Quick and self-service! The basic wash was $12 when I went back in March, which is a good price imo. Left lane was for regular customers and right lane was for members, although I think you can go in any lane. The line was to the street but moved fairly quickly. After payment, you get dashboard wipes and an air freshener. The wash does an ok job, but to make it squeaky clean, park in a self-service spot to do spot clean and vacuum. There were plenty of spots, but it can get busy so you may have to wait a few minutes during busy hours. I recommend bringing your own microfiber towel to clean the outside of your car, which will make the job much easier. I would come here for a wash again if I am in the area. read more

Came here in my new K4 and got the Gold package. Not worth the value I paid - two tires got 1/4 squirt of tire shine which was not spread to the rest of the tire. These photos were taken at the vacuums right after exiting the wash. Also Brake dust all over my wheels that I wiped down myself. Perhaps this is a compact car issue, I was here in my last vehicle and didn't have this issue. read more

I have to readjust my review. The car wash is a few dollars more than spot free car wash. There is no comparison. Spot free car wash is 10 times better. The only downside is that spot free has a longer wait time. However, it truly does not leave spots on your car. This place is OK at best, but you'll have spots everywhere unless you quickly wipe down your car. read more

Today was my final visit to the car wash. I previously purchased a platinum wash, which included half price on the next wash. They told me now they don't do that. It was worth $12. They told me it's not hard to get new customers, so I hope you prove them wrong. Walnut Hill Speedwash is 3 minutes away, has shorter lines, and doesn't lie to their customers. read more

I'm still in love with this car wash location. The team is awesome and they treat their customer well. It's very easy to utilize the Car Wash everything is drive-through and all services such as vacuum and dry off is located in the driveway. The price is amazing if you get the membership. read more

Fast and easy. Would recommend. Was my go to car wash when I lived in the area. I think it was pretty affordable compared to other car washes I've seen. read more

Stopped in for the Silver package at $16 and mostly impressed. The exterior came out spotless -- Triple Foam, ClearCoat Sealant, and Tire & Wheel Cleaner all did their job. Car looked sharp walking out. Only reason I'm not giving five stars is the vacuums -- they're just okay, nothing special. Expected a bit more suction for the price. But the wash itself? Solid deal for $16. Better than most places I've tried. Will probably be back. read more

This spot has been my go-to drive through car wash in Pasadena, even 3 years later. Sometimes there's a line, but it goes by quickly. I usually go through the left side of the line to say hi to the workers and you get the air freshener and some wipes than through the CC machine side. I typically get the Gold Wash. The wash itself lasts around 5-7 min but the vacuums at the end are so clutch. There's large vacuums and small air blowers to get through all the crevices. By the rate I'm going, I should be thinking about the membership program here! read more

I visited this car wash for a quick cleaning and got the gold wash. The line was very long to wait. Additionally, I left seeing some specks of dirt and dew on my car that I had to manually wipe off around the vacuum areas, which were also crowded. It's great for convenience, but I wouldn't say it REALLY gets the job done especially for the prices they offer (which apparently have increased with time). read more

The line for this place is ridiculous and dangerous. It's out in the street and the cars block the entrance to see which one moves faster. Someone please guide these dummies. People there's two lines not one, if you are blocking and another car can get it it's on you for being dumb and only staying on one line. read more

I love coming here! This place always has a long line for a reason! It is self-serve and there's also a chance to get a membership. It is fast and easy! There's numerous selections for the packages. It's also a plus that they are affordable! I find that this express car wash is the best out of all of the express washes. This place leaves my car very clean. As for the interior, they give you a wipe so I recommend bringing your own wipes/towels. The self-vacuum area is great! The vacuums are very powerful and the area is always clean. They have parking spots available for numerous cars. When it gets busy, they ask that you only take about 5 mins. Overall, highly recommend! read more

There are warning signs in many locations describing all the problems the establishment IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR. I took my chances and LOST BIG TIME. At the end of the drying cycle I heard a horrible crashing sound. Once I pulled forward and parked in the vacuum area I see that my rear windshield wiper had been ripped off at the base. I called the phone number on the car washreceipt and got an answering machine. I left a message. I told the attendant what happened. He had me fill out a form, made a copy of it, photographed the damage. I had an impression there was customer service there. I never received a call back. I called twice in one day. So this is an unscrupulous business. Glendora residents deserve better. I'm a senior, this repair will be a hardship for me. The worker did refund the price of the car wash. The workers were reasonable, management despicable. read more

easy breezy the process is very simple and it beats going to a traditional car wash most days. It's not too bad of a waiting time

Great for a quick wash but don't expect handwash results! If you go through the left lane they will often give you dash wipes, but you may have to ask for them. Buying the package or the membership will always save you money and that is a great deal! Other than that the price is decent and the line is always long because of that! read more

This is a good drive thru car wash place to stop by when your car is dirty and needs a quick wash and vacuum. Lines can get very long here, same as any other car wash places. They're located off Colorado Blvd. and Sierra Madre Blvd. I always get their most expensive platinum service. The prices went up since the last time I've been here. It used to be $16 now it's $18. The perk is that if you save your receipt you get half off next time you come back. Still the same quick service. They offer dashboard wipes and a car freshener with their logo. It's a nice feeling when your car is all clean. read more

After 6+ years as a loyal Gold Wash customer (cash $19), I've had enough. They used to honor a free follow-up wash even if a few days late (sometimes downgraded to Silver). Today (3/16), after washing on 3/12 and returning Monday morning (just 4 days later due to weekend guests), the attendant rudely refused ANY free wash - not even Bronze or Silver. Spoke like issuing military orders. No flexibility anymore. Overpriced for self-service anyway, with pressure to finish in 5 minutes. Done here - won't return. read more

