Costco Car Wash

Thanks to Alyssa S for her great review and my dirty vehicles. Really glad that this location has 1 of 4 car washes in SoCal being a newly relocated Southern Californian from Austin, TX. $ 7.99 for a wash, spray on wax, black magic tire dressing on the tires and a blow dry. Can’t beat that deal anywhere but if it only had customer service attendants rather than rough, angry, little boys then it would get and additional star plus.
nothing worse than being mad dogged and spoken to non professionally when they talk to you. I know Costco pays their staff better than average but i would recommend a manager have the place shopped and reviewed or something to improve their poor attitude. i’ve been to this wash 4 times this month and each time same non professional service and each time hoping for some improvement.
Guess Unilocal can be a great place to vent. Moving past the human experience the overall mechanical wash is excellent. Machines never complain or have bad days.

This has decent reviews but it scratched the crap outta my black car. I wouldn’t use it again. It left little specks on my car of protective coat. I’m really disappointed. My car just looks awful.

This is a pretty sweet car wash that does a very decent job cleaning your car. There’s a Costco Member Lane and a Standard Member Lane and I honestly have no idea what the difference is since the cost is exactly the same. Cash is not accepted here so make sure to have a debit or credit card handy.

Now I’m in arbitration with Costco because they aren’t taken responsibility for what there car wash did to the car

FACT: Did you know Costco has ONLY 4 car wash locations in Socal?
(Victorville, Poway, San Juan Capistrano and… OXNARD!)
Yup that’s right Ventura County Costco members! Take advantage of this car wash location!
— Very convenient if you’re already at Costco (MEMBERS ONLY btw) & the car wash is quick!
— Plenty of booths to pay (just line up in one of the 2 lanes, swipe your Costco member card, then your payment card… btw no cash accepted! then grab your receipt and hand it to the employer before the wash.)
** FYI: Be prepared to wait in line on weekends.
— One option to choose: $ 7.99 exterior wash but it includes everything
— NO NEED to use your gas pedal, brakes or steering wheel during the car wash! (unlike most places). Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

On 2÷19÷16 I ran my car through, usually all is ok except this time it came out with a thick black grease all over the right side and right rear! I showed Jen the attendant the problem which marked my ticket «refund». As you know the Oxnard store is a zoo most of the time and I didn’t have the time to deal with it then … instead I went home and had to polish the right side and rear of the car to get the grease off. I went on line to Customer service and they forwarded the message to Oxnard, they did called me for a refund and a couple of free washes but to this day 3÷12÷16 still nothing! I must say the management at the Oxnard Costco leaves a lot to be desired and it seems it always has been that way too bad I like Costco but nothing is perfect.

$ 7.99 for a car wash bro? Outside of the car only… Don’t get much better than this…

Does a pretty good job. Better than the other drive-​thru car washes in town. However, some of the scrubbers on the right hand side did not make contact with my car. Which resulted in me having to do some extra cleaning afterwards ;/

Costco has everything from excessive amounts of soft drinks you’ll probably never drink, clothes, furniture, anything thing you can name. My favorite thing here other than the pizza is this car wash. I, like most lazy Americans, will wait in line for something that is fast and convenient. This car wash does the job especially after its rained a bit of you’ve driven to Vegas and back with a bunch of bug residue splattered all over your car. My only issue here is it doesn’t dry your car off completely, especially the bigger SUVs/​trucks but it does leave your car squeaky clean. There is only one option for $ 8. I mean how can you beat that? I would pay a little extra to have some more premium options but it’ll do. Just be prepared to wait in line!

the car wash damaged my tire, poking a hole in the sidewall. I immediately reported it to costco, who basically stated that it was impossible. I took it to a tire store for them to verify the damage, and they stated the damage was consistent with damage that can be created by a car wash.
Costco and its insurance refused to take accountability, and told me there no evidence the wash caused the damage. When questioned, they stated that they havent even inspected the car wash, and refuse to do so. They told me it was my fault end of story.
I will not be back, and am considering dropping my membership after 10+ years

Best automatic car wash around! I love it bc it’s like a mini amusement park ride lol. For only $ 7.99 :) Note: you need a Costco membership so bring your card or Costco amex card!
My car was super filthy today and came out looking shiny and new. I drive an SUV — so for bigger cars, I do recommend bringing a small cloth /​towel to dry off some parts that the air blower might not fully get.
On the weekends, this place can get busy, so I recommend coming on a weekday!

