Don't waste time coming here Credit cards don't work. Won't accept change, and dollars as well. I spend at least 30 to wash my RV. Each time. Your loss. None of the customer service numbers work either

Washed our Motorhome in the outside bay. Worked well enough. But we had to turn the RV around to do both sides. The hoses wouldn't reach over. We had a 21 ft by 12ft Winnebago.

The different settings on the machine don't work. If you select wax, it keeps spraying water and so on. Foaming soap gun doesn't work. Brush to clean are in bad condition, you will be scratching your vehicle instead of washing it. Water is not filter, so even if you select spotless water you will get regular. It's just a bad washing station. But they still charge as if it was in good condition.

Originally from Georgia, I travel all over the United States of America for work. For starters, I arrived at this car wash and during my one and only visit the change machine worked sporadically, water is all cold, foaming gun resulted in straight liquid with zero foam, noticed vacuum stations all where weak. After washing my truck by hand as I bring my own suds in a bucket with lid. I pull out to hand dry with MF towels I was ask to move so my vacuum could be used.. Owner has made wash stations outside trying to utilize space I suppose. This place would have been OK maybe 5 years ago. Owner has put zero effort or maintenance into running a fine car wash instead it's a slum wash. Very disappointing at the least.

Not a lot to say here. All of the machines work well and are in good condition. There are only four stalls so it can get busy here. A good place to give your vehicle a wash if you can't do it at home.

Very friendly. I came here for the first time and the owner helped me with getting started. Not just that he taught me how to use the different washing tools but also gave me $6 worth of time on the washer for free.. will come here again.. bye bye to automatic car washes

So dirty that it'll stain your carpets when you get back in the car, vacuums don't pick up anything. All this for a $15 car wash by the time you feed enough money into the machines to wash your car. Seriously, these coin-op places are cash cows...it doesn't cost much to power wash the concrete and maintain the equipment, the owners of this place are just robbing their customers blind and taking advantage of the fact that there aren't any other coin-op places around.

Yes they need more garbage cans (maybe with lids), a rug beater would be great too. Maybe a donation box and recycle bin would cut down on the garbage too. I agree that either an attendant and/ or a suggestion/ complaint box would a good idea. I never had a problem with my quarters being eaten, however. They have cleaned the place up a lot with new lights and a new sign and better sprayers. **** Honestly, for the money, you can't beat it!!!!! Where else can you wash your vehicle any hour of the day or night for as little as $2.50!?!****

Very popular place to self wash your vehicle. Sometimes there is a waiting line. There are about 4 stalls for vehicles for washing and also several spots for vaccuming, air, and to dry off (dont forget to bring car towels). Also, a machine to exchange cash for coins or quarters. This place is good on keeping the facilities clean and products full but it's a very busy spot so sometimes things run out. Must insert $3.00 minimum to get started on washing. Machine also takes card payment. I have a compact vehicle and it costs anywhere from 7-10$ total for; rinse, tri-foam, scrub brush, tire cleaner, rinse, and wax. TIP: rinse the scrub brush before using because it may have brake dust which can cause scratches. Otherwise, I recommend the tri-foam and using your own scrubbies.

Their credit card swipe is a scam, after each car wash, I realize I was charged $30. I used to be a regular here, not anymore.

This place is a little rundown... And it can be a little bit hard to get out of... But that being said it is in a great convenient location and the machines are all working very well. It was a great place to go and get my truck all nice and cleaned up and it's ready to go!

The last stall doesn't accept cards, the machine always shows busy. The second to left stall had insufficient tri-foam the last time I used it. Two stalls I used didn't have pre-rinse. Only high pressure soap and water work reliably. Only went there because it was close to my house. Will try some other places next time.

If you live in the area and need a quick wash this place is great. Machines all tend to work well, there's a long handled brush in each stall as well as a foam gun, and a pressure washer. Each machine takes quarters, or now card as I saw last time we washed. The options for your wash include, various washer sprays, a tri-foam, a tire cleaner, a wax, and a regular foam wash if my memory serves right. The pressure washer is also on a rotating gantry, so you can hit all corners of your car. There are also areas to vacuum behind the washing stalls.

Not half bad as far as self serve car wash places go. The facility looks a bit dated and, at least with the 2nd from the right wash bay, the credit reader wasn't working. That being said, it takes$1 and $5 bills. $5 will give you 8 minutes of wash time. Overall experience was so so, nothing went wrong besides having to using cash which I don't like, but exciting the facility is a bit tricky since the entrance is also the exit. I was forced to flip around and drive through a half gravel (or at least very dusty) lot which slightly dirtied my car immediately after washing it. I'd recommend Aldengate self serve car wash a few miles north. I would also recommend that this business clean up the exit path for cars.

Great car wash rate. However, there is gravel and debris when you exit the stations and can be really frustrating after a cleaning your car by your wheels. It’d be more comforting for other clients to come if there is a cleaner/flatter pavement upon exiting the stations. Also, there is no air dryer/blower, so be prepared to come with your own car drying towels.

It charges $2.5 minimum (very reasonable pricing in the Bay Area) for a self car wash. Vacuum service takes $1 but the suction is not powerful. This place is not a large place with only 4 spots for car wash.

Needed a vacuum urgently but didn’t want the expense of a full interior detail. The vacuum was a dollar for a few minutes. The vacuum is not strong, but it got the job done. It was very convenient and inexpensive.
