I was very impressed that my car was sprayed down by a human before entering the automated car wash. I’ve used the car wash at Sainsbury’s before and came out with many dirty spots remaining. Today my... See more

Unfortunate

For the 1st time, I bought on the app b4 leaving home to wash car that morning as I was going on a trip away. Sadly, on arrival it was closed for maintenance. I had to go to a different local was. I feel mean giving 1 star as this was just unfortunate for me. But I usually hand-wash my car so this was an expensive morning as I paid twice. I have no idea when I might use it. I would not have relied this but....you asked me to.

Disappointed with wash at Wrexham Branch

Disappointed with the wash on this occasion. It didn’t remove some of the bird droppings off my roof, which were easily wiped off by myself when I got home. Also the long drying mats that hang and move over your car at the end of the wash were not there. They had been taken off and were lying on the side. They should tell you this before you enter the car wash as you are not getting what you are paying for.

Avoid smart pay & Banbury!

Smart pay didn’t produce an email so I was stuck in a queue and even though I could show the payment had been taken via my banking app they made me pay again before allowing me through- I couldn’t turn round. Email came yesterday & I had the car washed on Wednesday so nearly 3 days later! £41 it cost!!!!! Disgusting service

A satisfying experience

As an elderly person, I used IMO Car Wash for the first time. Having managed to find the QR code with very limited technical skills, I was pleased to find the whole process was easy. I shall certainly use IMO again.

All the staff are amazing

All the staff are amazing. Always helpful, friendly and respectful.
The grounds around the car wash are being updated - the car wash itself definitely needs an update, very tired and worn.

Overdue renovation

The staff were very friendly in Norwich, but the car wash itself seems tired and in need of renovation. It left streaks and spots of product all over my car.
