    Scrape
    Alissa-Marie C.

    UPDATE: After this review, I had my vehicle inspected by an auto body shop and they confirmed additional front-end damage beyond the visible scrape from impact, and not a shopping cart. I have filed a police report and an insurance claim so the incident can be properly investigated. I also attempted to follow up with the business to request their garagekeeper's insurance information, but I did not receive a response. ------ I had used this car wash years ago and always had a good experience, which is why I came back. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was very different. The garage was extremely crowded and hectic. I was asked to leave my keys even though it was only an exterior wash, which I understood was so the car could be moved. When I picked up my car, I noticed a long scrape with dark and white streaks on my front right bumper that was not there when I dropped it off. When I rubbed the area, dark residue came off onto my finger, which is consistent with paint or material transfer from another object. I checked my car immediately after parking and contacted the business right away. When I reached out, they told me they reviewed footage but could not let me see it. In the first message, they stated that the car was not moved, and in a later message they stated they observed it being moved into the pickup location. I asked about this inconsistency and requested that they review or confirm what happened during the ENTIRE time my car was in their care. Instead of addressing that, they told me the conversation was concluded, canceled my membership, and refused to continue communicating. They also did not respond to my request for a refund or provide their garagekeeper's insurance information. I have since filed a police report and an insurance claim so the situation can be properly investigated, including reviewing surveillance footage from the garage. I'm sharing this because of how the situation was handled --not just the damage itself, but the lack of TRANSPARENCY and refusal to engage once questions were raised.

    What wipe down?

    It's been a while since I've been to future wash. I scheduled an early appointment yesterday for The Future Wash Everything. Upon arrival I was told my car would take an hour however after 30 mins, I received a notification my car was ready. I figured since it wasn't busy when I arrived at 9:00 am, they were able to clean my car quickly. I later discovered the interior of my car looked barely touched. Guess it's partly my fault, I should have checked their work before I left. Their website describes the Future Wash Everything as "Inside, we deep clean and vacuum all areas, including the trunk and under mats, and finish with a detailed cleaning of the door jambs for a spotless car inside and out." however this is far from the truth, my car was not spotless. See photos. I am very disappointed.

    More interior smudges

    This is the 5th year I come to future wash. After one somewhat let down experience I chalked it up to a bad day. But today after my wash I'm realizing the quality of the work is going downhill. I booked the everything wash ($45 member price $80 non-member) and they quote an 1:15. After 45 min I got a text that my car was ready. I generally trust their work as I mentioned I've had little bad experiences here. When I got home I noticed there were quite obvious misses shown in the pictures. For finishing 30 minutes earlier than quoted I would have expected these obvious misses to have been cleaned properly.

    This place was a huge disappointment. For the price I paid, I was honestly hoping for better quality. You have to book online, which was ok. We got there right on time and booked for the Everything PLUS interior shine which was about $90. The job was just so.....not as meticulous as I'd hoped for. The wash outside was fine enough. However, there were obvious specks inside that were missed (in the picture). I also don't appreciate how the guy in the counter straight up asked for a tip before we even got to inspect the car. Wouldn't come back again.

    After the "cleaning"
    Tina T.

    Pretty terrible, exterior wash supposed to take an hour, they were done on 10 and it wasn't even clean, they said they couldn't get rid of the spots on my car, but after I work it home and wiped, it immediately came off, so basically they did nothing Here's how it looked after I got my car back and how it looked after I wiped it myself Basically I paid for nothing, never coming back again

    Dirty door jams
    Thimira J.

    Got the Everything (full exterior and interior) and was disappointed with the outcome. Exterior cladding is all still dirty, streaks on windows, door jams still dirty, carpet not vacuumed thoroughly enough and had to ask for tire shine. Staff was friendly, but about a $35 service that cost $65

    Had a great experience with Future Wash. I went in to the Valley Fair location a few weeks back to get my Hyundai serviced by them. Unfortunately the first appointment I had got canceled last minute due to some labor shortage - they let me know as soon as it happened and offered me a discount on service later in the week. They did an excellent job cleaning up my Hyundai and the work was done half an hour earlier than expected. Honestly, the thing was spotless afterward! I'm glad I got to see my car off after having it been cleaned by them. Can't wait to come back...expand to South San Jose, please!

    Would Model Y be considered a "regular" or "large" vehicle per pricing?

    I went today to purchase a membership and was told that Model Y is $5 extra. Is that true? Decided to look around for now.

    Is the company familiar with Teslas and some of their "unique" needs? For example certain wash chemicals can discolor the black window trim on newer Model 3/Y's, etc. Also, their paint tends to need a bit more TLC compared to other luxury vehicles.

    Hello! Great questions. To answer your main question, yes, Future Wash is well aware with Tesla cleaning needs and Maintenace. In fact, we originally launched as a company called Tesla Wash. Our chemicals are water based and eco-friendly. You’ll be… Read more

Once the wash is finished, you'll need to make an immediate right turn to enter the parking lot where the vacuum stations are located.

If the vacuum stations are full, you'll need to park on the opposite side of the parking stalls and wait for an attendant to guide you to a vacuum station once one becomes available.

Around 3 bays open in the vacuum area, you have to exit the car wash, go on the main road then go into the drive to the car wash to get to the vacuum area. Have an Hyundai Elantra, the car wash didn't wash the rear window and bumper well, had to hand wash when I got to the vacuum area. Didn't have the disinfectant and window spray at my bay but borrowed the bottles next to my bay. Plenty of clean towels at the bottom of the collection box but they are damp, thankfully they don't smell of mildew. Staff is good about picking up the used microfiber towels and refilling the bottles. Minimal scent on both. You vacuum you own floor mats at the vacuum area. I wish they had a mat cleaning machine like other car washes. You just feed it through a machine at the top and it rolls out the bottom. I want to go on Wednesday and get a buy one and get one free on the Extreme wash. That looks like a good deal. W San Carlos is a busy street, takes a while to enter and leave. Less than a mile from Hwys 87 and 280. I would use the car wash again.
