This used to be a pretty solid car wash, but it seems to have taken a bit of a nosedive as of late. If you want to pay nearly $40 for a spotty, streaky mess, you'll be very satisfied with their work. The workers will also help themselves to whatever change is left in your cup holders, so you don't need to feel pressured to tip.

Yes this place is kinda Expensive but they do a great job so I don't mind paying up if they do what is promised & it looks good! Workers are doing their best out there & the work shows. Was happy with my wash!

Since my last review, Alamo has become my regular hand-wash car wash location. I usually get the "Gold" wash package, which includes a full-service hand wash, rainbow wax, sealer & polish wax, clear coat sealant, chassis bath, rust inhibitor, exterior treatment, and an air freshener (choice of several scents). I thought they did a great job on getting my incredibly dirty car clean, inside and out! They have both indoor and covered outdoor waiting areas. Also, a small convenience store with car accessories, drinks, snacks, etc. There's also a small restaurant called Lov Ch Ch (café, breakfast/brunch, desserts) that's in the same shopping center. Good place to wait for your car to be completed.

I like it. It's like an old school car wash with a modern twist. Basically there are people that vacuum when you drop your car off. They move it on to the conveyor and your car gets sprayed down by the pre-wash mixture. Actual people, one on each side, wipe the car down...then it travels down where it gets a thorough rinse. Once outside there are people that wipe down the outside and inside of the car. I remember car washes like this being like $20 back in the day, but today I paid $38 for the gold package with a $5 tip. My mom's car is on the bigger side and sometimes other places charge more for that. All in all I am satisfied with the service. It took around 30-40 min to complete. My car was nice and shiny, everything felt clean and had the fresh lemon scent. I went during my lunch time, so i ordered ahead to Wallace chicken around the corner. Once my car was done, swung by the chicken place, picked up and got back to work on time.

Good car wash place! The car came out clean and thorough! It took about 30 minutes and price was reasonable! I would recommend!

Untouched rims

I Pay for the highest tier and didnt even get what i paidfor, rims not even touched. Cleans my tires last gets the black stuff on the sides of the car. Taking short cuts . Half windshield cleaned what the heck Edited: manager helped sort things out and made package clear while helping what another worker missed to clean

I only post this picture because I hope the business can see and refer what happened

If I could give zero stars, I would. I've been to Alamo Car Wash in Walnut about five times only because it's close to my house, but after today I refuse to ever come back. Every single time it has been something, but today with Antonio was the last straw. I pulled up around noon, made it obvious I was waiting, and still got ignored while a guy who showed up after me got serviced first. When I confronted him in Spanish to make sure there was no confusion, he brushed me off with some nonsense about putting us together. That's not how customer service works and that moment already told me this place doesn't value its customers. The real deal breaker came when he opened my car door without a care in the world, banging it against equipment like it was nothing. When I called him out on it, his answer was "this doesn't scratch." That made me furious because it's not about whether the item can scratch, it's about how careless he was with my car. His attitude was immature and dismissive and when I asked for a manager, suddenly the manager was off for the day. When I asked for a supervisor, apparently none existed. Instead of accountability, Antonio literally walked away from me while I was speaking to him. That was the final confirmation that this business is unprofessional, careless, and disrespectful. I don't care if Alamo Car Wash in Walnut is the closest to my house, I will gladly drive the extra fifteen minutes to La Puente Hand Car Wash where the service is respectful, professional, and my car actually comes out looking clean. If you are thinking about trying Alamo, save yourself the stress and just go to La Puente Hand Car Wash instead because they know how to treat both people and cars the right way.

Empty on a regular Friday.

First of all, they just told me they don't have anyone to do interior and can only wash exterior. Other than that, they said a 911 is too low and they can't wash it, seriously? No wonder no one is here

Great service. Not too expensive. I paid $45 for a full wash. Only reason I have a 4 stars is because the amount of time it takes! Be prepared to wait an hour for an inside/outside wash. Also, I didn't get any type of air freshener which I feel should have been added to the package!

Date and time of silver full service

Just wanted to know if you are open for car wash?

Margie, they are typically open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.

Do you still offer "Rain Checks" (offer to rewash cars after next day rain) for people who have had their car washed there, and rain the day after?

Hello Dodds, Thanks for contacting us. Yes, our rain check policy remains in place.…

He didn't bother to show up to the appointment, I texted TWICE for an update and didn't receive a response. Based off the reviews, it seems like this is a common thing with this business.

