Well not mine it was a mates.

He got on the chain thing that pulls you through and off he went. About half way through the the brushes at the front that come down from the roof jammed against the front of the car and the motors swung into his roof with the car still being dragged into it all. The car was jammed there over night and an engineer has just taken the motors off to free it but the roof is dented/scratched about half way down and the sunroof got pushed in. All the owners are saying is he must have driven into it!

I googled ARC and a few people seem to have had their cars chewed by them anyone on here?

:idea: Bucket, sponge and leather FTW. I dont trust mechanical car washes, well ok just slightly more reliable than Polish valeters....
 
I never use car washes of any type as something usually get mangled you just don't expect it to be the whole car!
 
Automatic car washes and jet washes are the biggest waste of money. What a rip off:nerner:

How do it cause electrical faults? I know my car leaks but I keep the electrics dry:p

And I found out the other day that it's only the cheap washes that scratch because they only use water and don't have kind deturgents in them. Dunno if its true or not:confused:
