    I love this place and been coming here for years. Today unfortunately, I touched the screen not knowing that I pushed Fire wax wash book ACCIDENTALLY .Supposedly Fire wax wash book means you prepay for many car washes. Today I was charged for book $130 plus a wash for today at $26. I left spending $156 that I was not planning to use for car washes. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PUSHING THE SCREEN CHOICES. I assumed when I pushed back, that would clear it, it did not...just added another wash. Also they will not REFUND your money.

    Killer clown & the Hulk are just two of many characters here to greet you while you get your car washed.

    Came through real quick to get some bird crap off the rooftop and back portion of the vehicle. Not sure if the metallic pink attracts these birds, but they seem to take a particular glee when dive bombing me with their special "treats". In any case, this is a solid option in terms of a no frills car wash. My previous review had four stars, and I only took one away due to a vacuum option. All of them seem to be in good order this time around, and I was in and out in a jiffy, and also noticed some new characters, particularly the LA dodgers..

    This is AFTER a wash!!!  Don't waste your money unless you need a bad car wash fast.

    Andrea, this was 100% after the car wash. It's from the second vacuum spot on the right after exiting the 200 feet of wash space. The reflection of the building off my hood proves exactly where my car is. Plus you can see the Honda in your "detail bay" in the other picture. Your facility is well monitored so you will see me taking the pictures on your video. Did I get the cheapest wash, yes. Are these the results, also yes. I'm happy to support small businesses, hence why I stopped by your spot, but bad results are bad results. I wanted a quick wash. You delivered on quick. Could I have complained on the spot and waited in line for another wash, yes. But y'all were busy and getting in the first time took 10-15 minutes (quick) and would have taken another 10-15 minutes (not quick). I have no reason to lie about any of this. I remember a time when I y'all's facility was a great quick wash. Your dryers were so good, I rarely needed to use a towel to dry my car. Simple pull out and go. So I know y'all can do better than what I got.

The exterior (as seen) is well below par for $60. Everyone there seems to be in a hurry to finish your car with no attention to detail.

His interior detail was most excellent, he made my cars look new inside - I'm not sure how he was able to clean the perforated leather seats so well! Great work dude! On the exterior, I watched Borys use a bucket of water with something like Optimum No Rinse. He then used claybar to remove surface imperfections, and finished up with a polish and sealant job using a polishing machine. I don't remember the exact products used, but he spent quite a while and quite a few different pads on the process, so it was very well done. Now, I hired Borys to detail my Jeep first. After he left I took a good look at it: The interior was perfect! On the outside, Borys used some kinda black plastic restoration product that made the cowl piece (black plastic by the windshield wipers) look unbelievably new. The paint surfaces overall were very good, there were some surface imperfections he couldn't get out, but I believe you'd need a far more expensive "paint correction" for that. I was so impressed I asked him for an appointment to come back and detail our other cars, one just 6 months old and one about 7 years old. To be honest, I was most impressed with Borys' work on our 7 year old Cadillac. Look at it! It doesn't look that does it. AWESOME work! Everything looks better than I'd expect to see in a showroom lol. So yeah, easily 10/10. I will definitely hire him again. I'll be telling all my friends too!

It's not yet updated here on Yelp, but the hours are from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm and the place is called "Squeak's Car Wash." I came in the morning and it felt safe, located near downtown El Segundo. Being able to use credit card for the wash is a huge plus. Make sure to read the instructions because there's a way to stop the charging if you finish early by pressing the button down for two seconds. I ended up spending only $8 for my wash and the machine told me so in the end. I was very impressed with the amount of soap and clear coat wax that came out of the spray. They are generous with the products here, which is why I will probably keep coming back here to give my car a wash. Also, if you don't know yet, make sure you use the spot free rinse in the end. I always do this with other self service car washes and I can drive off without drying my car and I won't get water spots. I experimented not doing it once to see if there was a difference, and my car ended up with nasty water spots. The vacuum cleaners are unfortunately not able to be used with a credit card so make sure to have cash on hand. There's an exchange machine to get the dollar coins required for the vacuum cleaners. All in all, this place is a great find for our car washing needs. Thank you!!
