*This is based of Vince's job quality* Vince puts a lot of effort when it comes to drying/detailing the cars and you could tell each time around how much effort he puts each time I come. So if you're in the 626 area I would recommend coming here and asking for him. Also, fun little tip.... you could pick the person to dry/detail your car and coming in the mornings are beneficial due to the morning special. I believe it's Monday-Friday till 11 am. UPDATE: Vince no longer work's here which is so sad because he was really good. read more

Came here for a car wash with a full tank of gas. Noticed they were taking forever on a slow day. Left with a quarter tank of gas missing. Never coming here again. read more

Been coming to this location since I was a little girl. Once I got my own car I continued to come here because it was reasonably priced and the quality was better than I can produce. New owners now so no more early bird special. The most basic car is $29!!! Again, $29!!! I used to pay AT MOST $22 with a tip for the workers. Unfortunately I won't be returning. Workers still did a good job however can no longer justify paying the new cost. read more

Came here for the first time. They are fairly priced. I did the Super Clean. I waited and saw other cars come through the wash tunnel but not mine. I got worried so I walked around looking for my car. Don't know why my car took so long to go through the tunnel. I like how it's indoors / covered area where they dry the car. The workers are not in the blazing Sun and the car don't get sun spots. They did spend a lot of time on my car but were not very thorough. I did a full walk around and found large spots that they didn't even try to clean off. It was like bird droppings. I was scraping it off myself then one guy come over and helped me clean it off.... He said to me, "You need full detailing service"..... That comment kind of left a sour taste in my mouth BUT I won't fully rate them off what a worker said. Yes sir, next time I'll pay for the full detailing service =____= read more

My Google map brought me to this being the closest car wash on my drive to work. A little sketch but I stopped. The posted billboard prices are kinda high for a basic get the dirt off my car kinda wash. I asked him foe the cheapest and the receipt says $17.99 on a Tuesday morning so that's totally doable for a wash, vaccuum, tire dressing. The location has a Mexican food place inside and a window tint as well. The womans bathrooms are usable if you don't touch anything and squat. They sell a few overpriced car items like wheel covers and carseat covers. I deducted a star for the wait to check in the car, wait to pay at the cashier. I deducted a star for the unsanitary establishment as a whole. The upside is the covered dry dock so I hopefully will not have sun water marks on my Buick paint job. Each car looks like it gets a single dryer guy which is nice to avoid multiple tipping. Like are they required to pool the tipping together? Anywho, satisfactory job since my Buick was dusty and just wanted a quick wash on my way to work. read more

This is my favorite place to get my car washed. All the workers are very nice and hard working. If you catch their early bird special, which is Mon-Thurs 8-11am, you can get a regular wash for $10.99 that includes vacuum and hand dry and an air freshener or tire shine!! They do a good job wiping your inside and outside for just the regular wash! Pros: -Early Bird special -nice service -stamp card! Buy 9 washes, get the 10th free! -very nice workers all around -shading area to hand dry your car -never too crowded in the AM -they don't expect tip, but I give anyway! A dollar goes a long way! Cons: -none! read more

Star car wash does a great job in leaving your car clean and sparkly. I highly recommend this car wash for early bird washers. They open at 7 am on fridays and Saturdays! The guys that vacuum your car do the best job. The car wash is mostly busy but they are very fast and efficient. Very satisfied with STAR. M-th 8 am to 6pm Fri-Sat 7 am-7pm Perfect for the busy weekend schedule!! read more

Honestly this is the last time I come here. New ownership and the prices went up like 20%. At least that. The cheaper one that I used to get, it was 29$ and now it's 39$. restrooms don't even have paper towels. I guess it's time to go somewhere else. read more

Idk if they changed owners, but their prices are ridiculous. The basic car wash is $30, and they did a crappie. They didn't clean the inside well. I will never go there again. read more

Out of so many car wash in this county this has to be on of the top ones if not the top one in my opinion! Customer services is on point All the employees are nice and HARD workers. Best part about is the prices can't be them. Thirsty, hungry, or just simply wanna be a fatass they got it all here. Big category of accessories for your Vehicle to. read more

this place is TRASH. they charge the price of a hand wash for basically a tunnel wash and a VERY sloppy vacuum pass.

