I was really excited to try the touchless car wash to avoid scratches on my new car, but it ended up being disappointing. While it did remove the dust from the windows, as well as the front and back of the car, it left noticeable stains and failed to clean the lower half of all four doors.

I like the convenience of 24 hour availability. They are somewhat high priced, and the driveways are a bit awkward for entrance and exit. I usually don't come here except during the wee hours when there's not much traffic on roads or at the car wash.

I've been going here for years, totally reliable and definitely my favorite car wash in San Diego. I don't even live close by anymore and I still go here to wash my car!

Only self serve car wash I go to, most are trash, and not well kept, I come out of my way just to come wash my vehicle here.

Everything works properly. This facility is clean (as it should be for a car wash). Evenings have become a great social gathering place to meet beautiful, sexy people.

Great over all. I would like to know the difference between a$7, $10, $12 wash? The vending machine is very convenient. I would also like a stop button on the manual wash bays. I love the free vacuum token.

New to San Diego. Came to use the drive thru wash. After it completely soaped the car, nothing. Waited several minutes, pulled forward, backward. Finally pulled out and went thru another drive thru that a car just pulled out of. I called the phone number, spoke to the gentleman who answered. He was great,told me he would text me two codes for the inconvenience. Never heard from him. Sent a text to the phone number. Crickets. I just wanted my money/credit back for just the one. Review edit: Decided to come back few months later since the wash is close to home, chose a drive thru bay that was already wet. While in the wash decided to try texting number again. I did get a response this time with a credit for a couple washes. Thank you, appreciate company making good!

I've been to a ton of car washes similar to this, but this one is the best. The soap is high quality and lathers up your vehicle really well. Everything just works here. Place is well-maintained. I just spent $18 washing my Toyota Tacoma, I took my time so that's why it was kind of pricey. But if you have a smaller car and you work fast, you can get it done in under $5. They also have the drive-in Car Wash machines which are either touchless or brush. I wouldn't use the touchless wash if your car is super dirty, as it probably won't get all the dirt off. The brush wash works pretty well though.

Raising the car on what I thought you could expect from a self service car wash. Clean exterior, LED lighting, lots of soap, bug remover, a pressure washer with great pressure, and an air dryer that moves water with no issue. I was quite impressed by my experience and will probably make this my go-to wash spot.

Used the brush carwash recently and it tore the casing off of my side view mirror. (My car is 2 yrs old BTW and previously had 0 damage) the clips that hold it on are broken now. It costs around 700 to replace not including labor so definitely will never come here again.

It is an ok unmanned car wash. The newer building was added a couple of years ago and very nice, it has 2 spray wash bays and 2 automated drive through car washes. The older section has 4 spray wash bays, this section is pretty dated. For $7 you can choose touchless or brush cleaning in the automatic bays and get a free vacuum token.

Great place to hand wash your car, especially if you have one that is hand wash only. This was the first time washing my new baby. Since she’s black till I wrap her, it shows everything. This place had pressure washers so you don’t need to use the brush and risk scratches. It had great working blowers to eliminate water spots and reduce streak marks.

I have to use my guard because I ran out of cash. The first time I put $5 cash, it was an nf, and then April $10. It was not enough $15 total cash, and so there was some soap on my car. I had to use my card, which is $5 for 4 minutes. When I finished the 4 minutes, I stopped it. When I checked my credit card, I was charged $25. I don't know how that happen, but I will never go back there. And I highly recommend you guys use cash. If you want to use this car wash for me. No more this location. If I can give them below one star. I will definitely do that

Seems a bit price to wash the car yourself after initial 5 mins it charges you by time (by the minute), and if you use a credit card to start, they put a $25 hold on it. Looks like it would have been a better wash just driving through automated wash and my shoes would be dry, and wouldn't have felt rushed by the visible clock counting minutes and the next car sitting behind bay, waiting to go in. I'm going to an automatic car wash next time.
