I know this is not Classic Carwash or a place like that but when you choose to pay $45 for a wash and interior cleaning I feel they could do a little better. I had the floor mats cleaned as well and they are soaking wet. Now I need to let them sit outside and dry. *sigh* Nice people and they are fast. So there's that.

It’s really expensive, exterior wash needs 18.95 dollars! Only outside car washing, come on🫡🫡

Hate this place. Went once. Will not go back. When I filled up with gasoline, I was offered a car wash as part of paying for the gasoline. After filling up with gas, I drove over to the car wash, only to be told it was closed. I was told I should keep my receipt and come back within 7 days. As I live no where near this location and rarely if ever pass by, this option was useless. They were quite rude and had a good laugh at my expense -- telling me I shouldn't have purchased the car wash. Huh? Their system *offered* me the car wash. Why did they offer it if it's not available? Anyhow...this us how the experience went. They eventually gave in and re-opened their car wash (for me) but they clearly don't want my business in the future and I'm happy not to give it.

The exterior was not that great. They have 2 staff prewash then the car goes through the machine. Surprisingly, there was no drying after the wash. I even asked if I just go after I exited the machine and they confirmed. The staffs that assisted me were polite and helpful. If they dried my car I would gladly return but since I ended up having to dry my own car when I got home and found quite a few dirt spot not cleaned off I will not likely return unless it's a last resort.

I’ve been to this car wash multiple times. I find the team a bit reluctant to clean the car completely, especially from the outside. They tend to always leave hard to reach places and even after explicitly asking them to clean, they do a very hand wavy job of cleaning the act properly. There seems to be no oversight to ensure quality of service

one today, I paid for the car wash for exterior, with wax, vacuuming and clean the dashboards and the floor mats! I am so disappointed, the outside of my car still has spots all over, the windshield has water spots, the inside of the dash and cup holder was still sticky, and my mats we wet! I asked the one of the guy at the end of the car wash, that wipes the outside and does the tires, if he could please help wipe everything down, he did the best he could but it wasn’t worth what I paid, they are so LAZy to do there job properly it's so really disappointed.

Took the full service full wash , vaccum and carpets. The crew did a great job overall. Car looks clean . Three people did the work and finished it quickly. Small spots were left out but I don’t care that much.

Not satisfied with the wash and no unlimited option but they still mentioned it on price board. It is ok to wash if urgent, otherwise look for other option NOT recommended.

I used to come to this car wash once in a while as it is faster and quick compared to other car washes in Milpitas. Today they scratched my car while wiping. I was standing in front while the person did this. When I asked him to stop he kept going and then immediately vanished from the scene. I asked for manager and he totally declined that it was done at their location and it was pre existing. I am going to file a police report and also talk to my attorney for their dishonest business actions.

The absolute worst car wash you can get for your money. $30 down the drain. Told the guys there to clean but still had a dirty car. I expect a new car wash but I highly doubt that’s gonna happen.

I paid $49 for cleaning my car by the time they were done the dashboard had all the dust left the way it was my carpets were still messy. I asked them to clean it again, but I’m telling you my dashboard was still left untouched I hate this place.

I purchased a #2 Deluxe wash. The guys didn’t even vacuum my car. My car wasn’t really dirty inside but they obviously didn’t vacuum and no scent was sprayed. We had just taken my wife’s car there and they did a great job even though her car was pretty filthy inside. I’m disappointed and feel like it was a waste of time and money.

Money waste alert - DO NOT TAKE ANY SERVICE HERE ..I feel one star is also too much for them... worst experience ever. They are super rude and worst service i received and when I showed them the spots where cleaning was not done... they started shouting & misbehaving with me they mishandled my car as well ...like throwingstuff badly here & there for cleaning and banging car doors. I didn't appreciated their behaviour at all. I spent $30 (29.95) for hand wash ( delux wash) and my car looks like this.... no car fragrance provided....and additionally i had to go through the humiliation at front of so many ppl. Nobody in the wash area understands English or pretend like this so that they don't have to answer their wrong deeds. This kind of behavior is not good. I wanted to fill the gas as well but then i got so upset I left the primises .... did not expected shell brand is associated with them.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY I purchase deluxe which includes interior and stains from sunblock my kid threw days ago still there as you can see from the picture, clearly no effort. I was feeling bad because no cash to tip, I’m so glad I didn’t after seeing the work they did. They will stand around after stare you down waiting for their tip too

Terrible job and service! Not sure if under new ownership, but the crew is all Asian, nothing against them, however, no one spoke English. I paid $55 for hand wash. The hand wash was very poor, still had areas where there was dirt and dust, my front wheels still had brake dust and dirt that I could easily wipe off with my finger. The interior was still dusty all over my dashboard, Had a pet hair in the seat, creases, and the leather parts still had traces of easily removable dirt. It wasn't even bad to begin with as I get my car washed weekly if not every other week. I tried pointing this out a couple of times then just gave up. Their response clearly told me they don't care about their sloppy work. Never coming back!

I used to come here all the time in 2023 but this time I took my brand new car (only two months old) in for an exterior and interior deluxe wash and I’m beyond disappointed. None of the things listed in the “deluxe package” were actually done. It started off bad right away — the guy with the power wash kept hitting my car with the hose and the metal part of the washer. I tried to let it go, but it just got worse. When I went through the drive-through wash, the water smelled like drain water — it was disgusting. I even turned off my A/C so the smell wouldn’t come through the vents. Because it had rained, my car just needed a good touch-up outside, and the inside barely needed anything. I even took out my trash and a Starbucks cup myself to make it easier for them. But they didn’t even wipe the cup holders. The rims (which are black) still looked dirty like they barely touched them, even though that’s part of the service I paid for. The vacuuming was terrible — they left debris everywhere. I paid $32.95 for them to basically do nothing. This was honestly the worst car wash experience ever. You’re seriously better off cleaning your car yourself. Never coming back again.
