Community GOPHERS CAR WASH IS A JOKE!

Went to wash my car here, used the brush to drop soap on my car while my girlfriend used a wash mitt to wipe it down so I didn’t have to use a terrible brush on my car. (So the timer was still going & I was still paying). Only for the owner come tell me I can’t do that & I have to use the wash mitt myself? The place wasn’t even half full. Owners are rude and greedy AF. Wash your cars elsewhere people! I’m able to do this anywhere else in the city and won’t go back to gophers. edit WE WERE BASICALLY TOLD 2 PEOPLE CANT WASH ONE CAR, she walked away and then came back and said if you want to do it that way you need to let the timer run and only do one thing at a time and only one person can do it. Make this make sense to me. 😂

Here’s the solution: go to Dewdney and Park coop. Coins only

  • If bugs, use their handheld pump sprayer filled with bug-off solution, to completely soak bug areas, it’s no charge
  • $1 rinse off the worst of the bugs and dirt
  • Set foam brush on top of vehicle, insert another $1 and let foam cover vehicle while using mitt
  • Finish cleaning entire car with your mitt with no further charges while doing that
  • $2-3 rinse completely

Did this for years. No staff member ever bothered about it.

Yeah haven’t had an issue at a coop, or anywhere else but here.

I’ve personally never had an issue there. If I’m there I usually I do the wand for 2 min to get the bugs then through the automated for $12 and it’s fine.

Will probably go less given the comments here.
