Took my little Nissan Leaf in there today after reading reviews here on Yelp! People weren't kidding that these guys did a great job. Very, very thorough and I was honestly shocked at how little they charge. Even after I gave a sizable tip to the guy who did the work, it was still less than I expected to pay. If I were you, I'd expect to tip the guy who did the work at least $20. Don't be a tightwad. Show some appreciation for the very excellent work done on your car. Keep in mind is that this isn't a quickie operation. This one guy worked on my car steady for nearly 2 hours! Worth every penny. I've been to other car washes that are assembly line operations, where the car gets moved along from wash team to wax team to vacuum team. Quick and sloppy. The car gets cleaned, but the wax job isn't very good and the vacuum work misses a lot. The work done on my car was everything I could have hoped for. I'll be bringing my other car over as soon as I get a chance. read more

I've been looking for a great hand car wash in Oakland and have definitely found it! I pulled up on a cloudy day, saw no signs the car wash was open. I stopped anyway. A guy comes out and I ask if they're closed. He says "yes, it looks like rain and we didn't think we would have any business...I'm the owner". I turn to walk away and he says "wait, I don't want to lose your business. I'll wash your car myself". I stayed, received an excellent car wash and had pretty good nachos from the food truck that occupies the same lot. Also while I was there, 3 other people decided to risk getting a car wash on a cloudy day. Thanks Les!! read more

I painted this car myself back in 1993. It day for sever year and I hadn't waxed it in over 15 years. Outdoor car and even though I always have it covered, the paint was super dull and lifeless. Les clay bar waxed up my car, himself. The photos tell the story, he did a fantastic job! read more

My wife and I moved into the neighborhood a couple of months ago and this spot was one of the first businesses to catch my eye with the artwork on their building and shiny cars out on their lot. I finally got around to pulling my dirty & dusty old wagon in and was immediately met by Les, the owner, who was very friendly and helpful. I explained what I was looking for and was given a fair and flat price - no hassle or up sells. When I arrived to pick up an hour later I was given a thorough walkthrough of what was done by Les and "Country". My interactions were quick and straight to business with a clear focus on customer service. I'm thrilled to have found such a quality car wash spot in the Fruitvale neighborhood. Les Problems made my ten year old wagon look brand new! read more

They have a little seating area if you need to wait. What beats a liquor store and burrito truck right infront? Go get your car wash! read more

The nicest staff, THE best car wash. The gentleman that took care of my car asked me to look inside to make sure it was clean enough before I left. Seriously!! So great. There was a giant pile of broken glass from anothe cars broken window, but they vacuumed it up before I drove away. It was ladies day, so I got a rose. They vacuumed out dog hair for about 30 minutes...I paid $55, and that price wasn't clear before they started, but it was worth every cent. Excellent job!!! read more

Love coming to this car wash! They always do a good job on my car treating it with care plus the prices here are a steal. Les Problems has definitely become my favorite go to car wash in Oakland. read more

Best carwash in the Bay Area. Excellent customer service. Drove up from Santa Clara and checked yelp, so Glad I Did! Brought my Benz in, which was filthy, and they made my baby look and feel brand new. They can take a little long, because they are so efficient, so just let them know if your running short on time. HONESTLY ID DRIVE AN HOUR JUST TO COME BACK FOR SUCH A GREAT CAR WASH. All the customers waiting for there cars, all confirmed that they were returning customers and were all very satisfied with their services. $35 for a wax a read more

I was going to give it another try. But the owner, Les, is im my inbox feeling some kind of way about my original review. Instead of taking the constructive criticism, he got an attitude. Told me I was looking for a reason to write a bad review. Like he wasn't the one who dropped the ball on a new customer. Grow up Les. That review was something to take and grow from. Not pout like a little bitch. read more

While visiting my daughter and her boyfriend in Oakland last weekend, we found this new car wash/detail. The guys were SO nice and they did the most impeccable job on the car! It was very hot, but the have a shaded waiting area and gave us complimentary bottles of water. This is a very thorough and detail oriented business, so don't expect a 15 minute in and out job! Thanks, guys...I hope you make a great success if this! read more

