Charlie”s Old Fashioned Truck Wash

IMG_0524IMG_0528 Hello everyone,

If you know me personally, you’ll know I”m pretty picky about the cleanliness of my truck. Most of the time, the job of cleaning my equipment gets done on the weekend. My wife and son are a big help in this area. I guess you would say I haven’t been too pleased with the results of many truck washes one receives  on the road. However, recently the truck just needed to be washed on the road. I had some reservations about stopping at Charlies Old Fashioned Truck Wash in San Antonio, TX. As I pulled in, I noticed this place was extremely busy… so I thought maybe this is a good sign that they’ll do a good job for me.  While sitting in line, I met some drivers and showed them the Cascadia. They were very impressed with  the quietness and the way the door opened and closed like a fine luxury car. When it was my turn to pull into the wash bay, the workers did a very thorough job and even wiped the truck dry upon completion of the wash. The workers were courteous and professional. I felt my money was well spent on this particular wash. I would recommend this place to anyone out there needing a good truck wash. Thanks and be safe…

Henry Albert
