Del Rey Car Wash - washing up a bmw - Car Wash Near Me - Monterey, California

I paid for an exterior car wash. No one checked on the car or me when I drove of the wash to wipe the windows dry until I called someone over and all they did was dry my mirror and front window, When I returned home to look at the car, the hood and top of my car looked like it hadn't been cleaned! It had a black soot- like looking residual of which I had to use elbow grease to wash it off. Also, on the passenger side was a black line I can't scrub off!? Unfortunately, It looked worse than before I had it cleaned. I keep my car pretty clean so I don't know what happened. Maybe they need to clean their electronic brushes and mops. Last time for me. read more

Having driven from SoCal, the front of my car was totally encrusted with bugs. The staff used long scrub brushes to remove that difficult layer before going through the washing machines. It turned out very well! So request that to be done if you need it! read more

I been here for a long time and today I guess is one of those days when workers don't care. Paying almost 75 dollars with tip for this shit job ? Not going no more time to find a good carwash again read more

I'm not sure why other people have given this place a negative review, when I go there my car is always spotless.

My wife got me a gift card for an auto detailing for a Christmas present. I had it done yesterday. Those guys were great! Everything looks really sharp. The interior literally glistened! Highly recommended. read more

Visiting from Las Vegas and actually their prices were better than they are at home for a full service car wash... They did a great job and they did it quickly... also the woman on the front front counter was very nice I will definitely be back next time. I'm in the area. read more

Great neighborhood carwash with friendly staff. This place does a great job cleaning cars. After a long road-trip, I can count on them to get my vehicle back to new! They are super careful and handle my vehicle as if it they owned it. Highly recommend checking them out. Prices range from $12 and up! read more

The service is quick and easy. Convenient location. I get the "works" service for about $37.95 at least once a month. Is the car spotless and squeaky clean? No... but for the most part they do a good job. read more

Del Rey Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Monterey, California

they used to be pretty good, but lately they made pretty deep scratches on the display screen of my new Lexus. I am not going there again.

This is a great alternative to the El Estero Car Wash in downtown Monterey. It is larger and provides more options. It has the full service interior/exterior car wash in about 3-4 different flavors and price points ( including choice of air freshener scent... I like Vanilla, but maybe that's why I always want Ice Cream when I am driving?). But it also has a cheaper exterior wash only like at your Chevron or Shell stations, in a separate outside lane. It also has gas pumps, and a DIY area where you can do your own interior vacuuming. Of course there is the walk through auto-centric convenience store to pay the cashier, and benches outside to soak up some Del Rey Rays of sunshine as you watch the hard working men and women clean your inside windows and dash area or prep your tires with Armorall ( if you paid for it) conveniently located where Del Rey Oaks, that pizza slice community, meets Seaside and Monterey. Across from the Safeway on Canyon Del Rey. read more

I've been here a handful of times and this is my carwash of choice when I don't want to wash it myself. I prefer them over El Estero. El Estero uses this milky white cleaning substance that leaves every surface super slick. I always get The Works at $38 and leave a tip. Seems steep but they always do such a high quality job and always feels like money well spent. They get the nooks and crannies and rarely miss a spot. Maybe I'm just lucky after seeing some of the bad reviews here but I have no complaints at all. This place is almost always busy but I rarely wait here more than 15-20 minutes. Recommended! read more

The only place locally where I could find an automatic car wash that included self-serve vacuums. Price was $12. If you just need to use the vacuum, it costs $3. At Del Rey someone hand dries your car (albeit quickly) after you exit the car wash bay, which is a nice touch. There is only one row of self-serve vacuums, so I had to wait a bit for customers ahead of me to finish vacuuming. Overall, decent place to get a quick automatic car wash. read more

Great little car wash in Del Rey on Canyon Del Rey Blvd, close to Fremont. It may look like a small little place, but they pack a lot of punch into it! You can get gas, snacks/drinks and your car washed there. You have the option of an exterior express wash (where you stay in your car) for $10- or full service. They also do car detailing, when you need more than just the usual wash. The car wash includes vacuuming, exterior wash and windows cleaned inside & out. There are different packages to choose from, too. Check out their website (see link on Yelp) for more info and coupons. Open 7 days a week from 8-5. Nice staff! read more

Del Rey Car Wash - Really gross - Car Wash Near Me - Monterey, California

I like how convenient the location is along with your choice of service. Today I needed the deep cleaning inside and out for $32.95 which left my car sparkling. Other times I just need the exterior was for $12.00. I think they're a great alternative to others u hsve gone to. read more

I went in for a quick wash and I was surprised by the great treatment for a cheap wash. Pedro buffed out my car like I paid for the expensive package, and he had a great attitude. read more