Omggggggg I've never had my car look sooooo good and brand new just the way I felt when I first drove it off the lot. Talk about quality work! This is one of best details/wash that I've had since I bought my car 2 years ago. Les pays attention to detail when taking care of your car. He shows passion in his work and no matter the time it takes, he wants to make sure that he gets every inch of your car clean. I will never choose another detailer. Efficient, attentive and the best work I've seen. It's not rushed at all, you can really tell he takes pride in his work! Thanks a billion times over! read more

My daughter and I had been to another car wash that charged a lot more to get out the stains from our old Rav 4's seats. But the other car wash was unsuccessful! Les' crew- Dave cleaned the interior of my SUV, were absolutely professional and got the job done, including a rose on the dashboard. Special Ladies Day on Wednesday- champagne, a rose and a discount. I love that they have a mural encouraging kids to do well in school! My daughter and I will definitely be back and highly recommend this service (inside and outside detail!) to anybody that needs a top notch car wash! Thanks Les, Dave, and Sweets! Oh and I forgot to pick up my car- Les offered to meet me back at the carwash after hours so that I could pick up. I ended up going back the next day to pay and pick up my key- he was gracious about the delay. Reasonable price for quality work! Friendly service. read more

Being a meticulous person I needed the type of service and people willing to accommodate. Les ensures that he understands and meets my highest expectations, listening to even the smallest requests and even in his busiest times does not let me leave until the smallest detail of dust and waterspot has been addressed. Everytime I come all the guys are amicable, thoughtful, and shows great consideration for me and my car, I am confident in their dedication. I would recommend you take your nice car here, especially on a nice day you can admire everyone else taking their nice car here, its a vibe! read more

The folks here are great! It's a bit more expensive than some other places but it's way more detail oriented! They worked so hard to get my dog hair out!! You won't find that anywhere else! I'll be back for more! read more

This place is kinda awesome. KBLX blasting on a sunny day while a quinceanera goes on across the street and the guys get the cars ready for a Saturday night, shining up the rims well. Some of these guys are artists, and their craft is detailing -- they work hard, take their time to be thorough and thoughtful, put love into it, so it can be worth a little wait. $25 for the deluxe wash & clean inside & out $35 for the wax, which needs at least an hour They're professional, pretty decent prices, I came toward the end of their day and they stayed late to finish, but best to go early so that they have time to do a good job. Sweet staff at the register. 3 benches outside to wait, with a taco truck on the lot that has pretty tasty tacos. If they spiff up their bathroom, this place will be golden. read more

Amazing hand car wash! Super friendly staff with efficiency. I've passed by this car wash many times but never had the chance to try them out. After reviewing several reviews on yelp I decided to give them a try. I was greeted by a young man and was helped right away. They wiped inside out for 25$. Amazing job. There's a taco truck right next to the wash too. I am satisfied and will recommend this to my friends and family. The new young older is friendly. He make sure you're satisfied with the results. read more

Total fail. I arrived 15 minutes before they closed. Two guys washing cars. I pull up. They keep washing cars. I get out of my car and inquire the cost. He quotes $35 for my small SUV. More than my regular place but I like going close to home when possible. I leave the keys in the car and go to sit down. He calls me back. Says they aren't taking any more cars. I ask why he didn't mention that. He replies that I only asked about the cost. Ok. I decide not to give them a second try. Guy #2 maybe decided to take my car after all. But I won't know for sure because how he attempted to communicate was with ,"HEY, HEY, HEY!" I left. read more

Amazing service, reliable and worth it!!! Quality work takes time! Weekly specials... Please contact owner read more

I've gone here twice now. It's in my old neighborhood and convenient to get to. The guys do good work. The price is really good for what you get. The shop would get five stars but they are a bit disorganized and it can be confusing who you're supposed to talk to. Overall, though, your car will leave looking great and you'll spend half as much as you would at other places. Owner is cool as fuck. Glad this spot is around. read more

