This place is a great way for you to get the bugs off your car after driving across the state to visit family for th holidays! The price is cheap and the service is excellent. Highly recommend this spot. read more

This is a terrible place to wash your vehicle and when I brought my car in to wash still look like shit when I came out and also they did not do a full dry down around the vehicle. After that I went to go look at the vacuum, cleaners, and see if I am able to vacuum my car and it was already out of order at that time. read more

Besides the workers having great costumer service everything you come to this kind of car was for was not satisfactory the vacuum had no pressure and didn't pick up anything and you only get one token for five minutes will not being coming again and do not come here if you want to detail your car and expect it to work read more

It was good. It was what I needed it to be. I had trouble finding a car wash spot, but this worked. I went through the machine and it was cheap so that was good. Didn't manage to scrub off the gunk on my car though, which was expected. It is what it is! read more

I prefer drive through car washes since they are the quickest and most convenient for me and I'm not concerned with getting every speck off my car. I've been on the hunt for a local one that actually cleans your car and doesn't cost too much. This was the first one I've tried in Santa Barbara. The most basic wash costs $10 which is more than I'm used to paying in other cities ($6-$7) but here's why: they have employees who stand at the entrance and exit to facilitate the wash. Before you enter, there's a person who sprays down your entire car with a high pressure hose. She actually took the time to spray down the extra dirty spots with dried on residue (bird poop, sap, etc.) that most auto washes wouldn't lift. The drive through itself only takes a few minutes. You drive up onto this track and put your car in neutral and it rolls you through. After the wash, they have another person who takes a minute to dry off your windshield, hood, and other wet spots. All of this without ever having to get out of the car! Realistically, you should tip these people a few dollars so your car wash is gonna cost more than $10. My car was clean to my liking but I'm still on the hunt for a local spot with similar results that costs a bit less. read more

Employees don't speak English! I drove in to ask how much a detail job would be on my car. The employee said "Too busy come back". I said that I just want to know the price for a detail. Again he said he was too busy and told me to make an appointment so I did. When I came back the next day they started taking everything out of my car to clean it. I asked him what are you doing I just want a price. Long story short.....No comprende! He finally showed me his phone with pricing. Sorry, no speak English no get work. read more

Horrible Horrible Horrible....save yourself time and do it yourself. They do a half a$$ job. They miss areas that a blind person can see. This area needs a NEW CARWASH SERVICE...THIS PLACE ISNT IT! read more

Wellllll. It's a convenient location. Have given the place too many chances and I kept coming back Bc it's around the corner from where I live. But. Never again. I always get the platinum wash Bc I love the tire shine. I had to ask before I left to get the tire shine brushed on. The guy acted like he was doing me the favor, bruh. I paid for it. And I watched you dry my car and tell me it was ready. Nope. Never again. The doors weren't wiped down, the front still has bug residue. Cup holders weren't even touched. I'm disappointed in myself that I spent $5 for an air freshener, whatever the platinum was cost and tip. You're better off washing your car at home. It's good exercise. read more

I want to still like this place, I really do. But it's gone rapidly downhill the past few years and seems to only get worse. I took my car to get vacuumed and cleaned (gold level) this week and they did such a half-assed job. Dirt was still on the inside of the doors ( I wiped it off easily with a towel, which tells me they didn't even bother to wipe down the doors), I had a huge sap mark still on my windshield, and my trunk was still full of sand! I don't think they even bothered to vacuum my trunk at all. I honestly don't think they care about their job at all. Waste of time and money. Such a bummer, as this place has been my go-to since I got my first car many many years ago! I'm giving two stars instead of one because the guy directing traffic was working really hard and the girl at the counter was very nice. read more

I took my car back into Fairview car wash and met Darren Who is the general manager and Eddy Who is the manager of that site. They did a re-wash on my Nissan Sentra and they both addressed our concerns, the car came out looking amazing. The rewash was the quality that I am used to getting from them and the service was friendly and efficient and I am extremely satisfied and will definitely keep coming back.It is nice to know there are businesses out there who take pride in their workmanship and really are concerned with customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them to anybody who needs her car washed read more

Pretty good job! I could've used a little personal touch on some bugs but otherwise happy with the wash!

