Great fast service had zero problems. They were so attentive and helped me get in and out really quickly.

There is absolutely no reason why I should have to point out that no one vacuumed the back seat and crumbs, large floral crumbs were left behind... Which caused me to speak to the manager, and my car to go to a secondary cleaning station with vacuum. But, it doesn't stop there... I had to show my receipt to the guy cleaning the car when I asked for the Armor All I had paid extra for. Save your $34.99... I should of put it together when a sunny day has no cars, and the gift shop looks worse than a bad garage sale read more

Bluewave Car Wash - The manager, or guy writing tickets sits in this gray car - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Was my second try few months ago I tried it again and was terrible now I decided to stop again today cause of where I needed to be and didn't want drive far, my car is electric and they said no machine wash only hand wash so after I paid $55 for the wash minus the tip the car was still dirty from outside and same inside Neither they washed it or vacuumed it good It's just insane how they are still in business lol read more

If I could give this place minus 20 stars, I would. I kept coming back only because it's in my neighborhood and convenient on my way home from work, but never again. I will not spend another dollar here. The quality of the car wash is absolutely horrible. They basically wash your car halfway and call it done. The workers who are supposed to wipe everything down barely do the minimum. My car was left covered in spots and dirt after the wash. The last time, I actually called one of the guys back to clean the spots that were still all over my car after the rain. Instead of simply cleaning them properly, he told me that if he put more pressure with the cloth, my car could get scratched. Seriously? Then what exactly am I paying for? This is not one bad experience. I gave this place chance after chance because of the convenient location, and the service has consistently been terrible. Please read the reviews before spending your money here. There is a reason so many people are complaining. Customers should not have to pay for a service that is barely being performed. Whoever owns or manages this place seriously needs to read the reviews and fix what is going on. At this point, the level of service is unacceptable, and I honestly do not understand how a business can continue operating this way. Never again. read more

Horrible. They scam you with increased "tesla" price and NO INTERIOR CLEAN listed anywhere. Car is still a mess and DEFINITELY NOT WORTH $. I feel bad for the employees. Also, they talk bad about you in espanol. read more

You love your ride and want it taken care of? Then look no further. Not sure why this place has such low review Ive been coming here for years and Jose and crew are hardworking awesome folks that care about what they do and it shows. Be sure to ask for Jose he will take care of you!!! He is amazing !!!! I've had everything from scuffs, scrapes and cosmetic scratches all taken care of by the master! Give them a try. Communicate what u want and they will find a way to get it done. I'll keep coming back again and again. read more

After paying $60 for a handwash and wax, I pointed out to the manager several obvious, large spots of bird droppings remaining on the front of the hood that had not been cleaned at all. At first, they told me that it was impossible to clean bird droppings off of the paint. I asked them to show me that it did not disappear when wiped with a wet cloth. In fact, after one of the men did so right in front of us, they did disappear with simply wiping it away. I asked them to take care of these spots and the manager got in my face and yelled at me that I had not paid enough for that service, and then stormed away. Instead of offering to rectify the problem or to just admitting a mistake, they decided first to (1) say it was impossible to fix, (2) said I didn't pay enough to fix it, (3) then proceeded to shout at me and refuse to help at all. read more

This is worse car wash I ever been in my life they don't do a good job at all and when you complain they come up with the worst excuses

Zero stars, really. Can't quite believe this car wash could get worse but somehow it has managed. Now, as it turns out, the coupon that still costs $23 for a basic wash doesn't include cleaning the interior - just a quick swipe of a rag across the dash and running the vacuum over the two front seats. In other words: no effort at all. My car was exactly as dusty / crumby on the inside when they handed me my keys as when it went in. I found the manager, the worker was super apologetic ("This is all they allow now.) I sent it back. It came back to me (very slightly) marginally better. Of course that didn't mean the windows were fully dry or that it was remotely close to a decent job insider or out. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me again and again, shame on me. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS! read more

I spent $34.95 for a car wash and there were still small bird droppings in many places around the car and the windshield and sunroof was not even clean When I complained, I was told that I needed to pay for a hand wash if I wanted to get small spots like that out. Not going back read more

This was the worst car wash I've ever gotten. I really wish I would've checked before I left. When I got home, I found dirt inside the car, water and dirt stains on the outside, leaves still in the windshield and in the trunk. Also, when the person called me over to get my car, he asked me if I wanted to give him $20 in cash to clean the inside of my front lights. read more

