My wife's car was incredibly dirty. We live out of town and it was covered in bug debris and mud from the constant water crossings and gravel roads we deal with on a daily basis. I needed to kill some time, so decided to head here for an automatic car wash. Well... the car wash attendant was almost about to head home and popped out when I realised I needed to buy a token or enter loose change for a car wash.

I was expecting a generic, not-much-good, automatic car wash. Not only did he cheerfully take my $20 and give me $2 change (provided he could still get home to watch the footy!) - he completely sprayed the car manually and painstakingly scrubbed all the bugs and mud off. For the normal price of $18. Mentioned he loved his job and always had an enthusiasm for it. After the wash the Elantra was the cleanest I'd seen it since new. Amazing, thorough and friendly service. He could have told me to bugger off and go elsewhere... but being so dedicated he did his job and then some. Great bloke, great service.

Approximate cost: $18.00
