From the point you check in - to the point you drive away, the staff are just really nice,…read morecourteous, friendly and they understand if you say "oh I don't want a scented spray" or you want the floor mat cleaned or things like that ...they are so sweet!! The car wash experience itself is quick and fast and it's thorough. Once they dry it, it's fantastic. They pay attention to all the little details. When you tell them about a missed spot, they actually fix it. They even help me cut up an old seat cover; they're nice people. It's worth the price better than another car wash in San Mateo.

I came here at around 4:30 PM to fill up and get a car wash. I looked at the sign which indicated…read morethat the car wash closes at 6 PM. 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.

The sun finally came out do o returned to Autopride for a Carwash…read more They did a nice job of handwashing my car, vacuuming the inside and wiping it down. I watched as the did a thorough wipe down following the wash, opening the tailgate and wiping all around the opening and inside of the windows. Wash is priced at $35 and they do a nice job. I videoed the handwashing which took under 3 minutes Thank you Kieran and crew !

I was a loyal customer here for over 10 years, but my recent experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. After being in a car accident, I called to ask if my membership could be placed on hold while my car was in the shop. Instead, the employee canceled my account without my permission. When I explained I never asked for a cancellation, I was told I would have to rejoin at a higher price. To make matters worse, my husband later went in unaware of the issue and was charged twice. I was told someone would follow up with me, but no one ever did, and the company never corrected the mistake. After a decade of loyalty, I expected much better customer service. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to fix the problem, and it left a very bad impression.

Fair price and quick service. I got both interior and exterior cleaned. After the initial exterior…read moreclean from the drive thru, my window was still dirty. But after the manual cleaning for the interior plus exterior, the windows are cleaned. So I'm not sure if they just leave your windows unclean if you only get the exterior wash.

I don't write reviews often, but this one is absolutely deserved…read more I just got my SUV detailed here, and I am honestly blown away by the results. The team went above and beyond what I was expecting. They conditioned all of the leather, steamed and cleaned every single floor mat, and somehow managed to make every inch of the interior look brand new again. The attention to detail was incredible. They cleaned areas I didn't even think about, and when I got in my car afterward, it felt like I was sitting in a completely different vehicle. Everything looked spotless, smelled fresh, and had that "new car" feeling all over again. What impressed me most was how much care they clearly put into their work. This wasn't just a quick wash and vacuum--they treated my car like it was their own. You can tell they genuinely take pride in what they do. I'm beyond happy with the results and couldn't stop smiling on the drive home. If you're looking for a shop that truly cares about quality and delivers amazing results, look no further. I've been going to San Mateo Car Wash for YEARS and had to post a review!!! They're just THAT good!!! Thank you guys for taking such great care of my car! :)

I guess you get what you pay for. A legit full detail carwash can run you hundreds of dollars. Here…read moreit's $80. My coworker needed his van detailed for the work he does and they missed a bunch of spots. They half heartedly dried the windows. Didn't really vacuum and their detail work was done so quickly that by the time we went to the vending machine they called us back. If they continue to do this it's cheaper to wash your own car, then spray and dry your own windows and lightly vacuum your car for $20.

As an active parent, my car has seen its share of animal farm dirt and remanence of beaches and fruit farms. It suffers from minor scratches and scuff marks on the outside that you would expect from kids parked next to us and moms carrying bulky items. All of that buffed out and did not try to up sell me! I highly recommend this place. The price is right and it is obvious that the owner is proud of his work when he shows me my car. P.S. I used to detail my own car, I understand and appreciate the hard work in it.

Title: Beware of deceptive upselling and aggressive behavior…read more I am writing this review to warn others about the deceptive practices at this car wash. My experience was extremely unprofessional and bordered on a scam. While my car's interior was being cleaned, I was asked if I wanted the mats washed. I clearly said "no". A few minutes later, I was called over, shown the mats, and asked again. I said "no" again. The employee was very insistent, claiming they needed to be washed to get them clean. I explicitly told her that "I did not want to be sold anything extra", but if they wanted to wash them, they could. They went ahead and washed them, but just as I was about to leave, they demanded payment for the mats. When I refused, they lied and claimed I had requested the service. I was never quoted a price, and I had clearly declined twice. It wasn't until I threatened to call the police that they grudgingly backed off and dropped the charge. To make matters worse, I witnessed the same employee aggressively yanking on the handle of an automatic sliding door multiple times, which speaks to the lack of care and professionalism here. Be very careful if you come here--verify prices and stand your ground.

They pre-hose your car and do a quick brush before your car goes through the cleaning cycle. That is needed because the dirt won't necessarily come off if they didn't do that. At the end they hand wipe the entire car with cloth to dry all the windows and the entire car. The entire process took about 5-7 minutes. There was only one car ahead of us so we didn't have to wait. If you need a quick & basic car wash - this is a good deal.

You clearly can tell a brush did this damage. Horrible customer service. Sad that you had to write this response as I have two other people from Nextdoor indicating they had their roof or window scratched.

By a dollar or more every time. And they only apologize for thier mistake once. Otherwise all you will get is bad attitude as if you're wrong for calling them up on thier error. Wow. I gave 1 star for the location obviously. Other than that everything about this station sucks. Including the space because it's so small sometimes if it's crowded you'll have to make a 3 pt turn. Maybe 4 or 5. Augh. Btw... They always have that "Now Hiring" sign up. It seems to be a permanant fixture.
