The Shell gas station car wash I normally drive thru in Buellton was closed due to either renovations or repairs. Thankfully I turned to Yelp for a secondary option, and Yelp delivered with Quick & Clean! This Quick & Clean Car Wash has self-wash stations available, however I'm too lazy for that. The automatic car wash entrance is all the way in the back of the lot (enter on the right and go around to the left rear). Upon entering, a friendly staff member assisted me (no automated payment machine is available when the car wash is closed). The worker accepts credit cards or cash. He also gave my pup a treat bone which was a nice gesture. Their pricing is affordable ranging from $8 Basic Wash to a $12 Ultimate Wash; not to mention a Manager's Special that was $15 and came with a microfiber cloth and car scent. The automatic wash was quite thorough, however, the dryer could be more powerful to improve the amount of excess water removed from the car's exterior. I always bring my own towel to drive windows and trunk that often have remaining water. Otherwise I'm super happy with this other local car wash option. read more

Did not meet expectations nor do I think that the web description of services offered are accurate. My car took two hours to complete and it is unclear why since nothing particularly special was accomplished. In the course of getting my car cleaned, the floor mats went missing and the tires and wheels were not treated. Paying $50-60 for this service is wasteful. read more

The do-it-yourself bays are terrible. Only one is questionably operational. The hose to the sprayer is taped up and spayed all over me when I tried to use it. No soap came out of the sprayer when selected. When I tried wax, it just shut off all together. The vacuums are in similar shape. Only two questionably work. It doesn't tell you how long you get for the price. But it is not very long at all. The only reason I have three stars is because the attendants for the drive through compensating me with a free drive-thru wash after the disaster in the pressure wash bay. They need to just shut down the rest of this place if they aren't going to fix it. I like to do business local. But this place has gotten gradually worse for several years. read more

They never open at 8 am. The employees are always late and the brush on the right side doesn't operate half the time leaving the right side of the vehicle not clean. read more

The unlimited wash is a game changer, I go all the time and I love having such a clean car! the people working are friendly. Great value!

Wow. Finally a coin operated car wash that is clean and kept up. Went to knock the bugs and grime off my truck after pulling my fifth wheel from up north. Place is really clean, their equipment works and they play great music. Kudos to the owner for taking pride in his business. read more

This car wash is horrible. The do it yourself part only works halfway. I got trapped in the continuous running of the hose when I didn't push the button to stop "correctly " and had to ask for someone to stop it for me. The pressure was the worst and my windows were left with a spotting residue that won't come off. Forget the vacuum, it barely sucked anything out. Plus there's no timer so you can get stuck paying for more than you want to spend the time getting your car barely vacuumed out. Skip this place if at all possible! It's a complete waste! read more

I went through the drive thru car wash and the attendant was SO rude. He didn't even say hello and then barked at me that me wheel was turned too much. Then he yelled at me that I didn't take my foot off the brake fast enough. Just really unpleasant. And then I got out of the car was and saw that I still had bugs and spots all over my car. A waste of $10. I won't be back! read more

This car wash always has the friendliest employees! I love that they scrub alllll the yucky buggies off of the front bumper and headlights-and also give the windows a good scrub before they roll you on through the wash. $10 is a good deal, as my car is always sparkling clean afterwards. There is never much of a wait, and it's a fast wash!! read more

We went to this car wash yesterday after spending about a week and a half in the desert with our new Subaru. It was filthy and needed a big time wash. The washing station was normal it was nice because they excepted credit cards there as well as cash or quarters. We went over to the vacuums they were slightly under powered but still worked. I went to get a chamois cloth out of the vending machine and it didn't fall out. I noticed one of the guys working there walking by and told him about it he offered to either refund my money or go and get one for me. He Was apologetic and went to get us a chamois cloth right away. Super friendly guy make sure we are taken care of. We will be back for sure read more

I used this car wash this morning, the first bay I used had a broken credit card reader. I went to the other stall used the credit card reader start to rinse and wash, out of curiosity I stop the car wash to see what they charged me because it only stated $3 to start. The credit card reader it charged my CC $57. I had rinse my car so I swiped my card again and it charged me additionally $40 for a less than 10 min car wash. Crazy highway robbery. Don't go here, reporting them to the BBB. read more

Every time I come here this car wash is broken. Today all 4 bays were inoperable for different reasons. I hope the owners sell this soon to somebody who cares about its maintenance. The valley deserves at least one decent self-service car wash. read more

I'm at my usual car wash and they've hired two undesirable gentleman that when asked for an extra scrub on the front and back of my car they asked for a little extra tip in order to do that. Why hire these scary dudes in a place where this service is needed!! read more

Quick And Clean Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Buellton, California

