This is your typical "Pay at the screen, follow the bouncing ball, and pull in" type of wash. They have four wash levels -- $6, $8, $10, $12 -- but the two lower options tend to get the job done. There is no coin/bill changer per se, but the machine in front of the car wash can handle credit cards, bills, and coins.

Frankly, reviews across multiple services tend to be unfavorable, typically about the car wash's taking money and then not providing service, although some are unhappy with the final product. I don't dispute those reviews, but I have visited this car wash with multiple vehicles over the years, and have never been dissatisfied. I usually get a basic wash or the next step up, rarely top of the line, given that I'm on dirt roads so often. They'll even give you a good two minutes on the dryer when you pull out. Frankly, if you want your car washed right, you have to do it yourself anyways, and my observation over time is that most automated car washes do a poor job on the rear of the vehicle. This last time around, Mrs. QDV's car looks really nice, and all the dry dirt we've been carrying around for months is history.

Those who are from winter states/regions will scoff at the idea of any kind of winter protection (which isn't available anyways), although the natives will warn you that it can get pretty cold during the winter months, and you may need to get your fireplace going when the temperature hits 60 degrees. If there is snow/sleet in this area, it doesn't last long, so there's no need, especially sand is used most commonly to deal with precipitation.

There are five bays with vacuums and trash cans off to one side, and the lone vending machine dispenses towels/wipes.

NB: While one can purchase Justin Boots in Justin, TX, the name of the town is derived not from the boot company established by Herman Justin, but rather, from the name of a popular train engineer, Justin Sherman. That their names are similar further contributes to the misconception.
