Good. Im here often as my son enjoys anything that produces crumbs all over my backseat. Id go to the car wash where I live but their vacuums are free but the suction is so bad. I go out of my way to come to this location (WITH CASH $10 bill or $20bill) they have a system now with tokens. $1/ token so if you change a $20 and use $2 on the vacuum and roughly $5 on car wash/ car mat wash theres still enough tokens for later or I give them to the rest of the family to wash their cars...tokens only on vacuum...car wash can take quarters but then again with that many tokens why use a quarter?

Best spray car wash around. It usually works which is a change from many others. It has 2 token machines and a bill changer so you can almost always access tokens to wash your car or bike. Its only $2 to start a wash so thats important to me. Many places are overpriced. This one is reasonable. Usually costs me $3 to $4 to complete a wash.

The self serve bay I was in kept kicking back on the tokens which was aggravating. Not bad otherwise- large open parking lot in the back to wipe down and clean glass.

Nice. Very busy certain days, but lines move pretty fast! People were very nice. The vacuums require a car wash token that is a dollar, and available to purchase from a machine at location at any time

This carwash is the worst design ever, having the vacuum really affects the costumers that only need to WASH instead everybody has to wait for people taking their sweet time, (good for business but REALLY BAD FOR COSTUMERS)

I do not use his car wash I do go to the Hibachi Grill which I find to be one of my favorite restaurants. Currently they have a limited menu which does not accommodate my dietary needs. However the staff is friendly and what they do have is delicious. I recommend this for a good inexpensive meal with quality ingredients and hope they go back to full menu soon

Maybe you can build one of these in my area. Your prices look great💯I live in 757 area or Hampton Roads area and our cheapest automated wash is like 15 bucks and your best one is 9 dollars I think this is a great deal😀

I like this place because I find it very satisfying to clean my own car, and make sure its done correctly. I give it 4 stars because some of the pipes need fixing.

Review №20

The hose above the vehicle was leaking so when I used the tire cleaner, it dripped all over the top of the truck. The brush bristles were pretty flimsy so they left a lot of the road grime on the truck. The price was ok but I guess that was the product I was paying for.

Love this place. One of the few places in Fairfax you can enjoy washing your own car. Affordable and you’ll get the job done better yourself then a drive through wash.

Review №22

Costumer service is a disgrace at this car wash. There is no soap in the machines and the brush scratch the vehicles. Personal is rude specially the Manager Alejandro.. He treats clients with profanity when addressing them. Plus the owner takes the side of there employee if any formal complaints is issue. I highly suggest not to visit this car wash. Where the client is not treated with respect. Avoid places like this. Manassas has better car Wash then here.

I put 5 dollar bill into machine to get coins, I got 5 coins and one of the coins was an old 25 cent so it was counted as 25 cents when used for car wash.

Great for washing your car yourself but the time per dollar is pretty steep. Spent about 8$ for a basic wash of a medium sized sedan. And I went about as quick as I could.

Just wanna say that Alejandro the manager is awesome!! And provides excellent customer service. I locked my keys in the car on sunday and he helped me open my car in like 2 secs. Thank you Alejandro for all your help and excellent customer service.

Cheap for self washing but more expensive for automatic washing.

Review №27

Youre better off washing your car at your house then to waste your time and money in this place. The vacuums take your quarters if you place them in too quickly. After realizing that there was a faded sticker that said insert quarters slowly...you can hardly read the damn thing. Next issue is the wash itself is horrible. The foam brush doesnt work at all, Its horrid. The hose rubbing against my car did a better job at removing dirt from my car. Its extremely uncomfortable with the hose being fixed to a swinging arm at the top moving back and forth and pulling you back the direction you came from. You cant use your own wash so who knows if their soap is worth Jack. The pressurized hose is probably the only thing this place is good for when it comes to cleaning my wheels. Thats about it. I came here to avoid going to a generic automated car wash to prevent micro scratching my car and I only left disappointed. Short time frames between wash and crappy soap/brushes. Go else where.

So much better than other car washes! They let you keep your car running so that you dont get cold. Other caresses have evil people.

I used the automated wash bag and purchased the $9 ultimate wash. The back of my truck looks like it didnt get washed at all and the sides are somewhat clean.Next time I will go to the regular wash bay and wash it myself.

If you’re going to use this car wash’s automatic wash, don’t expect much to be cleaned. Doesn’t have a dryer either, so you’ll have water spots all over your car if the suns out.

