The guys always do an pretty darn good on all my cars, if you get an oil change you get a discount for a car wash. They have Pacman arcade inside, there are also chairs, table's and TV's. read more

Splash Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Salinas, California

Bad experience, I won't be going back and I definitely would not recommend this place. Most places will wipe down your car after it runs through the wash, the two kids that are supposed to towel dry your car after it comes out of the wash just stood there looking at my car and waved me on. They weren't even busy, now I know why. Bad customer service. read more

Honestly it's better to just wash vacuum your car yourself. I was supper disappointed in the vacuuming/ inside cleaning. It was not wroth 42 dollars . Never again coming here. My car was not wiped clean , certain spots where not even wiped down and it looks like they used the same towel from pervious vehicle. read more

I have been going here for at least 10 years and the I've never been disappointed. Car washes have always been very good and interior cleaned throughly. Staff has been friendly and although prices have risen, I still come here vs two other places I've gone to. I've never used the oil change service so I cannot speak to that aspect. Keep up the good work. read more

60 full tank and detailed wash not bad... This is my new stop am comming back on a weekly basis now read more

Splash Car Wash - Service is good and fast along with the fill up on the tank had the car washed, attention to detail and polite - Car Wash Near Me - Salinas, California

I love the oil change and lube center. They are very polite and will changes your oil and service your car. If you have a light out bring in a light bulb and they will change it for free even better they changed my break light for ended ten dollars. Where another place wanted fourty five dollars... great service.. I will come back here for a oil change.. As for the car wash the service is very slow. The shop is very limited on supplies.. they will not give you change if you use your atm... so bring cash if you want to tip. The car wash is so so.. I had to clean spots that they missed but my car was really dirty. read more

I took my car to wash it. They charged me $27 and it still looks the same from the same.

By far the worse service ever about thirty cars lined up and 4 workers for a Sunday (Holiday) afternoon.

ive been to this place twice and both times my car comes out with new scratches. this place is a joke 60 dollars for a car wash not worth it just wash it yourself cheaper and more reliable. read more

THE WORST WORST PLACE TO GET YOUR CAR-WASHED! DO NOT BELIEVE that the manager will "make it right" because that's bullshit so you can just imagine what the owner is like if he is allowing this to go on!!! This company in Salinas, Ca is privately owned, no corporation so he just lost a customer! read more

This place no longer accepts the exterior car wash that you got from getting your oil changed next door - The oil change business was sold but not the Carwash - This is similar to a gift card you have from a business that closed - Except the business is not closed - BTW - Their lowest priced full service wash is now $24.50 plus a tip for the crew read more

As a long-time customer over four years for this car wash, I had a car roll back into mine without much apology was forced to take my car to a repair place that did a terrible job. I asked for some free car washes for my time and energy and the owner did not reply. When I finally had to courage to go back to the car wash I asked to speak to him. I asked for the car washes he said i can't do anything for you and called me a bitch. Then he told me to F-off...Unbelievable....AVOID!!!! Footnote: After I wrote this I saw that I am not the only customer the owner Dale has told to F-off. Wow. So incredibly disrespectful, unprofessional, and disheartening. What a jerk. One more thing: about a year prior to this I had a very expensive Panama hat grabbed and broken in the crown by one of the workers there and received no response on my request for replacement. It was a 500.00 hat!! I should never have gone back after that. But now I'm NEVER going there again. read more

Every single time I've gone lately, I get the basic car wash. The change is a penny and I'm constantly asked if I want my change. I'm sorry but in my line of work, I ALWAYS give people their change, regardless if it's a penny. Very unprofessional and not classy at all. Manners must be a thing of the past here, according to some of the reviews I have read. I need to find a better place to go, getting beyond tired of Splash. read more

Don't go here, that's the bottom line. They do a really poor job and don't care about customer service. The driver side looked ok (and I mean only ok) because it's the side everyone looks at, but the passenger side was streaked everywhere. I was forced to go to this place because my 5 star Villa Car Wash is under construction. I paid $30 for their best wash called "The Pipeline" and that's exactly where my money went, down the pipeline. read more

