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
Bring an old towel

Easy solution, bring your own larger cloths.

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.

Take note of the sign that describes items that they are not responsible for. The small fin shaped item on the rear roof is not covered if knocked off. A friend of mine had that happened to him and it cost him over $700 to have it replaced because they told him that all of the electronics had to be replaced along with it.

Good for them. Why would I drive to Leesburg when I have SW minutes from my house, just so I could use a towel. Good grief. The stuff people b$#@# about!

You mean like the rags you can literally buy at any store or online?

I’ve used car washes for years. Never had the luxury of towels available for customers.
Usually a vending machine to purchase towels.

Strongly agree. Seems such a simple answer (and one that might help them retain, not loose, customers) to ask for an alternative to a D. L. SHOWING is one thing, asking to keep a D.L. out of the sight of the owner.... does not seem like a good policy when a $5, or several other options would do. But, everyone has the right to run their business their way !

They can’t disclaim negligence no matter what the sign says. Sue in small claims court

good answer, you never know what grime is on their towels even after coming out the wash.
