I went in here today to get car washed and ended up getting membership after talking to (Jenny) who works there. She explained the process and how much I would save monthly. And if I add multiple cars on my membership then I would get more family discounts too. What a good deal!!! read more

NO RAIN POLICY! I visited this car wash for the first time yesterday, and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. I wasn't aware that rain was expected later in the day. I returned this morning to ask if they offered any type of 24-hour rain check or rewash policy. I was told they do not have one, which was surprising and frustrating. Many car washes offer some kind of rain guarantee, so this felt like a missed opportunity for customer service. I hope my $10 car wash was worth all of my future business. Rule #1, take care of your paying customers. Because of that, I likely won't be returning. read more

Orange Express Car wash - Car Wash Near Me - Orange, California

Just signed up because my old place closed. Plenty of space clean have vacuum and air. Love it wash was great. Very satisfied!!!

No accountability, no professionalism, just straight disrespect. If this is how you treat paying customers, it says a lot about your business. Absolutely unacceptable experience. My mom went in with a simple question about a charge she thought was a subscription, and instead of helping her, employees (one named Javier) were laughing at her while she was trying to get answers. When she asked for a corporate number, they only gave her the store number and kept clowning around. I called myself to follow up, and it was just as bad. The staff gave me a hard time, were dismissive, and claimed no managers or shift leads were available. Again big emohasis on the disrespect. If this is how you treat paying customers, it says a lot about your business. Do better. read more

Update from previous 5-star review. I TRULY wanted to keep coming here, but damn, they make it hard! I feel like half the time the gate doesn't work and they always have to enter my number and I feel the wash just doesn't get the job done. I continued to come here for convenience, but now I'm cancelling my monthly membership because I got a new car and they can't simply swap out my old car for the new one. WTF?! How hard can it be and what difference does it make? I have two cars I pay for each month that I will now take elsewhere. Very disappointed as I love supporting small, family businesses. read more

Bottom line is a company cares or doesn't care about keeping customers happy. Does this car wash place care ??? I unfortunately was super excited when they opened less than 1 mile from us. During their grand opening I ALREADY had issues with their quality, pricing and vacuum hoses that come apart. After reading the RECENT reviews and seeing less than 2 stars, I am not surprised at all. I also had a short complaint to a "staff or manager" there. Yes he was rude, yes he didn't seem to care and no he did not do the right thing for me which was to admit I didn't get the FULL service I paid for.... At the end, they really don't care and zero professional communication skills. read more

Is horrible the service they are the worse in costumer service the oriental guy who works there have. A really bad attitude and they don't help I recommend to don't waste your money on this place is the worst read more

I drove by today to see they had finally opened! As you drive north, you'll see a sign saying, "EXIT. Do not enter." That's for the place next door; you actually turn into the place right after that sign. I first noticed a VERY LONG driveway before you get to the pay stations. This is a very good thing, as people who may be familiar with a couple of other express car wash places have issues with the line bleeding into traffic. Hopefully, this will be different here. They had someone helping at the pay stations, which I appreciated. Since they just opened yesterday (I asked), they were offering a very attractive price for my first car wash. I don't know how much longer they'll be offering that price, but it was a VERY good deal, which I appreciated, so I took the VIP car wash. Entering the car wash was normal, as were all others. Someone guided you, and there was a sign reminding you to put the car in neutral. My pro tip is to put the car in neutral before hitting the moving track and coast in. Right away, I noticed this track seemed to move faster than other express car washes, so don't let that alarm you. Inside, everything is very colorful about which treatment is currently being applied to your car. Of course, the soap on the windshield blinds you, so you don't see everything, but it was fairly typical. I was shocked that one of the side-spinning washers pushed my side mirror back. I'm not a fan of that. But then, the next spun in the opposite direction and pushed it back! Different, but OK. In addition to the heat blowers to dry your car, they have towels on spinny thingies (I'm sure there's a technical name, but you know what I mean). That was a nice tough, although the big roller that goes over you barely touched my hood. I could tell it was super soft, though, because it made no sound when hitting my car. Outside, the vacuums are not pretty standard for these places. Nice and strong. They don't have high-pressure blowers like other places, but had a cool place to hang your mats for easy vacuuming and also to make sure you don't miss the crap under the mat. I still had to dry off a few places, but I swear it was less places than other car washes. Even the hood that the last roller missed was dry. Still had to dry the side mirrors (which I made sure had popped back into place) and the back side of the truck is just hard to get so that needed some towel action, but overall, I'm impressed. One thing to know is there is only 1 way in and out of the lot, so when you pull out after you are done with the vacuums, make sure you head south to get back out to Tustun. (Suggestion if the owners read this, have signs pointing towards the exit as there isn't much room to turn around if you go the wrong way.) It is a little more expensive than the one up the street. I think I saw $9 for a basic wash and $24 (??) for the VIP. Don't quote me. I also saw monthly membership programs. Overall, a nice addition to the car washes on Tustin Ave. read more

