I’ve been using this self-serve car wash for several years, even though I live in Oceanside, because i felt it was the best one for the money. I haven’t been there for several months because I’ve been out of town. But I went there yesterday, and WOW! They must have put in new machinery because the hose felt like it was attached to a fire hydrant. EVERYTHING just flew off the paint. I was happy enough before, and, considering the cost, felt that I got my money’s worth whenever I stopped by there. Now it’s a bargain Jim Hurst

Quick in and out and reasonably priced. They have a large open bay for work van's, too! The guy working there does a good job at keeping the place clean, and bays clear from other cars dirt and debris.

Just needed a close and convenient place to rinse the dust off my vehicle from a drive through the desert. Clean, affordable and well maintained with a friendly staff. Absolutely pleasant experience.

Edit: To the person who responded, I had to wait a week and was charged $13, now I have to dispute this transaction! Original review: Stations have weak water pressure and I was shocked to see that it charged my card $14 for less than a 10 minute wash that YOU DO YOURSELF. I stopped the timer before it ran out of time and was still charged a lot. Might as well go to a place with employees who wash your car for you at that price point. The wash was not very good, they don't offer free towels like other self serve washes I've been to and the vacuums are also overpriced and you can find free ones elsewhere. Unfortunately you are better off washing your car in your driveway with a hose and soap it you can.

I love this place. All of the people that work here are really friendly and generous. They’ll give you extra time if your car is still soapy and you’re out of money and they will let you stay an extra 15 minutes will they wait by the gate so you can get, those last swirls out of your wax job. This is absolutely my favorite car wash. Tonight I got here late and I had not yet begun to wash my car when 9:03pm came around. She afforded me an extra 15 minutes. It’s Halloween night and I’m sure she has something fun to do but she was really polite about letting me wash my car. From what I’ve seen all of the Employees are like this. The young Ladies name was Cindy and she is One of the reasons I love this car wash. Five stars, good facility, clean friendly personnel, and considerate employees.

Gross residue all over the car. I think from the “clear coat”. Had to wash again and still wasn’t clean. Towels you buy leave a residue. Vacuum is weak and leaves lots of sand In the carpet. Spent almost $20 and left with streaks all over the car. Best to go to a proper carwash.

This car wash establishment has all the basic car wash tools and then some. There's high pressure wash, foam brush, wax spray, and even a tire/wheel foam brush. Each car wash stall has a place to wash every type of vehicle, these stalls even have a place to hang up your floor mats if necessary. The car wash offers both coin payments and/or credit card payments. Each session of wash last for about 6 mins then each additional wash can be added by pressing the green button at the payment area. There are vending machines that offer car cleaning chemicals and cloths. Vacuums are available for patrons to use on-site and the vacuums only take coins as payment. Overall, a great little car wash for almost every type of vehicle.

Fair prices, good suction on the vacuums, good pressure on the water. I think there were 5 stalls and 5 vacuums. There was an extra tall stall for large vehicles. It was $3 for 4 min and 48 seconds on the wash and $1.25 for 4 min on the vacuum. There is money changers there or you can use they accept cards. Good place.

Wow...spot free rocks! It was really expensive. 8 dollars for 4 minutes. Ugh. But their drying/vacuuming is in direct sun so that's not good for car or me! So glad the spot free is soo amazing!

Came at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday. Almost all the wash bays were open, a few people at the vacuums. Very happy with the price $8/9 mins. My Jeep wasn’t too dirty so I had plenty of time to do a high pressure wash, rinse, wax, and spot free rinse while focusing on some areas of bugs/gunk. Only used the one hose so can’t say anything about the foaming brush. Definitely coming again next time for a wash.
