O’brien Highway Shell

This review is just about the car wash. I had no trouble with the gas pump.
I don’t recall the exact words, but they are something like «spotless rinse» and «power dry» or similar. Well, just take a look at the picture. Really bad job cleaning, rinsing and drying the back of my car.
For $ 10 I was expecting something better.

Total disaster when I went here for a fill and a carwash. The listed price for the car was was $ 7.99 but they charged me $ 9.99. When I went in to complain, the attendant refused to refund my $ 2. He even went so far as to roll his eyes and say, «seriously? is this worth your time?» Umm, yes, it is. They charge the wrong prices and act like the customer is at fault. STAY AWAY.

In regards to the carwash. I have used this carwash for a few years now. It is the carwash on the Shell property and it is called «Soogie Carwash» when I receive my cc billing statement. I found that it is the cheapest around and offers alot. The past two trips through first in my own car and the second in my friends car have been deplorable at best. It’s automated as in your car is on a rail while in neutral as it is washed. The first incident was a bit hairy as there is a gated chainlink fence protecting a dumpster immediately to the left of the carwash exit. On this visit, the gate was open flapping back and forth… There would be no way my car would not be able to avoid it. I saw it coming while I was being sent through the carwash. As you can imagine, it created a bit of anxiety because there would be no way to avoid hitting it on the way out. As I exited the wind blew the gate shut enough for me to squeak by without making contact. Disaster averted. Tonight I went through as a passenger in a friend’s pickup truck. I noticed the gate to be shut completely BUT the plastic curtains towards the end were not closed enough because they were broken. They are not to touch any car however the first ¹⁄₃ of the truck from passenger side was slightly damaged/​scratched from the plastic curtains slamming against the truck. Being on an automatic rail there is no way to avoid them. The first incident I believe is human error, somebody simply didn’t lock the gate… The second incident is neglect on whoever runs the carwash. There is video surveillance documenting both and I invite the owner to at least check out the second incident since it happened about 10:30 pm, Four hours ago. Beware that this carwash can damage your vehicle.