They remodeled and it's under new ownership for the last year. Prices start now at $8. However I drive a Miata and they don't wash the car as good as the people down the street. I do like that the wash is newer and it feels like it's a better clean since the wash tunnel is longer in length. read more

I was paying for 2 cars on my subscription and after a few months, some of the washing parts weren't working and it ended up putting multiple scratches and damage to my car. I had to file a claim with my insurance and I will add the pictures to this review once I get the pictures from the body shop. Total Damage was over $4000. James the manager reached out so I will update review if and when it gets resolved. read more

Been going there for months and decided to finally sign up for the membership. Today I arrived and asked for a towel but was told to purchase one (which previously the workers would give me). Proceeded to pull forward and saw a whole box of towels there, giving me confirmation that this was something they do. Instead as I pulled away the employee stated "just go stupid". I reversed back, asked to talked to a manager and support in canceling my membership. Instead the lady stated she would be calling the cops. Orange PD got to see her lack of customer service. Definitely canceling my membership. read more

Not that good of a wash. Not all soap was cleaned off and weird film left in spots on car over the next few days. Had to get it re-washed down the street. Car in front of me got stuck in the conveyor at the e it and I almost hit him. Took awhile for someone to come and then they just waved him on as if they were irritated. Poor customer service. Average pricing. Not worth it - I've had better. Vacuum comes apart - not sturdy. read more

Awful! awful! Awful! Don't even bother with the manager. ZERO customer service, I paid for a car wash and they couldn't even do that. I gave the "manager" an opportunity to make it right and he refused. Instead he argued with me and basically said " you have a nice car you can afford to take it somewhere else" Refused to give me a refund, I paid for a service and I didn't get it. I will be contacting corporate. read more

First of all: the facility itself is fine. Very lower middle of the road machine drive through wash. The vacuuming area is actually very nice. Place to hold your mats and vacuum them, powerful vacuum hoses with long nozzles to get in nooks and crannies. The employees are also fairly decent, never been rude or had any issues, never extraordinary or outstanding but nice and cordial. Since the grand opening around half a year ago I have had the "basic" wash membership for $15-16 per month for my beater daily driver - 2013 Veloster Turbo. This car already has damaged paint so it's an easy quick wash and really signed up for the "free vacuuming" included with the membership. So today 5/28/25 I go to the car wash around 1pm and get my standard wash, when requesting a dashboard wipe (as I always do) I asked "I have another car and just wanna use the free vacuum, is it okay if I bring it?" The employee said "yeah it shouldn't be a problem just come later in the day when it's not too busy" made sense to me, they probably just don't wanna use a prime vacuuming slot for a non wash customer. Cool. I go home, wash my 1985 Toyota MR2, and once I finish I drive back to Orange Express Car Wash just to do a super quick vacuum. I pull up and the place is nearly empty maybe 2-3 other cars vacuuming. I pull right in and get to work, I've been at it for maybe 1 minute and I'm wrapping up the drivers side already and I hear shouting behind me. I look up and there is an older (late 60s) Asian man screaming at me "no vacuum! you get wash!!!" I calmly said "excuse me?" "I have another account, I was here earlier, I'm just using the vacuum really quick." He exclaimed "No! You need wash! No Vacuum without wash!" I said "listen man I pay to use this service. Who are you? Are you the owner?" He continued in his rage "No! You need pay car wash for vacuum! "No! I'm no owner" i explained again calmly "okay go get the owner or the manager because you're not making any sense" "no owner here! They go home! No manager here they go home!" He continued. At this point another employee a short hair (possibly Hispanic) girl came over and asked what's going on. I explained I have an account, I was here earlier, I was told I could come vacuum and this dude has lost his mind. She was nice and explained that technically a different membership is required to vacuum multiple cars on one account (something I was never told). I said "okay, if that's the case can you cancel my account?" She explained that no she couldn't and that only the manager who is in the morning could do it and also told me the old man Is the owner...I said "okay, while I'm still paying for this service today I'll just wrap up and cancel tomorrow" the old man screams again "No! You leave!" I said "call the police if you want, I'm going to use the service I paid for" I finished up and walked back over to the nice girl employee and gave her my other cars license plate and asked her to cancel my account in the morning because I won't be giving this "owner" any more of my money. As I'm going to leave I asked his name, he refused. I asked her his name and she refused saying "I'm new I don't know" and when I went to take his picture while he was yelling more he ran away. Spend your money how you like, but I won't be supporting people like this. I'm a local small business owner myself. If a customer did something like this in my company I'd calmly approach "hi there, in order to vacuum you need to have an account on the vehicle" "oh okay, well thanks for being a customer go ahead and finish up just next time know that do vacuum multiple vehicles you need the premium account, do you want me to sign you up?" Customer service ESPECIALLY from an owner goes a long way. You lost a loyal customer who you could have converted to a premium account. Now instead of my money monthly you get nothing and multiple bad reviews. All over a power trip, screaming and yelling over FREE VACUUMING. Do better. read more

