    Centrally located, convenient and reasonably priced. The car wash spot has been around for 55+year. We ordered the monthly subscription, which is a great deal for those that wash their car at least a few times a month.

    Overall good carwash. I usually go here and pay for basic wash for $10 bucks. You can definitely get add-ons if you like. If you buy $20 gift card you get free express wash. Carwash includes free vacuums. This place gets slammed before work and after work hours. Best time to go is 10am to 2pm. Otherwise here will be a line. Limited to 15 minutes at vacuum when busy. Machines accept cash and card.

    It's rare I give such reviews but this company (not just this location but even the one on Ridge) are pricks, liars, cheats and just plain dishonest folks. Purchased a buy one get one platinum wash on Sunday 7/28. Was told by the guy selling it (and also says on the code attached in the review) that I have 5 days to use the free wash at any of their locations. On Thursday 8/1, went to their Fullerton location and the code would not work. (BTW, I went on their website and both the Ridge location and the Fullerton location are on their website under 'locations' so I know it's the same company). I tried 3 times but it errored out. I spoke to a person working there who by the way was confused and asked me who issued this, etc. Then he asked me if I had gotten it at this location (Fullerton). Told him it was from the Ridge location and he said it won't work there. I pointed out to him that the receipt clearly says that it works at ALL their locations within 5 days AND the person who sold it said that too. I asked for a manager/supervisor but he kept saying nobody can help me. I'd have to go back to the Ridge location. Just disheartening that this sort of disgusting dishonesty still exists. I looked at receipt closely when I got home and see contradicting information. It says it is accepted at all locations and then the paragraph below it says only at this location (Ridge). Either way, it was sold to me as it would work at all and the fact that their receipt has this information that is false and incorrect has just left a bad taste man.

    New ridiculously high pay structure.

    I have been coming here for a very, very long time. My car is a little older, in great shape, and it gets the job done for me. (I wouldn't bring a new car here). I haven't minded paying $10 for the deluxe wash, especially when they raised it to this price from like $8. Shockingly today the same wash was increased by five dollars. That is a ridiculous increase at one time. That was a horrible move to inflict on its customers. I paid it today, but it was painful. For a little bit more, one can get it washed by hand. It is no longer a value, especially when everything is automated and they don't have a lot of staff to pay. I am so disappointed.

    $3 car wash? Sure, why not
    Francis R.

    $3 for a quick run through wash? Not bad. Best car wash you ever had? Probably not. But if you take the time to wipe down the edges and missed spots right after, can't complain too much as it does get a majority of the car cleaned off. The nice thing about this location is there's an parking section you can pull into to do this and has free vacuums in each spot. The line to get into the wash can be annoying when it get busy, but it seems to move rather swiftly. Have those towel and detailing kits ready for afterwards! But all in all not a bad value to get a quick wash and conveniently located just off the freeway exit. 'Til next time, cheers!

    Dirt can be seen on all 4 tires.
    Florin C.

    Overall, I'm happy with what I paid for. I purchased the $15 "ultimate wash" which looked great all over the car. Used the vacuums after the wash. It was definitely tight in the vacuum area parking lot. The employees there weren't too friendly, which is not a big deal but would improve the experience. The only real issue I have is with the tire cleaning. I purchased the best car wash they have which included tire cleaning. My tires weren't that dirty to begin with, but there was some mud/dirt that apparently didn't get picked up by whatever was supposed to clean the tire.

    Ask the Community - Express Car Wash

    Do they still offer an upgrade when you check in?

    I'm not seeing it anymore

    Do they have an air hose for the tires?

    Sorry, we don't have an air hose for the tires.

    How does one get the attention of an employee to use the check-in deal? I know there's an employee when you pull up to the wash and put your car into neutral...

    While pulling in the car wash hold your phone placing it outside of your driver window facing him and ready to be tapped as used to redeem the check-in deal

The core issue isn't just that there's always a line--it's that the line is chaos. There's no clear system, no active management, and no sense that anyone is responsible for keeping things orderly. Cars cut in front of each other, people inch forward aggressively to claim space, and what should be a straightforward wait turns into a stressful, almost competitive experience. I've seen more than a few tense exchanges between customers, and it completely undermines what should be a routine errand. To be fair, the staff seem young and well-intentioned. They're not disengaged or rude. But they also don't appear trained or empowered to manage the flow of traffic or address the disorder. When things back up--which is often--there's no visible effort to step in and create structure. It feels like everyone is just reacting rather than running an actual system. And then there's the wash itself, which is... fine. Not terrible, but certainly not worth the time, frustration, and unpredictability of the experience leading up to it. For a place that clearly has high demand, you'd expect a more polished operation and a better end result. What's most frustrating is that this feels fixable. A clearly defined queue, active line management, and some basic customer flow discipline would go a long way. Instead, it's left to chance--and the result is a place that feels stressful and, frankly, unpleasant to visit. There are too many other options out there to justify dealing with this level of disorganization.

Once fully stopped, I was nervous, because the equipment got a lot closer to my car than the ones I'd previous used, however that probably helped in getting all the grime off.
