The entire back of my car (Prius) was not washed. The brushes never went back there. I had to do this myself when I got home.

Good value but you need to check before leaving . Go on 1/2 price for deluxe package days read more

I had the car washed yesterday and paid 91.00 to do some detail. They did ok with the interior but the exterior still had bugs on the grill which the young lady cleaned off. When I got home and under closer inspection I had water drops on several areas of the car and it looked like the windows had not been cleaned on the outside. I went back today to redo the exterior which they did for free but the cashier took away my next wash within 10 days which was also supposed to be free. She said I did not get a full wash and would not reinstate after my explanation as to why I was back in 24 hours. Will not go back read more

I would not recommmend this place! You paying top dollar to get the ultimate package and you get junk! Not sure if it was just a bad day but for sure not coming back to this car wash! The quality is no where near as advertised. One good thing about this is the employees try to help out and apologize for the service. read more

Excellent service, quality, and the best value in Tucson! We need to support the local businesses!! Blue Whale is a small company that genuinely cares about its community. read more

This location is now Blue Whale Car Wash. Not sure how long since they took over from Octopus, but very pleased with the Blue Whale experience. A small army of employees were moving cars, including mine, through efficiently from greeting, vacuuming, washing, and hand drying. Pro tip - half off the ultimate package on Tuesdays and Thursdays. read more

Octopus Car Wash - Decent little air freshener included - Car Wash Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Change in name, now "Blue Whale" and a huge drop in service and options. This place has sunk even further under new management. Prices are super high! Quality of wash is questionable. And on the day I went, Monday at 10:30am, they were way understaffed. Added an additional 10 minutes to weight, which was already 15 minutes Car wash. I will be looking for another full service car wash. This place has lost my business! read more

I brought a friends filthy car, O to team made it beautiful with the $54 package. Truly beautig! So I brought a boss' truck- prolly last washed at least 9 Mo ago, and lives on a dirt road. The exterior was remarkably dirty. The Octo team has my, and the boss' sincere thanks - almost unrecognizable! It looks so good. read more

This was a good car wash at one time, but no more. No interior cleaning. I used to have them wax my car a couple of times a year and used the wash frequently. Not worth the money. read more

I wish I could give negative stars. Absolutely awful. The whole back of my car is still covered in dirt. The inside wasn't wiped at all. I got "the works" and it looks barely touched. Will not make the same mistake twice of going here. read more

Too pricy for what it is. I had a full service detail done here and it cost almost $200. The did a fine enough job but not what I would call a true car detailing. Also the products they used left a greasy film on my dash and steering wheel that I had to wipe down when I got home. My suggestion, get the regular $20-$30 service paying up above that isn't worth it. They do a good job on the exterior and running a vacuum through the vehicle but not $200 good. read more

Octopus is now Blue Whale Car Wash. Should be named Blue Fail. Almost 1 hour to get my car washed and only about 4 cars ahead of me. Tried to call the number on the receipt to complain but it was not in service. read more

I'm very impressed with their super clean car detail service. I haven't had time to deep clean my car since it got so hot outside and they did a great job for me. It took about 45 minutes and they were busy but this was worth the wait time. I drive a lot for work and there were caked on bugs that I couldn't get off at Mr. Carwash that they took the time to clean. My tires and wheels shine! I'm giving 4/5 stars because I paid extra for a wax job but it does not appear that I received it and there are a couple of areas that they didn't completely wash off. However, the windows are clean and clear and the inside is so much cleaner than I could have gotten it at home. read more

This place is now blue whale, new name same poor service. Interior was not vacuumed properly, still had crumbs and dirt on the console. Interior windows left with smudges and fingerprints. The manager, female with glasses is also very rude and unprofessional. Will never give this place my business again. read more

I paid for Ultimate wash, $33. My car dash was not wiped down, no cup holder vacuumed. Poor vacuum job, exterior clean.

