Services
For a low monthly price you can choose your car wash package and wash your vehicle as often as you want. Plus, you can use the Express Lane for even faster service! We'll give you a barcode so you can surf in whenever your vehicle needs a little TLC. Now that's convenience on the go! Our unlimited wash programs are for one vehicle that conveniently charge your credit card a monthly membership price every 30 days.
When you wash your car on pavement, the rinse water runoff - along with all the chemicals it contains - can go to storm drains that empty directly into rivers and streams. This pollution has been proven to negatively impact aquatic life and ecosystems. WaterSavers car washes prevent water pollution by routing wash water to treatment prior to its return to the environment.
Surf Thru Express Car Washing is the next generation of quality car care. Instead of a 30-60 minute wait at a full service car wash, Surf Thru guests get in and out in as little as 5 minutes. Surf Thru uses the very best wash equipment in the industry and every wash includes a final rinse with purified water so your vehicle will never have water spots.
Washing your vehicles may not be a big line item in your budget, but we bet payroll is. And there are few expenses that bring a lower return than paying your drivers to watch their car get washed. At Surf Thru Express we understand this recurring aggravation. In as little as 5 minutes your vehicle will be in and out of our state-of-the art, eco-friendly carwash.
This is Surf Thru. This is Surf Thru Express Car Wash's eleventh location and their first location. Surf Thru Express Car Wash is pleased to announce the opening of their newest location at 1971 N. Oxnard Blvd, Oxnard, CA 93036. This is Surf Thru Express Car Wash's tenth location and first location in southern California.

Shady Business Practices - Beware!!

What has happened to this car wash!? A couple of years ago when this place first opened we bought TWO car wash cards, which gave us 5 "ultimate" washes per month, per card. To do this we agreed to have a monthly automatic payment deduction of $30 a month per card come out of our bank account, so $60 dollars per month total.

Without warning, and without notice, we noticed last month that they started taking out of our bank account $35.00 a month for a total of $70.00! What sort of business practice is this? They raise prices but apparently don&apos

One of the few car washes I've ever really liked. It must be the soap and clean water they use. Vacuums and air hoses are included and aplenty. Line moves fast if there is one. Now go wash that thing.

The location at River Rd & Orange Grove needs some better adjust equipment. I have unlimited car washes, so my experiences are based on more than 4 yrs and hundreds of visits.
Anyway, the left side of my car never gets clean because the washing brushes need adjusting. The air drying blowers also need adjusting, but an upgrade would be the best option. My car never comes out even semi dry. The right side is always super wet, but the left side isn't any better really.
The location at Grant & Wilmot by Costco is super good, everything works well and my car always comes out looking great.

I got stuck in the car wash.. not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES. I decided to go back around for a second wash since the car was splattered with soap all over. Even after the second time, soap streaks were still on my car. Not to mention, your cashier was maskless and had the sniffles and doesnt know how to social distance. Horrible. $18 for something an 8 year old could do.

This car wash was pretty awful. After paying $18 (which isn't an issue) my car was just as dirty when it came out. The roof wasn't even touched! And the vacuums were held together by duct tape. Definitely won't return!

Asked for the number one/top of line wash. Received the #2. Went back through, got what we asked for... and there were STILL patches of the car that were not even vaguely clean. After the third run through the car is STILL visibly dirty. My wife and I left, spent more money on cleaning supplies, and did it ourselves.
Used to love this place, truly, but the level of effort by the young folks on the scrub brushes was utterly sad. Not going back

I am not sure what their idea of tireshine is but I spent $10 on a car wash that I could have gone to a quicker express and used my own tire shine. But I'm new to Tucson still learning my way around but I won't need this location anymore

I'm new to Reno, so I called around to find out about local car washes. First of all, Surf Thru was the most polite and helpful on the phone. The price is right, so I went to get a car wash. The friendly service continued when I got on site. They were so helpful with guiding through the car wash. The car wash itself was great - my car came out clean. And the vaccums were great quality.

I highly recommend this Surf Thru location.

It feels like they're missing half of their machines. There's a large gap between the washing brushes and the blow dryer. It would have been fine if it cleaned my car fully but it left a few areas uncleaned and untouched. The Surf Thru next to Costco on Kolb is better.

Beware this car wash is awful! I drove through 2 Saturday's ago with my 4 year old daughter and it broke down in the middle of the wash ! We were stuck in there for about 30 mins and my little girl was terrified ! In my 30 years of driving I have never been stuck in a car wash ! So when they let us out they said come back and get a refund so when I did just today they said oh you don't have a receipt so how do I know you aren't making this up ?? Who would make up something like that ? I got very mad and have called the manager in hopes he will refund my money ! Don't use this

It is really classy when you have your 2 people washing the car go into the parking lot to make a drug deal at your job. Wow really??? Some guy pulls up on a motorcycle here for a bit into a white Toyota 4 Runner then bounces. Yeah really obvious. Doesn't this place watch there employees. Especially the one that says supervisor. This place has really gone down hill since opening. Also not only that but one of the arms that washes the car breaks off during a wash and almost hits my Mercedes Benz.

