Had to take the trailer in to make sure it was up to food grade cleanliness, very helpful staff who were quick to get get the job done and they ensured the interior of the trailer was spotless. Also supplied me with a free coffee which was a bonus. Their loyalty scheme is a very good idea which other truck washes should do.

Found them on google before setting off to Northampton, bloke I spoke to on the phone was very helpful and gave clear instructions on how to find them (Im not from the area).
Pulled in and was met by two lads who pointed me in the direction of the cabin, they set to work straight away and the result was 5* both truck and trailer looked fantastic.
Polite, professional and a 5* finish highly recommend
