Pretty good experience. Staying in the area for a couple weeks, bought the $49 unlimited carwash pass. Best time to come is 9am-11am weekdays. If you buy the pass you must cancel it or they will auto charge you every month. Interesting to watch everyone work and the people who bring their cars in to be washed. They offer other services like oil changes, gasoline and have a large gift shop to keep you occupied while waiting. Very physical job, out in the elements, if you like their work, leave a tip!
I have the $69.99 unlimited pass but when I got home, I found food crumbs under the seats and garbage between the drivers seat and console but everything else is clean but not that sparkling clean. Ford the price you pay, even if you just pay a one time car wash, it wasnt that good. They are fast though and it would probably take me more than double the time if I do it myself. The little shop inside has a lot of nice stuff for random buys and gifts.
Thank you, appreciated your work and will go back again! Management is nice and seems to carry about their business!
Service is prompt! It is expensive unless you have a coupon through the mail. Overall the attendants do a good job. You can browse the gift store on the premises - it sells great merchandise.......pricey!
I’ve been coming here for a couple years since they are a true hand car wash and don’t scratch up your car with automated brushes or rollers. Victor is a great guy and always makes sure I get great service.I decided to give them my 32 year old VW with badly oxidized paint for their premium detail service.Jorge and his team spent all day on it and did an outstanding job and brought the paint back to life with a shine that it hasn’t had for years. They did everything by hand and I told him he should have charged more.It was such a drastic difference, my wife thought the van got a paint job!I highly recommend this place⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
We took our car today. It was a good car wash. I did not take our car to a brush car wash. This place has a gas pump so next time we buy gas together. Also, the shop is a cute little place and people working here are definitely nice. One thing to be noted is to hard to find. But this is a worhwhile place to come back all the time.
Daniel is outstanding — he ensures this touchless car wash runs without a hitch, to the customer’s requests. He is the reason I bring my car here, and here only.
Took my car in for a wash and upgraded for a full interior cleaning. The worst service and job I’ve ever experienced by a car washing / auto detailing business. Looking inside, I can tell they didn’t spend much time vacuuming or even drying my floor mats, which were soaking wet when they put them back in the car. When I expressed my disappointment the staff responsible were pretending that they didn’t comprehend and understand me. Seriously acted like they didn’t understand or speak English. I kept repeating “manager please. Manager please,” and again, nobody understood even though when they understood and spoke perfect English when they sold me on upgrading the service. If the manager is reading this. Please contact me. I want my money back. I will provide photos of the receipt and the interior of the car for you.
When I entered at the vacuum area, it was so crowded that I had to wait like 5 mins to see someone.Then I entered the waiting area. And i was confused. The area was one of the most randomly pretty home decor store.You can get 5 dollars maximum cashback if you need cash for tip.They have free coffee for you as well.Car wash service itself was decent. It came with 2 days satisfaction guaranteed warranty.
It was okay they didnt get all the bugs off the front of the van. Plus did not get in places the rear bumper clean.
Good costumer service.
Attention to Tesla ownersI brought my brand new Tesla Model 3 to Auto Pride San Carlos location and came back with deep 3-inch scratch on my trunk. They wont assume responsibility. I got in a room with the manager reviewing footage of my car. We couldnt find a footage when they damaged by car but there is a footage right before they waxed my car and clearly showed there was no scratch. The manager (and one other person) admitted there is no damage there on that footage but theyre not willing to take responsibility unless there is a clear proof of them scratching my car, which is pretty much impossible because the car is far away from the CCTV camera and you all know the quality of CCTV cameras.I guess it also my fault for not checking the car thoroughly after they wash/wax it. I only noticed the scratch after I walked around the car when I got home.Will definitely never come back here again. Had to cancel both our monthly passes.tldr; avoid this place if you have a tesla. my brand new tesla got a deep scratch here and they arent not admitting to causing it despite having a footage of my car without any scratch when entering the shop. this place is too rough for teslas questionable paint qualityedit: 3 months later, they’re still charging me subscription fee. now I have to go dispute it with my credit card company. I wish I could give them negative stars
Did not do a good job. Had to go back and ha e them wipe down multiple areas and the vacuum job was done poorly too. Truck before me had to be washed again because owner complained too. Used to be good for a wash not sure whats going on.
Great experience. Didnt feel like they hurried to be done with car at all and they have a nice little store and sitting area while you wait. And it was $10 off because I had gotten my oil changed there the week prior, which was a nice thank you...
These guys are very efficient and fast while being friendly and professional. Same crew has been there for years.
Super friendly staff. I love going to a place where they take the time and recognize you. I have the month special and is worth it. Much respect for hard working people who can help when asked. My car got in an accident I took it there after it got out of the shop and they spotted more scratch I wasnt aware of. They know their usuals and grateful for their service.
East inl and out have the monthly pass works great.
Auto Pride does a great basic car wash but Im not sure if you get what you pay for with the more expensive washes. Sometimes they ask what air freshener youd like, sometimes they dont. The silver package specially says it comes with it so I would expect to be asked every time.That being said, if you do get a hand wax or a detail, they do a great job.
