We just had the absolute BEST car wash experience at Otto's Express Car Wash in Destin, and I can't stop raving about it! Pulled up to their spotless 34709 Emerald Coast Parkway location on a sunny Florida afternoon, and from the second I arrived, the friendly staff greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel like royalty. The whole process was a breeze--drove right through their state-of-the-art 130-foot tunnel, and my dusty SUV emerged looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor. That Tsunami Foam Bath and Carnauba Wax in the Ultimate Wash? Pure magic! Every speck of sand from the beach was gone, and the shine lasted through a full day of Destin adventures. What sets Otto's apart is the cost and little extras that make it feel luxurious: the free vacuums that actually vacuumed everything (no weak ones there!), plush microfiber towels, spotless window cleaners, and even a fabulous floor mat station to tackle those sandy messes that vacuum, shampoo and dry those mats! If you're in Destin, skip the old-school washes and head straight to Otto's. It's not just a clean car; it's a sparkling mood booster every time. You Otto try it--you won't regret it! Highly recommend to locals and beach-goers alike. read more

My car was damaged on the track inside of Otto's Car Wash in Destin (yes, there's footage). After initially telling me they were going to take care of it, they're refusing because two different quotes were $4,000 estimates (meanwhile, the owner is on vacation). So sorry that modern cars have cameras and sensors in the bumper! The attendant was working alone at the time, and told me so afterward and said he rushed me through because he was frazzled. Do NOT take your car through Otto's. If it is damaged, they'll give you a hard time, even though we all know they carry business insurance for this very reason. You'll be hearing from my attorney. read more

Fast easy and very good car wash experience ..I got the basic wash. Then free vacuum cleaning spray and towels available to wipe down my vehicle. Music playing through speakers as I clean my vehicle! I highly recommend!! read more

Nice job on truck washed with extra effort to get mirrors before they folded in and machines did good job on wheels. Like the vacuum and wipe stations with ample space for many cars. Best place to get wash in Destin area read more

Was an economical car wash,staff was service oriented and the free sweepers and drying towels were great!

Great car wash! These people work hard ! No complaints at all. Will come here again. 10 out of 10

Just got home and got out of my and it's still dirty in several places!! This is the second time this has happened here. They won't redo it if I don't come back now....on a Friday in 5 pm traffic!There are plenty of car washes around here even the $8.00 across the road does a better job DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! read more

Always great service, I do want to acknowledge one outstanding employee who showed true dedication in her job. The young ladies name is Octavia, she finally resolved my membership license plate issue. Octavia followed through with this ongoing problem until she found the problem and corrected it immediately! I cannot thank you enough! It's great customer service more businesses should take notice. Thanks! read more

Basic car wash is good. Used vacuum outside. Very handy. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzsss

Good location, nice service and fair price. Wash was as expected and the free vacuum was great. I have been here before and service was consistent read more

I took my truck there and it got scratch in several areas last year. I decided to give it a second chance with another new car I have, and same thing happened. The car wash scratched my brand new car in 3 different spots. Do NOT recommend this car wash! read more

Wish we had an Otto's at home. Every time we come to Destin we're amazed by Otto's. I like to get the bugs off the car after a long drive and Otto's is so thorough at prepping the car before you even go through the wash. The car comes out clean and sparkling. The vacuums have strong suction and the grounds are spotless. If you're looking to have your car washed in Destin, Otto's is the place. read more

Great setup! The machines are not too hard on your vehicle and they use quality products. Love the free vacuum and towels. I'll definitely swing by every time I'm in town. read more

Took our car here after arriving from Kentucky and it did a great job getting all the bugs off. And the guy helping us was from Danville, KY. read more

Good vibes, friendly staff that ensured we got a good wash! Nice location, everything was clean and good quality.

