Do NOT use the car wash by McDonalds on Route 28.  My friend, Tom, took his car there and his car was damaged as a result.

While docking his car with the moving plate, the attendant kept telling him to keep pulling forward.  Tom felt uncomfortable doing this since he could feel the car locked in, but he kept being instructed to move further in.  After the wash, he noticed that his tire was slashed by the moving parts.  I believe both the tire and the rim were damaged and he had to replace both of them.

Tom obviously spoke with the manager, but the store gave him a lot of trouble.  Angry Only after a few days and several angry calls, they finally agreed to pay for the damage.  (I am not sure if Tom's being a lawyer helped the situation, as I am not sure if he ever pulled out the L card.)

In summary, I do not recommend bringing your car to that car wash.

I go to one of them touchless carwashes. It freaks me out a little bit because there is no attendant. It's open 24 hours and you just pay on a touch screen and the door opens for you. But at least I feel like I have some control over the process, rather than getting directed wherre to put my car by some high school kid.

Yeah but aren't you ever afraid that the machine is going to go haywire and destroy your car, and you in the process?
