their amazing "spot free rinse" result! THEY LIE AND USE HARSH DIRTY TAP WATER. leaves your car looking like crap.
Kevin K.

BEWARE!! SCAMMY CRAPPY BUSINESS!!! STAY AWAY OR IT WILL RUIN YOUR CAR! avoid this place at all costs. i usually go to the self serve car wash on pioneer and artesia (next to the shell). if you swipe your card for $5 they provide you a generous 14 minutes of washing time. they are amazing and i never had any problems there and their spot free rinse is real unlike this place. First problem: This place takes no card in 2023. i was lucky to have cash on me and deposited $10 in their change machine so i can get quarters to use their car wash. i got my change and counted it. I received $9.75 in quarters. what happened to my $10?? it's not about the money, it's about the principal. this was my first time here and it already robbed me. not a great first impression. i'm sure this has happened many times to other victims as well but they didn't count the quarters thinking an establishment would not rob you. the sign on the coin dispenser said if you had any questions or concerns to talk to the people at the liquor store next to it. was it worth my time or embarrassment to ask for my 25 cents? no it was not. so i just took the loss and went my merry way to use their car wash. i noticed that the nozzle for the sprayer in my stall was broken, great. now i had to get in my car and move to a non broken stall. i pay for 8 minutes of car wash time thinking it would be enough, it was not. it ended and all i need was to use their spot free rinse. so i was forced to pay $2 for 4 minutes when i only needed 2 minutes. robbed at gunpoint again. there's a recurring theme here. i finished rinsing my car after 2 minutes. i still had 2 minutes renaming so i gave it a second "spot free rinse". after having a terrible experience here, i was glad to be leaving and never to return again. now, i mentioned earlier that i always to my other preferred self service car wash. i have been washing my car for years there and i always finish off with the spot free rinse and drive off. my car is always spotless, hence "spot free rinse". this car wash however, had a surprise for me. after being forced to buy 4 minutes when i only needed 2 and spot free rinsing the heck out of my car to use the minutes i didn't need and was forced to buy, i thought i would be in the clear for a spot free car wash as i have experienced at the other car wash and many others for years now. after the car dried, i noticed my windows and exterior of the car were completely covered in white spots from their HARD HASH WATER. this business lied to me and stole my money again. their "spot free rinse" uses old dirty tap water instead of the filtered water it promises. now my car looks worse then it was when it brought in!! i am fed up with this sad excuse of a business. i was robbed multiple times and in the end my car ended up looking like garbage. water spots everywhere!!! damaging my paint too!! please do yourself a favor and go anywhere else but here! simply throwing a bucket of toilet water on your car will leave your car looking better than this place. i'm done. i will never be returning here again. i experienced hell to save you the trouble. STAY AWAY!!!! see my pictures for proof, taken 10 minutes after my "spot free rinse" car wash.

Price increase.  $2.00 to start the machine.
Birdy N.

They've recently increased their prices. It now takes $2.00 to start the machine. It started around July 2020. Also it seems they've shortened the amount of time the machines are working for the quarters you put in. I can't prove this without a doubt since I never paid attention to how much time the machines were given prior to the price increase. In my previous review, the person who I thought was the owner is really the care taker/manager. He's the older guy that walks around emptying the trash bins, fixing things in the wash bays, etc. Seems like a nice guy. During COVID-19 times, they've adjusted their operating hours and actually closed off the wash bays with a sign and chain around the entrances.

I've been coming here for some time with no issues, prices are reasonable and have much better…read moreequipment compared to other car wash competitors. However, this recent experience just shows why this business deserves such high ratings. After the car wash, I parked to clean the inside of my car and I accidentally vacuumed an earring. Jen went above and beyond to help me look for them. Unfortunately, I was not able to find them after looking through the vacuum bins. She took my information down and told me she'd give me a call back if she found them. The following day, she gave me a call back around 11AM-12 PM notifying me she had found my earring. I was super relieved, considering these were a gift from my family member and hold sentimental value to me. I picked them up later that day and was assisted by another helpful employee. I will be a regular at this car wash as I've never experienced above and beyond customer service in a very long time. I writing this review to give thanks to Jen and the H2GO team !

