Tire damage!
Jessica Q.

Customers BEWARE! $500.00 worth of damage! They damaged my vehicle and refuse to take responsibility! My car was fine when I dropped it off at the vacuum station/wash tunnel. When it came out from the dryer, one of the tires was completely flat. After inspecting the tire, I found a slash on the sidewall. According to the vehicle's logs, the tire went flat about 1 second after being placed in neutral (to roll through the wash tunnel). The tire was not repairable and needed to be replaced. I notified the cashier immediately but she was less than helpful. She handed me the manager's business card and told me I could fill the tire at the station's air compressor. My tire was completely ruined and my car was not drivable and I needed to be towed. No employees seemed to even care! This place is trash! Come here at your own risk. Since the incident, the manager, Ruben, is not taking any responsibility and now I'm out over $500.00. I've been a customer of this place for 5 years. It's sad to see how they treat (or, in this case, ignore) their regular customers.

Cup holders again with the zero attempt to clean them

Worst car wash I've had, it had been a while but this is what they consider clean?! I tried to bring up my issues with the person who was at my car but she just looked at me and acted like she didn't know what anything I was saying to her meant. $35 and I tipped an extra $7 before seeing how they left my car. The cup holders and center console saw no cleaning at all, they even left the trash cup I forgot to throw out

Missing car mat

They misplaced a car mat and refused to discuss what happened. They denied I had a mat and then tried to give me a hand me down. The cashier walked away and assist in calling the manager.

Not my ride but they do a good job

As the saying goes "get a carwash it will rain" and it sure did the day after my visit here. I came back to see if they take a rain check and they don't but that's ok. Been here a few times and for the price of a regular basic wash they do a good job. If you think you're gonna come here on a lunch break expecting a quick wash you're boss will have you in the office for going extra long. Good or bad They don't rush the wash or the drying. I love that they dry it in the shade to limit water spots. After nearly a dozen times I've never had to tell them they've missed a spot. As much as I visit other washes around town this is the one I frequent the most. they do offer veteran discounts on every wash but the cheapest wash.

Be prepared for a 20% price increase! That's $5 more for a regular wash. Service no better than before.

I used to hire a mobile vendor, but there were too many inconsistencies, and for the same amount I was paying them, I get far better quality and care here. Manager Gavin and Detail Master José always take care of my truck and make it look car‑show ready. The amount of detail José and his team put into their work under Gavin's supervision is unmatched. I leave knowing my truck will shine for days, if not weeks. I always get the Executive Wash Package because it's well worth it. There's no other way to go -- the results speak for themselves. And it's a must to tip José and his team; they take their time and pay attention to every single detail. Bringing my truck here has become part of starting my weekend the right way. If you're looking for a true 5‑star hand car wash and detailer, this is the place. Trust me -- you'll leave knowing your vehicle will outshine anything else on the road. And you know how some car wash places leave streaks of water when you roll down the window? Not here. Not with José and Gavin's team. They remove water from every nick and cranny. The quality is consistent every single visit.

