I've been coming here 45yrs. Always works & cheap just like me. You got to put in the work to clean your own car.

2 minutes for $1. Got my car washed for $2, and everything worked. Bring $10 bills or less, as the change machine doesnt take $20s.

Perfect for a quick little wash. I personally believe the machine car washes add swirlies to your paint so I come here sometimes to get mine 100% hand washed since It’s usually not very busy 🧼

Even inflation hit this place. Please change the name to the $4 car wash to reflect the price increase.

I go here every once and a while. Kinda expensive now that the prices have changed. You have to be very careful with the high pressure rinse hose as it can and will scratch your clear coat if it's not handled properly. 😉

A dollar pays for a minute and 30, for wash. The vacuum felt like 10 minutes. They don’t have an ATM machine or provide their services with debit/credit. However, there is a gas station across the street that gives cash back. Overall, I will be coming back.

It's not $1 is all. But at $2 it's still cheaper then some. Water sprays out good, has wheel cleaner brush, better then average car wash.

Have been coming to this place for a year now and enjoy it. Has many cleaning options and now take credit and debit cards. (User Beware) All in all great spot.

FYI, I think it's a dollar a minute. If you can wash your car that fast, just cut back on Starbucks. I have never switched to wax or any other option and just get water... everything works every time. I have at many other places. Vacuums are strong!! You will lose your floor change. Semper Fi

$1 carwash is a 24/7 drive up do it yourself carwash & vacuum facility. It's $2 for 4mins. To use 3 cleaning aid hand held wands. From a power soaping wash rinse & wax trigger sprayer. A large soft brush head auto soaping scrubber & a small brisk brush headed wand with a degreaser trigger control for wheels tires & engine. There's a separate area where you can wipe off your car. And for a $1. Use the vacuum. There isn't an attendant nor public restrooms offered.

Change your name to 3 dollars or 4 dollars car wash. Didn't even vaccum. They installed CC machines where you can get a 6 dollars car wash and change your old dirty scrub brushes your scratching people cars

I am only giving this place...cause I only come here to vaccum my car and the family van. It is pretty safe location. I have not seen a lot of homeless people around. There is a mechanic shop on the same property. So, during day time...it does make you feel safe. There are cameras around the property. So, it is not wise to do anything stupid or kinky (if you know what I mean...at night).

I'm giving it one star only because its the cheapest one in Fullerton, The water pressure is not the greatest, there has been multiple times when I have went to wash my car and there's no soap! Sometimes the change machine won't take any bills, or it gives back change, (short a quarter)...I've even gotten a dime instead of a quarter for change..wow!! But what can you expect for a $1 Car Wash..just call the emergency number and the car wash owner will return your call, she will also attend to your matter..shes nice 👌..

Currently under fumigation/renovation,but this is a great car wash. The time for the sprayer is accurate and they offer an air dry for the 4 minutes you pay $2.50. That was enough time for me to was and dry my vehicle with the air dry selection. They offer standard vacuum & areas to detail once the wash was completed. The drawback wss the sketchy persons who came pedalling by to ask for money or start doing their SELF promoting service to clean the headlights without asking first. Aside from those persons I have & would definitely recommend this place again once they reopen.

$3.50 to wash, spot free rinse left spots, pressure of water coming from gun is fairly low taking long to wash and rinse.

This place has really gone worse over time, price is up, pressure soap is empty, and now the machine just died after swiping card to activate it with no refund, look for a new place

**9/6/23 UPDATE** I do not recommend this car wash at all. First off, they increased the prices by 20%. YUP you heard me, TWENTY percent! In just 4 months. That’s SO insanely high for any car wash. What used to be $5 for 10 minutes now costs $6. I decided to continue on with the wash, coughed up my money via Apple Pay, and to my shock…. I was only given 7 minutes. Like what? And due to the nature of this being a 24 hour car wash, there is no one to help. So I sucked it up, and lo and behold, my wash control dial isn’t working. I was only able to use the weak wash and soap settings. Everything else was out of order. So terrible. You’re better off taking your money to another self service wash (I heard Lincoln and Western has a good one) but please don’t give your business to this spot, for the sake of your wallet, time, and sanity. ————————————————— **old review 6/2023** Pretty good self service wash. The facilities were well maintained. There are 4 stalls. I was pleased to see that they took Apple Pay, which is so convenient!! I still used quarters, and you can see the prices in my photo. I docked a star from my review because the prices don’t seem very friendly to those who want to be more conservative in their use. It requires a minimum of $2.50. Which allows for 4 minutes of use time. Luckily I was able to rinse, soap, and rinse in those 4 minutes. I believe you can continuously add quarters to up the time during the wash, however once your time is up, you gotta cough up the $2.50 minimum again. Otherwise, you can pay $5 for a hefty 10 minutes. For me, the pricing design seems kind of a turn off since you can get a $5 car wash from an automatic place down the street. But I did appreciate how easy this was to use, and that I can do a touch less wash is super convenient. The tools themselves were powerful enough to clean the dirt off my car and some squashed insects as well from long drives. I would suggest coming during non-peak hours, like lunch time, so that you can take your time to learn the tools and dry under the shade. I would go here again!
