Body shops repair collision damage, dents, rust and paint, and most work directly with insurance companies: you can choose any shop, not only the insurer's preferred one, and the shop will write a supplement if hidden damage turns up. Paintless dent repair fixes hail and door dings without repainting. Detailing shops clean and protect interiors and paint, from a basic wash-and-wax to ceramic coatings and paint protection film. Car washes range from self-service bays to express tunnels with monthly memberships. Upholstery shops repair seats, headliners and convertible tops, and restoration shops bring classic and collector cars back to original or custom condition.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are Open 24 hours.

Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.
Its Google rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 89 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.
Wilkes-Barre is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Wilkes-Barre follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I used this car wash yesterday, and aside from being the most expensive one in the area, the water pressure was slightly more than a kitchen faucet. The hose swing had no slack, and constantly got stuck, would you believe it, wasting time, so you have to add coins, or spend more. The transition from the selector, account for 20 more seconds of wash time. This is by far the worst experience I've had at a car wash, and I frequent a LOT of car washes. I had better luck using the hose at home. So we're ripping people off, and giving them horrible, unmaintained equipment that hinders, and doesn't help. Do better. Fix your establishment other than adding card readers to make more money. I took photos of all the issues with the place, and a report will be made. This is insane. Not even my first issue with them. I was just never contacted before.

Just a heads up, beware of bay #3 as the spray wand is broken and water shoots out of where it connects to the hose. Spraying you and not the car. 3/4/26 Never had any issues in all the years I used this location.

I used to go there a few years ago. Decided to go and wash my truck. Don't normally use the brush, but it was needed. The soap was coming out near the hose and was adjacent to the bruch. On top of that, it was spitting out up from the hose connected to the holer where it swings around. Needless to say, I had soap all over me and made it hard to scrub my truck. Boy was that a waste of some of my money. Don't think I'll go back again. Nope!!!!

*UPDATE: 02/21/2025 - Updating my review: I was contacted via text later in the evening, and they apologized for the confusion. They explained, "The processing company places a $13 hold on all car washes until the actual amount clears. If you check back, the correct charge should be reflected now." It would have been helpful if this information was posted where payments are made. Eventually, the remaining hold was refunded to my card. Moving forward, Iβll just use cash to avoid any issues. 02/04/2025 - Not happy that I was overcharged by $5 for the automatic car wash. I selected the $7 button for a quick basic wash as I was on a time crunch. I didn't realize until I came home and looked that I was charged as much as I was. I went back to look for the phone number to this place and called. Left a message. No call back as of yet. I will be disputing this charge.

I went here 7/26, paid $13 for the auto car wash in the center. for $13 I expected the car to get clean. All it did was spray water and dry the car, no cleaning whatsoever. I got home and was pumped to see the outcome and was extremely disappointed to see so much dirt still lingering. I was able to rub my finger to get the dirt off. There are no cleaning tools used at the car wash other than pressure.