Good car wash option, you can do a quick exterior wash for $10 which is a good deal. They do a nice job overall and are pretty quick. Friendly service too. read more

The outside of my car is fine, but the console wasn't wiped down and I am not sure the car was even vacuumed. For $24. it should've been a lot better than this. I just can't believe I tipped $5. I drove it back around to the front and asked if I got the platinum carwash- shouldn't my console be wiped down. The attendant stated they blow it. So, I asked, wiping down is not a part of the service. He said the dash was wiped down. So then, I asked isn't vacuuming a part of the service? He said yes it was. I have a little car- it should be spotless. read more

FAIRVIEW CAR WASH SUCKS !!!! I recently purchased a Mercedes SLK 350 a small two seat hard top convertible. (Small car) I took it today to Fairview, paid for a "titanium wash" $30,00 this place sucks!!!! THEY DIDN'T.... thoroughly vacuum, wipe and dry, do the dash or wheel dressing basically just drove through the machine wash. When I was called to the vehicle and pointed out how bad it was... water still beaded on the rims and tires that were supposed to be detailed and dressing, and so on... The guy replies, No habla! Never again!!! I guess they are to busy with the contract with Santa Barbara auto group sales to perform the duties that they a selling and charging for yet not doing ! FAIRVIEW CAR WASH SUCKS!!! read more

Just don't waste your time! With tips, you will end up paying 20 dollars for a wash that you would not notice. Awful and rude customer service. I will never go back!! I was trying to give zero stars! I saw the car ahead of me (a mercedez) got hit by another car, while the owner didn't know about. I bet, they didn't mention it to the owner. JUST AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

Ok I read the reviews before I came here and decided to give this place a chance. I didn't pay $16, I paid $30 + tip for the "best" car wash they had available. My car came out with scratches, mud, dirt and sludge all over it. When they said "CAR READY" I looked at him and said it's done? I was in disbelief. I mean the car literally looked like I drove it through a self car wash and dried it off myself. The inside was OK, but still no where near what it should of been for the price. I'll never be back. I'm only giving this place an extra star for the employees inside who were very friendly. Overall a horrible 45 minute experience. read more

What a piece of shit place. My car wash turned into a 2 hour wait because their machine is down, bought the highest car wash package yet not all the services are rendered. And most of all the car is still dirty! The owner should be ashamed of this business. Please others take your business elsewhere, what a piece of shit place. read more

This is a decent drive through car wash. The prices are pretty decent, however, there are always a couple spots that don't dry all the way. I never have spots left on my car and it's a quick and easy 10 minute car wash that's worth it. read more

This review is based on 5+ years of consistent repeat customer patronage. Today is my last day as their customer. Let me tell you why. Took my car here and it's safe to say the service has pretty much gone drastically down hill. For example, they replaced the friendly guy who use to sell services to you with a fellow who couldn't sell ice to an eskimo. Furthermore, this has nothing to do with the fact that he was slobbish in appearance, smelled and generally had bad odor poring from his wrinkled uniform. To complete thus honest review, my car wash sucked. Didn't wipe the dash. Didn't wipe the jams. Didn't clean the car. Im sure driving through a puddle would have had the same results. read more

Went to this car wash for the first time...I ended up having a good experience at Fairview Car wash. A few things regarding my car when they were finished were not right. Spoke to Adrianna, the managers...she corrected everything. Had a good attitude. I could see she wanted me to be happy. I shall return and hopefully change 4 stars into 5. read more

I called to make an appointment for a mini detail. I spoke to a man who said he'd have his manager give me a call back to schedule the appointment. A short time later I spoke to a very nice man who scheduled my appointment. Upon arriving I was greeted by an employee in the detail area of the car wash. He asked if I had an appointment, I said yes and gave him my name. He asked if all I was doing was a wax (my SUV is filthy after traveling 1500 last week) I told him no, I'm here for a detail. He told me it would be an hour wait. I told him I have an appt at 3 (it was 2:58pm). He said sorry, it's gonna be an hour I have to do this car first while pointing it out. I said that's not what I was told and I don't have an hour to wait. He said sorry and put his hands up. After driving off, I called the car wash 4 times in attempt to get a hold of someone and each time the phone just rang and rang. I've been coming here for years and never had any problems until today. I find this treatment not only unprofessional, but totally unacceptable. You have lost a customer. read more

This car wash is under new management. It is now called Cleanwave Carwash. I paid $15.00 that said I would get my wheels cleaned and all this about having everything added to the wash and what a joke! They don't have anyone vacuum out your car anymore and you have to do that yourself, at a cost, and after I drove through the wash only one guy wiped my windows and mirrors and nothing else. My step guards were all wet and there was no one to help dry the car. This is the only option you have, so forget that. They used to employee several guys to vacuum and dry the cars all over before!! I won't be going back there!! It is a rip off!! read more

They just don't do a thorough job. I paid for a titanium wash which is I believe $30 and they hardly touched the inside of my car. It's unacceptable, there are areas in which they didn't touch at all evidenced by the debris and dust still present. I feel like they are too focused on getting cars out versus the quality of work. $30 is not cheap so I will not be returning for low quality work. I will post pictures so everyone can see how awful their service is. read more

Easy to stop in a get the car washed and vacuumed. I like the community donation card for the schools as well.

