Happy Carwash

I needed to get my car washed ASAP and decided to go to the one close to my work during lunch hour, rather than deal with rush hour traffic to get to the one closer to my place in downtown San Diego. Bad decision, this car wash is more expensive and FAR less quality. It says complete vacuum on all the options, I got the gold plan, afterwards all the dog hair was still heavily on the passenger seat where the dog always seats. It wasn’t even touched, I don’t know why it wasn’t vacuumed, but I know my regular place downtown ALWAYS does a good job vacuuming, more thoroughly washes down everything, and does it all for a couple dollars less. The outside of the car looks fine, but compared to other places this place did a horrible job on the inside.

Greedy SOBs operate this place. I rented a Uhaul truck there yesterday. Called to amend the contract to a destination ¹⁄₃ the miles and two less days. I’ve been on phone for 2+ hours between them and the various regional offices. What a bunch of crap. Best I can find, this place had the ability to make the appropriate credit, but they refused. Oh, and regional sales manager for his district is not leading the way in customer serice, told me to take it or leave it. PISS POOR SERVICE, may they rightfully loose all the business they don’t deserve for this review.

Nice job on cleaning my truck; they even emptied my trash box when they were cleaning the inside of my truck. A bit on the pricey side but after 2 300+ miles trips in a week my baby needed it and it was worth it.

I have had a few bad visits here but this last one was the worst so far. This is a car wash run by shady people who try very hard to up sell. After I said no to the detail, hand wax service (repeatedly) I went inside to pay. I noticed on my receipt I was charged an additional $ 2 for an SUV/​truck when I drive a 4 door car. I pointed that out and cashier said he has to charge what is written on the ticket. The guy behind him told him to give me the $ 2 back. I let them know that the behavior was very dishonest. The mid grade car wash I selected was to come with a freshener but they never asked when scent I would prefer. I did not get a freshener. I will not go back.

REAL BASIC~ Sometimes we have it but are we happy, UH No!
Get the Basic Car Wash
Don’t Expect any tar/​bugs off your window. Had to go home and redo myself and had to still dry the excess water residue.
The Cherry Scent never came to fruition. Shaking my head.
Real quick hence maybe the information above but the people inside the gas station were real nice and end of the day the exterior of the car was clean for my mom.

Worst car wash ever. They advertise 10 cents off a gallon of gas if you get a wash, but don’t tell you that that is the cash only price. Then they charged me $ 2 dollars more just because I have a truck, short bed mind you. I bought the platinum wash, they only vacuumed the inside, left the mats tossed I had to reset the mats in their proper spot. They didn’t touch the dash or console, left them dirty. The high dollar wash included Armorall to the outside tires and plastic runners on the truck. They got the Armorall all over the metal, chrome and windows, which I had to wipe off, it looked terrible. Still had dirt on the truck that I had to clean off. It took me an hour at home to do it right. Never going back to this place.

I’ve been coming here for more than a year, usually pretty good service. Today I use my «free» wash after buying x amount. It’s not free… he still charged me $ 3! I told him it doesn’t say it on the card and he says «it’s not illegal», which instantly made me think this business is shady. He argued with me saying I should have showed the guy who writes the ticket outside. Um those guys don’t handle the tickets, the cashier does!!! I told him to quit arguing with me. Never coming back.

Not the worst place for a simple car wash but the waxing experience was very bad. They WAY underestimated the amount of time it would take. I told them I didn’t have time and they assured me it would be done in time… It wasn’t. Also, they left wax residue all over the black trim of my car. ALL OVER!
I would not go there again.

**********Do not use happy car wash they dented my car door ***********************
I took my year old convertible to get washed and they dented my door. I immediately told the cashier and was transferred from one person to another who all claimed they were the manager. The real manager or owner was in fact not there. The cashier tried to help stating they would have to roll back the security cameras to confirm that one of their workers actually dented my car door. When I finally got a hold of the «real» manager/​owner, he denied his workers were responsible and stated they could not review the security videos as they were for «security» purposes only. Basically, he told me his workers did not damage my car and it was now my problem and he didn’t care about my issue. Luckily, I have good insurance and they covered my car for a small deductible and after $ 800.00 worth of damages later my car is now fixed. I understand that accidents can happen but step up to the plate and own your mistakes. They are now dealing with my insurance company… K A R M A!!!

UN-​HAPPY CARWASH!!!
Seriously! I came here because I knew it woud be easy to take my 2 and 5 year old for a walk and come back in awhile. I pulled up, and the guy asks me what I want… there are like a bunch of options and specials posted, and I tell him «well, I REALLY would like to get it detailed but I don’t have THAT much time (at least 2 hours for a proper detail right?) So, can I get something a little less than a FULL detail, but I want the inside REALLY clean. He says, «How about we just do a regular wash on the outside, but we wash down the inside, clean it up good– ALL the inside and wash the carpet for 45?» I’m like… ummm 45? that’s decent for REAL interior cleaning, but expensive for a regular wash.
An hour later I come back, and my car is done, I look at the outside and there are bugs ALL over the bumper and hood. REALLY? So I go to pay and I tell the guy, «I’m not really happy about the outside, and I haven’t seen the inside yet» So the guy, which seems to be an owner gets gruff and rude. He tells the guys to fix it. I open up the back door and there are literally crumbs on the chairs!
My car was «dirty» but it wasn’t «filthy» My kids ate cookies and there were crumbs and such, but nothing a good vacuuming couldn’t pick up!
By this time my kids are getting cranky and the sun is setting, they are closing, so I am so irritated I accept the quick fix and go home.
Today, I go to my car, and in the sunlight, I see scattered crumbs, a coffee spill on my dash and crud in my console, and on ALL the door handles. It was LITERALLY NEVER EVEN WIPED DOWN or attempted to be cleaned. I could have done this myself and saved the time and money!!! So I went back. The guy says, «well what you paid for was only to wash you mats and carpet» WTF? WHAT??? NOOOO!!! This was NOT what I was told. I wanted the WHOLE interior clean, and had it been done properly, I probably would’ve paid a bit more, the point was I wanted it to be CLEAN.
It’s a carwash! Who spends 45 bucks for a measly wash and a half ass cleaning? Who would be content with that kind of service? «Yeahhhh, just clean the mats, go ahead and leave the crumbs»??? REALLY!!!
Never, Never EVER AGAIN!!!

Basic, no frills, not the most detailed wash

STAY AWAY, THE EMPLOYEE’S ARE THIEF’S. sucked up all my change in car door, chased the employee down the street, Co. did nothing about it.

$ 29. 99 special right now for synthetic oil and a car wash. No wait. Walmart and Express Tire both had 2 – 3 hour waits.

The car wash in this place is one of the best around here and actually, this place even has a small fast food store for a quick lunch.

Who knew a car wash and Shell gas station would have a fast food mexican restaurant inside. Only in San Diego! Not a bad place to get your dirty automobile washed. They do a good job on making sure your hoopty is clean and ready to floss. $ 10.95 for a basic wash $ 14.95 for the Gold Wash… and up!
