Came on a weekday afternoon. Place had some customers, but wasn't busy. Got the Granphene wash for $39.99. Not too sure what the difference was between the levels. Saw the cheapest wash was around $15. The attendant was really nice and helpful. He gave us some dash wipes, pushed some buttons, and asked us to drive forward. Before entering the wash, another attendant helped ensure our car was in the correct position and we had our car on neutral. The entire car washing process was like 2 minutes. We then drove to the vacuum area. Our car was really dirty when it went in the wash. Car came out clean, but there were spots that were dirty. They were selling microfiber clothes for $1 each. Had to use our own cleaning spray to spot clean the car. We were able to vacuum the car in peace and took our time doing so. Liked that there were empty trash cans in each vacuum space. We used their restroom and it was super clean. Make sure to ask for the restroom code first. Overall, the whole experience was pleasant. Felt pricing was a little high. Might be worth it to get their monthly subscription. read more

Imagine being able to drive your car through a wash 2 times a day. That's is approximately 60 car wash a month for 50 bucks. Meaning 1.20 a wash(exterior only/Graphene package). What a deal. No hate here. Just want to say thank you for the amazing deal! So there are 3 options here. $15 speed wash that is a one time deal, second is the ceramic wash and the promotion is 2 months at 19.99 then 39.99 per month. Last is the graphene option at 19.99 for the first two months then 49.99. Not sure if this will apply after the holidays but it's going on now in December 2025. So I won't sugar coat it too much but it's an amazing deal. Go to any speed wash at minimum you are going to spend 12-15 bucks. Imagine doing it once a week that's atleast 48-60 dollars. Why not pay 50 bucks and just go 2-3 times a week on your way home from work? That's what I do! Keeps the car nice and clean! Now there is just one downfall which I need to address. The "spot free rinse" is not spot free. Now it's either the residue of the soap or the wax that leaves slight water marks over the vehicle. Which of you ask me, it's not a big deal but not hard to just dry at the drying station. You get free vacuum use which is also fantastic. So plus over there. Gotta throw this out in the universe, if you do choose the ceramic or graphite option, and don't notice your wheels shining, run it again. The whole entire process takes about 2-3 minutes. With two washes that's 5-6 minutes max. At that point your rims and wheels will be clean. That's what I do! 2 washes every time. All in all the attendants are super nice, and over all it's a very convenient process. So why complain? Price is fair and the wash is decent. read more

Excellent customer service and high quality wash! I got a wash last Saturday and then it happened to rain later in the day, so my car was dirty again. I called customer service and then the manager personally called me within an hour to let me know that he always wants to keep his customers happy so he allowed me to come back on Sunday to get another wash for free! This is top tier customer service. The wash quality is pretty good as well, it left my car pretty clean. However my one suggestion would be for this place to offer a towel station for customers to wipe their cars after as I feel the blow dryer was not very effective and my car was a little wet. I've been to other car washes and people love it when they offer towels to borrow after the wash, I think if they added that here it would be the best car wash in the city easy. read more

Came for the yelp event and was impressed as far as car washes go! As the name suggests this is a speedy wash but the quality of the wash and vacuum situation is great for refresh. The lights and length of the car wash itself stood out to me as someone who frequents speedy car washes like this one. Definitely recommend coming here for a quality do it yourself wash and vacuum. read more

A quick and fast wash for those busy days with a shaded vacuum lot if you have extra time. You may also need a quick wipe down as it's not quit a spotless air vac job. A single speedwash is typically $15 but they have a monthly special speedwash package for the remaining 2026 of unlimited washes for $17.76 a month. There are two other higher tiers of washes that offer more in the package and price is a bit more. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Month package is a great deal and definitely worth the try. read more

I loved when they pivoted to the monthly car wash. I signed up within the first couple weeks for their plan and even got my wife to sign off to her car. Everything was going great and we loved the service and ease of use. Unfortunately the owners seems to think it's ok to raise the prices on members unexpectedly. they said the signs were posted notifying of the new price but I would assume that the people Who signed up early on were not affected or at least be notified via text or email (they have my info on file). I would even expect those who came out and supported early on would get at least a year at the rate they had sold us on. Nope, none of it... I'll unfortunately be cancelling my membership and finding somewhere a little more convenient for me since I do not live in this area. RIP. read more

