    We signed up for mega wave and the employee gave us platinum anyway and didn't care
    Emerald B.

    Giving this place 0 stars for numerous reasons! I would advise going to literally any other drive thru car wash! Came here twice. First time the car wash didn't clean our car, left a bunch of dirt marks that other drive thru car washes can easily do. We came back again, second time still wasn't clean. Employee opened and turned on the car wash 10 mins late with me and others waiting to get our car cleaned, no apology. Employee gave us the wrong wash (we purchased the highest tier big wave and got platinum) and he didn't care to change it. still tons on dirt on car. We were so upset with a second bad experience, we went to office to ask to cancel and ask for a refund. The employee told us to call a number for our refund. This is where it gets good. The woman on the phone first phone call just said she'll have the guy let us go through another wash -as if we wanted to do it again! We told her we didn't want to do it. She didn't want to give a refund initially. We called her again and told her that the employee here told us she would take care of our refund. She the. Asked for us to text her our card number and name, any proof and details to why we want to cancel and get a refund. I sent her a full video of the car, this list of all the things that added to our horrible experience, a photo of a license plate thanking her. Hours later, she calls trying to give us a bunch of excuses to why the car washes wasn't able to wash our car properly. We mentioned again not only the car washes wasn't, but the service and non working parts and she purposely ignored saying "mhmmmm" at first she didn't want to give a refund at all again. Then she said she can do a "partial refund" I am waiting on this partial refund which she needed to back up with excuses to why she couldn't give a refund for bad service. The fact that she was pressuring us to just go through the car wash again was so disappointing and upsetting. I really advise you all to please go anywhere else. It's one thing to have a bad car wash, but to have this kind of customer service as well- waste of time and money. This was the nearest one which is why we came, but it's worth the drive finding a new one.

    Free wash is waiting...

    I got a free car wash from Facebook ads. Just try it this afternoon. Unexpectedly it's very good and nice. No waiting, people are helpful, price is reasonable, $15 includes everything. Nice job.

    Good experience good car wash recommend always people always with great attitude good experience

    On Dec 6th I was double charged for a polish. I called and left a voicemail on Dec 11th of which the owner called me back. He checked the charge and confirmed the double charge. He told me to come back and the next time they would apply the charged service. When I came back to get the service I spoke with Carlos and showed him all the documentation and he was unable to assist. He said only the owner can assist and he is away on vacation. Be careful of their charges and double charges. There are other better car washes in the area that dry and finish the paint better.

    I love this place. That's my favorite place to come to wash my car. Always leave my car. Nice and clean. I always come here. You should definitely try it out. The vacuums are always ready to go never busy friendly service, friendly smiles never a big line to get your car

    Great car wash, always friendly here ! They even have detail car wash on the side! Always clean and the vacuums are super strong!!

    Lots of suds....

    This review is for the "Tunnel of Terror" haunted car wash held at Big Wave Car Wash in Anaheim. This is by far one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. It was everything I look for in an event---very unique, wacky and downright silly. There are a few things to keep in mind before considering this experience, however. One, the line is very long. We waited a good 45 minutes before we got to the front of the line. Seems fitting, though, since it's close to Disneyland where long lines are a given. While we were waiting, my teenager complained, "This is taking longer than waiting for the Matterhorn at Disney". Well, yea... So if you are adverse to waiting, don't do this. Secondly, this may not be good for little kids (like under 12 years old...I'm being conservative here). There are lots of clowns here. The makeup, costumes, etc. are spot on. Very well done. The first clown that approached our car banged on our door and stuck his creepy face right up to the side window. He drooled while giving us a death scare. I loved it. To a little one, though, this could be absolutely terrifying. Thirdly, if you wanna up the scare factor, keep your car door unlocked before entering the car wash itself. The jump scares are much more effective. These guys will open your door, hiss right in your face, and honk a loud horn at you before closing the door. This was just so awesome. While you're experiencing the whole thing, you tune into a designated FM station that plays creepy background music. This was a great effect. You also get a little treat bag with mini snickers and milky ways as well as coupons for discounted car washes. You can't beat that. I highly, highly recommend this experience. It's more fun than scary, to be honest. The price per car (40-45 bucks, depending on the time you go) is well worth it. Load up a bunch of friends and go. Or bring a date who will be impressed at your choice of a really cool Halloweeny experience. The opportunity to bond is excellent here. The drive to Anaheim was well worth it. The wait was worth it. Just go! I'll take this over Knott's Scary Farm any day. Note: you must pre-purchase tickets online; you can't just drive up and pay. Tickets are sold on Eventbrite via Creepy Cottage 6.

    Not bad. Definitely better than their competitors. But they could have been better with vacuum cleaners. They are little weak.

It was my first time here and was quite excited to bring in my worst condition car for a spa treatment. I was recommended the $200 detail package to help my really bad water spots on my car. They told me my car will be taken care of and will look brand new once finished. I was hopeful. Whole process took just about 1 hour and 45 mins even though I was told 1 hour. All good. It's manual labor work so I rather they not rush through it. After receiving my car back, she definitely sparkled in a way where she hasn't sparkled in years. It was my first time getting a proper detail for her. But upon closer look after I left, she still had water spots on her in some areas. :( I attached some photos. I feel attention to detail could be improved to keep a long term customer. I do want to mention the good things I expended here to be fair in my review. The inside waiting area was air conditioned and comfortable. The outside waiting area is also very spacious. The workers here are also all nice. Since it was my first visit and I got one of the most expensive packages here, unfortunately the results didn't fully deliver. The biggest concern was hard water spots when I brought this car in but it was not fully resolved.

The customer service at this location is horrible, especially from the employee with glasses who was working today. He was rude, dismissive, and gave me attitude when I was already dealing with an issue caused by THEIR car wash. I came here expecting a quick wash, but the wash had an emergency stop while my car was already completely drenched and covered in soap. This is now the THIRD time I've experienced an issue like this at this location. What really pushed me over the edge was the employee having the audacity to tell me to just go to another location while my car was STILL COVERED IN SOAP. He suggested the Anaheim location as if it were right down the street. Why should I have to drive to an entirely different location with soap all over my car because your equipment stopped working? I was so frustrated that I asked him to cancel my membership, and instead of helping me, he basically told me I had to go elsewhere to do that too. No effort to resolve the situation, no apology, and no consideration for the inconvenience whatsoever. I've paid for this membership for over a year, and having repeated equipment problems is frustrating enough. Being met with attitude and terrible customer service on top of it is unacceptable. After three separate incidents, I'm done giving this location chances and will be taking my business elsewhere.