This car wash used to be great, you would leave with a CLEAN car. Now it's gone down hill, the owners are very nice & i feel for them because it's the employees. I have gotten 2 car washes there this month. The first time, it took them 10 min just to get my car out of the wash, they were moving VERY slow..I waited 45 min with 1 other car, it wasn't busy AT ALL. I asked how much longer, they said 20 min I said I gotta go in 5, they mumbled in spanish & guy cleaning yelled done & was just starin at me all wierd. The front wasn't even wiped down & they left ALL there dirty green towns in the back of my car. Came back because it wasn't finished & it was worse then the first time. They rushed it this time, I looked and yet again the front wasn't even wiped down I pointed spots out they started spraying and wiping again and said " ok that's it, we tried" but they didn't.. If I can wipe off a spot off with my finger /sweatshirt then why can't they get it off ? I paid $33 for this car wash and it looked like I didn't even get it done.. I was watching the woman clean other cars & again they were softy just swiping towels & talking to each other more then working. I unfortunately won't be coming back for a while. I will call a detailer. I shouldn't have to buy armarol wipes right after a car wash & guess what .. The armarol did a better job then the 2 men working the car wash. The owners of this place need to look harder for ppl who actually wanna work .. Not just lazy employees who do a half a$$ job then wait for a tip.. Oh and they also get a attitude when you say , you missed a spot. Its unfortunate that employees like this are ruining these small businesses. I hope they can find better workers in the future. read more

They do a thorough job on the interior and exterior. Normal car wash pricing. Fast

Service Very good quality Great Value very good I recommend to anyone want their car clean. read more

Love this drive through car wash for 12 bucks ! Great deal. Hadn't washed my car in 2 years! Looks great now!

The Del Rey car wash is hit or miss in the quality of their performance depending upon who is working. Del Rey offers different packages for washes with different prices. Depending on what is picked reflects the price you will pay. You can have the interior cleaned and polished and you can also get a spray on polish and wax which is an additional cost. My last visit here cost me $45 without a tip. What really angers me is that I had some items stolen from inside of my car. I had a very expensive chamois towel that was new and still in the tube stolen. I also had a keychain with a Buddha that was stolen. When I mentioned this I was told that their employees don't steal. What a joke. Also the job was not worth the price. The attendants did a deplorable job with the interior. Another thing I don't like is that many of the staff never say Thank you when handed a tip. Talk about unappreciative. Anyways I advise anyone who reads this to make sure you have nothing of value left inside of your vehicle. Staff here have sticky fingers. read more

We waited for over an hour to get our car cleaned. I felt for the price we were taken advantage of. Our car was dried before they even started to clean it. Lots of streaks and the inside looked like it was hardly cleaned. Several people had waited for so long that they were just getting their car back and leaving. If you can't keep up with the volume then you should really limit the amount of cars that you bring through. For over 65$ and not having a clean car is super frustrating. I'll go somewhere else next time. read more

You get what you pay for. I paid $32+$5 tip. They washed the exterior, they touched up my tires, cleaned my mirrors, vacuumed, threw out my trash, wiped down the interior, and added some scent. My car looks very good and I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Sure, they didn't get through every single crack and there's some spots here and there but again I was in and out within 30 mins which is what I wanted & I simply didn't have the time to do it on my own. If you want a better job and expect perfection (or your car is too dirty) go get your car detailed for $100+ and be ready to set aside a chunk of time to drop off your car & be carless for hours (been there, done that). read more

Great place for the $9 cash self serve, self vacuum package! I am a local Realtor and need to clean/vacuum the automobile s often. The self serve is perfect, because they have a conveyer belt wash that is more extensive than most. Then, I can do a complete job of vacuuming everything inside. If I am showing clients around in the Lexus SUV, I want them comfortable. Thank you for your wonderful business! read more

We were leaving for a short trip right when I got off work. When my husband dropped me off for work, I put over 500 cash in the glove box of my car because I didn't want to take it into work. While I was at work my husband took my car and got it washed at Delray car wash and forgot the money was in the glove box. When he picked me up from work, I noticed the car was washed and asked him if he had taken the money out before, dropping it off at the car wash. He said no. I opened the glove box and counted the money, and all of it was there! read more

Always efficient drive thru with excellent cleaning. People who dry car are always efficient. They deserve decent tips as they work so hard. (No, I don't work there.). The vacuums in the self-cleaning area are always functioning well. read more

Honestly I would not even give them a one star, the last few times I have been there I have been very disappointed with the service. I traveled to SoCal via 5 freeway and there's lots of bugs. I asked them to please concentrate on getting the bugs off the grill of my vehicle , it was suggested I get the $35 wash to ensure this. I paid for the "expensive" wash and of course they expect a nice tip or they give you sideways looks. Honestly I don't know how they can charge so much and do a half ass job. I can honestly say they have lost my business. Better to spend the money on someone who will value you as a customer. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Got they did an amazing job. Mary at the pay counter was an absolute pleasure to speak with, too. I just found my go-to car wash spot!