This was a rather intimidating experience as when you use the express wash line, you really have to have a kind of car that you have to navigate one wheel onto the conveyor belt. You go through tilted up on one side of the vehicle. You had better be prepared for the whole giant squid tentacles of the washing machine coming at you. It is a bit overwhelming. I got in without a hitch (non-member line) and the gentleman at the paying machine greeted me and helped me with the payment. At the end, I drove off the conveyor belt and drove into the vaccum and wipe down area where I used my $1 wiping cloth to get the spots off the car, and to vacuum the interior. I felt this was a seamless experience. I would rather have paid more to a human being and done a less machine-based wash. That was my learning experience. read more

It's fine. I got the card to come try the free wash. I usually go to Fast 5. I love that place and their price points are more than fair. The lowest price here was the one I got at $10, washes went up to $25! I saw it come up on the screen but dude didn't ask me if I wanted to add on the tire shine. Side note, I did. Anyway, the process itself is a car wash. They have a large area to vacuum but I'm spoiled by F5. The water just pools under your car, it's a covered area so no sun to dry the water. There's no air to blow water, no area to clip and vacuum your car mats, and no vending. I asked an employee if I could get armor all and he basically told me if I didn't purchase it when I did the wash, I was sol. And to add insult to injury, the guy next to me lit a cigarette and the smoke was coming my way. Ultimately I ended up back at F5. Went to their vending machines for armor all for tires and dash. They had their usual line which makes more sense now. I appreciate the opportunity to try it but for the reasons listed, I won't be returning. read more

What an upgrade!! I'd use the previous car wash at this location for many years, but they automated this location into a shiny new car wash. I arrived early Sunday morning so it wasn't busy yet, and I had a few minutes to speak with the operator. He described the three levels of services provided in their monthly subscription program. Having recently just opened, they were offering a deal for the first month, so I went with the high-end all in package in the past I've always wondered how different one level was from another in this type of car wash. I have to say my car looks great, and I don't know how they do it but my tires look brand new! I just love being able to take my time with the vacuum too, which is included in the price of the wash. I do miss the compressed air nozzle in the previous car wash that would blast the water out of the seems of the car. With the subscription, I can return as many times as I'd like to wash my car. Daily. Hourly! Once the introductory month lapses, I won't be able to afford the highest level of wash service, so we'll see how my subscription plays out in the future. For today: a five star experience in a refreshed and revitalized car wash. read more

TLDR; bring your own towels to wipe your car. Don't bring a dirty car. Vacuums are great! My car was pretty dirty and I don't think I realized how dirty until after going through and realizing that my car was not clean and dirt had pooled in certain areas. I asked to go through again and the gentlemen said yes. But after a second wash it was not much different. It looks like the top roller doesn't even touch the trunk on my Car and the water doesn't hit there either. I can get it off with a towel but I don't want to buy 10 rags to clean my whole car. I can say the vacuums are great and I appreciate the free dash wipes. I will not be going back, unfortunately. read more

I initiated service with your company in June, committing to monthly payments of $19. However, by October, the monthly fee increased to $39. This escalation is unreasonable, particularly for individuals on a fixed income. I struggle to comprehend how your organization expects customers to pay $468 annually. This drastic increase, which has occurred three times within a six-month period, is alarming. I urge you to reassess your pricing strategy, as it appears to be unsustainable for many customers. It is imperative that your organization demonstrates greater consideration for its clients' financial constraints. Conducting business in this manner may deter potential customers. People don't fool with these folks read more

I am a current member of fast five just a couple blocks to the east of this. As this location is closer to my house, I wanted to give this a try and see if I should switch my monthly membership here. First off, the location is fantastic, it's incredibly spacious, covered in shade, a very pleasant place, where fast five is very crowded and congested typically. The quality of the wash was about the exact same as fast five; pretty good. You know what these places offer. The vacuums were top-notch though... Extremely good suction, which is so key in places like this. But, what really put it over the top, and what WILL end up being the deciding factor that makes me switch my membership over, was their employee that took my payment, named Eric. He was just such an extremely nice, positive guy; explained a few things to me, and you could tell he actually genuinely cared about whether or not I switched my membership over here. Which is so odd, considering he's likely just an hourly employee...but went so far above and beyond. I hope the owners know that they have a future management quality individual here, and give him a raise as soon as possible. I'll be seeing a lot more of you guys soon! read more

