Best car wash in Port Jervis, New York (NY) 2025

They post pictures of license plates. Patrons that frequent the wash bays apparently either vandalize the bays or equipment. I can certainly understand that owning the wash bay and dealing with inconsiderate people is something that comes with the territory. I just do not understand the decision making and logic behind posting pictures of license plates of vehicles or people. It’s definitely not a deterrent. It’s more of an emotional response and it invites more harm then good. Fostering a good working relationship with Port Jervis Police and the successful criminal prosecution and civil restitution is more effective. It’s a small town and the word will get out fast. Try asking for the patrol cars to increase the visibility and presence of your business. They also pin up little arrogant signs with arrows and pictures informing people not to spray truck beds etc etc. If you use the same vacuum cleaner over and over again, they post notes on the vacuum cleaners that read “this vacuum is utilized more than any other vacuum on the premises, there are other vacuums to use”. It’s beyond strange. The car wash in Pennsylvania is only 1-2 miles from this one. The wash is amazing. It’s high power, warm water and the same price ($2.00) for 4 minutes. The soap is really visible on the vehicle and you can even smell the detergent while spraying compared to Mimi’s Car Wash. You barely notice any soap coming from Mimi’s sprayers. I only stop at Mimi’s car wash when my car is dusty or when I don’t need major washing done to the vehicle. The pressure is not really there for whatever reason. The Pennsylvania car wash can get packed due to the two bays that feature the automatic feature. The remaining bays are self service and you’re in and out. The PA car wash also has a person that cleans the bays and guess what? You don’t feel watched, there isn’t any kind of arrogant or condescending signage or notes and the price is right. ~Flight
