I've been using the drive-thru car washes for years and have found them to be just fine. Where once upon a time, drive-thru car washes used revolving brushes that would scratch the car surface, they now use cloth strips. The recently opened car wash on Parr Drive has the best vacuum system around. I believe the price is $10 for a basic car wash, and they don't accept cash payment; everything is by credit card. The only problem I see with this particular business is its location. Seldom do I see more than one or two cars in the vacuum area, so I expect them to be out of business if traffic doesn't pick up. Try them, I don't think you'll regret it.
