What Flagstop Car Wash's reviews show

Flagstop Car Wash reports vehicle damage in 0.4% of reviews — drawn from 24,507 of Flagstop Car Wash's Google reviews run through WashIndex's damage-mention extraction, and that comes in well under the ~2.4% median — a reassuring number for a express tunnel operator.
