Love the turtles and the service! I've been coming here for over 20 years. Friendly, great car wash.

i've been coming here for years. i feel like the price went up and quality of service went down. makes me sad because i adore this place. i prefer supporting small businesses and i love all of the animals they take care of. that's what keeps me coming back. i just got a service done this week and was a bit disappointed with the work done on the car. i had to leave in a hurry and upon further inspection, my windows were streaky, the inside was still slightly dusty, and it seemed like a rushed job. all in all, i love supporting this business but would like to see more consistency like i did years ago. read more

Pacific car wash is a nice place to get your car with a nice inside out cleaning but boy is it interesting! The employees were friendly but the location was like something out of Tiger King. There is a mini swamp inside where you go to pay. Turtles, Koi fish, and birds! The smell, not great but for the price and service, it was pretty good! My car was looking wayyyy better which is what it needed! read more

Ive been here a few times and am satisfied with the service and cleanliness of my car each time. They do a really meticulous job at cleaning and vacuuming my car (even with pet hair) If you come by during the week, they have daily specials and just know that there is a wait even on the weekdays (that's how good they are!) As every other yelpers mentioned, they have a large turtle/koi fish pond from where you drop off your car to the waiting area so you can spend your waiting time turtle watching. I've only been here twice but will definitely return for more car washes in the future read more

Didn't end up walking out with a clean car. Staff and ambiance is good though. If you are okay with good state, not a better state, then I would say Yes read more

I recently went to Pacific Car Wash for a basic car wash which was about $42.99. I thought it was a reasonable price so I decided to proceed with it. Staff is very nice and made the experience easy going. I do want to state I did go towards closing time and I appreciate them still taking my car in. The reason I am rating it few stars is that they didn't vacuum my whole car like I thought they would. I understand it was close to closing time so maybe they were trying to leave soon. I will definitely go back another time when I need but also state that they need to vacuum my entire car. read more

All I have to say is - I hope they let that poor parrot out daily. It looks so sad. Their prices went up and quality is good, not great. Prob my last time coming tbh read more

Been coming here my whole life and they always do an amazing job. The best part is the Parrot. Good value. And they go above and beyond when you ask for special request. read more

Honestly one of the best car washes I've ever been to! Super quick, super clean, and amazing attention to detail. My car looked brand new when they were done! Totally recommend - now I get all the great reviews read more

They do a solid wash in a way that I would describe and a hybrid hand-wash / drive-through. The price includes vacuuming and wiping down the interior and an external hand wash. The next level up includes a spray wax (similar to the spray wax in complete drive-thru like at a gas station). For a few dollars more you get external "armor-all" treatment and a few more sawbucks get you the internal treatments I did the Deluxe wash which is now around $41 - sorry I didn't take a picture of the updated prices. I would have done the Ultra which adds the interior & exterior "armor-all" treatment, but I was a bit short of time. The wash was good, as was the vacuum. The whole process took about 20 minutes. They have a fun and interesting waiting area with a long narrow river like pond filled with koi and turtles. They also have a few snacks and drinks for sale. Also available are higher end services like full hand wax, leather treatments, shampoo carpets, engine washing, etc. read more

A manager/owner of the place tried mean mugging and yelling at me saying there is no bucking washing while there's a line. We came in when there was no line, matter a fact the car wash is done through time, if I'm paying for the time I guess I can bucket wash. Ridiculous behavior and the line he was yelling about was only one car and a spot literally became available. Pricing is fair. $8 gives you 10 minutes. read more

These guys really get in there and clean the inside and outside fairly well. Only a few times we had to point out spots we missed but they are more than helpful making sure it gets fixed read more

Pacific Car Wash - Updated specials May 2024 - Car Wash Near Me - Fremont, California

