Online Reviews
“Awesome staff, very friendly. Also,
the line moves very fast and the
works wash is the best!”
“Awesome staff.. and outstanding
deals.. free unlimited vacuums!! My
absolute favorite carwash!”
“The Works wash package is what I
decided to get knowing my car’s
body, wheels, and tires will look
shiny after the wash just like it did
when I drove it off the New Car lot.
The person in the vacuum area
approached me to ensure my wash
exceeded my expectations! It was
completely unexpected for I noticed
she was cleaning out the trash bins.
What great customer service at a car
wash?! I’ll be signing up my family’s
vehicles!”
“We LOVE Tommy’s Express! We
have an unlimited wash membership
and we can go through the wash
daily if we want! I work in
construction and I like to keep my
truck clean. THIS IS THE BEST! I
always have the nicest truck on site
because I can wash as much as I
want. Highly suggest.”
