I was in the market for a car wash today (good Lord, it's been way too long since it's been washed!) and I usually go to Cypress Car Wash (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!). However, I pulled up and there was a sign out front that says ""$8.95 car wash Tue, Wed, Thu."" To me, it was like going to the mall and having the sales attendant say ""If you buy this dress today, it's $50. However, come back tomorrow, and it's on sale for $30."" It's like..why not just sell it to me at the lower price then? You're guaranteed a sale because I might not come back tomorrow!!
Anyways, I told the guy I would be back one of those days and left. However, later in the day, I really wanted a car wash and saw a sign for Cypress Car Spa saying ""$7.95 for regular car wash."" I thought ""Hmm, can't beat that!"" and decided to go.
BIG MISTAKE!!
I rolled on in there and they have the ""Regular Car Wash for $7.95"" HIDDEN on their car wash ""menu."" He kept trying to sell me all of these higher car wash prices and I wasn't buying it. I kept asking him about the $7.95 car wash and he was pretty much telling me that it was a sucky deal. I decided I was going to leave (man, I have NO shame in telling them goodbye I guess) but he literally would not let me go. He kept trying to talk me into a price I was comfortable with. We finally settled on $9.99 for a car wash that included wiping down the interior, vacuuming, and cleaning my rims. I went in, paid, and waited.
I received my car and the second I got in, it did not look any different. My leather didn't look wiped down and my car didn't even smell clean. I drove off and as I was driving, I noticed A TON of water spots on my windows, as if they let my car air dry. There are still bird poop marks on my windows and the top of my car still has dirt on it!!! The spokes of my rims are still dirty and it looks like they only cleaned the lip because there are water spots all over them.
What the **** did I pay for?!? I could have done a better job at cleaning my car with a gas station squeegee!!!
I even went to my friends house afterwards and they noted EVERYTHING that had not been cleaned on my car as well. I would have turned around and went back, but they closed about 40 mins after I left. I'm going to go in tomorrow, guns blazing, DEMANDING a touch up.
The only thing that got cleaned out today was my wallet.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!
(go to Cypress Car Wash [one street up] instead!)
