Willamette Car Wash

I am giving it 4 stars for being the only "touch-less" washes in the area. The only thing is, the water jets only remove about 50% of the debris on the vehicle. When you get towel dried at the end is where you get fully cleaned. So if they can't reach the top of your car, guess how clean it will be? Depending on the rush you might get some missed spots on the side. Another note, I wish they would be more clear about the line for the place. Regulars know you go to the far right next to the car wash to wait so that people who are driving through have a path out or to go to the oil service place. But there is no clear direction on that. The lights were probably used for the oil place at one point but things just aren’t as busy there anymore. It is frustrating when there is a line and you might have been there for 15 minutes and nobody is behind you but you are leaving that hole for people to drive through and some newbie pulls up and fills the hole. Then you have to beep the horn and let them know you have been in line. Just make a sign and give us a definitive direction! One day someone will have had a bad day and this mistake will cause someone to freak out!

Touchless, cheap. Don't let them scratch your paint with the towel dry because there will still be debris on your car. This is more of a car "rinse". You got to get out the bucket to keep your car show clean.

Best car wash! BRUSHLESS and the hand dry was great! Very worth the price!

My expectations for a drive-through car wash are not too high. It's a convenient way to knock the dust off and apply some wax, not an auto detailing opportunity. That said, today's run through the Willamette Car Wash was disappointing relative to similar car washes that I've used. I bought the top option for $13. The folks were friendly, the line of vehicles moved through quickly, and I appreciated the towel drying effort at the end. Unfortunately, when I got home 10 minutes later and looked at the truck, both sides were still dirty and heavily streaked. The attached picture of the lower portion of the driver's door is representative of the whole truck. Perhaps the sun brought out a high volume of customers and the team couldn't spend enough time with their wands and rags before sending the truck through or the towels got dirty because of too many vehicles. The lesson for me is to pull forward and walk around the rig once before driving away. If I had noticed this while still at the carwash I would have asked to run through a second time. This location is worth a shot, just check the work.

This car wash is wonderful - no brushes grinding someone else's mud/rocks/tar into your paint! The dryers at the end didn't blow my eardrums out either. For $10 it is awesome. The young folks running the machine and wiping it down afterward were terrific too! **UPDATE** Went again 6/30/23 and it's still great! The vacuums are $.75 and they last a long time. **UPDATE** Went again 3/14/24 and it's still awesome. Just go.

Needed a quick wash after some bad weather, and this location is convenient for me. I opted for all the extras, but don't know why I did that. Feeling bougie I guess. Quickly realized it was a touchless wash, and prepared myself for a dirty 'clean' car. Yup. Still the haze of dirt on my car and the faint outline of the wiper path on my windshield. Do not go here with a moderately to very dirty car and expect it to look clean after. Nice folks, but I've never been to a touchless wash that actually cleaned my car well.

(3.5 stars!) Great for slightly dirty cars, bad for very dirty cars! If you're car is just dusty this place is great! This car wash only uses water jets, not any scrubbing or brushing apparatuses, and therefore has trouble getting anything a bit sticky off. Great pricing and some friendly staff. Also they give you a towel to clean your dash and door Interiors which is nice.

Stopped at this car wash on my way home to Vancouver WA. $15 for car wash. Worst car wash ever. It looked like I drove through another rainstorm. I called to complain to a manager and was told that I would have to drive back for a refund or a courtesy car wash. Do not go there, it is a waste of $$.

We paid for the highest package and got very, very poor service. I had to wipe down my own car because they barely grazed over my car with the rag. We had to additionally pay for vacuum that had almost no suction. Don’t waste your money here☹️

WORST car wash i’ve ever had. Just went through in my BRAND NEW CAR and it’s awful plus scratched while drying by a ring or bracket or something.

I went to get my car washed here, as I’ve done many times since they opened, and they missed a couple of large spots - the largest of which is in the picture. No problem, everybody makes mistakes. I took it back in to have them redo it. The problem is that when I told the cashier which spots they’d missed before, they didn’t bother to acknowledge any of it and waved me through for a second time. The other pictures I’ve included are the spot they missed, again, and the amount of dirt I was able to remove with a simple wet rag. If I wanted a patchwork wash job, I’d pay half the price for an equal job anywhere on 82nd. I certainly won’t be back to this one.

Friendly young men at both ends of the wash. Respectful, courteous, and both did good work! Most people don’t know that the most important part of getting your car washed is getting it dried properly. At Willamette Car Wash, they do and dry by hand!

I just had the best customer service at this car wash this morning. For $12 I got to go through the touchless wash, and even have a kid hand dry the car for me at the end. I also especially appreciated the wet cloth to wipe down my dash while I went through the car wash. While the outside of my car isn’t the cleanest it’s ever been, the price was good and the service was great so I would go back.

i love the service at this carwash! I've had a subscription there for a couple of years and just recently decided to cancel the subscription as a means of saving money. I cancelled in December, but I was charged again in January. I went in again to see if it could be refunded and cancelled, but the manager was not there. My wife and i have called multiple times with no luck in getting ahold of the manager to sort this out.

Inconsistent at best. I only go here out of convenience during winter. I recommend inspecting the car during the hand dry, which is basically someone just wiping down 3/4 the windows before the next car is up. The entire back of my SUV didn't look like any dirt came off and the bottom of ALL my doors still had significant streaking/dirt left. I ended up cleaning at home instead of going back and waiting another 10+ minutes.