Cheap outside car wash. No attendant was handy and when he did appear he informed us we were in the wrong area. I informed him we hadn't been there before.... The price posted for outside only is $9, he charged us $10, not sure why? Car got clean and their automatic thing you drive through didn't damage the fragile mirror on our car, which was a plus. read more

This is normally a great car wash!! But the last 2 times I went and bought "the works" their most expensive car wash. I had to go home and finish washing my car again! On both occasions, they left the back of my car dirty and left my rims with dirt on them from the car wash... And to top it all off, last time I went there I gave the lady a tip for cleaning my car and she did it even acknowledge me for tipping her. She just looked at the money (which was only $5, on top of my $40 wash) and gave me a dirty look like I didn't tip her enough... read more

This place is a joke. They charge 36$ for interior and external wash. They ask what fragrance would you like and finally they do Not clean the truck of your car... even when asked 2 times. Save your money, pathetic !!! read more

This is my filthy car after i paid $30 for a "deluxe" car wash. I asked the cashier for some money back. She flatly refused. Then a couple of guys pretended to clean the interior by randomly wiping parts of it with no cleanser. Finally i just gave up and left, went home and cleaned the interior myself. Nice job guys. read more

I paid for their best packages, "the works" and I am very disappointed. They did a very poor job of cleaning my car, there was still dirt on different spots around the exterior. And inside the car looked like it had been barely cleaned at all. There was dirt in the carpets, in the cup holders, and even on the dashboard! I was expecting my car to be cleaned very thoroughly, but I was sorely mistaken. Will not be coming back. read more

OK but I bought a brand new car and wanted to get a nice car wash, so I took it here and it cost $24. There were still some mud in between the license plate and the trunk. The worst part is, they wiped down all my interior with dirty rags. The lady inside tells me to talk to the supervisor, he says it doesn't smell like anything. So then I buy an air freshener which cost five more dollars, turn on my air and the smell of dirty nasty water fills my cabin. I can not recommend this place and will be self washing here on out. I have to now go to Kragen and spend more money on armor-all, cloths, and air fresheners. read more

Absolutely awful experience! The guy directing cars into the tunnel put my car right up onto the rail. then back me up. Then told me to go right. And told me to go straight. Then told me to go left. Then told me to go back.... It was a circus! When I put my window down to ask specifically, which direction he wanted me to go, he abruptly shoved his hand through my window, and violently started turning my steering wheel. as a woman, it was very shocking, scary and violating. No one speaks English, or speaks very little English. Super frustrating when trying to communicate with the manager in his broken English ... very chaotic front desk dynamic. Things have really gone downhill with this car wash since I started going many years ago. I will not be going back. read more

I went on a Wednesday at 12 o'clock and it Took way too long to Wash and vacuum my car. From the time I dropped my car off to pick up it was 50 minutes. My car waited for 40 minutes in the drying area before anybody touched it. I was waiting with a toddler running around. I was really disappointed. Plus they didn't do excellent at vacuuming. There were still crumbs in the cracks of the seat. I recommend going to the other one in Monterey their way better and faster. So don't come here if you're in a hurry at all. read more

Service is "hit & miss" staff seems too pressured to get to the next car and attention to detail is lost. Paying 39.00 for a premium wash and finding bug droppings on my freshly washed car, water not dried off of car completely and the interior wipe down is less than satisfactory......... The same with El Estero..... I don't feel like I should have to inspect my vehicle before leaving and then having to point out staff mistakes. Also, if a car wash staff sees that there is sap or a problem area, they should point this out so a customer can take care of it if they are not going to...... It would be really nice to see quality control especially when paying about 45.00 after tipping etc.... The ladies at checkout are always nice by the way! read more

Amazing customer service and my car looks amazing. Best place in Monterey. They were quick too I was surprised. Will be utilizing them from now on! read more

Brought my Mercedes for a $75 hand wash, which was supposed to include interior vacuuming and wiping of the interior and windows. Car was ready in 30 minutes, the mats mats were not removed or vacuumed, the exterior was ok not what I was expecting for $75. You can tell there is more emphasis in getting cars in and out rather than the job itself. Won't be coming back as my expectations were not met. read more
