Reasonable rate with good washing. However there were some negatives like wheel cleaning is not enough. The drying option should be more deeper.

Car wash made not to simple

The service was quick and simple until I encountered issues with the QR code. The process initially seemed straightforward, but it was unclear that the operator needed a copy of the QR code for the automated system to work.

This requirement was not explained clearly, and I had to log out of the app and then log back in to access the QR code again. This made the process confusing and frustrating. There is also a risk that users could accidentally pay twice for the service because of this lack of clarity.

Overall, the service itself was efficient, but the QR code process needs to be explained more clearly to avoid confusion and potential duplicate payments.

After receiving a free car wash…

After receiving a free car wash voucher, I joined a queue at my local IMO car wash. With a large queue behind me I was informed the code would not work. As I could not reverse out I paid for a car wash. I emailed IMO and explained what happened. After a month, still no reply.

Flat tyre

The car got clean but most importantly, the person attending took a moment to let me know one of my tyres looked flat and I could resolve it during the weekend before work on Monday, it had a small puncture, so thank you.
