I have been getting the monthly membership for $20. It's great. I can run my car through as often as it needs. They are always busy, but this time I was able to just drive right up and it scans the barcode on your windshield. I already need to go again. Darn birds! 8/19/25 read more

I have been a Sail Thru customer for a very long time. I have encountered several different employees over the years. In the very long history of attending I have been a single purchaser and a member. Both are a great value. I do wish their were air houses to blow out cracks in my car. I will also note that the vacuums seemed to work better at my last visit. What REALLY TOOK MY VISIT OVER THE TOP THOUGH, WAS CHRIS!!!!! CHRIS! You a re and exceptional young man. You were so kind and helpful. I wanted to pay and go through again! Thanks so much very greeting me, lining me up and offering service with a kind smile and positive attitude. Because of you I am signing up for membership again! Can't wait to say hi there next time I sail through. read more

Excellent Car Wash, the service here was nice and the workers were kind. The price is also good and have no complaints here.

I ran my vehicle through two times, it never came clean. So, I just gave up. This is my first time using the one in Tehachapi. I've used Sail Thru dozens of times at other locations, without all the issues. read more

I have the monthly plan here, unlimited washes and it comes with free vacuuming. I love the hours, 7-7 so I can go before work. I also like that I can drive through a scanner and automatic gate and don't have to check in with a person each time. read more

Sail Thru Express Car Wash - Half assed job "washing" vehicles & then drags his brush all over the ground while he waits. - Car Wash Near Me - Tehachapi, California

great customer service very friendly great managers, I wash my car and my car was very dirty have a lot of mosquitoes after I washing my car was very clean and dry amazing job read more

Great car wash, had the nicest boy wash my car!!! The people are always friendly and nice!!!

Over the last several months, they've made a lot of improvements! This is noticeable, and makes my car so much cleaner! The car wash gets my car clean. The vacuums are stronger now and do a good job. And the attendants are attentive to scrubbing the windows and under my back window spoiler. The bug spray is a game-changer! It truly works! Now when I drive up and they ask if I'd like a trash bag or air freshener, I let them know I'd like the bug spray. Easy, quick, and effective!!! Don't worry about the line - it moves very quickly. It was almost to the street, and it took 8 minutes. Not bad at all! I love the unlimited plan for $21/month. It's a great value, and so nice to have a clean car whenever I want to drive through. The spot-free rinse works very well... which is super, considering how hard our water here is. The attendants are all so friendly; and they are consistent in their work ethic, communication, and caring. I appreciate that I always know I'll be treated well. They do a good job of hiring employees. read more

Was in express lane and employee was holding vehicles to allow others from the non-express lane to cut in front of us. When I got to the front I told the employee he was allowing people to cut in front of us waiting. I explained I saw two vehicles pass me while in line and he held us for them. His reply, "first of all don't you talk to me this way!" I pulled forward out of line and demanded my membership be cancelled. Rude and stupid staff! read more

Car was clean but the girl working the car wash smacked into my rain cover and cracked it. Needs better training on how to not damage vehicles. read more

I do not recommend this place because it is too short of a car wash. You are in and out in less than one minute and so if you have anything more than some dust on your car and you have bird poop bee poop mud or any of that stuff it is not going to get it off. They need to slow down the time and allow all of their devices to actually scrub your car otherwise you might as well just stay at home and rinse your car off with a hose. There vacuums also sucking don't get very much garbage out read more

Good customer service, always friendly people! If you need them to scrub more for you they will or change anything their always willing too! and the rates are good and membership too! read more

Before the current owners took over, it was a much better car wash. The wash now is far too fast to get anything clean. It's a complete waste of money in my opinion. The girls taking the money are generally very nice. But the second you ask the people at the beginning of the wash to scrub a little bit more they have an attitude. Very disappointing to say the least. read more

This a great business! So friendly, convenient and Covid-19 safe. You can tell they are popular by the line of cars. Luckily the line moves fast and the pre wash and auto wash work great! read more

Sail Thru Express Car Wash - Sailthru is a great business. So convenient, friendly, and Covid-19 SAFE. I love being able to just zip thru and have a sparkling clean car. - Car Wash Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Really fast and thorough. Only reason it's not a 5 is I wish the guys with the brushes spent just a few more moments getting the spots on the front, and I wish the dryers were a bit longer so I don't leave with water spots every time. read more

