This is a very efficient good self-service car wash. I recommend that you read all of the available options prior to putting your money in so that you dont waste money while figuring out what you want to do next. I also highly recommend bringing your own drying towels. The final bit of advice I have if youre new to this place is to do the quick drying rinse. It really was quick drying and didnt leave spots on the car.

One of few around. Can get a good wash and vacuum for $3.

I actually went here to find a flash invader spins if you know what that is then youre awesome unfortunately the invasion that used to be here was taken down and painted over by a mural. I was so sad and to realize this when I parked across the street walked over and checked the wall and could see the remnants of the plaster holding the tile artwork in place but the artwork itself was gone. Its so hard to find spins in LA anyway and to have them taken down is just a tragedy!

You would think that, like most businesses, this one would try to make it easy for you to give it money. That does not seem to be the case here. On my visit one quarter machine was broken, and the other stopped working as soon as Id finished the soap scrub. No out of service light or anything, just wouldnt take any bills I tried to feed it. I had to plead with the liquor store guy next door to change a dollar so I could rinse the soap off my car. If this were my business, I would ensure that there were at least two functional quarter machines, or even—gasp—accept credit cards. Guess this place is raking in enough dough that its no problem to leave you with a sudsy, half-washed car.

Regular here.. its cool aside from the machines in terms of the car cloths & air fresheners taking your damn quarters sometimes.

Great place to get your car wash, in n out, not too much foot traffic which I like...

I actually love this car wash. The parking lot is small but what isn’t in cali. Nice views here and I love that it’s right at the end of the street. Easy vacuum access coming from the beach

2$ for wash & 1$ for vacuum for 4 minutes (each). Cannot pause timer once started. More than likely need to pay for two wash cycles if you dont have someone with you to help. Saw a few people walk away as the coin machine did not dispense quarters required to operate car wash Can get busy during weekends. No one to help you out, completely self operated. Bring your own towels to dry.

They’ve lowered the water pressure on all stalls which is unfortunate. The pressure is just enough to get basic dirt off your vehicle.Also, there were 2-3 worker vehicles there during a busy Sunday morning causing congestion for customers.Finally, no credit cards are accepted.

SANTA MONICAS FAVORITE CAR WASH SPOTS...OR ONE OF THEM...ITS BETTER AT NIGHT LATER HOURS!! Oh nobody does it for u btw.

Had to take pictures, why not, cool place to wash for car yourself and still see whats going on, a bit cheaper than the rest of the self serve washes.

It does the trick when everything is functioning. Im not saying this place is horrible. .Lets just say I havent been to one that is worse than this one so far, but to be fair I havent been to one that is cheaper either. ($2 for 4 mins)

I love this place. Just one problem, homeless sleeping making me feel very uncomfortable. But nothing this place can do about it.

No attendant on duty, Only accept $1 bills no credit card the hoses are not long enough not going back But the do it yourself near marine and Lincoln is very very five star service quality everything!

Home away from home

Dudes always around panhandling and almost harassing females especially to help wash or vacuum not taking no for an answer. but its ok other than that

Best price. Like doing myself

I can think when I wash my car here. Interesting people always hanging around. Forgot to vacuum....Ive been spraying my car clean here since the 70s. Thanx 4 the memories!!!

$1 to vacuum great price and they work

My car is clean, im glad they recycle the water.

8 quarters gets a 4 minute washing. Not for a quickie

The machine took about $5 worth of quarters, only counting 75cents. I was unable to wash my car. I called the phone # and left a message a few days ago and have not received a call back. This place is a scam, dont go here.

Great self-service car wash! The vacuums here work really well!

No sink air pressure for car vacuum very poor suction other than that premises well maintained

Nice way to do a bit of work out. You can wash and air-dry on the way home...all up to you.

Kind of so-so experience: Tools are good and system is fine. But the posted 3 dollars does not get your car washed (unless you are some kind of washing wizard).Bring plenty quarters: Their change machine did not look like it has been working this decade. Nearby convenience store is fed up with providing change for the car wash.Ideally bring somebody to help you and feed the machine: Once it runs to zero you have to refill to $3 again.

$2 for 4 min of water fun! I got the entire car done! People lined up and took turns. It was tight but you could park for a while to vacuum and dry your car. With full service wash at $20 before tips, I plan to alternate between full service and self service. I could go to the one in Venice or MDR, but this one seemed the most civilized. How to do it in 4 minutes? Dont bother with the initial rinse and go with soaps right away! If you have a buddy, bring him/her to help brush the dirty parts (like wheels). Dont do spit free rinse and just do high pressure water rinse. Then wipe the car down quickly!!

