Vista Ridge Spraywash

This place was actually pretty gnarly! I didn't realize until later that the inside bays are actually hand-wash bays with wands and scrubber brushes. I used the outside bay, which is actually set up for oversized huge vehicles like motor homes or big rigs I guess.Anyway, it was a nice sunny day and the outside bay worked just fine. I was a little unclear to begin with on how much it cost or how it worked, but I figured it out pretty quick. If paying by credit card you simply swipe your card and when it authorizes the dimly lit screen quickly shows what appeared to be $2/minute (I think) and everything powers up and a timer starts to count UP. It will continue to opearte as long as you want, but while charging you $2/minute.I first rinsed all the dirt and salt, then switched to soap and soaped it up, then used the soap brush and scrubbed it all, then rinsed, then waxed. Took me about 5.5 minutes total and THEN you need to press the STOP BUTTON when you're done. I was charged $12'ish for about 5.5 mins, so I think it was $2/min and prolly some tax or something.IT'S IMPORTANT TO MANUALLY PRESS THE STOP BUTTON when you are done, otherwise it will continue to charge you for each minute. I don't know if there is a maximum amount before it shuts off, but you don't want to drive away and then get a credit card charge for hundreds of dollars of whatever happens if you forget to press STOP.So, it did a good job on my vehicle, everything worked but I think it ran out of wax part way through as I could no longer see it after the initial application.The place is relatively clean, and the interior bays looked decent as well and would be perfect for washes in the winter or when it's freezing outside.All in all a good place to wash your vehicle and although $2/min seems" a bit high

$3.00 was just enough to give my F350 a quick soap spray and rinse to get the winter gunk off.

Great car wash, the only bad thing is the vacuum is always full so there's no suction.

I normally go here just because it's close to home. Today I went to get my car washed. The change machine worked, which was a surprise. I put a toonie in at the wash bay and it didn't go in, and I couldn't get it out, so I had to use my credit card. There was no attendant there. The property is usually unclean. And like so many others have said, the vacuums never work. And they haven't worked for at least a year lol.I'm driving the extra couple minutes to the Sonic Wash from now on. I know the place has newer equipment and will work. This car wash is outdated and whoever owns it has not put money back into it ever.

Was happy with the wash but the unit did not want to shut off and continued to charge me for several minutes before it would stop. Disgusted with the electronic unit. It was $7 extra trying to shut the unit off and the doors would not open. Not impressed. Should have someone on-site to fix these problems. Not a happy wash today.

Self serve wash bays usually dirty and look on maintained sometimes some of the features don't work at all like the foam brush or holes in the pressure washer lines. Garbage cans with frequently be overflowing outside by the vacuums and the majority of the vacuums just don't work at all they need to hire someone to come in daily to take care of this car wash because at one point in time it was a great car wash.

It’s too bad is the owner of this car wash doesn’t turn up the water pressure and add a water heater. These changes would make it a half decent place to clean your car. The water is cold, which is refreshing, but it is useless for washing your car. The water pressure is so low it’s barely more then garden hose pressures. The facilities are clean and well equipped otherwise, the owner just needs to step up their game to make this little car wash something worthwhile stopping at.

Visited vista ridge spray wash on august 28th 2022. In the self wand wash bay tried to pay with credit card several times but would not read card. Went over to the change machine to attempt to get coins to use instead. change machine took my $10 and did not give change. DO NOT USE THE CHANGE MACHINE. There is a notice posted on the change machine about who to call if there is an issue, so clearly there are often issues. Unfortunately no one answers the phone # and no one follows up on voicemails so there is no one to actually contact if there is an issue.After the failure of the change machine I did try the credit payment again and it worked that time. Fortunately did not get multiple credit card charges.If not for the payment issues would of been a good experience. Actual wand wash was as expected and the free vacuum was nice.

Save your money. Wash your car somewhere else. Do not waste your time and money here.  3 out of the 4 self wash bays have been out of order for several weeks. The weather gets nice and all of a sudden they are all back in working order? Strange. Yet there has been nobody there doing repairs? Lol. I drive by this place 4 times a day. They are not ready to be back in order. There are no signs in one of the bays letting you know that there is no undercarriage available. The buttons are labeled wrong Making it confusing in the car wash. This place needs to be shut down and the opportunity given to someone responsible. They take weeks to return your call after being ripped off, if they even call you back. They hope you forget about it and come back. Also,  The change that is dispensed from the change dispenser there is not even accepted in the car wash. Lol.  You get $40 in change and it might accept $9. Therefore you cannot put any soap on your car you can just spray it off with the very cold water.  Even the old car and dog wash on Main Street has hot water.  I now understand why the sonic wash on the highway is so busy. This place is terrible. The better business bureau should know about this place to be honest.

Just showed up to vac out the back of my SUV after camping. 3 of the 4 machines were completely broken with hoses awol, and the 4th turned out to have zero suction, makng it essentially useless, so I just drove away.5 minutes for the toonie I put in would be a good deal if it actually worked.Can't speak for the wash, but trying to use the vac there was a poor experience.
