Sweetwater carwash new policy
 
Went to get car washed at Sweetwater at Trailwinds yesterday, There were no cloths in the trays at the vacuums to wipe down car. After walking to the office, I and others were advised that to get the cloths we had to leave our divers license, write down our name and phone number and the number of cloths we were using. After returning the cloths, we could have our license back.
Go there every few weeks and this is apparently their new policy.
I am not giving some kid i do not know my drivers license. They said it is due to the cloths being stolen. Needs to be a better way. Will not go back there

Unfortunately the policy has been in place for a month.

Those were always pretty tiny to wipe down the car...................they were for small spots.

B.Y.O.T.

It sounds like a bad policy. Some people will forget to pick up their license.

Personal responsibility. Anyone seen it lately?

Throw one (or keep one in your vehicle) It’s much easier. And Sweetwater was the only car wash I’ve ever been to that even supplied them. Love that car wash and their unlimited wash plans.

Another business crossed off my list. Guess it never occurred to them to ask for a small deposit?

I use the touchless wash at Sam's Club for 7 dollars. The interior can stay dirty until I sell the car.

Can’t wipe entitlement! I’m more concerned about the 12 oz package of bacon that was a 16 oz package… it’s everywhere and nothing we can do, nobody sticks together anymore

How hard is it to have two rags in the car if you know you are going to wash the car

retiredguy123 02-21-2023 07:57 AM

Wouldn't it be a better business decision to just sell the rags?

What's the big deal??? Bring your own cloth and you don't have to mess with anything. The problem with deposits is now you have accounting involved and someone has to manage cash, that's a bigger problem than leaving your license. It all comes back to personal responsibility. Keep an old clean towel in the car, behind the back seat..... After you use it, throw it in the wash and put another one back there. You can always use it. Looking at the picture provided, you can't always find a napkin in all of that so you can use it for that or spillage if it happens...

Could you imagine how many towels get stolen ever day? they have to have a policy to reduce that.

Oh no. This is terrible.

Didn't seem to be an issue until the apartments behind them become more occupied.
