If you've ever had a bad experience at a car wash you can relate with Jessica Sawyer from England.

Sawyer recently took her $122,000 black soft-top convertible Bentley to a Wash and Shine car wash and handed over the keys to the vehicle to a man washing the car in front of her.

Sawyer told the supposed employee she would be back in an hour for her car and left according to Broken News Daily.

In less than 15 minutes however she received a call from Manchester police saying someone had driven her vehicle into the front of the car wash.

The wreck caused $73,000 worth of damage.

"The insurance company have been amazing and have paid out, but the owner of the car wash has refused to admit responsibility," said Sawyer according to Broken News Daily. "Now they are having to take legal action against them."

As if the damage wasn't bad enough, the Wash and Shine owner isn't even sure if the driver who wrecked the car was an employee as the individual fled the scene.

Police are still investigating the incident but they're early opinion is the driver mistook the gas pedal for the brake and slammed right into the waiting area of the car wash according to Broken News Daily.

After watching the video, what do you think of the Bentley wreck? Do you feel bad for Sawyer or should she have been more responsible with her keys?