I've been coming here for quite a while, and today felt like the perfect day to leave a review…read morebecause Sergio truly went above and beyond with his customer service. When I arrived at the car wash, I realized I needed to renew my monthly membership, and Sergio kindly helped me take care of it. I jokingly asked if I received anything for my birthday that had just passed, and although he wasn't sure, he said he would check. To my surprise, he came back with extra wipes, including glass wipes, and even a small towel -- something we've never received before! He wished me a happy birthday with a genuine smile and completely brightened my day. It may seem like a small gesture, but Sergio's kindness and attention to customers truly made a lasting impression. Thank you, H2GO, for employing people like Sergio who genuinely know how to make customers feel valued and appreciated.

The product has all of your detailing essentials and equipment. They got me the machine I wanted to polish out aluminum plates on my truck. Price point is descent, but you pay for quality products and Chemical Guys definitely have that covered a 100%!!!!

A) I use the CG products at home and trust them when I wash my vehicle. Thus, I assumed I can trust…read morethem as a brand ambassador location. I went for the $25 complete wash - it was to include the guys hand towel dry the vehicle, tire dressing, an air freshener. As I was going through their machinery I heard grinding and concern about scraping my wheels. Following a fast cursory towel off - I was on my own. I looked around and still saw the water spots, residual spots and the windows and hood. Dirty windshield and windows and the roof of the Subaru Forester was filthy. I asked them to towel off the roof as it was still dirty. I was told that they had a "new policy" of no longer cleaning the top of SUV's nor use their overhead washer in the tunnel due to previous problems. I asked to borrow a towel and do it myself... they walked away and I went to the area the guys got their clean towels and started to do it myself. Oh man, That's when two guys came running out and said "you cannot use our towels!!!" I explained that I was completing the job I had just paid for. Explained that I had a dirty car and also discovered a new 8"-10" scratch above the windshield line and surface scuffs from the machinery. I asked if they had something to rub out the new scratch (like CG "scratch and swirl") - I was told no and told again of their new "policy". I asked for a refund and was told they had no way to refund me. They did offer to run me through for a second wash --- but, now I had less confidence of risking any more damage. They also agreed I could contact my credit card and dispute the charge. I contacted CG corporate and they were clueless about this franchisee's policy's. I'm suggesting to find a better option (and in this area there are many options with customer service - not just lip service!

SO GLAD I GAVE THEM A CHANCE!…read more I was going to pass on this place because they had some bad reviews but because I was short on time and there was no other cars in the queue, I decided to give them a chance and I'm SO GLAD that I did! A guy ran up to my car as soon as I pulled up and was very friendly. He was so humble that I didn't realize he was the manager of the car wash. I brought up the negative reviews and he assured me that they would do a good job on my car. They actually did an EXCELLENT job on my car! I had taken everything out of the side pockets and middle console and they vacuumed and cleaned out everything. And it was, I'm embarrassed to say, a total mess! The guy who did everything worked so hard, he was sweaty (not stinky sweaty just hardworking sweaty) by the time he was finished. And this is on a cool day in January! Despite the bad reviews, I would give this place a chance. Maybe because of the bad reviews, they've stepped it up a few notches and far exceeded my expectations! Oh and the hand car was was just $40. He worked on it at least 45 minutes so I tipped $10. Best 50 bucks I've spent in a long time!

2026. They removed the seating so there is actually no place to sit at all. There's nowhere on Yelp…read moreto know what all the services are, and what the current prices are. I called the phone number and it's a Magic Jack number. There's no voicemail with any information at all. This is just a neglected business. The car wash was meh. Just ok.
