Nice clean carwash and everything has always worked properly in the self wash for me. It does get busy often.

Nothing particularly great or special about it but it is a decent and conveniently located car wash for the South Wichita area all of their equipment still works some things are stolen like Matt's to wash things on but who really needs those right?

Low pressure, very very minimal soap, and you can definitely tell the water is coming directly from the water treatment plant cause it smells terrible.

Because of the cute light show inside it's always a treat for my granddaughter she loves going to the carwash with Nana. She picks a song she likes and we jam in the car while it's being washed...

Carwash is very dark if using after daylight hours. The card reader for credit card use only allows you to extend time a few times. Just to wash my truck I had to swipe my card 3 times just to get through a carwash.

Card reader does not work. Don't waste our time here. $2.00 in coins may or may not work. Absolutely, Google maps asked me about my experience at this exact location right after I left.

My favorite car wash on the south side of town. Foam brush worked great even though it looked to have a recent hose repair (and I love using the brush when I really need it). Love it!

This place sucks! There is always "tire hazards" (trash & debris) as you pull into the bays and the bays themselves. I had to replace a $160 tire. It's clear the owner (s) either don't give a damn, or don't know any better. Embarrassed for them! It had the potential to be a money maker.....

My car had set for almost 2 weeks. It needed a bath really badly. I was the only person there. Was able to get it taken care of with no problems. I really like that smaller car wash.

Title: "Splish, Splash, I Was Takin' a Bath... At The Car Wash in Wichita!" ★★★★★ At the corner of Clean Lane and Shiny Avenue (more formally known as 5170 S Hydraulic Ave), you'll find the hidden gem of Wichita, KS. It's not a restaurant, not a bar, not a boutique... Nope, it's The Car Wash, folks! A wonderland of suds and sprays that will take your vehicle from grubby to glamorous in the blink of an eye! Pulling into The Car Wash is like arriving at a spa day for your car. The building might not look like much – just your standard concrete-and-metal car wash – but don’t let that fool you. It's a classic example of "don't judge a book by its cover," because inside those simple walls lies an oasis of cleanliness. The place is as unmanned as a spaceship orbiting Mars, but fear not, intrepid car washers! The instructions on the machines are so clear and concise, even a monkey with a learner's permit could figure it out. And the lack of human presence just means you can belt out your favorite car wash tunes without judgment. (We all know you’ve been practicing your rendition of “Car Wash” by Rose Royce.) There’s something almost therapeutic about opting for the self-serve wash. Scrubbing down your car by hand, it's like you're waxing on and waxing off, channeling your inner Karate Kid. But for those in a hurry or those allergic to effort, fear not! The automatic bay is the car wash equivalent of a magic wand. Just sit back, relax, and watch as your beloved vehicle transforms from Dusty Dan to Shiny Stan. And the prices? Talk about a clean deal! Your car will look like it's ready for a red carpet roll-out, and your wallet won't even have time to register the trauma. Honestly, the only cleaner job than what The Car Wash does for your vehicle is what it doesn’t do to your bank account. In a world full of fancy detailing services and expensive car spas, The Car Wash is a beacon of simplicity and efficiency. It doesn’t need frills and fuss because it does what it says on the tin – and does it remarkably well. So, if you want to treat your car (or motorcycle) to a little TLC and have it sparkling like a disco ball at a 70s dance-off, shimmy on over to The Car Wash. It’s a splash of a time!

No pressure, nor soap on the wash setting. I left with my vehicle still dirty. I have lived down the street from this car wash my entire life, and I have been a loyal customer for years. The quality has degraded to the point where I am no longer going to be a patron.

Best car wash in Derby. Have been using New Liberty Car Wash for twelve years. Worked every time. A clean car at a reasonable price with no membership required.
