Excellent service-particularly on the outside of my car!!! Always come out with a sparkling, clean car! These guys work so very hard, and I'm always very satisfied and happy driving away! Wonderful workers! A friend initially recommended Cruz Car Wash to me and now I go here every time. read more

The last two times I've been here the kid with the braces and piercings doesn't show you a menu. He just tells you a price. I ended up getting a car wash He just told me $33. I paid it. There was about five guys in my car cleaning it. My thought was this is great. Five guys man my car is gonna look amazing , NOPE left a $15 tip drove away to realize that it looked terrible. It didn't look like they did anything so I ended up going to splash going through their car wash and then using their towels and vacuum to clean my car. For $33 I would've expected a little bit more very disappointed will not be back! read more

I've been going to Cruz for years but their attention to detail has really gone downhill. They clean the interior and then I clean the areas they missed in their parking lot. Today was my final visit...I paid extra to have my front mat (rubber) cleaned and they never took it out of the car, just squirted it down and whipped it off. It was a dirty/wet mess. I asked them to redo it and he did the same thing. I followed-up by cleaning it with a wet wipe, along with the smudges on my door and seats. Just to clarify, I was the only car there so they weren't in any rush to clean other cars. Just slackers! read more

I hate leaving a bad review especially on a business that I have frequently visited over the years. But after today's visit this will be my last. Driving up to get my car washed today at 8:30AM seeing their lot completely empty. 3 workers sitting down near the Cruz sign and everyone else I saw seems unhappy being there. I was going to spend the money to get the inside and outside done but I could already tell I would be wasting my money. The last time I did it here my car still had dirt on it. And I also noticed one of the employees had their car parked near the entrance to the wash displaying their side job mobile car detailing info. I don't know if a new owner took over but I feel bad for the regular long term employees who I see there. They look unhappy. What happened to the busiest car wash in town?!? I'm better off going to a drive thru gas station car wash now. I'm sad. Whoever the owner is needs to do something to take care of their employees and maybe offer some lower prices or I can see this place closing up soon. My one star is for the owner of Cruz, not the employees. read more

Probably the worst car wash experience I've experienced. Arrived 30 min before closing today (Sunday) and they tell me they're not doing interior because they already sent the guys home. Frustrating considering I could have driven somewhere else that was open if I had known they would only be half open. Fine, I go for the exterior wash only. Probably the laziest job possible, cobwebs, dirt, not even an attempt at hitting the wheels. I paid for the full exterior and got a gas station wash at best. Rough look guys! read more

Employees are short with you. I get they are trying to be "speedy", but customer service needs work. You know what else needs work -- car detailing that I paid $40 for, and how is there still bird poop on the car?... it looks as if I never got a wash in the first place. Gas stations drive thru's have done better! read more

My mom took her Mercedes there a few months ago to get cleaned only to find literally three things broken in the car. The back parking sensor is completely broken glove box completely broken passenger mirror literally fell off of the roof of the car. The manager there gave me the owners cards and I've been trying to contact them. I talked to Bhavesh Patel and told me to go get an estimate and that they're gonna take care of it not to go through insurance as it is going to be more expensive. Went and got the estimate tried to treat this very professionally as he was responsive at the beginning. Now after so many failed attempts, I cannot reach the owner. Sent him an estimate. Told him to talk about it. Try to discuss it with them no response at all. I hope they get back to me and actually fix the damages that they did to my mom's expensive car that we had for years with no damage damages. Talking to a few friends of mine it seems like it wasn't the first time. My friend took her brand new car there to get cleaned and someone who drove it also hit the door from the passenger side and she had to take care of it herself. I wasn't gonna write a review Especially a bad one, but They're not even taking the time to talk to me and even attempt to find a solution to that damages that their own Employees have caused read more

Paid 36 plus tip for interior exterior wash. It looked like all they did for the interior was vacuum, and badly. Didn't wipe surfaces. There were still crumbs and dog hair in the gearshift and center console, gum wrappers and crumbs still on the floor. Exterior: I paid for a wax, but when I got home there was still bird poop and dead bugs all over the grill and hood and roof and side view mirrors. They left my wipers on so when I started up they smeared the bugs still left on the windshield. This is a joke of a car wash, you can get the same wash for $13 at the shell station on 41st. read more

I would give it zero stars if i could. They don't do quality work. They don't thoroughly vacuum... windows are still dirty and, and if they damage your vehicle , they don't take responsibility for it. Don't take your vehicle here if you want a good job. read more

They advertise a wash and wax and interior deluxe for 43.00. The car came out with unvaccumed carpets and interior surfaces not wiped down. The exterior had water spots because they had let it sit in the sun. It also had dirt on all the sides. They used to brush the car before it entered the wash tunnel now they don't. When I inquired of Allen the manager he said they don't actually wax cars anymore they just spray a chemical on the car in the wash tunnel. It is not UV protectant so your clear coat will be damaged. When I asked Allen he said it was to upsell the wash price. I found his honesty refreshing. read more

