The cargo area wasn't vacuumed.
Chris C.

Quick update to this review: I was reading other reviews, and one person mentioned that people complaining about their trunk (cargo area) not getting vacuumed shouldn't because they don't vacuum trunks, supposedly like every other place. I checked Royal Spa's website, which says they'll clean the interior. Perhaps they don't consider a car trunk to be "interior," but a cargo area IS "interior" in an SUV. If it isn't, then why did the employee working on my car open the back? What was he doing in there? If they don't vacuum cargo areas, they need to specify it on their website. I'm not sure if their signs say it at the location, but next time I go, I'll be sure to look. Either way, it still doesn't excuse the poor wipe down the cargo area received, and it doesn't explain why the cargo area has indeed looked vacuumed in past visits. Initial review: I've been here a few times and have been mostly pleased by the location and service. Today was an exception. I arrived on a Saturday in April around 1:15. I expected a long wait based on the amount of cars I saw, but was pleased to know it would only be about 45 minutes, which it was. The location is clean, stocked with food, drinks, and pastries and has many chairs, so I was comfortable. The purchased the Royal wash, their highest package. At $45, the price is good, but I didn't know there was an extra charge for my vehicle size, a midsized SUV, until I questioned the total at the checkout register. The extra charge wasn't bad, about $5. I've encountered the cashier several times, and she isn't very welcoming, although she does and good job keeping the waiting area in order. As for the final product, my vehicle looked good inside and out except the cargo area. As shown in the attached pictures, the cargo area wasn't vacuumed (or if it was, it wasn't done well). I saw the person handling the vehicle interior open the cargo area, so it's not like no one noticed that it hadn't been vacuumed. Further, while his job might not have been vacuuming, he was responsible for wiping down interior panels, and clearly missed sections in the cargo area. (I would have mentioned all this to an employee before I left, but I didn't notice the oversight until I returned home and put something in the cargo area.) He didn't seem to notify anyone that the cargo area hadn't been vacuumed. Also, there was a small piece of trash left in a handle in the cargo area. I had cleaned out the interior of all trash prior to arriving, but perhaps I overlooked this one. Removing it would have been a simple, one-second task that no one bothered to do. Sure, perhaps they overlooked it, too, but it's one of several things they overlooked, which adds up to poor overall attention to detail on their part. I paid for the top tier service, plus an oversized vehicle fee, and tipped, and received less than stellar service. I would have given two stars, except for the fact that I've been here before and was pleased with prior service. If the cashier can be more welcoming and the team can pay closer attention to details and check with each other if a tasked is overlooked, they could easily provide five-star services. I will return to this location, and I'm sure they'll do better next time.

Large dirt streak in the middle of hood.

Kind of upset I paid $40 to have to wipe under the sides of my car, as well as the giant dirt streak the guy left on the hood. Not really sure how you miss that.

I have no idea why yelp deleted my review but here I am posting it again because there's zero reason why it should have been taken down in the first place. I went to this location for close to 5 years. I used to love it. It went downhill. I paid about 40 dollars plus a 10 dollar tip for this awful work. Avoid this place at all costs. I'll keep posting this review if you keep asking yelp to take it down lol. You can't hide bad business, but nice try! Maybe try doing the work properly for the ridiculous prices you charge. A 9 dollar gas station wash does a better job than your employees do lately. The fact that you're taking down negative reviews just shows how desperate you are!! And I agree with the other negative reviews, they are very rude here as well.

This is my favorite place I go to get my car hand washed! Everyone else is express. Customer service is excellent and they do a really good job on making my car look its best!

Got my car completely detailed here for $250. So it wasn't as bad as it seems but there were some things that got under my skin. I paid for my seats to be shampooed and some stains were still left on the seat. All my seats had some kind of lint of some sorts left on them. I paid $220 for my floor mats and I don't know how they cleaned them, but now they're bent and look uneven in my truck. The exterior was washed well although whoever dried it needs a clean towel as some spots had dirt from the towels. It took 4 hours so I just took an Uber back to my place instead of waiting inside where it's hot. I think with just these minor easy fixes they can stand out against the competition but it's Palmdale so not much to expect Overall, the job was done somewhat decent. The annoying cons were definitely the lint and my mats now not fitting. Might take it here next time and give them a second chance to fix these issues. Will update when I do.

The loud Mexican music here was absolutely horrible. The work was well gone but the music was so loud and very unprofessional.

AV Car Wash & Auto Spa - I paid for armor oil and it looks like they either didn't do it or used a watered down solution cause there's really no gloss!

I don't understand why these reviews are so bad. This car wash is the best in Palmdale! I got my…read moreNissan Altima washed here. It's black, so i'm always trying out new car washes because it's absolutely difficult to remove the water stains. Yeah the place isn't very clean, but so what? It's a car wash! The place washes dirty cars. The carwash does need a little up keep, but I don't think people should expect anything fancy when it comes to the building, unless they want to pay big money to get a simple car wash. My wash cost a total of $19.99, which included shampooed seats, armor all on my dash board and tires, and air freshener! It was a pretty good deal! I wasn't pressured to get the most expensive wash at any point of being there, so there was no annoying upsetting. The customer service is great and all the workers are very helpful! I was greeted by most of the workers as I was sitting to wait for my car to be dried. It took about 20 minutes for my car to be washed, and it was worth the wait because they actually wash every inch of that car! Plus these men are in the blazing hot sun hand washing the cars. If you're in a rush to get a wash or don't care how great of a wash you get, then this place is not for you, because these men dedicate themselves to making sure you leave the building with a car looking like new! My Nissan was washed spotless clean and i saw not waterworks on the paint. I also checked the prices for an oil change, in case I ever wanted to go back, and the cheapest one was around $30, therefore I believe that's a reasonable price for an oil change, plus there's a car wash included. On my first visit, I personally didn't use the restrooms, and so I can't say if they were unsanitary or not. I did go into the store where the cashier was, and it was small, a few racks with merchandise and miscellaneous items. The store was clean, and I saw nothing dirty. What will make me go back to this car wash is not only the prices but the customer service and the way the workers handle the cars with care. I haven't been able to find a good car wash here in Palmdale, but I think I finally found my new favorite car wash!
