My neighborhood car wash just installed solar panels. Not just on their west roof but on the east roof too. This will make me feel even better about washing my car. Now I know that some of the energy to wash it will be coming from on-site solar generation. I hope other businesses and homeowners will follow their lead and put solar panels on their roofs. This is a great place to get a car wash too. They have completely touchless bays which are great for not getting swirl marks and other paint abrasions due to brushes.
Always a great value. I can wash my car or my truck, including clear coat in the amount of time given when I deposit $5. The vacuum cleaners are only $1 and lasted longer than I needed to do the whole interior. Seriously, I hung the hose up and it was still running. Also, handy, located behind the North Caseys (the one at Bloomington and Stange).
Great wash. Great Big price increase.
Nice place good price!
Tight wash bays for larger pickup trucks. Great water pressure and drying system though.
High quality car wash that provides manual and automatic wash options. Well maintained and clean.
Did not wash off the tree droppings and sap with the deluxe wash.
Very clean and lots of options in the bay. They also have an automatic and vacuums.
Good value if you wash fast
The auto lines are good, just a lil expensive.
Ive been pleased with the Sudsational Auto Wash in Ames every time I visit. Youll have the occasional bay being down for maintenance, but it is maintained well and issues are fixed quickly. The owners do an excellent job responding to phone calls and e-mails, and make themselves available to fix any issues you may have.All in all, a great experience, good car wash that works every time, and in a convenient easy to find location. Its also always clean and well-maintained, landscaped well, and the building itself looks fairly nice, matching the generally upscale feel of the neighborhood its in.
The timers for the dryer are not set up, and have not been for months. I called and spoke with Ted last week to let him know and he told me he would get them working immediately, but he assured me that the dryers run for 80 seconds. I went through the wash again today and the timers are still not working but I started a timer on my phone to make sure I made it all the way through this time without half of my truck being wet. The dryers shut off at 70 seconds. I called Ted again today to let him know about the problem and that I wouldn’t be coming back. His response - “thanks for your past business.”**UPDATE** 9/18/2019These issues are still not fixed! Do not waste your money. The car wash next to Jiffy Lube on Duff is 100x better and they will rewash your car if it is not cleaned to your satisfaction.
Good wash
Ended up at the wash after shopping and got ripped off! $14.00 I could’ve spent else were; hit mirror on my boyfriend’s truck and told us to exit. Would suggest going somewhere else in town.
I HAVE USED THIS WASH SINCE IT OPENED AS I COULD NOT FIND A TRULY SPOT FREE RINSE ON OUR BLACK CARS. THIS WASH SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD ONE. THEY HAVE A VALUE CARD AVAILABLE THAT CANT BE BEAT. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO TAKES PRIDE IN THEIR VEHICLES TO GIVE THIS WASH A TRY. OH, ONE MORE THING, THEY ARE VERY NICE PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGE YOUR COMMENTS........
The wash does a fair enough job, but there is no attendant on site to resolve issues and Ive yet to get a callback for messages left the number posted at the wash. The first time I used the wash, I paid with a $10 and $5 bill to pay for the $12 wash. A receipt was printed for the $3 difference. I took the receipt to caseys and was told they couldnt refund it because its not part of the store. So I then left several messages to find out how to redeem the refund ticket but after several calls with no return, I gave up... After all its only $3. This past weekend we thought wed give it another try. This time I chose the $9 wash and brought exact change to avoid the problem Id had before. After putting the money in the machine, it only recognized $8 of it and would not accept change for the other dollar. Reluctantly, I chose the print refund receipt option, it said it was printing but apparently the printer was out of paper. If there hadnt been cars behind me, I would he just went elsewhere. Instead I ended up using my debit card to buy a wash. I called the posted number from the lot. I have now left 2 messages requesting a callback to find out how to get my $9 refunded with no return calls. Its really unfortunate that there is never an attendant available, if there were some customer service available it would be a decent wash. Update 10/4/17- not only did I never receive the refund promised but today there are parts of the wash lying on the ground in the bay. I had to get out of my car to move them before I could even go into the car wash.
Easy
Convenient place to wash your car after getting gas at Caseys.
Good price good pressures
Wasnt overly pleased with how clean my truck was after a wash. There are definitely better washes in town for the price.
One star, deserves zero stars! WARNING: if you put $20 bill in slot for wash, instead of change you get a piece of paper saying, get refund from attendant. Guess what? No attendants!!!! Thankfully Caseys gave a cash refund and they dont even own the car wash. Caseys said they get complaints all the time from car wash patrons.
It got the top of my car very clean but didnt even touch the front bumper. This wash might be fine for some models of car, but apparently not a Prius.
Easy automated both light touch and touch free car wash options.
I dont go to this car wash anymore becuase it doesnt get the dirt off my car. I have to go to amother car wash with a higher pressure washer to remove the dirt. They dont have air driers in the manual wash bays also.
I ran my white Lexus through the soft touch $10 car wash. It came out covered with brown stains that were not water soluble! I spent an entire hour removing the stains, inch by inch, with a bug and tar remover. I know the stains were not there before I used the car wash, because I had inspected it when I removed bugs from the front bumper, grill and outside mirrors. The stains covered the hood, drivers side, trunk and roof.This is my second negative experience with this car wash, and I will NEVER patronize it again!!
Damaged car paint. Left scratches on roof. Wax was not able to remove them.
I like this car wash. Theres two car washes. People tend to make two lines and block passage to the manual car washes.
Highly recommend the self service car wash!
Best carwash in Ames
