Thrasher’s Corner Shell

Coin car wash sucks… High pressure soap has no soap but just water… Same with tire wash, spot free rinse and foam brush… This place is close to home and is of convenience and was hoping its got decent facilities. I’m not coming back unless owners put some product into water!!!

Had to wash my care when I got home from dirt marks still present. Really, I would avoid these guys.

Got my car washed here instead of going to Chevron where I usually do. More expensive than Chevron for the same results. The guy running the car wash yelled at me for not pulling my car up correctly, then continued to talk trash about me while they were washing it and I was sitting inside. Will not be returning.

I should have read the reviews of this place before I went there today. I washed my car at the self-​serve car wash. I drove to three different vacuums because one had no suction and one was missing the nozzle. In the stall I used, some of the selections did not work. The bubble brush barely put out any soap and the bubble brushes in every stall were filthy and beat up. I was surprised at what poor condition the equipment was in because this place is in a nice area and looks totally decent from the street. With the amount of money I wasted there I could have easily paid a full-​service car wash to do everything I did. I will not be back.

great carwash, friendly staff.

My wife drives a hybrid car and watches the fuel consumption very carefully. (with an «Angry Bird» kind of passion.) She noticed that when she filled up at this Shell station, she got 2 mpg less fuel performance, and this is repeatable. I notice the pump is difficult to use because of the anti-​drip mechanism. Coupled with difficult path to leave the place, this gas station is not a great experience.

The only scratches on my Mini Cooper are from this car wash and every time I look at them, it makes me sad. If your business model is to save money by not using water in a pre-​wash, I would hope that you would be accountable for the results. I notified the manager straight away, and he acknowledged the scratches and gave me Mr. Win’s contact information (I also left my business card). I had to track Mr. Win down, and not only was he evasive, but he was rude as well. I left with a scratched bumper and I never even got my $ 9 back. Beware.

I’m giving 2 stars because I’m in a good mood, not because they actually deserve it. What I’m wondering is WHY DON’T THE OWNERS READ THESE LOUSY REVIEWS. and do something about it???
I’ve been getting my cars washed here for years e cause its close to home, and there’s no other choice! I can’t stand to drive a dirty car… so alas I grin and bear it. But it’s a crummy wash, half of the vacuums are broken, their gas is absurdly expensive, and the entire family who runs the place is SO GROUCHY,!!! enuff said… if someone was saying this bout MY business, I’d want to know…

it seems that i’m not the only one complaining about this place, if anything happens to your car at the place they would not help you at all, This is the worst place i ever go to wash my car.
I was washing my car the coin car wash and the machine stole my money, I went and complain about to a old guy and he start yelling at me that the machines always working perfectly and that he doest not believe what i said. I did not bother to call the owner, because i know that he will just said BS to me. He even was yelling at me and saying that i was dumping garbage in the garbage container just because i was next to it.
Please save your money and your time by not going here.

DO NOT WASH YOUR CAR HERE. I have a brand new truck they scratch the heck out of it with their brushes. When they prewash the car with the brushes they have no clue what they are doing. I watched them use dry brushes on the car in front of me. When I got out of the car wash, I had fine scratches all along the rear fender. You can see what they did. They used the brush on the running boards, pickup all kinds of gritty dirt then ran the brush along the fender. The tail light and corner of the rear bumper where also scratched.
The manager said there was no way they did that I had must of brushed up against a bush. That is just BS. The scratches where not random or straight, they where in a sweeping motion following the outline of the fender. He said go ahead and take them to court because their brushes can’t make those kinda of scratches. Well they can if the bush is full of gritty dirt and not washed out.

Avoid this place like the plague. I went in to get some quarters for the coin-​op car wash and the older man running the place didn’t look very friendly.

