I live on the windward side, so I wish I could come here more often, but the drive across the…read moreisland keeps me from visiting as much as I'd like. I've brought two different cars here, and both experiences have been excellent. Every employee who worked on my vehicles was incredibly diligent and paid close attention to the details. They clearly take pride in their work, and it shows in the final result. The prices are fair, the quality is consistently great, and I've always left impressed with how clean my cars looked. My only wish is that they would open a second location on the windward side. I'd be a regular customer if they were closer!

Some places stop being businesses and quietly become part of a city. McKinley Car Wash is one of…read morethose places. I've been coming here on and off for almost thirty years. Every trip back to Hawaii somehow includes a stop here, usually in one of my parents' cars, waiting in line with everyone else while the smell of soap mixes with hot asphalt and exhaust. It's oddly nostalgic. The system works, but it definitely assumes you've been here before. When you pull up, the menu isn't really explained. You're asked a few quick questions about tires, vacuuming or upgrades and before you know it you're being waved forward. If you're trying to understand the difference between services or whether a detail is worth it, don't expect much guidance. The actual wash was good, especially for the price. Coming from Los Angeles, where a proper wash and detail can easily cost well over $100, it's hard to complain. Just don't expect perfection. The interior looked much better, but there was still sand hiding under the kids' car seats and a few corners that were easy to miss. If you have children, prepare yourself for the awkward dance of unloading everyone while deciding whether to let someone else drive your car through the wash. One thing I would recommend. Tip the crew. They work incredibly hard in the Hawaii heat, moving nonstop from one car to the next. No, it isn't a concours level detail. But for a long standing neighborhood institution that gets you in, gets you out and leaves your car noticeably cleaner without emptying your wallet, it's still easy to understand why locals keep coming back.

Great location (just a few blocks from McKinleys) on Ward, on the side street across Ward from the Patagonia store. The lot is small, only fits 4 or 5 cars in driveway - but I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get started. (I used the time to gather up all my junk so they could thoroughly clean the interior). Service absolutely is fantastic. You drive yourself into the washing bay under the direction of the service guy. Then you back out and park under the sunshades so the team can hand dry the exterior and all door jams, AND then thoroughly vacuum out the interior. They ask you to step out at sit at provided table (under shade) or pay for service while they're doing all that. There's a service charge for using credit card that is waived if you pay cash. (SUV $29+tax) A tip box is provided on the wall - fill that baby up because these folks are so deserving! Bottom line - excellent service, location, price, and so quick and easy!

So I did not get my car washed there but thought customer service and organization for scheduling…read morewas bad. I'm looking for hand wash so I call and the person who answers says "Oh just bring it by, if it's not a detail you can just pull up" So I pull up. The guy then says "Oh you need an appointment" I said oh the guy just called said I didn't need an appointment to pull up.. then he says " oh, that was me." Then he tells me to wait and says he probably won't have time for it today if I can come back tomorrow. So I said what time? Then he says 12. I said how long does it take? He said 45- 1 hr. I said OK that works if I can get out because I have a doctor appointment at 1:20pm. Then he said " oh, just bring it by after" so I said what time? Then he says " or maybe on Saturday" I'm like huh?? I said I'm trying to get a car wash today or tomorrow then he says " oh, you can just go McKinley then." I'm not usually a complainer, but the whole interaction was just so irritating and the person I was interacting with just gave off IDGAF vibes, puffing on his vape and then just telling me to go somewhere else. Bummers because location wise they were convenient and if service was good I would have been a repeat customer.

Lo and behold, this Texaco car wash place popped up. I read a few reviews and I decided to try it out. There was about four cars ahead of me. The reviews warned us about the wait time. There is wait that depends on the type of car wash package you select. I estimated @10-15 minutes per car. I didn't know where to pay and I asked my sister to run into the convenience store to check if I needed to pay first. You can pay inside and you will receive a receipt with a code that you enter into a machine that is located near the entrance of the car wash. Or you can pay at the machine as well. Your choice. Pay attention to the instructions and lighted signs! It will guide you into the automatic car wash with ease. It's pretty loud inside so be prepared! Pricing is really great at $10 for the basic- Deluxe Wash, $14 for the premium wash, $17 for the ultimate wash, and $20 for Ceramic shine. See photo for more information. It's an automatic car wash , so be prepared to wipe down your car with a towel after you exit and find a place to park. The dryer doesn't get every spot. If you want air for your tires, vacuum, or water, it will cost you. Bring your coins. Appeared that some features are broken. Overall, a good experience for my old and now cleaned up car!

Sometimes there's a guy that knows you want to use the car wash but he goes really fast, parks his car right outside the wash, takes his sweet time to walk and talk to the people in the booth. Then he slowly walks to the car, waits for I dunno - a few minutes. Then slowly goes in. When his wash is finished, he waits until the entire car was turns off then he slowly moves out. All of this before 6am in the morning. Good morning to all! But then it's my turn. I pay $20, get the ceramic coating etc... etc... and in the end, they fix the problem with the car ripping off my back wiper. They fixed it! Because it didn't wash half of the back of my car. Oh well..... So..... would you take this car wash which is the closest to your house? OR drive to Waipio for a 1 min 48 sec car wash for the same price? Choices.......

A long tradition to do at the end of the year is get your car washed and here at Don's Makiki Service having a drive thru car wash is so convenient with not many similar services like this in town at such a great price I was aware yet constantly forgetting it's there.

The staff here is efficient and friendly and the price you just can't beat, the days of drive thru efficiency is a luxury thing I'm grateful for and here in Makiki it a service that is given with ease to take care of what has taken such great care you me.

I was a little hesitant on how the next business owner would be, but I decided to give him a try. I'm so glad I did because I've been coming here for months now. Booking an appointment is easy and Colby (new owner) is very responsive. He usually gets back to me by the end of the day. LOCATION: They are located in the Pacific Guardian Center... the entry to their building is on Alakea Street. Pull a ticket and drive up to the 10th floor. COST: Depending on what you wanna get, he hand wash and dries your car... I have a black car so I don't trust taking my car to an auto car wash place. Inquire with the business because the prices my change. Overall, for the convenience and quality, it's definitely worth it. SERVICE: Colby is very responsive via text message or phone. I usually drop my car off and then grab a bite to eat downstairs and catch up on some reading. When he's about done with my car, he texts me and then I head back upstairs. The garage ticket is also automated. So you don't have to worry about paying for the garage fee on the way out. I've been coming here for a few month now for a hand wash and quick vacuum of the interior. It's really convenient coming here because I live a very busy life.
