I would avoid this car wash! My car had no damage before attempting to get a car wash here. Now my car has no bumper and the owner/manager will not fix the car saying there was previous damage. My pictures while still in the car wash lane does not show what their image claims.1st image bumper half way torn off the car2nd image half way torn of the car (front look)3rd image right side damage from the force from the left side4th image, their image, huh? that red box highlighting something that is not there clearly.

The car wash is well staffed, is clean and the highest tier monthly wash keeps my car clean for longer. The microfiber towels are a nice touch so there are no water spots after a wash especially with AZ being dusty. The plans of taking the trees away was not a good move as it set you guys apart and at most cost you a dollar maybe give them out once a month since they last up to 7 weeks and now there won’t be no air fresheners for subscribers whereas your competitors have sprayers with air freshener. I like that this place is well maintained as I’ve seen the technician there multiple times servicing the wash. I recommend this place to others.

Good car wash! Plenty of spots to use their free vacuums. Vacuums are strong and work good.They have an air gun to get out water from crack, and they also have towels you can use to dry your car with while your there.Really enjoy this car wash. Don’t have a single complaint about the place!

Tim the technician absolutely made sure my car was clean. Just traveled 2000 miles. Covered in bugs. TED the man! Scrubbed all the bugs off. Car wash is best around. Much better than the one across the street.Thanks Tim! Thanks Sonora Car Wash

Car wash itself is good but the air hoses are extremely short. I can only do one side of my vehicle unless I turn it around and back it in.

I have visited most car washes in my neighbourhood and this happens to be my most favourite the vacuums work really well the wash turns out really nice in the price is OK

Review №16

Got the $7 wash, it pushed all the dirt to the back of my suv and didnt wash my wheels... Good thing I didnt get the tire shine. The vacuums were ok at best, and the damp rags were a nice touch for getting the dirt and water spots left behind, but the air guns were very underpowered. I dont think Ill be returning.

No worker available to direct so I didnt know if this was a self serve...I started on track and kid walks out shaking head and Never saying 1 word to me...he points at direction sign..I put in neutral and go through...water nor brush touch my top to back of car. Dryer pushes everything on top to back and runs down window...Still Dry dirty car....I park and go on hunt to find this MIA kid again just to find him in office with his headphones and phone..annoyed at the world...no problems solved and a dirty car...$7 wasted..

Very good quality car wash, the drive through car wash does a really good job at removing dirt and getting stuff clean, its comparable to clean freaks, but the difference is clean freaks gives you a free car wash if you buy the 15 and up wash, Sonoran gives you a 5 day rain guarantee so you get a free wash if it rains within the 5 days.

Review №26

Nice clean place and the ONLY place here on the north side of town that I can fit my truck through because the guy working the ticket lane know how to use the equipment..... hes able to keep the top roller from coming down since my truck is just barely too tall for theyre clearances.

Review №43

Eh its ok. Its over priced and Im not confident I am actually getting what I paid for. Going through the wash seems extremely fast that my car is never thouroughly cleaned and still dirty. Going through the dryer part is so fast your car is still dripping upon exiting. Some of thehe air hoses were weak and a few of the vacuums barely had any suction power. Maybe I picked a bad spot to clean/wipe my car. I know its an express car wash but compared to others this one had you in a sprint.

Just South of bell on West 43rd is Sonoran express car wash ... Always doing a fabulous job, if anybody needs a car wash and you are in North Phoenix area I highly recommend this.And a touch-up is always just $ 5.00, So worth it.

Review №45

Nice quick wash but DO NOT have them spray whatever they spray on the front and back of your car. Seems to be too strong for my 10+ year old cars and leaves some sort of marks where it has taken off wax or coating or something. TELL THEM no spray on front or back and they wont. If not for that, theyd be 5 stars since their vacuums are awesome and they have the pistol blowers. Cant say if it scratches rims or not since my cars are very used, but they do look nice after a wash, blow, dry, and vacuum.

A very quick and to the point car wash. The entire exterior of it is very cute, small, but on the inside, it is quick, efficient and cheap. $5 for a quick wash, 1 minute and youre done. Will definitely be coming back here for my car wash needs.

