    Ugh still dusty
    Lily H.

    I recently visited Pasadena Car Wash for the first time because I thought it would be a great way to save time and get my car cleaned inside and out. I chose the Bronze tier which ended up costing about 40 dollars once I added the tip. The process is pretty straightforward since you just leave your keys in the ignition and let them handle the rest. They vacuum the floors and wipe down the surfaces before sending it through the wash. The whole thing took less than 30 minutes which was much faster than I expected. While you wait they have a nice lounge area. They offer free coffee and light snacks which is a cool touch. They also have WiFi so you can hang out on your phone or get some work done on a laptop. The lobby feels like a convenience store because they have huge racks of greeting cards and gift bags for sale. However the actual cleaning was disappointing. Honestly I could have cleaned the inside of my car better than they did. It is frustrating to pay that much and still see spots they missed. It felt like a waste of 40 dollars in the end.

    千万不要来!黑心洗车行! I paid $37.99 for a car wash, but my car wasn't even cleaned properly. There were still water spots left on the screen inside the car, and many areas looked like they hadn't been wiped at all. To make things worse, they tried to sell me a $250 detailing service instead of simply finishing the basic wash I had already paid for. It felt like they were using a poor wash to upsell expensive services. Very disappointing experience. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

    Been coming here for years and its a nice place because, the service is nice, good amenities like cookies and couches inside and a wide selection of greeting cards and other car related merch to past the time. They do a decent job of get most of the grime of, but its a little pricey for me but its very conveniently located for me.

    Should have hit this with compressed air

    The good is, it's a very nice facility. I will come back and get the lowest end wash. I paid $51 for the platinum thinking it would get a little extra attention to detail. I understand I wasn't paying for a detail, but for the convenience of time, I was expecting more that I received. My car was dirty, it had been rained on and was pretty dirty inside and out. I was taking someone I respect out for lunch and wanted my car CLEAN. Be aware some people have differently levels of standards when it comes to clean. I was very disappointed and will get the cheapest version if I come back. The good news is, there wasn't much of a wait... the bad news is, it looked like a rushed job. And it wasn't even a busy Thursday morning.

    Who thought of this??

    Pasadena Car Was just increased their rates and I have a few recommendations that can possibly justify a $50 base car wash.... Overall I'm grossed out by their operations!! 1. Don't allow the lady to make the coffee with the water from the bathroom sink. Use your price increase to buy several gallons of clean drinking water. 2. Invest in a plumber. There's no way you're asking women to wipe themselves and throw their used toilet paper in the trash sitting directly in front of the toilet. 3. Invest in simple dryers. Leaving the car wash with water marks across my car defeats the purpose of my visit!!!

    Great car wash. Reasonable prices, and they do a thorough job in record time. They also have free coffee and cookies and WiFi. This is the ONLY place I'll take my car to get washed. 10/10 recommend.

    $70 to wash my hummer only to come and clean it again. This place is a rip off and their employees clearly cannot tell the difference between clean and not.

    For years I've came here to get my car wash when I can. It's a very nice upscale car wash with refreshments, quality seating area, and very clean inside. They take a while with your car and is very pricy, but I don't get my car washed as much, so at times it's ok. They do a really good job so that's always good! They are very uniformed, which I like because that shows professionalism. They also have fuel for your car if you need gas. Overall, I will continue to come! It's in a nice area and a very nice ambiance to sit and wait for your car. Also, they do everything you need. Side note: on Wednesday's they have senior day, which you receive money off your wash. You must be 62 or older though! The deals always make me happy :)

    Disgusting. You

    See all

    Quick and easy. The staff is always great and efficient. I've been bring my vehicles here for oil…read morechanges for years. Fyi, go to Costco for $25 off on $100 gift cards.

    TLDR: Drained my car of oil before quoting a ludicrous price…read more Went there for an oil change. The technician told me my car requires synthetic oil (it doesn't), so an oil change would cost $120? When I said it's never received synthetic oil in 17 years, the technician said they were out of conventional oil. I said, "Okay, no big deal. Nevermind." At that point, he changed his story and said conventional oil was in stock, but the oil change would still cost $90. I declined again. Only then did he tell me my car had already been drained of oil, the implication being that leaving without paying for a service I hadn't authorized was not optional. At this point, another technician came over and became confrontational, repeatedly asking, "You asked for an oil change, right?" When I told him I wasn't paying $90 for a simple oil change, he said, "Well you're going to have to pay for four quarts of oil." I then pointed out they hadn't put any oil in my car, so they couldn't charge me for anything. No service had been rendered. The technician then said, "Well, the manager just went on lunch. You'll have to wait until he gets back." I said I wasn't waiting for anyone, and I wasn't going to sit in my car indefinitely because they began work before providing a quote. I wasn't going to be strong-armed into a price I never would've agreed to had they been upfront. I told him I was calling the police. The technician said, "Go ahead, call them!" It was astonishingly unprofessional. The California Automotive Repair Act requires shops to provide a clear price estimate for parts and labor before beginning a job. Work cannot legally commence until the customer provides authorization. Based on my understanding, the events I experienced violated that law and my right as a consumer to make an informed decision before any repairs. Upon my mention of the police, another technician filled my car with enough oil to take it elsewhere where I got a standard oil change for $56 after tax. I would recommend avoiding this place, especially for those vulnerable to high-pressure sales tactics. I'll be reporting them to the Bureau of Automotive Repair.

    It's rare (unheard of, really) that I visit a business and leave with an experience that makes me…read moresincerely wish for its longevity, but that's how I feel about EZ Tire Stop. I stopped by in the AM for an oil change. I didn't make an appointment beforehand or anything, but they were happy to accommodate. But as it turns out, it was quite early for an oil change and I didn't need it. They reset my car system sensor so the alert disappeared and sent me on my way, no charge. This was my second time visiting, and I think it'll be my go-to for car maintenance from now on. I'll gladly support this business.

    Beware! Very Shady! Incompetent! Unprofessional!…read more Disrespectful! No Customer Service Care! No apology! Do not come here! I absolutely will sue them at the Pasadena Courthouse! Visited today 3/17/2026, after speaking with Matt the day before. I brought in brand new 21 inch Tesla rear wheels and Michelin PS4 tires for installation on my car. I drove over an hour from Chatsworth, California to this location so that they could use the Hunter Revolution machine, specifically to avoid damaging my wheels. Nevertheless, Matt, if it's his real name, severely damaged my new wheel near the wheel center cap area with the machine that was made to avoid this. How incompetent!!! He lied to my face and gave dull, illogical, dummy excuses about what happened. Bottom line: He damaged the wheel and would not acknowledge and take accountability for his actions. I had to call the police to make a record of this issue because I will be suing. The damage was caused because he did not apply the machine's plastic adapter when he clamped onto the face of the wheel; he clamped to the face of the wheel with metal to metal contact and severely damaged the paint. Sorry, nothing can improve ignorant people! See videos and photos.
