Very helpful staff. Good value for the money. Completely automatic car wash. After the wash, there are a generous amount of really powerful vacuums available. The vacuums are included in the price of the carwashes, so you dont have to keep on dropping in tokens or swiping your card. Carwashes start at $7.

Was In the area so figured I’d stop by. Wash was mediocre. Super spotty after and no towels ($1 per towel extra). Got the $12 wash and $2 wax won’t think there was any thing special or different from the $5 wash. 1 star for friendly staff and 1 star for vacuums (no air blower though). Would only go back for cheap wash and to use vacuums didn’t even get the dirt off from wheels

Rude as Chit / NEVER RETURNIs there a law saying you can’t be nice to paying customer.Out of nowhere after spending 5 minutes vacuuming I decided to dry off the left over but no“You can only be here 10 minutes only!” No detailing.Me : of your machine does a better job at drying I wouldn’t have to. I’m just drying my car. It’s a car wash!?

It doesn’t matter if I come here once a week and wash my car that car wash even if you buy the gold rush does not guarantee your car will come out clean the manager told me before I go there again to wash my car by hand and then come pay them to wash my car like I understand the vacuums are free and they charge an arm and a leg but their machine should get the dirt off my car since I don’t park in the trees and it’s just gunk from the world

I just moved to San Diego from Portland, so I was looking for a drive-thru car wash, as thats what I am used to and I am usually needing something quick and convenient. I was surprised that the price was even cheaper than the car washes Id go to back home! Very friendly staff, quick service and the vacuum works amazing!

The very best local and value driven Car Wash. The Staff are terrific. Always professional & friendly. A direct reflection of the Management commitment. Also, it does a great car wash on your vehicle! $6, a great deal.

Cheap and quick but the wash is not that clean for the car.

Review №25

I tried this car wash and it is expensive and your car isn’t cleaned afterwards. I spent $12 for a car wash and my car looks like it wasn’t even washed. You have to buy your own rags to continue to wash your car. For $10 you can get a detailed wash inside and out by professionals. Don’t waste your money, time, or energy. Get a proper car wash for cheaper.

Convenient quick automated car wash. They try to put cars too close together at times. If person in front doea something wrong there is NOTHING you can do but go along for the ride. Friendly staff to help with the final touches. Plenty of space to wipe things down if needed and free vacuums.

I came here because my car needed washed and this place was rated so well. I paid for the $12 service, I did not know I needed to ask if I wanted a receipt so No there was no receipt. The hubcaps were still dirty, streaks on windows and I still picked dirt off the car. NEVER. GOING. BACK.

Review №34

Staff was decent but when I got out and looked over my car before vacuuming it I noticed it messed up the paint on my drivers side mirror. It was minor enough that I didnt feel like saying anything, but when I got home to look at it again I noticed it had sanded off a lot of the paint on my hood and roof. This place is gonna mess your car up. Pretty bummed out.

A good low budget choice for a car wash. Six bucks. They provide plenty of vacuums. Not a fancy place but for 6 bucks my car looks decent. Nice people to

Their car wash is very reasonable and their unlimited time vacuums (that are FREE) are great! I was there with my daughter, she had just bought a car at auction and it needed a wash and an overall vacuuming. We got their medium priced car wash ($10.00) which came with a free air freshener and a couple of extras, and of course the free vacuuming! Would definitely recommend this place!

Great location with great, friendly staff. I go once a week and the service is always with a smile and friendly chat. ALL staff is wonderful. The manager is exceptional example of team player shell jump right in and do the dirty work if need be. Trustworthy and friendly. Love that they are In the hood providing jobs to the willing. Glad there in the Mid - City area.

Nice. Actually best car wash drive thru .worked better on my car than soapy Joes. Kind of interesting going thru the wash and seeing the rainbow 🌈 bubbles. Should of brought my kids LOL. Really pleased. U do hand dry your car if youd like afterwards. Or being you own towel.

Review №56

Great car wash. New machine washes really well and the automatic dryer really dries your vehicle to where you hardly have to wipe any excess water on your own. The machine is also compatible with cars with rear wheel drive and low clearance which some car washes can harm your rims or air diffusers. Staff is always cheerful and courteous.

Review №57

Stay in car drive thru wash. Does a good job and also has protector coating. Didnt take long at all. Great place to keep your car looking in tip top shape. Spray blow drying with very little touch up that you have to do yourself. For a perfect shine. Inexpensive. $12.00 for what I described above. I will use again.

Good place new machines, vacuums, friendly workers and attentive manager. Go for the $8 wash as its a promotional offer at the moment and you also get an air freshener with it. The rail that pushes the car forward is flat and doesnt hook on to your wheels which can damage rims. The vacuum is better than others as the nose of the vacuum is smaller and able to fit in smaller areas inside the interior of the car. My only suggestion is that there should be some shade as it does tend to get sunny.

Review №64

This place is really bad.I wanted to get my truck vacuumed, the staff informed me that in order to get it vacuumed I need to get a car wash.I didnt make a big deal about it.I ended up paying the 2nd highest value car wash.Once the car wash was done I went over to pull into a spot to vacuum my truck.The staff kept harassing me.They told me I need to leave or they would call the cops.I ended up leaving and I didnt even get my truck vacuumed.Its Covid 19 and they want to call the cops on me .There is a bunch of unprofessional kids working there.This place will steal your money and not even give you the full services you paid for.They need to go out of business for treating people like that.Unless you want to have your money taken and get nothing in return I highly recommend no one go here for services.By the way It would be nice If I can give this car wash place 0 stars..thats how bad it is.By the way this car wash also does not even have complementary towels to wash the vehicle.I will give my services to Soapy Joes instead...they are professional and will give the services people pay for .

They charged me 5 extra dollars for membership just because I had an Uber sticker on my windshield. I know its only 5 bucks, but I feel like a fool for accepting this injustice. I should have simply taken my business elsewhere.

Thought it was great, AT FIRST, once I moved I attempted to cancel both of my monthly car washes and was shocked to see that my card was charged even after I had made several attempts to cancel. I am still waiting to hear back from them. If I am not contacted in the next 24 hours I will reach out to the BBB as well as contact my bank.

It a good reasonable quick car wash. The vacuum is self service but really strong and you have plenty of time to get done. I have a dog hair problem and the vacuum takes care of it.

Review №75

Got a carwash here. It was pretty fast and very clean car wash. And if you get the carwash the vacuum is free for as long as you need it, which is pretty standard nowadays. Thinking about getting the monthly membership but in not sure, one car wash a day for about $15 dollars a month for the basic, I think $20 for the next package deal and so on, just more features on the wash, might be worth it if you need to wash your car every day.

Im glad they opened one in this location. There is a cheaper car wash at a gas station a little West of this, BUT the wash is spotty and the vacuums have no suction. I was quite disappointed with them, and I will NEVER cheat on Pony Express again. The extra $1 is worth it in quality and service.

Review №85

They dont dry your car here, so in my book thats not good. I rather drive the extra minutes to another car wash. They also dont scub the car before in goes into the wash, so you end up with all these dirty spots. Why do I have to wash my car before I can get my car washed? And why do I have to dry it as well... ? I thought thats what I was paying for
