    The Salvadoran spot in gas station next door
    Sara C.

    Very thorough detailing. The owner Elmer takes great pride and is very friendly. This place is tricky to find, tucked behind an Exxon Mobil station. Note that wait times are long and there is no indoor seating. So be prepared. I strolled through the neighboring halal grocery market and grabbed some Salvadoran food inside the grungy gas station next door.

    I would give this place 4.5 stars if I could. Back story.. washing my car has been on my to do list every since I go it.. almost 10 months ago..I know I know, I'm the worst!! BUT I'm so glad that I found this place. Which actually brings me to my first point..when trying to find this place I never actually saw a sign, but if you pull into the Exxon gas station to the right you'll see a bunch of shiny cars and hard workers cleaning them down. Not sure if I just got lucky but I only had to wait 45 Mins max versus the 2 hours other reviewers reported, for reference I came around 3:30 pm on a Friday afternoon..maybe everyone's hiding because it's Friday the 13th ‍‍ As soon as I pulled in the owner introduced himself and said he's do his best to get me out quickly and he did!There's a small seating area outside, 5 chairs with a large fan. Normally I would not enjoy sitting outside in 100 degree weather but the sitting area is perfectly located between the fan and the rare breeze that Texas has to offer and makes for quite a comfortable sitting area. But don't expect anything like your car dealership. On to the car wash- it is very clear that everyone at this establishment is working away vigorously at cleaning cars to a sparkle. They are thorough and meticulous and my car was legitimately shining..I can't believe I waited this long to bring my car here! I will say they missed a few spots inside the car..but the owner instantly noted them and cleaned them himself. When I got home I noticed some more spots on the outside of the car that I was able to rub off with my finger, so not sure how they were missed. I'm 100% sure if I had noticed them earlier the owner would have fixed all the spots. All in all for $20 this place is amazing! If you're looking for great, local service you need to come here. Being able to find local gems like this is why I love being a yelper. I would say the way that they could improve is by doing a double check of the outside and inside of cars by the employees to make sure they don't miss any spots. As stated earlier I found a few spots on my car that could have been cleaned a little better but I would 100% come back. Also the owner does double checks on the cars and I'm sure if you were to find a spot he would fix it right away! I'll definitely be back..but promise I won't wait another 10 months to wash my car.

    Stopped by this morning and it was already pretty busy. I wasn't sure if I wanted wait, but Elmer says they just opened another location, its about 15 minutes away and it wasn't busy. I went and I'm glad I did. It was worth it. The guys there did a super job and they were very nice. By the time they were done, cars were rolling in. I would go again. New location: 12789 Bellaire Blvd Houston TX 77072

    This is...let me repeat....THIS IS THE BEST CARWASH IVE BEEN TO IN HOUSTON! The amount of detail they put into my wash was astounding! I have to go to war with most car washers because they barely clean the inside of my car. But this place wiped my seats down, cleaned AND SHINED my mats, cleaned my console!! Okay....you hear me?? I mean my car looked brand new. I found absolutely nothing that they had missed and thats never happened!! Never been so happy about my car being washed. Im MOST DEFINITELY going back. Probably once a week!!!

    I've been meaning to write this for a couple months now & just getting to it but I LOVE THIS PLACE. I have a Tundra & it's a bit lifted so when I got it I didn't want to take it to a regular car wash where you have to stick it with a machine so I decided to look for a hand car wash place close to home & I found this place! What I love: - the owner himself is there washing cars - staff has been friendly & they all work very hard - I'm a girl who wears lots of makeup & since the very first time I took it & told them to make sure to get those spots, & I haven't had to tell them again. They remember every time & they're gone when I get back in. - stays shiny inside & out for a while after. Only dislikes I can find: - the wait. This place is good & prices are even better so it's expected that they'll have tons of business. I'm lucky enough to be able to leave my truck for a few hours but most can't & they have enough staff to keep it going all day long. - everything becomes a little slippery ( but it's not really a dislike. I'm actually okay with that because I know it's clean) Hope that helps!

    Outstanding job with reasonable pricing. The attention to detail is like no other. Been to 7 car washers in Houston and Sugar Land based on good reviews, paid alot more and got much less quality in other places. The owner of this place is hands on and checks each car before allowing it to be called done. The place doesn't look much, but don't let that turn you off, these guys are definitely the best I've been to so far. I am not going to look anymore, this is where I'm taking my car from now on.

    See all

    Elmer was super friendly and was able to get the cigarette smell out of my girlfriends car for a very reasonable price.

    My Ford Edge was living on the edge with how dirty it was. Over the weekend I had taken a trip to…read moreEast Texas and lets just say... that red clay was everywhere. My tires were even looking red. So, I put out the word on Yelp that I was looking for a mobile car washer since making it to someone during work hours is darn near impossible for me. A few car wash businesses replied, but for some reason Derek's stood out. So, I thought... let me give them a shot. Let's see what they are made of. I knew that it was going to be a chore to get that red clay off of my car. After going back and forth a few times with all the details, I met Derek's Mobile Car Wash at my apartment during my lunch break. Since I had to get back to work ASAP, I left my car in their hands and headed back. I did feel kind of weird leaving my keys and my car with total strangers, but it really needed to be cleaned. Inside and out. Some time passed and then I get the phone call... you know the one where they tell you that your car is cleaned. I didn't have super high hopes because they cleaned my car without an outside water source or electricity. They were nice enough to bring my car up to the office for me so that I didn't have to take an Uber back home to get it. When I was waking up to my car I was in total shock. The car looked brand new on the outside. Like it had just came off the showroom floor. It looked GREAT! But I was thinking there's NO WAY that they got the inside as clean. NO WAY!!! I couldn't wait to open the doors and check it out. Once again, I was in total shock. It looked like it had never even been driven. It was so clean you could eat off the seats. It also smelled GREAT! The job that they did was OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend this small local business for all your car wash needs. The are prompt and very professional. I will be using them from now on when my car needs a bath.

    Victor did an excellent job. I especially like that he confirmed with me when I made the…read moreappointment and a day before he was suppose to come. My truck hasn't been cleaned since last year. I tried others with terrible results. But Victor made my truck look like it came from a showroom from a dealership.
