Texas Shine Express

I thoroughly DISAGREE with the last post. I have had nothing but subpar experiences here ever since I was lured into buying the groupon. Let me explain: I originally came with a free three month wash and dry pass. It was great! Got the car washed, they would scrub it a little with a scrub brush as it entered the «washiing terminal» (my term) and they would hand dry it with a towel. I bought the groupon when my 3 months expired because I was happy with the service… cheap and not a super long wait. It all went downhill from there! Nowdays, I am lucky if there is anyone on duty to help me so that I can enter to get my car washed. No scrubbing, no drying, no assistance! In fact, I went last weekend and there was absolutely NOBODY on duty. I drove all the way there only to drive my poop and urine soaked car (pesky birds and cats in the neighborhood) all the way back home, It’s soo nasty now but, I don’t want to waste another 20 minutes driving there only to see that nobody is there to help me.
Save your money. go to washtub!

I went for the first time last week to redeem a year pass I purchased in a silent auction. So far so good, it’s a quick drive through with the personalized dry after you go through the wash. I felt compelled to tip the guy, but really don’t know if that is standard each time you go. He seemed very surprised. I hope they just let me drive through each time I visit and not upsell me continually. I look forward to a year of car washes at a great deal!

Texas Shine is one of a kind… No, really — it is just that it rhymed. I have only been to one Texas Shine Express place and that is the one on Perrin Beitel.
The first time I drove my car through, I was asked to become a monthly member. At first, I said no — because I say no to every thing membership. Once they started telling me what was all inclusive, I began to think the membership thing would be a great idea.
First, you get $ 20 on a card to use at any Texas Shine Express. You can bring anybody’s car to wash and vacuum. Second, you get all the automated car washes you want for one car. My husband loves his black car sparkling, so we put it on his. I am not kidding, he gets his car washed three times a week. It always looks amazing.
The service is great, they rub down all the water spots and make sure the tires are spotless. If you want to tip, cool — if not, cool.
All for the low cost of $ 33.99 a month. I sound like an infomercial. My only complaint is that Texas Shine isn’t on every corner in San Antonio.
