Splish Splash Car Wash

Worst.Ever.
This place used to be fine a few years ago when I first moved into my house a few blocks away.
I just got back from visiting this car wash to my car and vacuum it for the first time since it got warm.
First bad experience was with the vacuums. They increased the price from $ 0.75 to $ 1, which is be fine with if they used the extra money to upgrade the vacuums. The ones they have are poorly maintained, the nozzles are broken and they don’t suck as well as they used to. I also used to be able to vacuum my entire crossover vehicle with two cycles. This time it took me four. I didn’t time it, but the run time seemed shorter.
Then I pull into the stall to wash the car. I put $ 2 in to start the machine and nothing happens. The clock added time (up to 3:30) but the machine didn’t actually turn on. I first think I miscounted quarters so I put $ 0.50 more in and the clock is no longer counting, the machine is just eating my quarters. So then I think, well, they probably have someone on call for these instances. I’m not upset yet. I look all over the building for a phone number and can’t find one anywhere, so I pull out my phone to look online. Phone number that comes up is a fax because it didn’t ring, there was just fax-​like screeching on the other end. At this point I’m angry, but my car still needs to be washed, so I pull into another stall and proceed to add another $ 2 in coins. It turns on, thank god, but the nozzle leaks everywhere. I did a quick wash and left, completely drenched from the leaky nozzle. Don’t go here. Between increased vacuum costs and machines eating your money, you’re better off going to a professional car wash place. I won’t go here again.

This car wash is an absolute joke! The wax option on the do it yourself car wash station trickled out and barely provided any wax to coat my car. Besides that the Timebox did not have an alarm so it shut off on me twice in the middle of washing the car. I would have been better off going to the gas station on Hampton for the automatic car wash. I will never come here again.

Not impressed. The car wash ate my money. I googled the number and called 314−647−5521 No one answered (i think i got a fax machine) there is no contact info on Splish Splash Sign anywhere. There is no email or website that works. I guess customer service is not a priority at this place of business. oh well, only out $ 4 but i guess it is the principle

Really like this car wash. It definitely does a job on my van. It’s also great they have an attendant that scrubs your wheels before you enter. That’s always what doesn’t get clean whenever you go through an automatic wash.

You will scrape your front end pulling into the stall. The knob says «pre-​soak» and «spot free rinse» but they definitely didn’t work. I wasted half of my quarters waiting for the pre soak.
The place is very clean though.

There really isn’t too many do it yourself car washes around anymore, and finding one that has vacuum’s that work and soap in their washers can sometimes be a challenge in itself.
Splish Splash is one of the few good spots left, and I have been coming here since my last favorite car wash closed down. I like using this wash because the high powered sprays actually work good, and each time I can pull up to any given stall and the vacuum still works great. not to mention that there is actually someone there all the time that can assist you when you have a problem with the vending machines or in a bay with the equipment.
The vacuum’s run 2.00 but the cycle is long and you can most times get your car completely vacuumed in one cycle, the initial wash cycle runs 2.00 as well, but their high powered washers are just that, and WILL get the dirt off your car with minimal work. its also nice to use the foam brushes because they actually have soap (a large amount of it too) coming out to help get your car clean as a whistle.
