I used to go here all the time, then I switched to a car wash on Melrose, but after that one closed, I started going to this one again. When I got my bmw washed here, it was always like $40 or $50, but when I traded it in for my Lexus, for some reason, I keep getting charged like $150 here and I just don't understand why. It makes absolutely no sense. I think the guy just keeps upselling me. I saw a sign about a Passover special and went to go ask him about it. He said no one gets that it's just a regular wash and a vacuum. It's like $64.99. I'm pretty sure that's the one I used to always get (a wash and vacuuming), but he keeps pushing me into the $150 one. I don't care that the seats get conditioned. I don't care that the car gets waxed. I just want it washed and vacuumed. That's all I care about. They do a good job and the workmanship has been better than other places, so whatever, but I literally want the $64.99 one, not the $150 one. I can't afford to wash my car for $150 all the time. I don't have diamonds growing out of my skin that I can sell to people who are getting married. I can't afford these waxes and leather conditioning stuff. I just want my car washed and vacuumed. I might come back here if they stop upselling me on stuff I don't want because I like the work, but I also might go try to find somewhere that stops trying to upsell me on stuff I literally don't care about. I don't know. I'm just tired of being upsold. I want to stay in my budget and not have to figure out how to pick up a second job as a jigalo to pay for these crazy car wash costs. Please stop upselling me stuff I can't afford to pay $150 every time I come here, when I used to pay $40-$50!!! But to be clear, the work here has always been pretty high quality. Here's some pictures of their work and prices. read more

I keep giving this car wash another chance because it's close to my job, but I'm honestly done. For almost $40, I expect my car to actually be clean. There were still multiple dirt spots left all over, and the vacuuming was especially disappointing. It looked like no one even touched my carpet and the picture doesn't even show half of how bad it was. This is exactly how businesses lose loyal customers. People can overlook small things sometimes, but when the same things keep getting missed and the quality doesn't match the price, it gets old fast. If I'm paying nearly $40 for a car wash, I shouldn't have to go back & clean parts of my car myself. Super frustrating and definitely not worth the price. read more

This business takes no accountability for their actions. I brought my car in for a $140 "detail" and left on a tow truck. This visit ended up costing me nearly $1000 and the owner who has zero ethics won't even refund my car wash. Shame on them. See you in small claims court. read more

I always have a great experience when I bring my car here! Their prices are really reasonable and even when it's busy, it never takes more than 20-30 minutes for a full service exterior wash and interior clean. The workers are very detailed and careful when hand washing, making sure to leave everything looking sparkling. My vehicle always feels so clean when they're done with it and everyone is consistently extremely friendly and helpful. read more

Super easy: went mid-afternoon on a weekday and took advantage of their $13.99 hand wash special. I REALLY appreciate not having the staffer who took my "order" even attempt to upsell me. This is such an annoying move other car washes do to women but not here. I gave him my keys, went to the long line in the very well air conditioned lobby and paid for my service. I see so many service options listed behind the cashier - I wish they were on the website! At any rate, 95% of the customers were also women waiting for their service and there's plenty of benches outside to wait. My service took about 30 mins. I felt safe here and will definitely come again. Thanks for the great job! read more

visited this car wash and they SCRATCHED the rear bumper of my car during the wash. When I pointed it out immediately after, the staff and the owner claimed the damage was already there, which is simply not true. The shape and pattern of the scratches clearly indicate their damage, not something that could have happened randomly on the street. I also have photos of my car taken less than an hour before the wash, and the bumper was completely clean with no scratches at all. Instead of taking responsibility or even checking the evidence, the owner was rude and dismissive and completely ignored the situation. Very disappointing experience. No accountability, no professionalism. I would not recommend this place if you care about your car and don't wanna new scratches . read more

Imagine having to pay $170 for a "mini detail" only to have to spend an additional hour vacuuming/ cleaning the whole interior at home.. I've had mobile car service (1 man working on everything) do everything this car was given PLUS detailed interior vacuuming and cleaning for $150-$200 (they charge $350 for their fully detailed clean). The roof of the Jeep appeared to be poorly wiped down as well. I rarely leave reviews on businesses, but this experience was incredibly disappointing, and needs to be addressed. It feels like I got robbed. read more

A terrific job done by the entire crew! This is where I'll be getting my car washed from now on and I cannot recommend them enough. Great deals and clean wheels, you can't beat it! read more

You get what you pay for; the simple wash is only $13, but they don't do much of a job...

