No complaints here! Simple, easy, reliable Been going to this location for a few years now and can always count on it for a good car wash! The employees we have interacted with have always been nice. Prices aren't too bad. When we lived close by, we did the membership for unlimited washes and really enjoyed that! Went again recently and had another good experience read more

They don't offer free towels , you have to pay for them. Also they just started not taping the back window wipers.I brought my concerns up to the attendant, he could care less. I canceled my membership . Very disappointing read more

I always recommend this place to people. I've never hard problems and the workers are always nice Angel was very kind today and helpful read more

The worker who was outside, on Saturday, 16 November, at 9:30 AM was very very very rude, completely ignored my father, acted like he wasn't even there. I will not go here ever again. That worker was so rude. read more

My car has been dirty forever and I remembered there was a car wash near the Stater Bros that I sometimes shop at. This place was simple and easy, just sit in your car and enjoy the machines doing all the work. There's different washes to choose from, I don't really care that much about my car so I picked the cheapest, less than $10. They are also able to do Apple Pay and even though they had to physically hold your phone, the guy let's you watch him as he goes through the transaction. read more

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND pay attention to all the bad reviews !! They have a huge sign in the entrance that says : We are not responsible for any damage to the car, they know that their car wash scratches the car and can cause damage.. it definitely scratched my CAR'S PAINT !! It did not clean my car at all, I had to clean the entire car myself , THEIR PRICES ARE SO EXPENSIVE and their quality is HORRIBLE!! read more

My family and I have been going here for our car washes foreeeeever. We now have the subscription for unlimited washes. Most employees are friendly and it's a quick wash with low prices. Can't complain! read more

Employees helpful and friendly! This carwash in located in the parking lot of Stater Bros grocery store, but area has its own entrance / exit. The grocery store receipts used to have $1 off coupons on the back, but I haven't seen them in a while. Shares same space with 76 gas station; entrances/exits off both Baker and Fairview. I usually get the basic (good) wash, which is now $6 (comes with standard moist, individually wrapped, disposable towelette) and the vacuum stalls are located both before and after the tunnel wash zone. Attendants tape the back windshield wiper, if needed. Gift cards are available, you can save some money by purchasing if you are frequent patron. I bought the $95 Wildwater Express card (paid $75) for myself and some family members. Comes in handy for a quick refresh :) Thank you Jose (GM) for your kindness, understanding and professionalism today! read more

I had an issue, but once I got in touch with the right person, it was resolved. Thank you.

DO NOT GO!!! Went through WildWater Express Carwash for the first time on 10/27 and it will be my last! The carwash pulled off my wheel molding and scratched the top of the wheel. Part of my car was left in the car wash. I addressed it with the gal who was working and she said they do not have forms for damage and that she would take my info. I didn't trust them so I asked for the owners email. She said the owner would look at the footage and get back to me. Great! So I emailed, sent the pictures and asked him to look at the video which would clearly show, wheel molding on securely and no scratch. However...response was "video shows wheel molding loose..not our problem! " Talk about poor customer service! No attempt to meet me look at the issue or even a comprise! BEWARE DO NOT GO TO wildwater carwash...damage to your vehicle can be excepted! read more

Upset with quality and service. Had a sucked up garage fob and they were extremely unhelpful told me to come at closing. Then closed before u could come and now the gas worker says come back tomorrow. As an update; Neither the managers at either establishment cared or looked. I came back two days in a row before and after closing/opening and they didn't want to help or didn't even know. I asked to look through the trashes and they let me for 5 minutes then told me oh well sorry. And then tried to gaslight me saying i didn't. Also finding paint issues with my rims with this car wash. Never coming back. read more

Car wash didn't clean my car. They recently raised their prices and the car wash is worse.

You can get better results with a spray nozzle on a garden hose. Had droppings all over car (hood, roof, window) after the wash that I later wiped away with a wet towel. The person running the machine said these droppings cannot be cleaned by the machine and that I would have to wash myself by hand...which defeats the purpose of coming here. However the vacuums were powerful. Would have been nice to have other attachments for the vacuum though. For cheaper, other places in Costa Mesa have DIY car washes that clean much better. Can not recommend this place. read more

Complete lack of care and maintenance of location . Vacuums aren't sucking , wash isn't rinsing properly . And the spinning "rag poles" destroyed my paint . Ended up going in with a semi dusty car , came out with a dusty car and chipped paint and scratches. 0/10 do not recommend ! Drive down to any other car wash location because this spot is not worth $.50 read more

Was never one to get on here and write up a review but after my experience at this car wash I just had to get on here. I've been in the neighborhood for a while and have always been coming here for a great and reliable car wash experience, the staff is always friendly, helpful and patient when I'm having trouble getting in the tunnel. Recently an employee named Brandon had recommended their Ultimate monthly membership as they had recently added a TIRE SHINE machine, leaving my car clean and a nice shine on my tires. read more

