I wish I could give ZERO STARS! This place is a SCAM! AVOID this place at all costs. Just a quick look at the property and it already looks condemned. Unfortunately they are the closest car wash to my house and my old Lexus was in dire need of some detailing. I paid $180 for an exterior detail to which the service attendant said that he could make my car look "50% better." I dropped the car off at 10 am and was told that it would take 3 hours. By 2:30 pm, I still had not received a call so I called them and asked when my car would be ready. The person who picked up was very hard to understand and just handed the phone to someone else who spoke better English. I was told "45 more minutes". When I arrived my car was sitting in a line of other cars that looked to be done. The exterior actually looks regular, with no noticeable changes to the paints presentation- I doubt they even buffed and polished the car. I know what my car looks like when it's clean since I do it myself 99% of the time. Inside, the vacuum job was terrible and the driver floor mat still had a lot of visible dust. No air freshener was used whatsoever. As terrible as this is, the worst was still yet to come. When I got in the car and turned it on, it made a HARD CLANKING noise at the turn of the ignition. I thought it was something else, another car on the property, since my car is in perfect mechanical shape, and ALWAYS super quiet. I went to the store to pick up a few things before heading home. When I got back in the car and started it again, the hard clanking sound happened again! I called my mechanic right away as I didn't want to risk taking the car home and have it not start later. I dropped my car off to my mechanic (on a Saturday, about 4 pm) they were already closed but lucky for me my mechanic sent one of his employees to go back to the shop and open up to receive my car. Btw shoutout to DV SMOGPROS in Walnut- these guys are honest and their reviews speak for themselves. I'm writing this on the uber home. What a DISASTER. I will be following this post up after I get a report from the mechanic. DO NOT GO TO THIS CAR WASH AT ALL. Drive somewhere else, pay one of those guys that go to your house. Go to the drive thru car washes. Heck, wash it yourself if you have to on your driveway, just DONT GO HERE. These people are a SCAM and need to be shut down IMMEDIATELY! read more

It has been a very, very long time since my last visit here but I was in a binds and they were the closest option near me. Unfortunately I will not be returning. The best package has a bunch of things listed that I'm sure they didn't even use, including an air freshener scent. That package is supposed to be $39.99, and then a few bucks extra was added on the sheet. I inquired about the price change and it was explained that my car was larger than a sedan, thus the extra fee. So, $42.99 plus a good tip for a Jon that is not so thorough. The first guy did the vacuuming and absolutely didn't touch many sections of my floor, back seat, the sides of the driver and passenger seats, my trunk space/tailgate, and the center console. I know this because I had grass seeds spill out of a package that remained upon closer inspection. The guy that dried my car on the outside attempted to wipe away some of the seeds in the tailgate space but only wiped half of the tray. So much water moved around my car when I drove away AND my wipers were left on so water streaks immediately showed on my windshield before fully leaving the parking lot. This guy also missed the little debris in the center console. Overlay, I'd avoid this place if you want the services listed and a job that isn't halfway done. There are other places to choose from. read more

Came here again today, just to see if anything was better. It wasn't, and for the price, you'd think it should be. I'm to the point of paying a few dollars more for a service that will actually come and clean your car versus using a brick and mortar car service. They looked at the inside and brushed around, but didn't actually clean anything. I could tell from sitting afar what they did and actually didn't do (the inside of the doors for starters were a disaster and it kept getting worse). The vacuum job was bad, probably because they vacuum in an unlit bay and can't see what they are doing. When you get in the sunlight, you see everything clearly, like pimples on a 14 year old. I requested new car smell, but I only smell Amorall. I've tried this place a few times, but, alas, won't be back. read more

Citrus Car Wash - $40 for a less than mediocre wash?! - Car Wash Near Me - Covina, California

So sad what has happened to Citrus Carwash, probably not safe for your car either, they barely apply soap, the machinery stops working as your car rolls thru, might not be a problem but doesn't seem safe for the cars. The Tuesday special is low cost but it's not worth the savings. The premises are dilapidated, they used to have nice gardens and greenery, now it's all weeds and dead brush and the people taking your money act like they are doing you a favor, miss the good old days... I thought I would give them another shot after years of staying away, should have gone to a drive through instead, same quality for less money and bad attitude. read more