I came here on a Friday afternoon and the place was packed. I was informed the wait would be about 50mins to get my car washed. I appreciate the heads up and was ok with it, so I went ahead with the wash. The car wash went great, except near the end when a lady came to manually wipe the windows and insides of the car. There were several spots that she missed on the car seats and the console was not properly wiped--there were still fingermarks on it. There were also several spots that she missed on the exterior. When I asked her if she could address those areas, she took a look at me and said they couldn't be removed. I was later able to remove them fine with my fingers, so it was clearly removable... she simply decided not to do it. The only other redeeming quality about this place is that it's affordable. If you're fine with paying a low price for a mediocre job, then come here. read more

Horrible job. All they had to do was wipe the milk stain off the window and inside, but they didn't so I had to go in with a wipe and just wipe it. It's as though the lady in the hat didn't even wipe her half of the car! Not a good value at all. read more

Its hard to find a good hand car wash nowadays. I badly needed to get mine washed so I decided to try this place. Weekday lunch time and this place was not busy. I was glad. The service was good and quick. Car was cleaned but its not up to par. Waiting area is big and has a good amount of seats and tables. Not bad. read more

Used to be good before company changed management. Workers missed 25% of the car, leather interior dressing wasn't even applied properly. Swirls and oil spots left everywhere. Completely dissatisfied. read more

I asked for them to vacuum the floors seats and back. Nothing happened and after I told them repeatedly that there are hairs from my pet and wanted the service covers seats and floor they said $50 package would cover it. Then they wasted 45 minutes doing nothing except wiping the dash. Also after the guy I talked to wasn't there they said they don't do seats with that package when literally that was the only reason I came. Will not be coming back. read more

A very interesting car wash! I have never been to a car wash before with so many animals- theyhave a koi pond with koi and turtles. They also have several bird cages, and one bird will say hello only when you leave! A good amount of seating is available inside, and not so much on the outside. I came on a Saturday at around noon, and it was really busy. It took almost 2 hours for my car to get washed. In all fairness, I picked the $40 cash wash which requires the car to go through twice (had snow stains on my car). So, cost wise, your options are $30, $35, $40, and $45. There are no coupons to the best of myknolwedge. But I can tell you that they seem to take their time on the cars, rather than just hurry through it if they see you waiting. read more

Located in the Irvington part of Fremont, the workers do a great job cleaning my cars - inside & out. They are fast too but come early to beat the rush. And while you're there enjoy their indoor fish & fowl sanctuary. You'll be sufficiently impressed. I'm typically there at 9 am because I want to be in & out in a jiffy, but there were times I couldn't get there early so walking over to Starbucks for a cup of tea is a good way to unwind too read more

Fast, good price, and service was perfect! Minus 2 star due to the fact that the waiting area is kind of dirty/old. They have a lot of birds and it kinda smells in there too. There was a guy in front of me rolling a blunt and it smelt like weed in the whole waiting room. read more

I've been going here for their basic full-service car wash (exterior wash, dusting and vacuuming interior) for years, and my family takes their cars here now also, they do a beautiful job! They do a hand wash at the start and then run it through a rinsing machine and then do a hand dry and detailing. They're super careful and they take the time that they need to get it perfect even if you have bird droppings or leaves on your car or you've been neglecting it a while. They do a great job with the door frames & trunk door frame and don't leave a bunch of dirt or water there. This is just the basic service, they have a lot more fancy services that they offer. Never had a bad experience, I just haven't thought about leaving a review until today. Took my mom today to get her car detailed as a Christmas gift. Sweet staff and also fun to see the turtles and fish and parrots and cats in the inside office. read more

Came here because I needed to get my husband's truck detailed because he's a construction worker and his car gets very dirty; therefore I went for the ultra car wash! It was about 47 bucks plus I gave them a $10 tip. It's a little details as I pictured in my pictures that really grind my gears! On top of not really washing the outside back window. They can do a much better job vacuuming as well! There's nothing like lifting your mat and there's still dust coming out of the mat? read more

Really terrible service! I paid 200 dollars to do a general cleaning of my car, everything apparently turned out very well, I understand that there are some things that cannot be removed (stains on the seats) but leaving remains in the glove compartments without vacuuming and that can be seen with the naked eye is something That can't be possible! You're supposed to be paying one of the best cleanings to come out with that you can't even vacuum the trash! I definitely don't recommend it! read more

