$1 Car Wash offers 24-hour self-service car wash bays. Customer reviews report significant price increases and frequent equipment malfunctions.

One customer reported a significant price increase and equipment malfunctions, stating, "**9/6/23 UPDATE** I do not recommend this car wash at all. First off, they increased the prices by 20%. YUP you heard me, TWENTY percent! In just 4 months. That’s SO insanely high for any car wash. What used to be $5 for 10 minutes now costs $6. I decided to continue on with the wash, coughed up my money via Apple Pay, and to my shock…. I was only given 7 minutes. Like what? And due to the nature of this being a 24 hour car wash, there is no one to help. So I sucked it up, and lo and behold, my wash control dial isn’t working. I was only able to use the weak wash and soap settings. Everything else was out of order. So terrible. You’re better off taking your money to another self service wash (I heard Lincoln and Western has a good one) but please don’t give your business to this spot, for the sake of your wallet, time, and sanity." This review highlights concerns about excessive price increases, reduced time, and malfunctioning equipment.

Another customer reported issues with equipment failure and lack of refunds, stating, "This place has really gone worse over time, price is up, pressure soap is empty, and now the machine just died after swiping card to activate it with no refund, look for a new place." This review further emphasizes concerns about equipment malfunctions and lack of customer support.

An older review from June 2023 mentioned the convenience of Apple Pay and the power of the tools, but also noted concerns about the minimum spending requirement, stating, "**old review 6/2023** Pretty good self service wash. The facilities were well maintained. There are 4 stalls. I was pleased to see that they took Apple Pay, which is so convenient!! I still used quarters, and you can see the prices in my photo. I docked a star from my review because the prices don’t seem very friendly to those who want to be more conservative in their use. It requires a minimum of $2.50. Which allows for 4 minutes of use time. Luckily I was able to rinse, soap, and rinse in those 4 minutes. I believe you can continuously add quarters to up the time during the wash, however once your time is up, you gotta cough up the $2.50 minimum again. Otherwise, you can pay $5 for a hefty 10 minutes. For me, the pricing design seems kind of a turn off since you can get a $5 car wash from an automatic place down the street. But I did appreciate how easy this was to use, and that I can do a touch less wash is super convenient. The tools themselves were powerful enough to clean the dirt off my car and some squashed insects as well from long drives. I would suggest coming during non-peak hours, like lunch time, so that you can take your time to learn the tools and dry under the shade. I would go here again!" This older review provides a contrast to the recent negative experiences.
