Express Car Wash & Lube

Quick $ 5 express auto wash. Vacuum area is in the back at the end. Staff are so helpful. They tried to brush off the junk stuck from tree sap but of course I need to take it in for a more detail clean.
Not limited vacuum self use, no shade. Vacuum strength is decent. Hidden behind, not part of chevron. Pretty decent quick car wash.
Don’t expect your car to be spotless or getting much junk off. Think this place is more for up keeping quick clean maintenance on your car. Unlimited vacuum time is pretty awesome. Staff is around if you have questions.

The sign said 7a-​7p every day. Unilocal says 8a. Make up your mind and when you do, be consistent.

For $ 5 you get a basic wash and self-​service vacuum. The hours are great because you can get a wash before or after work, as most days of the week, if not all, they’re open 7am-​7pm.
There’s self-​service machines before you enter the wash that accept cash or credit. I believe there’s 3 levels of wash available. Once you pay the gate opens, you pull up to the wash where you’re directed by a team of workers to help you get your vehicle on the tracks correctly. If you use the mirror above, it’s pretty simple to steer your vehicle correctly onto the track yourself. Upon placing your vehicle into neutral, the workers will do a quick scrub down to remove any heavy dirt and bird poop deposits; they also rinse off your wheels.
Unfortunately, they don’t provide dash wipes at this carwash, which is a bummer. The soap and water pressure does a good job of getting most of the dirt off. The dryers are powerful, but the time is a bit limited so I usually end up with residual water on my back bumper and around my side mirrors. There’s plenty of vacuums available and they also have big trashcans to throw out any trash you’ve accumulated. Again, for $ 5, convenient hours, and a quick wash, this is usually my go-​to carwash in this area :)

I really like this car wash, of course you won’t get the «works» per say but for being a drive thru car wash I like it. Gets the car dryer than other drive thru car washes I’ve gone to. The prices are good and it even had an attendant who helped explain the prices and what you get for the price which I thought was a nice touch. Plus it has a free vacuum service!

I tried this car wash after the H2GO in Westminster badly scratched my car’s paint, raised their prices and sped-​up the car wash so you car doesn’t get clean enough. This place is far easier on you car’s finish and always gets your car very clean. I’ve ran my car through here at least 20 times without any problems.

I just pulled up to this place with my truck and my employee is behind me in the service van. I told the lube boy I wanted an oil change for both vehicles. Just an oil change. Conventional Oil NOT synthetic. He told me that the book recommends my truck use synthetic and that’s all he will put in it. Well my owners Manuel says my truck will take conventional. He refused to do it. I took both vehicles next door to the auto shop. Typical oil change crooks. The sign on the building says Basic oil change $ 19.99. In a lawn mower maybe.

The girl who washes your car with water before you go thru the car wash was RUDE !!! She rudely tapped on my window was horrible. I get it. It’s not a very «hands» on customer service position she works but still RUDE I will never come back here specifically for that employee. Whoever owns this facility needs to have a serious conversation with her about her nasty attitude.

They were extremely rude. I had been here once before and had a $ 5 off from the prior visit. He told me that I could not use it. The sign says $ 19.99, but that oil change does not exist. I drive a little Hyundai Elantra and it was still about $ 40. I’m better off going to the dealership at least they will rob me with a smile.

Nothing fancy. Gets the job done. They used to have someone who brushed the wheels real quick before entering the wash, not anymore. So wheels dont come out looking that great.
Four stars because it’s cheap, free vacuum, buy three washes get 1 free. Lost a star because wheels don’t get that clean.

They do not, REPEAT, DO NOT have a $ 19.99 oil change deal, They advertise it, but if you have a car that takes 5w-​20 (a lot of newer cars) they will charge you $ 35.
$ 15 extra for different weighted non synthetic oil? No, they charge you an extra $ 15 to check all of your levels, air filter, etc…(you know all the things that other lube shops do for free) And the kicker is that you cant get the 5W-​20 oil change without the extra «car inspection» charge.
It wasn’t till the end when I told him I used to be a mechanic in the military, And a technician assistant at a dealership (and know my cars), and that I know that 5W-​20 doesn’t cost more than the average oil (unless its synthetic) that I was told what the extra $ 15 bucks were for.
The price difference in 5W-​20 that some shops charge are around $ 5, and that is only because if it is a oil weight they don’t use often (gets a lot of older cars) they will buy it by the quart, instead of the barrel (leading to bulk discounts on the barrel). But as i watched him fill up the car, he was pumping from the barrel and not using more expensive quarts.
I was also told that i needed an engine flush cause i have gunk and buildup in my engine, I asked for him to show me the buildup and when we got to the car he told me «its because your oil is really dirty» No duh, thats what happens to used oil, and is the reason I’m getting the oil changed.
Honestly im pretty bummed Lube King is gone, cause I never had problems before this and now have to find a place that I can trust again.

