I will start out with this is my go to self wash car wash, they do have a drive trough automated wash as well. I have been using this facility since I moved to the area. I have tried many of the other local self washes but none even come close to the cleanliness, product offered on site, and quality if equipment. Im not going to say they are perfect but they very rarely have something that is inoperable. They have my favorite bay with the three step raised sides making it a breeze to wash the top of my raised truck. I would recommend this wash facility to any and all alike, come down and check it out you will not be disappointed.

This car wash has self service bays and an automatic bay.Ive never used the self service bay but for $5 the automatic bay works very well. He will hand out a drying rag with a vacuum token.If the vacuum isnt strong enough you have the wrong hose.Ive run my Mercedes suv through multiple times over the years without a scratch and its done a very nice job every time.

Worse carwash Ive been in. My car got scratch because of their brush. The spot free water is NOT SPOT FREE WATER. I had to polish my car at home after the water stuck in the car. Ive kicked out because Im from Iraq. Theyre raises they literally told me that.

Setup and configuration works. However, the soap appears to be diluted, leaving NO SUDS while scrubbing. It was also my experience that the “SPOT FREE RINSE” IS NOT SPOT FREE. Furthermore, the brush head was loose and came off putting a HUGE SCRATCH right on the hood. I love shopping at Kaelins, but I will NEVER USE THIS CARWASH again.

My car is still extremely dirty. I could have done the same amount of cleanliness if I hosed it off.Used to be amazing. But with the prices going up and the vacuums not working as well, Ill probably go somewhere else.

Wash my car for about 5 mins and got charged $10. The other car wash I wash and vacuum and have towels to dry for $7. Do not recommend, use the one on Mollison and Main.

I got the $5 wash. My car was really dirty so they spray water around my car prior to getting it washed. The soap and wash really cleaned my car. The best price I paid thus far for a car wash. On top of that, I get to vacuum my car for free! The down side is they only allow a 5 minute vacuum. The vacuum will stop at 5 minute.

Need to wash your Class A motorhome? They have a bay you can do it yourself . Kaelins for great Mexican food. Pasties to die for. Hot pre cooked food, that hard to find side dish. Not to mention the Mediterranean food being prepared as you walk in. Good is an understatement.

Self service car wash had no soap and spot free rinse was not spot free. It appears only water was being dispensed so this was as good as using a garden hose to wash a car. I spent $6.00 trying to wash my vehicle. I saw an employee and told him that it was not dispensing soap and he said you cant see the soap but its there. I also mentioned the person next to me was having problems with pressure in the wand and he said that was as good as it gets. He had a very non caring attitude. This was the worst self car wash ever. I will not return.

New to the area and this was my 2nd time going here, and honestly it sucks just as bad as the 1st time, very little soap comes out of sprayers actually very little of any product comes out on all settings i need a place to wash my truck not just squirt water on and move the dirt around..... Definitely not satisfied luckily their is someone there who will refund your money if you cut your time off right away...

The self serve is only good for washing your mats out, the main carwash is pretty good for a basic outside wash. The vacuums are terrible and only last 5min

Super fast, convenient and cheap good wash. However, some vacuums work and others dont, but what really sucks is that theyre hoses kept coming off and disconnecting, pretty much falling on the ground.

AWESOME soaps, pre-soaks, booths, and everything! The chemicals pleasant fragrances some how make their way into my air system every wash, and every time for a week somehow my car smells AMAZING!Kind of expensive, but if you have been there once you get the idea of how to save some time here and there.

Review №38

Should have an attendant on Sundays came here from San Diego because thatll have an RV bay. Only good if your RV is less than 20 feet long. Half the options dont work. Wasted 2 minutes off timer waiting for the pre-soak gun to work. Then another 2 minutes for the soap to purge from the high pressure want. Soap is ineffective. Doesnt clean just makes a mess. Hardly an impact on the dead bugs on my windshield.

Worst self service ever.Its dirty the machinery doesnt work well and the vending for shams and towels will just eat your money or will be jammed with money from other dissapointed customers. I had high hopes for this place and I was less than pleased. So sad.

My favorite do it yourself carwash in town. Everything works as it should and the selection of wash and rince cycles goes on forever. And if you dont want to do it yourself theres a$5 drive through there also.

Review №51

Honestly every time I will say Im not going there but I still I go there because its close to my house .July 21 I went there to wash my car the soap it didnt come out I asked one of the service there he give me credit .was not enough and the shampoo didnt come out perfect he said Shake the house because it has are inside is that your answer really it will be come out .I use my credit card the first time they charged me $3.75 second time charge me the same amount does not enough to vacuum it has a lot of holes and the handle doesnt push the air Direct the water pressure it doesnt push the water perfect so basically its the worst car wash I will not stop by anymore I would rather to go to one in Cuyamaca its a lot better I will not recommend nobody to go there wasting time and money even if they help you nothing it will come out perfect . If they can service the carwash why they open it just wasting time of the customer