We have become regular customers pretty much since they reopened after their big improvement/remodel into a super drive through self-service option operation. We've found the best deal for us is a regular wash of 5 washes for the $49 I think. I'm happier here than with our prior drive through place over on Colorado and Sierra Madre, which was okay-ish but always had a long line and didn't clean our cars as well because it's a shorter cleaning sequence. This place has a longer cleaning sequence and we appreciate that we can immediately pull into a vacuum area space - never had to wait. The people who work there have always been nice. read more

This is a drive thru (while you sit in your car) and also offers free self serve vacuum stations. It's a pretty standard drive thru just like all the other ones you see, nothing extra or fancy here. The basic cheap wash is $15, which I feel for a standard drive thru wash is pretty pricey considering all the other ones in the area are half that price ($8-10). The only nice thing about this place is that it's never busy, hardly ever a line, and the vacuum stations are plentiful so you there's always one available. read more

I CANCELLED MY MEMBERSHIP: I joined when they first opened last year. I joined the highest tier $39.99/month. I just checked my bank statement and I saw a $49.99 charge. I went to their website and they increased their price for the highest tier WITHOUT TELLING ME. Had they notified me, I would have grumbled about the increase but would have obliged. But what I cannot stand is when I get charged for an amount I never agreed to. read more

They don't accept cash or apple pay. It used to be so much better before they remodeled.

Went through the carwash, immediately after parked and looked at the car, the rubber weather strips on the roof were completely unglued and dangled on the sides of the car and the small amount of bird poop on the hood wasn't even gone. Waste of $15, do not use. read more

Price: this is the most expensive drive-thru car wash I've gotten. The most basic wash is $15. The wash: I'm impressed by how clean my car is after, that means their wash is thorough and powerful enough to get off all the dirt oak saps that have settled on my car. Conclusion: if you don't mind spending the extra $2-3 on a drive thru car wash, you'll get a very good wash without having to wipe off some dirt that's hard to get off. Membership might be worth it if your car gets dusty easily. read more

very disappointed in the attitude of the General manager and the worker Elizabeth very disrespectful a raciest at heart baste on her words and conduct, makes it very hard to want to spend my money there. and the cars never come out clean you have to hand wash once it comes out the wash. wow read more

I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately, I have to cancel my membership. They have Great vacuums, and the service is quick, but unfortunately, it's not worth all the scratches on my car after each wash. Took my car about three times always giving the benefit of the doubt but no there were new scratches every single time right around the same areas and sometimes in new places. If this were to change than I could give it another chance. read more

Was a very good place to have your car washed when it first opened, but today, I found significant scratches on my car after washing.. had to cancel my subscription. If they fix the brushes, I will definitely subscribe again. It was super convenient, and I felt my car was cleaned well. read more

Walnut Hill Speedwash - 4 or 5 small white scratches to the right of my reflection. - Car Wash Near Me - Pasadena, California

I won't be returning. Paid for the $10 wash and my car was still dirty. After we vacuumed I went back through the line and told the young guy that approached my car that I wanted to go through again because my car was still dirty. He said okay no problem, but when I got to Kiosk where you pay, the lady that's always there face was all frowned up. Tells me that "it's not going to get all the way clean, you have to wipe it" whole time stank face. "This time I'll do it complimentary, but we don't let you go through twice". I guess I missed the point of paying for a CAR WASH! I said no problem I won't be returning. That was poor customer service. My car still had visible bird crap on it as well as the little berries that fall from some trees. At the very least those shouldn't have made it through the whole wash. Unfortunate! read more