You pay for a car wash and then the machines are down and then the car comes out and it's drying by the sun they don't have enough workers to dry the cars. You're paying $40 for a car wash go elsewhere please. The manager said that they're waiting for part from China to fix the machine. I think that should be posted before you come in. read more

I came to get a car wash on the 4th of July. The employees themselves were fantastic and did a wonderful job. My car was filth, had a thick layer of dust, and I work construction so the dirt gets everywhere. The employees did a good job, and left my truck very well cleaned.The pricing was reasonable as well. However, the owner or manager I found to be rude, very abrasive and had poor customer service. read more

If I could leave Zero stars I would. Paid $40 for my car to go through a wash that half the rollers don't work or even touch car. The Basics of vacuuming and windows being cleaned weren't even done, right. Had to ask for windows to be re wiped and even had to ask for them to put in air freshener when it comes with the wash. Even on a weekday when the place is not even busy . Do not Waste your money supporting this business. read more

They did a nice job! Price was high $29.99 but worth it for me cuz car needed a bath!! read more

They did a great job on my car. Way better than the auto-car washes. It's nice to have my car cleaned inside and out.

NEVER AGAIN! $50 for a wash and it's not clean. The formats still have debris on it and the passenger side never even got wiped down. Don't get me started on the wheel wells... read more

Citrus Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Covina, California

I hate to write a negative review, but this is necessary. My family has been going to Citrus car wash for years, but recently I haven't been very pleased with my visits. Some of the employees haven't been too friendly, I pay for a scent but it doesn't get added or it just takes too long. However, what I witnessed today is the reason I will not be returning. While waiting for my car I heard some of the employees and customers shouting and gasping. I looked up and saw that a car almost went directly onto the street! I noticed prior that they really wait until last minute to pick up the car from the washing tunnel. I actually thought my car was going to hit the car in front of it as no one had come to get it. Luckily my car was fine, but the fact that my concern was confirmed! No thank you. I was so shocked that the owner of the car was actually laughing and being nonchalant about it. I didn't see a manager or anyone come and address the incident. I will be taking my car though washes at a gas station instead. read more

Citrus Car Wash - Car almost went into street! - Car Wash Near Me - Covina, California

I have been using this carwash for a very long time. I came in today & expressed how since January they have been missing some spots. The manager told me he was busy & to expect it to be about an 1.5 hours (I arrived at 1:53pm, I said okay. I walked nextdoor got a manicure and walked back. They hadn't started my truck yet. I waited 20 minutes & still nothing, I spoke to the manager again & said you told me 1.5 hours he said 30 more minutes at this time it was 3:02pm! By this time I'm fuming!! I grabbed my keys from my rear tire & drove up telling him he lost a good customer & drove away with an incomplete Luxury carwash. I highly recommend to find another full service carwash! read more

The location needs a remodel urgently because the tiles are missing all along the bottom of the wall. It also needs to be painted there's a ton of graffiti everywhere. The guys who washed my car did an amazing job on the inside & outside. Let me tell you $25 dollars for a hand car wash is recommended and only available on Tuesdays and Wednesday. read more

I will let the video speaks for itself. Highly recommend Clay Wax. Is a lot of work but at all times I saw them put time effort and lots of care leaving a polish new look. Very friendly staff read more

They did the bare minimum cleaning my car, after paying $35 plus tip my car was still dirty. After they cleaned my car I couldn't leave because I was boxed in while there where drying another car read more

I took my truck into get washed. They charge extra because of it being bigger. Ok, but they left my bed a mess. Why do they charge more if they aren't going to do more. I had to go home and clean it out myself. I would have taken it back but it was late and I needed to get going. read more