I wanted to get my car detailed before I sold it but it was $300 everywhere else. I decided to give this place a try and for $50, they cleaned my car like it was detailed! Highly recommend! read more

I was able to get my car washed and cleaned everything in less an hour so that's amazing. I got a Groupon with a great deal and actually pretty good service too. I'm really pleasantly happy with my selection. I would definitely recommend to come here. read more

I have been using car wash for years. Today was the first significantly bad experience that I had was with a guy named I am a monthly customer and last week I had an accident. So my son brought my car instead of me. sticker on the window that was placed there by car, but they didn't see it and charged my son cash. He didn't know the sticker was explained the situation and simply ask them if they could give me a free wax, and this idiot literally said if I give it to you, I would have to give it to everybody. I mentioned to him that I am a long-term customer and he said because of fairness he just can't so I am complaining because this is ridiculous and he hasn't got a brains to treat customers the way the owners would. This guy should be removed from customer service. read more

I order their 3x wax package with inside and outside. They were fast under 30 min. But when I went to my car no one was around it and I noticed a bunch of scratches. I will never be back here now I have to spend more money to get this buffed out. Very disappointed. I do not recommend to anyone that cares about their car paint. read more

I was actually recommended to this place by my sister who really likes the service here. I paid for the most expensive package and got the bare minimum of effort. I came back and explained what issues I had and the young man Eddie was so understanding and kind. None of the people who cleaned my car the first time around wanted to help clean it out the second time, but Eddie did. He was the only one cleaning my car and for that one good employee I'm going to give five stars. I'll likely not come back but I'm grateful for Eddie and the fact that he made things right. Do better Cruz Car Wash. read more

I went here once 6ish months ago for interior/ exterior, when I got home I found that one of the guys had stepped on my back seat and left a greasy/muddy boot print. I just let it go and started going to whalers instead until my friend insisted that cruz was the best and I should go back there. I went today and my exterior looks and feels no better than after driving through the shell station wash. Interior is vacuumed without attention to detail and my dash/ steering wheel were not even touched. I tip automatically when I get services like this because I just think it's right, but I should have inspected the work done before tipping this time because now I've dropped about 60$ (I tipped 15) on two separate occasions just to have to clean it myself afterwards. Their prices aren't super steep, but they are higher than whalers and don't do as good of a job. read more

I would rate zero if I could. They barely vacuumed and rugs were dirty , the console was barely wiped down and visible stuff on it, they didn't wipe seats and dirty, The windows had dirt inside and out . The car didn't even smell clean. . I don't think they used wax at all because dirt sticks to car . The attendant was helpful at all and gave excuses . I paid $36 dollars and was so disappointed. read more

Great customer service! I was able to get a full interior and exterior cleaning for a great price.

I went for a full service car wash and I wasn't satisfied at all. Poor attention to detail and it seemed that they just washed the exterior of my car. Stay away from this business. read more

Full service car wash for $43 plus $6 tip, exterior OK mostly done by machine, but the hood did not get wiped down properly when drying. When I pulled up for vacuum/interior, I told the guy with the vacuum it may be easier to take the rubber mats out to shake them. He said, "No, not necessary." I said, ok as long as he could get the sand off and underneath. He responded nonchalantly that not all sand can come off. (I spoke to the supervisor about him in the office while I waited to be called) It looked like he did not even try! The other two guys (who I then tipped individually) came back to help with the inside after that one had walked away and they did vacuum below the rubber mat, only one rubber mat got wiped down, but still lots of sand on the mats that could've been shaken or wiped? (except the far back looked good). Side of seats not vacuumed nor near seatbelt. Dashboard probably the only thing wiped down, because the cup holders, arms, vents had dirt and some hair on/inside them. Mind you, $49 for a half-ass job. No wonder they are now advertising so much on Groupon. read more

They did a great job and were thorough in cleaning the first time I came. The second time with a different car, however, a lot was lacking in the vacuum and they did the job way way too quickly and it was suspicious. I noticed several spots hadn't even been cleaned and immeriately came back to ask for a redo of the vacuum only to find that had also been done half-heartedly. Poor quality. Wouldn't recommend a place that leaves this sort of trash (see pic below) after "cleaning" TWICE. read more

Had my truck washed at Cruz, they were not busy however they must've been very shorthanded. I have a black truck by the time somebody finally got to dry it off. It was already dry with water spots everywhere. The guys did a lousy job of cleaning inside and out and trying to clean up the water spots. Very poor service today. read more

