How is the "best" car wash determined in this list?

+
WashIndex ranks Houston, TX car washes by their Google review rating, restricted to locations with at least 30 customer reviews so that small-sample outliers don't surface. Where ratings tie, the location with more reviews wins. The pool is restricted to the LLM-classified car-wash formats that actually wash vehicles on site — Express Tunnel, Full Service, In-Bay Automatic, Self-Serve Bay and Hand Wash — so that detailing/tint shops, car dealerships and gas stations with attached washes don't crowd out the actual car-wash operators.

About this ranking

Ranking by Google review rating across LLM-classified Houston car washes with at least 30 reviews. The narrow 0.00-star spread across the top 5 means ranks 2–5 can swap with small data changes; the cluster as a whole is more interesting than the exact order.
