I purchased a car wash on the App at 13:22 on the 11th of February. I received an email confirming payment but no voucher on my App. I messaged IMO from the App advising them of the problem but have received no acknowledgement or reply or voucher as at 13:15 on 12th February.

Cleaning was very bad this time

Cleaning was very bad this time. I’m a regular IMO car wash customer. It was good every time, but not this time. Wheels and doors were not cleaned properly and the air blowing machine/dryer (which usually comes close to the car to dry the water) was not working, so my car looked half washed. Bad experience.
