Very cheap automatic car wash ($10 for medium-price package), and very quick, in and out. They sell towels a buck each, for hand drying at the end, which you have to do yourself. The most convenient thing is that they had stations that had vacuum cleaners, to let you clean the inside or your car. Very neat! If I ever need a quick and decent car wash, Im coming here again.

Excellent for its purpose: which is a quick, do-it-yourself, car wash that is really affordable. The basic car wash is only $7 and includes 10 minutes of free vacuuming. Total bargain but that $7 wash didnt get all the gunk off. But it did make my car presentable which was all I wanted.

Excellent service. A long line of vehicles was handled efficiently. For the low price, the wash was a good rinse off of dirt and dust. A good choice between a more expensive, through cleaning.

This is my spot nobody washes cars as much as me here tell them Art sent you. This is a good car wash they have the air so you can blow the dust out from the crevices very important when cleaning the inside and getting the excess water out of the door jams and window seals. Great staff to.

Have been coming here for a few years and used to be great. The car would come out 90% dry and you’d only need to wipe the mirrors and hidden parts behind the doors a little. But the last few times the car comes out wet all around, tried the most expensive Diamond wash with the same result. They must have changed the timing/settings, it’s definitely much worse. Unless you are ready to wipe down your whole car after, find another place. Not worth it for me any more

What A Rip off. Like throwing money to the garbage. We did the express wash for $6.00 (plus a hidden towel fee for $1.00 pet towel) like we normally do without the hidden fees... at other car wash places. This is the first and last time we come to this place. The car came from the machine look maybe 15% more clean than what it was before. So we ask the manager to come and take a look at the car and judge for himself if it’s just for us to get another trip into the machine. The guy which was very unpleasant just refused without even blinking! (I guess it happens to him a lot..) and was saying its their company policy that if the car came out dirty from the machine you’ll need to pay more money to clean it right (in our case $4.00 more). We are more disappointed from the treatment that we have received then the wash itself that was horrible. not recommended to anyone.

My favorite spot to clean my car when I have the gumption to actually vacuum it myself. Just pull your car up, and the amazing crew comes out, handles the payment, and you’re driving thru for a car wash that actually washes and dries. The vacuums work amazing and the compressed air takes interior detailing to a whole new level. Always a bay available to pull my car into, and I have never waited. I love this place! Thanks guys for being awesome.

Very fast and affordable. $9 for my car to get washed in like a minute. you have the option of buying a towel ($1) to get it totally dry. you can also vacuum the inside after if you want, i was much stronger than my big vacuum at home so it only took about 5 minutes! thank you

The associate is friendly, priced at $7 $9 & $12 depending on how many coats of wax. Is a bit festive of a carwash if that matters to you :D

Review №14

Great spot, but the machines dont fully dry your car and they dont dry you off at the end...or clarify you need to towel dry yourself. You wind up going up with a spotty car.Bring or buy a towel and drive off at the end you will be much happier.

Great spot! $12 max for a car wash and then the vacuum is FREE up to 10 minutes they said, but I think we used it longer. There were two of us and we both used our own. They sell towels there, but we brought our own.

I work for a television production company. We have to keep our receipts when making purchases. The attendant didn’t give me a receipt with my wash. So I went back to ask him for my receipt. He rudely insisted to me he gave me a receipt. I told him he didn’t. He doubled down and says he gave me a receipt and basically tries to gaslight me. I told him I’ll double check but that he didn’t give me one. No receipt. So I go back and ask him for my receipt. And he says that he can’t get me one because of the “way their pay machine works” (also not true because all pay machines have admin controls). He then proceeds to give me a receipt listed for the same price in cash and tells me to look it up the bill on my phone, which I can’t do because the IRS requires us to have physical receipts with card numbers on it.If you work for a production company, do not bring your vehicles here! They will only make your day harder just like mine. So thanks for that Melrose Car Wash. 0 stars for bad and belligerent service to your customers.

