A really good car wash for the area. Open 24/7, good value. Owner was helpful and friendly when my friend couldn't figure out the pay station when she went there. The DIY bays are 5-Star for a good car detailing and the automatic one's get a 3-Star. If this place offered a monthly membership for the DIY side of this car wash I would have a plan purchased the next day. I only pay for the automatic one out of value/convenience. See below for a more thorough explanation. Automatic: $20-$30/month membership service or single pay options for roughly half that. The automatic washes do an okay job at removing everyday film from your car, but will not remove all the dirt from very dirty cars. If you drive a black or very dirty car like me, you'll have to go into one of the bays after the automatic wash to clean spots it missed. Just about every time I leave the automatic I have brush streaks and missed spots on my car. Do It Yourself: $10. Best value in town. unlimited vacuum time, floor mat cleaner, air freshener, dryer etc. The stations have unlimited pre-soak, soap, soap brush, wax, and wheel/tire cleaner. For people who live in apartments or don't have the materials to do it themselves in their driveway its a top tier option. I couldn't imagine washing my car anywhere else in the greater Lafayette area.

Absolutely fantastic! For $10 you get unlimited wash and I don't feel rushed and end up really cleaning every nook and cranny on my car. The drive through drier is awesome! My goal is to keep rust off my car in the winter time and I'll make sure to come here again to do just that!

I like this car wash, but yesterday, I was visiting after a couple of months and really needed to get some crud off of my paint. So, I ended up a little longer in one of the bays to scrub some of the grit off - couldn't have been more than 30-40 minutes (normally, it takes me 15-20 minutes in the bay). The attendant, however, was on a power trip and asked me to pull out of the bay immediately. According to him, there was a line of cars waiting. I stepped out of the bay to see this line of cars and the line was ONE car long! ONE car waiting to get in one of six occupied bays. What a joke .. Isn't it an all you want to wash? If not, then don't advertise it as such. Or, post a time limit in the bay and have a timer display. Anyway, to avoid an argument, I pulled out and left without even doing a spot-free rinse / wax. If you don't want customers to use the bay for anything other than washing, then provide some shaded area for hot and sunny days. Honestly, I was going to give 1 star but looking at the other reviews and the owner's responses, it looks like at least they try to do the right thing. In this case, they need to reign in their attendant and/or post some guidelines for customers.

This is the best car wash in town I’ve found. It’s clean and well lit. My vehicle comes out just as clean as going to crew but for a much better price. This place does not have an automatic brushless bay and not all vehicles will fit through the freestanding dryer. There are also bays for washing your vehicle yourself and vacuums.

Hands down the best car wash around. Its nice to support a local business and not just another car wash chain. You 100% get your money's worth. We take our suburban and our f350 through there! Best quality car wash!

Definitely five stars! Very very good experience! The staff is very friendly, $10 for unlimited time of washing, vacuuming, and waxing, and drying is also included. You won't be able to find a better place in West Lafayette than here. The only drawback is the drying machine is a little bit narrow for big cars, but for most sedans and suv, it should be fine, just remember to fold your mirrors before drying. I will recommend this place to my friends.

The best car wash owned by the nicest human-beings This place is fully renovated and reequipped. In addiction to automatic car wash, this place has an option to do for all-you-can-use car wash for $10. On top of those attractive features, this place is owned by the nicest and kindest people l’ve ever met. When I was there with my little ones, my old nanny car broke down and wouldn’t start. I called my insurance for towing and told to wait for 90 minutes. My little ones were freezing having the trunk door left open, because the car wouldn’t start. Luckily for us, the owner of this place happened to stop by to close the place and offered not only a warm place and snacks for my little ones, but also helped and fixed my car before towing car was arrived. Literally the whole thing took at least three hours, and I still felt terrible ruining their (the whole family came to offer help!)dinner. I told them I will just push my car outside of the shop so they can head home, but they insisted to offer help, which was actually much needed help for my stance. That night, the owner family were in deed the good Samaritans to us. If you want to do a business and if you have a choice, wouldn’t you want to do it with people with good heart like them? I highly highly recommend them.

Best Car Wash in West Lafayette! I used to go to Crew but their auto-wash is designed for speed and not exactly quality. For a better price, I use the auto-wash here and my car is getting cleaned for a good 3-5 minutes. The result is obvious and a more noticeably cleaner exterior. I downloaded their app and now have a monthly pass so I will be back here often!

Never super busy. I own a jeep that gets dirty easily, so I like the unlimited time period to get all the built up mud out of the frame, guards, and other underbody components. The carpet cleaner is nice to use a few times a year.

West side wash has reasonable prices and is always clean. Never had any issues with wash cycles, and the free vacuum is a nice bonus, too. Most car wash places charge separately for this, and you usually run out of time, end up paying 3 times before completing. Love West Side Wash!

I like the availability of wash as much as you want and vac as much as you want in the bays. Yet, $12 seems steep to me.

I LOVED THIS CARWASH! I wish there was one where I live. $12 gets you through the gate, and that covers unlimited vacuum, dry carpet shampooing, and self service carwash. ♡♡♡

Signed up for the monthly pass. Will NOT renew. I drive a pickup and the under body wash only lasts for about 10 seconds. Not near enough time to spray under entire truck. The wash leaves suds on sides and the vac dryer is low powered and does not stay on long enough to dry a truck. May work better for cars but not good for my truck.

I always come here to wash my car when the weather is warm. The equipment is reliable and easy to use every time. I met the owner (I believe) this afternoon while he was maintaining the car wash. He was super friendly and great to talk to!

12 bucks, and I can detail my vehicle. I enjoy this place. I can wash my vehicle how I want it done versus how other places charge for acceptable. I call that awesome.

Decent car wash, but doesn’t fully remove bugs. The automatic car wash is “soft touch” but left scratches on my paint (sucks, but to be expected). I wish West Side wash would consider installing a touchless option, as West Lafayette does not have any reliable touchless automatic car washes!

We're in town for a fiberglass camper rally and we wanted to wash our old girl up. We pick this place because it was the closest to the State Park Campground, and it has tall bays to accommodate our camper. Wow, this is awesome, 12 bucks! Wash all you want, free everything. Great place. I wish we had one back where we live.

My husband wanted to wash off our 4 wheelers (2 on a trailer). He was not washing his truck (has unlimited crew car wash account). He paid the $12 as usual and was waiting for an open bay. He was approached by a young woman employee and was told he has to pay “extra” for each 4 wheeler. He told the young lady he was only washing the 4 wheelers, not his truck. She said, “my dad owns this place and charges extra for this”. My husband has been there many times before to wash off the quads and has never been charged extra. My husband said “fine” and handed her his card. She refused the card. She said, ‘do you have cash?” “it will be $10 per 4 wheeler.” No ma’am. Ridiculous He has already paid the entrance fee of $12. $32 at a self service car wash? The whole situation seemed very scammy to him. He said it seemed like she just made up the price on the spot and wouldn’t take a card. Cash only. Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder if Daddy knows what his daughter is up to? Also, this is a 24 hr car wash. There isn’t always an attendant and if he had come off-hours, this would not have happened.

It is $12 for the minimum services. My car looks good from a distance but once you get closer it is not fully clean. There are still bugs on the bumper and some dirts on the sides. They got unlimited vacuum service and air pump at the location which is good. There is nobody at the office and I tried to call them but nobody answered and the voicemail is full. They got an offer for unlimited car wash service starting at $24
