    I have an account, you need to pick which ones to use. The ones i only use are located in Ft Pierce, Fl and San Antonio, TX and they do a great job and take their time. If you tip the guys in San Antonio they will wash the undercarriage.

    The beacon in Tifton GA did a great job on mine today, a guy came around with a light and white towel running over the truck looking and double checking to make sure it was all good. Heck even my frame is a nice shiny black and this was a so called corporate account deal.

    Amarillo BB does a decent job. Avoid Houston BB like the plague, the McCarty truck wash across the street from the Pilot is better but not open 24 hours. Truck O Mat in Laredo sucks too. It's hard to find a good truck wash anywhere.

    well this wasnt the question asked....but Little Sisters in Eloy does the best job anywhere...Heartland in Barstow too...Vernons used to , but havent been there in years...usually Truck O Mat does good tho

    Just left the Barstow BB. Holy wow. Wash inside, pull forward for hand drying, waxing (spray on rub in), and tire detail. Best truck wash I've ever had.

    FYI:--Truckmat in laredo is now a Beacon..as is Effingburg Il--beacon in barstow and eloy try to compete w/sisters so they do a lil more..but why w/sister's right there?
    Truck Tub--Kingman still better than most--but only if eastbound(because why get all cleaned up just to ride thru hell on 40 west and get trashed again LOL)
    As for back East--Tom Brooks Va exit 291(I81)--Hand wash dry--pretty good job
    Henry's exit 89(?)I95--across from TA Richmond Hill Ga
    Lucky 7 I30 Mt vernon Tx--behind the Loves
