    Literally worst car wash i've been to. Moved to the area and was looking for a new place. Had an "all service car wash" and never coming again. The most half ass job i've ever seen Still dusty still crumbs in my back seat and dog hair. They half ass wiped one wheel The rims were still dusty

    Missed spot #4

    So let me get this straight... you charge people $35.00 for a half done job? I literally got my car washed today at 9am and this is the service I received.

    The driver front area by the gas and brake pedals.

    I just paid $40 for their "Supreme Wash." Pretty pricey and I was expecting better. Unfortunately, as I got into the car - just a few months old - I could see the area by the gas and brake pedals was absolutely filthy. This is the photo I took at the car wash when the attendant gave me the car. I immediately complained to the manager who told me that cleaning that area would cost extra. I said, "more than the $40 I just paid for your Supreme Wash?" I was incredulous that she could say that with a straight face. I asked her how she could return a car to me in that condition? She just shrugged and walked away. I understand that a car wash can sometimes miss stuff - it happens. But when a customer points out something so clearly missed, you fix it. You don't walk away and shrug your shoulders. This is my Yelp review, complete with photo - the photo was taken at the car wash before I drove off. CLICK ON THE PHOTO. We've gone to this place for decades but walking away from doing such a bad job is unacceptable. I'll find another place.

    I should have read the reviews before coming to this place. $49 just to wash your car...they supposed to vacuum inside. But just forget about it. Don't waist your money. No pierdas tu tiempo muy mal servicio pero muy mal mejor hazlo tú mismo no pierdas dinero ni tiempo.

    No vaccum done

    Each time I wish this place gets a bit better it's the opposite.. $40 for supreme was and it's not even vacuumed!

    Scratches

    DO NOT get your car washed here if it is in new or pristine condition. My car was left with a plethora of scratches after last nights wash. Save your money. My car is a brand new 2025 BMW and it WAS in perfect condition.

    Damaged Wheel.

    I just brought my Tesla 2022 in to get washed and accidentally scratched my front left wheel. When I called them on it they stood behind the damage. I am extremely happy and thankful that they took ownership of it. As it turns out, I got an estimate from Americas Tire and they issued me a check to cover it. I am getting my new wheel replaced on Monday of next week. Going forward I will remain a subscriber to Auto Pride but I will use the Palo Alto location as it is less likely to happen there as it is a strait shot into the washing area. Very thankful and extremely happy.

    Paid for platinum this is how the car was return, even with a manager review before calling the customer

    Today is the last time I'll use this place, It's always a shitty job. For the price they charge they never really do a good job. I will be cancelling my membership on my other vehicle as well after the type of service I received today

    How does one miss this?!

    Pretty Quick but they did not do their job and clean the inside of my car and just oiled everything up!! I want my money back ong!!

    Front of the business

    See all

    Excellent hand washed vehicle business! I've been coming to the San Carlos location for years now…read moreand really enjoy the friendly / professional staff and hand washed cars. We bring 3 cars here almost once a week on a monthly subscription. I've also started using their detailing services in the last couple of years. My only concern is I've heard rumors from friends that Auto Pride may be moving to a machine wash system. Not a fan of machine washed cars. It's the only hand wash car business in the mid-peninsula that I know of. It will be a sad day if Auto Pride moves to a machine washing or touchless system. I'm hoping not to go back to washing my own cars.

    My son went to Auto Pride in San Carlos today expecting the $35 basic wash. The first attendant…read moreasked what he wanted and he clearly said just the basic wash. Then another employee came over, spoke quickly, and my son--who did not understand what was being offered--said yes and took the receipt without realizing he had been switched to a much more expensive package. At the check stand it came to over $100. He did not receive a professional detail. We regularly pay that kind of money for an actual detail and this was not that. It was a basic car wash with an upsell tacked on after he had already agreed to the advertised wash. I understand businesses try to upsell. What I don't accept is doing it after the customer has already stated what they want, especially when the customer is not following the pitch. Once he agreed to the basic wash, that should have been the transaction. Auto Pride is a car wash, not a detailing shop. Charging detailing prices for a wash and relying on confusion to get there is taking advantage of people.

I purchase the $200 package knowing that it was going to take some detail work to clean everything and get all the bugs splatter off. Not the best with attention to detail. I understand that they're busy but I figured the $200 package would buy the right for them to take the time. Customer service said it will be 30-40 mins. It was done in 20. I get home and noticed there was a good amount missed on the front bumper and left and right lights. Also on the inside the dressing used seemed like was done in a rush. The back seats weren't wiped down. There was still spots of crumbs and marks from my kids that could be easily wiped off. There was spot where they treated and spots you can tell that was missing. The back trunk rubber trunk mat wasn't taken out and cleaned. $200 was a mistake to spend here.

They did not do a great job -- if I needed a higher level detail, they should have told me from the beginning. The exterior wasn't great either. I asked about some stuff left on the car and they hurriedly said "sticky, $20 more" and immediately walked away. If I had needed a higher level package, I would have been happy to pay it if the guy hadn't just rudely walked away. The experience felt quite unprofessional. Now I am getting my carwash supplies ready to finish the job myself :(. Not ideal.

After paying for my wash, I drove around to pull in, but there were cones in front of the car wash and it was closed for the day. Since I don't live in the immediate area, I went inside to ask for a refund and the cashier responded by telling me that my code did not expire. When I explained that I don't live near here and that the car wash was supposed to be open until 6 PM, the cashier was incredibly dismissive and then told me that I could wait 30 minutes for the manager to arrive. She then held my receipt and started helping other customers. Eventually, I took a picture of my receipt and left. I understand if, as an employee, you can't resolve the matter. But you should treat your customers with a basic level of respect and try to be helpful as opposed to being dismissive and hoping that the problem just goes away. Very frustrating.