I am truly astonished how bad this place is. I use to come here often especially since they text you coupons if you sign up for them. I really didn't expect a car wash place to mess up a car wash. I got the big kahuna. I paid $25+ for a car wash and not including the $5 dollar tip I left. As I get there I pull up to the part where it says gas and car wash. No "hello" hands me the paper and asks me which wash I'd like, I say the big kahuna. Then he asks me what scent I would like, I said CLEAN CAR. He tries to send me on my way but I brought up that I wanted gas... Since I pulled up the gas and wash you'd think they would confirm. As I sit patiently waiting for my car to be cleaned (which was over 30 minutes) for a half a** job. Finally they wave the little rag snd yell ready. Well I get into my car thinking it was okay and I was thrown off at the fact that my car smells like pineapple. I strongly DISLIKE the smell of PINEAPPLE so I drove home with a headache. Once I pull up to my house i sprayed my car with a lavender scent spray. I notice that the $30 dollar car wash I just paid for still had bugs and spots on it (don't worry I cleaned it myself Splash) and I thought to myself maybe I should check the inside of my car. The driver side had trash in it and the passenger side was not even vacuumed. I will never come here again. I rather pay $5 dollars for a car wash when the results are the same. On top of the they put my back seats up when they were down. If they're going to put my 3rd row seats up the least you could do is vacuum it. Check out the photos. I left splash with a headache and at a loss of hard earned money for a half a** job. Will never ever come back here even if they offer me a free car wash. Save your hard earned money guys! read more

See all

If i have to come home and scrape bugs off my just washed car, clean all the scuff marks in the inside of my car, reach down to get the popcorn kernels and other debris sticking out from under my seats...after paying for your top car wash and detail service that was suppose to do all of that, Something is wrong. Ive learned my lesson...1st time ehh... maybe it was just busy...2nd time... the guys cleaning my car were young, they didn't know better...3rd time...thats it. Im done with this place. read more

I had the worst experience i Isley go there a couple times a month this time my new car had more water stains on it then when I went there I tried to rub them out myself it didn't work I had bugs on my headlights and the sunroof had so many spots . I end up going rite back and told them to clean it and it still looks bad .. so not happy.. I wish they would have run it throw the wash again all they did was wipe it done !!! read more

The first time I brought my car to this car wash they took an extra long time to finish. After they finished I noticed some pretty obvious spots inside that were not wiped down but didn't mention it. I came back for a second car wash after a camping trip. My car smelled like smoke, I got the big Kahuna and it was much quicker that time. They also got rid the smoke smell which was nice. I have gone a total of three times to get my car washed and over all they usually do a decent job. read more

I will never EVER go back to Splash car wash again. It took ONE HOUR for my Toyota Camry to be done, and all I ordered was an exterior and simple interior cleaning...no extras, no frills. My car sat there untouched for 20 minutes after it came out of the car wash. As I watched the other cars being cleaned, it seemed like the workers were moving in slow motion. I did complain, but my complaints were met with indifference. I have gone to other local car washes and it takes 15-20 minutes to get a full service process. After I got in and started to drive away, I noticed there was still garbage in between the front seats and the middle console. And they forgot to put the scent in, which I had ordered. Unless you have an hour to kill and $20 to waste, don't bother. read more

Best carwash in salinas so far. acme,villa are nothing compared to splash they have great customer service and their employees are great definitely coming back!!! read more

This is the best car wash EVER! Splash is MUCH better than El Estero car wash and MUCH less expensive! My husband had to replace the tires on my car after nearly eight years and he stopped here to have my car cleaned. They did an excellent job for a VERY low price! Slash is located as closely to Monterey as it can be and still be in Salinas. This is well worth the drive. My car was in showroom shape but then I was hospitalized for four months and I came out unable to drive. My husband has had my car for several years and it looked the worse for it. Splash did a FANTASTIC job cleaning my car and it looks GREAT now. I feel like I have my car back. Thanks Splash! You deserved every penny and the great tip. I will never go elsewhere to have it cleaned. This was excellent! read more

