Sunbury Auto Wash & Pet Wash

It’s obvious the prices have gone up since 2013 reviews. The pet area is a damp concrete room with no lock. I could take my dog to the truck stop and get a warmer, cleaner room with a towel and wash cloth. It was not a comfortable atmosphere. If your pet is filthy, or skunked, this would be a consideration, but you still have to transport them in your vehicle to get them here. The apron is a nice touch. Water temp, dryer, and MY money used to disinfect after others, is a bummer.

This review is on the Pet Wash only. The facilities were reasonably clean. The equipment was working. You get 8 minutes of wash time for $ 7. The system comes with rinse/​water, two types shampoo, conditioner, disinfectant (presumably for dogs with irritation from fleas) and a deflea mix.
What I didn’t like is that you couldn’t lock the door behind you. If someone came in they would have found a dog that is all bark but if someone didn’t know my dog its could be a scary bark. The warm water took 2 minutes to actually get warm. The mixes seemed to be diluted because it took almost a full minute before any serious amount came out. That may not seem like a long time but when your paying a buck its an eternity.
The dryer didn’t have much power and took almost two minutes to get warm. It really didn’t work very well.
All in all it cost $ 9 to leave with a clean but very wet puppy.

Meh, typical car wash where the owner does little upkeep. Tipple foam polish was watered down and only one color. Bays were not kept clean, and there is no receipt given when you pay.

Swiped charge card for a $ 6 car wash, but there was no indication that authorization was pending nor that it had processed. After three swipes, I decided to go elsewhere, but did see a green light at the entrance of the wash, so I proceeded through the automated wash. One circle of the mechanism for a wash, then another for a spot free rinse-that’s it! Expensive place to wash your car. Called Mastercard (that same day) to find that I was charged 3 time for the wash. There should be a fail-​safe system in place to prevent being charged more than once. The system shouldn’t reactivate until you enter the stall. I did bring this to the attention of the attendant who was there. He was courteous and provided me with a comment card and phone number of the owner and took my contact information. The owner did call the next day, but I missed his call. I commend them on their willingness to address the issue. I will forward a copy of my MC statement requesting an adjustment. I’ll provide a follow-​up.

Keep in mind this is after a MUDDY dog park visit… a car with 3 dogs and 3 people (Yes, a bit crowded) and we venture to try the NEW Pet Wash. I thought it was a brilliant concept and wanted to try this place out. It just seems that after MANY quarters that it cost WAY more than I thought it would. It is just like a car wash but with choices of Shampoo, Shampoo flea and tick, Conditioner & Blow Dry. I was soaked to the bone (no pun attended) after this adventure but the dogs were clean.
