Because of its many claims, the carwash’s insurance has increased its deductible to $10,000, shared the article.
In the article, Watts explained that “between the cloth, the high pressure vents, the dryer sets off the keyless entry. If it sets it off more than three times it goes into an anti-collision theft mode.” The cars affected are Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
Jax Car Wash has reported having similar issues, stated the article. Ford released a statement saying it has not received any complaints about the problem.