Really bad, unfortunately! I didn't want to leave a bad review because people who work there are nice but they don't do a good job... It doesn't matter how many times you ask them to clean the car well this time and not forget vacuuming or cleaning some spots, they still don't care and don't try. If there was another car wash in the area, nobody would go this one... read more

The worst. I went to a different car wash and it was a long line at 8 am. This place was empty and a reason for it I got a detail and they missed so many spots DONE!!! read more

I and the most amazing experience with Miguel who took care of me here. I haven't been for many years and their other location closer to my home had shut down which made me sad! I used to love watching my car get washed as I would look around the gift store. Many thanks to Miguel who went back and vacuumed my car again to make sure it was clean. I appreciated that so much! I used one of the coupons that was mailed to me in bulk and they're always sending out coupons on those Ralph receipts so keep an eye out if you need your car washed. So great value for a clean car! read more

Bluewave Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Warning: Scam Operation - Avoid at All Costs Both my wife and I went through the exact same nightmare here, which proves this isn't a one-off mistake -- it's their business model. We paid for a car cleaning, waited nearly an hour, and they handed the car back still dirty, covered in stains (see my video). When I pointed this out, they didn't take responsibility. Instead, they gaslit me, blamed me for the condition of my own car, and then tried to squeeze an extra $180 out of me. This is classic bait-and-switch behavior. These people are not just unprofessional -- they're predators who prey on customers and try to scam them out of more money. If you value your time, money, and sanity, stay far away. read more

I've come here twice now, and both times have been disappointing. I only came back the second time because there was no line, but after that experience, I won't be returning again. Honestly, it makes sense why there's never a wait. My car was barely cleaned. There was still dirt on it, the vacuuming was rushed and incomplete, and it wasn't even properly dried. It didn't look much better than when I pulled in. What made it more frustrating was seeing how many employees were there, but the place still felt completely disorganized. At multiple points, I noticed workers off to the side on smoke breaks instead of actually working, which probably explains the poor quality of service. Then there's the pricing. The guy basically seemed to make up a number at the end. When I questioned it, he said they added a "shine," which from what I could tell was just a quick wipe with a rag. Definitely not something that justified the extra charge. Overall, the whole experience felt sloppy and overpriced. I'd recommend double checking what you're being charged for and looking over your car before you leave, because chances are it won't be done right. read more

They overcharge $50-$79. If you have a Tesla they say they have to hand wash it. Such a rip off no one else does that it's insane.

I'm not sure why the reviews here are not so good because I had a great experience! I have a Mazda CX5 and went camping so it was a mess and I just wanted to have someone else clean it. They immediately took my car and it took probably 30-40 minutes in total. Cute shop inside and the lady at the register was really sweet. I paid $59 for vacuum and interior / exterior wash. Highly recommend!! read more

They put a giant scratch on the back of my car. This place is complete utter garbage.

Don't come here. See photos of My car after a $49 hand wash. Ridiculous. I also had a huge stain on my carpet that I had to clean on my own - it was super easy to get out just by taking a wet towel to it - but the guys told me I needed to have paid for a shampoo. Ridiculous read more

The workers do a great job. This is more for the owner. He should consider giving more than five dollars cash back for tips because if the client wants to tip more than five dollars which these guys are hard workers and deserve more, but the owner refused to give more back I think that's selfish and he should want his workers to get maximum tips. They deserve. read more

The reviews here speak for themselves. While it's in a great location and it's tempting to go don't waste your time. Very overpriced for a half ass job. read more

Wasn't greeted very friendly. I did get a basic wash, vacuum, and wiped down inside. Besides being slightly cleaned, the care basically looked the same as when coming in. I gave a pretty good tip. But I will not go back to this car wash again. waste of $40.00 read more

I had a membership with them. It's not working and after I canceled the membership I just realize after four months they still charging me and I contact with the customer support. There's anyone to help you. I don't recommend this business at all. read more

The woman at the register is rude with horrible attitude, I said hollo, no answer, fine, I also said I needed a few dollars for tips for the workers, no response, so I said one more time, I thought she didn't hear, but she said I heard you ..... angrily. LA doesn't need this type of people, ICE better check if she doesn't belong here, America doesn't need this kind of negative energy. The car wash part is always fine, we have been coming for a few years. read more

