If there were any better choices I would lower it to 3 stars and here is why: 1) It's too dry. Dry foam, dry brushes. Dirt/sand/dust is rubbed off rather than rinsed off, which isn't good for the paint. More water flow would be a nice touch. 2) Sometimes you don't get what you pay for. If you paid for "Best" with an upgrade and the sign at the exit shows you "Clean," here's what you do: ALAWAYS PRINT THE RECEIPT at the pay station. Drive around the building right into the wash again, at the station select "Pay at the Wash," show your receipt and request the correct wash. Get what you paid for. (I was told you can go through as many times as you like on the same day). As this happened to me more than once even on non-busy days, I'm a little suspicious as to why... I'm sure most people don't print the receipt, wouldn't notice or bother. Spaced out kids running the show or easy cost cutting?

I've been to a few brown bears over the years and some are very good. I can't say this about todays visit. Back to hand washing it myself.

This service is a complete joke…read more I got my car detailed by Chad, last year and he did a piss poor job. It also took forever for them to correct the mistake because their policy was that I can only take the car back to the person who messed up the service to have it fixed. Chad was booked out for weeks so I had to wait for them to fit me in the schedule. I'm just now leaving a review because it was my first time getting my car detailed at the time and I didn't know any better. I didn't know what it meant (they basically shampoo your car) or how much it should cost at the time. Looking back, I feel like I got completely scammed. I now have more experience with other car detailers like WashLB (mobile detailer in Seattle) and two other car washes in LA (I moved) to say this Mr. Detail location in the Fairmont garage is a complete joke. I only paid for an interior detail because I go to the Costco Car wash for $8 to get the outside cleaned. I only booked for interior and it STILL cost me something stupid like $235 for a Tesla Model 3. I think there was a pet hair add on. They ask you to add tip before you pick up the car so I tipped $45, like a dummy, only to drive away with a still dirty car. They work out of a dimly lit garage with barely any light so they probably cannot see all the dirt. When I drove my car into the sun, all the dust and stuff they missed were immediately apparent. It was a waste of time and money because each time I dropped the car off I had to Uber or walk home! I was out my car for 3 hours each time while I waited. Later I hired WashLB who came to my apartment's garage and would wipe down my car with a bucket of water and rags I guess and vacuums. They also did not have strong sun light to show all the dirt but they did a good job for only $77 (before tip) for both interior and exterior. I didn't have to go anywhere, they came to my garage. Moving to LA, the detail places here are also $70-$150 for both interior and exterior. All these cheaper places did a much better job and didn't make me wait 2+ weeks to bring the car back to get their mistake fixed. This business is totally absurd, a waste of time and money. Please look at the photos and see for yourself.

Being a drive-through type, it is not as thorough as one would hope. But for $8, it is a bargain! We will gladly have a carwash when we are in the area. The hours are slightly different than both the store and the gas station. Do double check before going. The cost can be pre-paid when getting gas or pay via the mini dedicated payment machine before entering the car wash. At least one person stays at the entry point to remind folks to put the car into neutral. All in all, it was easy, inexpensive, and did a perfectly good job on a dirty car. Thanks, Costco!

He is surprisingly knowledgeable, intelligent, respectful, polite, well brought up and an excellent communicator.

I brought in my well-kept sedan for an exterior detail quote and received a reasonable price for what will be outstanding work. Also simultaneously my friend dropped off her 34-year-old sports car convertible Collectible for a presale beautification inside and out.

My car is always dirty and I am too lazy to wash it myself. This location happens to be convenient…read moreto places I go regularly. I love that they are open 24 hours and it is all automated, with credit cards accepted at the kiosk. I always go early in the morning and there is never any wait. I like not having to deal with employees or any upsell. It's easy for me to drive in and out without assistance. It is completed relatively fast and has drying at the end. I hadn't been in a minute and went again recently and found that the prices were much higher. I think this will keep me from returning in the future. I understand that prices are increasing everywhere, but I really think a car wash should be more affordable. If my car came out perfectly clean I guess I would be okay with it, but even the cheapest option is not very reasonable. Because this is automated my car only comes out slightly cleaner than when it went in, I get that a car wash machine can only do so much, but for the price now I would really want it cleaner or I will just have to wash it again really soon. I think I will explore other options, but this is still a good option in a pinch.

In short My truck is way cleaner. 95% cheaper than having it…read moredetailed. My truck also needs a new rear-view mirror. Hopefully that's about 50% cheaper than having it detailed. In long It's kind of an odd little lot behind the tire place next to Fred Meyer, but it's a good use of space. 3 lanes, all occupied while I was there. The other 2 rigs looked shiny clean as they left. The pay stations have bollards around them that have clearly been hit by people pulling in, leaning over from the impact, lots of cracks and tape on the pay stations. But they worked well enough. Easy to pick the wash you want and how you want to pay. You can tap the card, which saves reaching over. DO park as close as you can though. You have a lot of pressing and tapping to do and you don't wanna be hanging out your window any farther than you have to. I got the ultimate or deluxe or whatever. $19. Way cheaper than having it detailed, no bout adoubt it. You center your rig, pull in, and wait for the big robot arch thing to jump into motion. Big whirling long-bristled brushes. You get the rainbow soap and some sort of basic wax job. On one pass next to the truck, the brushes were really going, and they kinda go by camera to see how far they are from your rig. Got a little too close, going too hard. The rear-view mirror on the driver's side slammed back against the body hard enough to break all the mounting clips in it. Can't get it back on for love nor money. Gotta get a new one. I'm sure they would tell me it's my fault for leaving the mirrors out and not folding them back against the body, which, admittedly, would have kept this from happening. But I've been through brush car washes dozens of times and never even had the mirror move, much less BREAK. Ah, well. On to the mechanic later this week for a new one.
