Reddington & Company

Not worth it… I was the only person using a stall at the time, I was parked in the first stall next to the equipment room, so the water pressure should have been good. Yet it was way below what it should be and wouldn’t even take the dirt spots left by the latest rain off the surface of a new Lincoln. In fact, the pressure was low enough that I could hold my hand two inches in front of the nozzle and feel no discomfort. (that should NOT be the case) «Cheaping out» on the water pressure just insures the owner of the facility that you’ll be running back to stuff more quarters in… and that’s just what happened. I probably spent 75 cents worth of my time just digging in my pocket to throw quarters at it every time it beeped… and each one only gives you around 30 seconds (?) Come on… I’ll NOT be going there again, there are better self service car washes in the area that have some real pressure behind them. Some take credit cards now so you’re not spending half your wash time feeding it quarters.

There’s not a lot one can say for or against a do-​it-​yourself car wash, unless something really sucks, or something really stands out… So instead of pluses and minuses, here’s the facts:
— Minimum buy in is $ 2.25
— Water pressure is adequate
— Vacuums suck enough (not in a bad way) — there are three available
— Extra time comes at $.25 cents adding about 30 secs per quarter
— Foaming brush heads are smaller than normal, but produce plenty of suds.
One notable: a line tends to form at the lunching hour, especially on the a nice, sunny day following a storm.