Avoid this place - When I pulled in the guy said for certain models not able to send down their automated lines for car washing, can only do hand wash. In a jam, said fine (I knew I should have drove away). For a "complete hand wash, detailing" said it was x, ended up trying to charge me more at the register. When I got the car back it was like they sprayed it with a hose and wiped it down. Car was still dirty, water marks, etc. Complete waste of time and money. This is not how you do business. If you want customers to keep coming back, loyal provide good customer service and go above and beyond with your work. Stop ripping people off. read more

Had a great experience! Affordable - $46 for a hand wash, towel dry and interior. Did a great job, the guys work really hard and are very helpful and nice. Did not try and upsell me more than I needed or take advantage, which I appreciated. I'll definitely be back. read more

I came in today at 4 o'clock to get a hand wash and I was refused service. The greedy man working in the front said my car is too nice for a regular wash. I've had this car for four years and I've taken it to over 20 different car washes in Los Angeles and no one has ever told me that I have to pay extra because my car is nice. Whoever owns this place is a disgusting scammer and deserves nothing but the worst. Trying to scam woman. You are absolutely disgusting never come here. read more

Worst car wash in Los Angeles. They scratch scratched my new Porsche. Stay away from this place if you value your car.

In general, they are very nice and friendly. They seem to be in a rush to get you through and there was no one waiting behind me when I arrived. My observation when picked up the car was that for the price $200, it should really be a spotless detailed car. This has been my experience in other places. This was just okay-not spectacular. We have a sunroof which was pretty obvious they did not clean on the inside. I had to clean it myself when I got home. I also had to address the dust on the seat frame on the passenger's side. Once I mentioned it, he cleaned it. I want to support businesses in this neighborhood; however, I am not sure this was worth the cost. I may return for regular car washes but not for detailing. read more

Very happy with the service. My interior looked spotless, and they even cleaned the cup holders properly, rare these days. Highly recommended! read more

This place is pure jinx every time I wash my car here my car breaks I've came here with multiple cars over the years, it doesn't even matter what kind of car it is.

I'm pretty sure they broke the electronic window button on my car. It came off within 30 minutes after I went there. I also found a bit of one of their towels jammed into the outside frame of my car, splitting it apart. I don't know why they were rushing so hard. It wasn't that busy that day. Also the interior is grungy and disgusting. It's not a pleasant place to hang out while you're waiting. read more

I went to this car wash several weeks ago and am STILL struggling to get my car back to normal. I'm not sure what products they used on my windows and windshields, but there is a film that is impossible to remove (I've tried glass cleaner, dish soap, even a different car wash at a different place) and this film will not leave the inside of my windshield, making it difficult to see out of and actually dangerous to drive at times - this also cost me over $40. On top of this they also 1. Used leather conditioner on my seats that aren't leather (which left a horrible smell) 2. Missed a massive cobweb on the front of the car 3. Left multiple smudges on the interior of my car 4. Tried to upsell me a $170 car wash when I asked for a simple interior/exterior wash read more

Went here this afternoon, and was looking at the pricing on the exterior walls when the employee working the intake frantically waved me in closer, despite the fact that there was no one behind me. I told him that I was looking at prices, as I'd not been there before, and he said "so you want a detail"? I said no, thank you, and picked the Executive Level wash (interior and exterior wash) for $35ish dollars. I didn't even see the sign for the $14 exterior wash special til I was waiting for the car to be done, and it's 100% because the guy was hurrying me along for no reason. I was kind of annoyed about that, but ultimately convinced myself it was fine because at least they'd be cleaning the interior. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience. I wasn't waiting long - only about twenty minutes - but my car still looked super smudged and dirty after they said it was done. I pointed to a few specific spots and asked about them, and the man who was helping me did not speak English well enough to communicate why they couldn't get the spots clean. I then got inside the car, and immediately noticed they did not clean the interior of my passenger side window or door, as I could see visible dust - just the driver's side and the dash. It was a really shoddily done job for $35, especially when it wasn't remotely busy. As I continued to look around, I noticed a scratch on the interior of my driver's side window at eye level that I had never seen before. I touched it, and could feel that it was a fresh scratch by how raised the edges were. I obviously don't have proof that they did it, and I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it still sucks, and I'll probably have to replace the window to get rid of it. Ultimately, I would not recommend this place, and wish I had heeded the Yelp rating and not gone in the first place. read more