I take my dirtbike here to blast off all the mud and clear the chunks out of my wheel wells in my truck. Its heated water and all the functions actually work and it makes my life easier, Ive left a lot of mud and grass in the wash bay then pull my truck out and use a couple bucks to spay it all into the drain and clean up my mess for the next person. Theyre very understanding about it and as long as i clean up after myself theyre OK with it, really appreciate these guys.

Review №37

Finally, an actual self serve car wash in the NOVA area! I have tried 4 automatic car washes and none could get the caked on mud off my Jeep, and all did some sort of damage. Prices were very fair $2.25 for around 4 or 5 minutes and the pressure from the hose/pressure washing nozzle was perfect! just enough to strip thick mud from the undercarriage, but didnt damage anything on the car(only a DIY wash can give you this. I will be driving out here from Arlington monthly just for this car wash.

Review №39

I only use the automatic wash because why would I pay to wash my own car? The automatic car wash is very unclear in its signals so the car in front of me (Virginia - VDP-4437) got their car washed on my dime. There is no one on site to talk to and the voicemail is very general. Who knows if they will get back to me?! Very frustrated.

Review №42

This place is spot on, and one of the very few self serve places in Northern VA. I spent about $6.50 for a descent effort, but rapid paced, self serve car wash session. I say descent effort since I had intended to remove the superficial mud spots from my car. There is enough space to maneuver to the bays and to either of the 2 vacuum areas.

Review №44

Ive been going there for years and have washed my (02 F150, 15 F150, 13 300S, 85 Chevy C/10, 06 Linc LS, 02 Infiniti G20, 14 300S) vehicles there with zero problems. Theres a timer for the washracks and you get about 3 1/2 min for the vacuum. Very good prices for this area. Theres always a staffer there for little issues that can come up. If you get there during high traffic on weekends, expect a line, so get there early. One minor negative, be careful with the vacuum hose(s). Dirt can accumulate on the hose(s), so shake them out before you put them in your vehicle.

Review №45

It serves its purpose for me. I only get my black Lexus detailed and don’t take it to automatic washes and don’t use brushes nor soap. In most cases I jus spend two dollars on a round with the pressure washer. If it’s real bad,which it hasn’t been I’ll use the pressure wash with soap setting..... long story short it has what u need from pressure wash, soap, brush that I wouldn’t use, and the spot free rinse is a joke it’s hard water jus the same as the presser wash.7/15I’ve been utilizing this self serve wash for about a month and as for the self serve it bothers me when u switch the setting it takes over 30 seconds to actually shoot out what u want so it’s nothing more then a money grab to say the least. However I finally gave the cheap auto touchless wash a go, it’s not tooo bad I only get the $9 ultimate that gives u great undercarriage treatment but lacks everything else with barely any soap applied. Long story short it’s $9 it serves its purpose not the cleanest but it is what it is

Very good value car was . You can do the whole car for as little as 3$ but you will also need to polish and dry when outside .The best thing about your car is not to go trough the automated car wash. Save on the scratches and not well applied polish at the end .

Tokens are pricey- was $6 to wash the car and the machine cut off 30 seconds early TWICE! It’s better than nothing but definitely overpriced.

Review №52

Generally long lines here. So far, every time Ive been here, everything works, unlike other car washes around town.Update Nov 2018:Converted to token system. $5 spits out $2 in tokens for a 3min 20s countdown. No sign anywhere like other similar carwashs on what the conversion rate is. Usuall more spent is a little discount.Not happy a rinse is now $5. In tokens.Either your dispenser failed or This review just went to a 5 star rip-off. Pissed.((and the options for a decent carwash in the area continue to shrink...))

There are 5 or 6 self-washing courses, but only one auto-washing course.The entrance from the road is narrow, so if it gets a little crowded, you will not be able to enter the auto car wash course on the far right.Therefore, you can enter by passing the opposite passage to the wiping area next to the auto car wash course.I only use auto, but you can choose from $ 5, $ 8, $ 9 courses.Brushes like Japan do not come out, so painting does not hurt. However, it takes a lot of time and effort to wipe it off because a lot of water remains.

Ive always liked to go here to wash my car. Because it is good service but the unfortunate mind us Latinos is a shame. Because if we are seized in our house. This is how we have to be outside. The fact that it is a car wash is not that we are going to get to throw all the garbage on the ground we do not have servants. Nowhere. Lets be fair. With the people who attend and help us, a very good place. I recommend it with people ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
