    Terrible experience here. Owner has a terrible attitude and no customer service. Extremely disrespectful to his staff and customer. Attempted to address an issue and he didn't care said that's what I payed for and that's the work. I payed for deluxe car wash that includes tire and interior dressing. I elaborated that it was not completed. He apologized and went on to make derogatory remarks about Mexicans. SMH. I clearly told him that he should respect his workers as they show up for him. Seems that that remark only fueled him more. Terrible experience, I was dropping off another car so I told him to cancel the detail and refund me my money.

    First time customer was driven by this place my whole life

    They did a great job cleaning my car. The interior looks beautiful. I think it was a great deal for $45. I will definitely go back. This was very convenient for me. Five stars.

    Scratches on paint

    Pros: not expensive and was relatively quick. Takes card as payment. All staff are really nice. Cons: scratches left on brand new car, first wash ever. Scratches were not there prior to bringing it in. Windows were left streaky on the inside (I had to re-clean them). Smudges also left on exterior. Called to speak to someone about it but no answer.

    This is such a great deal. Was in desperate need of a car wash and since I'm an early bird, I got the special. Mondays and Tuesdays from 8-10am, basic wash is $8.99. $3 extra if you have an SUV. Didn't really expect much for that low of a price but they did a great job and didn't cut corners. Great value for the money and will definitely be back any time I'm in Downey visiting the parentals. Appreciate this deal considering everything nowadays is so expensive. Make sure to tip the guys working extra if you can! Times are tough and everyone needs all the help they can get. It's about supporting small businesses.

    great customer service. angel and luis left my car spotless. Car was muddy from the rainand they left it looking brand new.

    Much better than a pricier one in the area. Second time here and will likely keep on coming back.

    Don't go there. 1 hour from vacuum to exit the carwash. Probably another 30-40 minutes to finish. They have no staff working.

    I came in to get my regular car wash and asked Sam if he could spray some air freshener on the carpet.

The fact that I trusted them with my mother's car should say a lot about the level of confidence I have in their work. This place is phenomenal.

I now bring my car in biweekly for washes, and the consistency is always top tier. The staff is friendly, communication is clear and professional, and the overall experience is always smooth.

I spoke with the owner, Carlos, and instead of trying to upsell me into the most expensive package of a FULL DETAIL, he honestly recommended the Mini Detail! based on what my car actually needed. That alone earned my respect! The car came out amazing. The seats looked refreshed, the paint had a beautiful shine, and the whole car honestly felt almost like I had just driven it off the dealership lot again. Super satisfied with the service, fair pricing, and professionalism. Definitely coming back.

My first…read moretime, when we first got the car (it's now almost 3 years old) it was a bit tricky getting the car into neutral being a non electric car owner for 30 years. However, after that-No issues. Till today. I usually wear my seatbelt while going through (this is important to note) and wipe down my car. This time I didn't and didn't think anything. I was cleaning and the car kept going into Park. The older man at the entrance of the car wash was yelling at me to keep it in Neutral. I was telling him it was but that I think the machine is doing something g to put the car in Park. I got it heck into Neutral and he started it again. Same thing-Went not even a full tire rotation in the car wash and boom, Park. Now he throws down the water hose he had on his hand, slams on the emergency shut off and starts talking ish under his breath. I open my door and ask for someone (else) to help. Sorry sir, yo entiendo! Rude. I tell him again, I'm not doing anything. Another man comes (he's shorter and younger and always VERY nice when I'm here) and he tells me it's cause I opened the door. I said no. It did it before that and I wasn't going anything to the car. I said come inside with me. He said, don't worry. Then he said are you moving. I said, yes. I always do. Then he said your seatbelt! I said, what about it. He told me when you take it off and move, the car will do that. I said ohhhh. Thanks! They restarted and in fact, if you have your seatbelt on and move-No big deal. But take it off and-You can't move if your car will auto Park. That older man was plain ol rude and not cool. If I was a younger person, that would've made me freak out and possibly cry. Be better.