Its My fault, I didnt realize the time and that my car wash would take so long. I had an important doctors appointment to make it to. The staff was super kind, pulled my car out of the line-up, and even offered to allow me to come back later. Super impressed!
Nice auto carwash and its have a cheapest carwash for 29.99😊
The staff in the Quick Lube section were very polite and professional. The manager Tony was very knowledgeable and was sure to inform me of all the needs of my vehicle. I will definitely return and refer my family and friends.
This place is great. Came in middle of the day on a weekday. Everyone is very professional and efficient. I had a time constraint when I came in and they checked first to make sure they could get it done in time, and they delivered. Im not sure which package I purchased but I got a wash, hand wax, interior vacuum, mat shampoo and surface clean, plus lemon scent. The service was excellent with two exceptions. They completely forgot the console storage bin in between the seats, and there was no lemon scent that I could detect. The console was pretty cruddy, and though Im pretty certain theyd take care of it if I went back, it is such a small space I just did it myself. As for the scent, my car is otherwise so clean, and it was done so quickly that Im willing to overlook it and give this place another try.Bonus: this place has the cutest gift shop attached. Part of my wait time just melted away. I would probably stop in just to buy a nice card or a gift. Selections for kids too. Nice surprise.I think Auto Pride car wash is worth the money.
Call place 40 bucks a month unlimited washes
Been going here for years! Have had many oil changes and car washes here. Great job!
Good service but beware of coupon with gas because they wont honor it with other coupons, which is not noted in the advertisement. Youll save more by downloading their coupon online and getting gas elsewhere. I felt ripped off because I wouldve saved $10 at Costco gas had I known.
I washed my car there twice and both times I had to come back and make them rewash it. The first time the exterior havent been cleaned properly and two of the door handles were all sticky of wax. The second time the car seats were wet! One of the worst car wash services I experienced. If you value your time simply stay away.
If I could give negative stars, I would. Not only did they not wipe down my interiors but they tried to upsell me on a shampoo and wash. I pulled out some armor all and showed them that it just needed some armor all. Why am I better at washing my car than professionals? They didnt even attempt to wipe anything down before I complained twice. A manager finally made it right after I showed him how I personally whipped down a spot with my own armor all. Seriously? The absolute worst. I paid for the silver package which apparently just means that they clean the outside. No, not really. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Good car wash, hand wax is a bit pricey but worth it
Very good car wash, store has quality products including real imported Italian ice creams. Only complaint is sometimes the manual drying process is not completely finished. Last time I went they didnt dry out the back part of my cars trunk.
40 bucks a mouth unlimited washes
Again I either have been asleep or have missed how much a simple wash can cost. Good service, nice store inside and a decent place to hang out waiting for your car
Reasonably priced and fast. They did a good job
Its reasonably priced for a quick superficial wash.
Great service! Stellar car wash inside and out! Excellent price! Quick!PS....use the $5 coupon on their website when you go
Only reason I actually gave stars is because they did a good job with the interior detailing. But the exterior wash is completely trash. My clear coat has scratches and swirl marks every where now. When I told the guy that my car didnt have any scratches when I brought it an showed him the new scratches he told me they were SPIDER WEBS loooooool. I recently restored my clear coat so I know none of those scratches were there. Would definitely tell anybody to steer clear if you care about the condition of your cars paint. (Especially if its black)
They have a nice gift shop
A great quick spot to clean up and out your car at a good value!
I purchase the monthly pass from Auto Pride, it is definitely the way to go in terms of value. The San Carlos location does a great job and are pleasant to deal with. Ironically, the Burlingame location is just the opposite, but his review is for the San Carlos location
You can see them detailing cars in direct sunlight on 80+ degree days... If that doesnt bother you, try cleaning your car with sandpaper. Its eco-friendly because it saves water ;-)Seriously though, theyre slow and youll still drive away with soap bubbles in your mirrors/door jams and find dirty spots after you get home. Not worth the price.
My husband went takes my car here and they are super friendly, courteous, thorough, and they go the extra mile. Oil change and inspection includes a car wash. We love this place.
First time, I was not impressed so they again rewashed it. Very courteous staff!
Quick service, good job and friendly staff
Best service in or around town. Oil car wash, inspection, you name it. These guys are pros. They go above and beyond. Customer centric.
Good place to have your car cleaned. With lots of options!!
Having a car and getting it cleaned suddenly becomes a concern, the rotating brushes at the local gas station dont seem good enough anymore.After some research I came across this company and thought that they could be the solution for an overly cautious car owner. The whole job is done by hand.So how did it turn out? it takes about 20 to 30 minutes which you can spend having a coffee, surfing the web and watch other people work.And the car came out showroom cleanI have to give the sales man big plus, he actually recommends you car needs and does a great costumer service!When my car was ready I notice that my rims were dirty and did not had any armorol on the tires how ever one of the staff members apologized and deeply clean my tires which made my day.Ill be back once the car deserves a good cleaning again.
