Arrow SRic Car Wash Review

THE BAD:

Just had a bad experience at GEM AUTO WASH on Freeport Blvd in Sac. Would STRONGLY advise against going there.
-Continuously rev'd my car.
-Honked the horn a few times while going through the wash.
-Turned on my turbo timer.
-Cranked up the radio.
-Cranked up the A/C.
-Did a **** poor job on the interior and rims.
I have auto lock and it req. someone to be in the car from when they start at the vaccum, wash and dry.
I asked to talk to the manager (HE WAS THE ONE IN MY CAR!) told him I didn't appreciate him burning my clutch and he proceeded to tell me the features about my car (lmfao). I didn't notice the interior things until I got in my car. Needless to say they won't have a returning customer.

THE GOOD:

Kelly's car wash (any location).
-You drive your own car.
-Pay 1/3 as much as I did @ GEM.
-They do a quick dry.
-Wheel dressing is offered.
-BUT, you have to vaccumn and it's free!

Managers think they can get away with **** because they are the highest up there at the time, but until you get to the owner, there is always someone higher up to complain to. But really, what are you going to get out of it? A free carwash at the same place? $10 cash?

-1 for no bikini car washes!

Didn't complain to him to get a free carwash that'd be no use being that I'm NEVER going there again.
