Normally bring my work truck here and spend a pretty penny. Workers are solid and job gets done. I…read morenormally have a golid experience, but today on Sunday 7.26 at 10am I just dealt with some older lady with an accent. I asked if I can exchange money for tips for their workers , and she says i have to buy something. Weird i have never had that before as the cashiers i normally deal with on Saturdays are chill and just take it from my card. I buy a water and ask for change , she asks how much , and I said well id like 20$ deducted from this purchase. She says so not one 20? Im like no thanks, just deduct it from the bottle you're saying I have to buy and to just give me the rest of the change with smaller bills. She says "so no 20$ tip?" With like a dumb tone. I just explain again no and my plan was to give the dude like 10$ bucks and have a couple singles and a five if it were like multiple dudes working on the truck. Bought a water bottle for 2.79. She didn't deduct it but added for a grand total of 22.79? I explicitly said not to do that? Dude i pay like 175$ for these washes off my company card every other week for a nice detail and the dudes do a solid job . I tip outta my own pocket and she just made this experience annoying. Typically its a solid place, but shes also being like loud , condescending, and so it was just an unpleasant experience. Still a solid place. But 4/5 for this experience because I know she probably like that with other customers too.

Interestingly, my issue is with the individual responding to these reviews, whom the cashier…read moreidentified as the "supervisor." Unfortunately, my first visit will also be my last. The employees did a great job, but the supervisor's rude and dismissive attitude ruined the experience. When I asked about the different wash packages, his response was simply, "They're up there." He seemed more interested in watching videos than assisting a customer. When I declined the additional services he tried to upsell me, his attitude became even worse. It's disappointing that someone in a leadership position would demonstrate such poor customer service. The employees deserve credit for their hard work, but management needs to do better. Definitely won't be coming back!

Five stars for Ethan at Fast5Xpress Car Wash in Monrovia. He has a very positive demeanor and a…read moregreat attitude while attending the cars entering the wash. You can tell he takes pride in what he does. I also noticed he protects his hearing by wearing ear plugs, which shows he works safely and professionally. It really stood out because some other staff looked bored or annoyed, but Ethan was the complete opposite. He was alert, friendly, and made the whole experience more pleasant. Frank wasn't there today, but he also always offers service with a smile whenever I see him. Great customer service from both of them. Highly recommended.

Preface: My SUV is a 2025 model and only about eight months old. I typically wash my car by hand,…read morebut with the temperature outside being over 100°F, I decided to save myself the trouble and use a quick drive-through car wash. I understand that drive-through car washes aren't typically the best option, but this was by far the worst experience I've had. You know there's a problem when the attendant tells you, "You can come through again if it's not clean enough." My car wasn't anywhere near filthy to begin with just the usual road dust and some sprinkler water spots from the night before that I wanted to get off. I went with the premium wash, not once, but twice, and somehow still ended up having to wash the car by hand afterward. The spots, dust, and grime were all still there. Honestly, it looked like someone simply sprayed the car with a hose and called it a day. Don't waste your money paying extra for the premium wash. I have a hard time believing the lower tiers would produce any different results. The only difference seems to be how much money you're throwing away. I would highly recommend avoiding this car wash. The results were extremely disappointing, and the entire experience was very unsatisfactory.

I've been coming with my car for years and twice with my sports car, it does a great quick wash but…read morei notice sometimes even when you get the platinum wash there is nothing coming out of some of the labeled sprayers at the end. The pricing is not bad but i was thinking maybe if I go weekly then it would be worth the subscription. Today I went with my race car and the mirrors got moved, they were nice to push them back to normal. My sister had a bad experience where the spinning rags took off her passenger side mirror completely. I still go because it's a very quick wash and I don't have to detail them myself especially on a hot 102 degree day like today.