I came here pretty early on a Sunday morning and had selected the gold wash (with a 3 day guarantee) for my brand new car. The duration of the actual wash itself was fairly quick, just only a few minutes. However, when I parked to vacuum, one side didn't have much suction power. I then started to notice more and more that my car still had a lot of streaks and dust leftover, especially on the hood, almost as if I had just rinsed it down with a garden hose. It seemed as if the last spinning drying brush had never fully dropped down to wipe the hood down, leaving water marks and dust leftover. I had gotten back in line to use my 3 day guarantee pass and the 2 attendants were very nice about it, stating that I had 24 hours to report any issues and since it was less then they just offered me a re-wash. The male attendant Corey (?) and the girl with the wire trim glasses (sorry didn't get a chance to get the name!) was super nice about it and she even told me that my 3 day guarantee pass would be good for up to 6 months (but let's see how true that actually would be). Even with the 2nd time through the car wash, it wasn't much better. The first time only the passenger side mirror got knocked in. The 2nd time resulted in both the driver side and passenger side mirrors to be pushed in. With that kind of force, you'd expect the car to come out the wash a bit more clean than what actual was. I'd say overall, I was pretty disappointed with the results after reading all the reviews. It's fine if your car is relatively clean and you want a quick rinse down but anything else then it might be better looking elsewhere. I've gotten better car washes elsewhere for that cost less that the $16 I paid today. I hope there will be improvements to ensure a better end result in the future. read more

Great little touch from the car wash! The dashboard wipe was easy to use and left my interior looking clean and fresh without any sticky residue. It picked up dust really well and gave a nice subtle shine. Perfect for a quick cleanup right after a wash. Definitely a convenient and appreciated bonus! read more

Automated drive through car wash. It used to be $7 for the cheap wash, then it was $8, ....now it's $12 (2025). The wash is fine, it does the job. My gripe is that there is almost always a line of cars 12-15 deep trying to get in. You can almost always guarantee that you'll never get to use the self vacuuming stations cause they are all taken by people who hog them, dry their cars there, polish them, etc. Just be prepared for a long wait for a drive though car wash and not to get to use the vacuum stations. read more

I try to avoid commute hours when a long line may form, although it moves fairly well. Well attended and wash mechanism works well. Does allow a free reward if first wash is not satisfactory. We use the monthly silver plan for 4 washes irrespective of which auto we come in. read more

Fast & convenient I like to come here for a wash and go run my errands after, thx. I appreciate it

Super quick and affordable place to get a car wash. The line can get pretty long in busy Colorado Blvd so keep that in mind. It's usually best to stop by when they open otherwise you'll be in line, possibly around the corner onto Sierra Madre Blvd. read more

Good and convenient! Fast moving lines. Workera can be a little more friendly. Vacuums tend not to work very often

I park on the street, and during the summer the tree on the sidewalk emits some nasty sap all over my car. We also live on a pretty busy street so it was sap+dust+grime that was messing up my car. I felt sorry for it looking so gross. But that meant giving up my weekends to wash it. I didnt have the time, really. And we couldnt afford a fancy $30 carwash every week, esp not a detail job. We were desperate for a solution. Enter this shiny-looking carwash I chanced upon Colorado blvd, and looked them up. They had a free carwash coupon for you to try them out! My husband did the freebie and it looked great. The next 2 days however, the sap and dust and grime were back. After a long discussion, we knew it was time to consider the monthly service & be in the fastxpress "club". The cheapest tier is the $20 one called BRONZE and it is the basic wash, dry, vacuum. The silver and platinum will have the extra foam and are $10-$20 more. I purchased the bronze at home, lined up on the left to get attendants to process my online purchase and they made me fill out a form and attached an RFID to my windshield. They have a club member lane on the right so next time i can go on that lane to bypass the checkpoint with humans ;) The carwash is like a basic gas station carwash but they have a tire rail that moves your car thru the carwash machines. You really don't have to do any stop-and-go stuff. It'll position your car exactly where it needs to be. Finally, once you're almost out, you drive yourself to the vacuum area which looks like how Sonic drive-up areas look. There are big hoses that activates once you pull out of the tube holder. It's strong enough to clean crumbs off your seat and dirt off your floor. (In retrospect, I suggest sanitizing the vac mouth before using and your seats after vacuuming) I spent another 15mins vacuuming because we had just come from the beach this past weekend and it felt good seeing the car so pristine again. The vacuums were great. Oh they have a tiny air hose to blow dust from small spaces. I vacuumed even flowers and leaves that got in the crevices of the car door and under the wipers. This area is also good for wiping down and drying areas that the car wash missed. Anyway, $20 is not too bad . I might actually try to upgrade to the SILVER TIER $30 to get the nicer foam and really get the sap off my windshield glass. if you go once a week or 4x month, it's totally worth it. I anticipate going even more than once a week, because my car gets incredibly dirty, and it only takes 5 minutes to go thru the carwash. Highly recommend! read more

I come here often to get my car washed. They have reliable service and if you go through the other line they give you complimentary wipes. They do have a five minute limit on the vacuum. read more

I've been coming here for years, since before they remodeled and made it all automated. It's alright, but no matter what level of wash I choose, the last spinning brush that's supposed to catch the hood never drops down, it just stays spinning in the air and the hood is always left with spots. It's been this way for years. I figured maybe it's because my SUV size disallows, but I went recently with a sedan, same thing. By now if they haven't fixed it, they never will. -update: never say never, they finally fixed it :) great job guys, no complaints now read more