Citrus Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Covina, California

It's so hard to find a good car wash... This isn't it. We paid extra for a hand car wash, a week ago... And we just didn't check it closely enough. After getting home we realized how dirty it still was, it looked like they had used dirty rags to wipe down everything. After paying for it to be washed, I had to hand wipe down all surfaces again We called to complain and spoke with Marcos, he was fine, he told us to bring it back and to talk to Steve when we return. Well let me tell you ... Steve is the rudest manager I've ever met. After we thought everything was squared away we started walking away to wait, and Steve called after us and started questioning us very aggressively, asking us to pay before we leave, so we had to explain again to him that this was a redo. He accused us of having dogs in the car and that's why it wasn't clean! Yes we have dogs, no we didn't bring them. The car wasn't dirty from hair, they're non shedding. We were offended by the attempted blame. He said he'd threatened to check the cameras. We said do it Once the car was washed again ... You know what? It still wasn't particularly clean. So that's that, this place just doesn't do a good job cleaning. And when I confronted Steve again and said "are we good?", he shrugged. I asked if he had checked the cameras, and he said no, I believe you. OK buddy, you didn't act like we were believe at first. We brought the car back to them to give a chance for them to fix their service, it was still bad, and even worse the managers involvement and questioning just made us mad all over again. In no way surprised this place has such poor reviews. read more

This car wash is so run down and dirty. It's a shadow of what it once was. But it costs what a car wash at a nice place would cost. I doubt I will go back. read more

Gave this place another chance and sad to say they are not good! My car was not vacuum properly and overall a hot mess! a waste of time and money! read more

I ordered a luxury wash today. The first things is the staff vacuum the car inside and also the hood and the trunk of the car. Most of the windows in the car wash for customers to view their car to be wash are dusty. The value of the car wash has increased since COVID and most of the time my car has benn wiped good. read more

I went to go wash my 2024 Honda Civic. I usually don't like to complain but this time I have to. I got the hand wax service. My car was run through the washing machine. Then it was brought out to where the employees dry and clean the car. My car was left for almost an hour unattended, when they finally got to my car the guy moved it to under a tent. I think because it was going to get hand waxed. I went to CVS and came back and after an hour and a half it was done. I asked an employee about my car. He directed me to the guy who serviced my car. I thanked him and went to leave. As soon as I got into my car I noticed that all my change that I leave in the little pocket on the door was gone. The car was not cleaned well. There was missed spots inside and out. I get if the car was not cleaned well but to take my change. Now that is just wrong! I didn't think these people would do this shit but I guess so.. I will never go back to this place. I usually go to a car wash place in La Puente but I guess I am going to have to take the extra drive. The kicker is that I gave the guy a Tip. Go figure... read more

Went in to get my car hand-washed. (just got the paint redone on my car. )The gentleman in the bay area who writes down your request said : " why do you want a hand wash? " I told him why ... he scoffed and said " You're wasting your money its the same thing to not hand wash it" So i told him you aren't washing it so why does it matter. Anyways got a refund and just left. Dont know why he was bothered by me wanting a service they provide . This was also after i moved my own vehicle to the handwashing bay for him . read more

I feel new owners are very cheap they want to keep overhead low so they don't have necessary tools to go a good job in their washes never going back read more

Very expensive which is ok but it takes way too long. Nobody here but it took 40 minutes before my car was through the wash. There was literally 1 car in front of mine for vacuum read more

They need to fix the machines. The finishers and dryer guys still work hard and do a good job. The mgr needs a class in public relations. Hopefully it will get back to what it was. read more

Im just flat irritated. I went to this establishment to wash my car. They charged me $35 today Wednesday for a basic wash. I figured okay thats the price, so i moved on. As im waiting for my car, I noticed the sign (on the photo) and kindly asked the manager of the deal and in his exact words he said "he doesn't have to tell anyone the price, it's right there" with an attitude and walked away. I proceeded to ask for the owner and spoke to him and informed him as to the managers rude response. Regardless if I saw the sign or not, the manager should have informed/recommended me of the deal. These are the types of businesses i refuse to support as they are flat greedy and will inform my community of it. I will never come to this place again. read more

