Hoffman Car Wash

Wouldn’t accept my Raindancer Carwash Coupon. I KNOW it’s been awhile since Hoffman took over. Truth is, I live closer to the one on Central Ave., and usually go there. This was kicking around my wife’s catch-​all pocketbook. Never did we see a sign or notice of coupon expiration, but were told that these «coupons will be honored». $ is $ yanowhutahmsayin?

When I first came across Raindancer, I was immediately enticed by the landscaping of the property. It seems that the owners really take their time on its upkeep, which I think speaks volumes in of itself.
Prices are inexpensive, with a basic automatic wash starting at $ 5, with the option of upgrades or the use of the do-​it-​yourself wash.
What makes this place stand out to me it an incident that could have been a potential disaster!!! And although the whole incident was not enjoyable… the staff handled my distress quickly and to my utmost satisfaction!
It all started when I went to wash my car after my workout at Planet Fitness. As I came to the end of the wash, I heard a noise and felt my car shift. I figured it was nothing and proceeded on my way. No more than a couple miles down the road, my tire pressure light came on and by the time I was on the highway, it was clear that I had to pull to the side. AAA came to my rescue and put my spare on. To my dismay, I had a huge irreparable gouge in my tire.
As I awaited a new tire, I called Raindancer and explained what had happened. I was advised to bring the receipt for my tire in to them when I was done and that they would see what they could do. I honestly figured it wasn’t going to go anywhere, but was worth a try… By the end of that business day, they had called me back to not only tell me to pick up a check to reimburse me for the damages, but provided me with a booklet of free washes too. They thanked me for letting them know because it allowed for them to make a repair that could have caused them even more costs and hassle to their customers.
It is a breath of fresh air to come across a business that takes pride in serving their customers as much as Raindancer does. My suggestion… skip the Hoffman train and support Raindancer Carwash. It feels good to support your local business owners, especially when you know that they will support you in your time of need as well. I used to think a car wash was only be a car wash until this happened. Now I will go out of my way to come here.

I rate it a 5 primarily because of its service and price. When you go in, there will be two men spraying detergents all over your car. Then, when you go into the machine whole car would be washed. I got a undercar wash for only $ 6. That is a price that you can never find in the Capital District. They also have wash-​it-​yourself stations (which I was originally thinking about getting), so that if you want to save even more money. The only complaint I have is where it is located, which is quite far off from the City of Albany (10 min)

This is my favorite place to get my car washed, primarily because it’s cheap. It’s about 5 bucks for a basic wash.
In addition to the automatic wash, they have several wash-​it-​yourself stations and vacuum machines, along with change machines (smart! i never have enough quarters) and a fun little vending machine full of car air fresheners, etc.
I suspect this place is independently-​owned, which admittedly also wins me over.