There's a car wash down the street a little further on Tustin Avenue that I think I'm going to join. I have been coming here for several months to this location, and two of my vehicles they can't get my license plates correct in the system so I have to sit there and wait and wait and wait every single time for them to manually raise the gate for me. Two different vehicles? Why? On top of that, every single time I go through this car wash there are multiple brushes that are broken and not working. And then there are brushes that bounce around and don't even touch your car, like the drying brushes. These folks don't take care of their car wash and I do not recommend them. Go down the street and try the other place. At least they get things right and their car wash is always fully operational without anything broken. read more

Great customer service! came in the car wash this morning got signed up by Steven. He was a nice young man helped me out throughout the entire signed up process and I have been going for a while now and just realized it was a great deal read more

Would recommend this car wash again and again! I decided to go on a whim. I took my son's car in because it was SO dirty! I wish I took a before photo. All the stains from water and tree debris washed off and leaves got blown out of all the nooks and crannies of the car. I'm embarrassed to say how long it had been since his last car wash. Not sure what other posters' experiences were but I was stuck at the gate struggling with payment and the owner stopped what he was doing to come and help me. When I'm at a car wash I don't necessarily need people to cater to me, I just want competent people and a great quality wash. I wish this place was closer to where I lived but I will def make a trip out with my youngest son because he enjoys car wash tunnels and this one is at least 4Xs as long as others. read more

Orange Express Car wash - Look at the size of this place! - Car Wash Near Me - Orange, California

I've been a customer for over 7 months since the grand opening and have been absolutely annoyed by the service lately. Every time I go for a wash I leave with more and more scratches on the paint of my car. Mind you, my car is black so its much easier to see than on a white vehicle. Recently the attendant who helps you get onto the tracks wasn't paying attention and was on his phone until I got to the track where i was a little too far left and heard metal hit my car. When I got to a coffee shop down the street I noticed a crack up the entire driver side which needed to be replaced for $500 on a deductible. I didn't even bother bringing it up as Im sure they have some sign that says they are not responsible. BUT I will do everything in my power to make sure this car wash is shut down due to the other horrendous reviews and experiences like mine. P.S. As a heads up to everyone using this, they use a treadmill style track so there's no consistency like Fast 5 Xpress where there's a metal track that locks your vehicle to be 100% straight. There have been multiple times I have not been centered and could feel the heavy impact of the car wash machines. Like everyone else said, they will smack the f*ucking daylights out of your mirrors and bend them back every SINGLE time unless you close them. read more

Orange Express Car wash - Crack on windshield from attendant putting me too close to the left size of the car wash. Felt impact during cycle. - Car Wash Near Me - Orange, California

Generally, I don't ever write bad reviews since I figure what's the point but this place needs to go down for how they disregarded my request to follow up about damage to my vehicle. This was the second time my vehicle had damage. The first time only the license plate in the front was bent a lot but I was able to take it off and bend it back without any permanent damage so I disregarded it yet showed it to the staff at the wash who said that they would make adjustments to the machine. After another half a dozen to dozen washes I had problems again. I'm attaching photos of the damage caused by one of the spinning brushes. I noticed the damage immediately upon parking to vacuum out my vehicle. It was clear that it happened at that moment since there was a big black mark in front of my vehicle and I recalled that it seemed like one of the brushes hit the front of the car hard during the wash and upon inspection of the front of the car I noticed the license plate was bent again. This time the license plate backing/mounting plate was cracked. There were scratches to my front black grill and there were black marks that looked like they also damaged the paint on my front fender. When I told the car wash staff about the damage a manager sent someone over to take a report. They sent some young kid over who didn't seem to be very advised as to how to take down a report and took no pictures, even though I asked if they should. I was told to follow up using a email. After several attempts to connect via email I stopped by the wash again and asked directly for the manager. Manager then told me a different email address and said the other address I was using was incorrect, even though I had triple checked that I had the correct spelling for it when I talked to the kid who took the initial report. The second email given directly by the manager, to whom I showed what I was using as the email address while typing it into my email and where he confirmed that it was correct, I again got no response. I canceled my monthly membership and I went to another car wash down Tustin Avenue that seems to be good. I'll upload the estimate I received for damages totaling over $2000, when I can find it and take a picture. I highly recommend avoiding this place due to the problems I experienced. read more