I'm incredibly happy I've come across Expert Car Wash. I don't like the bait and switch right at first though. They have a huge sign out front touting $11.99 for the exterior express wash but when I pulled in the gentleman told me it was $13.99. Not a big deal...$2 isn't much...but the principle of it all I tell you! lol! That aside, $14 is still a great deal for a wash. This isn't a fancy wash but I was really happy with the job they did. My car came out clean and the towel drying was so thorough and fantastic. I will definitely be back to try some of their more deep washes including the interior wash. Best part about this car wash? The massage chair! Oh my goodness, it is heavenly! Just $1 for 5 minutes and it felt heavenly. I'm a massage obsessed person and was pleasantly surprised with how deep this went. I did 10 minutes for $2 and I can't even explain how worth it it was. I will be getting the massage every time I go and not gonna lie...that's what will drive me back to this location. Bring a clorox wipe to wipe it down first though because it is clearly not new. In saying that, the car wash is old and not in great shape. I don't mind this at all but just sayin' for y'all bougies Bs out there. read more

Honestly it was weird pulling up at first because I'd never been & didn't know their "regular wash" was $28 & that includes inside detailing so their "exterior wash" is the most basic $13.99 outside wash & they hooked it up! You leave your car in line w ur keys & you pay while waiting inside. It was overall 10 minutes? They had a good amount of people too. They completely hand washed my car & they did a great job I wish I had cash to tip them. But def worth it for the exterior wash at least. 8/10 read more

I got the mini mobile detail here and it was great! they have cheaper packages but this one was very inclusive so I took it. It took about 45 minutes because it wasn't crowded on a Thursday and my car looks shiny and new. The place inside is nice with snacks and a nice bathroom. read more

This is my neighborhood car wash, and I was hesitant to try it out seeing such low reviews, but I'm glad I gave it a shot as this will be my new spot! I went in the morning and got the early bird special for $22, and my car was done within 20 minutes, perfectly cleaned. Be wary for negative reviews as those people just had a bad experience or just are complainers in general! read more

I stopped by here a few weeks ago to get my car wash and they always do a good job. Used to come here alot back in the days growing up in Los Angeles. This place has been around a long long time. They will still wash your cars for cheap. Depending on what kind of a wash you want. They washed me up, and had my car shining. They shined up my hub caps and windows and all after drying up. Nice owners and crew. Always a pleasure to come here. read more

I'd been to Expert Car Wash a couple of times in the past, but it had been quite a while since my last visit -- I'm kinda lazy (and cheap), so I tend to let my poor old car get an inch-thick (or more) coat of grime and dust before I get off my butt and take it to be washed. Yeah, I know... Anyway, after reading some of the poor recent reviews on Yelp, I was gonna go elsewhere, until I saw that pretty much all of the car washes in my part of town seem to have low Yelp ratings and crappy reviews. Dunno if that's just because car washes suck especially bad these days, or if competitors are all trying to game the system by posting bogus negative reviews about their fellow car wash businesses. Whatever the case, I decided to give Expert another try, and I'm glad I did. First off, I went mid-morning on a Thursday, so there wasn't a large crowd of folks waiting around. I was able to get in right away, which is always a plus. The crew was super-friendly, and despite what I read in another Yelper's review, I didn't feel pushed into any sort of upsell once I told them what I wanted. They did a nice job with the wash, but I was even more impressed with how much time one of the guys took in drying my car, dressing the tires, etc. I doubt he would have taken any better care of his own car than he did with mine, and I appreciated it. Bottom line is that my experience with Expert Car Wash was very different from some of these other Yelpers. I'll definitely be going back! Oh, and bonus points for an excellent selection of greeting cards inside the car wash lobby. I do most of my birthday card buys at car washes, since they always seem to have a better selection than other places, like drugstores, etc. These guys did not disappoint in that department, either! read more

