    They might show up soon. I think they’re popping up more frequently now that ALPR camera systems are more prevalent.

      Some of them are weird where I am because you can buy a shitty/fast 3 minute wash for $15 or the good-soapy-with-undercarriage one for $25, OR you can buy the ultra-mega-unlimited monthly washes card for $32 or something.

      I bet enough people buy the $32 unlimited one and only go one time, that it’s basically free money to them. But if you’re going to get at least two washes per month, you have to get the unlimited to get the better price. It’s all very clever and designed to get the most value from you.

      They all have “free” vacuums though, for paying customers.