I went here on 8/17/24. I paid the basic car wash @ 28.99. However the posted sign stated $26.99. Okay accept the incorrect pricing as I felt service would be good. I asked to have the car vacuumed completely. I patiently waited the 45 minutes. I was loading the suv hatchback & noticed it was not vacuumed!! Terrible service!!! Will was my own car from now on!! read more

I've been coming for more than 20 years, when it was a better place, just went last week & I am so dissatisfied, think it is under new management now, which is horrible not good service , not cleaning , not good customer service anymore , I paid $5.00 more for tires cleaning now, they did not vacuum well, they did not took the mats , I had to do it by myself I will not come back !!!! Before was way better....so sad Hope they can make improvements in order to keep in business Good luck read more

I went there today to get a car wash their prices are not transparent I did not know I would have to pay more for a larger vehicle but there's a handwritten sign on a nearby window. I paid $40 for a car wash and it was absolutely not worth $40. There was residue left on my seats and floor from not being fully vacuumed. The outside looks good but for $40 I expect a lot more than a drive-through car wash with a wipe down I could get that over on Chevron off citrus right down the street for 12 bucks read more

The quality of the service was excellent. The only downfall is that they had too many customers and there is a line. They need to work out a better system to be more efficient. read more

They literally just rinsed my car and wiped it. All of the dirt is still on my car, inside is still dusty. The best part? I noticed a dent/ scratch on my rear bumper that wasn't there before. I paid $50 including tip and my 7 year old can wash my car better. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Very rude manager by the name of Steve he has no business being a manager. Heads up if they brake anything on your vehicle they are gonna say it was already broken. It's exactly what happened to me. Defend yourself they will try and take you for a ride. Apparently the cameras they run are monitored in LA. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SPOT read more

Their 24.99 Tuesday Wednesday special is $30. I've been here before, but won't be back. When I pointed out several water spots from the time in the sun, they said my car was so dirty they had to run it twice. Yes, my car was dirty. It didn't come in with water spots. When I pointed out the brake dust on the rims, the manager told me it needed to be buffed out. When I wiped some off with my finger tip and showed him he became very angry and said "do you want it to go through again or not ". I had already been there for far longer than anticipated so I declined and won't be back. I went to a local park, pulled out a rag and finished what they should have. read more

Old and dirty this place had to rewatch my car a second time no bueno . They also had to do the inside better as well

I've been completely satisfied with this car wash. I'm just happy to find a full service car wash close to home, as so many have closed and become self service. read more

I hate to pile on, but after reading the other reviews, looks like I'm not the only one with a bad experience. Been coming here for years. Brought my wife's car for a quick Mother's Day surprise. When the car ran through, no soap, just water. I let the manager (I think, never seen him there before) know that the soap didn't spray on the car. He said I'll re run it. No problem I thought. I was pressed for time, but figured might as well do it right. After my car runs through the Manager looks dead at me and sarcastically says "did you see the soap come out this time"? Then follows that with "if you wanted your car washed twice just tell me". Controlling my anger, I just told him "I just want what I paid for." Needless to say, that is the last time Citrus Car Wash has seen me or my money. read more

My most recent experience at this location was extremely unprofessional. When I went to get into my car I noticed black stains next to the passenger side front window. I opened the door to see where the black stains had originated and saw that the insulation around the door was melted. Since this was not the case when I brought the car to be washed I immediately requested the manager come out to look at the car. He claimed that it must have already been melted when I brought the car in but could not explain how the stains were present on the outside of the car. He then claimed that perhaps the sun had melted it (the high that day was in the 70s). I told him that whoever had cleaned the inside of the car had obviously used a liquid that was not intended for the inside of a car and that had caused the damage. He promised to check with his "boss" and that he would get back to me within 24 hours. I never heard back. read more

This place is a rip off! Charged 5.00 more for tire dressing that came with the wash. Wednesday deal 24.99 wash and wax plus $2.00 more cuz i had a small SUV, no such thing! total 32.00 not worth it! read more

We got a car wash that took 1 hour and 30 minutes when we got in the car our car mount for our phone was sitting on the seat broken! It's like they broke it and threw it on the seat and didn't say anything. I've tried to call them and no answer. Terrible read more
