Credit card swiper didn't work, machine doesn't take nickels and dimes, and there's no change machine onsite to get quarters. I had to go across the street to the Chevron, where the clerk very graciously gave me enough quarters for a quick wash --which was only 4 minutes, and not enough to get all the mud out of my wheel wells. It's the only game in town, so I guess if I really needed a car wash and I had to get it in Alturas, I would come here again. Otherwise I would keep driving.
