    This place is too expensive to be doing half ass jobs. ‍ Each & every time I have had to ask them to clean something (rims, dash board streaks, cup holders, etc) I get that it's a drive thru car wash, but for the price & they charge they need to make sure cars are cleaned all the way & not half ass. When I asked for things to be corrected today (rims still dirty, dash board, mirrors, cup holder had liquid puddle, etc) I received some attitude. I just gave up & left, because I was feeling like my asking to correct things was a problem, but pictures below are what was still not cleaned. Not to mention vacuum job wasn't good either :/ I won't be coming back here again. I had a 3 car wash pass for $170 something, vs 1 was for $69 so sounds like a good deal, but again for price paid job should be done better!

    My clean car after being wiped down

    I bought their 4 month unlimited washes membership for $120 in person cash. The car wash opens at 8am and the guys work really hard from start to finish. Always an excellent drying phase and detailed to my car specially. I generally try to come before rush hour 3-6 and I can pull right up to the wash and dry section in about 8 minutes dried. For my car they remove the antenna before the ride and that is very important to me. I know this membership is worth the value because every day and anytime wash (opening hours) with clean tires is a luxury for $120. You could math it out .. or forget what it is like to wash your car again for 4/12 months of the year. Hahaha i love this place!

    Needed a good ol' interior/exterior cleaning of my car on Thursday. Arrived around noon, and it was a 5 minute wait to select and pay for service, with two cars in front of me (they have 2 lanes). Staff was straightforward and efficient. I was quoted a 40 minute wait for the mini detail service (which includes inside the trunk). There's a nice seating area on the right side of 7-Eleven where clean vehicles exit the wash, which was partially shaded, with a lovely fountain flowing at the center. My car was ready right on time, and the quality of the auto detailing was satisfactory for the price (everything sparkling clean!).

    Great service

    I've been really happy with this car wash. They're quick, the staff is friendly and professional, and my car always comes out looking spotless. It's great to find a place that's efficient without cutting corners. Highly recommend!

    Pay for unlimited car washing and it's sunny today and they closed. They said that when it's slow they closed but a few people were also wanting their car washes and they said come early tomorrow. But, tomorrow might rain, so do I come and check everyday? I told the manager that don't offer unlimited unless you can offer it. Such a misleading business to say you have unlimited service but cannot provide it for customers. Really bad business!

    Don't bother stopping. Super rude.

    Came into the store and asked a question. Employees were super rude at my recent visit. I came for gas, the restroom snack for my long drive home. Plan to pass on stopping and spend my money there in future.

    My car now smells like dirty rags, specially my carpets. I had to ask for my easy vacuumed areas to get redone.

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. All washes come with access to free vacuums, towels, and cleaning sprays. The vacuums were powerful and had no trouble picking up tiny and small debris in the car. 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.

    BEWARE OF DISHONEST PRACTICE. On Thursday, 2/26/26 at approximately 9:50 a.m. I stopped at the…read moreShell Gas/Carwash on Calaveras Blvd to get gas and a car wash. My car was already clean but I wanted to get the gas that was cheaper if you also got a car wash. I figure it couldn't hurt sprucing up my car with a car wash. I pulled up to gas pump #5, I got out of my car and I walked to the cashier booth to pay the attendant. It was very hard to understand the woman inside the booth because she had a heavy accent and at the same time she talked fast. I wish I had recorded her but who know you are going to need video evidence until after an incident goes wrong? She kept changing the instructions every time I had to encounter her presence. She turned what should have been a simple process into a confusing one. She ended up being no help and I left there dissatisfied as a customer and potential returning customer. The female employee in the booth told me that I had to get the car wash first. I repeated her instructions back to her, to make sure that I understood her. I repeated, "You want me to get the car wash and then return to you and then I can pump gas at the discount price?" She said, "Yes." She also added, "You want to pay cash, I help you." I happened to be holding cash in my hand. However if needed to pay by card, I could do that too. At this point, no options were given. I was told to go to the carwash. I got back in my car and drove to the right of the two lanes to pay for a car wash. Before I could get out of my car to pay at the self help machine, a male employee who spoke limited English blocked my door and indicated for me to stay in my car while he operated that machine for the car wash. He took my bank card and he used it in the machine to pay for my car wash. I couldn't see from my position in my car anything he was pressing on the touch screen to access the car wash. I trusted that I was paying for the inside/outside car wash so I could get my gas at $4.69 a gallon instead of $4.89 after the car wash. After my car was cleaned, I pulled up to gas pump #9 to get my gas. I returned to the payment booth to pay $40 for gas. I gave the attendant two twenty dollar bills along with my receipt for the car wash. I saw her put the money in the right front pocket of her pants along with my car wash receipt. Then she pointed for me to return to the pump where my car was to pump the gas. I returned to pump #9, I lifted the pump handle and as I was holding the handle in one hand, I used my other hand to push the button for 87 Octane. Before I even started adding the fuel, I noticed in the price window it showed the higher price $4.89 a gallon and not the car wash discount price $4.69 a gallon. I positioned the gas handle with the tip of the nozzle on the edge of my gas tank without touching the lever to access the gas. I only used the rim of my gas tank to hold the nozzle in place while I went to get the attendant's attention to let the employee know that it's showing the wrong price. She returned with me to the gas pump and she pointed to the $4.89 and said, "Yes, that's the cash price!" I reminded her that I had the car wash and it is not the price promised to me for a car wash. She doubled down and said it was. I told her, "No, it's not." I walked over towards the street where I could see the Shell Sign with the prices listed on it as she followed me. I pointed out the prices. Then she said, "I had to pay at the pump for that price." She never said that nor did she tell me that when she took my money and my receipt for the car wash that I already paid for. I was feeling frustrated. A lot more back and forth continued until I realized she was not going to honor allowing me to get gas at the carwash price. I called the Milpitas Police because I felt like I had been scammed out of the gas price that was promised if I got the car wash. There are no signs instructing customers how to get gas with a car wash at the .20 cent less a gallon incentive. I had to rely on the Shell employee who misinformed me by telling me what to do without explaining anything. I bought a car wash that I didn't need and the gas that I needed from the beginning I could only get if I paid the full price. After the police came, the officer talked in the employee's language because according to him they speak in the same dialect. The police officer said there may have been a miscommunication due to the language differences. All the police could do was tell me that it was a civil matter. He also said I could file a consumer complaint, and something with the Better Business Bureau. I left without getting the gas I needed to begin with and wasting my time there. I drove to the Union 76 gas station on the corner of Park Victoria & Calaveras Blvd where the gas was even cheaper at $4.59 a gallon. Ten cents a gallon cheaper than what Shell was charging for gas + carwash.
