Not to mention the tracks you put your rims in and let it bang up against the side of the lip.
Tracks are pliable plastic. I checked into the whole process in great detail before I sent my car through there.

Good point on the "other people's dirt" factor, though. Most of the cars going through this particular one were well-maintained Euros and upscale Japs as it's a pretty expensive place... but you make a good point. Every option has its downside, but I think this one is ok as a once-or-twice a year last-resort. I love my car to death, but there are certain times when I have to be practical about it.
