Good vibes
Jose C.

I Showed up at 0655 and waited in line till about 7:20 and a very polite person took my order (I forgot to ask his name but it is always the same representative) I ordered the exterior wash SUV option $120+$15 tip = $135. Come early because it gets packed quick. I was the 5th vehicle in line at 0700. The car wash opens at 0730. Plenty of places to sit and wait both outside and inside. There is a cat, a bird and also a small waterfall with fish. Very clean and organized business. They offer some car products and refreshments for sale as well. They did a great job but some smudges on the grill as you can tell from the photo. Overall I always choose Pacific Hand Car Wash but I am looking for a mobile wash person since I feel like the staff is super rushed here. Thanks to the staff for all the patience!!

Ceramic coating full works
Matt V.

I had my car fully detailed at Pacific Hand Car Wash and I'm honestly blown away. Kevin and his crew are on another level. I did a full interior and exterior detail with ceramic coating and not a single detail was overlooked. They even cleaned the dust out of the air vents and shifted the car into drive to properly clean the leather around the gear selector. That is attention most places would never even think about. There was not a single speck of dust under the seats or anywhere in the carpets. The headlight restoration alone was worth it. They removed the oxidized clear coat and applied Kevin's own blend of sealant, and the headlights look brand new. You can tell this takes real skill and dedication, not just someone rushing through cars. What really impressed me was how careful they are. I watched a towel get dropped and it immediately went straight into the wash. No shortcuts. No laziness. Just pure professionalism. The crew is friendly, efficient, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. Even on a busy Sunday morning with about ten cars ahead of me, they finished in just a few hours. I have had full details done before, but Pacific Hand Car Wash exceeded every single one of them by far. Kevin clearly knows his craft and is great to talk to. If you care about your car and want it done right, this is the place.

Extremely impressed with the service here and would recommend it to anyone here in the South Bay! When I pulled up, the line was full of luxury and foreign cars, so I wasn't sure what to expect bringing in my Honda Civic. But they treated my car with the same level of care and attention as every other vehicle. I got both a wash and detailing, and the results exceeded my expectations. The biggest surprise was that they managed to remove all the stubborn micro glitter from my trunk--something I thought I'd be finding forever! My car looked spotless inside and out, and the attention to detail really stood out. Great service, excellent work, and they clearly take pride in what they do no matter what you drive. Highly recommend!

Came in for a detail today Kevin the owner and his crew went beyond expectations with clay wash and got rid of a scratch!

Missed spot. Just one of the few missed spots
Carlapot R.

Gave this place another try after a few months not coming here since the last incident/visit. Staff is always amazing and helpful, no doubt about that. But everytime I leave, there's always something -- water spots/residue, missed dirty spots, or worst, a tiny dent & scratch on my car. Prices went up like $10-$15 more but the job quality went down. They would usually clean everything, even the crevices, but today, (and the past visits) I guess they forgot? (I keep telling myself that every time I come here and would let it slide) For $60 exterior wash + tip...LOL. I might just go back to the one in SJ. Their service is waayy better and they always go the extra mile for you!

There's a reason these guys are rated #1 car wash in the Bay. If you care about your paint at all, this is the place. Actually great value for the kind of work they do. If I do all that solo, it would easily take me over half a day, but I was in and out in less than one hour. Wish I took before pictures, but was too embarrassed to even do that. Anyway, enjoy the end result from these pictures! Car feels brand new

Prices
Elizabeth M.

Come here to get my car wash and detailed. Prices are high but it leaves the car looking sparkling clean. Every time I bring it here, I get so many compliments. Will def be coming back soon!

Amazing service! Takes care of details and my wife was very happy to see how clean the car was. Her words " I haven't seen it like this since I bought it new out of the lot" Thank you Kevin and staff members for your services.

