Car Wash @ Sainsbury

[Aries]

Good Morning,

Can anyone tell me if the old car wash at Sainsbury is up and running? I did notice a sign saying Dulwich Car Wash?

Thanks

Was up and running last week.

Had a facelift and looks like different guys running it.

Prices gone up (a bit).

[tiddles]

So does anyone have any recommendations then? Don't like that one off LL as I picked up car once with a huge scratch and they denied everything. Conveniently the camera wasn't working that day.

There is a car wash on the Old Kent Rd, just past Aldi on same side, if you are coming from Nunhead. It's set up in a car park. Was planning to try that one, has anyone else tried it?

The one in Copeland Rd in Peckham is good. Near the bottom in the arches.

Ive just been to the Copeland one today- excellent, a tenner to clean inside and out and my car was absolutely filthy before I went in, with dog hair all over the seats. very good job done.

I didn't know they weren't running anymore. I am interested in this too.

I saw 2 immigration control vans going that way over the weekend!

Even immigration vans need cleaning.

I just came back from this car wash (Hamlet football car park next to the East Dulwich sainsbury's). All I can say is that they have damaged my car by doing something I specifically asked them not to before handing over the key. Of course, they said "no problem" to accommodate my request but when I came back a little early from my shop, I spotted them doing exactly what I asked them not to! As a result, a 200 pounds worth of damage has been incurred to my car (just got off the phone from our garage).

When I voiced my anger at this, their response was "if you were aware of this potential issue, why did you get the car washed with us" and that it was "your fault". Then they proceeded to chat angrily amongst themselves (there was a group of them) and I couldn't understand a thing they were saying. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable and to a degree, threatened as a woman on my own.

We used this car wash a good 3/4 years ago and it was really well done then. Now that they have changed hands and the standard has fallen and these new people treat your car really roughly. As I was dropping off our car in the queue, they did a wheel spin with the car in front of ours to move it along. Of course, the owner of that car would never be aware of that and it was their attitude that was appalling.

If anyone is thinking about using them, I would really urge you to look for another place if you want to avoid any potential damage to your car!

What did they do exactly?

On a more basic level, they are doing a rubbish job of cleaning. Last two times I went, I got home and realised there were noticeable things I needed to finish off myself; and I am far from renowned for my dirt spotting abilities. I'm not going back there.
