“We relocated to Lenoir, NC from Cleveland, TN a little over one year ago. We had been members of a car wash in TN so we immediately joined Tidal Wave on arrival. Tidal Wave is head and shoulders above any car wash we have ever experienced. This is largely due to Adam Hicks, the manager of this facility. He is one of the best managers I have ever seen. He leads by example and is an excellent role model for his employees. He does not just sit in the office but is out there in the trenches every day. He works every bit as hard as they do and, as a result, has intense loyalty from every one of them. I am retired, but I told Adam if I ever had to return to the work force I would be blessed to have a manager of his caliber. I have worked in many locations throughout my career, and Adam is by far one of the best managers that I have ever seen. Adam is the sole reason that the Lenoir location of Tidal Wave enjoys the level of success that it does. He also is extremely diligent in keeping the mechanics of the wash in excellent condition. Everything always works well and the level and quality of each wash are consistent with one another. Tidal Wave is extremely lucky to have Adam as a manager at this facility.”
“Caleb was awesome helping me pick out the right vehicle for our family. He was knowledgeable, honest, not trying to push me toward any one vehicle. We talked about my needs and wants and he was very down to earth and just easy to work with.
Thanks again Caleb.

“I can’t say enough about the staff and management at this carwash. I choose this carwash because it has an undercarriage wash!! It cleaned great and the vacuum cleaner really is very powerful. When I got ready to leave I couldn’t find my keys. The manager and staff helped me search tirelessly. I had already checked the trash can I used. When the manager looked too it already had a clean trash bag. I had an appointment in Morganton so my boyfriend brought me my extra key fob and when I left my display read key fob left behind. When I got out of my appointment I called back to the car wash and the manager had found my keys. She looked back on the video camera and sure enough I had thrown them in the trash and when it got changed it went into the dumpster.i will always be grateful for Kat the manager going above and beyond in customer service for helping me search and finally retrieving my key fob, house, and business keys! I drove back to hickory with a relief and in a very clean car too! You can’t find customer service like this anymore or a clean vehicle! Again, thank you so much, Kat!!”
“This is my spot!! I always clean my vehicle once a week. I wash my car by hands and they use nothing but the best products of quality. I never have to wait to vacuum or wash my car. honestly this is the safest car wash I’ve been to and they will forever have my business”
“Our truck had been sitting under trees for months without being washed bc we are unable to do so. We wanted a good hand wash with an eye looking at where it needed to be scrubbed harder. I wished I had pictures to show how wonderful they did! Excellent job!”
“Whoever the young lady was here on September 24th literally was working HARD. Cars were lined up she was rolling them through like she was a captain leading an army kudos to her she deserves a raise!!!”

“I recently had my vehicle detailed by Image Detailing & Collision, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. As a family-owned business, Christie and her family truly went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. My car looks impeccable, and the overall experience was top-notch. I highly encourage everyone to support local, family-owned businesses like this one. Their dedication and personal touch truly stand out. 5 stars without hesitation! Thank you again Christie”
“The staff here was super friendly and got me in and out within 20 minutes! My car looks great and for an awesome price too considering all the hands-on work they do! Will definitely be back :)”
“First time having the car cleaned here was very pleased the boys did a good job so if you haven't tried them out yet go and check them out you will not be disappointed”
“Self service detailer/ car wash. But they have a really good deal of when you purchase the ultimate wash you get a free vacuum coin and believe me it lasts long enough to get the whole car vacuumed. They have had some issues where the machine doesnt give this coin but when I contacted them they explained it had a lot to do with the coin shortage going on. They are very nice people and had offered to get me a replacement coin.Services: Vacuuming”
“Whenever I have used their laundry machines, they have been clean and the owner always comes around and asks if I have everything I need. He is very kind and helpful! I only use their machines to wash my large comforters but that's a couple times a year and I always have a good experience.”
“Great do it yourself facility. I will not go to any other area carwash at night anymore since they have lights out or off and the feeling of having to look over your back while cleaning your car. Not here! Very well lit at night and very clean and well kept. I stopped here coming home from camping .
Vacuums worked great. I didn't kick that nasty smell back out at you. My only complaint is that the triple foam gun wouldn't work in the bay I was in but wasn't an issue for me.
It's definitely worth passing 2 others to come over here.”
“Excellent customer service!!! Our car is super clean and the car wash puts this clean fragrance in your car...it's so refreshing, definitely will be coming back thru this at least once a week.”

“By far in the area this is the best car wash. I've used every single one around town and between the blowers and the wheel cleaner brush, that's something nobody else has and I enjoy using that wheel cleaner brush to get my wheels just right and sparkly! All settings work at least in the second bay from the road. Vacuum works, credit card swiper works. The blower is amazing for people with rain guards and a blast out the door handles. Get them free of that water drip. Just one thing would be nice once a day maybe to make sure that your bays are clean cuz there was some pretty good debris in my Bay. That's my only complaint. Still giving it five stars.”

“It might charge you $10 for the $7 car wash, go back you only get charged $3 for a $10. No clue who or why they came up with that little scheme but it gets you to come back well it did me.”
“Ran car thew the warsh an got inside clean they were all polite an cleaned inside to look nice I'll be back I wish you didn't have to pay online to use the rewards app”
“Reasonable prices, good location, vacuum cleaner didn't work well. Auto car wash $7 for supreme and works pretty good. I would recommend if you need a car wash at a reasonable price.”
