Its nice to find a place where I can degree and wash the underneath my bobtail. Saw a few other drivers doing the same thing. Really nice to see everyone cleaning up after themselves. The place was cleaning, everything worked, the water was hot. Thank you!

Love this car wash! Clean, good vacuums, and friendly service- much better then dragging everything out at home. I also appreciate the RV dump free with wash-helps in a pinch!

I like this place, however I was recently charged $15 for literly spraying the dust off my car for about 3 minutes. Also not all the credit card machines work so you have to pull in try it and if it doesn't't work pull out and drive to another stall. After hearing from the owner I now realize that I turned the dial to stop but didn't hit the stop button on the credit card reader. The owner also stated that they are updating their credit card readers. Therefore, I am updating my review and plan to use Reno Car wash in the future.

I understand that the car wash is under new ownership - but the phone number on the listing is the same number I called on Saturday. The touchless carwash was closed for awhile, due to what looks like a renovation. I was so happy to see it open this last Saturday! I have always gotten my car washed here. Paid the 13 bucks - pulled in - got a pre-rinse and then it sprayed my car with the soap. All of a sudden I hear a bang (what sounded like something hitting my car) and then the arms moved back to the front of the car lit up and just sat there. I pulled out and had to pay another 3 bucks to quickly rinse the suds off. I called the number and left my name and number and the issue - since there was no person available at the car wash to talk to. I didn't get a call back at all. I didn't want my money back, but a call back or an acknowledgment would have been great. I will never come back here again.

I’m going to preface this review with saying that I lived here in Reno for 11yrs and used to use this place all the time. I moved out of state 4yrs ago but am down here visiting family for a bit. Took my car here to give it a wash. The auto touchless wash that I loved about this place is missing. Not sure what they’re replacing it with. There was nearly no soap in the sprayer and the clear coat was also empty. Price is also way to high now compared to what it used to be and compared to an automated care wash just right down the street. Place has seen better days… :(

NOT BURNER FRIENDLY. The owner wanted to add $40 to our bill for the self service car wash simply because we were "too dirty". Do not go here if you value your time and money.

Best car wash I have ever been, most friendly and helpful staff you can possibly imagine, well organized and has all the necessary equipment to clean an RV after a long trip in the desert.

What I like best about this place over the years is the quality of the touchless car wash was better than anyone. Oftentimes I'll go to a car wash and my car is spotted afterwards because the water was dirty. Not this place always got the best quality wash

I love the Reno Car Wash, heated floors so there is never ice or snow in the bay! They do a great job keeping everything clean and in good working order! Update! I got to try the new touch less the other day! Wow does it do a great job and make my car shine with the Rain X.

I was excited to see the touchless wash was back, so I gave it a run. Unfortunately, I feel this new machine is a downgrade from before. Prices are up a smidge, understandable with recent inflation, but it felt like this wash cycle was shorter. The spray I presume is supposed to center on the car, but it seemed to the right. It is still relatively cheap, but I don’t think I will go out of way to use it. I think other touchless washes can get a more thorough job now.

Has everything you need to get your car cleaned well. Cost is reasonable. Can get busy in the afternoons and weekends.

When in there to wash my truck had a big issue with using my debit card and then it turned on for just a few seconds 😭 and then shut off and was charged $15 👿 then I did it the second time and I know I didn't spend $15 but I was charged anyway I don't suggest you use a debit card at this car wash only going to have issues so was charged $15 twice guaranteed I won't go there again and then if you use cash it seems to go much faster and then you're stuck with soap on your vehicle

Jake and Jeff took care of us like we were their brothers. From the minute we walked in it was absolute warmth, service and kindness. We came from burning man and it was one of the smoothest most professional experiences getting off the playa and the playa off because of Reno Car Wash. definitely coming back again. Great humans and great service, and so affordable! Barely cost anything. Definitely come here after the burn.

The RV Bay is on the right as you're looking at the building from the street. The dump station is on the front left of that bay, so pull in from whatever side makes the most sense. With a 32 ft Class C, 11 ft tall, neither the wand, nor the brush, nor the air hose went all the way around. The brush only reached one side. I suspect that a 25 ft RV would be reasonable for this car wash but anything else and you're going to end up turning around halfway through or finishing it at home. I loved the elevated platforms on both sides and will come prepared to do some maneuvering to get the entire rig washed next time. Plan on spending about $45.00.

This place is a complete rip-off. If your car doesn't work they charge you $2 for cash back. You put $5 in machine you get minutes to wash your car. So if you liking paying $15 to wash your car yourself, feel free

This is the best self car wash in Reno! I like that it automatically extends the time by a 15-second increment. So, you won't get charged for a full one minute when you went over just one second.

Very happy the drive through car wash is back open! I always used the self wash here when it was The Wave, and the new owner as brought some welcome improvements with the new equipment and improved payment terminal. I visited on Friday night, and most of the self wash bays were occupied with people cleaning up their rides. Car wash is fast, and I really appreciate that the owner kept the prices close to what they were originally, as that has always been a huge deciding factor for me to come here.
