"You park your car inside and the entire wash machine moves around you. I find it very disorienting, and have to keep checking that I'm in park :). Find a fixed spot on the wall to look at."
"Great for quick wash when you don't want to spend an afternoon getting a full wash and wax. Starts at $7, bring towels to dry your car yourself. Line can be long, but wash itself is fast."
"Like a neighborhood hardware store but better. Big selection, but not so big as to make your project more difficult. Love that staff will help you find a 23 cent bolt or screw."
"Sign up for their physical and/or email mailing lists. They send out a lot of coupons and are very liberal about letting you use them. Ignore the expiration dates - they accept old coupons."
"A few miles outside Santa Monica, but had to include it on my list. Order one of the combo platters to taste a bunch of different dishes. Healthy, unique, flavorful. All-you-can-eat lunch deal."