Save your money! There were 2 cars in line when I arrived so they were not busy. Paid for the ultimate and now I'm headed home to wipe down my dash, clean my windows and actually wash the car that I just paid to have washed. All of my windows are still dirty. My hood still covered in sap. Basically they sort of vacuumed my car and drove it through. Ask them if they can take care of these things and they tell me they are busy. I paid for a service and i just would like the service to be done. This place used.to be great. Increased competition from mister should make a local business more attractive but not anymore. Customer service and quality are terrible. I won't return. read more

Octopus Car Wash - My receipt - paid $25 for them to run my car through the machine - Car Wash Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place keeps busy! Goodness, there were about one dozen other cars while I was there. I went with some special at about $22 that gave me the full exterior wash, a wash for the belly of the car and the interior clean along with a spiffy shine on the tires at the end. Good reasonable price. But I was super aggravated with the attendant. When I drove up, he asked me if I had "tried" to wash my car. Eh? "You have some serious calcium build up here. Did you try to wash your car?" It occurred to me what he was referencing -- I parked my car in a spot that, unknowingly, had a sprinkler system nearby. I returned to find my car splattered with spots. "I would recommend getting a wax because I am not sure a wash is going to get all of that out." Now, he's the professional. But, goodness, you would think that he would have been able to tell that I had gotten my car waxed recently -- no more than one month prior to be precise. No? Didn't notice? Oh, OK. I told him I wouldn't be getting a wax that day; I just got my car waxed. His response: "Hopefully it will come off then." ...hopefully?! Isn't that the point of a wax job? Even after this brief exchange, he still tried to up-sale me on something else. Goodness me! But, tell you folks, when another attendant waved me over because my car was set to go, I was thoroughly impressed. She looked gorgeous! ...until I got in the car. Excellent job on the vacuuming, but there was still dust on parts of the dash and steering column. Boo! But this wasn't a detail job, folks, so I can't be overly critical there. read more

Absolutely disappointed. I have a new car so it wasn't too dirty to begin with but I wanted a good detail on the inside. I left with it not even looking like they touched it. It hadn't been vacuumed and the dash where the monitor is and buttons hadn't even been dusted or wiped down. After waiting 70min I had to return to work so I had to leave but I emailed them right when I left and attached pictures and their only response was what is my license plate and then I never heard back. I will not be returning and neither will my family. Not right. read more

A very poor explanation of the detailing services, what was included and what wasn't, and also they didn't clean the scuff marks on the car, which I was able to clean very quickly when I left. When I called, the location manager, Ashley, was very hostile and told me they aren't responsible and I could not get any sort of refund. RIP OFF. Avoid these thieves. read more

Update: I don't think I will return to this place. I used to love the service I received here but the last two times were not good. This last time was so bad that I took my car home to re-clean. This is my usual car wash and I love the job they do on my car. I just never thought to yelp it, lol! Today was a four star service vs the five stars normally get. Today my windows will need rewashed when I get home because I can see the foggy wipe streaks on the front and side windows and they didn't roll the side windows down to get that little part at the top. This is not typical and I'll blame it on how busy they were this morning) I still love how my car looks and will be back in two weeks (pgot to love the free car wash with receipt within the first 10 days!) read more

$30 and they didn't even wipe anything down. Didn't hardly vacuum anything as well. Take a look at the pic, worst waste of money! Stay away!! read more

Octopus Car Wash - Didn't even wipe anything for $30 service - Car Wash Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Since the hubby is a veteran, we headed to Octopus Car Wash on Veterans Day. Their offer, a free car wash or the Ultimate car wash for $5 (normally at a price of $28.99). Great savings! However....I still wouldn't get the $28.99 car wash from them. I have to redo the inside as it is dusty yet, I can hardly see out the windshield when the sun hits it and the vacuum job was mediocre. I should have just gotten the basic free car wash and did the inside myself. However, props to Octopus Car Wash for offering the veterans of Tucson this service. read more

I wish I could put pictures on here... first they took out a part that belonged in the car... then looking closely at it dog hair and Seats didn't even get pulled out to clean out. Terrible!!! Do not go! You will be wasting your money! Go to TruTouch they are near by if you want a job well done. read more

Really bad car wash. Read all the reviews. It's kinda known in tucson you don't bring your car here. Wheels were not washed, dirt on the outside. Obviously tge people working here don't care. I was laughing with the gal inside. It looked cleaner before I brought it in. read more

This is the worst car wash in Tucson! Should be called a car rinse that's all they did! Widows were disgusting. Only did three tires forgot one. I will never go back! read more