I’m glad I read these reviews before I tried to talk to a manager. Seems that I’m not the only one with an issue with this place. I’ve been going to this gas station and car wash for a decade. Not because it’s great, it’s because it’s close. Yesterday I had an interaction with the car wash guy that fancies himself the «lead.» Rude, aggressive and unprofessional.
When a customer makes a faux pas, you politely remind them about how things work. You don’t belittle them, you certainly don’t hurl epithets. They are customers who are paying for a service, not abuse. When I called him on bad behavior, things went from bad to worse and we ended up in a screaming match. if I was half the man I used to be, he’d be waking up in Harborview. I had to walk off in frustration because I have too much to lose if ended up smacking this guy.
Now, this employee looks an awful lot like the manager guy in the station, so I figure there’s a nepotism thing going on and talking about my negative experience is probably a waste of time/​air. Probably a safe bet that the reason the employee feels he can get verbal with a customer is because he’s comfortable in his position. That comfort probably comes from knowing that his brother is running the joint and is therefore untouchable.
So after reading the reviews about similar incidents… now I know for sure, that doing anything other than taking my business elsewhere would be pointless.
So I warn you dear reader… we’ve got a real good pattern emerging of a BAD business. It’s a telling indicator when I write something like this, because I’m the kind of guy that never complains or points fingers at the worker bees. Most people don’t intentionally try to ruin relations with customers, you know? These people need a good hard kick in the rear. The best way to do that is not go there.
Seriously, I’d rather drive to another city and spend twice as much money on a car wash than deal with the meth heads working at that place. If there was a tab for MINUS stars, I’d give it a negative five. It’s THAT bad.

Update: Owner paid and now calling to ask my employees for my number to get a hold of me regarding review– I feel that is innaporpriate and because of this drawn out unfortuante process i will no longer be bringing my of van through this car wash. nice he paid– unhappy with the process with the owner– it could of been handled/​resolved much more proffesionally than it was, and please dont bother calling me further

So I got my 2000 Mercedes washed at the Thrashers Corner Shell and Car the other day. Their was a young guy pre washing the car before it entered the wash. During the prewash the guy broke my windshield wiper. No big deal I though, I will contact the owner and get it replaced. Man was I wrong. I have yet to talk to the owner, Dan Win.
Their was an old funny looking guy attending the counter by the name of Jessie. After telling him what happened he started cussing up a storm, yelling, and telling me that he couldn’t do anything about it. What a dick!
The unfortunate individual told me to contact the owner; he gave me his name and the number to the store. I call on Sunday and leave a message, I am told the owner, and Dan Win of Bothell will return my call. By Monday end of business I hear nothing.
So, after a long day at work (was in the office until 8pm) I call the store expecting to leave a message. This Jessie guy answers the phone. I tell him that I want to leave a message. Knowing that it tends to rain in Seattle, I tell him that if I don’t hear anything back I will go ahead and fix car and expect to be reimbursed for my costs.
The looser starts yelling at me again, telling me that Dan Wins Lawyers are going to bury me, that I have no ground in my request, he starts upping words in my mouth, etc… This guy told me that I said that I would call the cops; I never said anything about that. What a flake.
Anyway, I don’t know whose teeth I am going to have to pull to get my windshield wiper fixed. I’m glad that I can edit these reviews because I would hate for this guy to have such a bad vibe about his business.
Next time you are thinking about getting your car washed at thrashers corner shell and car wash, 425−398−3774, turn around and go somewhere else.

Finally, a passable car wash in the state of Warshington. (Why do some folk add an «r» where clearly none exists?) Anyway, I digress… this drive-​through car warsh is attached to a Shell station, so you get the obligatory upsell when you’re done pumping gas. There’s a pleasant fellow who takes your car wash code and scrubs down your ride before entering the tornado-​in-​a-​tunnel, and a series of blow driers at the end. No attendant to help dry off the whip, but hey, what do you expect for a sub-​$ 10 wash? At least the outside gets nice and clean for five minutes until it starts raining again. Also, no interior love but they’ve got vacuums and stuff if you’re feeling uppity.