Lupe, one of the staff members,…read morebecame extremely aggressive toward me -- and the supervisor/manager was even worse. !!What happened was TERRIFYING! A staff member named Lupe and, especially, the supervisor/manager behaved aggressively toward me. What happened was terrifying and completely unacceptable. !!! My elbow accidentally touched my car horn. An employee named Lupe immediately began yelling at me, demanding to know why I was honking, and used profanity toward me. I then proceeded toward the car wash, but Lupe blocked my path with a traffic cone. A supervisor came over and, instead of de-escalating the situation, told me that "Lupe does not yell at someone without a reason." At that point, I rolled up my car window. The supervisor then struck/banged on my closed car window with his fist. I was then told to leave the car wash immediately. The supervisor told me that if I did not leave the property, he would call the police. Because of the way I was treated, the Horrible car washterrifying placeaggressive conduct toward my vehicle, and my overall dissatisfaction with the service, I requested that my membership be canceled and I left the property. I had been a customer of this car wash for approximately six years. After this incident, I no longer felt comfortable continuing my membership and requested a refund of the disputed membership charges.

I've been a monthly member here for at least 5 years, and I honestly felt like it's finally time to…read moreleave a review. The biggest thing I've noticed recently is the change in the team's attitude. Before, whenever I asked for a small favor or wanted them to pay attention to something, I sometimes felt like I was being a pain. Lately though, it's been the complete opposite. The staff are much friendlier, easy to communicate with, and most of them speak great English. They actually listen to what you're asking for and make the effort to get it done. The wash might take a few extra minutes now, but I'd much rather have that if it means they're taking their time and paying attention to the details. As someone who's been coming here for years, I finally feel like my voice is heard and that they genuinely appreciate their monthly members. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days. If you live anywhere in the San Gabriel Valley, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I've seen the improvement firsthand, and I hope they keep it up. Keep up the great work, guys!

Now mind you, I live 2 blocks from the Alhambra Car Wash on Atlantic & Main, but I always drove out of my way to come here. I bought a booklet for the "Gold" car washes for approximately $300.00, three months before the transfer of ownership. Now if I knew what I know today, I definitely would have not bought them. I wish the cashier who sold me the booklet would have told me about the pending sale and transfer of ownership. I'm giving this review on my most recent visit. On a Wednesday, I arrived seeing that there weren't many cars on the lot awaiting to be detailed at 11:45 a.m. and departed at 1:30 p.m., only to pull my car back onto the lot near the gas pumps to "detail" my car myself. Why? Because when my car came out of the wash dripping with water and soap residue, my car sat in the blaring 102 degree Sun for 40 mins., I finally walked up to the cashier and informed him that no one was tending to my car, he immediately got on the walkie-talkie and 15 minutes later, Jenny started to "detail" my car for 20 mins. Now I'm not faulting her, but the amount of hard water spots that were on my car was out of control. Jenny and I walked around my car, and she dealt with the hard water spots I pointed out with a cheap product that was like diluted Windex to the best of her abilities, until she was summoned by her supervisor to get working on another car. I didn't want her to get in trouble, so I told her to just go because she wasn't having any luck in getting the hard water spots off my car. As I was wiping the water spots off my car by their gas pumps, with my bottle of Chemical Guy's Speed Wipe Quick Detailer Spray (which I always keep in my car, because I like a clean looking car), the lady who used to work the cashier desk walked up to me and asked what was going on. I showed her all the hard water spots on my car, and she was really ashamed of the finished job. I told her, after paying for a car wash, which is $50.00, plus giving a $15.00 tip, I basically paid $65.00 for a crappy carwash. She told me, I know you're a long time customer and have a reputation with the detailers for always giving a good tip, and apologized for the crappy job on my car, which was unacceptable, even to her standards. She said she was going to talk to the new owner's about the many complaints she's been getting lately from customers. Lastly, as I mentioned, I'm giving this review based on my last time there, but honestly, the last 2 car washes were pretty bad, and I had to wipe my car down both times. I just didn't want to give a bad review, but this last time had me truly disappointed and I need the new owners to know what's going on at their establishment, and hopefully work on improving their business. Note to new owners: I know the dynamics regarding the change of the quality of your car washes has A LOT has to do with the ICE raids, and them taking some of your best auto detailers. But if you want to charge Nordstrom prices, get quality detailers and let go your employees who are doing a disservice to your car wash business. I've got 3 "gold" tickets left. Hopefully, my next visit will warrant a new and approved review from me. Thank you.

