I went there Saturday 4/4/2015 b/c I needed my windshield repaired so I let them change my oil and a few other things while I was there. At first I was really impressed with the efficiency and the price for everything but when I got into my vehicle after they got done washing and vacuuming it I noticed the latch/handle to my center console was completely broken off. The process of how they handled this situation has been unreal and they kept saying they didn't cause the damage but when I arrived it worked fine (I even pulled my wallet out of that console before giving them my keys!!!) and it is Monday and they still have not returned my calls even after the GSM told me he would get in touch with me first thing this morning to resolve this issue. I am absolutely disgusted with the way this location does business. THE MONEY SAVED WAS NOT WORTH THE DAMAGE THEY'VE DONE AND DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.
The worst car wash EVER. I took my mother-in-law's Cadillac for a bath since it was in need of a wash. I paid for a $20 wash, tipped t another $10 and the car was still dirty on the inside. The vacuum the used wasn't as good as my Dustbuster! The exterior wash was OK but the interior was sadly lacking. They did a very poor job and I'd never take my car here again. They also stole her handicapped parking permit out of the car!!

Was in Baton Rouge visiting my son and stopped at Barry's Car Wash on Essen Lane. When my car was returned to me, the driver's seat was damaged fairly extensively - scratched across the back of the seat. I originally thought it was something on the seat and asked one of the workers to wipe it down some more. After he wiped it down, you could see that the leather was, in fact, scratched. I approached the manager who immediately took a defensive and rude demeanor. He stated he thought it looked like it came from a belt, MY belt. I was wearing a cotton belt and showed him, by rubbing it on the leather, that cotton did not scar leather. I then agreed with him that it looked to be from a belt and asked to see everyone who had driven my car. The first person we saw had a smooth leather belt and I agreed that it would not cause any damage to my car. Then we went to the back of the establishment to see the person that drove my car in to the wash. He was wearing a brown studded/rivete