Les is super nice he arranged for my mom and I to get our cars washed and waxed. They did an excellent job. David took his time on the wax job and my car after three weeks stills good great. I don't mind driving from San Ramon for ladies day Wednesday you get $5 off read more

WARNING: Do not come here for a wash if you care about your car's paint! I've been here a couple times before and it always takes them quite a while for a wash, but other than the wait I haven't had a problem, until this time. They took over an hour and a half to clean it, and then I noticed they scratched the hell out of my hood and roof. To fix the damage they caused, they tried to up-sell me on a clay-brick/wax job. Beware of this place. I'm not bringing my car back again. It would have been safer even in an automatic gas station washer. read more

Gets the job done! Cheap, fast, and cleaner than most places for the price. Their basic cleaning is about $20-$25, and it takes less than an hour on a slow day. With that being said, it's not completely spotless when I leave there. But for that price, I can't complain. I've paid for more expensive car cleaning jobs and it doesn't beat this place. I've come back to them time and time again, especially when I want something done quickly and for a cheap price. You can pay with cash or card. The people here are very friendly, and are there just to do their job - so don't expect any chit chat. Anywho, I will keep coming here to get my car cleaned! Thanks guys! read more

Love them! I recommended my friend to bring her car here on Ladies day. Her and I came here so she could get her car detailed. Babyyyy!! Les and his crew did a great job. The car was squeaky clean and shining. We tipped all the detailers who worked on the car. #BLACKOWNEDBUSINESS read more

Not busy on a Wednesday afternoon so they were able to take my car right away. What I love is that it's hand wash and took no longer than 40 mins. The gentleman managing the place and the guys cleaning the cars were pleasant and friendly. They did a good job, and definitely recommend if you're in the area and in need of a carwash. Also, can't beat the $20 price. Ladies get $5 off on Wednesdays. read more

Good hand carwash despite the long wait. When I declined their artificial deodorizer, they ended up not really wiping down the interior of the car. They are good but it's too long of a drive to get the inexpensive hand wash. read more

A fast, hardworking, honest crew works here. Got my car washed and much more... I drive by HOT BOYZ (well, it's what the sign says!) Car Wash every day I go to work. Last week, I finally decided to stop in a have my car washed. I had checked the schedule for rain (all clear), made sure it wasn't a Friday or Saturday (because they are hella busy with all The Playas cleaning up their rides for the weekend action) and went down with my new little Zenn (all-electric plug-in). The older gentleman (Daniel?) got the younger guys to start on my car right away and invited me to sit in their shaded waiting space. I was introduced to Money (what a character) and we just kinda starting shooting the shit. They asked alot of questions about my Zenn, and then we started talking about our neighborhood. Turns out Daniel grew up here and told me really interesting stories of how our neighborhood integrated in the 60's. I'm a junkie for that kind of history. He also runs a not-for-profit group that focuses on at-risk youth, teaching them job and life skills. His group is Knock Out the Violence. I'm looking into them and see if they need a math tutor on hand. By the way, Daniel answers the phone with, "East Bay Auto Detailing", not HOT BOYZ. Gee, I dunno why.... read more

Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic. Thank you Yelpers! I have been looking for a good car washing place for 2 years. Finally!!! They spent over an hour cleaning my car. It was the best detail I have had for just their basic carwash with carpets. Wed it's lady's day 12 dollars for a car wash, vacuum everything! They have senior day! I was an idiot and went to 38th st instead of 38th ave, and they were kind enough to wait for me when it was past closing. The owner was courteous informative authentic. I really felt taken care of. I am in a rush so it might sound like blabbing, but I wanted to take a moment to give these guys the 5 stars. Btw this morning after the wash yesterday, my car looked so shiny that I took my hand and wipe it over the body. My hand was still clean afterwards. They did a phenomenal job. I am definitely going back on weds! read more
