Had a mini valet and clean done for 25. I was told it wasn't a deep clean, but I'd hoped for slightly better. The bodywork and wheels weren't clean in obvious places and there were paper towel fibres left all over the car, both on mirror and wipers and interior. To be fair, my car was pretty dirty when it went in, but this was obviously a pretty quick end-of-the-day job. They were still rushing to finish it when I turned up to collect it as they closed. They did ask me if I was happy with it, but they were busy packing up and leaving as they asked and I didn't get a good look at it till after

Poor experience at the car wash today. Was charged 30 for a very basic interior & exterior clean and I know it was very basic because Ive just spent the last half hour with a pack of disinfectant wipes cleaning the interior myself instead. Poor service in a small town where word travels fast.

The car cleaning side do an okay job here. Definitely not the best job Ive seen, but not the worst. It was 25 for an inside and out which seems to be about average post-lockdown. I definitely dont remember paying this much at any car wash 18 months ago. But these guys arent the only ones charging that price. Had my car for about 1hr20 minutes which sounds fair if theres only one guy working.