This was my first time here. Pro: *No line!! Literally no line to pay, only one car ahead of me to get on the car rollercoaster tracks. *I didn't have to ask for dashboard wipes! They just gave them to me. No more feeling like a gross fool for asking. *No aggressive signs about only taking 5 minutes to clean the inside of your whole car! *I prefer the shape of the vacuum to the one at the nearest big competitor. Cons: *They didn't have that nozzle that blows out air. *No stand that holds the mat. *My car still had bug splatters and bird poo on it Granted their competitor also doesn't get my car squeaky clean when it's very dirty, but I feel like this place is slightly worse. So that's a minus one star for not being perfect at the main reason for going to an automated car wash (the second reason for going to an automated car wash is to see the comically large brushes and huge hair dryer (actually, I can't remember if this one had a comically huge hair dryer!!)). Next time if my car is only a little dirty, I'll go here because the lack of a wait time would make up for the slightly less powerful cleaning. And I still might bring my car here if it's super dirty. I seriously hate waiting in a long line in my car! Even when I don't have to get my car cleaned I hate seeing the massive line of cars waiting to get their car cleaned and blocking the intersection. All the foreign oil being used and the exhaust being pumped out! But I digress... It was daytime, weekday. Not sure about lines on weekends. read more

I really come here for the convenience, but there's no air hose to blow out the dust and the dryer placement doesn't get my windshield and hood completely dry. Oh and the biggest thing is don't believe that unlimited BS you can only get 2 washes a day but they advertise it as unlimited a lawsuit just waiting to happen. Lmao the owner didn't think that through yeah buddy unlimited means unlimited you might as well stop advertising that and use the word limited monthly wash! Smh read more

Shame on you Walnut Hill Speedwash car wash in Pasadena Ca! I got my car washed yesterday due to all the ashes on my car from the Eaton Fire only to find out you up'd your car wash price from $10 to $15 in one week. That's a 50% increase. Price gouging they call it. We are on a limited income and used to like getting our car wash there but will now wash it myself. I'm sure there are many others that feel the same. ridiculous! Had to give it #1 but does deserve it. read more

I read reviews about this car wash and was kind of hesitant but I tried anyway. It's a good car wash and does the same job all the rest of the automated car washes do. If you let bird poop and dirt bake in the hot sun on your car for days no car wash is going to get that off in one time through. I thought it was pricey until I realized how much a regular car wash cost and how often I'd be using this one. I'm not easily impressed because I want value for my money and it's true that you get what you pay for. There's no log jam at the vacuums either because they have plenty and it's a spacious area. The staff is pretty cool as well. read more

This is a drive-through type of car wash, in which the driver remains in the car as it goes through. It also includes the vacuuming with the cost of the wash. You would also do your own vacuuming. You can either pay per wash or pay a monthly fee (which would be automatically taken from your checking account monthly). I had the automatic monthly deduction of $29.99. With the monthly service, you have unlimited visits. Here's the thing; this company went up on their prices without telling us/customers (No email, no posted notice at the site, nothing). Not only did they increase their price but the increase was more than a 30% increase! ($39.99)I tried to dispute the charge but this company recharged me and when I tried to cancel the monthly service/fee, they charged me again (despite me canceling, they won't stop the automatic withdrawals). I would not recommend anyone sign up for a service from an unscrupulous/dishonest organization. This is not an individual issue but they have done to all customers. 3 other folks that I know are also disputing/trying to cancel. read more

Great place to wash your car. The staff is always around to answer any questions. They're all professional and nice people. Sometimes I've taken them pastries. My car usually comes out super clean. If you get the monthly like I do, it's pretty great. I don't have a garage to put my car in so it's nice that I can keep taking it there. read more

This place is SO much better than the one on Colorado, it's new and revamped, has so many more car vacuum spots than the other place. I always dreaded fighting for a vacuum spot at the other one, this place has double the number of spots and their suction is stronger. The car wash itself is organized and longer than the other as well. Plenty of signs telling you where to go and people to help. Price is like $10 for the basic. I live one block from the other wash but will drive here for this one from now on! read more

The monthly membership is a good deal. Their machine does a good job. Plenty of stalls to vacuum your car.

BEWARE OF THEM NOT CANCELLING YOUR MEMBERSHIP!! If I hadn't looked at my statement they would've charged me $49.99. And kept doing it until I found out. I got a cancellation email saying it was done and then got charged on my credit card anyway. Stay away!! read more