The waiting line was great, I was the only car there at 10:30 am on wed morning. This was my first time there so I got the standard basic wash for $21.99. I would suggest next time to avoid the basic wash because apparently they do not wipe down the car in detail. The lady that I gave the tip to said with broken english that no mas. I asked her to wipe down a couple of areas that was still dirty and she didnt want because she pointed that I bought the basic wash. They vaccum and out your car through auto wash machine and all they had to do is do a through dry down and wipe dashboards. However, she feels it was not necessary to wipe clean I guess. I still end up giving her $3 tip and she wiped 1 area only. Dissatisfied customer. Shouldn't they wipe down on dashboards and doors no matter which package I bought? read more

Avoid this place! I've been coming here for about 3 months straight. The guy that takes your information down is hardly ever their. The guys that are vacuuming your car won't even acknowledge. I'm guessing you gotta be a mind reader. I brought this us to the girl at the cashier and she seemed like she was also ignoring my concern. Too bad they just lost a loyal customer. I'm guessing that's how they do business here? read more

Couple years ago they used to be amazing, now they are a joke. Terrible job done overall, came here today to get a wash since I was in the area. Paid $30 for a diamond wash. Feels like if a little kid washed this vehicle. The attention to detail they used to have is definitely not there, or the pride of their work. I'm sure they don't care about the yelp reviews, or customers from just looking at them with no responses. read more

They got your car DAMAGE! Be aware before you go, lost a button after the car wash and the manager Jose apparently don't know what is responsibility and customer service is. Refused to give a solution. Just go to another place read more

The prices have gone ip so much here. I used to pay $15 for a car wash. Today I paid $26 for a basic wash. The cheapest one. Seemed so high. Maybe that's the going rate. The inside wasn't even vacuumed good. The bathrooms were so disgusting. I think the worst I've ever seen. read more

I come here to get a carwash. They have the best deals & they leave my car very clean.

Had to give this spot five stars. They are fast and do a good job. Thank you Jorge you did an excellent job and have excellent customer service skills. 7/1/17 Had to rethink the rating I originally gave. Like the spot. It's conveniently located and the employees are nice and polite. But today I wasn't completely satisfied. So let's cover the details. I paid for the 21.99 carwash. That is the car wash on the outside, shine on tires, the basic on the inside (dash board and cup holders). My car had the dash board clean but the cup holder I don't think was even wiped down. Let's add some pictures and the outside was not at its best either. read more

Had a great experience at Tat Auto Spa. My car was so clean when I left and for a very reasonable cost, would recommend.

This place is disgusting. Bad service. I paid $29.99 to get my car cleaned exterior and interior not detailed but when it was done I was shocked to find that the passenger seat still has some crumbs. Very very upset. I asked to speak w th the manager and all he was offering was to go back to the vacumm station and revacumm the inside after waiting for about 30-45mins. This was my 1st visit and WILL BE MY LAST. I definitely would not recommend this car wash company. If you want something done right, just wash and clean your car yourself. Paying $29.99 for a mediorce job is not worth it. When I asked for compensation, the manager states that he can only revacumm the car nothing else. I left upset. Very poor service! read more

This place is a joke. I was the 2nd car here at 10am. Now there is 15 cars, my cars still isnt done The girl that gets the info frm u as to wha car wash u want isnt friendly, but I can see why. She has to go frm outside to run back an be the cashier. There is no sign tha the other entrance was closed off. The man that tried to be cashier doesn knw wha hes doing. AND there a restaurant in the carwash lobby. Wth??? Never coming here for a basic wash at $16.99.... this while area is a mess. read more

I came here yesterday.. the business hours said 6pm but, they had new hours and closed at 5pm. I'm glad to see they changed it on Yelp! They were nice enough to still take my car in. The guy asked what I needed done. I just said, "Hand wash and wax." He said, "$20?" I agreed because I was in desperate need of a wash. I go to the cashier... he brings the ticket and it is marked $30..... -_- Like I said, I was desperate, so I let it slide. Turns out they did more than hand wash and wax my car. In addition, they - Vacuumed - Tire Dressing - Cleaned/Wiped down the interior - Air Freshener - Cleaned inside windows It was pretty dark and I was starving so, I tipped the guy $5 and left. When I got home, I noticed a few things. - There was still a few dirt AND water residue marks everywhere. - They didn't put my mats back in place AND there was there some spots they missed when they vacuumed. Was it worth $35? Definitely not. Will I be back? Only if I'm desperate. read more