I like Melrose Car Wash. Ive been here a few times. It is a drive through car wash. At the end of the wash you have access to a vacuum to clean up the inside of your vehicle. You can buy microfiber towels to dry and wipe down your car for $1 each. Its great for someone who likes to ensure their car is cleaned to their liking because you can be as thorough or as lazy as you want. The car wash itself is not time consuming and its very thorough. They have 3 different levels of washes with the most expensive option being $12. I would definitely recommend Melrose Car Wash.

I really like this car wash but I went today and I saw a lot of people not wearing masks inside the car wash and that kind scares me a lot, they should enforce the use of the mask to everyone if they are not wearing the mask they should be banned from the car wash for ever, today I had an argument with someone there because his kids was playing almost on top of me and they werent wearing mask at all and his dad neither and I am not going back because of that.

Review №61

Fairly inexpensive drive-through car-wash. its not touch-less but have big rags that kinda rock over the car so there may be a potential for lacquer damage, however Ive been using it for a while with no ill effects.. this wash is best for a lightly dirty car, as it dont seem to be successful at removing older dirt entirely.

Review №62

Great for a quick wash. They have free vacuums, and the best part is, they actually work well. Bring some drying rags though as these automated car washes never do a good enough job.

Review №64

Dont even bother to drive and waste time and gas.just get a gallon water dump your car and then dry with the towels. Because this place only wash . youre not going to get dry car .I just get out of the car wash . I wish I took a picture because it looks like I was out of a rain. all the windows, the car everywhere is totally water so I spent 15 minutes to dry off the car from everywhere. That doesnt work like this.most Car Wash dries pretty good, you spend maybe two minutes to dry the rest of the spots.

Only place Ive found that offers basic $6 automatic drive thru car wash, not on special. Other prices are $8 and $10 - still excellent! And free vacuums! You can also buy a drying towel for $1; bought one my first time there and wash it/keep it in my car. Super handy! I go out of my way to get to this place, worth it.

This place used to be good, but the new owners I have really wrecked it, every time they work on my car now I get a substandard wash. After seven years of coming here I am finally switching because today they charge me a $20 fee for being 40 minutes late to pick up my car, the car wasnt even completed when I got there so I asked them how they could charge me this absorbency and one of the workers got very aggressive and snapped a towel in my face

Works good for my SmartCar. We took a 8$ wash. It’s including 15-20 min free self vacuuming after washing.Minuses: wash doesn’t include a tires-wash.

Review №73

This carwash is just ok. The premium wash really isnt, its not worth the 16 dollars. My SUV was still dirty after the wash and the tire dressing was non existent. Get the regular wash and save yourself some money. In the positive category the vacuumes have strong suction and long hoses make cleaning the interior easy. Also a plus is the compressed air hoses. Over all is say if you need to wash your car and its the only place close by use it. Just be prepared to ask for a second (or third) run through if you have a large vehicle.

Great location but the free vacuum doesn’t have a strong suction so it’s hard to get the the inside of your car totally clean. Crumbs and other bits are left behind on the carpets.

Review №78

Inexpensive self service carwash with lots of space to clean your car thoroughly. Usually other self carwash places have a really weak vacuum that makes it hard to clean your car, but the vacuum they have are very powerful that makes cleaning your car a breeze. They also sell towels in case you stop by unexpectedly. It is a bit out of my way, but I still drive there to wash my car.

Review №79

Most expensive car wash in the area. $27 for what should cost $19-$23 (no reason to pay more for the same or better up the street). They don’t offer discounts based on day of the week (e.g. M-Th) or local mailer coupons. I recommend Santa Monica Palm or Sunset car washes.

It IS cheap, but not cost-effective.I never had such a bad quality in car cleaning.Even if You take the more expensive choice, the cleaning result is not good.And if You tell this to the service personnel, they only give insufficient answers.Better search an alternative, if You like Your car.

Ok so you got to go to this carwash. I recommend this place so much. So you go in, you stay in the car,pay and get a towel, you have to get a towel because when the wash is all done...you just take your car, park in one of the designated areas where you can vacuum your car for FREE. The carwash is $8.00 A towel cost $1.00 and you can quickly just dry your car and vacuum it in like 20 minutes and just be on your way.
