When you want to wash your car and just pay a few bucks, I recommend this car wash. You can use quarters and it also takes credit cards but be careful because you can lose track of time and end up paying more than you budgeted for :) Once the water sprayer at a wash station that did not have enough pressure after swiping my credit card a numbers of time, the attendant asked me to try another station and to call a number posted on their wall for refunds, which the manager was kind to refund me. Some people complain about the area and type of people hanging out by the trash can, well what do you expect? It's a public area, lol. I usually just use the water sprayer to rinse my car, then switch it to water pressure with soap, and end up with rinsing it again. I AVOID the brush because who knows what's been used on and I don't want particles scratching my car's paint. I sometimes use the dryer if I'm in a hurry. Overall, if you don't mind washing your car and doing your vacuum yourself, I highly recommend this place. read more

Absolute joke of a business how is it that I used 6-7 minutes of time to wash my car but got charged $20 fucking dollars on my card scamming ass people read more

Do not use card as they falsely advertise their rates. Got charged $20 for 6-7 minutes

I come here I like that there is plenty of washes and vacuum areas. The last time I was here I fell and no one was around to report it and no one called me back from the number provided. There are several people not wearing mask even tho signs are posted for social distancing there are no signs for mask to be worn. My biggest concern is the drug dealers on the property distribution of illegal drugs by thee vacuum stations in the back of thee business for me that is why I rated it 2 stars if not for the gangsters and illegal activities I even took a video of it to prove it. read more

Old guy in the night is always on your ass. Annoying me every time I go I told him multiple times I didn't want help and he was staring at me for 10 min. I don't know if he needs help but get him out of there. read more

To my lazy ass pleasant surprise, I was able to do everything I need to in the stall: Soap, rinse, air dry, vacuum. Easy Peasy. However just like one guy said here, when you use the credit card to pay, be conscious of your time and when you're done make sure to press stop on charges to your card. read more

I got charge $13 to vacuum my car and $13 to wash it which on the machine said my total was $5 for a wash and $1 for vacuuming. Don't you your card. 6/6/2020 read more

The special is only at 11pm- so they trick you with the signs. You can't put in what money you want you have to put at least $3.00 for it to work, It gives you minutes, I don't remember how many but not much. It's always super packed and you have to wait long lines all the time, and I mean all the time. The job gets pretty messy and you wet your shoes very bad, so you might not want to wear nice shoes and wear sandals . Also becareful because you might slip on the soap. You need to work fast if you want to finish and not pay more. For me as a girl, I don't think its worth it to come here. It's messy and I have to had dry. I just rather do the drive thru car washes. But hey its a popular place to come, also its kind of ghetto. Anyways I'm not coming back. read more

Since I already get the hoopty washed here, might as well give my 2 cents on this place! Magic Wand Car Wash is open 24 hrs. Be careful if you come during the wee hours especially! Prices tend to change here as far as the car washes go. Not too long ago, they had a special offer. From 11pm to 7am, for $1, you get to wash your car for 7 minutes! Score! They have since kept it almost the same, except that it is now $5. It does always tend to get full during the night hours, which is the time I usually come anyways! They also do have somebody working on site, just in case something might go wrong. A while back, the vacuum swallowed my house keys. Within minutes, the person who has there that night helped me resolve the issue. For that, they get a thumbs up! If management ever reads this, here is a hint-with all the people you guys get during the night, bring a taco truck for the long wait that follows! read more

A $1.00 car wash. And that price is in effect 24 hours a day. Try finding that anywhere else in California. It's a basic self serve wash that left my vehicle very clean. The water flows through the nozzles at high pressure and cleaning brushes generate a lot of soapsuds. I will probably not return because I'm not from this area but it was interesting seeing the tons (and I mean tons) of people washing their cars at two o'clock in the morning. I could just imagine the lines during the day. read more

$1.00 car wash?!?! Thats right. AND you get a whole 4 minutes too. I love washing my own car...mostly for the great work out/calorie burning. This place is easy to find. There are a lot of car stalls(?). The brushes are foamy, the water pressure is high, they offer spotless rinse, and wax too. It could use better lighting at night, especially in the back part (where youre supposed to dry your car.). read more

Do not go here especially if you are going to use your card, i got charged $13 for using my card on the vacuum which said it was $1 for 4 minutes!!! read more

This place will be the reason of me starting to help, this place chipped paint off my Mercedes, I told the man that was working the to turn the pressure down because it chipped paint off my car, he shrugged his shoulders and said he can't do anything about it to contact the number on the wall ( since the number on yelp is disconnected I guess), I did, and a man answered saying what? No way, all those hoses are set at 1,000, I don't know what to tel you!!! I wasn't looking for money, just a simple sincere apology would've been perfect, or a "can we fix that area on your car" Something, very unprofessional place! So if you have a nice car, I DONT recommend you come here, and if your wondering why I have a star, it's because I was able to clean my car, but then that incident happened... So to that guy that answered the phone call, this yelp is because of you, an your "GREAT PERFECT" customer service read more
