I just returned from the Cactus on Ponce. I paid the $29.95. I thought it was decent service, not great. I had to remind them to vacuum the trunk and they only did an average job on that. Overall a decent job....

I have been to the Cactus on Piedmont many many times and liked them. The last visit, my car ended up with some kind of soap bubbles all over it. They insisted it was 'tree sap' and wouldn't rewash it. Since I...

They are organzied in check in, paying, and their washes/details. The wait area is great, with TV's, computers for online access, snacks etc. They have always done a great job on my car.

The service is pretty good adn you can can get your oil changed and car washed in one stop; however, not that consistent on the washing so check the car before you leave and the price is a bit high

I went through the Cactus on Ponce and came out with a twelve inch crack in my windshield. I was told this is not uncommon -- in the Spring they get dozens of these a month because of the change in temperature of the air versus the water. Are they kidding?! If that were true, no one would ever go through a car wash. They also said I must have already had a nick on the windshield from something else -- the crack is in front of the steering wheel. I think I would have noticed that before. Come on Cactus!
