Garbage!!! Their prices have skyrocketed so dramatically over the last two years it's ridiculous. They pretty much doubled their prices and I was informed they will be raising prices again shortly, and their service isn't even above average. Definitely not worth going here and I will never be back. There are several other options I would rather use for a better quality wash. I mean, come on guys, $40 for a car wash that used to only cost me $25 ? Seriously? What a total rip off. For $40 I can go to seaside and get a full hand wash and mini detail. Bye

Over priced. Subpar cleaning of your vehicle. I can't believe they charge to vacuum your car!? Most places include the vacuuming. Do not waste your money here! Maybe spend more time & attention on taking care of the cars you do take in to clean. Will not be visiting this establishment ever again.

Scratches all over my car, my rims got scratched. White spots from what I'm guessing is wax that never got washed off? I'm horrified, if I had known how horrible this car wash was I never would have came.

Love this place, very fast and professional, got diffrent prices that meets everyone criteria!! I take my cars there and never had an issue with theft or nothing. If left the car so they can detail it come back 20 minutes later and they always greet me and tell me if it meets my standards or if it needs more attention. Never had an issue!! Highly recommend it!

Best carwash in town! They do an excellent job cleaning my car in and out. Always leave here feeling like the interior of my car is like brand new! Sign up for their birthday club to receive discounts. I love that they also fill up your gas.

For a hand wash car wash, and for the price, I am impressed with how thorough and how clean my truck was! They even use air hoses to clean out under the seats, between the seats, and everywhere else. I have never had all that for $35! Coming back for sure.

Good place for a good quality hand car wash
$39.99 outside and they vacuum inside and dry you car.
i was also surprises that when i drop my cash inside the car , they did not keep it. they put it back in my cup holder. this show that what ever cash or coins you leave in the car they will put it back. very honest people. i will definitely come back here .

I feel they did a great job overall. Just wish they had more space for washing vehicles on the hand washing. The workers are pleasant and and do their job well.

The professionalism wasn't equitable to the rates the company charges for their services, I was on "hold" listening to a ringing for approximately 20 minutes to for questions about their oil change services, to find out that they didn't even have the courtesy to apologize for having me wait on the phone for so long (customer service standard to be on hold is ≤3 min)

I've been taking my cars to get cleaned for the past three years and I have no complains. Two of my cars has cloth interior and it gets cleaned very good when I take them to get the cloth cleaned. My big car has leather seats and they also do a good job. Specially in the hand car wash.

I went there for a quick clean and car wash, I was impressed overall! Pricing is very reasonable, my car was vacuumed, wiped down, machine washed, hand dried & the air freshener they used was hella bomb. It's long lasting for the most part. Will definitely go back again!!!

This car wash is not the best. First off if you just leave your car there while you leave the car wash they will just drive it through the machine so they rip you off from there and when you get back to pick up your car they say they "hand-washed" it. One of the cashiers is hard to understand since English isn't his first language. The supervisor doesn't do his job right and most of the time my car is skipped. Gigi is not a good manager, he doesn't speak English good, he cusses at the costumers and the employees. I give this car wash a 1 out 5 stars..

Great place to get your car washed. They provide a little better service than your typical mechanical car washes. They scrub your windows, wheels and bumpers. At the end they hand dry your windows with a towel. Nice people!

45 minute wait. Car still wasn't done. I don't blame the kid that was running back and forth between checking in cars and trying to clean my car. I ended up taking my car home and cleaning the inside of it myself. This isn't the first time it's happened. I would never recommend anybody going to that car wash. EVER!

This place was great in the early 2000s. I keep giving it another chance due to lack of options but they always disappoint. Fingers crossed they can make a comeback.

1st time bringing my Beast, came early. Quick service, my Beast came out sparkling.
Open early. Lots of staff onsite, ready to work, wash and detail.
I highly recommend this place.
Not bad prices.

I come here to get gas and every time I go here the employees are always so nice. They'll even pump your gas for you! How kind! This is the only gas station that I've seen that does this. You also pay after you're done putting in the gas and you don't pay at the pump, which I actually prefer. I never swipe my card at the pump at any gas station because I have a fear that my card info will get stolen.

Very detailed job. Friendly customer service. Fair prices. Highly recommend them. The wait isn't bad either. I always get the second tier hand wash which comes with a coat of wax. They have a deli next door where you can eat while waiting.

If you need your car clean asap not the best detailing you should come here it's a fair job there's a few streaks on the windows and on the vehicle I said inside and out the inside looks like I did it when I'm in a hurry I cleaned the garbage from inside so they had the opportunity to detail it easier I saw how so many cars arrived here and it's up to you if you come back

The fellas here did a great job washing, vacuuming, and polishing my ride. It was my first time getting both exterior and interior done, and I'll definitely be back! Love that it's affordable too!!
