen still covered in bugs and dirt all over the back of the vehicle.

Long long wait and dirty car at end

Extremely long wait considering only 3 cars in front of me. Took over 40 minutes to get through whole wash.
Car was still dirty afterwards! Won't be returning

App was troublesome

App was troublesome, and then adding the payment caused a few issues,and then when I got to the front of the queue, the machine wasnt working so couldn't use the pre paid one and learnt that it has en expiry date.... which I may not need now. Not a great start. Wash itself was good,and staff friendly

Not as clean as on previous occasions

Although the car came out cleaner, the attendant missed parts of the car that the car wash doesn’t get. My wing mirrors and part of my boot were still dirty
