Great service and car washes until you want to cancel your membership. If you don't have the account # you must call and wait on hold. Must be pretty busy over there with car wash inquires... Anyway I tried to cancel on Jan 10th, and they said it was taken care of. Fast forward to March I am still being charged.... Called a 2nd time and they told me they had to request a membership cancellation. Really? A request? I then asked if they could access record of my last call which she could not do immediately. Also, I had the call log on my cell and wanted to send that to them for proof which apparently is not allowed either. So the wait continues.... will I ever get this settled? Maybe I'll just pay for carwashes will I close my bank account.

Damaged wing mirror

Dryer damaged my brand new truck when going through the wash and they said they are not liable.

Super excited to have a new Soapy Joe's close to my work! Now I can wash my car on my way into work and on the way home. Spoke to the owner and he's happy to have this location opening up too! $15 a month for an Average Joe Wash is well worth my time.

Great car wash!! They sponsor the Padres too so extra brownie points. I wish they had more locations near the Temecula area, but I won't miss a chance to cruise through a Soapy Joe's when in SD!

Some of the vacuum stations- with great suction!

See all

Sebastian Lopez was great--super kind and helpful. He did a solid pre-scrub and made the membership process easy. Really good service!

Terrible job and my car was damaged by the car wash! They take no responsibility. I'll have to take them to court.

Ask the Community - Soapy Joe's

Are the brushes rubber or cloth? Is there a "touch-less" option?

To be honest I'm not sure. My guess is rubber. I emailed a question to them via their main website and got a quick response, you might want to try that..

Thanks to Adrian, was able to recover my business car magnet quickly and with a smile (behind his mask).

Love this spot and other than handwashing my ride with my own hands (ain't gonna happen!), you…read morewon't find a better wash for your vehicle! It's one of the longest tunnels as I've been to 3-4 locations and some tunnels are half the size. Odd cuz the shorter ones must have less equipment operating yet my car always seems to be just as clean no matter what location I hit. But Oceanside at the 76 and Foussat is my local spot. Attendants are ALWAYS upbeat and positive and willing to help out. I could share some stories but will save you. Just know that they are fantastic with customer service. I even read a few 2 and 1 star reviews and those people still gave kudos to the workers. The other things they got down on them for (faulty equipment, car damage??). I don't know any of that and haven't heard anyone talk about that and I get my ride spruced at least once every 2 weeks and more like once a week! You know how it is. I've got kids too, bro! I usually need the inside more than outside but why not get both when you have the monthly unlimited pass? Wash, rinse and repeat and your whip will never look nasty. The ladies, or dudes, and maybe both, will be stretching their necks as you shoot by. One. "Concern" I have to bring up is the constant issue of non-operable vacuums It seems almost every time I go for a wash, the vacuum is not working -little to zero suction. However I will say that the team is in it as those hoses are typically repaired within a week or so. I think it's a problem that is somewhat out of their control. The problem being too much usage. I would argue this location is the busiest.

Came today for a quick wash after work, ended up being an annoying and damaging process to my car…read more The first run through did not clean it, as there seem to be some misalignment with where my car was, and where the equipment was set up to move. The washers would stop moving halfway across my car. It left the back half of my car untouched and dirty and the front half looking great. I went around and explained this to the very helpful attendant and he set me up for another go through. I came out even soapier the second attempt, see my picture. What's worst is that they have some of the worst potholes I've seen right outside of the car wash exit, and I bottomed out leaving the second time. At this point, I'm annoyed and just ditched the washer to go to the vacuums and their vacuums have terrible suction!! Do not go to this location, it's a dice roll if you'll actually leave with a clean car.