This is the spot to go to if you want your car washed and detailed. They have yet to fail me. The pricing is reasonable depending on what you are looking for. They have multiple people working on each part of the way. At the end where they dry it, they have 3 or so ppl depending on how big your vehicle is and you get to see them do the dry portion. I will say you may have to carve out an hour or so wait depending on how busy they are. I go first thing when they open. If they are that busy you definitely know they are that good...

Miguel M.

First time at Pacific Hand Car Wash and I was seriously impressed. I went with the Extra Clean Detail Wash and my SUV came out looking amazing--super clean inside and out, with the tires looking great too. What really stood out was the attention to detail. They clearly took great care of my car and even went the extra mile by attaching the license plate holder my dealer had left in the trunk. Totally unexpected and very appreciated. I'll definitely be coming back. Service was above and beyond. Highly recommend.

These guys are awesome! I would totally recommend taking your car here. I have a matte finish paint and they did a great job. Super detailed and wants it perfect. Made my grill shine

I had an amazing experience at Pacific Hand Car Wash! Kevin, the owner, welcomed me right away and helped me choose the best service for my needs. After coming back from a camping trip, my car was in rough shape, so I went with the Extra Clean package. The results were incredible! My car looks and feels brand new! The staff was friendly, professional, and paid great attention to detail. If you're looking for top-notch service and quality work, I highly recommend Pacific Hand Car Wash. I'll definitely be returning!

After so shinny!

See all

West San Jose

This is an awesome Chevron that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The team member working at…read morethe register recently told me that they sometimes (for safety reasons) have to close briefly (for approximately 15 to 30 minutes I believe) and so if you ever get here (in a pinch for gas of course) and they are closed, just wait a little bit and they will open back up again. What I love about this Chevron is that they have great gas and reasonable prices! You can use Amazon gift cards here same day too! You just purchase the gift card, send it to yourself, and download the Chevron app and use the app to pay at the pump. The Chevron App connects to ApplePay too, which allows you to pay at the pump with ApplePay. It's nice that they have a car wash and vacuums for your car here too. It's also very easy to get in and out of this gas station. It's a good gas station to mark for future reference (if you live in the area for example), just in case you ever find yourself in need of gas late at night (or anytime for that matter!). This Chevron is actually one of the few gas stations that I'll frequent these days. This part of the Bay Area isn't known for being very "night owl" friendly, so I personally appreciate the few places that are open late at night. Another thing that I appreciate about this Chevron is that it's right next to Safeway and this Safeway location is open until 2am (if I remember correctly). There is also a great Starbucks just across the street on the same side of the road. This allows you to kill a few birds with one stone!

This review is specific to the Ducky's Express…read more The two stars are ONLY for the employees being friendly and helpful, the entire rest of the experience with their car wash was not great. I bought a subscription and tried them out for a few months. Was not worth it at all. First off, the camera never once scanned my plate correctly and some one ALWAYS had to come do the plate entry manually. Second, the stuff they spray on at first to dissolve the bugs and sap and such, well they don't always do both sides, about half the time they hit the driver side and some of the back, only. Next, they do put the little rear wiper baggie on, but they do not have anyone to help you take it off, or a good place to park with easy access to a garbage that isn't always OVERFLOWING with garbage, or easy to get to if you are disabled. (Like, you literally saw I had disabled plates, either do not put the wiper condom on my car or come help me remove it and throw it away after.) Then the wash itself, is very so-so. It has the the drive on conveyer belt which I like, because the rail ones scrape my car. BUT it leaves a sticky film that makes cloudy streaks all over my car, and has now built up to the point that one of my windows is squeaking and catching on the weather stripping when I roll it down. (Managed to remove the film with foaming glass cleaner and a microfiber towel and help from a very nice friend who can stand up, so if you are having the same issue, that will help) However the other thing the sticky film does is attracts dirt, my car has never gotten dirtier faster than since I have been using this carwash, and I have enclosed parking at home, where my car spends much of its time. I cannot recommend this car wash at all.
