I go to the esso car wash, it's $10 for wash and dry, but the dryer is not the greatest. The only thing is the damn locks all freeze up so I just leave my car unlocked for a couple days with the alarm armed and everythings fine

Esso = POS
Sunoco w/ Value Wash + = The way to go...
My dad always, always goto Sunoco and uses Value Wash and sometimes Super Wash (Gift Certificates are cheaper). My uncle tried the Esso at Major Mack + Jane and it was just horrible, not clean.
14 + McCowen is a great gas station to wash at, but lots of idiots who brakes when it says "Wait" to shift to D and than they slip and than my dad used the horn which stopped the whole car wash for a decent minute.

She went through the entire tunnel in reverse, down the driveway, up the curb and onto the grass. If the tree wasn't there she would of gone straight onto 14th!!!!

I'll take the 5th!
I don't care how much you panic, there is no expination as how you can reverse over 70 meters! And the car wash is designed to work with "eyes" that only see you coming from the front so there's alot of heavy equipment she went through to get out the front.

I've hear of car washes where if you are not satisfied you can go back through no hassle.
I have a friend that went to a hassle free Petro and took the car through 3 times.
It makes sense to me if you complain that they should let you through again
