Excellent wash and good service! Generally takes a bit, but worth the time! Only suggestion would be to have a place to see when they are going to be open. Sometimes they open early and it would be nice to know! read more

3.5 Stars for Gilroy Express Car Wash This is simple. -Only two miles from my house. -I bought a $35 car wash card (5 washes?) and then got three free. -An opportunity to be lazy and let someone else do some work. Minus half star: While I was paying (the manager) and waiting in line with my window down, his attendant without asking or motioning me to roll up my window started using his power washer, subsequently giving me a bit of a shower too. He's lucky it was hot out! clean car, happy owner. read more

Gilroy Express Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Gilroy, California

I took my 4x4 truck here 2 days ago. I asked one of the attendants, a nice guy, if my truck would be too big. He assured me it would be fine and he started guiding me to get it in line. I had to back it up slightly a couple times but we were getting there. All of a sudden, another attendant came up and started yelling out instructions. The first guy was intimidated and dropped back all the while the new guy kept shouting at me. I felt threatened and rolled my window up! This went on for about 2 minutes. I rolled down my window a bit and told him to back away from me. He went around to the front of my truck and he called me a bitch! And, to top it all off, my truck was still dirty! Tip to manager ... you better fire that guy. He went too far!! read more

Prices: Basic $12 Wash $19.95 Deluxe $29.92 Ultimate $34.95 I was given some tokens for the vacuum and it sucked at sucking. There was no power at all with the vacuum. I used 4 tokens, which each is 3 minutes long. Took that long just to attempt to vacuum my vehicle, which my home vacuum using the hose works ten times better. Must need cleaning out. I got in line to get the $12 wash, they rinse the front and send you through the wash but then they send the next car about 3 feet behind you. So when you get to the dryer, you can not actually dry your vehicle because the car behind you would hit you. Ridiculous that you cant even drive slowly through the dryer so you can get dry. Every single vehicle had to stop and hand towel dry their vehicle. I find this ridiculous because if you go to the Shell station off of Travel Par Circle, the cost is $6 for an express wash. This washes your car and you slowly drive through to fully dry your vehicle. You get a clean, spot free wash for half of the price. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I've about had it with this place. The customer service has always been acceptable, I mean, what else can the guy tell you when you roll up and pay, but the quality has gone waaaaay downhill. I've been going here on and off since they opened for a quick clean. Even did their multi-wash cards before hey went to a monthly subscription. But lately, you come out of the machine asking yourself if it even washed your car. This is the 2nd time in 3 months that I've experienced this, and no more. Calibrate the machine, get the brushes stronger, I don't know. I realize it's not a hand wash, but still, the car comes out about as filthy in certain spots as when you went in. read more

Wow!! Talk about DISRESPECT!! I have been giving these people business for the last year and a half..The owners son has always had a problem with me for whatever reason it's his own personal problem.. today when I did not have my "updated" credit card on file he immediately told me to pull out the credit card in total disrespect in front of a bunch other people!! Talk about bad business and lousy customer service!! Then I just asked him for a wash because my car really needed it otherwise I would've gone somewhere else. He even refused to give me the discount after I've given him so much business..He was so RUDE to me, it was awful!! I've also heard from his other employees that quit that he actually has badmouthed me which is very strange!! Avoid this place!! BEWARE!! I will be going to somewhere else to get my car washed from now on..How degrading!! read more

As for the wash, it's ok; I had the monthly membership for the ultimate (best) wash for about 3 years. Although it sufficiently cleaned my car, the drying was lacking and I always wound up with drop marks. Also, sometimes I was given the basic wash and not the ultimate, but I think they give out different membership cards now that specify which wash you pay for to minimize that mistake from happening. As for customer service, it's been excellent. The staff working outside always interact with customers with a smile. For the few times that there was a problem (membership info was input incorrectly, online membership cancellation didn't go through), I spoke with Kevin each time and he remediated everything without hesitation. Overall, I give 5 stars for customer service but 3 for the wash process, therefore resulting in an overall rating of 4 stars. It's in such a convenient location and the friendliness made up for the minor and few errors that occurred during my 3 year membership with them. read more

Anyone experience damage to your vehicles body side molding & or paint? I think it's from the large vertical brushes. Car wash said it is not possible read more

Very convenient! Not sure if my car had some extra sticky crap or if it's just not very thorough but my car is clean except those few hard spots. Also used the vacuum, very convenient and managed to do my entire suburban for $2 in 6 minutes. read more

This place should duplicated self in the San Jose area it would put that Delta Queen classic car wash chain in a great position of strong competition. The pricing structure is extremely low for what they offer in quality and service. They even offer you paper towels and Windex to use for your car's interior. read more

This car wash is a waste of money go here and you will have to finish the wash at home.

