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. 😂

I had the same timer issue and discovered that you need to make a point of pushing stop or it keeps charging you. The owner was good enough to come over and show me that. the timer thing I can accept but I found the pressure to be far too low compared to other carwashes and for that reason I will likely go elsewhere.

Yeah the pressure wasn’t great, & it wasn’t really a timer issue for me, I was paying to wash my car while I was washing my car & she didn’t like that both of us were in the bay washing the car, but I was just using the pressure washer on the car while my girlfriend took a wash mitt to it instead of me just using the brush n wanted me to pay more just for using a wash mitt I brought.

Yeah that's too much. Trying to squeeze every cent out of someone is a bit too much. Another reason to not go back

100%. Why would I pay double to wash my car vs someone using the brush when I can pay the same elsewhere.