I have been going to this place for about 8 years now and they're great! Whenever they change my oil they check everything like lights, blinkers, filter, transmission, air in my tires, etc. Before I go on a long road trip I'll just go in to have them check my oil to see if it's all good and ok and they'll still check my tires for me and everything. I just feel well taken care of here and it helps that you get a free basic car wash after you get an oil change as one of their perks! read more

This is the worst place to get an oil change they left my truck with the oil leaking out and the oil filter loose and and did not tighten up the drain plug correctly and still expect you to drive it back like that when went back they said the manager was not there and then tell you to call back but when you call they don't answer your messages or your calls and will not give you any straight answers all I have to say is not a reliable place for a oil change at all read more

Longest full service car wash ever! 1 hour, I could go to Monterey have my car washed and be back in an hour.... new employees? Don't know 1st time trying them out. Will not return unless I have more time to waste. Maybe one dryer person per car isn't the most efficient way to get these cars done quickly... I don't usually have an hour to sit and wait for a cara wash. The upside, 20$ car is immaculate. read more

If you don't mind wasting a hour to get a car wash this is the place. Approximately 35 minutes after finishing the wash process they started to dry my car. Unfortunately it had already air dried leaving the car covered in water spots. The windows were cleaner before they washed them. I won't be going back. read more

Do yourself a favor and don't bother coming here. Customer service is seriously lacking. Went in yesterday for a car wash and detail service. It went fine nothing to rave about but I was ok with it. After I left I realized the cap to my side mirror was missing and there was damage to the mirror itself. I called Splash TWICE to ask about the cap and I was hung up on both times by the young lady that answered. I went back and asked to speak to the manager. I explained the situation and asked if they could check the car wash (because it obviously had to be in there) and he gave me the run around saying he had to check cameras and basically "investigate" the situation. What was there to check for??? Long story short, the cap to the mirror was in the car wash as I had suspected. This should have been a non-issue if staff handled it in a competent manner since my initial phone call. Be warned, these people were extremely rude and unprofessional. Need training on how to deal with customers ASAP. Will not be returning. read more

This place staff is just terrible especially the one with the long hair braid that's washing your car as you're driving through very rude service! read more

Excellent service! Aside from my car looking clean and smelling great, I had a blast! Literally spent my time sipping on coffee and laughing with the staff. I purchased two gifts while my car got detailed. One of my observations was the bonding between the customers and the employees, they seem to have a established relationship that showed customer loyalty. Kudos to the management and their employees for making us feel comfortable and welcomed. The free wi-fi, reasonable prices, and superb customer service is what you will get at The Splash Carwash.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced. I am a long time customer here with a previous car I had owned. I took my new car to get washed and when I left I noticed that my $50/month parking pass was not in the car where it was left when I took the car to get cleaned. I was already almost to Monterey when I noticed it and when I called the girl who answered the phone was so rude and didn't seem to care. All she cared about was going home. She let me know that if they couldn't find it they couldn't find it. Well it was July 1st and loosing a $50.00 monthly car pass is not okay. If you move something from where it is you should put it back where you got it from. I showed back up to Splash the gentleman working on my car ran to the car and pulled it out from underneath the passenger's driver seat. Why one would put it there is beyond me. Then the girl who picked up the phone took her hand and waved it in the air to me so rude and disrespectful. She was being very confrontational (to her customer!!!!!) This is supposed to be a place of business.... I called the next day, the manager didn't care. I asked to speak to the owner Dale and he got on the phone, did not care at all how is employees treated me and I quote told me " I don't give a f**k if you ever come here again". He said many other profanities that I still can not believe someone with a business would speak to their customer like that, and to make it worse I have been going there since it opened. No sense of customer service. Rude, disrespectful and shameless. I would spend triple the money than ever to go back there again with the way they treated me. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS ITS WORTH GOING ELSEWHERE. If you go be prepared to be told to F*** off, because they will tell you to! read more