I am a very loyal customer of this car wash but lately I've been let down. I never know what my car will look like after a wash. Yesterday I took my wife's car there and the basic was was pretty good. There were 2 guys at the beginning of the wash and they sprayed down the entire front and both sides. Overall that was alright even though they were pretty busy. This morning (Sunday) I was there at 9:00 am and there was no one in front or behind me when I paid. But there was only one attendant to take the cash and wash. He sprayed my left front tire and wiped across my windshield with one swipe. So when I get home I had to wash the front end hood entirely. Where has the good service gone? read more

This car wash sucks . I got a 12. Wash that did not clean the dirt off . The workers refused to let me go thru again of give me a refund.. Better off going to a different car wash read more

This place is the worsts. Their brushes scratched my car. Called them a few time leave messages, they never return calls. I came there couple time talked to one employee and he seem to be ok stated he leave a note for the manager to call me. Waited weeks and no phone call, came by talk to the manger name is Kevin, keep denial the scratches made by the brushes, asked to talk to the owner and he keep saying I should talk to him but he's not doing anything. Talked to a cop, he stated Small claim court is the solution with these guy. read more

If you don't mind getting rear ended in the carwash, this is the place. I was there Saturday and about 3/4 through the wash when I was rear ended. The person took off and I found out through the police that this has happened several times. Apparently the belts are not working right and throwing cars into other cars. I will never go back as I am not going to pay to repair my car again. read more

Had to run my truck thru the carwash 3 times. Was told the dirt on my wheels was rust. On a new truck! Was told their equipment could Not reach the area by the door behind my tires. Wa then told to go to a hand wash. While wiping down my own truck, I opened the door and got a ding from their vacuum ! I will Not be back and do not recommend! read more

***The real name is Gilroy Express Wash*** http://www.gilroyexpresswash.com/ Washing my truck takes me forever! So when I don't have a few hours to spare I hit up D&S car wash..its great! Super cheap, quick and easy...the guys that work there are friendly & cool & I've always had a good experience.. There's 3 tiers of services(the most expensive being $11) & the spotless promise is for real, no spots! If your picky about minor missed spots/areas & whatnot you'll need to go over it with a damp cloth OR if you have rims you'll need to do those separate or ask the guys there to hit that up. Make sure to tip them!!! =) read more

Gilroy Express Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Gilroy, California

Just joined up. Multiple car washes. Staff was attentive, helpful, reminding to roll up my windows in the back. Duh!!!. Felt like a foam party at a disco minus the music. We came out the other end clean and sparkly. I pulled in and wiped off a couple of drops of water. Hopefully this will help me keep my car clean. read more

Super speedy n monthly unlimited wash packages! Getting in and out all sparkly in under 10 min. So great. A few commercial grade vacuums right before u enter at 3 min for 1$ I was able to vacuum the front carpeting and trunk mat in the three minutes w a bit of time to spare so it's def still cheaper than the 1.50 at most gas stations that doesn't have the best nozzles. Entering the wash is usually really quick and the guys out front handle the pre-scrub. Unfortunately, that makes it incredibly hard to tip them so, if u want to thank them, have that cash handy. I used to think I'd just give them more the next time I came back but they have quite a rotation of workers so I rarely see the same kids out there. read more

This isnt a hand wash car wash at all, you get your car squirted down before you roll through a wash that does a decent job for what it is. It's not overly expensive so that is certainly a bonus, However when I went through there was still brake dust on my rims and some spots still on my windows, which would have had to be worked pretty hard to get them off, perhaps it was some sap. If you have a super fancy car and you're looking to get it detailed and super clean then this probably isn't the place for, however if you're daily driver is looking a little worse for wear and you'd rather not spend the time to wash it yourself, then stop on in and get a pretty decent wash for a really good price. Especially with their gift cards and specials! read more