Review №54

Affordable. Easy. Free vacuums. Its clean and seems well maintained. The prices are decent. I gave 4 stars because 1) some of the staff arent as friendly as they probably should be 2) I cant ever tell if Im getting anything different from one wash to a different choice. Is the fire bath actually the same as the Oasis? Idk. Either way, my car gets washed and vacuumed!

Review №55

First time being here was very confusing. After you pay, it prompts you to take your ticket but a ticket never was printed. So we waited a few minutes then realized that we were holding the line up. So we just went. The car wash did not wash the back of our van at all. It was still the same as before we entered. The vacuume is great and works really well.

Review №59

Great place! I would recommend spending the extra $2 for the $7 dollar wash rather than the $5. They have free vacuums, free towels for the cars, and very nice workers! Honestly, my car was filthy both inside and out going in. I ended up filling two trash cans full of trash from in my car and I felt so bad. The employee came around to change the bags and I was expecting a glare but he smiled and made a conversation with me instead. For sure made me feel like I wasnt being a nuisance.

Closes early a lot! I went Saturday to get a wash 5 minutes before closing at 7. They already had closed the entrance. This is at least the 3rd time I have seen them close early. I went today at 5 and they were all closed up. Apparently they closed because there were clouds in the sky! I am paying monthly for car washes I want it open when it is supposed to be!!!!!!

Review №64

I paid for a $5 economy wash. Now my thinking is this is a quick wash. I just left. Absolutely no water touches my car. So soap, no water, no rinse. Nothing. What a complete waste of $5. My car looks awful!!! Worse than when I got there.**UPDATE: The manager did fix the issue. He was kind and polite about it. Maybe I got a bad wash the first time.....

Fell down tripped over vacuum hose. refused to allow me to use bathroom to clean out scraps/cuts. As well as every business on the block. It seems as the business regarding the bathroom situation during this virus would rather people use public dumpsters alleys or risk a persons risk of infection than do a little extra work cleaning restrooms

I keep going back here - as always - well maintained, clean, with friendly staff. My truck came out as clean as a person can expect from a mechanical wash. Unlike some other mechanical washes Ive been through where the water is so dirty from everyone elses car that your car comes out muddy - not true here at all. Always appreciate the management of this car wash. Free vacuums. Like I said the first time I reviewed this place, Ill be back.

Review №88

$3 car wash is worth about that. Expect a few small areas that dont come out clean. OK for touch up, but not so much if your vehicle is moderately to heavily soiled. I did not observe too much improvement with the $7 wash and the receipt printer seems to be defunked. My choice is the N Scottsdale Costco wash for $7.99. Consistently good but not perfect either.

$12 for the lowest wash tier that is more than enough. That’s the unlimited monthly plan. Yeah you read that right!

Attendant had an attitude when i asked to remove my antenna before going into car wash. He still did not do so after I asked several times have an attitude the whole time. That little boy is lucky it didnt bend my antenna or I would have straightened it out beating him with it. If you wont do your job than you shouldnt have one!

Review №91

Cost of their top washes are really pricey for not being full service. You might have better luck with the low to mid range washes. Otherwise, they have plenty of free vacuums and car came out looking fine (although, I dried it off myself with a towel thats only included in the most expensive wash)

Review №92

So my friends from Florida do this thing, and I feel so dumb living here most of my life never having this idea. When they leave to run errands, they take thier car through the carwash, it cools your vehicle about 30 or 40 degrees F.! You know, so your AC actually works...

$12 wash includes tire cleaner, tire shine, and wheel scrub. Tires still brown after first wash and lots of dirt not even rinsed off of back of car. Went around for a re-wash and was told they dont normally do that. That you have to have your car inspected first. Machine also does not print receipts and employee says if you want a receipt you have to park, walk up, and ask for one. Displeased with wash and overall service. Wont be returning.

Review №99

After 2 bad experiences with the young guy with gauges, I will not be returning. The first time I went to this car wash, he was standing at the automated kiosk pressing buttons for people (dont know why thats needed) and he made me super uncomfortable. He asked me where I was going, what I was doing later, and just kept going with personal questions even though I was clearly not into it and just wanted a car wash. The second time I went (last week), he was at the entrance to the car wash spraying down cars/giving wipes for the interior. When I rolled my window down to get a wipe, he tells me You should smile more. ??? Im here to get a car wash, not have unwelcome interactions with creepy men. If youre a woman looking to avoid gross car wash guys, avoid this place.
