I Love Riptide, did I mention they have washer/dryer to wash your mats as well as free vacuums with a monthly membership! Save time and money at Riptide. If you have multiple vehicles you can get a discount of additional vehicles (at the time of this review).

I will continue to use the wash for self service purposes, however after spending over $8 in quarters to get the heavy stuff off of my new black truck, i went to the auto wash and paid $15 for the Ultimate Wash which proved to not be so ultimate. After i pulled out of the dryers my truck was lift with water marks, smears, and showing lots of reminiscent of the dirt that was on it. Do not recommend, especially with a black vehicle.Service: Auto detailing

I spent 5 bucks and got my car prettyDang clean! No complaints. This place has been there as long as I can remember and I see they got lots of upgrades since I last was there years ago.

This car wash is great! The credit card function on the self-serve is perfect. I can stop when I am done and don t have to pay the minimum $6 for an automatic one. Been in the touch-free also and it does a good job. Convenient location.

Today was the first time I went to this place. I didn't realize they had an automatic touchless and it is super close so I was excited to hear about it. I paid for the $15 wash which was the best available. It came out looking the exact same minus the fact my rims were really clean. I dont understand how thats possible I saw the soap and water hit my car but it didn't remove anything. I have a Jeep but its my daily in town driver I dont take it off road so it wasn't like it had a lot of mud to work with. It was just regular ol Lititz street dirt. I can't recommend this place. At least not for the automatic touchless function. Not for $15.

Functions well, but I had difficulty with the credit card sliding properly through the credit cared reader. In the end the owner made it right, but wish I hadn't the problem in the first place. Otherwise, a good self-serve car wash with good brushes, soap, wax, pressure spry and vacuum.

Nothing special about this place but they are an excellent car wash. I've never been through the automatic washer but the manual bays have good pressure, they are clean and well-maintained, and they even have an air chamois if you're into that kind of thing. Powerful vacuums with small and large attachments for regular and detail cleaning. Pressure washer accepts debit/credit cards.

One of the very few manual car washes that allow you to use a credit card! I keep coming back. Well maintained equipment, no leaky handles or hoses. Air dryer system is kinda a joke though...

I started using this car wash for the touch free function. The final product is not as good as a brush wash, but I hope it is better for the paint on my car. I got the unlimited wash card. I use the manual stalls to pre clean the bottom 1/4 of the vehicle and wheels. Then use the auto wash to finish the job.

I actually knocked the rating down one star from 3 to two. Not only did the price of a wash go up $3, but the spot free portion is not at all spot free now. The cleanliness is also questionable. If there is a distinct difference between wheee the wipers pass, and a film where they did not, that is a fail. Mind you, this car has only seen 60 miles of driving in two weeks. The dirt is from sitting in the driveway, so...hmmm.

5 I found this place to be absolutely fantastic !!!!! I love the services that they offer.. They re services are Advanced considering location :-)... I travel extensively and feel for the small town it has awsome features.. Autowash - Do it yourself wash that you can feed it dollar bills.. Air dry that you can do yourself, and of course all the norms like vacs... The services are excellent. The prices are excellent.I highly recommend Lititz Car Wash..While i was there the gentleman that was working was very nice with me.. I didn't have a small bill to use for change, he fixed me up and helped me out to select some proper products and other things that I needed for my car.. He took the time to explain to me proper use and hints and tricks to help me.. Furthermore, helped me to find my location as i am / was from out of town..He is very knowledgeable and very pleasant.HIGHLY RECOMMEND :-)

Excellent car wash. Not too expensive and the automatic touch free wash did an excellent job on my van. The vacuums have good suction and have a decent amount of time for the money.

Love there unlimited package. For $29 I can wash my car as much as I want in a month. As an Uber/lyft driver this is a quick and economical way to keep my side job up and running. Does a good job too

The amount of time given for everything is very short and pricing is standard, so cleaning your car inside and out can cost upwards of $40 if you're thorough or $10-$15 if you're doing a very quick clean, wash, or vacuum.

Very rude grounds keeper/associate will never get my business again! I went here to wash my car and ended up having to replace my whole back trunk do to the equipment hoses are hung to low and caught my rear end wing and ripped up my trunk when I drove away along with very deep scratches to my back end. They blamed me for it even though I returned equipment to its rightful place they didn t give me any of there info along with being quite aggressive. I ended up paying for everything. don t wash your car here! Aweful customer service

The automated car wash didn't really even clean my car and it put a few tiny scratches all over my car's hood. Definitely won't be using it again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

I wash three of my vehicles here on a regular basis. Every single time I m there the attendant tells me that I need to hurry up and pull out because there are people waiting in line. I patiently waited my turn. If you re rude and rush paying customers out then there might not be a line in the future. Don t be so short sighted.

I have not use the automatic car wash here but I do use the wand it's an awesome car wash the price is great and you can use your credit card slide your card it starts it, when you're done hit the stop button far better than using coins and it's not very expensive at all compared to other car washes I've used I will definitely not go anywhere else.

Absolutely the best place to get your car washed very low price for a car wash that gives you so much time to get all the grime grease Derek whatever you got on your vehicle the automatic car wash is hands-down the best hands-free car wash in Lancaster County there is always a staff member on site everyday 5 days a week I believe not sure if he's there on the weekends I usually wash my truck on the weekdays and I will not go anywhere else to wash all three of my vehicles because this place is just absolutely outstanding super clean I have yet to see any of the equipment broken or damaged not working because like I said there's someone there keeping the place running like clockwork

It's like any other carwash. Sometimes it cleans my car really well, other times not so much.

I was charged $15 for using a self service bay for 5 minutesI could have gone and gotten an actual full wash with a towel dry for that! Absolutely outrageous