I usually wash my own car, but every once in a while I'm in a time crunch and take it to this place which is less than a mile from my place. The wash itself is not too bad. I usually get the $7 wash because I'm not 100% sure if all the extra waxes and polishes make a difference. They say it's spot free and it does get rid of the dirt, but it leaves a number of water spots which can dry and streak. I'd give the wash a 85/100. What really grinds my gears is the location. It's conveniently located next to a massive dirt lot. On windy days (like when I took it in today), dust was flying all over the lot and I had to very cleverly drive my way out to avoid getting dusted. Prices are fair and the wash is satisfactory! It's one of the few car washes left in Gilroy and it's a local business so I'll continue to support them over the Chevron despite the weaknesses. read more

Fast and efficient! My first time here, I didn't really know what to do, where to pay, etc. this place is easy as can be! Just hit the drive through, they'll come collect payment, then give a pre-scrub before you drive through. The dryer function isn't really effective but you can't go wrong for the price. I'd recommend getting the membership to get a better bang for your buck. read more

I like a nice cheap carwash. I'm not too picky and I believe you get what you pay for. So when the all the dead bugs were not eliminated, my feelings weren't hurt; When those little yellow dots which I think are birdie droppings are still there, I don't go back for a refund. But when I find new scratches in the paint I gotta say something. Can I prove it happened there? Not exactly. But I would like to know what kind of cleaning and maintenance they perform on their equipment. But what REALLY resulted in the 1 star eating is this: What kinda cheapskate business like this charges to use the vacuums????? And at that, it is $1.00 for 3 measly minutes???!!! I won't be back till that changes. Nice, friendly staff BTW!! read more

Went and got my wife's car wash yesterday and it was horrible it did not clean anything and we got the $16 wash did not take pictures on this one but will not be returning read more

I went in on8/25/17 @ 5:22 pm. car #196. carrier 1, shift 2, empl 4088 paid $12.00. The kid barely sprayed the rear driver wheel. Didn't get the front bugs on the grill at all. Didn't spray any obvious spots. I left with wax coated bugs, your machine brushes missed major sections on the sides of my car, too. I have a Camry, standard size. My local touchless place does better for half the price. Very disappointed, in your quality. Expected more, at least a clean car, didn't get it. Too bad. Attempted to contact you via your gilroyexpresswash address, it wouldn't accept my communications, you site needs to be addressed, malfunctioning. Only way to contact you via email, is here. read more

I went in on March 31st to get a quick wash. Everything was normal, paid my $12 and went through the wash. As my car was going through the dryer I heard a loud pop and did not think anything of it. I thought it may have been their equipment. I drive out and went to the gas station on the same street and noticed that one of the trim panels on my car was completely broken! I drove straight back and asked to speak to the manager to fill out a claim form or something to document the damage caused to my vehicle. I was told by the "manager" that their was no form and he began to ask questions regarding the age of my car and stated that my car was in poor repair and that trim pieces just "break." I've used many different car washes and this has NEVER happened. I was told to leave my name and number and was told I would get a call back from the owner. I did not get a call back so I decided to go back and follow up. I was told by the same "manager" that he left a note. I asked when I would get a call back and he said " I'm not going to push the issue, my owner is a busy man." Well I am also busy as I work 50+ hours a week and I have had time to call, visit, and email this establishment. I am still waiting for a call back. I just want my car repaired! read more

I love this place!!! I usually use the Safeway coupon for the ultimate carwash for $8.99 and the free vacuum coupon together. My car comes out lookin' like a mirror every time! #RecycledWaterIsTheBest Oh Yeah, if you bring your old carwash receipt they knock off $3 read more

Gilroy Express Wash - Lookin' like a mirror - Car Wash Near Me - Gilroy, California

This drive through car wash is a great way to get your car clean fast without a lot of effort or needing to spend a lot of cash. They reward you if you pre-buy car washes by adding bunches of free washes to a pre-paid card (for example when I bought ten $5 washes, I was given seven additional free washes -- less than $3 per car wash. However, if you lose that card you will not get reimbursed. Their vacuum is only $1 for 3 minutes. I used to go to the coin operated car wash on Monterey Street. It's $2.50 (but claims to have wax and no-spot mixes that sometimes only dribble and ripped me off with their non-functioning carpet clearer that has since been removed). Gilroy Express does NOT require you to spray your car clean and it even drys your car so you don't have lots of spots. In summary, Gilroy Express cleans my car well and their vacuum seems twice as powerful as the self serve car wash place so it is fine if their vacuum is 1 minute less because it's 50 cent cheaper and saves me time because it cleans quickly. It's a great deal and another reason Gilroy is a wonderful place to live. read more