The quality of work and price don't match, in my case this is more like a scam, I will never come back to this place to give them the opportunity to confirm that their work is lame. Ridiculous that after paying $100, submitting proof of a terrible quality of work they have the nerve to ask for a second chance instead of offering to fix what was done. Offer to redo the job and do it RIGHT and then I will see if I can trust this place. IMPROVE: EVERYTHING!! read more

recently moved to the area got 2 of our 3 cars washed here before 10am for their early bird special but paid after 10am and the receptionsit called the manager to get permission to apply the discount just for them to not honor it cause it was after 10am. Had to go back to get the floors re vacuumed cause it was just skimmed through tipped the over worked workers $5 and got charged $8 more because of the lack of early bird discount. Really bad experience will probably not be coming back any time soon sadly so would not recommend this car wash if you're in the area. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have good reviews. For $32 and 20minutes later, the guys here scrubbed away at all the dead bugs that had gotten on my grill and windshield from the SF-LA drive. They wiped the insides, tires, windows and sunroof. They have a $14 express wash, which is basically a drive through car wash with some on hand involvement I feel anything in the $30-$40 package will be fine. Unsure how their $200+ packages work At that point just go get detailing, clay, ceramic coating for $300 elsewhere. Giving it 4.5 stars because I saw some small, hard to get rid off spots still remaining. Rounding it up to 5 stars to even the odds they have on Yelp. read more

Expert Car Wash - Prices - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I recently moved to the area and have been trying to find a decent car wash spot that's near me. After reading several reviews of Expert Car Wash, I was torn but decided to still give them a try. From the night before, my car got covered in sap from the trees (I'm from NY so this was new to me). Keep in mind, I have a new car (two weeks old). The manager looked at my car and told me he's not confident that it will NOT come off with a regular wash and insisted that I get the clay wax package ($169). I'm panicking because he's telling me there is acid in the sap and he's not confident that even the clay wax would lift it but he's going to try his hardest. After agreeing, they took my car through the wash and before any waxing, detailing, or ANY work for that matter was done, I inspected my car and not a single drop of sap was on it. The manager is a liar and a scam artist. I quickly went to him, called him out on his lie, and I got a much cheaper wash package. If it weren't for the workers who detailed my car telling me I don't need the clay wax, I would've been roped in. Even though the detailing was thorough, I would NOT recommend this place for the fact that the manager tried to lie his way into making me pay much more. read more

First and last time. They stained the top interior above the headrest leaving it a slight orange/brown color. They took no accountability stating that they don't touch the top part they only cleaning the leather. So you're telling me that it's not possible that as they're vigorously wiping the seats, the cloth that they're using can't graze over the top leaving a mark? Or are your employees spraying the chemicals right onto the leather causing it fly everywhere which ends up staining the interior? Which is it cause it's fucking ridiculous that I now have to go somewhere else to get this professionally cleaned cause of your lack of attention to detail. And no those stains weren't already there cause the car is brand new. This was the first time I got it washed and cleaned inside and out and I end up with this. Also found a black mark by the passenger side near the seatbelt. You're going to tell me that you guys didn't fuck that up as well. Fucking ridiculous. read more

This is a truly terrible establishment. I got the premium wash for my 1994 Mercedes which cost $200 and they proceeded to strip the finish from my car, damaging the paint irreparably. I then got in a feud with management because they were unable to accept responsibility for the damage, and unfortunately I was not in a position to definitively prove that they caused the damage. No effort was made to resolve this, including refunding the $200 paint stripping upsell they sold me on. Alas, my car will never be the same. But I also will never be giving business to Expert Car Wash! read more

I got a $45 hand car wash and wax, which included vacuum and interior cleaning. The manager definitely works to upsell you. The one guy working on the car did a good job, but it took longer than 20 minutes to completely wash and dry the car because he was alone. The interior still needed work and the windows had lint and streaking all over them. Maybe if there were a couple guys drying the car they wouldn't have missed as much. read more

I went to Expert Car Wash this morning for their "Exterior Express Wash" at $13.99, hoping to clean my car after a road trip from Northern California. What a joke. When they finished, my windshield and front bumper were still covered in bug splatters--clearly untouched. I pointed it out to the employee drying my car, who lazily re-wiped the bumper, removing maybe a few specks while ignoring the windshield entirely. Frustrated, I drove back to the wash line entrance and asked another employee to re-wash it. He flat-out refused, claiming the bug splatters on my windshield were "chips"--an absurd excuse that doesn't even deserve a response. For $14, I expect a clean car, not half-hearted wiping and ridiculous cop-outs. Terrible service, incompetent staff, and zero accountability. Avoid this place unless you enjoy paying for nothing. read more
