Marc-1 Car Wash

This place is garbage. I took my dirty car there and was approached by an employee and told my car was «too dirty» for the car wash. Keep in mind this isn’t some old beater woods truck. It’s my daily driver Xterra well kept and maintained and after coming back from a fishing trip I was flat out refused service. I will never be coming back for a car wash and will be spreading the bad word on how I was treated.

This place must be under new management! Prices are up and the service is slow… I’ll be locating another car washer or saving the $ 10.00 to do it myself..

This car wash is in a very conveniently located for folks in Hoover/​Vestavia or anyone passing through on I-​65.
The price is always fair and comparable to other washes around town. It’s super easy to pay and they always do a great job cleaning the «hard to clean» places before you pull through. Once done there a a ton of free vacuums for customers to use. In addition, they have car mat cleaning machines.
If you need a good cleaning, check these guys out.

I’m a real fan of this place (as far as drive-​thru carwashes are concerned)! They’re located in a prime spot on 31 where they are GUARANTEED business. I’ve pulled in here while heading somewhere else before when I wasn’t even intending to end up in their lot initially.
They have PLENTY of «free» vacuums to use, and even a 4 – 5 car section with some soaking brushes to scrub your rims/​wheels, fenders, front bumper or whatever else you’d like I suppose. The prices are standard for these types of places (several packages to choose from) ranging from 5 or 6 bucks up to $ 15. They’ve gone up over the years as has everything else.
The washes are very solid and do a great job getting clean and shining your ride. The dryers don’t get your car 100% dry but I haven’t experienced that since these cheap drive thru’s were a new concept some years ago anyway. It does however make sure to rinse thoroughly enough that any spots that are left are simply water and not soap/​wax that will leave WHITE spots and streaks unless you manually towel off afterwards.
Solid quick car wash!

Did a good job on the car wash, free vacuums. The «dryer» left my car soaking wet though and when I asked for a towel the attendant was very rude in telling me they didn’t have any. The others of this chain in the area do and they are quite friendly.

I really like this car wash! It’s centrally located on 31 across from McDonald’s; with that being said its not always easy getting in and out of this place of business.
Though crowded on a beautiful days, it’s a great place to scrub down your ride. You have the option to pre soak your tires (though I soak my entire car… associates look at me funny. oh well), you can also opp to vacuum your car before or after the wash.
As you drive away the water rolls off your car before drying and its glorious.
Word to the wise: go on a cloudy day in the spring– you’ll be in and out in no time.
Happy soaking!
