***PICTURES PROVIDED OF DAMAGED PARTS***. I took my car to get an interior detail and unfortunately I had a bad experience. I would not recommend taking your car as it seems the people working there do not know what they are doing. The main reason I went was to get my seats cleaned and they were not cleaned at all. Also, they cut corners to make it look like your car is cleaned when in reality they did a poor job. I did let them know they did not clean my car well and they brought someone to help me. The guy started cleaning in between the door handles on all four doors and I noticed he was removing the paint off of the door in front of me. I told him to stop immediately and told him what he did. He wiped the paint debris off and said he hadn’t done anything and that my car was already like that. I told him to bring someone else so I could explain what had just happened. I hope they have integrity and fix the damage they did.

I had always driven by this place many times and had seen the long lines so I figured they must be really good. I decided to stop by today and I chose the hand wash for $20. I got out of my car and they said they would let me know when it would be ready (30minute estimate). I waited inside, and kept waiting. After an hour of waiting I asked the cashier if they were going to let me know when my car was ready or if I had to go check on my own. She said she would check and let me know. She came back with my keys and said that it had been ready a while ago. When I got to my car it was washed and vacuumed as they advertised but there was no car freshener and there are water marks on my windows and mirrors. I was disappointed and hoping for a better service since it has so many good reviews.

Decent place to get your weekly wash. The reason for the 2 star deduction is that they clean things very superficially. Anything that requires more than a simple wipe won’t be covered by this place. Look at pictures for an example. Sticky substance that required a little more than a wipe near my passenger driver side floor. I literally took a paper napkin and a water bottle I had and scrubbed for 15 seconds and removed most of it. I’ll need to give my car a second pass myself with more detail. Posted receipt to show that I just got the car washed no more than 15 minutes ago.

Once arriving, I passed the car wash because it's very small and kind of hidden. There really should be a bigger sign up so you can see it better off the street. When I pulled in and saw the prices I thought it was expensive but once I saw them cleaning my truck, I realized it was worth it. The guys work very hard to make sure everything looks good. They went over it several times while drying and went above and beyond to make sure it was shiny and clean. I will definitely be back.

  • Francisca Rosibel Palacios Galindo

The only reason I give them 4 stars is because they didn't do a good job washing the carpet on the floor of my subaru. So after I picked it up I went home and spent an hour brushing it myself and then the next day went back to show them that they could do much better if only took the time to do it right. The owner then took it seriously and personally did the job and told one of his worker how to do it correctly. Thank u Sr Manuel.

  • Benjamin A Hoga

I drive by this place every single day to and from my home. Lines of cars with their owners are commonly waiting for their car to be cleaned and/or detailed. A few of our neighbors swear by this place. When I hear what they pay I'm a little taken back. But when I see the results, it's as though their car has been restored back to as it was when they bought it brand new. PRETTY AMAZING

  • Dorothy S.

They clean cars very nice. It seems like a family business. I love going to this car wash cause there's a taco shop right next door to it so while I'm waiting for the car to get ready I go over to the taco shop and have a meal til my car is ready.

  • Shayla Marie

Prices went up but their service is outstanding. I've never had a complaint. I went there once with my car covered in sand from the beach..when I left there wasn't a grain of sand. They also wiped a scratch off my car. I'm a customer for life.

  • Rose Rivera

Needed a car wash while in town. My husband found this place on google. Got there and it reminded me of the car washes in Mexico not like the drive in and out in LA. They did an amazing job on my Durango. Definitely coming back.

  • B Boop

They are good but did not like they stole something from my truck and when I called they said they would like it it.. Bottom line they should not be taking anything that is not theirs.. And not good to have workers that do that

  • George Pamboris

This place is in high demand and cars line up and it is worth it. Very good prices for the services they offer and their work is almost perfection. Their attention to detail is awesome. I am definitely going back again soon.

  • Joseph Espinoza

Dont be fooled by this little hole in the wall, these guy pack a quality knock out punch, prices are very competitive! You may have to deal with a little wait but just plan out your day better #supportindependentbusiness

  • FRANCISCA ROSIBEL PALACIOS

I give them 4 stars only because I had to return and have them finish really cleaning the carpets in my car after detailing the interior. The owner took it seriously and finished the job himself. Thank u

  • manuel gutierrez

NICE PLACE for a detail car wash. Always good customer service. The price to do a full service car wash it's not so expensive like normal car washes. Well recommended for anyone who wants a good carwash.