I went to Fairview car wash wanting to get my mats washed, the attendant told me if I got the Titanium Wash ($30) that I get all 4 mats cleaned so I that's what I did. After They cleaned my car I'm told that they couldn't wash my mats because they didn't have their power washer and they rinsed them. Definitely disappointed in the service and quality of work I received. Mats were still dirty and not even rinsed like they said, back seat wasn't even vacuumed, I had crackers that were still on the floor and seats. For $30 I was expecting at least a decent job, but not even that. I ended up going home and vacuuming and washing my mats myself, what a waste of time and money. Never again Fairview car wash, no wonder you have such terrible reviews , go else where. read more

I only came here to quickly wash the exterior of my car and it was a pretty decent place. My car was really dirty because I hadn't driven or washed it in months so I was scared that not all of the dirt would be washed away since I only did a simple clean. However, I was really surprised because when my car came out it was SO CLEAN and SHINY and the wash only took about 5 minutes overall! However, it was difficult to enter the place because there's only one way to enter the car wash, so I got a little lost trying to find the entrance. Also, because this place also does detailed interior/exterior washes, when I was trying to leave I couldn't tell where I was suppose to go to exit because there were a bunch of cars in front blocking my path. Overall though, this is a pretty good place to get your car washed and it's not very expensive, it's just really easy to get confused when you enter and exit. read more

Fairview has a nice monthly pass, but that's about it. They never properly dry the car, and sometimes don't even get the soap off. Beyond that, they randomly close some days (even when the weather is fine) making it difficult to even justify getting the monthly pass. Educated car wash is a much better alternative. read more

I've given this place one too many chances, but no more. My car REALLY needed a bath, and since this place reopened, I had high hopes, but it was not to be. They do a MINIMAL job of 'cleaning', and I really do mean MINIMAL. The employees are simply paycheck employees: do the minimum you have to in order to just get the paycheck. Carpets still have stuff after 'vacuuming', bumpers ALWAYS have stuff on them and I have to ask for them to CLEAN off the bumpers, interior isn't always wiped down (white milk from toddler throwing his bottle OBVIOUSLY still on black interior door), to just name a few. I don't have time to do it myself, I will now look into a mobile service and pay a little more, but that's okay. If you see a review from someone with 5 stars, don't believe it. I'm guessing it's an employee, owner, or someone they've offered a discount to in order for a favorable review-I've seen it before in other service industries. Do yourself a favor, just keep driving...find another place to go, you'll be glad you did. read more

I recently posted a very negative review based on the way a potentially very serious situation was handled. As I started before the response from an assistant manager not the actual event is what garnered the review. Since that point, (this morning) the CFO made contact with me and listened carefully to the events as they happened. He was kind, in no way defensive, and appreciative for the input. I could not be more happy with his response. I am writing this revision to my original post to let those who read my previous review know that the situation was handled. And handled very well. I don't think the actions of one employee should tarnish the reputation of company as a whole. Thank you for listening and promising corrective action. read more

Super stoked on this place!!! It was my birthday 9 days ago and yet they still honored their free platinum wash! I just saved $25 plus they have free soft drinks and a nice shady area to hang out at while you wait. I'll be back for sure and I'll also recommend my friends! read more

Just returned from very dissapointing experience. Frequent user for last several years. They have intentionally reduced their service and quality! I spoke to a manager who said I should no longer expect my vehicle to be cleaned as in the past as they have been directed NOT to provide the former level of service associated with the 'Platinum' wash. Very poor and dissapointing service. read more

The best car wash in Santa Barbara! First off they do a great job, the prices are fair, the people are great, the location is a bit of a headache but whatever. I have the unlimited pass they offer, and can get my car washed every day if I wanted, but usually go every other. It for the most basic wash but it still comes out looking great. The staff knows me and we also talk, they'll all cool. Yes there can be a bit of a wait when they are busy. Unless your one of those a holes who go over the car with a fine tooth comb to make sure they got every last drop of water off, you'll be happy! read more

I gotta admit, I was pretty disappointed. I paid almost 25$ for a car wash and I waited for close to 20 minutes. My car had all sort of spots where they missed. The windows were streaked. There was dirt in lots of places. I had to go back on my own and clean my car after I just paid to have it done. I told the manager and all he did was give me a free coupon for a quick wash which doesnt include drying or the inside of the car. What good does that do me? They are slow. Management sucks. read more