I booked the $300 "Clay Bar & Polish Package" through their website on Aug 22 and messaged him on Instagram to confirm availability. It was a last minute request so we rescheduled for the week after Aug 30 at 7am. I reconfirmed the appt the night before on the 29th. My bf and I are out there slightly before 7am to wait for their arrival, but when they didn't show up, I gave them a call at 7:42am. His first excuse was that his partner was supposed to message me to let me know they'd be late, but that he'd be here by 8am. Then around 8am, he messages me to tell me his guy was confused with the morning route and that they'd need to go back for their equipment so earliest he'd make it would be by 9am. I mentioned we'd been standing outside for over an hour and he, in response, cancels the appt with a screenshot of their deposit policy reminder that states: "Without a deposit, arrival times are not guaranteed. We prioritize clients who confirm their spot with a deposit. Please don't expect punctual arrival or express frustration over minor delays if a deposit hasn't been made." My bad for missing it, but it's all the way at the bottom of their long af page (booked using my phone). Also during the booking page, only the cancelation policy was noted. Throughout the whole Instagram exchange, no mention of a deposit was made until he was running late. It would have been courteous to mention it upfront, and I would have paid that deposit. Seems like he just wanted an excuse to not show up.

It was only after I noticed and brought up the damage that I was told it had "already been there." This contradicts the claim that any concerns were discussed beforehand. To clarify, the area is discoloration mentioned in Jesus's comment was from a side panel of the back seat which I acknowledged after the service that it was already there. The area of concern is separate from the damage shown in the photos and not what I am referring to in my complaint. What is most concerning is the lack of accountability. After Jesus left, I reached out to express my frustration. We exchanged a few messages, and then communication stopped entirely. I received no follow-up, no resolution, and no effort to address the issue. Being ignored after raising a legitimate concern only added to the disappointment. I drive my vehicle daily and am very familiar with its condition. Even my husband, who frequently drives my car, confirmed that the discoloration and roughness on the gear shifter were not present prior to the detailing. His vehicle is nearly 10 years older than mine, yet his gear shifter shows far less wear. It is unreasonable to suggest that this level of damage was already there. Mistakes can happen, but professionalism is demonstrated through honesty, accountability, and willingness to make things right. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Based on how this situation was handled, I would caution others and recommend asking detailed questions and documenting your vehicle's condition before service. I hope this company takes feedback seriously and improves transparency, communication, and accountability moving forward.

I paid $300 for an interior detail and unfortunately I was extremely disappointed with the result…read more I understand no detail is going to be absolutely perfect, but my issue wasn't a few small spots being missed. There were multiple areas of the interior that appeared not to have been cleaned at all. The car was detailed inside a garage, which he later explained made it difficult to see everything. He did bring and use his own strong detailing light. I can understand how the lighting could have caused some of the spray/residue left on the controls and other surfaces to be overlooked. That really wasn't my biggest issue, though. My main problem was finding so many areas that seemed to have been completely untouched. After the detail, I found a significant amount of crumbs and debris alongside and underneath the passenger seat and in the seat rails. When I extended the seat, there were still crumbs in the areas that became exposed. The storage compartment at the bottom of the passenger door had not been cleaned. I also have a small removable quarter holder near the cup holders, and it apparently wasn't lifted because there was still dirt underneath it. One of the bigger issues was the storage compartment underneath the center armrest. It didn't appear to have been cleaned, but somehow water had gotten inside. When I tried wiping the water up myself, I realized it had mixed with the dirt already in the compartment and turned into gunk. I ended up having to clean each of the small individual crevices myself. There were also milk stains underneath one of my floor mats. The top of the mat had been cleaned, but underneath it had not. There was also product/spray residue left behind on the climate controls, iDrive controls, and other surfaces. Again, I could understand some residue being difficult to see in the garage. What I had a much harder time understanding were entire compartments, underneath removable items, underneath the mat, and areas around and underneath the seats not being cleaned. I ended up going through the interior myself afterward. One side of the towel he gave me was literally black by the time I finished cleaning the areas that had been missed. What makes this especially disappointing is the price. I normally pay around $190-$215 for interior details and have received more thorough work. I paid $300 expecting the higher price to come with a more meticulous job, and instead I spent my own time finishing a substantial amount of the cleaning. I contacted him privately before leaving this review and sent photos of the issues. To his credit, he was apologetic and offered to come back and redo the missed areas, along with an exterior wash, wax, clay bar, rims, and tires at no additional charge. I do appreciate that he offered to try to make things right, which is why I'm giving 2 stars rather than 1 but I can't trust someone with the exterior when the interior was treated this way. However, after seeing how much of the interior had been missed, I simply wasn't comfortable having additional work done on the car. Since I had already cleaned the missed areas myself, I asked whether we could instead work something out on the $300 I paid. A partial refund was not offered. I'm including photos because I think they show the condition of the vehicle after the service better than I can describe it. For $300, this was nowhere near the level of interior detail I expected.