The guys at StreamDrive have done an amazing job on our vehicles as well as our absurdly large van. Their attention to detail is really impressive, and they're just generally wonderful to work with. Highly recommended!

Communicative and fast! I used the Yelp Projects quote system. Fast response time, within a couple…read moreof hours. StreamDrive was willing to provide an estimate with the details provided in messaging, unlike the other companies who contacted me! Every other businesses' response boiled down to, "bring your car in and we'll look at it." The old entrapment model of auto detailing. Where they're counting on you not having the willpower to leave if the work has already begun. Luke at StreamDrive was able to accommodate my current situation and offered to swing by and see the condition of my car in-person and provide the quote. By default, that's 5-stars "above and beyond" service. I want to recommend his business to people for life! My Honda C-RV needed prep for resale. StreamDrive really went in and did some disinfecting, were able to remove lingering odors, got the leather restored, restored the headlights, and even performed a trim restore so this 2013 car looks really fresh! I wasn't expecting to write a review for this auto detailing service, so I don't have any "before" photos. I'm sorry about that, it's not an ideal situation for a glowing restoration review. I'm not so comfortable sharing pictures of my personal vehicle in the first place, you know what I mean? My pics just look like a super clean car. You can't tell it was ever damaged! $400 all-in inside-and-out restoration, under the hood, even buffing out some minor scuffs and scrapes it looks like, as well as painting/restoring the sun-faded plastic panels all around the vehicle: that's a value. No gap left untouched, unlike a drive-thru detailing service. I'm getting return on investment and then some because I'm now able to sell at top dollar private party fair market value.

The entrance sneaks up on you and is kinda set back from Duarte Rd. so be watching for it! If you get to Nano Cafe, you went too far. Like some others have said, the area is a little sketch, but I was alone and there during the day and felt relatively safe. Seemed ok at that time, but not sure I'd go alone at night. I came around 1pm and was able to go right into a cleaning bay, no waiting. The vacuum cleaners are positioned before the car wash bay instead of in the back, so I really liked that bc I always vacuum before I wash the outside. The vacuum had ample tubing and reached all areas of my car. For the $1 it gave me plenty of time to do one whole side of my car (not sure the exact amount of time, but it was good value imo). I added a couple more quarters and was able to finish the whole interior, so it's ample time. I spent the $5 up front for the 13 minutes and it was the exact perfect amount of time to do my whole Mazda! I used the tire cleaner and brush, used the soap wand and then the soap brush for the whole car, rinsed, did the coat protectant and then the spot free rinse and finished just as the time expired. It was the perfect amount. Everything cleaned nicely as well! The wands and brushes have plenty of slack in their tubing and pretty much rotate entirely so you can walk around your whole car. The spot free rinse worked well too...there were a small few spots of water dried on, but hardly noticeable. They also have floor mat hangers too. Will definitely be back!

I almost died... Ok, not really but I slipped on the water…read morereturn grate that goes across and I almost fell. $3 for 4 minutes is the going price. Pro tip leave 2$ in your pocket in case you need more time. My strategy for washing the car with the most optimal coverage. Set it to soap, walk fast around the car you want make 2 laps for really even coverage. Then switch to high pressure rinse, zig zag spray while going from top to bottom going around the car just 1 lap. Switch over to spot free rinse At this point you probably have 1 min 30 seconds. Same as the last step but you keep going until you run out of time. The most effective for $3. Make sure you bring your own towels, I suggest a minimum of 3 microfiber clothes.
