What a good car wash should be. Mostly.
This car wash is of the hybrid worker pre-wash / automated tunnel style. When you first pull in, an automated payment station either scans an RFID tag if your a member, or collects payment for the wash you choose. The prices are fairly average.
After queuing up, when you pull into the entrance, a worker does a pre-wash of your vehicle to get the spots the automated equipment has trouble with. This is the "mostly" part. Depending on what worker is running the show, sometimes the worker will simply go through the motions and take less than 20 seconds, other times they will take a good 2-3 minutes to scrub various spots. I've noticed which employee is working makes a huge difference in quality. I prefer going when the wash is not busy.
Then the equipment rolls your car down the tunnel into the various equipment. At the end, an extremely powerful air dry system blow-drys your car. Be wary, more than once the high pressure from either the water jets or air dry has loosened trim on my vehicle. If your car is newish, you should be fine, but if your car is a bit beat up, you may want to wash it somewhere else.
They also offer two dirt-cheap monthly unlimited packages (~$30 or $40) that let go go in pretty much whenever you want. It's controlled by a small RFID tag they stick to the inside of your windshield.
All in all, a decent place to get your car washed. My only complaint is that they're only open til 6pm, but for a car wash, that's to be expected.
