      I was given a coupon for a $20 free car wash at Elephant Car Wash in Burien. I go to use the coupon it doesn't work. I asked two employees there to help me. All they said was that I did it wrong. As my car was stuck at the payment kiosk and it had other vehicles behind me I had to pay another $20 to get this supposed free car wash. I called corporate in Auburn three times and emailed once. After the first phone call the young lady told me that she'd get right back with me. This happened on July 3rd it's now July 26th. Still waiting for that call back!
