$ 3.00 FOR A CAR WASH!!! Count me in! (Be sure to check in on Unilocal to get the promo code!)
I loved it! My car was in desperate need of a car wash this past week, but more importantly, I needed to vacuum the inside. It would have taken me over $ 3.00 to vacuum it if I had used a vacuum at a gas station.
I took one star off because the vacuums were a bit… off? Some of them had excellent suction while I struggled with some of the others. Also, the nozzle of the vacuum made it difficult for me to get in to the pits of hell, aka the dark hole everyone has in their cars between and underneath the seats.
Another part to add is that this location has the floor mat cleaners! I’ve never seen anything like this before, however you put your floor mats in the machine and it vacuums everything off of it. You can do this multiple times until you’re satisfied.
The next time it snows, I’m definitely going here as soon as possible to get the salt and sand off of it.
One thing that alarms me is that this location has a «Now Hiring» sign up ALL THE TIME. Usually this means that there is some kind of organization/​management issue, however I didn’t see any clues to mismanagement when I went this past weekend. Hopefully it will stay like this – especially when it snows this winter!

I’m actually gonna give 5 stars. My car was pretty gross after not having had any love for well over 5 months. It was getting a nice yellow hue (thank you pollen) and a few white highlights (thank you birds). With the gorgeous weather as of late I decided it was time to get «Kevin» spiffed up and back to his proper gleaming blue.
When I went I had zero wait, used my check in coupon and paid only $ 3 for what turned out to be a very impressive wash. It was fast as others have noted, but I checked my hood and all around the car and there wasn’t a hint of yellow or white to be found. I was honestly impressed by what I got for $ 3.
And the free vacuums are what will bring me back. I had my two terrors… er, I mean darlings in the back seat and one was sleeping (thank GOD) so I dared not wake him. But seriously, FREE vacuums! I’ll update my review once I can use them since I am somewhat of a vacuum connoisseur… Gotta have suction!!!
All in all TOTALLY worth it.

Not bad for an auto car wash… They even have cute little items in the vending machine to dry off your car etc. I used a $ 2 off check in code $ 13.00 for wax and spot free dry. The only thing I didn’t like was the «tire shine» my tires aren’t shining at all. I vacuumed the hell out of my car… awesome unlimited vacuuming during your efforts
We need one of these in DC !

Not impressed. If I would have paid 5 dollars for the wash then I would have just been fine. However I needed a wax too so opted for the 15 wash. I still got the five dollar wash. The hood was still dirty there was soap still all over the car and the windows looked terrible. Next time I know that 5 dollars is the way to go. Why even offer more?

I came for the free vacuum. I figured the outside of my car could use a little attention too, and for $ 5 I got a a squeaky clean car inside & out. I’d never used a carwash that requires you to put your car in neutral and kind of pushes you along … it made me a little nervous but only because I had no idea what to expect. I’ll be back, though!

This is a good place for a quick car wash. I love that they have free vacuums and the mat machines. If you have a show car or you’re really picky this probably isn’t the best place for you because it uses the old school brushes and stuff but if you just want to wash away the pollen & vacuum out the crumbs they have a great car wash for the price ($ 5)!

It’s amazing what a girl from the North and her filthy car can find!!!
I had just spent the night in Glen Allen and desperately needed to get the Boston snow, salt and who-​knows-​what else off my car. I found Flagstop and thought «$ 5 for a wash? Are they SERIOUS!!!». Automated payment at the gate. A Boston girl has never seen such a cool thing.
Honestly, I was thinking that there was NO WAY this wash could get off all the nastiness from my car, but it did a pretty good job. I didn’t spring for any add-​ons since said car was headed back to Boston in a couple of days and would be looking dirty again, but if this was the final wash of the year, an undercarriage wash would have been in order.
Anyhow, imagine my shock to see FREE VACUUMS. FREE. Had I not been all dressed up, I would have been vacuuming up a storm, but sadly, I could not take part in their kindness. There was also a machine that cleans floor mats that I was dying to see in action, but sadly will never see how that works.
Thanks, Flagstop!

I spent an hour looking for a carwash that had vacuums that were included in the price. Every place I came across was expensive and would clean out my car for me. I prefer to clean out my car for myself, reorganize, that way I can decide what is worth keeping in the car, and what is worthy for the trash can. The prices are decent for what you get… basic wash $ 5, next level $ 7,and so on. They also offer a monthly car wash deal around $ 20. Best part is the free unlimited use of the vacuums when you purchase a wash. I was quite impressed with the suction strength also… Dog hair that seemed impossible to get out with prior vacuuming attempts, finally gone!

A decent and efficient carwash. Prices aren’t bad. If you are very picky about your car’s finish, be aware that there is no touchless option here. They have the spinning brushes on the side and the tall brushes that drag over the hood /​roof /​trunk lid of your car. There are also free-​to-​use vacuums on the outside.