I went to wash my car today at 5:55 PM and horribly service. I recommend the manager to have a good attention.
They are open fyi
Worse car wash in the area. Interior detailing was awful. After telling the guy that he did a terrible job, he came back a wiped like 30 seconds inside and left without any comment. Worst $50 spent. Will not come back
They do a great job.
This place allows for a monthly membership which will save you a lot of money, specially if you are a ride share driver =)I give it 4 stars because they over use their towels causing dirty streaks on glass. Couple of times I had to get them to wipe again because the mist of the spray bottles that they use on the car in front, will get onto yours. On a positive note, they are very fast and seem constant on their work. They have a mini shop with cold drinks and gifts. seating area is provided and it has restrooms!!(updated:)After using this location for a few months now, I have lowered the rating as I have noticed that sometimes they will barely vacuum correctly. I had to install my dash cam to catch them just blowing things and light vacuuming were the eye can see. Also had an issue with an employee who is rude (Juan Jimenez) management is aware and nothing has been done.
Quite simply the best within 30 miles! Well staffed,organized and with high standards of customer service.
I brought my car for a car wash and detail inside i left the car all day the sales person he told me for $150.00, hes going to put wax but they didnt put wax, i come to pick up and seats and carpet was super wet, when i told the person about the wax they ask the sales person and he said no i never told him about wax and i told the manager i will never coming back to this car wash again. NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR WASH.
Danny is a great manager there his customers service is his #1 priority!
Theyre awesome. Great gift shop also.
Great service, fast, excellent prices easy transaction. Highly Recommend!
They do more thorough job here than the Redwood City location.
On the more expensive side. Fairly good cleaning job, although some chemical they clean interior with always leaves a nauseating smell in our cars.
My previous review for some reason is not showing up, so here I go again.Was better prior to 2007 or so. My last visit was in 2012, and I will not be returning unless some things change. Interior was always good, exterior sucked. That, and hand washes are the most dangerous form of washing used in modern car washes. Dirt is rolled around on the surface by hard-to-clean wash mitts and/or sponges. Better to have foam brushes which simply fling the dirt of the car while providing a mild polishing effect.As a car wash enthusiast, I made a list of 5 things that could help you (some options are expensive though).Increasing volume:1) Convert to a hybrid formant, with a touchless option. Upgrade high pressure to a Peco PE905 (or something similar, I happen to like Peco stuff) with van height manifolds. Use it as the main piece if a customer wants touchless, or a support piece with friction. Have at least 1 top brush and 2 sets of wraps if possible. Maybe do a Peco TWC2122ss for this. I would advise having a set of van height side washers staggered within the exit wrap space to increase cleaning. Beneath the top brush would ideally be a pair of sillwashers to assist in wheel cleaning. Use a high pressure arch prior to presoak application to eliminate prepping. This combination of equipment would allow for higher chain speeds while still accommodating customers who fear foam brushes. Plus, no employees would be needed to physically was cars.2) Add an exterior-only lane, packages, and unlimited wash passes. This allows customers to get cheaper, faster washes if they have limited time or require a fast result. Best with a hybrid tunnel to allow higher chain speeds. Add unlimited wash passes (package specific) to encourage weekly washers to come and save money.3) Use chemistry and the drought to your advantage. Market the facility as eco-friendly and recycle water to encourage customers to come for the sake of the environment. Add services like RAIN-X or Sheenology to the top package (both work best with EE or flex-serve hybrid tunnels) to encourage customers to buy higher packages. Add tire shine machines to save time in the detail area along with cost of tire shine usage.4) Dont block viewing windows. Kids LOVE to be able to follow cars as they go through the tunnel, and they like to see the wash process. This is especially true in friction/hybrid tunnels.5) Keep on improving customer service. No matter how good it is, in a customers mind it can generally always be better.These additions could make your facility truly the best in San Carlos. That, and having a hybrid tunnel would bring me and those who value quality back again.
Fast and friendly. Nice waiting area.
Decent wash and these folks move through a line.
No brushes or clothes. Completely touch less.
I paid 40 dollars for incomplete cleaning. What a joke.
This place is really hit-or-miss sometimes I get a real nice car wash and sometimes they miss a bunch of spots last summer I did the full $200 auto detailing service and was definitely disappointed
Usually go for an oil change and Car wash. My last time there I was left with a streak I wasn’t able to remove from my windshield and spiderwebs in my passenger mirror. Not only that I had about $10 worth of coins in a drawstring bag used for parking that I left in my center console. As I drove away I looked in my center console and the bag was missing.
They give you a wipe to clean your dash and free vacuums.
Consistent fast and adequate service.
My windows and car exterior were cleaned well, but my interior was still filthy.
Clean, friendly and usually quick
Been going there for years prices have gone up dramatically and the car washes arent as good
👌
Great service and nice personal
Love the gift shop!
They did well on the windows and interior but the rest of my car was left sappy and spotty.
Great service here.
Good work.
