2012 - 17 : Car Wash

I used to get my car washed  at the car wash Tesco Shah Alam parking area last year (maybe last 2 years) when they had just started their operation. At that time, they charged RM12 per/car including vacuuming inside the car and a lower price if we subscribed their membership package (which the fee didnt make sense, unless you got your car washed everyday)  The service was quite professional. They gave proper receipt and checked the car for any scratches before washing.
Then my friend told me about a car wash at Angerik Mall parking lot which charged RM10/car for the same service and the parking fee of RM1 was redeemable to the car wash customers. They offered free car wash after 5 visits. I went there for quite a while till the car wash got some issue with the Angerik Mall management and the customer had to pay the parking fee. The car wash owner told me that it was temporary till they settled their new contract but not long after that they stopped their operation. Maybe it didnt work out after all.
Lucky for me, my brother-in-law found a new car wash close at home. It was in front of Gaint Sek 7 Shah Alam. They charged RM8 for sedan car (washing and vacuuming). It was convenient, reasonable and the service was quite satisfactory. The car wash was operated by foreigner and they hardly spoke any Malay. However, last month the car wash was gone. Literally gone...like the car wash spot was empty.
Today, i went to car wash Tesco Shah Alam again after 1-2 years. There were not many cars (or employees)  as it used to be and now they charge RM15/car. I was just about to hand my car key, when the car wash employee started to mumbling about nano wash bla bla...i insisted to have a normal car wash and he said that i have to be a member to get one. It was ridiculous. it's not that i want to join some exclusive car washing society. i failed to get my car washed today and i still felt that being car wash membership is a bad idea.
Getting car wash service is suppose to be no string attached services. Being a member means we have to give our personal details like name, address etc. i wont trade such information just to get my car wash. Thanks but no thanks.