Believe the bad reviews. They are true! Save your money and go somewhere else. Just got my car "hand washed" here and it is still dirty (see pictures). I did not check my car before driving away, which is my fault, but now they've lost my trust and my business. read more

I've been entrusting my car to Pacific Car Wash for about three years now and have been quite satisfied with their services. After my usual place stopped offering hand car washes, I searched for an alternate facility and found this place. My car is eight years old and has only been "machine-washed" three times (not by choice). Having a dark paint job, micro-scratches (which are, sadly, inevitable) are more easily visible, but the team does a great job of making the paint look and feel like new. The car still gets compliments despite its age. Thanks Pacific Car Wash! read more

Got the deluxe wash, which is now $35.95. They did an okay job with washing, but wasn't very thorough. There was still a bit of dirt behind my side mirrors and the windows weren't dried well because it left behind quite a bit of water stains. The interior was cleaned nicely, vacuumed up all the dirt and debris inside and used a very nice and subtle air freshener. For the price, I wish they were a bit more thorough with their cleaning. read more

My car came out fresh clean, and spotless. The only thing I would suggest is making sure that it's easy for the customer to know where to enter and to have a bit of a more organized/cleaner entrance, but otherwise really great experience overall.! read more

Very nice place with a beautiful koi pond in the waiting area. My car after a full service is clean and shine inside out. Will go again!

I paid $50 with an expectation they will clean and wash my car from dust, stains, dirts and etc. I was thinking with 3 star I can get a 3 star cleaning service and result! The exterior was not thoroughly clean. The interior: they did not vacuum everything. The dashboard was left dusty. The back seat was still stain and dirty. Gosh!! SMH!! I am not HAPPY!! I can clean it better with $50!! read more

Definitely my go to spot for a carwash for the past couple years. The employees do a detailed clean and work efficiently. The inside of the store has a lot of character and is quite quirky, but I never personally waited inside for my wash to be complete. Always drop my car off and come back in 30mins and my car is sparkling clean for days! FYI I've only purchased their cheapest package on each of my visits. Only complaint is that hours of operation that are listed aren't always accurate. So would recommend swinging by only if your local or call ahead maybe, just in case. read more

I remember this place when it had tons of birds in it. I recently moved back to Fremont and I needed my truck washed so I decided to go towards nostalgia and revisit this place after so long. Everyone was nice. The cash register tenant grabbed me a chair since I am walking with a cane so I can sit at the disabled table. I tipped the gentleman who took my detail order which was the $45 option. The top of the options. He vacuumed my suv thoroughly and got all my rcrumbs and stuff I dropped during the week. Her told me it was about a 45min - 1 hour job. I had no problem with it knowing I chose the top of the line wash option. Now, I know they offer full detail jobs for well over $120. I didn't need that. However, when I got home, my rims were still dirty, windows had gunk on them still, side mirrors were still dirty, passenger windows had gunk on them still and front windshield had major streaks. I also tipped the gentleman who dried and wiped my suv. I am enjoying the Lemon air freshener. Very refreshing. I added photos/videos of the dirt left on my truck. I will not be back. read more

My first time here and they did an amazing job cleaning my car. I got the Ultra wash with mini-detail. I like that the layout is unique, with the fish long and the cat. A bit outdated and of course smells come with the indoor pond, but I'll be back again and appreciate the job well done. read more

This was the only car wash place I ever went to because they always did a great job. I'm not sure what it was about today and the last time I went before this, but I was pretty disappointed. I just came back from a camping trip so I knew my car needed the wash. I paid for a super wash (Monday special for the price of a deluxe wash). Exterior of the car was great as usual, along with the wheels. But the inside.. definitely wasn't vacuumed as much as it should have been and interior didn't really seem to be wiped especially my car mats!! I could swipe my finger and the dirt would come off, so that told me they weren't even touched. Interior doors were not wiped and neither were the cup holders. I wasn't super bothered by the driver's car mats, but the trunk really did it for me. I didn't noticed the rest of it until I got home..bummer. For paying $35.. wasn't worth it. read more
