Never used this car wash before - so hadn’t got a clue. Could have had some more information displayed, but I worked out what I was doing and the attendant was brilliant.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

8 out of 10 times the car is clean but more importantly it’s how customer service handle the 2 other times. I have had a good experience with the latter

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Easy process of getting the car washed after loading the app on my iPhone and buying a particular wash for the car. The attendant was polite and helpful.

For a £20 wash the finished clean is…

For a £20 wash the finished clean is just not good enough… the queue was long and the Team rushed me the through not taking their time to get the pre-clean done. The drying is now poor as they rely only on airflow now…. It’s not really worth the money, a cheaper hand wash is better nowadays

Fuming

Was working as a driver for a high end firm and I usually was the car elsewhere, but their facilities were out of action.

Very impressive system for payment, easy and straightforward. Staff were polite and professional, washed the car. Stopped to examine it very briefly and there were 2 to 3 parts that the machine, didn't clean very well and it was so visible.

I didn't stop to address it as I was on a tight schedule to collect a client. As soon as I dropped the client off an hour later, i examined the car.

3 huges scratches on a brand new Audi, two on the bonnet approx 20 - 30 cm in length and one on the nearside front wing, again of similar length. Then there was a multiple scratches on the offside of the vehicle. I was fuming and gutted in equal measure. Seriously, never again. Hand wash only. Pointless complaining as I can imagine their terms and conditions will stop any chance of repairs being covered.

The Bootle site needs a good upgrade

Quite often I go to the Bootle site and either the wash I ordered isn’t working or there is some mechanical failure. Last time I went, they ran out of foam. I was told it would be the same wash…… it wasn’t. I still had marks on my car and window that would normally wash off

Faulty and poor finish

The system stopped part-way through the wash and took a while to restart. No advice was given throughout - we were just left sitting there until it restarted. Once complete, there was still a lot of water droplets in the car leading to water marks and there was still a significant number of bug marks on the windscreen.
