Although our wash process is very safe and we wash thousands of cars without incident, please note this is a mechanical car wash. Our equipment applies friction to provide you a clean car! We diligently try to identify any pre-existing damage prior to entering the tunnel and ask you do the same if you have any concerns. We are not responsible for the following items:
Any damage on cars older than 5 years or vehicles without warranty
After market, non-factory, and modified items
Any previous damage, known or unknown
Damage to loose, rusted, or cracked parts
Damage from previously chipped, cracked, scratched or oxidized paint
Paint newer than 6 months
Previously repaired or refinished vehicles
Antennas or antenna removal damage
Wipers or assembly damage from wipers activated in car wash
