Is this the same people, does anybody know?

My car is in dire need of a wash - I'm not that fussy, but it hasn't been washed since the Dust Incident :))

Hopefully the same people..

Just walked past & the car wash is open :-)

Appears to be different people. Also I can't see any change to stop people getting wet but maybe that wasn't so important after all..

Oops? new shysters in charge??? Car park given over again to a new lot running the car wash so back to a lack of parking and a cold shower for supporters!!! It's all about money at the end of the day.

New people - less staff - too slow - don't look like they know what they're doing. Bring back the last team - they were the best in the area. Tried the place on Denmark Hill - too slap dash, low quality, badly organised. Definitely a gap in the market for a well run, quick, good quality car wash.

what a shame. Does anyone know where the old car wash team went? If they are not too far away I would love to continue to use them.

Same here.

ETA: Not that my car gets washed very frequently :))

i have spoken to the old owner and he has set up in essex somewhere.... a bit too far...

spoken to the new guys and he said that there will be a lot more people working as of next week....

only live down the road so use them all the time... but they will have to hot up on detail as they are not in the same league when it comes to detail and cleanliness.... but maybe they were just getting tired and could be erradicated with more staff....
