Modem

Modem at 114 Grenoble Street in the Botanica district is the Modem chain's self-service-only site. The bays are touchless — active foam, high-pressure rinse, wax — and are complemented by vacuums. Payment is made at the machines on site, with the customer card or banknotes; the chain offers a night tariff and corporate cards. Website: spalatorie.modem.md.

Customers rate the service positively, and for many it was long the favourite wash in the area. Over the past year, however, reviews have noticeably worsened: regulars write that the foam and pressure are not what they were, spots remain after rinsing, the vacuums work intermittently and staff do not respond to remarks. Our advice: test the bay with a small amount and move to another if the pressure is weak.
