I agree. In addition, who knows if they dropped a towel or sponge, how often they refresh the soap/water mixture, or how long it's been since those towels and sponges were cleaned. Too many unknowns. Take it to a touchless if you must, but driveway is always the best.

I would suggest you do a little homework on your side and check with the BBB, Citysearch for reviews or ask for references.......

You're always better doing something yourself. No one will ever take as good of care on your car as you will. Now if you go to a professional detailer/specialist it's different, but that's big bucks. We're not talking a $10 hand wash at "Bob's Goodass Car wash." OP, I'd expect $35+ for a good hand wash. Anything less, I'd be skeptical.

There are only about a dozen people I would ever let wash my car, and most of them are members here.