I got the most expensive car wash they offer ($40). The outside looked fine, but the inside was terrible. It looked like they didn't even touch the inside. Admittedly, the car was dirty. But I would rather them say something to acknowledge the car was dirtier than they could clean when they "finished" and handed me the keys, rather than letting me tip them over 20% and walk off with a dirty car. I definitely feel like basic wash is the same as their most expensive wash. If you go here, don't waste your money and get the basic wash. read more

THIS COMPANY WILL DAMAGE YOUR CAR AND REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT, EVEN AFER ADMITTING FAULT!!! This happened to us TWICE. We brought our Kia Telluride in last month, (5/18/22). The workers sprayed a chemical they call "bug spray" on the front of our car and the sides/windows. Immediately after we pulling away from the car wash, we noticed a "spray" like pattern on our window trim that had eaten away the black paint. We drove straight back to Cruz Car wash, where the manager of the day reviewed their video tapes and ADMITTED that their employee sprayed the chemical onto our car and FAILED to wash it off in time, resulting in the damage to our car. He signed a paper stating the incident that occurred and told us to have an estimate done for the damage and turn it in to them. We did just that approximately 1 week later. The manager at that time was very understanding, and even asked if he could bring the employee over so he could see what can happen if they do not rinse the spray off in time. This interaction was very professional and cordial. We understand that accidents happen, and were happy to remain customers, if they paid for the damage their company caused to our car. It's been radio silence since then, not a peep from Cruz Car Wash. Today, we returned to have our car washed and to follow up regarding the damage. The manager of the day today told us the estimate we submitted was "doubled up" and "way too expensive" for "just plastic". He told us he would have the original manager follow up with us in "a couple days". We left annoyed, but still willing to give them time to resolve this issue. When we returned home (about a 4-5 minute drive), I noticed the SAME damage in the SAME splash pattern to the OTHER side of our window trim. We returned AGAIN to show the damage that occurred. The manager this time refused to meet with us (even though he had met with us when we were just in there bringing our car through). He sent a different worker out to talk to my husband told him to submit a claim through our insurance and gave him a business card. Needless to say, they have run out of second chances with us. We cancelled all of our unlimited packages and will never be returning. I STRONGLY encourage you to do the same. read more

Look this has been my go to place for many many years because it's fast and friendly,sadly over the years the service has gotten worse ( missed dust spots on the dash board and other random wiped down spots missed) but they have always been friendly. Couple weeks ago they did not clean inside front window and completely missed half of the dashboard, when they were "done " they just walked away never waved me down they were done . I drove away and noticed I couldn't see out of my dirty window. I drove back, politely ask is window and dashboard part of the service? They said ya swing around and we will take care of it . Well they did but once again when done they just walked away and said nothing, or waved me down that it was done . Well I'm done and will not come back . It is really to bad and sad . read more

I took my car there and bouggt the top of the line wash and detail because my car needed it. They lost yhe keys to my car first of all, that took a week to fix and $418 for a new chipped car key never mind my house and other keys on the key ring. I had to ask one of the cleaners and then the manager to go over my car again because inside the doors were not cleaned at all, there was dirt still on yhe bumper and they missed vacuuming the back carpet. It was a shit show. They never offered a refund or even a free car wash. Ill never go back. read more

Cruz Car Wash - Don't go to this place. Read the reviews!! Bad history of being bad business owner!! - Car Wash Near Me - Soquel, California

Extremely disappointed on this Car Wash. I have been here before and its been okay. This time I went was been beyond worse in history. When We paid we especially ask for a wipe down on everything needless to say nothing was wiped they only wiped down the screen and left marks and the center counsel was still a mess and the doors were not wiped at all or seats when we had especially asked for that. When my husband asked our cleaning guy he rudely said that cost $10 which I would have not mind paying if it wasn't for his attitude also they should have informed us when we paid for our service. read more

The car was clean, but the staff here were not professional. Well I pull up to the wash machine part , heads up I will be translating comments I heard after I write down the original phrases. Well the man at the beginning of the machine tells me to pull up, places me to close the the car in front, and then blames me for not putting the car in neutral. He says " párate a la verga" stop to the . Then he says "regrésate a la verga" reverse to the . 1. You don't talk to the hand that feeds you like that ie the customers. 2. You think there's no Latinos around here? Y'all think I'm stupid? Me ves la cara de pendejo? I'm not coming back here read more

After 2 weeks of transporting boxes, bins, clothes, toys, and a lot of ingredients and kitchen appliances, I was due to have my car cleared; because the forecast predicted rain, I only went w/ the vacuum which totaled up to $8. I did not see the price for just the vacuum but paying to get it done is a lot better than converting $1.50 to quarters and doing it yourself. I have had bad luck w/ gas station vacuums lately. It wasn't busy around 9AM but there were quite a few early birds on a Saturday. Two guys worked on my car and when it was done, I noticed a few crumbs left in the backseat but it was quickly remedied. Friendly and fast. read more
