I was in the area and needed to get my car washed. This place has friendly staff and offer specials with your selections. As I was vacuuming my car, a guy came to do my tires, too. That was a nice perk and I hope to come by again when I’m the area next. Friendly, quick, clean!

Changing ownership apparently? The old /new owners should edit the Google Maps page so people don’t drive all the way down there and find they are closed indefinitely/who knows when they will open back up? Very upsetting. There’s no other good car wash around here and I want the free vacuums and cheap prices! Grr 😡 !

I absolutely adored this car wash! And now it appears to be under construction and possibly with new ownership. The phone is disconnected and the website is gone. So don’t go because you can’t get a car wash any longer.

Was In the area so figured I’d stop by. Wash was mediocre. Super spotty after and no towels ($1 per towel extra). Got the $12 wash and $2 wax won’t think there was any thing special or different from the $5 wash. 1 star for friendly staff and 1 star for vacuums (no air blower though). Would only go back for cheap wash and to use vacuums didn’t even get the dirt off from wheels

Rude as Chit / NEVER RETURN Is there a law saying you can’t be nice to paying customer. Out of nowhere after spending 5 minutes vacuuming I decided to dry off the left over but no “You can only be here 10 minutes only!” No detailing. Me : of your machine does a better job at drying I wouldn’t have to. I’m just drying my car. It’s a car wash!?

This location is not opening at all. I have come here twice already. The manager should update the information on time, in this case, save your clients time and gas.

Joey was especially helpful when my friend took her car through the wash. There was a minor glitch and he totally made it right with great customer service and extra kindness. A fabulous value! Thank you. My friend's car is sparkling!

Car wash good....... But here is the issue. While I was vacuuming the machine sucked up a $20 dollar bill. I told one of the employees here and told me he will check, while he did an effort to look for it, he called the manager that was on duty. Manager spoke to me asked for information and pretty much told me the money might be shredded because of the machine separater. He did also told me I or my manager will CALL or TEXT if we did or did not find it.......... I'm still waiting on that phone call. I know for sure they stole that money and used it for Burgers 😕 No good here

My car got egged on so I took it for cleaning. After the fail first attempt, the supervisor let me run my car through one more time. But the egg yolk was still on so the supervisor advices me to use bug and tar remover. This time it worked!

Just got my car washed here. Super awkward experience. I’m guessing they’re used to dealing with regular customers, but it was my very first time here, no one wanted to talk to me about how anything worked, other than to yell at me directions that I could barely hear or understand. Won’t be returning.

Great location with great, friendly staff. I go once a week and the service is always with a smile and friendly chat. ALL staff is wonderful. The manager is exceptional example of team player she'll jump right in and do the dirty work if need be. Trustworthy and friendly. Love that they are In the hood providing jobs to the willing. Glad there in the Mid - City area.

This is my first time coming to this car wash while on the clock. I work with a transportation company, and part of the responsibility is making sure our vehicles are cleaned and presentable. This was a reasonable experience, since it was one of the more reasonable priced car washes in the San Diego area (most of the places I looked up were charging $20 for their premium wash). This place charges $15, which isn't bad, but I opted for the $12 wash. I had to ask for a receipt, since one wasn't provided for me...the young woman hand wrote me one, which is different. 🤷🏼♂️ The wash process is ok, as it does seem to wash thoroughly and I like that the process doesn't feel rushed like other car washes (I've gone to drive through washes that sped me through in 3 min!). The drying process was TOO quick and I ended up having to hand dry about 40% of the van. The wash does come with free vacuuming, which is a plus, and they have powerful suction and extremely long hoses (another plus)! There are plenty of vacuum bays too! All in all, not a bad experience, except for the single wash rates and air drying time. I would recommend this place, but just remember to bring about 4-5 microfiber towels with you to finish drying your vehicle.

I thought I would try this place since it's in my neighborhood, through the car wash there was a huge blast of water that sprayed and when my son got out to vacuum he noticed that the liner was torn halfway off! There was never a problem with it before . I had to ask the manager twice to come out to look at it and he looks at the sign he is not responsible and walked away I'm disabled and taking my car to a car wash is a luxury for me, I can't afford to replace this I'm just going to have to take it off. Thanks!

Their car wash is very reasonable and their unlimited time vacuums (that are FREE) are great! I was there with my daughter, she had just bought a car at auction and it needed a wash and an overall vacuuming. We got their medium priced car wash ($10.00) which came with a free air freshener and a couple of extras, and of course the free vacuuming! Would definitely recommend this place!

I just moved to San Diego from Portland, so I was looking for a drive-thru car wash, as that's what I am used to and I am usually needing something quick and convenient. I was surprised that the price was even cheaper than the car washes I'd go to back home! Very friendly staff, quick service and the vacuum works amazing!

Great car wash. New machine washes really well and the automatic dryer really dries your vehicle to where you hardly have to wipe any excess water on your own. The machine is also compatible with cars with rear wheel drive and low clearance which some car washes can harm your rims or air diffusers. Staff is always cheerful and courteous.

Very helpful staff. Good value for the money. Completely automatic car wash. After the wash, there are a generous amount of really powerful vacuums available. The vacuums are included in the price of the carwashes, so you don't have to keep on dropping in tokens or swiping your card. Carwashes start at $7.
