I paid 1.25 with my debit for the vaccuming but on my bank statement it says i got charged $10.. it should atleast have a warn3or something so people know and dont get confused. Their was alot of trash all around the area by the entrance vaccuming section. Place is okay but wish it didnt take my money. I tried calling soon after the incident but got sent to voicemail saying my 10 will be refunded in 72 hours? Whats a drag now i have to keep tabs n make sure my debit transition gets corrected. They knew about the problem and posted no warning sign around the vaccuming sections.

It's a self carwash like any other. But this one is open a all night and you can use your card to prepay. No need to be carrying around all those quarters and running to insert more cause time is running out

I recently stopped by this place to wash my car. The place has new management and by the looks of it they have been upgrading the stalls and ability to pay with CC or Debit. The amount of time they give you is fair and one of the cheapest self service ,car washes in town. If i had to fix anything in this place it would be better Soap Ration compare to other Self Service Car washes around the city. In my Experience it was Not enough soap coming out of the brush, compare to others. . I will follow up in the future and will change my review if this does not improve. Keep your car clean and enjoy Casa De Oro's only Self Service Car wash.

Really good car wash. They have card swipes and touch to pay. The only drawback is the area. Tons of homeless and lot lizards. It smells like human waste next to the vacuums/drying area. On top of that, if you show up during slower times or at night you’re likely to see most stalls full of drug dealers. Definitely recommend going during the day/sunlight

I spent probably 12 to $14 total. To wash a vehicle that hadn't been washed in about 8 months. I could have spent less, but I wanted to get all the nooks and crannies. And the roofs of SUVs are notorious for being skipped. Usually I use my pressure washer and foam cannon, but I left it in Ramona when I pressure washed my mother-in-law's deck. Never had to add quarters, don't even remember what they look like. They have a card processing machine built it.

It takes 11 quarters to start. The machine that changes your bill into quarters was not working so decided to swipe my card. It gives you like a good 4 to 5 minutes for a single swipe. After leaving I see my statement and it charged me $10.

Not busy. Plenty of room to wash car. Equipment worked great. Bring plenty of quarters or have $1 or $5 bills ad that is only what bill changer accepts. Bring your own towels unless you want to pay $1 for very thin wipes.

Use to like this place but now it feels like a rip off. Went to use the coin machine. Put in a 5 dollar bill and only got 4 dollars in quarters. Then put money into the vacuum and let me tell you that was the fastest 3 minutes and 30 seconds I have ever experienced. The only good thing was it wasn't crowded. If you come here to wash your car bring your own change caus either will cost you a bunch or you might get shorted from the change machine. And your vacuum time won't be what you paid for. Who expects you to completely vacuum a car in 3 minutes anyway.

Nice self service car wash. Good location, right off the 94 freeway and not too crowded. I didn’t feel like I was being too rushed. Wished the vacuums were a little more powerful, but they did an ok job. You have the option to use coin or card and there is a machine that dispenses blue towels for you to wipe your car with.

DO NOT USE ANY CARD, CRÉDIT, DEBIT OR ANY! They will rip you off! I did a quick wash using my debit card and took me about 3 minutes and the machine doesn't stop until it charges $5.00 dls supposedly on the machine but when I check my bank statement it charge me $20.00 dls!!!

Don't go unless you want terrible religious music blasting. Bring ear plugs!! Played the same exact song the entire time i was there and was a horrible religious song. Couldn't even down it out with my own radio. Made me want to leave as fast as possible. Wouldn't you want variety of music to entice people to take their time and spend more money? Won't be back. Don't need religious garbage. Price was a little steep, but not horrible.

The “Happy Cow” team really turned this location around! In my profession I visit car washes all over Southern California and they have the most user friendly, cleanest and reliable.

Might not want to use your cards here. I understand there are delays on things occasionally, but I started recording a while after I couldn't end the timer. The extra cost to me is relatively low, but added up across dozens or more people per day makes for a nice extra bit of change for the owners. Okay experience overall, nothing spectacular, not terrible. The rates seem a touch higher what it is, but this is a business, not a charity. It's also been a while since I've used a car wash like this, so my timing was pretty slow

First-time coming here to wash my car. $5.00 and the timer is on 4min and so many buttons to switch. By the time you go walk back and forth. There goes the wash and then you add another $5.00. So totally is $10.00. You have to act fast because the minute goes fast while you choose what's next and then you pick up the hose. Don't like it. I won't come back to this car 🚙 washer place. Too many buttons and By the time you reached the hose, it's shut down. I rate this place a big fat zero!😠👎