I had my van washed a week ago and would like to complement Tony on his patience and assistance. I am disabled and was having a bad day. I had difficulty walking everywhere. When I exited the van to pay, he and others helped me up the curb. Are used their restroom (Very nice and clean) and upon exiting was greeted by Tony saying that I need to drive my van through the car wash. I believe it is because the van is also equipped with hand controls and they previously had a bad experience with someone else's van. Because of my difficulty walking, Tony backed up the van from the vacuum area so that I could walk very few feet to get into the driver seat. This would have been a much more difficult experience for me without the kindness of Tony. I believe Tony said he's been with the company's for 25 years. Thanks for keeping the good ones, Octopus! I am giving this only a four star rating because it's much as they cleaned the windshield, there were spots and smears that I saw after leaving. read more

It was understandably busy since we just had snow and rain. We we're greeted quickly and headed to the vacuum station. We only waited about twenty-five minutes for the truck to be washed. When we walked out we immediately noticed that there was still dirt around the bottom of the truck and they didn't dry one half off. The windows were smudged and the inside looked as if it hadn't been touched. I was instantly irritated that we paid $24.99 for a crappy car wash. I won't be subjecting myself to this insanity again. They have officially lost my business. Surf-Thru will be my go to from now on. read more

I was welcomed and greeted immediately. Customer service was really good. This was my first time at this location and once I got to my car I was extremely dissatisfied with my $21 service. The interior was a mess. I didn't have time to complain, so I will not be returning. read more

Octopus Car Wash - This is what a $21 car cleaning buys. - Car Wash Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The outside comes out nice for the most expensive packages but they do terrible job on the inside, worst I've ever had consistently even if you pay extra. Unfortunately this is the only one I have time to go to a lot. Of you just want the outside done this place is okay. I don't like that the cashier was really sick and wasn't wearing a mask! read more

After a long road trip my car was completely covered with cross country grime. I was in the area so I thought I would try out a $5 wash. I wasn't expecting too much and that is exactly what I got. You would think that the automatic car wash machines would be engineered to do a better cleaning job. My car still had some dirt on the lower sides between the wheels, but it looked better than before. Meh, what do you want for $5 today? Don't fall for the upsell. This place is only good for getting the worst of the dirt off your vehicle. For example, if you have been 4 wheeling in the desert, or in a mud race. read more

Beware of this car wash as they will attempt to rip you off. Tuesdays are 1/2 price days but the greeter will tell you it's only on the wash only. This is not true. It's for all washes. They will also try to add extras like the Aussie wax which you will want or ask for. Be wary of this place. I'd recommend Mr Car Wash over this place any day. read more

You get what you pay for. Went to this place 2 times total in the 3 years I have lived out here. First time they did a a decent job for "The Works" package. Went again a couple days ago and they half assed it. Still had dirt and film on the exterior. Windows weren't wiped clean both inside and out. Floor boards still have stuff left behind from not vacuuming it out. There were at least 6 of them on board cleaning my vehicle, how do you manage to miss all this? Do yourself a favor and go to a self serve car wash if you are physically capable. read more

I paid $280 for a complete detail for my Tahoe. after three hours and 45 minutes the car was returned still dirty. the wheels were still grimy, the running boards hadn't been touched, the dash was dusty, the front bumper was crusty with bugs and the door frames were left dirty. the tires were half wiped and the wheel wells were still muddy. I'll never return there nor recommend them for ANY service big or small. I had to have the manager herself clean the affected areas before I would leave and the job was still sub-par. read more

So I went to Octopus car wash this morning because I needed a quick wash, the inside of the car vacuumed, the windows cleaned, and I had spilled a small amount of coffee on the center console I just needed wiped. It wasn't a huge mess. Less than the size of half a dollar bill. The greeter informed me that they couldn't clean the console, because "they want you to buy the $45 detail package". You're kidding! For $17.00 or more, they won't wipe down the center console?? They did wipe down the dashboard (did a lousy job, by the way). From now on, I'm sticking with Surf Through Express just down the street. A lot cheaper, free vacuums, and I'll just bring my own window cleaner and interior cleaner. Oh, and I can't blame the lousy job of cleaning my car on kids they hire. This morning, it was all adults and managers. And frankly, they don't care. read more
