Moo Moo Car Wash

Today I had a really bad experience at the moo moo on broad. When my car went through the wash, it seemed to be moving really quickly. When I exited, my car was still very dirty. A gentleman vacuuming his car next to me said «our cars are still dirty, that thing was moving fast… «I took a second trip through the wash, I alerted the agent that our cars were still dirty and the wash seemed to be moving quickly. He shrugged his shoulders and have me a blank look. Then said «oh well». My car was still dirty when I left…

Basically a fully automated exterior car wash — no human interaction: pay a machine, drive through the wash. Would give higher rating if car was dried or interior cleaning was available. (It’s good, but it’s no Delta Sonic.)

I learned something new today. If the car wash is busy, with the line stretching around the corner, almost to Broad Street, it is perfectly okay to come in from the other side (from Starbucks), and get in line ahead of everyone else. I was told this by an employee of the car wash. Why wait for 10 or 15 minutes like all those losers? And, as a bonus, if anyone thinks you are wrong and is mean to you, the car wash will give you a coupon, too. No wait AND a free car wash? Awesome! How you deal with your bad karma is your problem, though. Good karma is for losers.

As good as it gets. Love this place. I don’t mind paying the extra few dollars to get the whole wash because it does such an excellent job.

This is one of the best car washes I’ve ever been to! Everything you would expect and desire from a car wash is here… and more! Friendly staff, short wait times, easy payment and free, unlimited vacuuming! They also have a little store where you can get things like air fresheners if you want. The super wash (at $ 10) also includes the opportunity for a $ 2 mail-​in rebate. Is that overkill for a car wash? Probably. But its nice to know the option is there!
When you drive up, there’s ample room for a line so that’s not a problem. You can either pay with cash or a card at the computer (typically two at each location) and then you drive in. The attendant will direct you inside the barn-​shaped building and point to a screen with reminders. (This is also where you can get your card stamped. Customer appreciation cards are free, and every 9 stamps gets you a free wash!) First, your car is sprayed with water, then soap. Next is scrubbers which are amazingly gentle on your car. Then, there’s another layer of soap and water. The final layer of water is at different speeds, you can see the soap coming off your car. A few seconds under the dryer is the final step and then you’re done! Its about a 3 – 4 minute process. After that, there’s a parking lot lined with vacuums where you can vacuum your car (with unlimited time) and do everything else.
I recommend bringing a set of drying towels with you. I like to keep my new car very shiny, so I use microfiber towels. Their dryers aren’t the best, but they get most of the water off.

OK, who loves a cheap car wash?
I do!
With the salt and crap all over the roads, I decided I really needed a good wash, and Moo Moo was advertising a $ 5 basic wash special — much cheaper than anything else around. Even better, they also had the ultra-​super-​delux version for $ 10, which is STILL cheaper than a similar wash at a gas station or most local chains.
The wash itself is the usual automated service, but I appreciated that next to the «barn» they offer free vacuums and air.
The quality of the wash and wax was great, and I can easily see myself coming back when I’m trying to get a really thorough cleaning inside and out.
My only concern was the payment setup — one lane was cash only, while the other accepted cash and credit. This was marked at the entrance to the car wash, but not closer to the payment area. A lot of people seemed confused, and it caused some issues. Maybe marking that at the actual gatehouse /​booth would be a good idea?

I actually look forward to a car wash here. The level of service, convenience, and cleverness are all up to par. The stuffed cows lining the wash bay make me laugh. My son loves a trip through the barn-​shaped car wash… then cries when it’s over. The price is right for a «fat free» wash ($ 5) and there are upgrades available too. All levels include free unlimited time with the vacuums. There’s always music going while you vacuum the interior. They got extra points in my book a few months ago when my car wouldn’t start after a wash and an attendant helped me trouble-​shoot, jump start, and even find a place to take it for a battery replacement.

Quick and efficient car wash although my car needed more drying time and it looked like others did too!

Best in Columbus!

For the price, I think this is a great car wash. Always well staffed and even the cheapest $ 5 wash is very good. Definitely recommend.
