A: To change your name, address, or email, you can go to the drop-down menu in the upper left corner of the app and select “edit profile”. You will see your personal information listed.

Q: Why can’t I change my phone number myself?
A: The app won't allow you to change your phone number because that phone number is directly tied to your account and your app won't function correctly if you change it while signed in. But, if you contact us, we can change your phone number for you. Once changed, you will just need to log out and sign back in using the new phone number to access your account again.

If you are going out of town or you won’t be washing for about a month or more, you can cancel your subscription and then have us reactivate it any time after one month from the date your next payment would have been due. If you are only leaving for a couple weeks, it might be more beneficial to leave your subscription activated depending on how frequently you wash.

b. Car Washing & Detailing
​
Car Wash
Q: What are your busiest times? What are your slowest times?
A: Slow times and busy times vary from location to location. Some locations slow down some between 3:00 and 6:00, while others pick up around that time. Some are slow to start right at open, while others have a line at the beginning of the day. And, at any given point, it is usually hard to tell exactly how busy we will be because our business is all based on the weather. This is why we have installed live stream cameras at all our sites to show the line on the driveway. This way, you can always see how busy we are before you make the drive to visit. You can access these live streams either through our mobile app or via our website at www.mrcscarwash.com/live-streams. As a rule of thumb though, if it is sunny out, we are busier, and if it is cloudy out, we will likely be slower. If there is rain in the forecast, that might also slow us down compared to a forecast with no rain for several days. Also, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be our busiest days on average.
Q: Why am I being charged for a third row even if you don’t touch it?
A: If you have an unlimited plan, you will not be charged this fee. The reason for this upcharge is that over the last decade, popularity of SUVs has grown exponentially, resulting in most vehicles washed being SUVs. The reality is larger SUVs take us around twice the amount of man hours to process when compared to regular sedans and small SUVs. We believe that rather than increasing the full-service price for everyone, it is more fair for the vehicles that cost us more to process to be charged a little extra. We concluded that vehicles equipped with 3rd rows were the most time consuming and costly to process on average. As a result, we have implemented an up charge on our full-service options for vehicles equipped with a 3rd row. Even if you always have your third row down or do not wish to have it vacuumed, there is still more hatch area to vacuum, extra and larger windows to clean in the back, and the size of the vehicle demands more soap and water and wiping on the exterior. These are all reasons why vehicles equipped with 3rd row seating are charged a little more on the full-service side.
Q: Why aren’t my rubber mats automatically washed with the interior (full service) wash services?
A: Charging for rubber mats became necessary due to the overwhelming numbers of rubber mats there are in vehicles today. It had become too time-consuming to wash all these rubber mats and these extra mats increased the wait time for other customers. As a result, to keep things efficient and avoid heavily increasing the price of every wash, we instituted a charge for each rubber mat washed. Many times, patrons only need one or 2 of their mats washed while the other rubber mats remain relatively clean. When we didn’t charge for mats, many requests were to wash all rubber mats even though only one or two were dirty. This is why we must charge for rubber mats to be washed.
​
Detailing
Q: Do I need an appointment for a detail service?
A: Yes, if you are interested in our detailing services, you will need an appointment. You can contact any location that offers detailing by phone and ask for the detail department. They will assist in setting you up with a date and time that works best.
Q: How long does the detailing take?
A: All detail times vary based on what type of service was requested, how many details we have that day and the condition of the vehicle. It could take most of the day to complete. For this reason, we recommend that you drop your vehicle off with us and coordinate a ride that can pick you up and bring you back when the vehicle is finished. All details are finished the same day and our detail professionals will call you when it is ready to be picked up.
Payments
Q: What methods of payment do you accept?
A: We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. You can also pay with a Mr. C’s gift card or prepaid card which gets you bonus cash on purchases of $100 or more. If you have an unlimited plan, your washes can be redeemed from the bar code in the app that you will find when you select “wash vehicle”. If you want to add any extra services, tip, or merchandise, those can be charged to the credit card you have on file through the app.
Q: What is the average tip amount that patrons leave?
A: If you wish to tip our crew, people typically leave a tip that ranges somewhere between 10 and 20% of their wash price, but any tip is greatly appreciated and never required or expected.
Q: Are tips shared?
A: Yes, tips are shared. All tips received go into one pool that gets split up evenly amongst all workers.
Vehicle Specs
Q: What is the maximum width that tires can be to go through the wash?
A: 12 inches.
Q: What is the maximum height a vehicle can be to go through wash?
A: 7 feet.
Q: What is the maximum width a vehicle can be to go through the wash?

Q: Will my ladder rack or bike rack be ok going through the wash?
