Tidal Wave Wash Center

"I like most tidal wave locations, this one in particular has some issues. I paid for the wash and interior. When I got to the end the interior guys were nowhere to be found. I tracked them down and found them doing drugs in their car, so I couldn’t really trust them to perform the interior service."

"Pulled in at night and the gas station attendant told me it was prepaid so I ran my card for the prepay and twenty dollars popped up. After I pumped the gas I pulled away and he ran out and stopped me. He said the prepaid amount was his. Why would he have not stopped me from pumping the gas sooner? Why did he wait to flag me down after and not before? Why not tell me to move my car? This place is clearly hiring workers that can’t communicate clearly and may even be running a scam. Stay away and get gas up the road."

"The basic wash was always $7. It wasn't a good wash but for $7, it was worth running through there every month or so. As of January 2024, they raised it over 40% to $10. It's definitely not worth $10. There are plenty of other options on Lindbergh or Watson."

"Heres the result after a 22 dollar car wash. It didnt just leave swirls, the brush they were using scratched the paint off of the car. Rear wasnt even cleaned properly. NEVER AGAIN am i doing an auto wash"

"In combining a luxury car wash with a gas station and premium convenience store (not to mention the drive-thru Smoothie King location that’s also part of the complex), Tidal Wave provides a welcome addition to both Sunset Hills and the wider South County region. With entrances on Lindbergh and East Watson, the location is convenient for local traffic as well as those coming off I-44 a just few minutes down the road. The convenience store has incredible variety, far superior to any of its competitors in the area. As for the car wash itself, you’ll find several packages and options to satisfy many different price points. There’s an indoor waiting area if you choose one of Tidal Wave’s more intensive cleaning and detailing services. It’s also worth noting that this is a well-staffed location; on my first few visits, I always saw attendants inside and outside sanitizing handles and touchpoints, cleaning the gas pumps, and keeping the facility in pristine condition. All in all, Tidal Wave is a fantastic asset to Sunset Hills—hands down the best gas station and car wash combination in South County."