Always frequent this Car Wash. The employees, are spot on ( and spot free) knowing you as a regular.,Friendly and if you ask for some extra TLC they will spend that little touch on tires and or back of car. Drying and vacuum area always clean most part vacuums suck, which you want...enough. Might be a few bucks more then some drive thru types, but I feel they do preventive and upkeep on brushes and equipment. read more

Great customer service. They have many items available to help clean, dry or make your car smell great! Fast service, vacuums are strong and I have never had to wait to use them even though there are a lot of cars using the wash. Support local business!! read more

I was there earlier today and I could say they have some racist people running this business. I hit the car in front of me because the young associate gave me poor instructions on when to put my car in neutral. He didn't realize the car in front of me was not at a safe distance for my car to enter. I would not trust this young guy. He only has one month of experience. To top it off, the young female working there, was quick to accuse me and humiliate me in public. She was a young white girl and the guy was also white. The driver on front of me was also white. The female assured that the driver in front of me take action against me. Who does that to a loyal customer? I'll be sure this does not end here. read more

This place is so awesome and they have great customer service. The guys are hard workers! Business Tip: PLACE A TIP BUCKET OUT SO WE CAN JUST ROLL BY AND TIP. These guys deserve it! I love love the unlimited Carwash and vacuum coins for $22 a month! read more

I get my car washed at least once a month and always go the Gilroy Express Wash because of the convenience. I spend most of my time at the vacuums because...well, kids. I must say, the vacuums have good suction and always impress me. Garbage cans are always emptied so trash isn't over flowing and crazy, more room for my trash! Jk...kinda. They have a floor mat cleaner machine which I haven't used yet but I'm glad it's there because I know I will in the near future. I have not had issues with the car wash other than when they don't have time to do a thorough pre brush on the back and tires before you are sent into the car wash, then I have streaks of dirt left over in the grooves and crevices but that doesn't happen often. Staff is quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Convenient location. Easy access. read more

I've always taken my car here to wash so I can't compare it with any other car wash places in Gilroy. However, all my experiences were positive. I always get the 12 dollars wash and never noticed any problems. It's very fast and clean. They even scrub my windows before washing my car. My car's been sitting outside for 8 months and covered with dirt. It was so dirty my windows got stuck. Today I took it to them, paid 12 dollars and after less than 2 minutes my car was spotless! My window wasn't stuck anymore, lol. read more

Save your money! My truck wasn't even very dirty and I ended up having to wipe the whole thing down after going through the wash twice! When I showed the "kid" how poorly it did he said "its just an express wash ma'am"....really? So in other words a $10 rinse job! Not worth the time or money! read more

First and last visit here. Two guys with brushes in hand...brushing the car? No. Fifteen second rinse through the car wash and then only half my truck was dried with the blower. Good thing they advertise spotless rinse...I see water spots forming. The only thing true about the Express wash ad is "express". It should read Express Rinse! SMH! read more

The wash was fine, but I am incredibly unimpressed with the service. To get my attention, the attendant hit my car window HARD several times with the handle of his broom. Are you kidding me? They also spoke rudely and shortly. I want to support small specialized local businesses but this place will absolutely not be getting any more of my money. read more

I just left this "establishment" and my car was scratched up! While I was there, there was another black Mercedes so I walked over to see if he had the same scratches....well he did!! We both spoke to the owner and he DENIED it! Scratched in the same exact spot! Behind the drivers seat, roof & above the window. CHECK YOUR CAR!! I walked over to a couple of SUV's and they were fine. I think it happens to smaller cars. Please report and hold this business accountable!!! He literal kicked us out of his establishment!! The other gentleman & I will pursue this, all we were asking was for his business to "buff out scratches". Be warned!! read more

Their machine cracked my windshield, worker denied responsibility automatically. He said he would have the owner contact me to resolve and took down my information but the owner never called to address the situation. Very unprofessionally dealt with. He should have at least contacted me to discuss which would have been enough to keep my business. I'll wash my car at the other washes down the street and turn in my insurance claim to replace my windshield. read more

I've gone to this carwash for years with satisfactory results. Recently, when I exited the carwash, my van was filled with gray spots, particularly noticeable on the windows and sideview mirrors. I made the mistake of driving home and calling, rather than showing them at the time. I asked for the manager to call and he never did. Today I was back at the carwash and asked to speak to the manager and told him what had happened. Rather than offering a free wash, he told me there was nothing he could do about it. Something that would have cost him pennies would have preserved a customer for life. As it is, I won't return there. read more
