LRiggs Hurricane Alley Car Wash
Scratched my paint BAD and when I went back to say something I was called a liar and the guy(presumably the older guy yelling at people in other reviews) wouldn't even refund my money let alone do something about the damage to my vehicle.
If you want to be treated horribly and have your car ruined I would highly recommend this place
hawks08 Hurricane Alley Car Wash
Went to hurricane alley and purchased the "premium wash" ($16!). I looked at my car after going through and noticed there was still dirt on it, and overall it was very smudgy and spotty. I figured a 16 dollar car wash should get the car clean so I returned to try to get my money back or at least drive home in a clean car. The man I spoke with was very rude and explained to me that he thought the car was clean. I specifically pointed out the undeniably dirty areas and he finally acknowledged them and said he would let me go through again, but first made it clear that this was a one time thing, and that I would get the cheapest car wash this time around. He continued to explain that I was nit-picking and being unreasonable. Clearly he didn't go to school in public relations, hence that he's still working at a car wash at 50+ years old. My first and last trip to the wonderful hurricane alley

I had exactly the same experience as crazyukrainian today at this carwash. I am unfamiliar with this type of car wash as well and the individual supposedly guiding me in was extremely rude. There is no need to yell at customers. We are your bread and butter--treating customers this way is extremely stupid. I can safely say that I will never return here or recommend another person to this car wash. Disgusting is all I can say. Stay away.

My wife and I both took our vehicles here for the first time on Christmas Eve around 4pm. We were the only 2 vehicles in line and we were communicating via cellphone to pick the wash packages we would purchase. After a few minutes an older gentleman employee approached our vehicle and immediately was confrontational. He asked us what the problem was and why were we just sitting there. I kindly explained to him that the vehicle behind me (my wife) and I were together and were just deciding which package to select. Apparently he didn't understand that for some reason and continued to raise his voice and said that the woman behind me (again my wife) would probably like to get her car washed and that I shouldn't just sit there and block the lane. I explained to him once again that she was my wife (pointing to the car behind me) and said that we weren't blocking anyone as we were the only people in line. He kept up his nonsense mumbling and eventually walked away. He did not seem coherent at all. I found out after the fact that while my wife was pulling into the automated car wash that the same guy began to spray the vehicle and then started yelling and pounding with full force on her window, while very poorly trying to explain how to drive through the car wash (neutral, foot off brake) which were words he never used. He just yelled turn at her to turn her steering wheel and other things that didn't make sense. Eventually another employee had her roll down her window and explain the process to her. My wife had never been in one of the automated car washes before that pull the car with the conveyer. Also, since the old man was spraying the vehicle she could not see the sign to the left that said Neutral, foot off brake, etc... I know how these types work and remember not being able to see the sign because of the heavy spraying. The confrontational, incoherent man must have been in his 70's or older. Not sure if this was the owner an employee. Either way he needs to retire / be let go because you should NEVER treat customers this way. Our cars were cleaned well but customer service SUCKS! This guy was a complete A-hole to my wife and I and has no business being in the workforce. We will never go back again!

Did you say something to them? If so, what did they say? If not, this is a very bad review.

I feel really bad for the person of the previous review... there is nothing positive about that experience. On the other side though I've taken all three of my vehicles to this location (coupe, hatchback, and truck) and have been 100% satisfied with the outcome. The back end of my coupe didn't come clean very well, but it's a short car I understand. The free vacuum usage is awesome, but the power isn't anything to write home about--free is worth my running it over a couple more times!!
Again I feel horrible for "Parrysmom", but I remember there being warnings before you go in and next time I'll be looking to see if there were any warnings about trucks.

I took a brand new truck to the car wash and while it was clean when the wash was completed, the brushes for the bumpers and corners of the automobile left my truck scratched up. I am really not happy with that and won't be using the car was ever again.

I went to this car wash yesterday, because I was very intrigued at the thought of you not reading a warning sign... but there wasn't to my knowledge!! I hope you went back and expressed your concerns with them. Good luck all around! I'm still surprised though, because I’ve been using this one since it opened and have had no issues.
