I like coming here because for $ 2.50 you can wash your car. Also the owner is always on site he is honest and friendly. I lost my wallet and the owner went out of his way to make sure I got it back. I give this place 5 stars it’s an affordable and honest place and the owner is always on site.

Have everything you need to wash and clean your vehicle, inside and out. It can get a little pricey if you take a long time, or have a large vehicle, so just make sure that you don’t waste your time. And for those people who don’t understand what the tokens are, they’re not ripping you off. If you change a $ 20. You’ll probably get about 7 – 8 tokens which are a dollar. Someone wrote a review and seemed to have a little trouble understanding that. Scrub yo shit and roll out

For just a couple dollars more I could just bring my car to a drive through car wash. You feel like you need to sprint around the car to finish in time and if you stop for even a few seconds you watch your money go tick tock down the drain. Also, the instructions aren’t very clear and maybe I’m just dumb, but now my car looks like crap. Only after watching someone else do it did I figure it out. And at that point I wasn’t about to put another $ 7 – 8 in the machine to do it right. Also the rags you can buy for $ 0.50 work for about 5 seconds before becoming completely saturated. Probably won’t go back, but maybe I will if I have a well thought out plan of attack to maximize the timer.

I just went here today; reasonably priced and I actually like how there aren’t a ton of unnecessary options on the selector dial. Keeps it simple and you can use your time just doing what you have to. (That’s why we all have Meguiar’s and Turtle Wax at home, right?)

Clean. Attended by a human much of the time. Never lost any money in their machines. They now take credit cards. The bug-tire brushes work well.
The timers seem to run awfully fast … but maybe time just flies when yur having so much dang fun.

This place robs you. Gives you tokens that says they’re worth a dollar in the wash bays or vacuums and when you use them they’re worth a quarter.
The place is kind of dirty and there’s crap and trash on the floors of the bays. I was so disappointed with the coin SNAFU that i wasn’t going to give the place another dime so I didn’t use the vacuums and drove home the 8 blocks to dry my truck at home.
I came here a couple years ago and remembered it being shitty but I was in a pinch and needed to wash my truck now.
Still shitty!!!

Got the job done. All in all, I used $ 7.50 to use 7 minutes of the washer/foam machine, 8 minutes of the vacuums, and get a little rag to polish with. Definitely not bad! If I am ever in the area again, I would consider coming back to wash my car. I feel like I got my money’s worth.

$ 2.50 to wash my Subaru, plus 50 cents for a wipedown towel… that’s a pretty good deal.
Looks like the same equipment as the place in Oceanside, so take your pick.