It's disappointing for the price. You can see clearly how they don't reach to get the whole windshield or back window and they did a so so job on the interior leaving a lot of dust to show where they only wiped half of the arm rest. I'll try a different place next time. read more

Ok, never again. These guys are lazy as can be. seriously everything is half assed. I explained to him I just came from a camping trip and was assured that is no problem. There were only 2 cars in the whole place so it's not like they were slammed. I gave him $30 bucks and this is what I got: 1: vacuum guy locked my keys in the car which added 25 minutes for a tow truck. 2: afterwards I picked up my mat and dirt spilled out of it, checked and all are like that! 3: still dirt and gravel in the seats and on the floor 4: sprayed armor-all on everything..even smeared it on the windows. 5: left coffee splashes on the seat 6: globbed so much tire dressing on the tires it slung all down the side of my car as I drove off 7: Wheels still had dirt and grime on them 8: every button in the car was messed with. 9: rearview mirror twisted up and side mirrors point one straight up, one straight down. 10: center console still had dirt and stuff in it. I came home and had to shake out all my mats, clean the leather seats, clean the steering wheel and console, re did all the windows...you get the point. I don't afford myself this luxury very often..I want it done right! I can't wait till the new one (formerly Villa Carwash) opens up!! read more

The best carwash in Salinas! Took my car here and they left it spotless. Not kidding. I've never had my car look so clean. They did a wonderful job cleaning every single little detail. Wonderful! Will be coming back here again. read more

Me and my girlfriend went to get my mom's car washed. The young gentleman taking care of us, Hugo, was a huge help answering question we had about the different services. He offered to pump gas for us and was even fine with us not initially giving him a tip. We were going to come back after going up to an ATM or getting cash back, but he was going on lunch. I'm incredibly glad I got good service for once in Salinas. Thank you, Hugo. read more

I always use this place, by far the best service and wash around monterey county without having to use your first born and an arm for a simple wash. If you go get the VIP! You pay $30 for the month and you can get your car washed everyday if you want for free. Thats a 30 day wash everyday for $1. You can't beat it when it cost $10 for a simple out wash every time you go. So why not pay $30 and wash it every other day? read more

I come here often to get my oil changed. And the guys do a good job and are friendly. Came to get my car washed, and while they do a decent job, customer service is awful. Is it really that hard to say hello and smile? Might start going to Acme from now on. read more

Just left carwash.... Did a great job in comparison to ACME down the street. Very impressed! They spent a tremendous amount of time on my exterior $15 wash. Love it!! Seems like not everyone has had similar experiences based on reviews but I'm glad I chose them today and will no longer go to Acme. read more

Came here last week, and was extremely disappointed. I should of checked the reviews before i brought my new car here for a wash. My car was not vacuumed entirely, windows still had water spots, inside looked like my 4 year old cleaned it. they had 4 cars, plus mine, and it still took them a little over 45 min to finish. I sat there and watched my car unattended or being worked on for almost 20 min. their lack in professionalism is costing a bad reputation here, and if i were the owners, i would listen to the customers frustrations and do something about it. I don't expect them to kiss ass, but a "hello", "have a good day" or a "thank you" would be nice. will not be returning, and will let everyone know not to come here either. read more

because i have a large vehicle, finding a reasonably priced car wash station was important to me. some car wash stations charge more for larger vehicles which to me is ridiculous. i have been going to splash for 3 yrs now. i wish i can give splash a higher rating but i think some of the cashier/greeters need a lesson in customer service. some are friendly but some are a bit rude with no greeting, smile nothing. when i pointed this out to the new female cashier (she greeted me and engaged in a short conversation with me) she was surprised at my comments. hopefully she doesn't pick up any bad working habits from her fellow co workers. for me the work had been pretty fair. if you decide on being a regular customer here make sure to have some info saved in there computer system. on your bday you get a free car wash and they have a point system, so after so many points you receive a free wash :) in their store they have a few automobile items to buy along with snacks, greeting cards and cute little gift shop items. read more