While on a family weekend getaway, my wife lost her phone while getting our car washed, again(She lost her phone at Disneyland smh). We tried calling it several times hoping to find it inside our car, but no luck. We called it a loss, AGAIN. We get home and a call comes from Justin. Justin? Well He happens to be the Manager of the carwash and found my wifes phone during maintenance of the drive thru carwash. How the #^$^ did my wife lose her phone inside a drive thru carwash? Good question. She left it on top of our car while putting our daughter in her carseat. LOL. No joke. That's how it went down. So Justin says he'll mail the phone to us, refusing a reward or even the cost of postage.. 3 days later My wifes phone arrives and Im like....Ok, so you're back mr phone, I wonder when you'll get lost again? LOL. Thank you Justin for you honesty and I hope you get a kick out of this review. Oh yeah. Our car was exceptional clean. Thanks for that as well. read more

Quick And Clean Car Wash - They found and mailed my wifes phone to us. Cant thank you enough for your honesty and of course, our car was beautifully cleaned as well - Car Wash Near Me - Buellton, California

Stopped by to wash my Tesla midday on a weekday. The stall I used had a broken cash receptacle. I figured I would use my card not realizing that there is an ongoing charge happening until I manually turned off that unit at the control panel. Other self-serve car washes I use, are timed and turn off automatically after the session is done. I feel ripped off paying $14.50 at this place to wash my own car! Beware! read more

Seems like everything is always broken. Ended up getting overcharged on self serve, and definitely not impressed with the drive thru tunnel part. The Shell gas station carwash down the street is the way to go. Save yourself a headache. read more

This car wash is great, I highly recommend the drive through. It doesn't leave any water spots, even the windows are spotless! The protectant they use in the wash keeps a mirror shine for weeks, good customer service too. This is the only car wash I'll drive through. read more

What a terrible car wash experience today! Drove through in my Toyota Corolla and near the end of the wash we heard a loud noise hitting the roof of our car. There are scratches in the paint all across the top of the car!!! Do not risk your paint job! Our family with 5 vehicles will never return here! Notified employees and filed a report but no action taken. read more

"I love that they scrub alllll the yucky buggies off of the front bumper and headlights-and also give the windows a good scrub before they roll you on through the wash. $10 is a good deal," That is another's review and has always been my experience as well Today I ran my car through and it was not until an hour later that I noticed the front of the car was not clean and I thought back to the attendant and remembered he had not gone to the front of the car for that step. I returned and simply asked him to run it again since it was not clean. He said he would charge me again for a job he did not get right in the first time. I asked if he remembered my visit " I never skip the front pressure wash, I think you have old bugs". He called the owner who said "charge him for another wash!" What would it have taken them to run the car through again. He may have unskilled help, but that does not mean they should put out an inferior product. No customer satisfaction here!!!! read more

Great hours. Reasonably priced. Quick. Gentleman was polite and did a good prep job. Oh and they accommodated the limo I was driving.

Don't even waste your time, you are better off washing it at home or taking it to Ceasars or any other local car wash. The brushes are filthy and you are pretty much making your car even more dirty than it was. The brushes don't even give you soap more like dirty water. This place used to be good but now it's gone completely down hill. read more

It pains me to write this because I know the owners do Charity car washes occasionally that support the community. I had 2 of my cars washed at Quick and Clean in Buellton last week. One car was washed in the automatic "tunnel" while the other I handwashed in a manual bay. The auto-wash itself was not terrible, but the young male employee did not do a good job of prepping my vehicle. I had paid extra for him to do the tires and this was not done. In addition, the front of the car was not prepped/brushed properly leaving most of the bugs on the grille (did not notice until I fueled up a block away). One non-motivated person is not enough to prep and ensure a good job is done. In Santa Maria at the 76 station on Broadway, they charge $5 instead of $8 and have 3 or 4 people working hard on your car including prepping and a hand dry after the forced air drying. How can a manual wash also fail? Let me count the ways. 1) 3 out of 4 wash bays were out of commission when I was there. They should rename the place "Slow and Dirty" 2) Confusing/lack of directions in operating the control console ($ or tokens? How much time will I get?) 3) No responsible staff checking on the bays. The lady in front of should never have been allowed to leave the detritus from her crap filled horse trailer all over the wash bay and drive off...inexcusable behavior that could have been corrected with a staff member. The lady was there half an hour and no one checked to see the mess she was creating. The paying customers should not have to supervise/police the operation. Sorry, but the lack of basic maintenance and staffing is a major fail in my book. I won't be coming back until things get better even though I live in the Santa Ynez Valley. I guess until things get better, I will be saving carwashes for the Costco run to Santa Maria. read more

great quick stop and go car wash, located right off of the freeway.
