    I purchased a luxury suv and wanted a hand car wash. Although the customer service is pleasant and the facility is clean and organized the quality of the work is not commensurate with the $45.00 fee. I understand car washing is physically taxing and no wash via machine or by hand is 100% perfect. I completely expected my car to be clean. I had to walk around my car and point out dirt that was missed on the hood, bumpers and fenders. My windows were not completely cleaned. Some areas on my windows I didn't notice until I stopped at the store immediately after the car wash. Needless to say they will not get $45.00 out of me again. I will stick with the drive thru for my 2015 Kia Optima. My new car will need hand washing somewhere else. Totally not worth the cost and the $10.00 tip. Very disappointed as I had high expectations since I've been coming to this car wash for years and thru the change of ownership. I always try to support quality businesses in my community but I cannot support this service.

    Dirt that they didn't bother cleaning or vacuuming

    Extremely disappointed with the service today. I came in at 8 AM on a Tuesday and there were four employees working on my SUV, yet my trunk was not vacuumed at all and there was still dirt and stains inside the car. It honestly looked almost the same as before the wash. I've had much better experiences here in the past, so this was very disappointing and unacceptable for a paid car wash service. I've attached a video and multiple photos of the lazy work they did on my car. Disgusting and complete Laziness.

    More images of the back seats weren't that  was not cleaned.

    I so disappointed in the service I paid for.The quality of work is terrible. The service workers show little to no regard for the quality of their work. Note to self is to never go back!

    I loved that !!! They did a great job..

    Sticky soda not wiped

    This car wash has gone all the way down. I started coming here some years back because Dominguez Car Wash was no good. Now they're both horrible. I don't know which is worse between the inside cleaning and vacuuming or the outside wipe down. My car was super spotty on the hood and spots were on the doors before I drove off. The inside looked like the work of a child. My seats still had little bits of paper and tissue. My dashboard was evident of water stains. The cup holder must've been skipped altogether because it was dusty. The top was still sticky from spilled soda that I tried cleaning myself. At this point, I can do a better job washing my own car and using a regular vacuum hose from the house.

    Horrible!!! I'm new to the area and decided to come to this car wash. The staff was unfriendly and rude. They did a rush horrible job and was very overpriced. My truck was still dirty and had crumbs all over it. I paid over $35 and it had no wax or shine!!! I told the person in charge so he told a new guy to clean it and it was the same result. To make things even worst the guy put my keys on my tire and run them over! Worst experience I ever had at car wash!!! Everyone that was there was complaining about their car still not being clean!!! DONT GO TO THIS PLACE !!! Save your money also there's more pics of the horrible job

    So, I will admit. It's been at least a couple of years since I got a car wash. I will also admit it's really not my thing, not really sure why, even more so when the pandemic rolled around. And then one day, I decided to just shove all that to the side and finally get this baby cleaned! The closest car wash near home shut down - I'm sure it's COVID-19 related - and since I was running errands around this area and with lots of time to spare, perfect timing. And even more perfect when I pulled up and I was next in line. As expected, staff tried to sell me some of their products. Seriously, I just needed a regular wash, didn't really need none of that. I was in and outta there in 30 minutes max. Car looked decent, but they missed tons of spots on the wheels. I wasn't sure what the rush was, they weren't crowded or anything. But for what I paid, it was good enough. It could have been better, for sure. Will return as needed...

    Broken Vent Grill

    I paid for the Platinum Detail ($299.99) but the end result was not premium whatsoever. This was my first time getting my car detailed, so honestly, I didn't know what to expect. All I know is that I was not satisfied. 1. I noticed that my air vent grill was broken, and someone tried to put it back/hide it to make it seem like everything was okay (pictured) 2. All of my floor mats had this white residue that would not come off (pictured). Maybe they didn't neutralize whatever soap they used to clean them? 3. The cupholder crevices were still lined with gunk, maybe I am being too critical but I thought this is what a car "detail" was all about, the small stuff. Especially with the price that I paid. 4. It looked like they wiped all the plastic surfaces with a dirty rag, leaving streak marks all over the place (stereo and navigation screen). 5. On the other hand, textured surfaces were left very greasy and it appeared as if they put leather polish as their go to cleaning solution. Everything was super shiny and felt very sticky to touch/drive for at least 3 weeks. Just because it's glossy, doesn't mean that it's clean. 6. I completely emptied my car and trunk except for a jackstand handle that I kept for emergency tire changes thinking they would just leave it there. I was wrong and didn't notice that it was taken out by the time I got home (in LA). Not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. I cannot recommend this detailing service to anyone.

    My cup holder still dirty. They couldn't even wipe that down.

    Took my car through the drive through wash and it did ok, but really didn't get the dirt and grime off the wheels at all.

I've had my car detailed here in the past, etc. Today I was quoted $550 because I needed the carpet cleaned due to me spilling something. When I laughed at the manager's audacity to charge such an outrageously high price, he told me there were two general wash options: $30 and $50. I asked for my mats to be washed. Advertised was $40/4 mats. He said mine would be $80/4 mats because they "weren't rugs", even though mine are rugs. I just didn't have the energy to fight with him, and I genuinely just didn't understand what he was saying. He also added an unadvertised SUV fee of $10. For a grand total of $140. And my car is still dirty. There are dirty spots that weren't wiped clean inside the vehicle. Dirt around my windshield and back windshield. lol. He was also standing intimidatingly nearby the sweet man who delivered my car to me, watching over the transfer, so I didn't feel comfortable to share with the worker why I wasn't happy spending $155 with tip and still having a dirty vehicle. This is my local car wash. Literally can walk to it from my house. I'm sad I cannot no longer support this local business. I hope the managers get some sense in them, lower their prices, and return their service to the previous quality they once had. I may return if that happens. Otherwise, another loss for South Torrance.

I got the $20 wash and it was decent since my vehicle had been pretty dirty from the rain the last few weeks. The wheel and tire cleaners were just ok. Didn't really do much and I'll probably stick to the basic wash next time if I come back. The vacuums are strong and there's plenty of bays. They didn't give you anything like a towel or like an interior wipe with the wash, but they probably do that with the top-tier wash since I saw the wipes there. It's in the same parking lot at a gas station and donut shop. Decent wash but still searching for a quick drive thru that won't scratch the paint as bad as the plastic bristles do.

When I went back in March 2026 to ask for a refund for 3 months of continued charges, staff confirmed a cancellation note was entered but never processed. The staff member also said the owners do not give refunds and would call me to offer an exchange of service, like full detailing. They never called. No confirmation of the cancellation request both times. The staff said to try and call the credit card company to dispute the transaction because people have better luck with that. This response only affirms that multiple people must have the same issues attempting to cancel their car wash membership. This service is terrible and unethical, which is unfortunate because their car wash machine was good.
