Decent service, initially manual spray down, the automatic machine. Would just be good if there was a chamois at the end to remove drips and streaks.

My Windscreen was smashed in IMO Car Wash

My back windscreen was smashed while in the drive through car wash, I was given an incident report form detailing the damage and photographs were taken. However I have been unable to make any contact with this company for more than 10 days on any of the contact information that I have been given. Beware of this company! There is no customer service accessible.

Quick and simple

Quick and simple, but have noticed several times now there are bits still dirty when I exit. The 'pressure wash' before had depends who does it and how bussy they are. Sometimes a VERY fast spray which will miss areas

A Spotless wash, from a great team

The people at Chelmsford are friendly and polite, the wash is decent and gives a good finish, The actual car wash is looking a little tired these days.
Overall experience is good, your car looks spotless after a run through !

The brushes are filthy

The brushes are filthy and need replacing i use this car wash regularly and the maintenance just seems poor , the lads prefer cash as they pocket it and the take more care in the pre wash by getting cash they tend not to like the prepaid qr codes the wash inside is just full of moss and mould it seriously needs attention as it's just making the vehicles dirty instead of clean