They broke the plastic piece on one of my mirrors and they found it in the car washing berth. manager said I must have got into an accident and that's why it fell off. unbelievable. I happened to be working with adjusting my seat covers which is how I caught it. otherwise I would have just driven away. the trunk was filthy even though I requested it to be vacuumed. they redid fir me but the guy was looking for another tip to do it. please don't encourage this place by having your car washed. Horrible service read more

I returned for another car detail yesterday and was not disappointed! Jose welcomed me warmly and the guys did an incredible job with my car. A friend used some rubbing compound to try and take some scratches out of my paint, and inadvertently left some scuffing. The team at Blue Wave was able to remove it all! I don't understand all the negative reviews. They do a great job here. I'm definitely a happy customer! read more

Paid $26 for a basic car wash. Waited over 30 minutes even though it wasn't very busy. I saw the guy cleaning my car, then he disappeared and it wasn't until 10 minutes that he sent someone else to finish up my car. My car still had spots all over and when I told the guy he didn't care. The inside was only vacuumed, with still so many spots missed with lots of dust inside. They didn't even put effort into wiping the screen or seats or wheel. If I'm paying almost $30 and tipping on top of that, and waiting over 30 minutes, I expect the car to be clean. Safe to say I won't be going here again. I've gone to the self-operated car washes for a third of the price and leave with a cleaner and more professional experience. read more

Paid $50 for interior and exterior. Outside of the car looks fine, nothing special, but they barely cleaned the interior!! Not the gearshift, not the doors, didn't even take 2 minutes to wipe down the seats!! Looks like they washed the outside and vacuumed the floor and that's about it...not worth it read more

My car was gross and they did a great job. I asked them to go back in a clean a few more things and they did so I was very happy PLUS I love the book store ! Its amazing!!!! read more

After we went for a pump next door, i decided to get a carwash, since it was convenient, and we had less to do. Saw so many bad reviews on Bluewave. Our service was good, yeah these guys try and actually bump up your price for getting your carwash. Just a bit overpriced for my taste. Because i usually wash my own cars, but sometimes i will go to my local guys to get a good wash going. They charge reasonable prices. But, they were kind to us. Didnt hurt my wallet after pumping gas next door. read more

Great drive through car wash, one of the best I've tried. The employees are friendly and the self-vacuums are powerful.

One of the worst car washes ever. Trash still left under the seats. Spilled coffee in the cup Holder not cleaned & extremely expensive. Major price jump. read more

I drive an EV and apparently they charge $50 minimum for EVs. Despite paying $50 for a car wash, the car was still covered in water marks and the door that had a bird poop on it still had stains left. Then when I asked them if they could just spray and wipe the bird poop stain they asked me for a tip. I told them that I didn't have any cash on me and that I already paid $50 at the register, to which then the worker proceeded to tell me to go inside to grab cash to give him tip. He continuously told me to go inside and when I refused for the third time, he finally gave me my keys and waved me off. I'm not sure what kind of business they are running here but it's certainly not one that constitutes a $50 wash nor the poor attitude. I am never returning here. read more

Unfortunately this place is closest to me and I have no choice but to sometimes take my car to them. It's always disappointing though. After I got my car back and started driving, I noticed that fingerprints and dust was still left behind in my car. And I was generous with my tip :-( read more

Terrible car wash. They did not clean my car.. terrible customer service. I've asked multiple times to do things right and I have to wipe down and clean my own car after I paid to get it washed. This is the most awful service I've experienced. They should shut down because they're so bad and unprofessional. read more

This place kept trying to push their hand wash for $59 on me. When I said, I just want a regular car wash, they ignored me and no one even came over to vacuum the interior. I backed up, no one was behind me since this place is like totally dead now, and went to a different car wash. I ended up spending more money, but I'd rather give it to someone other than these jerks. read more

You know how it looks when it's lightly rained on your dusty car? That is the end result you will get at this carwash. No matter which wash you select, they will do the absolute, bare minimum. If you want them to "clean the inside," it'll be $10 extra. And by "clean the inside," they mean, barely wipe the dashboard. Any mention of exterior dressing refers to the tires only, which they forgot to do on this visit. I can be quite accepting of people doing half-a** work because ultimately, there are worse battles to confront but this whole experience was ridiculous. I returned the same day after having paid $55 on the first visit, only to have them do even less than when I was there in the morning. By the way, when I went back, there was a customer at the register, speaking about their experience which was identical to mine. All the negative and crappy experiences described by fellow Yelpers are true. Do NOT go here. read more