I had been going to this place before they remodeled all the time.
Long story short they damaged my running boards with their NEW wheel cleaners. I spoke with the manager and owner, and despite the manager knowing that I use to come here quite often said «the sign says we are not responsible for damage.» I tried arbitration and that did not work so now I have to do more.
I took pictures, video recorded and covered all my bases.
All these 5 star reviews are probably friends or family as I see this place empty quite often.
They could have been more helpful but instead looked the other way.
On their previous Unilocal (with this new owner) another man who contacted me said his car was damaged too.

Go somewhere else!!! Don’t waste your money at this place! I normally go to H2Go on Westminster, but first time I tried out this place, and that was my big mistake. Their equipment damaged my car and they were totally un-​cooperated with the incident.

This place is brilliant. It is a regular car wash with self service. so you get the profession grade cleaning for the self serve price. Prices range from $ 5-​$ 9 and you get to use the vacuum for free. They won’t clean your windows or shampoo the carpets, but you can’t beat the price or the clean. I had grease on my wheels for months, and even after several trips to professional car washes in the area, this is the first place that actually got the grease off of my wheels, and it was faster and cheaper than any gas station car wash.
They didnt open that long ago, so i can understand why they are so slow right now, but trust me when i tell you, i am picky when it comes to where i get my car washed, and this place is top notch.
have not gone to get my oil changed since the ownership changed, but the Car Wash service is great.
If you need to get your car washed, and have seen this place off the freeway, and wanted to wait for a few reviews before you went… STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND JUST GO!!! you wont regret it.

This is the best express car wash around town! I’ve been here 3 times so far!
It’s a little hard to find, but it’s hidden behind Chevron between Beach and Garden Grove.
They remodeled everything and upgraded all the equipment. They were also offering free car washes this weekend to everyone.
This is my new favorite place to get a car wash!

This review is for their «gold standard wash». Let’s just say, there was nothing gold about it. Haha. I paid $ 14.99 and tipped them $ 5, wasn’t worth it.
There was dirt left on the car and plenty of missed places. I actually had to tell the guy which places to wipe. When I was driving at night after my carwash, the front and back windshields were very foggy and I could see the wipe marks from the towel –_​– they really need to invest in better quality towels.
All in all I felt meh about my carwash. I should’ve just gone with the $ 5 wash and vacuumed it by myself. Tipped the guy $ 5 which now wasn’t even worth it. Lesson learned. You won my money this time but never again.

The best deal in town for a full car wash on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. For $ 8.99 they get the job done!

Not bad for a $ 5 car wash =] owner is nice to my bf and me when we bring our cars in.

This place is great for an express exterior car wash of $ 5. You pay first and then drive yourself through the wash. The man will scrub your tires (a plus!) and then after you are done, you are welcome to use their vaccuums to clean out your car. No tipping necessary… and I love how the vaccuums are free!

The a$$hole in the front failed to mention their machines were out of order and being worked on. They also failed to mention your «Platinum» car wish will be done with a garden hose. Yep… a f*cking garden hose. A very low pressured garden hose at that. My mirrors are so smeared I have to go out now and clean them myself. Nothing like paying $ 20 to have your car dirtier than when it arrived.
Next time warn a customer they’re going to get a ½ assed wash with a garden hose. How can you sell me the car wash with «rainbow wax» and spotless rinse WHEN YOU’RE USING A F*CKING BUCKET FULL OF SOAPY WATER AND RINSING IT OFF WITH A GARDEN HOSE!!! This doesn’t entitle me to a discount!!!
F*CK YOU PLATINUM CAR WASH!
Merry Christmas by the way :-D

Quick response… go somewhere else, anywhere else!
I was in need of an oil change and thought the special of an oil change, tire rotation, and car wash for $ 40 at the Express Lube and Wash sounded perfect… oh god did I pay for that… in fact I’m still paying for it!
So lets start, with the EZ lube… during the tire rotation, the manager comes to me to tell me that one of my lugs (the threaded part you care the wheel is screwed two) was broken. Really? It wasnt broken when I bought the car in… but according to him is was and the lug not was just glued in place. Really? There isn’t glue on the lug or on the nut? Ok… so one lug down. Strike 1
So the finish the oil change and «wash» the car. Actually they wiped down all of the car above the trim, leaving the bottom of the car totally filthy. Strike 2.
Today as I was having my cars broken lug replaced (at another shop) I had the torque on the lugs tested. This should be at ~85 lbs… yet they were cranked to 150 lbs! So could it be that EZ lubes overzealous wrench monkey snapped the lug by using too much torque… oh yes it could! In addition, the new oil filter place on the car during the oil change was not tightened and was leaking! AWESOME, STRIKE 3… this place just got a life sentence on my $#!^ list!