Working at a car wash for over 10 years I have a lot of experience in what makes a car wash successful and there are a few reasons why this wash is not as successful as it could be! First the many different employees that work here are not friendly at all! Except one of my old employees that works the weekends! Adrian was trained on customer service but everyone else never smiles or friendly at all! When bringing my truck through we never get a top brush due to the fact we have a low truck rack on the bed of the truck. Even when taking off the racks, they turn off the top brush! There are settings that can be made to only do the hood and windshield, it's called a truck bed retract. I would consider looking into training and just those 2 things would help keep business. Good luck read more

I guess everyone has a different experience here but mine each time has been excellent. Got my car cleaned and dried with no issues. Very efficient vacuums and they have pressurized air to finish the job. I even left my driver mat and called a few days after and they let me stop by and check only to find my mat was there which was also a huge relief. So each to their own, I'll still be coming down and using their services. If I do have 1 complaint I just wish the tires and rims got some extra washing because they still had dirt on them. Nothing major since I can just clean them myself. read more

Their conveyor belt stopped in mid-wash. Our car rolled backwards into one of their pieces of equipment. (Of course, we were in neutral.) We took tons of pictures. They refused to give us the name of their insurance company. Our insurance company paid for the repairs minus our $500 deductible. Orange Express/their insurance company refuses to reimburse us for that. Of course, we never went back after this, but we had a membership. We gave them verbal and written cancellation of our monthly membership, but they continued to charge us for 3 more months. (Luckily, our credit card company reversed the charges.) I would give them a minus 100, if I could. read more

I guess, I thought I was being weird, but I see now, this place gets nothing but a bad wrap. .... First of all, the 2 young guys up front, were really cool. I went there night time. No issues with them. Half way through the wash though, I felt I got stuck. Even though, as instructed, I had it on Neutral, it wasn't going anywhere. The car in front of me, got out, but he was far ahead. I'm sitting there a couple of minutes,i trying to figure out if I should put the car into Drive, and move forward. All this time, I see this man, at the far end, staring at me, doing nothing..... So,.I put it in Drive. The car jumps, and starts moving forward. I put it back to neutral. I reach the guy at the end. It's an old Asian guy. I'm asking "was I doing something wrong?". He just waves at me, in discontent, to get out of the way. One of the rudest things, anyone's ever done to me as a customer. And definitely NOT helpful. read more

I would give a 0 if I could. When they first signed up they said it would be $8 for the month and if I wanted to stay signed on I could. I optioned out and just wanted to try for the month. I did 2 washes and found out three months later they are still billing me and at $14.99 a month. I have not used it since and they verified I have not used it and will not reimburse me. Furthermore the manager was rude about it. I live 3 blocks away but I will tell everyone I about this car wash and their customer service plus. Rapid express is $8 a month all the washes you want over on Tustin and meats. Better service and better car wash read more

Terrible customer service! Some lady walked up, started pushing on the screen. I told her i wanted the VIP monthly subscription n added that I did not want tire shine.

Wow ! This place took years to build but not to build customer service . Drove right up (now I know why) . First screen I came to you can't even see it due to glare and sun shining . So drove up to next screen where girl was standing (Sophie) . The print is tiny and I told her I wanted a wash with tire dressing . Since I could not see tiny print , I asked her which one to get , "she said I don't know which one but she said this one might have it included . It was the highest priced one and I said are you sure , she said no. So I proceeded to pay and could not reach the machine due to angle I was at and being in a truck . She just stood there , and watched me struggle. So I said, forget it , I've changed my mind , she said okay, I will let you out . What a helpless employee but that's what you get today . Your business is only as good as your staff. I went down the street and their lines were out to the street and with in minutes truck was being washed . That's service . read more