I noticed from a distance how the rollers, water and soap sprays would end even before the cars would reach it. I got so confused, then I saw it again happen to the white SUV in front of me. When I finally got on the conveyor, soap started to spray on my car. I noticed on the side that the rollers would end before I went passed it. Not the rollers, not the water, not the other soap sprays and even the air dryer hit my car at all. After that, I was convinced the car wash lane is absolutely broken. None of the staff said ANYTHING about it being broken. They just kept letting everyone in. I was annoyed. I chose the "best" wash they had and wasted money. I parked at the vacuum area hoping there would be compressed air I could use to at least blow the soap bubbles away, but there wasn't any. To make sure I wasn't imagining what I saw with the other cars, I asked the lady next to me, the same driver that was in front, if it ended early for her, too. She said unhappily "Yep. It was a waste of time!" I ended up leaving to go to another car wash up Tustin St. which worked perfectly. I then realized I needed to get a refund. I called this location, the manager answered. I asked for a refund and mentioned the fact that their "car wash is broken as hell." You can tell from her voice she wasn't happy. She refused to give me a refund over the phone. I was already on my way home so I tried to get the refund for the next day. Soon after the call ended, she called and left a voicemail saying I had to come in now if I wanted the refund. Trying to make it difficult for me to get a refund? Fine. Went back, got in line and met the manager. She wasn't happy and constantly looked at me with contempt. Kept asking if I had my receipt, I said no, because I didn't ask for it to be printed when I paid. She said "Then how I can refund you?" Are you serious? You can't refund someone using just my card information? Well, guess what? After she repeatedly asked me about my receipt, she ended up refunding me anyway after giving her my license plate which they had on record. She said "Next time make sure to have your receipt." -- or what? You're not going to refund me despite having my payment and license plate in your system? Also, who the hell knew the lane was going to be that broken until we got in there? Otherwise I could have made sure to get the receipt so I could flash that on your face. She was just damn lazy to look it up. And if you didn't believe my claim, look at your camera feed. Plus, I sure as hell know YOU KNEW the car wash lane was broken at that time because your staff manning the booth was scrambling around. I wondered at the time why he ran towards me and tried to stop me from making a payment. I also know you saw me talking to the lady with my car clearly covered in soap bubbles because when I turned around, you were there looking at us as you walked away while the lady was diligently and sadly trying to wipe off the soap on her SUV. The manager just chose to ignore it all and hoped no one would complain. You knew the lane was broken, yet you kept letting more and more cars in instead of shutting it down to fix it. A bunch of cars came out of that lane covered in soap as the drivers paid for your so-called "car wash." The sad thing is this car wash is significantly newer than Rapids Express Car Wash further North on Tustin St which I primarily went to. This location is so badly maintained that one of the air blowers' vent is spinning in place blowing air in circles. All because of poor management. This place is absolute garbage. Never going back here.

First thing to note--this place is easy to miss. I embarrassingly drove right past the entrance the first time because it's a pretty small opening and hard to spot if you're going even a little fast. Had to loop around the block and try again. Also, there's only space for about two cars to queue before you're basically spilling into the street. My girlfriend and I parked one behind the other, and honestly, another car behind us would've been halfway in the road. There is street parking nearby though if their little alcove is full. When we pulled in, there was a ton of activity--cars constantly moving through, getting cleaned, etc.--so it's clearly a popular spot. My girlfriend mentioned there have been times she's come and had to leave because the line was backed up into the street, so I think we got pretty lucky timing-wise. Price-wise, I think it's solid. For an exterior wash + interior clean, it felt reasonable. Since we came together, I think they held our cars to finish around the same time, so it ended up taking about 1-1.5 hours. Honestly not bad, especially since there are a bunch of cafes and restaurants within walking distance if you want to kill time. They also have a really nice waiting area--I even saw someone working on their laptop, so I'm guessing they might have Wi-Fi too. Now... my one big issue. They threw away my parking sticker. You know those apartment gate stickers that automatically open the gate? I had mine on my dashboard (still on the original backing because I sometimes lend it to friends who watch my cats). I get that it might not have been in the usual spot, but it very clearly wasn't trash. What made it more confusing is that they didn't even fully clear out small trash in my car--there were still a couple random paper/sticker backing pieces left behind, so it's not like they were just tossing everything indiscriminately. Also, for context--my car was clean going in. I don't keep stuff in my car beyond a reusable grocery bag or my tennis bag sometimes, and this was one of the rare times I even had a little bit of trash. So I don't think this was a situation where my car was cluttered and something got accidentally swept up in a bigger cleanup. That part was honestly frustrating. Overall, I would come back because they did a good job cleaning the car and the price is fair--but I'd definitely make sure to remove anything remotely important beforehand so there's no confusion next time.
