So tonight I drove down to my local car wash to get it washed after all the crappy weather we had the past few days.

Go inside the gas station, pay for the wash and get the code for it. Enter the code, pull in, it starts washing the car, then just stops. Light turns green and tells me to exit. So I exit, go inside and tell them it pulled in, it started to wash the car and kicked me out.

They go outside, run all the diagnostic tests on it. Everything looked good, so they gave me a free wash to try it again.

This time I enter the code, pull in, it works fine. Light turns green, go to exit and hear a scraping noise almost, then a bang. Edge forward slowly and look in my mirror and find my drivers side skirt on the ground.

I went inside the gas station, and told the lady. We went inside the wash and checked it out. I couldn't find anything it caught on at all.

She called up her managers about it and took down all my information for the insurance claim. I hope to hear from them soon.
