    The tire brush "read my car wrong" and scratched the f*%k outta my car. Left the circle brush marks on my door.

    I usually use the car wash and for some reasons today it dEcided to go crazy and totally fuck up my car. I use the car wash without the brushes when I am in a hurry and today it backfired. This machine thought my door was the wheels to my car and ran the brushes spinning on my door. Now I have the brush marks on my vehicle on both sides. I reached to the guy here and he just said " oh I don't know what happened" didn't offer anything else. I asked minimum a refund since now I have to figure out a way to remove the scratches from my car.

    This if an awesome do-it-yourself place. Price in the bay starts at three bucks and then it goes up depending on how long you take. I have a lil car so i can usually get away with paying no more than $5 to wash it. The have drying and vacuum stations as well. And if you're feeling lazy, they have a decent drive thru wash here too. I think it runs $4 to $9 for the super deluxe undercarriage included type o wash. Anyhow I always come here to wash my car and I never leave here feeling ripped off.

    Bird droppings AFTER the wash. They easily wiped off.

    I just used the drive through wash at this place and it simply didn't work. The sprayers did a good job getting my car soapy and wet and the dryer almost got it dry again, but the car simply isn't much cleaner than before. The rag rollers never turned on ! For $13 one would expect to have at least a clean windshield, but no! There is still bird shit on my front bumper which wiped off easily with a tissue. I would not recommend anyone using this place.

    I have been coming here for years also, and just noticed that this facility has been upgraded considerably. First, now there are credit card readers and dollar bill eaters in each bay. So, no need to carry around a pocket full of quarters to wash your car. Next, the price has gone up. Was 2.00 to start, now its 3.00 to start. The name on the facade now says "The Auto Spa". The water pressure also is a lot higher too. This place is all self service, so there is nobody to tip, except yourself. Despite the change of name, the people who visit are still the same, the cars still the same, and the grimy sinks are still grimy.

    Love the touch free option! We need more touch free options in this city. Only thing is that I wish the timer was accurate.

    Easiest and closest location to my home. Equipment is always clean and in working order. The $25 card for $20 is a good deal.

    It's never good when you have to post an update the very next day after posting a five star view,…read morebut I feel a retraction is warranted in this case. As I mentioned previously, I'm not expecting a perfect job because the cost is reasonable, but I am expecting the interior to at least look like it was attempted to be cleaned. I would even be willing to pay a little bit more for a halfway decent job on the interior, but that's not an option that is offered. I've been here 3 or 4 times and this was the laziest I've ever had this place clean my car. I believe the attendant who was vacuuming it was the nephew of the owner. Dropping this down to 3 stars but honestly, it could be a 2 stars if it was based solely on the job that was done.

    I'm officially done coming here. My wife warned me they didn't do a great job and suggested I try…read morethe Shell station instead, but I wanted to support a local business here in Vista. Unfortunately, after giving them four chances, I have to agree -- the attention to detail just isn't there. I keep my car very clean, so there isn't much to vacuum. The one area I repeatedly asked them to focus on was the small space between the seat and the center console. It's a minor detail, but those little things matter. I'm not asking for anything unreasonable -- I'm asking them to take care of the areas I specifically point out. The exterior comes out fine, but the interior is where they lose me. It's like getting a haircut and they forget to clean up the hair around your neck afterward -- the small details are what make the customer feel taken care of. After four attempts, I feel like my car is coming back dirtier inside instead of cleaner. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this place. My advice: listen to your customers, slow down, and focus on the details. That's what keeps people coming back. Too expensive for what they do !..
