Since having been outfitted with new equipment and being rid of the longtime owners who have owned it for many years it is a much nicer overall experience. Although paying with your credit card you can only purchase 3 min. at a time,as apposed to starting and stopping when you want and paying for that time. For me those 3 min. periods end up costing me more to finish my car wash. I'd rather start it soap down the car stop it pay for that. Use the brush and brushed off my vehicle for free, and then started again for rent and stop. Those three minute intervals always leave me with extra time either soaping it or extra time rinsing it just to finish that and then maybe you need more after or something. I like the way you can start it do what you want stop it pay for that and be done with it

My husband and I typically love this car wash for the pet washing station but after washing our dog tonight we won’t be coming back very soon. The water was cool at first but then became scorching to the touch and had our dog yelping because it was so hot. This has never happened before so I hope this will be fixed soon so we can return back and update our review.

A really nice self service car wash with a do-it-yourself dog wash. Another plus is that there soap and wax and whatever other products that they use actually seem like they work and they don't just seem like you're only spraying water. The only thing I do not like about this car wash is there credit card payment system. I entered my card and it said for me to add more time to press the button and I did but then it didn't add time and then so once that time ran out I had to reinsert my card again and when I wanted to stop the wash before the time ran out it added more time to it when I was already finished washing my car. so I ended up letting the person behind me go ahead and finish the time that was left and just watched him to make sure he didn't press the button again to add more time on my expense because there's no button to press to end to the wash, only to add more time to it

This place is usually in some state of disrepair. Today the high pressure hose started bulging and I’m afraid it’s going to pop on the next person that uses it. I warned one customer about using while I finished rinsing the soap from my vehicle in the next bay.I also tried calling the number on the sign but it went straight to voice mail. I hope this is fixed before it bursts..

Relatively affordable do it yourself car wash $3 increments for a few minutes of wash time the sprayer nozzles have different settings to choose from and they have a soap scrubbing brush that also has a few options. It's nice because there's almost always a Bay open and it's right by my house I hose off my car once a week there and use the scrubbing brush to get out the gunk before using the air attachment to hose out the spotless water rinse. The machine takes card also which is nice for me because I never carry coins or cash I only complaint is that I wish they swapped out the bristle heads more often on the scrubbing brush but at least it's not as damaging as going through a automated car wash.

Nozzle was restricted, preventing the water from removing the soap from the car. Also, not enough soap on the spray/soap cycle. I frequent this car wash quite often which is why I am familiar with the specific bays and their functionality.

I've had positive experiences at this self-service car wash. The facilities are generally well-maintained, and it's a bonus that they offer two dog bath stations. Occasionally, I've encountered issues like clogged dog bath tubs or a lack of soap in the pressure washers, but it hasn't been a consistent problem. Despite these occasional hiccups, I find this car wash convenient and will continue to use it.

I went to this car wash on Saturday morning. Put the money into the machine and it would not turn on. No matter what dial you turned it to see photos of timer and notice the ground is dry. Took my money. Called the number and no one ever returned the call. Try texting them and no one ever responded. I would never ever use this car wash again. It's a rip-off

I recently wash my car at this car wash. When you pay for a service you expect to get what you pay for. There’s no high pressure soap and there’s no spot free, all you’re getting is Water with Presure. My car is black and I had to come home and take all the water spots off. I don’t recommend anybody to waste their money at this car wash.

Every time I go there something is not working. This time no soap coming out of the hose on any setting. I know the spotless rinse is not soft water because I have tested it before. It’s too bad is a convenient location for the east end but I will spend the extra time and money to go to Montalvo to wash the car. Just fix it up a little, how many people have to want their money back before it goes out of business.

This place is quickly becoming what it once was before the change of owner. It clearly lacks up keep. Gashes in hoses and terrible soap quality. Overall very badly kept

Like the fact that no matter what time it is I can go and wash my car. They even have a dog wash. Love it

They never have dry clothes the machine is always broken and you have a 50/50 chance of your water not working it's convenient in the area when it works

Sad. The worst car wash I've ever been too. Bad water pressure. Glass on the ground. Not sure if half the settings worked. I don't plan to go back.

I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this car wash. The first bay was completely out of order, and I ended up wasting money trying to use it. I moved to the next bay, paid with my card, and was charged a $10 fee, which I didn’t realize was specific to card payments. The soap was of poor quality and didn’t clean my car properly. It honestly felt like a scam, and I would advise anyone to steer clear of this place. It’s a total rip-off.

Beware beware beware Do not use this , the coin machines are broke, the change machine gives incorrect change back. The soap will stain your skin and clothes and will not rinse off you car. The spot free soap is not spot free either

Often without soap etc. and once with broken watering wand - after a few times of paying 10 dollars for just water I haven’t been back. If you use it look for port that was used recently or is actively being used and use that one or wait for it to be available. Don’t just use a totally dry port. I had 3-4 good experiences there for every bad one. Gave up on that location. Also usually transient (s) are there. They don’t bother anyone in my experience but something to consider at night or if by yourself.

Would never return. For five dollars there was no soap and the spotting left on my car was so bad. I couldn’t even get it off the glass with one application of Windex. I’ll have to try again later to get all the spots off. In the old days we called this a rip off.

Its okay, the machine was broken. It wasn't taking coins but works with bills or card. They didn't have shampoo or conditioner, pretty much just water and air. Water and air were warm though I liked that. Luckily I did take my own dog shampoo so it worked out.

Very dirty and shady. My car looks dirtier than it was before. The handles and nozzles were extremely dirty. My hands are all black. The spot for rent was a lie. Car is full of spots and residue. At first, I thought it’s a good car wash, but then after I left and inspected the car, it looks horrible
