There was last night at around 5pm was all lanes full and alineup inside.
I would guess 70 cars trucks for a swirlly wash

JSALES 11-03-2015 01:32 PM

I think I'll have to bring my beater there

dared3vil0 11-04-2015 08:23 AM

Getting busy there as expected, 10 minute wait at like 10:30pm last night.

You came to the party late. I got there at 9:45 after grocery shopping and didn't leave until almost 10:15 last night.

was a bit of suds left over after my wash but nothing serious and my car was fine. I did drive by a lancer on the way out who had something hanging off near the headlight though after his wash. Not quite sure what that was...looked to be some sort of trim.

What car were you in?

Nlkko 11-04-2015 09:06 PM

My front license is relocated to the left and it was bent on the left pretty hard coming out of this car wash. Gone through the Shine @ Terminal multiple time no problem.

Guy turned mine so it was vertical and it came out no issues. Saw a lot of cars with their side mirrors whacked so it was folded out tho.

Nlkko 11-05-2015 12:26 AM

Side mirrors folded came in. Came out unfold.:troll:

Line up of about 6 cars deep at 7:15am when I was headed to work.

Clearly the masses have heard about the free washes.

Klondike 11-05-2015 05:56 PM

Went yesterday there were about 7 cars but it was very short. Surprised I got triple foam with the free wash. :notbad:

FN-2199 11-05-2015 08:31 PM

Has anybody rolled through this wash with aftermarket mudflaps? ie. RallyArmor, Rokblokz, etc.

TypeRNammer 11-05-2015 08:40 PM

I rolled in perfectly fine, rally armor flaps on my Subari WRX.

!Aznboi128 11-05-2015 09:34 PM

I rolled in with a paint peeling miata, more paint came off, wash is mightily powerful :lawl:

Took my Cube and my Evo there tonight. It's really free for November and they're open 24/7! Just go there in the middle of the night for less people! Heck, go in twice LOL I have plastidipped rims and as long as you put your tire to the inside track, I had no damage!

Just remember to put the car in neutral while it's in operation and don't gas it until it says to GO at the end! So many noobs that almost hopped off the track by leaving it in park, leaving it in drive, foot on brake, and pressing the gas too early at the exit... Don't do any of that!! XD It's a little scary when you can't see anything out your windshield yet there's a car a few meters in front and behind you!

Overall it's a decent wash and will get dirt, leaves and major loose dirt off easily. Those caked on bird poop or bug splatters I'd say good old fashioned hand wash is still supreme. Can't say no to free though!

LP700-4 11-08-2015 09:36 PM

They didnt give me any soap on my wash! :rukidding:


Swirls for dayzz

saiko 11-08-2015 09:44 PM

Lol! Where'd the soap go! They cut it off right when you got there :(

Noran 11-09-2015 12:57 AM

no swirls no girls amirite boys?

Bender Unit 11-09-2015 09:44 PM

Just passed by at 9:50pm
Line up were all the way to the entrance....
That's almost 1 hour+ wait time :rukidding:

danned 11-09-2015 09:53 PM

just had 15 minutes wait around 830pm

whitev70r 11-10-2015 06:54 AM

Yesterday, 8:30 am, no wait.

Yesterday, 3:30 pm ... wait was causing traffic problems on that corner, people trying to cut in from outside lane, easily 45 mins wait.

Wondering if they regret the all month free wash thing. Idea:
1. Even if they offered toonie wash for month of Nov, I think they'd still pull in a lot and those toonies would add up.
2. Toonie donation to a cause, Movember, Cancer research or something. That woud bring in a lot of change!

Another 20 days of this mayhem! Advice, go when it is raining.

Nabatron 11-10-2015 09:32 AM

yeah they fucked up with the free car wash thing...should have been a dollor or 2 donated to a charity....

604STIG 11-10-2015 09:42 AM

It's all about marketing and publicity and "free" is getting the job done. Guaranteed they will have a decent turnover of paying customers after this that otherwise may never have gone there.
