What Crew Carwash's reviews show

Crew Carwash reports vehicle damage in 7.8% of reviews — drawn from 4,465 of Crew Carwash's Google reviews run through WashIndex's damage-mention extraction, and that's roughly 3.3× the ~2.4% category median — on the higher end, so treat Crew Carwash with more caution than average. 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 Crew Carwash to peers on the same yardstick.
