Replica Dodgers World Series ring

Crash wash was excellent. Quick and clean. I want to especially thank the individual who washed my car for his honesty. He found a replica Dodgers World Series ring down in the seat that my son had lost and put it on the front and told me about it. It's really great to be able to get a excellent wash and be able to trust the employees with your belongings. Thanks Fullerton Car wash!! Amazing service!

The attendant gave me a hand wash option which took longer, but the results are fantastic very pleased with the work that the workers put in taking care of my very dirty van. Price is comparable to other places in OC so not bad.

Car looks brand new again! I took my car in to get the mini auto detail special for $170. Zack was the person who took care of me. Very nice and welcoming took a look at my cars condition before leaving it with him and then paid before leaving. They have a separate cashier office. There is plenty of places to sit couches inside and sitting outside. I opted to drop off and pick up later. Zack called when it was ready and it took about 3 hours. I don't have the before pictures but I haven't had a full detail on my car since I got it 2 years ago. So, it was definitely needed. Highly recommend I love the results already am getting compliments from Friends and family.

Bird poo, mark?

I was disappointed with the quality of the wash, especially since I paid for a hand wash and hand dry for a NEW car. There were still small dirt spots left on the car, micro-scratches, water marks, and the trunk area was not properly wiped down. I also noticed some leftover white residue around the speakers. For a hand wash, I expected the car to be more thoroughly cleaned with a soft touch and inspected before being returned...

After blood shampoo removal

I called Fullerton car wash after an emergency with my pet in the backseat that left blood everywhere. AT provided a quick verbal quote and confirmed to evaluate once he saw my car in person. 20 minutes later he took my car in and got the backseat shampooed for me. Also came with the hand car wash and vacuum all for $90. AT and his staff were awesome and super quick. I was there less than 30ish minutes!!

This is a great Car Wash and I love coming here, but their prices have gotten so high that I can't afford to come very often anymore. They do an excellent job and are so pleasant and such hard-working people that I try to support them as often as I can. You can do your own quick wash, or you can purchase from a few different levels of their washing and complete line of detailing as well. They also do oil changes and smog checks.

Originally, after my third experience wasn't great, I gave this business 2 stars. But the owner replied within hours of my review. So I'll clarify my experience as perhaps I was too harsh. You need to clearly communicate what you want and make sure you know what they're charging you. All I wanted was the oil change that came with the complementary wash and vacuum. But was instead also given a detail at 90 bucks. The work was great. The car looks amazing. Just not what I asked for or could afford. I saw the yellow paper they handed me (an estimate receipt) and under the estimate box it said $59.99. I bumped it up a star because the work here is unmatched. People are friendly. But communication lacked and I literally paid for it. So back to my original review... I came here twice blown away by their friendliness and price. I got an oil change with synthetic oil, they vacuumed my car, sent it through the wash, then they hand dried it all for $100. The third time, they charged me over $150 for regular oil and they won't wash the car. It appears you gotta talk to the right guy to get a certain price, I'm not sure. It's really unfortunate because that extra amount is a lot for my family so it was a punch in the gut being told it would cost that amount and like a fool I paid for it, not paying attention to how much they were charging me. When I asked why the amount was so much more, I got told I was actually getting a discount. 60 bucks by itself for the oil change and 90 for the vacuuming. Whaaaa? How is that right? So I don't know if I'll be back after this communication mishap. I can't afford it.

I come in once a month to get my car detailed and Zach always takes good care of me and my car. He gives me a great deal and amazing job on the detail. If you do the oil change he throws in a free car wash. Ricky is the best receptionist anyone could ask for and she's the sweetest and funniest ! When I come here I feel like I'm part of a family. Anush is very grumpy and serious. Don't ask for him.

My car getting clean!

This is not my usual car wash, but I do come here when I am pressed for time. The staff is nice and they take good care of my car. The prices are reasonable and the location is ideal, being right in the heart of Downtown Fullerton.

