    Ducky's gets the car washed but not the best of jobs. For $49.99 you expect a clean interior and spotless exterior. That's the problem with the machine car washes, they miss many spots. The cupholder was still dirty and looked like wasn't even wiped at all! Dashboard still had some dirt. After coming out of the wash. You have to wait in line and park the car to dry but they take so long to get to your car that the car is dry already haha. What's the point of getting it hand dry when you wait long enough for someone to come over. Last time, coming to any Ducky's.

    Window smears

    The people are awesome- kind, hard working & caring! But the quality for the price has been poor for awhile now. Dirt not removed from many surfaces outside & inside. Windows still smeared. Very disappointing even after trying to point it out.

    Swirl marks on both sides of the vehicle!

    Swirl marks throughout the paint job of my brand new vehicle. Look at the posted picture at the point of reflection of the sun, and those swirl marks run completely down both sides nose to tail. They use old school mechanized car wash conveyor systems (the vehicle is pulled through a fixed array of brushes, high‑pressure nozzles, and dryers). A detailer will be able to polish this out. But at a considerable expense to me. They did a nice job of manually wiping down and cleaning the interior for $40. First time and THE LAST time. If you value your Paint job, find a hand wash!

    Headlights prior to being cleaned

    I believe I've written a review for this Ducky's Car Wash in San Carlos before but I had to do it again. Phenomenal, friendly and completely professional. The manager, Mayra, is a wonderful lady. The entire crew put in tons of effort (and it's NOT easy) into their cars. If they notice any damage prior to washing, the crew will point it out. I purchased a 15 washes pass and I use it when I need to. Love that it never expires. Expensive at first, but it well pays off. People can't believe that my car is 7 years old especially since it's always parked outside. Last weekend when I went to get a wash (Lucky Duck) a gentleman asked if I'd like to get the headlights cleaned up. For $35 I got my headlights cleaned and I can honestly say that they're 80 percent better than when they started. The crew spent 30-40 minutes working on them. So very impressed with Ducky's in San Carlos. Keep up the great work!

    Shady! Watch your belongings! Our Fastrak Flex gadget was opened and the inside black chip was hanging out when we got our car back.

    Watch your belongings! Fraudsters/thieves here. When we got our car back, we noticed our Fastrak Flex was opened. At first, we thought it was accidentally knocked to the ground when they weee cleaning. However, this was inside our cup holder AND, for anyone who's tried to open it, you'll see that it's really hard to do so, so this was no accident. Not only was the cover off, but the inside black part/chip was hanging out. We didn't notice the cover was gone at first. When we went back to show the manager, he asked for the pieces, went to talk to the worker, and all of the sudden it was magically put back together! We called Fastrak and asked for a new one. But beware to all who go here!

They did not do a great job -- if I needed a higher level detail, they should have told me from the beginning. The exterior wasn't great either. I asked about some stuff left on the car and they hurriedly said "sticky, $20 more" and immediately walked away. If I had needed a higher level package, I would have been happy to pay it if the guy hadn't just rudely walked away. The experience felt quite unprofessional. Now I am getting my carwash supplies ready to finish the job myself :(. Not ideal.

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.

I get home and noticed there was a good amount missed on the front bumper and left and right lights. Also on the inside the dressing used seemed like was done in a rush. The back seats weren't wiped down. There was still spots of crumbs and marks from my kids that could be easily wiped off. There was spot where they treated and spots you can tell that was missing. The back trunk rubber trunk mat wasn't taken out and cleaned. $200 was a mistake to spend here.

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.

Almost perfect, but one star off for the inconvenience of assembling cash/quarters. I go straight down the list (pre-soak, wash, foam brush, rinse, conditioner, spot-free rinse). Everything comes out of the metal nozzle hose except the foam, which comes out of the brush on the opposite wall. Pre-soak and spot-free rinse are low-pressure. I let the timer run out after soaping up with the foam brush, then take my time giving it a thorough scrub before re-starting the timer. I let it air dry as I drive home; the spot-free rinse lives up to its name! It helps to have a friend in charge of putting in coins and changing wash modes. I have not tried the vacuums. Overall, I get a great wash for about $8 (compact car). $3 minimum to get it going and that gets you 4min (20sec per quarter).

My family was waiting to head out when I got home, I opened the hatch of the car and the back wasn't vacuum at all and the rear seats weren't wiped down.

When you pay $32 for a car wash thats unacceptable, and this wasn't a big SUV it was a Prius. Looks like I'll have to go to PDQ? You should really do better.