It was a gorgeous sunny day in Tehachapi and I had some time to kill. The car needed a good wash and Sailthru was near, so BINGO - car wash time! Sailthru was busy at noon on a Thursday. There was a line of about 6 vehicles in front of me. It didn't take too long but I certainly wouldn't come here if you're in a hurry. There's only one entrance. No fastpass section for Unlimited wash customers. The car was employees were friendly and efficient. The overall cleanliness seemed impressive. The car wash had several great features. I was a little shocked at how strong the air dryers were. It's definitely a little rougher than Cruz Thru. In all, it's a decent car wash for $10. Definitely opt for the $20/month Unlimited wash deal when they have it. read more

This place is great. They are also essential under the auto category so anyone complaining of them staying open during covid, your 1 star reviews are valid. This is just a business trying to survive and nothing more than that. I will continue to get my car washed there and I hope you all do as well! read more

Staff is friendly. Other than that, you are paying full-service car wash prices for a gas station quality drive thru. I've given this place three tries. Each time I leave with just about as many bugs and water spots as when I came in. For $5 in tokens, I can do a much better job at the self-service wash a block away. Without any competition, I suppose you can offer a drive thru for full service prices. I will keep hitting up the far superior $8 wash at Costco down the hill. read more

I have been a member for almost a year and one of the workers doesn't like me personally for highschool lol but i pay to get my car washed and everytime i go he decides to walk inside and not scrub down my car. if someone doesn't like you from highschool don't go here lol read more

I was pulling my car into the car wash. I was guided by a young man. I didn't realize he was done guiding me. But he thought I put it in neutral a second to late. He slapped my windshield and started soaping it down. While he was soaping it he said F ING lady. He knew he wouldn't get in trouble because of the shortage of workers. Nothing happened to him. They didn't even talk to him. That's how much they care for their customers. read more

It didn't clean as much as I expected. Paid $11 for deluxe. Didn't do any prewash, alot of bugs still stuck in my car. Alot of water spot on the windshield. Waste of money and time. read more

Not only is the way they ring people up or even check the members the dumbest thing I've ever seen. My lord walking back and fourth to each car have they ever heard of a tablet or WiFi. But you can never tell if they will be open. Seems whenever I need a car was they are either backed up out to the street due to the way they do business or like today just not open. 4:50 pm on a Wednesday sunny and 86 out. Can't imagine why the car wash wouldn't be open. read more

I have never had a problem with sail thru car wash. The staff is usually extremely nice and my car is nice and clean after. Convenient with kids. The owner is extremely nice! read more

I needed a car wash bad, so I pulled in this place the other day.... This place is fun, fast, and at a bargain rate! You do most of the work after driving thru the car wash, but to get unlimited vacuum time for $3 is not going to be found anywhere else. I had a couple of stubborn bugs stuck to the front of the car after I drove thru and the staff told me to drive thru again for free! $10 and my car was looking hot again! read more

disappointed lots of dead bugs on front of car before and after wash, staff with scrub brush prewashes the stubborn spots (bugs) that machine cant get, but neither does the lazy folks who prewash your front end. I showed them the bugs after the first pass through the machine, and they did a crappy job again, the third time (in a row!) you would think they would try to focus on getting the bugs off with a brush before going around again; nope. read more

I went to this place during this past summer & I will never go back. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Prior to going through the car wash my car was moderately clean, but had a giant dollop of bird poop on the roof of the car, my main purpose for washing my car that day was to remove the few hour old bird poop from my car. After waiting in a giant line of cars for about 20 minutes, my husband and I were greeted by rude, unprofessional, young girls dressed in booty shorts and tight shirts and we opted for the $10 wash combo. We ended up going through the car was a total of THREE TIMES, and the car was still dirty. The giant glob of bird poop seemed completely untouched and it was obvious that the machine was missing that entire part of our car. We asked to speak to a manager and were met with a combative, middle aged man with a poor attitude. He then proceeded to scold me like a child, and tell me that I had let my car "bake out in the sun" and that's why the spot wouldn't come off. I tried to explain to him that the poop had only been there a couple of hours, but he had made up his mind, and called me crazy. I asked for my money back and he begrudgingly gave it to me, whilst screaming at me telling me I should go next door to the other car wash where they can help "crazy people", and he told me not to come back again. This was probably THE WORST experience I have ever had at a car wash in my entire life, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone with half a brain. read more

