Probably the best cheap car wash available. The system gets your car pretty spotless on its first try. I mean you cant ask for much more for $6. There is rarely any kind of wait which is also helpful. Free Vacuums available if you want to tidy up

Paid $175 for a $50 detail at this location. The window had lint from the towel, the trunk area had tree branches, and overall was a bad wash. Employees were polite, but they did not spend enough time on my car.Do not recommend. They’re making too much money to care about your vehicle.

I really like how there is a person at the beginning who power washes your car and a person at the end that dries off your car. Totally worth $6 for the basic wash.

They are a little expensive but they do a good job.

These guys are great! For $6 you get a swell wash, a hand dry at the end (make sure to give them a to please!), and free access to the vacuums after the wash (or before. Just make sure to not be a chump and use the vacs without a wash). As the price goes up, you get more things like wax, tire shine, etc. If you find yourself going a couple times a month, they have special deals for several washes at a flat price. Theres also a detail crew on site if you need every nook and cranny inside cleaned. A quick jaunt down El Cajon Blvd makes this place an easy drive from College, University, or even City Heights. I live in Talmadge and its worth the drive :)

Good place, cheap but good wash. With all automatic washes, be sure to keep your car well waxed to prevent abrasions from machines. The monthly unlimited pass is the way to go.

This has got to be the absolute BEST deal in town. For as little as $6 you get your car washed and hand dried. But wait, theres more...FREE vacumns.

SUPER STONG VACUUMS. which I think is really the most important part here. Soo many car washes have weak, almost worthless, vacuum. It’s still a touch car wash so that turns a lot of people off but if you don’t care about paint it does a good job, and the price is good. but almost all auto touch washes are about the same. For sure will keep coming back for the vacuums

This is why I do hand wash and not machine look at this photo of the paint and scratchs on my new car please dont ever go to a company that cant fix a problem that there machine caused unfortunately Alex cant take full responsibility of the damage and say that he will fix it instead of making the same excuses for all other customers that went to this place check yelp for more reviews and pictures you will see more cars damages wont ever do business for a company that cant help fix someone car never coming back lawsuit is the only way to get this fixed.

Review №27

UPDATED 10/9/30. I lowered my rating. For the last 6+ months, the pre-rinsing is inconsistent. I rinse BEFORE going. The hand drying isnt thorough, so I bring an extra rag to finish up. Sorry but some changes need to be made or Ia going elsewhere.

Really Fast & Clean! Only a few complain about this car wash. One thing that they need to understand is that its a EXPRESS Car wash, not a royalty service wash. You literally set your car into Neutral and ride with the wave while you let the machines do the work.For the price of what they offer?! Its not bad considering spending a full $40 somewhere else having someone wash it for you when the machine here can do it itself. Id rather spend the $14 for the full premium wash and use the unlimited vacuum that they have a clean everything my self. Saves you an extra $30 dollars for you ass not to be lazy! If you dont like their service, then take your freaking money else where. Money cant buy service!

Review №37

They have a black Mercedes parked in the auto parking lot for display as a representation of their work yet surely they do not clean that vehicle making use of the automatic machine wash. After a single pass with the equipment cars and truck wash my car has a load of lengthy horizontal scrapes on the black trim bordering my breathtaking roof. Ill have to obtain all the scrapes brightened out by an actual car detailer currently ... sigh DO NOT BRING YOUR Cars And Truck RIGHT HERE.

One of the better car washes in town. The self service vacuum cleaners are powerful and allow you to get into most of the nooks and crannies of your car. You should either bring a small towel or if youre going go there regularly be part of their towel exchange program and pay the $2 for the use of their towels.

State of the art equipment. I like the suction of the vacuum cleaners. A one-time $2 will get you a terry cloth that you can trade for a clean one every time you return. 👌

Free vacuums with a wash... during peak hours they have a five minute rule so come when they are slow. The auto wash did a good job... you can tell they keep it maintained. Several choices the most expensive is 14 dollars... the dry isnt great so bring your own shammy for a quick touch up.

I got in and out in like 6 minutes and paid $9 for a standard laundry. I assume theres an also less expensive alternative ... maybe $6 for standard soap and also water. My preferred thing about this place is the FREE Vacuum!

Review №51

Just recently moved to La Mesa and needed a new nearby carwash. After seeing the positive reviews I decided to give Aqua Clean a shot. I went with the $14 Tidal wave wash.Everyone who worked there was very courteous and professional. They sprayed down my car with pressure washers before going through the automated wash which I appreciated. Coming out on the other side they hand dried my car and after I used the free (unlimited) vacuums to clean out my car.The only two negative experiences I had (and why it is 4 stars and not 5) is that the wash was supposed to come with tire dressing, but after getting home I realized they only put tire dressing on half the tire and this was the same on all 4 tires. (picture included) I would have rather had no tire dressing then just part of my tire being shiny and the rest dullAlso, a hot wax was supposed to be included as well. I did not notice any hot wax, but it may have been during the automated portion of the car wash so I did not deduct any stars because of this.All in all I will definitely be returning in the future and if the tire dressing is worked out would be happy to give this place 5 stars.Update #1The tire dressing issue seems like it was fixed. Went back for a second visit last weekend and all tires were evenly covered. Also spotted the hot wax during the wash. Overall highly recommend this car wash.

Excellent Carwash for a great price. Personally, I find the basic $6 carwash to be the best value. Your car really doesnt get much cleaner with all of the extras you can buy. The hand towel dry at the end makes this the best! By far better and cheaper than any place Ive been. Wash club pays for itself if you wash once per week.

It is just your average drive through car wash. They do have a vaccume area there and they do a hand dry. It is not a very good dry but it works. You can choose to pay more for the full detail work up which I have not done yet.
