5 Reasons Why Clinton Auto Is the Only Place Carl Takes His Vehicle

I started off going to Clinton Auto just getting my car cleaned. I loved their app and the soft-cloth tunnel, making my car spotless and easing my fears of ever using a touch car wash again.

I then realized that their Auto Shop was right next door, and honestly, I don't think I'll need to take my vehicle anyplace else. Here's why:

1) The car wash and kiosk technology are easy and convenient. You can use either to sign up for an unlimited car wash plan (you get a free car wash just for downloading the app), and your plan includes free vacuum tokens. You don't have to mess with tags on your windshield, either, because their high-tech system can read your license plate. The unlimited plans start at $19.99 a month, with discounts available for vehicles in the same family.

2) They believe in using top brands and equipment. At the car wash, that means they're grabbing RainX and Armor All Extreme products. In the body shop, they have a frame-straightening machine and a heated paint booth.

3) Their friendly staff explains things clearly and thoroughly. I brought my car over to get a look over and felt so welcomed by the mechanics. As someone who doesn’t understand everything going on under the hood, the staff was reassuring and did an amazing job explaining to me everything I needed to know about my car.

4) They offer mechanical work, bodywork, and more. I mentioned I had wanted to get my bumper fixed up, so they pointed me right out back to the body shop. I didn’t even know they could do that! He had my car bumper off, realigned, and put back on in less than 24 hours. I was and still am super grateful for the quick work by the Clinton Auto team, and I think it's really nice that they offer a free car wash and vacuum after every service.

5) When the dirt and the gunk get to be too much, they offer detailing by appointment. Even though I have the best of intentions about keeping the inside of my vehicle clean, it doesn't always happen and sometimes the grime is more than a vacuum can handle.

Both Clinton's Car Wash and Clinton Auto Sales & Service are family owned and operated businesses with more than 65 years of experience. They've been voted in the top 5 every year for our area's "Best of the Best," too, and I can honestly say you feel like a part of their family as soon as you want in the door.

Get started by searching for Clinton's Car Wash in the App Store or Google Play, or pop by 58 Dwight Ave., Clinton, to experience it for yourself. You'll see what I mean!
