Do I need an appointment?

No appointment needed for automatic or self-service washes. Just drive up during operating hours (Mon-Fri 7am-7pm, Sat 8am-6pm, Sun 9am-5pm). For premium detailing services, we recommend calling ahead at 785-713-1386 to ensure availability.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, credit cards, and debit cards at all wash bays. Our bill changer accepts $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills for self-service bays. All automatic wash lanes accept credit/debit cards.

How long does a wash take?

Automatic wash: 3-5 minutes depending on package selected. Self-service bay: You control the time (typical wash: 10-15 minutes). Full detailing: 2-4 hours depending on vehicle size and service level.

Are you open in winter?

Yes! We operate year-round. Our facility has heated bays and floor heat for winter operations. Winter is actually our busiest season due to road salt removal demand.

Is touchless washing safe for my car?

Absolutely. Our touchless automatic system uses high-pressure water and specialized chemicals to clean without brushes touching your paint. This is the safest automatic wash method and prevents scratching or swirl marks.

What's the difference between hand wax and ceramic coating?

Hand wax provides 2-3 months of protection and shine. Ceramic coating is a permanent chemical bond lasting 2-5 years with superior protection against UV, scratches, and chemicals. We're the only provider of ceramic coating within 30 miles.

Do you serve areas outside Frankfort?

Yes! We serve all of Marshall County including Marysville, Seneca, Blue Rapids, Waterville, Beattie, and Baileyville. Many customers drive 15-20 miles for our premium detailing services since we're the only option in the region.

What size vehicles can you accommodate?

Our automatic bay handles sedans, SUVs, and standard pickup trucks. For oversized vehicles (lifted trucks, RVs, commercial vehicles), please use our self-service bays. Call ahead for detailing on oversized vehicles.

How do I book detailing services?

Call us at 785-713-1386 to schedule detailing or ceramic coating. We'll discuss your vehicle's needs, provide a custom quote, and schedule a convenient time. Most detailing can be completed same-day or next-day.
