I was not happy with this solar car wash. The solar car wash in El Cerrito and Richmond is a lot better. Pinole Solar Car Wash sucks. No, attendant. The Bay was dirty. The El Cerrito & Richmond Solar have attendants are clean. This one was dirty

You have to place $2.00 deposit to start?!! Also be aware of the brush with soap. I was using it and my paint got scratch. I think there was a little rock stucked in the bristles from previous use.

Good price. Convenient location. Has great vacuums. Also has a value bay area that is cheaper. Might have to wait a few minutes but its about $4.00 cheaper.

This is usually a good place to wash your car. My last visit the timers wore broken. I paid for 10 minutes. It gave me 2 minutes. I called the customer service and left them a message. 3 times. No reply.

This location does not accept quarters. Not to mention it’s $1 more to use the washing station compared to other locations. If you don’t have $1 or $5 bills to use then you are forced to use larger bills for one too many wash coins that aren’t needed.

No frills, but everything i used worked, and I was able to tap to pay. My only complaint is they could use new brushes and hoses but they work.

If you use a card to pay they put a 10 dollar hold on your account for a couple days before adjusting to the correct price. I thought I was overcharged and about to leave a one star review before finding that out. I have no problem with a temporary 10 dollar charge but I think it should be more clearly visible on the machine to avoid confusion.

Did a spirited 5 hour drive though the mountains in the Northbay today and my car was filthy so I stopped by here to wash it down... It was ok. They have a 10 minute 5 dollar deal and they had microfiber towels for purchase if you need one (bring one along instead not worth the price but if you don't have one how are you gonna dry your car?) that brings me to the 3 stars... If they add a "Spot Free Rinse" option like other self car washes I would elevate this to 4 even 5 stars! Add a "Spot Free Rinse" option! 😡

Signage is not clear on the “Value Wash” - charges a $5 minimum. The soap dispenses extremely slow until you’re basically done soaping. Registered my card tap twice, improperly, so $10. Not a nice part of town. Low bar for me for a self car wash but this place somehow ducked under it.

Wasn't the best experience. There's a nosey guy who walks around all the time watching you as you clean your car with a hat snd sunglasses on. Messes with your things as you're actively cleaning your car. Has to examine the garbage and equipment as you are using it. Didn't feel the safest while I was there. Will not be returning.

In my opinion it is a good place to go wash my car. It is always crowd it very reasonable price for car wash and vacuum. The owner is very friendly however, the brushes are not good quality. It scratches your car when using these brushes due to sometimes needles had been found stick in the brushes according with comments from customers. I do not use those brushes I use my own washclothes, cleansing better.

Place was clean and modern.everything was Token based. 1 token was equal to 1 dollar. 4 tokens to start a wash and 1 token to add each additional minute. Even if the wash had stoped it still gave you a short time to add tokens for more time.The vacuums work great but were a little pricey at 3 tokens . Otherwise i was very happy with my visit.

The curb to get into this place is microscopic. My car always hits the curb violently upon entering and I ask myself each time "why do I come back here"? I think only 1 bay has coin option. The rest are credit card only. Last time I checked vacuum was priced at 3 dollars so I don't even bother with that. Gonna leave this reminder to look for another place to wash my car...

Generally great upkeep. I usually go here every fri or sat night and sneak a wash in because nobody shows up. They dont turn the lights on at night (would be nice if they had the lights hooked up to a motion detector or a 30min twist timer switch), but the wash and vac stalls still work, so i show up with a head lamp and get my wash in at the value wash stall (10min for $5). This is the way if you dont want to feel rushed, plus i can take my time drying the car without risk of the sun making water spots. Out of the 30ish times i've shown up, i've only had issues with the card pay at the stalls twice, once i showed up and there was no soap, but the older black man who manages the business filled it up, and only once have i shown up where all the wash stalls were closed because the pressure washer was down.

Baghdad has better car washes than this place. 1. Cold Water 2. Almost no chemicals or soap 3. Less pressure than an electric Ryobi pressure washer 4. EXPENSIVE 5. No Mat Hangars 6. Tight and Cramped. You'll pay $15 for a dirty car with water spots. Avoid this place at all costs.