After 7 days, 15 phone calls, 4 emails later.....and zero response from them I am so F'ing done. They are going to regret an in person visit! The help approaching the wash is good and the kids are great but the interior of the wash is dirty, grease streaks left on the car, water spots remained even tho they have an RO/DI system? I hope they go under or are taken over! read more

I try not to go here because their equipment never brushes the center back of my car. Even when I tip the help they can't manage to scrub the back of the car so that it actually comes out clean and I've never been here when I didn't have to go through twice. Head to Bakersfield or Mojave or someplace were they actually no how a clean car is supposed to look! read more

The location of this car wash is good, and there was a very short line when I went. However, after a single wash there were significant scratches in my clear coat! A thorough waxing hid about 80% of them, but for a car wash to do so much damage in a single go is horrible. To rub salt in the wound, the car was only moderately clean. Steer clear if you care about your paint job... read more

Simple car wash with a good price for the weekly washes I like getting. Vacuums work well and I've never really had an issue. I'm to lazy to wash myself so this is perfect for me. read more

They knock the big stuff off, but the car is still pretty dirty. The people at the front don't seem to listen when you tell them of spots that are particularly dirty. I have run the car thru 3 times and it's still not satisfactory. I have also paid for the works, but didn't get anything but the basic wash. This is no way to run a business. read more

I have no idea how a car wash could be so inefficient. I usually go through the car wash in Bakersfield, but I thought I'd give this wash another chance. My SUV was still filthy after going through it & it was just dusty to begin with. I don't have time to drive around and wait in line to wash it again - I would rather just go to a place that can do a good job the first time. I've had better washes at a gas station. read more

Sail Thru Express Car Wash - This is what my SUV looked like after the car wash - Car Wash Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Real simple review. This car wash is good at what it does, only washing the outside of your vehicle. But for the price, why do I need to clean the inside of my own vehicle?? Give me full service for the price! read more

Great car wash. Unlimited car washes for $20.95 a month. Super awesome special especially when you live in the mountains/ land of four seasons read more

Sail Thru Express Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Tehachapi, California

I'm so happy to have this place. It's very affordable. The line seems long sometimes but it does go fast.

As many drivers in Tehachapi bugs and dirt are always covering your car. This car wash did not enough have strong enough hoses to even attempt to clean our car. $10 later, we took our car to wash it ourselves and did a much better job. Wish someone built a REAL car wash here. It would make so much money!! read more

It is great for a quick wash. The employees are always willing to help you with any problem. Great membership deals. Definetly get your car washed here! read more

In January of this year I was in car wash and the bumper stops kicked my truck off the tracks causing the vehicle behind to push me through the car wash; as it remained on the tracks. I honked for assistance and the owner came to help; acted like it was my fault, denied visual damage to my truck and refused to take responsibility for the accident. A report was taken by an employee (a nice young girl) and stated I would be contacted with insurance information and auto body shop information. I have received no calls and it has been 2 weeks. I have left several messages with no return response to handle the repairs or re-establish the customer relationship. Oh, note: I also have a membership to this place and have been going weekly for over a year. I will be cancelling my membership and taking legal action. read more

I've had a membership on my car for over a year, not the best washes, my car was always water spotted and the vacuums suck but I dealt with it because it was cheap. I recently bought another vehicle and added it to my membership as well. Today as I went through (with my new light bar added to my jeep) the windshield scrubber caught under my bar, pulled up on it enough to lift my jeep off the tracks, nearly ripping my bar off and spinning it enough to rip out the wiring. I did not stop and say anything as they were pretty packed and I know they don't do anything about after market parts anyways so no reason to have a shit fit. I went home and called to cancel my membership on the jeep and let the woman know they might want to, as a courtesy, let customers know that could happen if they have light bars. They warn you about a $5 antenna, I think they'd want to make sure you don't rip out a part that's not cheap and could cause a lot of damage. I wasn't asking for anything. And the lady rudely states "we don't cover any parts you add to your cars". Okay, I get that. I'm not asking you to. An apology for what happened would have been nice. But why be rude when I suggest you give your customers a heads up so it doesn't happen to someone else? Terrible customer service. read more
