What Club Car Wash's reviews show

Club Car Wash reports vehicle damage in 6.6% of reviews — drawn from 22,560 of Club Car Wash's Google reviews run through WashIndex's damage-mention extraction, and that runs about 2.8× the ~2.4% chain median — elevated enough to read the per-location detail before trusting it with delicate paint. One important caveat: the figure counts how often damage is mentioned, and unhappy customers review at much higher rates, so the real per-wash probability is a fraction of this. Its value is in comparing Club Car Wash to peers on the same yardstick.
