National Pride Car Wash

Quick review: I do like self service car washes and this place is pretty solid usually; however, the last time I went (5÷30÷16) the hose on the power sprayer had a hole. Now if you have ever used power sprayers you know how dangerous this is with all the pressure the hose has. Well, since I committed $ 10 before knowing this I tried to clean my car despite the issue: let’s just say I got soaked and my fingers lost some skin when I accidentally touched the hole in the process of cleaning (all my fault I agree). But that is not why I am writing this review, I’m writing this review due to the lack of response and general concern for my plight, as even today (6÷1÷2016) I have not received a call back from this establishment after leaving a detailed voicemail discussing the issue and providing my call back details, I even discussed that if the next person wasn’t careful the power sprayer was likely to pop out of it’s holster and possibly break a window from the hose waving widely: like a firehose without a fireman.
Hopefully they fixed this issue, as clearly their primary focus is collecting quarters and deleting voicemails versus providing service.

Used the self car wash because I have a rack on my car. Washed it, seemed to be doing okay. Then after I vacuumed out my car, I noticed this hazy film of soap all over my car. So not only did I waste money for nothing, I have to go back home and hand wash my car to get this ugly looking film off my car. Will not be returning.

We are car people, aficionados if you will and we don’t normally take our vehicles thru car washes, we do it ourselves. They are investments and our babies.
Hubby spotted this place and we decided to cautiously give it a try. First off there is way too much crap piled into a small lot. You have several big «do it yourself» wash bays and also a bunch of vacuum’s etc. Very congested. It appears there is a «live» person around if you need help.
Right as you pull in if you stay to the right you are headed towards the brush-​less car wash. If there are more than 5 people in line, you are out of luck. We approximated it takes about 5 minutes per car. It is all automagic, you put in your card or cash and can pick your wash. We did the super deluxe and it was $ 12.00 I believe.
It truly is brush-​less. you pull in when the light turns green and it moves around your car, no touching involved. At the end you pull thru some heavy duty dryers. I was skeptical, but it did a really nice job, we have black paint too!
I would probably use it again, job well done!

Great car wash… HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. After being stopped and verbally abused by the manager for driving into a bay with cones, I’ll never go here again.

This place is excellent, automatic or manual car wash as well as dry or wet vac and car scents available — including trash cans to throw away things you don’t need. The automatic car wash does undercarriage as well as low or high pressure wash — wax, shine, etc. I found the «full-​monty» still doesn’t get all the bugs off the lower front of the vehicle so you may want to have a damp rag to wipe that off.
Great for cleaning if someone vomits inside your vehicle cab!

I go here all the time. I love how you just park you’re car and it does the rest. I especially don’t like it when the car is being hit by those sponge things at other car washes, where over here it’s just pressured water.

Omg talk about waiting thirty minutes for the slowest most outdated piece of junk ever to still operate! Please dont waste your time or money on this car wash! It is so slow!

Got «some» dirt off ;)

If you don’t read through to the end… Do not go here!!! I used this car wash (touch free) on the way home from a trip and boy, did I regret it. Some chemical in their formula oxidized every piece of chrome on my car. Of course, I didn’t see it until I got home. Called them, get routed to some guy’s cell phone voice mail. Several days later he calls back and basically says that it is impossible that it happened because he would have had more complaints. As if I would vandalize my own brand new car! I was devastated! I said I would bring the car down, he told me his hours. Drove all the way down there and no one around. I called the number again and he said he just left. I ended up turning into my insurance, $ 1700 repair. I called back and said if they could even help me with a portion of the deductible I would be a happy customer. Nope. They didn’t even offer to give my $ 10 back!!! This business does not take care of their customers. Do not go here!!!

pretty good. i couldn’t figure out the damn’ electronic or automated payment machine. This concept seems ideal. Pull up, no human contact, put $ in, get car washed. I had a card «user error», I don’t know if I can describe how lame I was, but I left and came back to get my car washed. I used cash this time — -change given in DOLLAR COINS.
I went for the deluxe wash. $ 12. Car is shiny. Good Luck in inserting credit card.
I think it’s a good wash place.

$ 2 for four minutes to wash your car. It’s not a hand wash, but it’s better than the drive thru car wash. This is a great pit stop after a road trip. Too bad it’s not just a little closer to the highway to get that nice speed dry after the car wash.