LOVE Otto's Car Wash! Best car wash I've ever been to! I travel all the way from Panama City Beach every other week to get my baby washed because of how amazing Otto's is! At first, I thought $20 was a little steep for a drive thru express wash, however once you receive the full experience, you'll realize why! It's definitely worth it. New equipment, top of the line vacuums, awesome products for the wash, my vehicle is actually DRY when I exit the car wash, and my tires are shiny and waxed! It's definitely worth it and I'll be a repeat customer as long as I live in north Florida! Thanks Otto's! :) read more

What a great car wash! After a fun beach vacation we were about to head home to Texas and didn't want to make the trek in a sandy vehicle. Stopped by Otto's to inquire how much it would cost to use the vacuums and was surprised to learn they were FREE! Great suction on the vacuum , a rug beater, free cleaning spray and fresh towels to clean with. I ended up driving though the wash after all and the $10.00 wash exceeded expectations. All of the above combined with friendly staff was very impressive! I wish I had one by my house in Austin! read more

I've never seen an automatic car wash do such detail with a prep area to start. They brushed around the license plate which can cause a streak if not cleaned. This is an attention to detail that is unusual in a quick $20 car wash. Nice towels to dry off too. read more

Great service - the staff were smiling and friendly. The wash was good, but the prices seemed higher than other places in the area. I'd still take this over the regional wash - although I don't think those guys have a location in Destin. Either way, a great place for a quick wash and vacuum. read more

This is the best car wash I've ever been to hands down. I use a similar car wash back home in Nola that I've always swore bye, but it doesn't compare with this set up. Wow, blown away! Will definitely be back when I'm in town. read more

It's an auto car wash for $20. Don't expect a full detail and you will be happy. Good results on very dirty truck!

We love Otto Car Wash in Destin, Fl. We have been members for two years. All the managers (Annie and Cole ) are so professional and personable. They work along side their workers and always have a great attitude. One of your new Emloyees Will is so nice. I was trying to vacuum but wasn't getting much suction. He came right over and assisted me with out me even asking. They solved the problem immediately so I finished up and was once again very pleased. Thank you all for great customer service! read more

We stopped in after arriving from STL (760 miles). We ran into a lot of bugs and were in desperate need of a car wash. We came across Otto's while we were picking up groceries. I have to say... this is one of the best car washes we have ever been to. The two guys working did a great job hand scrubbing the windshield and grill prior to going through the car wash. We will definitely be back during future visits. read more

Great facility! Brand new (only a month old) and a great wash. Free extra powerful vacuums. Complimentary self service mat shampoo machine. Reasonably priced monthly plans available which make sense if you like to get your car washed more than once a week. read more

My window was so dirty my mom thought it was from the inside after ottos car wash I can tell you it's not ! I can finally see through it thank you Ottos.‍ read more

Ricidulous. If your car is already clean they will clean it. They refused to wash my car because it was dirty. It's a car wash. I had sand on my car, in Florida and went to a car wash near the beach where they said they couldnt wash my car because the sand was bad for their machines. I Didn't go mudding or off-roading, just drove down a sandy road. Hey Otto, stop hiring spoiled kids that don't want to work. NOTE - there were no rocks at all on the car. Sand only no thick red clay. You run a car wash. In Florida. Where everything is sand. The next place down the road did it no problem and I tipped ''em nicely. Kick rocks with red clay and make more excuses. read more

Awesome Car Wash ! They are using the best technology on the market ! Love Otto's ! read more

First time at this car wash and pierce helped me with getting my membership and being very informative about all the different wash packages . I was able to get a car wash and including a sticker for my vehicle. He was also very patient and I appreciate his service for helping me out with any extra last minute services offered at this location. Def recommend here && also great music to keep you busy cleaning your car. read more

I'm only writing this review after having this same issue each visit.The guys that prep the vehicle before entering the car wash don't get all the bugs off the front of my vehicle or mirrors nor clean the wheels at all.Every time i get home i have to remove what they didn't and scrub off the front end and tires.Since you removed the prep area where customers could do this it's been an issue.When i buy a 27.00 car wash i don't think it's asking too much to have it properly cleaned.Please have the guys address this or at least open an area where the customers can do this like it used to be. : / read more

This car wash is NOT your grandpa's carwash! Otto's is on a whole other level of cool. Integrated speaker system built into the landscape is top tier. The wash itself gets it done and done right. Sure, self serves are okay but they really only serve the self...if you want your car noticed, spend the tad more for that privilege...oh and don't let the FREE VACUUMS fool you like the other places...im certain they are only free because they are powerful enough to pull the change right thru your clothing AND wallet!! All jokes aside 10 out of 10. read more

Great car wash. Everything you could ask from a drive through car wash. Friendly efficient staff.

The front of my car was covered in bugs, from driving down a country road at night. The girls scrubbed it and sent me through the wash twice to get them off. I was only charged for 1 car wash. Thanks Otto! read more
