Tidal Wave Car Wash

This place has allot of potential. The price is by far the cheapest for a «full service» car wash that I have seen and the owner has a very friendly personality. That being said, this place does have a few fatal flaws that keep it from being great. For starters the wait area is almost always extremely hot and uncomfortable in the summer time. I’m all for saving a buck, but you have to keep your customers comfortable. It’s also in need of a good revamp and cleaning. The windows where you watch your car have so much build up on them that you can’t see through them. The bathrooms do not have working locks and last time I was there the water fountains were out of order. There is plenty of seating but the chairs are not the most comfortable and could use a good update. Moving onto the actual car wash itself, there’s a lot to be desired here. I don’t mean to be rude or disrespectful because the owner is always so pleasant but I almost always have to have my car touched up after they «cleaned» it. It’s quite distressing to me when I pay to have my car cleaned and it doesn’t look much better than when I brought it there. I also don’t like I should have to correct the work every time. On top of that the workers expect tips. The only tip I have for them is to learn how to clean a car properly.
