Benny’s Express Carwash

Went to get the «Wheel Deal» $ 7 which is what i always get, because i like the way the tires look afterward. Used my Credit card, went through wash, wash display confirmed that i was getting the wheel deal, yay! Got home, car looked good, but noticed my credit card was charged $ 10 for the #2 Works Wash!!! Called the car wash and was told that’s impossible, and i must have using the machine wrong. REALLY? It didn’t seem challenging. Then he said ‘well no one else has complained” seriously? Maybe they don’t watch their receipts lke i do, perhaps I’m the first to speak up about it. I imagine that they’re laughing about the fact that theyre stealing $ 3 from people before they realize what happened.

Benny’s is like the Country Bear Jamboree at Disney World — vaguely unsettling at times, but couched in convenience so it’s easy to shrug and go with it.
The car wash, for example. It’s the best automated wash in town, hands down — my car always comes out spotless and, if I have any special trouble spots, they provide a pre-​scrub station with plenty of useful tools to soften up the worst bug guts.
The trouble usually starts when I’m selecting my wash and an employee materializes out of nowhere to give me the hard sell on their car wash club. Apart from being the most boring sounding club in world history, it’s not a membership I need — my car is a lease that I park in a garage and drive almost exclusively to and from work. I wash it once a month at most. So every time I politely refuse, and every next time I’m bothered about it again. Look, I get the compulsion to notify customers about your dismal club, but I’m at my revenue generating max with Benny’s and stuff like this is only going to discourage me from here on out.
Then — do all Benny’s locations have this? — when I pass through the gate after prepaying, there are little orange pylons directing my path, and bizarrely, inexplicably, EACH ONE OF THEM HAS A RAGGED, SUNBLEACHED STUFFED ANIMAL TIED TO IT. This is perplexing at best and horrifying at worst. I can’t imagine children are impressed, either; I know I’d be terrified if I discovered that Benny the Impaler were torturing Tigger and Tinkerbell at his carwash of horrors.
One other thing that sometimes mars the experience — every other time I’m finished with the wash and vacuuming my car (with the usually fantastic but infrequently emptied free vacuums), some guy approaches me trying to push auto glass repair. My windshield chips were already repaired by my insurance company, thanks, and I am waiting for one of these dudes to sneak up on an old lady and get clobbered by her purse. Why does Benny’s allow these goons to hang out on their property and harass people who are just trying to wash their cars on lunch break?
So, take-​aways:
1. Car wash is good
2. Third-​party solicitation is bad
3. Stuffed animal torture is ugly

I have the club membership here and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. I wash my car at least once a week— with love bug season it’s twice a week. So that’s about 40 $ I’d spend on a car wash — but I only spend 15 $ with the membership a month! The people that work there are super nice and friendly ! Help me out no problem. I couldn’t be any happier with the service. The inside waiting room is very clean & open. Love all the windows so you can see everything going on in the car wash & with the employees that change your oil!

Quick and thorough spot for oil changes… car washes and inspection stickers. They are well covered and able to to them in slightly inclement weather conditions. The staffs friendly and talks you through your cars needs. I recommend them.