First time here. Friendly employees, fast service, great price! Basic car wash is $7.99 daily for wash and vacuum! Super impressed because the chevron next door has the typical drive-thru car wash from $7-$10. No brainier to come here. They also have a loyalty card, 10th wash free. Only complaint (cause for 4 stars instead of 5) is can't get cash back at register like other car washes to tip employees. Cashier said were able to in the past, but owner has decided not to. Bad news for hard working employees, if one doesn't have cash. They do have an ATM, but I an not paying a $2.50 service fee + my bank fee (if any). Hope they change this in the near future. Will be back. read more

Gave this place a 3 stars cuz this place is so unorganized and has lack of staff working. I came here to get my car wash because it right near my work. Everything took about 45 mins to finish! So unhappy and unprofessional and slow! First of all, I had to wait about 5 mins for someone to come out to ask what I want. The owner lady had to come out to take the order and she had to personally vacuum my car( felt kinda sorry for her because she's little older). Definitely need more staff. Then I had to wait another 10 mins before they actually washy car! Ughhhh then finally dried my car. Seem like forever just sitting there waiting. They do a decent job. But they do less of a bad job especially on special days. They raise their price on weds to $7.99. Still very cheap for a regular wash. They also have a new taco restaurant that you can order to eat if your hunger while waiting. They need to be more professional, organized, and hire more staff but as of now I'm not coming back even though it's really close to my job and on the way back home. Go to country village car wash off the Rosemead exit. read more

This is the first car wash I've been to with a thrift/2nd hand store attached. Yes it has all they typical things you'd see in a Car Wash store i.e. air fresheners, mats etc. But how many car washes are there that have clothing, a used drum set, vinyl records, and old frames with someone's photo's in them for sale. It's like the owners garage sale. As for the wash, it was okay. A little on the slow side for me. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 5pm because i really needed a car wash and I've been putting it off for too long. Place was kind of dead. Drove up and some old lady, I'm thinking the owner walked up. I asked if there were any specials she said no only on weekdays. She did offer to take $2 dollars off the "Rainbow Wax" special so we went with that. Place was pretty quite and empty. We waited for about 1/2 hour and our car was done. I would said they did an alright job. There was some spots left on the mirror, but the car did smell clean and looked dust free. This place is a so-so to me, might come back again if it's convenient. read more

Service, water, soap, and stick shift struggles.. the never ending game of a business or money laundering like in Breaking Bad haha Car wash businesses were getting torn down because of the water draught Cali was going thru but still many were able to keep their doors open and allow the employees to keep their jobs. This is one business that's doing ok. As recycled water goes, sometimes it just isn't clean enough to be reused over and over because of the soap that keeps coming back. A lot of chemicals that won't dissolve with filters. Walter White knew about this issue too but he kept on hustling.. I've brought cars here many times for a wash and detail. Sometimes the service is better than others but that's because they get more customers on certain days and times so that's aaight with me. The service though, it's gotta be consistent all the time! Wait time is ok too. Some employees need to learn how to drive stick shift though haha like really bad! The grinding noise on the gears are not a great sound for your customers to hear while waiting for their cars hahaha damn.. the struggle is real for some.. There's a restaurant inside the waiting room and some arcades too. Next door is a tint shop and across the street are car dealers. There's always options.. even for a new car :) read more

I usually come here for the early bird special 9.99 or a dollar more for an SUV...they usually let me use the 2 dollar discount for leaving a yelp review...but today they didn't...so unfortunately I won't be able to leave a tip to the washers because that's all the money I had lol ...oh well I'll still keep coming ..hopefully they cover their workers well they do a good job read more

$40 for a hand wash/wax is not bad at all. I'm always satisfied when I bring my car here. Many chairs & benches, in a shady patio area with a few tv's on. The taco stand opens at 10am. I'm very finicky when I choose a car wash. I'm ok with this place. 5 stars from me. read more

My car looks like when I drove it off the lot!! I first came here when I came to eat at the little hidden vegan cafe inside. And my first thought was, next time I'm bringing my car in for a wash. You pull up and there is a board that explains all of the different options. I went with the $29.99. You get your ticket and pay inside. Got some yummy vegan tacos as I waited. The wash took about 20 minutes and my car literally sparkled! They got every single crevice and I even got to choose an air freshener scent-Jasmine! This is my new regular spot. read more
