    Tried the Costco drive-thru car wash because it was cheap and convenient. It's very basic and does the bare minimum. While the price is hard to beat, my car didn't come out very clean. Good for a quick rinse if you're already there, but don't expect a thorough wash.

    Service still the best out of three so cal locations I e tried, but the drier hasn't been working as well as the first few times I've been here. Leaves the windshield and other parts of my truck very wet. I realize I could set off myself, but I just need it clean enough to get back on the road and fine with a few drops, but last two trips were annoying enough to notice. Still great for $7.99, but hope it's just a calibration issue and can get back to "good enough" and "dry enough" wash and dries so I can just be in and out like before.

    This is the second time within 2 days that the tire cleaner brushes not working . I told the guy collecting the receipts and he said that my tires weren't good aligned and the sensors don't catch them . On 2 different cars ? Imma take my third car tomorrow to see if he's right and check

    The $7.99 Costco Carwash

    I've used the Costco Carwash a few times, and I've noticed a clear difference depending on the time of day. During the night, the wash is noticeably faster compared to the morning. Tonight's wash was rushed, my car came out still wet, with soap residue all over, and the blowers didn't dry my car properly. It seems like they might be adjusting the timing during rush hour to get more cars through quickly, which affects the overall quality. If you're looking for a thorough wash, it's probably best to go during non-peak hours when they aren't rushing to keep up with demand.

    As far as drive-through car washes go I think this one is great. I like that there are two pay terminals to help keep the line going, on my visit in May 2022 they even had employees out there who were taping down your back wiper if needed.

    Great time saver get my Costco gas and then go and get your car wash. Starting off my day very productive. Getting things done

    5 rows of dryers

    Quick and reasonably priced. They have 5 rows of dryers that sufficiently dry your vehicle. Also includes tire shine. Sometimes the rinse doesn't completely get the tires and you're left with white stuff on the tires. 4 starts because there are no vacuums. Bring a towel to get the small areas that didn't get fully dry. For the price, it's a great value and does a very good wash.

    It's great to see a Costco Car Wash at this location. This is an exterior wash only, but we'll worth the price. It does a very good job.

    Totally unnecessary automated car wash. The only thing it's good for is creating a traffic jam on Imperial every day.

However, after that-No issues. Till today. I usually wear my seatbelt while going through (this is important to note) and wipe down my car. This time I didn't and didn't think anything. I was cleaning and the car kept going into Park. The older man at the entrance of the car wash was yelling at me to keep it in Neutral. I was telling him it was but that I think the machine is doing something g to put the car in Park. I got it heck into Neutral and he started it again. Same thing-Went not even a full tire rotation in the car wash and boom, Park. Now he throws down the water hose he had on his hand, slams on the emergency shut off and starts talking ish under his breath. I open my door and ask for someone (else) to help. Sorry sir, yo entiendo! Rude. I tell him again, I'm not doing anything. Another man comes (he's shorter and younger and always VERY nice when I'm here) and he tells me it's cause I opened the door. I said no. It did it before that and I wasn't going anything to the car. I said come inside with me. He said, don't worry. Then he said are you moving. I said, yes. I always do. Then he said your seatbelt! I said, what about it. He told me when you take it off and move, the car will do that. I said ohhhh. Thanks! They restarted and in fact, if you have your seatbelt on and move-No big deal. But take it off and-You can't move if your car will auto Park. That older man was plain ol rude and not cool. If I was a younger person, that would've made me freak out and possibly cry. Be better.

When I pointed out the banner at their shop that says "Free Brake Inspection" and their website which states Free Brake Inspection, he retorted that their website also states they do free smog checks, but he states they do not even do smog. (When relooking at their website, they do not mention free smog anyways.) Lorenzo stated the brake inspections were not free and the website got it wrong. When I asked him for the person in charge he stated Erika and Ezekiel were in the parts dept. It is a shame Lorenzo was the only advisor handling a long line at check in. He stated Corporate was aware of the brake inspection charge discrepancy. If they are aware and he is aware, why try to charge a customer for a "Free" brake inspection? After leaving our car here, we heard the next day of a list of repairs needed. Lorenzo stated they believed our brake caliper was seized but could not confirm it. He attempted to charge us an additional $289.47 for the brake caliper service and $152.10 for the brake fluid service in addition to the brakes and rotor replacement service charge we were expecting. The issue is that when we asked Lorenzo if he could confirm if the brake caliper was truly needed to be replaced, he could just say he highly suggests replacing it. From the beginning, this place was trying to scam. I reached out to Alex's Auto Repair in Cypress, who confirmed they could verify if the brake caliper would be needed. Alex's Auto Repair stated there would be no need to waste extra money if he could confirm the issue. Alex's Auto Repair serviced us, and simply lubricated our caliper without us needing to pay over $800 for the whole brake service like Downey Care Care was quoting us. Alex's Auto Repair took the time to verify the issue, charging us less than half of what Downey Care Care center wanted to charge. My issue with this location is they would have happily overcharged us for a service that was not needed. Take your car to Alex's Auto Repair, save your time and money. While Downey Care Care Center was busy playing around, we had to spend extra time and money booking a rental car. (Photo on the left is from Alex's Auto Repair who took the time to verify the concern and lubricate our caliper. The photo on the right includes one page of many pages of services recommended by Downey Care Center including replacing the brake caliper and fluid exchange had we chosen to go that route.) Makes me question if the remaining suggested repairs (not all pictured below) by Downey Care Care Center were even necessary.