UPDATE:
after a few weeks I received a call. It was a manager asking about my voice mail. (better late than never?) He got my address and sent me double what I lost so I guess that makes up for it.

This review is for the hand wash station which is pretty decent. This place has 3 or 4 hand wash bays as well as an auto wash. Whenever I have the chance, I always prefer to wash the car by hand.
It’s $ 2.00 to get the wash going, but it only gives you a few minutes, if you read the machine it shows you how the time breaks down. By putting in more quarters, the time will dramatically increase. I put in $ 6.00 in quarters and was able to fully scrub my car, wax it, and rinse it.
The tripple wax is great in my opinion. I didn’t get the psychadelic photo of this place until I used the wax. It shoots out green, purple and white. Ahhhh yes… now it all makes sense.
The vacuum sucks. haha, get it?
The hose I was using to vacuum the car out was cracked all the way down the side, I was able to clean the car out, but it did cost a bit extra with the suction lacking.
I would go here again, but would prefer to check out a few others places first.

Well, I can’t review the wash itself because I never received it. But the service? It’s terrible. I attempted to use the automated wash and chose the Deluxe wash ($ 8).. However, nothing happened. Eventually, I drove through, then parked to look for the attendant, who I had just seen before I went in. I figure he can just reset the machine. Apparently, he had left for the day. After searching for a phone number for quite awhile to no avail, I finally looked the business up online.
When I explained my situation to the receptionist at their headquarters, he directed me to the Washington number, as he didn’t have the Oregon number on file. He told me these two owners are brothers. I then left a message on this number. After searching the location further, I finally found another (Oregon) number, which I also left a message on.
About 30 minutes later (after I’m already back at work), I receive a call back from the owner. He tells me that he can send me a check to cover the cost of the wash, if I want. I tell him I appreciate that, but due to all the time and trouble I’ve spent on this (my entire lunch break and then some, along with several phone calls), it’d be nice if they’d still wash my car as well. He agrees that that’s a fair way of handling the situation. He tells me he’ll get an attendant to meet me out there once I’m off work.
A few hours later, I receive another call back, stating the time the attendant will be there. He then tells me that he only has the $ 7 he has in his pocket to give me, as he has no access to money, but I can schedule another time to come back and get the remaining $ 1 refunded. I tell him that this is turning into quite a hassle just to get my $ 8 back. It’s only a $ 1 difference, but I really don’t think it’s too much to ask to receive a FULL refund for a service I NEVER received. I ask if he can maybe just give me a basic car wash voucher or something (which I think was about $ 6), to make up for the trouble and all the time wasted, rather than having me drive all the way out there AGAIN. He says «What do you want me to do? Give you $ 100?!» I was honestly trying to work with them, even though it was a little ridiculous they were making me jump through all these hoops just to get my money back, but then I get that kind of attitude on top of it?

Hands down my first choice is a hand-​wash but until I found a place that specialized in hand detailing the brush-​less automatic was my ultimate go to. For those a little more adventurous there are wash ports where you can pull up and hand wash your car but I have yet to venture to that side of the lot and am comfortable making the hard right turn into the auto-​wash.
For $ 9 you can get the deluxe package that leaves you with a nice shine. It isn’t the greatest and your wheels will show living proof of such. This car wash by no means is comparable to a fully detailed hand wash that costs at least twice as much but it is surely enough to get the job done. Additionally, if you’re feeling like the lady from the Pine Sol commercials you are more than welcomed to pull up to one of the ports and Mr. Clean your way to a perfect shine using good ol’ elbow grease!

NOPE! Never again! Came in to wash my car personally as I don’t care for the machine washes and put my $ 2…got half my rig soapy… and BOOM! No more time left. Didn’t have but a $ 10 bill on me so went to get change… change machines 1 AND 2 were broken. No one is on site mind you if you are in need of help. So what do I do? They have a machine wash on site. I pay an additional $ 7 for the cheapest wash available… wait 15 min. in line since each wash takes 5 – 8 min. per car dependent on what the person in front of you purchases. This took my entire hour lunch break… to was a friggin car. Ugh.

This is your standard self-​serve car wash. I think it’s okay if you are here for washing. The soapy brush pumps out plenty of suds. The water spray is powerful enough to blast off any dirt or bird poop you have on your car.
However, I have to say that the vacuum stations are completely underpowered. I wasted over three bucks finding this out.
