### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-02-11, version 1.0*

App doesn’t work when scanned at car wash & no support

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2023-12-11*

No one wants to pay for their car wash with an app. Will avoid from now on.

### 1/5 — How to add a car?

*2023-12-07, version 1.0*

The app is working pretty good except for once you go through it the first time, there’s no way to add another car that I can figure out. This app needs a “Contact Us” button. ;-)

### 1/5 — App does not give Wednesday $7 washes

*2023-10-19, version 1.0*

On Wednesdays my HyVee’s car washes all levels cost $7 as a sale. But the app doesn’t reflect this. The app still gives normal prices. Bad app.

### 1/5 — Cant cancel

*2023-09-20, version 1.0*

I cant cancel my membership. I have call the store, gas station and 800 number. Also sent 5 emails to two different email addresses. Help!

### 1/5 — Privacy concern

*2023-09-12, version 1.0*

No phone number should be needed to get car washes. Be ware of shady data collection.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-09-09, version 1.0*

Cant cancel membership. Doesn’t work at barely any of the hyvees. They could be making some money if they would roll out and use it at every Hy-Vee. Their loss

### 1/5 — Terrible

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2023-06-12, version 1.0*

It cleans your car but over half the time it’s BROKE down which is a huge annoyance! Also pleasant hill needs to clean their air dryers they are filled with leaves so your car doesn’t even get dried!

### 1/5 — Works great, when it does

*2022-12-10, version 1.0*

Works fine - lots of clicks and extra steps for no reason. At my location (bank of 4 wash bays) It frequently scans and says that it doesn’t work on this machine but ‘another one at this location’ does. Which one of course is unknown, it’s ridiculous

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2022-08-14, version 1.0*

App is not user friendly, went to use it and scanned the code, didn’t do anything.  Next try said I already used my code.

### 1/5 — No touch free

*2026-07-18, version 1.0*

Is did not allow me to select a touch free washes.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-18, version 1.0*

Doesn’t even work to pay for a wash

### 1/5 — Worst app ive ever used!!

*2025-04-19, version 1.0*

Nonstop errors… WILL NOT accept payments of any kind… tried eight different cards and would not accept any and will nit let me pay to renew… zero customer service help of any kind and zero response to multiple developer emails. Literally the worst app ive ever seen

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2025-03-20, version 1.0*

Awful service. App scans and registers the wash request as successful and then never turns on the wash.

### 1/5 — Something always wrong

*2024-12-07, version 1.0*

More than half the time something is wrong with these car washes.

### 1/5 — Don’t fall for it!

*2024-09-27, version 1.0*

I paid for a car wash and NONE of the bays were operable. Typical of Hy-Vee these days.

### 1/5 — Very inconsistent

*2024-08-07, version 1.0*

I’ve had numerous issues of the all not working and even bays being available. Went today and every single one was blocked off.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2024-06-19, version 1.0*

No one wants to pay for their car wash with an app. Will avoid from now on. It also doesn't honor the discounted price shown.

### 1/5 — 5 steps before activation

*2024-06-10, version 1.0*

It takes 5 steps before the wash is activated!!! You only need one step, scan QR and done. Especially you know by tracking my phone i’m physically at location AND scanning the QR.

### 1/5 — 5 steps before activation

### 4/5 — Works great

*2026-04-26, version 1.0*

Love that I can do a subscription at a very close location!

### 3/5 — Great Car Wash - when it works.

*2024-01-30, version 1.0*

I recently signed up and the last two-three days the soft touch in Lakeville has been broken down. This is frustrating when you carve out time to get it done. Otherwise the wash part is great!!

### 3/5 — Great….when it works

*2023-08-11, version 1.0*

Works great most of the time, but it’s frustrating when you pull up and it won’t load.

### 3/5 — Like that it’s App driven

*2022-12-14, version 1.0*

I’ve been using this for several months and mostly happy with it. One of issues though is that when you scan the QR code it will say that this wash bay is not connected, use another. If only certain wash bays have technology to accept scan, then those bays should be identified. Imagine being in line with others behind you, and you need to move. 

Like that I buy month’s worth of washes and it’s billed to my credit card. Convenient.

### 3/5 — It’s ok…

*2022-03-31, version 1.0*

The app is incomplete- it has a “start washing” button just after you’ve scan the code and wash door opens - please fix this is as it puts you back into new wash mode

### 2/5 — Rip off

*2024-10-12, version 1.0*

I got charged more in the app than I would’ve. If I just bought it at the kiosk doesn’t make much sense. I won’t use the app again.

### 2/5 — 5 steps before activation

### 2/5 — Works okay

*2023-11-04, version 1.0*

Certain wash bays at the Hy-Vee in Shakopee never work with the app and you find yourself having to move around often to find one that connects. Very inconvenient when other cars pull up behind you and you have to ask them to move.

### 2/5 — How to add a car?

*2023-07-31*

The app is working pretty good except for once you go through it the first time, there’s no way to add another car that I can figure out. This app needs a “Contact Us” button. ;-)