Spent about an hour detailing my car there, it’s a perfect little spot to relax and clean your ride. Also, Invader (street artist) was just there and left a little pixel art there for us. Pro-tip: enough quarters and a handy towel makes it more enjoyable.

Really affordable $2 for 5 minutes

Price excellent and open 24 hours

Used this place to do a quick wash/vacuum before returning our hire car. Take plenty quarters, saves using the change machine, but no way was the vacuum 4 minutes

Be sure you dont run out of soap while using the foam brush when the owner is around. Keep feeding the machine whatever you do when she is nearby. The instructions on how to use the foam brush are posted. Follow the rules or be prepared to get instructed.

Hmmmm lets see? Car wash & a Liquor store right there next door??? So people for $2.00 car wash & $2.50 for an Ice Cold Brew plus your on Main St. downtown Santa Monica & the beach is right there too? I say Winning. Ill see you there... pffft Im going rt now. Late

Easy to operate and affordable. Of course it helps when a friend helps you figure it out the first time, 😁. Thanks Zac!💕

Hope owners get notifications. There is no soap coming out of the sprayer or brush, I will take down this review if someone gives me my money or shows up to refill soap soon. Left two voicemails.

I go here frequently to wash my motorcycle, and it works alright. But I feel it could be improved. Could be cleaner and more updated. Also paid towel dispenser took my $s and did not give me a towel. Never have seen anyone working there, (when Ive had problems) but someone must. Its a good enough place to be popular in its area.

Not a bad spot

The drive through express places are better deals since they let you vac away with no timer. This place is the best cheap choice in Venice.

Everything works great. I never like to use automated car wash. When you put a little of your own effort the car always seems to get cleaner.

It little to small for me. As I stated washing my friend car people this person comes up and ask if you would like a $60 job done to her car.

One of the few coin ops in the area. Several bays so rarely a wait. Always clean and in good working order.

Love it

Gotta be quick

$2 for wash. $1 for vacuum. The change machine doesnt always work. Best to bring your own quarters.

So quick and easy and much better than the crazy expensive hand washes around town. It never has any problems.

Cheap place to get your car washed an vacuumed. Access is poor but at worst Ive had to wait 5 minutes. Good pressure on power washer and soap is sudsy.

Not easy to access

Great Beach location Great price and spot free rinse.

Good system, pretty typical self wash place. Change machine exchanges 1&5s only nothing larger.

This place has been in the same spot since the Earth cooled and hasnt been upgraded since!TAKE PLENTY OF QUATERS! BOTH MACHINES ARE BROKEN...and the nice man at the store across the lot will only five you $2. Hes sick of it too!😠

Great location, fun place to wash your car. Sometimes I find the suds are out or low and the place should be maintained a bit better, so thats why its not a 5 star.

Fairly mediocre do-it-yourself style car wash.

This is a great place to take your spouse and fight in public

Cheap and easy!

24 hr car wash do it your self easy to use

Good price!!!! The best Santa Mónica

Pretty straightforward car wash facilities. $2 for 4 minutes of a single cycle.

Good machines. Doesnt take credit cards.

Everything works, usually. One coin machine was jammed last time I went. Vacuums are not the greatest.

Average do it yourself place. The coin machine just ate my $5.I know mistakes happen, but I dont think Ill come back because I can not trust the coin machine.

Good place to wash your car good price

Affordable and they fix huffing scratches etc for the low!!!

Bring cash and change!

The attendant there was careless and reckless with pushing the garbage canister around and pushed it directly into my car and dented it. Tried to call the number on website and is no longer in service. And on top of it he was an Ass about it.

Its a real good Carwash

Clean, operational, bill changer. Does not accept cards.

This was the second time in which a five minute car wash got shortened to three!

Not great since the rusty roof leaks on your car as you wash it

Quick an inexpensive.

Because clean cars keep the PD away

My go-to place for spray bays for over 4 years. Only $2 to start.

Awesome

8 quarters for 4 minutes. The trick is to come with a friend!

Budget minded car wash

Convenient cheap

Fast easy clean

Great for the price

Good service

Easy to use and cheap

Yesssss

Very nice

Love this place

Great place

Nothing really compares

Very cheap very good

Good for fast laundry ... in the Münz machines I would only throw something in when a service staff is present ... because the machines are a bit older and not work so well

I havent actually been here

The exchange does not work. And in general its time to fix it

Your car will be clean here

Kk

Economic car wash.
