• ANGELA T. December 13, 2022, 11:17 pm I am very unhappy with the service I received.. for the money you pay to get a car wash by a automated machine and than have to pay extra for them to clean and wipe down the interior.. and have them not do what you pay for is unacceptable!! I would have gone back in but it took over and hour 1/2 for them to only wash and vacuum my car!! Needless to say I will not be returning to this business! I would upload the final results of my vehicle but there is no option!! 0 0 Reply
• Kim V. December 11, 2022, 1:10 am The vacuum and wash are great…however I do find that you have to make sure its detailed properly afterwards (i.e., wiping the inside door frame and lifting the trunk to wipe away access water). 0 0 Reply

Beware!! They will destroy your car. I've gone here for years and always loved it. So when my boss needed her car detailed I recommended it and I was so embarrassed by the level of service. She picked me up afterwards. She had paid $200 and the car was still covered in bird poop and dirty on the outside. On the inside everything was dripping, soaking wet. Our clothes were soaking wet from sitting in the car for the drive and we had to go home and change and get everything dry cleaned. Everything was thrown around the car like someone had rifled through it. And there were cards advertising other businesses placed inside. The car still smells pungent and awful. It smells like strong, terrible cleaning products and it's been weeks. We worry it's toxic. We contacted management multiple times and they gave us the run around. They were snooty, dismissive and rude. They said they would call back and did not. They said they contacted the owner. I suspect they are lying and the owner does not know. They refused to refund or fix the issues.

For the price and level of service this is the best option in the area. They offer a military discount and generally have always done a good job on my vehicle. Overall you get a good value here for what they offer.

Some options

Went to this location for the first time today, sister takes her vehicle there often and never complained. However, I will not be bringing my vehicle back. I paid for the Safari Plus, with the following extras; Interior Dash and Door & Leather Conditioner. I arrived home after the wash and started to inspect the vehicle after noticing the windows weren't cleaned, inside or out, I had to do it when I got home. Although the dash looked clean, it wasn't , floor mat wasn't snapped back in after they removed it to clean and the back one still had debris in the mat. On top of all that, brand new tint now has a gouge in it. The damage is in the driver window, which I thoroughly inspected after installation of the tint and 2 weeks after when it was fully cured. Being it's in my drivers window, it's something I would notice had it happened before the wash. I now regret paying almost $80 for this wash & tip.

I come to this car wash often because I love their service. The value for the job done is what stands out the most.

This is my second time going there and being disappointed. I thought it was an anomaly the first time but it's my opinion that the quality of their service has just dipped in recent years. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

This visit was my second chance at this place. Silly me, I brought my Porche Panamera Executive model to be washed because the hubby was out of town. They took out a rear car mat and did not put it back in the car. I did not notice until my husband came home ( he doesn't miss anything) I immediately call to make a report and was told they will run through cameras. Never got a call back. Went in today to follow up, guess what?? No report, no record of my call. Just blank stare no customer service. Now I'm aware I'm not the only Porche in town. But the executive edition is not very common. I won't give them another chance

Number one it's not worth the money and it doesn't get your car clean. I had a few bugs on the front of my car. They are still all there after leaving the car wash. Second the owner is very rude and disrespectful to the people paying him money to clean their cars. The owner yelled at an elderly man and kept telling him if you think you can run the business better. Why don't you buy it it's for sale. That is not how you treat people that are using your service I will not be going back .

Donnie gave excellent customer service! He is so kind. This place is AWESOME! I have never been anything less than ecstatic about the quality of service. Fast, friendly, and clean. Best car wash around!

They did a horrible job on my car! I spent $60 for a mess. Windows and mirrors were full of spots. Inside of windshield included. Tires not clean and whatever they wipe on the outer part of tire to make it shiny, was splattered all over. I paid extra to have leather "conditioned." Seats were not completely clean and I had to clean off excess conditioner. My back bumper was scuffed up apparently from car wash brushes. Very disappointing.

Hands down the WORST car wash I have ever been to in my life. The staff did not even attempt to vacuum the inside of my car, as listed as part of the package, simply because my seats have pet hair on them, and that is listed as a separate package. Then ownership did not even have the decency to acknowledge my concerns, rather respond to me with an automated message. Very professional. I would not recommend Safari to anyone, ever. Also, if you do ever go here check your receipts before paying, because they intentionally charge you for the more expensive wash even if you tell them you aren't interested in it. This is my result from a $36.95 wash.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.