Very convenient with several locations in town. However, I'm VERY upset about their policies.
They sell a card for $30 per month that allows you 5 washes a month. My husband and I each have a car. We often forget to take the card with us and missed several car washes because we didn't have the card. So we took a picture on our phone of the car wash card in order to always have it on us.
Today we were given a "final warning" that that's not allowed. We asked for a second card and were told only 1 card is allowed per account. So I'm giving YOU money every month for my

This is the second time I've given this particular location a chance. It's more convenient for me to go to this location because of work, but I will not be returning. On my first visit, the vending machine that sells towels etc. took my $5 without dispensing any product. There was nobody on location to help or refund me. The second visit, I literally was stuck in the middle of the car wash for almost five minutes because someone in the back was stuck and the rollers stopped. Of course this isn't typical, but I was a little panicked because nobody walked up until the very end to tell

I used to frequent this location since they opened. I've taken all of my vehicles that I've had throughout the years and always loved it. About 2 weeks ago, the machines ripped off and shattered my Jeeps ventshade that came with the vehicle. Caused a dent. They gave me the go around for over a week and then said they will not take the blame because the machines were functioning properly that day and because I already had a chip in the paint with rust. Thats what they tell everybody if yall look at the reviews. I understand why they wouldn't want to help with the hood that makes sense because of

I like to go to this Surf Thru Car Wash. it is in an excellent location near the on and off ramp for Hwy 395/Interstate 580. The staff is super nice and helpful. They have self vacuums after you get your car wash. Having a pass, it includes unlimited washes and you get some additional items, such as, bag for any trash, air freshener and a "towel" to wipe down the inside of your vehicle. Sometimes the was doesn't get all the dirt spots on the car and I did notice with the black paint job I have on my vehicle it leaves rings or circles on it.

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR VEHICLE AFTER! There were long swipe scratches on my new Red car from the SURFS THRU EQUIPMENT. Please comment/contact me if anything shows up on your vehicle as at this moment I have been called a liar by the Area Manager after he 'reviewed film'. Surely you may be skeptical of my review, but if I'm not the only one on here I'd like to know because I've been bullied out :( I'm hoping I get some help through multiple cases in Yelp

Good luck, this company does not care nor take responsibility for any mistakes made

Usually am ok with this place, but I asked the attendants to not manually push mirrors in. Then at last second they slammed them closed. When I opened them back up, both mirrors were out of adjustment! They need to listen to the vehicle owners! Sad. UPDATE. Went back, asked not to close my mirrors. Yet again they insisted. Taking a look at another review a couple months back it seems it's owner discretion Your manager was rude and it's seems there is conflicting information here!

Car was damaged my wheels, unfortunately this happened and the manager called me and said that 10,000 cars run through the wash every month and that this happened to only my car, this is absolutely a lie. I felt my car wheel turning towards the right side past the fire extinguisher and it scraped it. I spoke two of the car wash attendants and they agreed that that side of the wash has a break in the tracks. Also they said few weeks ago they had someone weld the track.

It's a shame, I've gone through this was many times without issues but the last two times it scraped my wheel both times

I've been through this wash multiple times before with my Thule bike rack on the back but apparently it's not allowed so as I am about to go through the wash they make me exit cause I have to take it off. What they should've done if they had good customer service was to let me aware of the new implemented rule and let me go through as I had done multiple times before and then make it clear no bikes racks going forward.
Disappointed.

12/30/19 at 12:39 pm - I order the $14.00 car wash. Pulled up to find to young men one guiding your car on the tracks and the other talking, both laughing, the guy with glasses and dark hair goofing off spraying the car for a second and spraying his co-worker. I tapped on the window to point to the wind shield. He gave it a 5 second spray and went back to goofing off.

I tried to call but no answer...I left a message. These two need direct supervision. Needless to say my car was not clean as prescribed on the menu. I went back around for a another wash. The two employees were Still goofing

Took my car to wash and detail here. This is what they did to my tire. I found the damage less than 2 minutes after going through the car wash and immediately informed the manager on duty. I spent the next 5 days being bounced around being fed lie after lie and finally told that they will not be fixing my tire or reimbursing me for my tire. They insist that I had caused the damage which makes no sense as the rim is still in perfect condition and not damaged in any way. I will never be going back here and will strongly discourage any one that I know to stay far away from there.

If you live in South Reno, this is a great place to get your vehicle washed. I've been here multiple times and the car/truck always gets a pretty good clean from those drive thru brushes.
The staff is pleasant and it never takes long to get through the wash and get it cleaned. They also have an express entrance for members which will get you through even quicker.
After the wash, pull in and vacuum the interior with plenty of spaces and a vacuum on each side of the space for convenience.

Fabulous car wash, open early, I came by at 7:20 AM, not like many around the area. First time monthly customers get $15 top tier unlimited car wash, perfect for Uber/Lyft drivers or those that are sticklers for how their car looks, like the way I have become.

Free vacuuming under covered area is a plus, especially in the hot looming sun, along with car mat wash and pressured air to clean out the crevices. Bring your own supplies to finish the job correctly. They have a small supply of extra materials, some are free with Membership like dash wipe and vent scents like vanilla, etc.

I own a 19 year old Toyota Landcruiser and my goal is to keep this car until I die. That being said, car maintenance is very important to me.

My car was screaming for a wash and wax, given the past weather history here in the Great Basin. Being a newcomer to Surf Thru and the membership style car wash, I was immediately impressed by this new, clean and organized car wash.

I got the Ultimate Car Wash with all of the bells and whistles, car freshener, dash wipe, trash bag. The price seems a little high to me and I am still deciding if I need to sign up for the membership. Still need to research

$30 a month for 5 washes split between 2 vehicles and no matter how many times they rewash our vehicle, this time twice, it doesn’t come clean. Rims look horrid, splattered bugs and water spots galore.
Both the cars behind us were also there for a rewash because their vehicles weren’t truly clean.
Supervisor could care less. Canceled our membership.