Hey do you guys have full hand wash? I have a bike rack and dont want to remove it to get it washed under the machine. Thank you!

They do have a full hand wash.

How long is the usual wait for a car wash on Sundays?

30 minutes

Are there any early bird specials?

What is the best time to come for an oil change or car wash to avoid a long wait?

Hard to say. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are a zoo, but that was pre-COVID. During the week isn't bad either.

Do you offer a rain check? I don't have the receipt but can I show the credit card charge?

We do have 24 hours rain check policy.

When will you guys reopen?

should be open this wed if all goes well with work, definitely by thursday

How are the prices for wash?

Well it depends on what kind of wash are we talking about, The regular hand wash begins from $16.99 for a sedan car, $18.99 for SUV’s and trucks.…

The worker admitted to do that un purpose because they want you to come back at 3k miles so they can check your car "in case you have a leak" .... mind you, they wont tell you you still have mileage to go, and you are good, NOPE, they will automatically just do an oil change. My husband had to ask them to actually write the return mileage on the sticker at 5k NOT at 3k .... BE AWARE, specially if you are a female (dont be fool by the fact that they have a female worker) THEY WILL SCAM YOU. Not sure how many people are getting oil changes when in reality they didn't need it.

I got a few quotes before deciding to bring my 2014 Prius Plug-in here, and I'm really glad I did…read more They weren't the cheapest and they weren't the most expensive, but I felt like they charged what they needed to in order to get the job done I had no idea they even worked on hybrids because I never saw that mentioned anywhere, and I think more people should know. They took the time to explain the repair, confirmed the diagnostic code, and even pointed out a few things I should do to help my Prius last longer. They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it. I'll definitely be bringing my Prius back if I ever need anything else.

I wouldn't trust them to change my oil.

Took care in for tire sensor in and out within 45 mins. Love this place. Everyone is kind and know…read moretheir stuff i highly recommend

I would NEVER recommend this shop…read more I brought my 2013 Honda Civic in because it was kicking back/hesitating while accelerating, even struggling to get onto the freeway. I paid a diagnostic fee because I wanted the problem diagnosed and repaired--not routine maintenance. The shop recommended a fuel system/injector cleaning and transmission fluid service, telling me that was the cause of my issue. I trusted their diagnosis and paid. The very next morning, my Check Emission System light came on. I returned, and they told me it was unrelated to the previous work, diagnosed a thermostat issue (P0128), and I paid for that repair too. After picking up my car the second time, the exact same acceleration problem was still happening, and while driving, the Check Emission System, Check VSA System, and Check Power Steering System warnings all came on. So after spending about $1,000 and making multiple trips back to the shop, the original problem I brought it in for still wasn't fixed. When I spoke with the manager, instead of trying to understand why I was frustrated, he became defensive, argumentative, and dismissive. He repeatedly said, "I don't understand why you're mad," asked, "Well, you said the issue was fixed, right?" (I NEVER said that), and when I explained I'd had to take multiple days off work and arrange transportation because I kept having to come back, he told me, "Having to take 3 days off is part of life. That happens when you have an older car that has issues." He also refused a refund, saying "We're not doing any work for free," and expected me to trust them with my car for a third time after they had already failed twice. Why would I pay them again when they couldn't fix the problem the first two times? I lost all confidence in the shop and took my car to an independent mechanic in Diamond Bar. He drove my car and noticed the drivability issue almost immediately. After spending several hours diagnosing and test-driving it, he found the actual problem: a faulty MAP sensor. He replaced it, and the hesitation is completely gone. He also told me the fuel system cleaning and transmission fluid service performed by Cook's were maintenance items and were not related to the problem I originally brought the car in for. I understand that diagnosing intermittent issues isn't always easy, but what I can't accept is paying around $1,000, making three trips back, being treated disrespectfully by the manager, and then having another mechanic correctly diagnose and fix the problem in a matter of hours. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. I will never return or recommend this shop.
