    At the carwash!
    Andrew C.

    The staff here is great. It's right off the exit I get off by my house so it's convenient. They also have cool setup to get water out of hard to reach spots. Great deal for what they charge.

    Love these soft towel rollers to help dry your car!

    I believe this is the 4th Rapid Express Car Wash, so they must be doing something right. I have the monthly plan, and there was no problem reading my license plate. Kudos to the nice guy who waved when I pulled up to the kiosk. It's smaller than the other 3 I've visited, with only one side of vacuums, but they have probably the longest areas for cars to line up, so hopefully no one will block Ball Road like the one on Tustin Ave. Pulling into the car wash is different from the others in that there's a little incline rather than a nice slope. I usually put my car in neutral and roll onto the track, but here I had to keep it in gear a little longer before putting it in neutral. The first thing I noticed was how smoothly the load was put onto the track. No bumps, no feeling of the tires settling into place, nothing. It was beautiful. They also have roller towels to help dry your car, which I love! (If you ever want to install those on your Tustin Ave location, I wouldn't cry, as that's the one closest to me.) The vacuums are the same as those in other locations, which is great. Be aware that when you leave the lot, you have to turn west onto Ball Road. Otherwise, I have no issues.

    Brand new car wash spot! * You can get your first month for just $1, which is a great deal. * The materials they use feel softer, so it's gentler on your car paint and reduces the chance of scratches or damage. * The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. * I really like that the track to guide the car is flat, instead of the kind that pushes your wheels--feels smoother and easier to drive through. One small con: The most convenient entrance is off Exit 3 from the 57, turning right onto E Ball Rd, so depending on where you're coming from, it might take a little extra planning.

    Photo from a week prior with damages supposedly already present. Vehicle clearly is without damages.

    During the visit, the site mgr shows me footage of my vehicle leaving the tunnel, the date of the incident and "without damage." Keep in mind, this same site mgr emailed me a photo of my vehicle from a visit a week and two days prior supposedly damaged. Additionally, the cameras at the entrance of Ball Rd, the same cameras that I requested footage from, supposedly "have been offline." The relevance of this footage is huge since this angle would have captured the front end of my vehicle from a where the lighting hits from different angle. Quite the coincidence that this camera was offline. This organization has done everything possible from being deceitful to furnishing inaccurate information simply to support their inaccurate denial. To this day, the organization has not allowed their carrier to complete proper investigation nor have they shared any carrier information. I simply don't understand how my vehicle, according to this organization, has supposed damages a week prior to the date of this incident, yet also leaves their tunnel without damages ON the day of this incident. With that said, please exercise caution with this organization and ALL LOCATIONS as all locations have the same equipment that damaged my vehicle. Use my experience to your advantage. Thank you for reading.

    squeaky clean!

It was my first time here and was quite excited to bring in my worst condition car for a spa treatment. I was recommended the $200 detail package to help my really bad water spots on my car. They told me my car will be taken care of and will look brand new once finished. I was hopeful. Whole process took just about 1 hour and 45 mins even though I was told 1 hour. All good. It's manual labor work so I rather they not rush through it. After receiving my car back, she definitely sparkled in a way where she hasn't sparkled in years. It was my first time getting a proper detail for her. But upon closer look after I left, she still had water spots on her in some areas. :( I attached some photos. I feel attention to detail could be improved to keep a long term customer. I do want to mention the good things I expended here to be fair in my review. The inside waiting area was air conditioned and comfortable. The outside waiting area is also very spacious. The workers here are also all nice. Since it was my first visit and I got one of the most expensive packages here, unfortunately the results didn't fully deliver. The biggest concern was hard water spots when I brought this car in but it was not fully resolved.

I used to hire a mobile vendor, but there were too many inconsistencies, and for the same amount I was paying them, I get far better quality and care here. Manager Gavin and Detail Master José always take care of my truck and make it look car‑show ready. The amount of detail José and his team put into their work under Gavin's supervision is unmatched. I leave knowing my truck will shine for days, if not weeks. I always get the Executive Wash Package because it's well worth it. There's no other way to go -- the results speak for themselves. And it's a must to tip José and his team; they take their time and pay attention to every single detail. Bringing my truck here has become part of starting my weekend the right way. If you're looking for a true 5‑star hand car wash and detailer, this is the place. Trust me -- you'll leave knowing your vehicle will outshine anything else on the road. And you know how some car wash places leave streaks of water when you roll down the window? Not here. Not with José and Gavin's team. They remove water from every nick and cranny. The quality is consistent every single visit.

The customer service at this location is horrible, especially from the employee with glasses who was working today. He was rude, dismissive, and gave me attitude when I was already dealing with an issue caused by THEIR car wash. I came here expecting a quick wash, but the wash had an emergency stop while my car was already completely drenched and covered in soap. This is now the THIRD time I've experienced an issue like this at this location. What really pushed me over the edge was the employee having the audacity to tell me to just go to another location while my car was STILL COVERED IN SOAP. He suggested the Anaheim location as if it were right down the street. Why should I have to drive to an entirely different location with soap all over my car because your equipment stopped working? I was so frustrated that I asked him to cancel my membership, and instead of helping me, he basically told me I had to go elsewhere to do that too. No effort to resolve the situation, no apology, and no consideration for the inconvenience whatsoever. I've paid for this membership for over a year, and having repeated equipment problems is frustrating enough. Being met with attitude and terrible customer service on top of it is unacceptable. After three separate incidents, I'm done giving this location chances and will be taking my business elsewhere.