Can't go wrong with $6 car wash; however, lately we've been "splurging" on the $15 ultimate car wash where there's extra wax coats etc but our car ALWAYS has spots on it. Please update, fix or prolong your last step dryer time and/or fix your spotless water spray because it's NOT spotless. I wouldn't complain much for the $6 wash but if we are splurging on the ultimate $15 car wash, we do expect much better Wild Water Express! read more

The free vacuum is great , sucks up all the dirt in my car just wish when i went thru the wash it got the spots on my trunk read more

Wild Water Express - Going thru it - Car Wash Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Been a customer for years but today I went through, car had some spots left. Bugs and bird droppings. Manager (Filipino guy) and Latina girl worker told me tough luck. They wouldn't let me go through a second time to complete the job. Told me even if I paid for the top of the line service my car wouldn't be clean. Good to know they stand behind their service. /sarcasm. Never going here again. Better off driving through sprinkler hose. But hey, go use their free vacuums, just dont bother paying for a wash. read more

I've been using this place for 3-4 months and honestly it's not worth it. My car comes out of other end soaked, the dryers never work, they just make sound and you have to hand wipe your car, then you'll end up with smudges everywhere. But now, the owner has lowered water pressure, so when you pull in, the employees don't care to hose your car down with that little splash they're supposed to do, so you go in the tube dry, then it sprays soap on top of your dry dirt, then with 10% water pressure, it starts to scratch the life out of your paint with dry dirty and soap, this was killing me that I couldn't just stop the machines and get out, so I had to sit through my paint being micro scratches and the left went through the other end. They charge the money but don't provide what you pay for. read more

Does a very good job for a quick drive through wash. Plenty of spots to vacuum if you choose to and the vacuums are very strong.

I have been coming to this car wash for years now and every time I go and Sebastian is working I am attended with the best customer service possible. He is a very respectful young man that has no problem explaining a solution to your problem. read more

First and last time here. Shitty attitude from employee and we could hear something scratching our tire rim the entire time. If our car was newer, I'd be extra pissed. I suggest driving a few extra minutes to go to an H2GO or better service. read more

Sebastian helped us out today, and he was so kind! He had no problem chatting with my mother and I about our cars. You don't come around young men as friendly and respectful as he is. Will definitely be returning! read more

DO NOT USE THIS CAR WASH!!! There equipment is horrible and their tracks destroyed my rims on my E350 Mercedes, I have been going too fast X express car wash in Costa Mesa for over a year and never once put a mark on my rims. They pretty much told me I will not get any reimbursement or take responsibility for it. This is very unacceptable when this place destroyed my $5000 rims. I filed a report but of course heard nothing back. That reply is the biggest bullshit I've ever heard! I know what your car wash did to my rims I'm not an idiot. I have no reason to claim something that didn't happen at your car wash!! And I advise everybody I know around here not to go there. read more

It used to be if you didn't want the air freshener I could request an extra moist wipe for the inside of my car. Now? They charge you 50 cents per wipe! Granted, that's not a lot of money but if I'm saving you on the air freshener you could at least give another moist wipe as an even trade. Plus, my car wasn't dry AT ALL after going through it. Usually just the rear doesn't get dried (that's bad enough) but this time I had to wipe the entire car down because of all the water still on it. I've gone to this car wash for awhile because of its convenience, maybe it's time to check out the new one on Harbor. read more

This place scratched the paint on my new car and took no responsibility for it. I will never come back here again...EVER!

Good vacuum and good price not a bad wash and easy to clean your car after. Easy on and out plus gas station if needed

the last couple times i've gone in they haven't given me air fresheners or wipes... wouldn't mind if i wasn't paying for them, but i am. the car wash claims that it "quick drys/dries" but my car always comes out still soaked. there still patches of dirt left on it, etc. will not be returning. read more

Came here to get the car interior vacuumed, since they have free vacuums to use, and is convenient. Not super busy on weekday mornings, as everyone is at work. read more

I went through the first time in my car was not clean so when I asked to go if you the second time they required me to pay a second car wash. From now on I will go back to my regular car wash facility fast five in Newport Beach since they have a far better policy. This is definitely a one and done place for me read more

Um...it was not a pleasant experience visiting here. I did $8 of 'better' car wash but it was not worth it. It was way less effective than my expectation. The water spots were still there after the car wash and it was too quick to clean everything. I know what the 'express' means but I've experienced better express car washes with same price but mostly it was better than here. I'd rather visit other place than getting car wash here, unless I'm out of time. read more

amazing car wash. amazing people here. wish i had something like this back home. vacuum is free!!! car wash cost money but it's amazing how you don't have to pay to vacuum your car read more

Wow! I am so impressed! My poor 2 year old Sonata hadn't been washed in months. Yes, gross, but excuse me for living while y'all washed your cars! Needless to say, it was covered in dirt, pollen, bird business, etc. I always keep the inside very clean so I didn't need to vacuum and went directly to the wash. Purchased the Best for $10 and my car looks amazing! I really wasn't expecting much for drive-thru wash but my car really looks hand-washed. The Clean Car air freshener is the way to go! My car smells great! Will def be coming back! read more