I was worried where to take my new car for a car wash. I had seen others trusting this car wash with their nice vehicles so I decided to go ahead. I am very happy to say my car came through without Any problems! I wiped down a bit afterward but was simple. Was so proud and relieved to have my car looking so good.

Best drive through car wash around. Tires done, the spray waxes, and dries the car so much better than the other smaller car washes.

Great service from attendant, even though it’s a machine wash system there is an attendant maintaining the entry. She helps prepare the car, remove antennas, etc.

This Costco car wash is the best you can get on Oxnard and Ventura. Highly recommended.

I wanted this to work so badly. I debated between a 2 and 3 star review.
The good: quick and convenient, you pull up and pay just like you would at the gas pumps. The attendant makes sure your car is set on the track and reminds you of the rules before your car goes in. Various soaps, rinses, and brushes whirl by as your car is cleaned, finishing with a blast of air to quick dry your vehicle.
The bad: This is not a car wash, it’s more of a car re-​clean. If you’re car is relatively clean, you’ll most likely be satisfied with the results. But my car was DIRTY. Like hadn’t been washed in over a month, covered in a film of dust, dirty. Also the attendant had to stop me before driving away because the rubber strip from my roof had been ripped off and he needed to put it back. Which wasn’t a big deal until after exiting my car I noticed there were still dirt spots here and there. And the right side of my trunk has white scrapes of straight lines and swirls that weren’t there before.
Overall, it wasnt worth the cheap price for a car wash. Id only recommend this if you last got a full service car wash and just needed to refresh the exterior. Otherwise spend the extra $ 5 and get your whole car cleaned.
But I sill love the cheap gas!!!

Seriously?! Costco + Car Wash?! Why isn’t there one in Long Beach?
The scoop: $ 7.99 — that’s it, no options, it comes with everything. Two lanes to drive up and pay (ATM/​AmEx only).
Quick and easy and your car is nicely clean after. If there was one closer where I live, I’d be using it all the time!

This was the most thorough drive-​through carwash I have every been to!
$ 7.99 and it also scrubs your undercarriage and your tires
The attendant is always was really friendly and explained how everything works, lining up your left tires to drive up onto the ramp, putting the car in neutral and then letting the machine pull you through on the conveyor belt, and then the light signals at the end so you know when it’s OK to start driving away

My car has been through other drive-​thru car wash places and they merely do exterior cleaning, those places should be called «car rinse».
This place on the other hand really deserves to be called a «Car Wash» because your car exterior really gets washed and cleaned!
Every Costco in SoCal should have this good quality of a car wash, only time will tell.

Costco has a car wash!!!
It’s 7.99 for a drive through type car wash. You pull up and pay at the machine like you were paying for gas (membership card then payment card) then drive around to the front of the car wash machine. There is a guy there who takes your ticket and also tells you what to do. Put car in neutral, don’t touch the break or steering wheel. Think the gas station car washes you drive your car into and put in park, but in a longer building so your car just slowly moves through all the stages.
It cleaned my car quickly and I didn’t even have to dry it, between the fans and spot free rinse (I think) I just drove out and was done.
I saw a few reviews where people were complaining that it cost more than a gas station wash — but maybe because I don’t live in Oxnard, but $ 7.99 was cheaper than the gas station car washes I’ve been to.
I wish there was one actually near my house!
