    Mimi J.

    In drought conscious California you can get fined if you're caught washing your car out in your front yard and somebody decides that's a waste of water. And, let's be honest, who really has the time or energy to get out the buckets and sponges and brushes to do a thorough job on the outside of their car? And don't get me started on trying to use the vacuum cleaner I purchased to clean my home to try to effectively vacuum out my car. Instead, I do the smart thing: I pay $29.99 a month to get unlimited washes at any Cruz Thru Express location in Bakersfield. My monthly pass sticker on my windshield enables me to use a different lane than the people who pay for each individual wash. There is a sensor that scans my pass and keeps me moving faster than everybody who has to interact with the staff. I visited THIS Cruz Thru location with my mom in her Escalade. She paid for a single wash and we went through the car wash together, watching the rainbow colored soap foam bubble down her windshield. This Cruz Thru Express location, on the Southeast corner of Panama Lane & Wible Road, next to the Rite Aid, is very convenient to the 99 Freeway, which is where we headed right after the car wash. We didn't realize, till mom tried to merge into traffic, that the driver's side mirror had popped inward and was not allowing us to see the traffic. I don't know if this happens to a lot of cars at this location, or if it's because my mom has a big SUV, but you've been forewarned. Don't forget to check your mirrors before trying to drive out of the parking lot.

    Can't use unless printed

    My husband and I love Soak car wash!…read more All of their attendants speak English and they don't have a membership, so one of the reviewers posts listed here is for the wrong car wash. I love that they pre-scrub our cars getting all the bugs off. They make sure it's super clean before we drive through. My husband loves all the attachments for the vacuum, clean dry rags, etc. All the attendants are super friendly and I've never had an issue with my car not coming out clean. I normally do the "middle of the road" car wash, and will drive across town for this place!

    Easy to get to. If you're passing through Bakersfield off the Hwy 99 & your car is dirty, take the…read moreold Hwy 58 exit, go East & make that stop at Soak CarWash. Three different levels of services and pricing. I chose the top which is Sublime for $25. It did the job. Next I pulled around to hand dry & vacuum my car. I carry my own auto microfiber towels in my trunk, but I was surprised to see they offer drying towels for free. This is great service & very rare these days. It's all on the honor system so return it to the Dirty bucket when you're finished. Thank You Max for your help & great customer service. What I loved: The long crevice tool to vacuum deep between your seats. All other car washes off that tool that doesn't get in between. I spent a good 90 minutes here cleaning my car. Loved the air gum to get out all the water from the door handles, the car decals, and the spoiler. Water hides and when you drive off it shows up. Support this small business. Stop by & show them some love. Until next time, see you some more on Yelp 2026

    - Extremely Disappointed and Will Not Return…read more I had a terrible experience at this car wash and feel completely let down by their lack of accountability. During my visit, the car wash broke off the plastic on my side mirror. An employee actually found the broken piece in the tunnel, took down my information, and told me a manager would contact me soon. A month went by--nothing. I finally tracked down the manager myself. Instead of taking responsibility, she walked me out to the middle of the drive leading to the entrance, where there's a small sign with tiny lettering saying mirrors should be tucked in and that they're not responsible for any damage. The sign was partially covered by a bush and so hidden that you'd literally need to stop traffic, get out of your car, and move branches just to read it. If this is such an important warning, why isn't it at the actual entrance, clearly visible, and large enough for customers to notice? Better yet, why don't employees mention it before sending cars through? The whole situation felt like an excuse to avoid responsibility instead of a business standing behind its service. Between the damage, the lack of communication, and the misleading sign placement, this place has lost my trust completely. I'm never coming back.
