    Scratch
    Ronnie X.

    I usually come here and the service is good (friendly staff and good wash), but the last time I got my car washed here, it scratched my front left side of my car. I have bad luck.

    Rear damage after my car was left stopped inside an active car wash tunnel for about one minute with no emergency stop or staff response

    TERRIBLE place!!! Do not come here. "Unsafe accident inside a car wash tunnel" The manager was rude, dismissive, and completely irresponsible. I was given no instructions or guidance at all when entering the car wash, yet they later claimed they were not responsible because I supposedly failed to follow instructions. Blaming a customer for not following directions that were never provided is absurd. What is far more alarming is the safety failure. My vehicle was already fully stopped inside the conveyor tunnel, and for about one minute nothing was done. No emergency stop was pressed. No staff checked the situation. The conveyor kept running as if no one was paying attention. This was not an instant accident. There was more than enough time to stop the system and prevent what followed. Because the tunnel was left unattended, another vehicle was allowed to enter and crashed into my car. Instead of acknowledging this failure, the staff focused only on blaming me and refusing responsibility. If a stopped vehicle can sit inside a running conveyor for nearly a minute with no action taken, that raises serious questions about safety procedures. If staff are present but not actively monitoring or responding, then what purpose do they serve? This experience was stressful, avoidable, and handled without accountability. I cannot recommend this place to anyone who values safety and responsible operation.

    THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!! First of all, staff is VERY VERY RUDE! especially GREG!!! We asked what was his "position" and all he said was he was the "highest position." His attitude and how he handled the situation was very nasty. First of all, you work in customer service and you should know how to treat paying customers or anyone for that matter with respect! We recently got into an accident inside the carwash. There was a malfunction with their carwash and they ended up blaming us and stating they won't cover the expenses to get the damages fixed. How can it be our fault that the wraparound brushes BROKE our side mirror in the first place....Then the car which was on NEUTRAL while on the CONVEYOR SYSTEM started to swerve to the side on its own which was GOING TO HIT A POST so obviously my bf's first instinct is to step on the break, otherwise the damage would've been 10x worse if his truck hit the post!!!!!!! We've never experienced anything like this from any other automatic carwashes ever!!! DO NOT COME HERE I PROMISE YOU OR YOU'LL DAMAGE YOUR CAR TOO!!!!!!!!!! Ms. Lisa K or whoever the owner of this place is, please do something about this!

    a couple years ago i stopped going here because my car got scratches from the car wash. my car was less than a year old. canceled my membership and never went back because the manager did not do much to help with the damages. sent us to a bogus car place that had no availability to take fix our car issue. sold the car and lost money on the sale due to damages. 2022 went back recently only the front portion of the car was washed the back completely dirty. 2025 the vacuums never work. always have to ask to have them turned on. not worth the money. if you are ever desperate to get a car wash do it by hand if you go here you will need to re wash your car.

    Broken side mirror

    Hi Lisa , u told me to call customer service to get some help on what happened to my car , but customer service saying they don't have information . I dont know how to contact you .

    Amazing wash, great service. My car looked great after. I noticed they have some native plants in the landscaping and that's so good to see.

    Came for the first time. Only complaint is the suction on the vaccums. Took much longer than anticipated due to that being weak.

    CROOKED THIEVES. DANGER TO CUSTOMERS. Beware! This is a corrupt establishment. STAY AWAY AT ALL…read moreCOSTS IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY, TIME AND SAFETY. UNBELIEVABLY NEGLIGENT! It is no wonder these self service car washes pop up all over Whittier. Business owners take no responsibility for any damage to cars (which apparently there are several from what these employees shared with me). First off, the attendant did not know what he was doing from the start. He didn't even give me my premium wash supplies (which I paid for) so I figured he was new. I sensed something was wrong as soon as my car began its wash on the tunnel track. I felt dizzy as if the car was shaking. All of a sudden the car gets stuck. I was terrified I could get injured or possibly rear ended. It felt like being stuck in an elevator. Same attendant who misguided my car at the start came to take a look then ran for someone else. By the look on his face I could tell there was something seriously wrong. "Esteban" came by to take a look and held my steering wheel as he and I steered my car with great force onto the track. It was super noisy to get the car into place. At this point it appeared it was never on the track in the first place, I would have definitely heard the car pop off. As he and I were both steering, I heard a loud pop and a crushing sound. It turns out my tire got sliced and the bumper, ripped off. Esteban claimed from the start of my conversation with him that I drove my car off the track at the beginning of the wash. How in the world could I have done that if it took him and I a great deal of effort to get the car on the track and it was noisy as heck? The car's position was crooked and off kilter to begin with. He then claimed by holding the steering wheel I was responsible for the misalignment. Drove out of the tunnel and surveyed the damage. All Esteban offered was for me to call Roadside Assistance and for the car wash manager to call me back which they never did. He said they would review the camera footage but I have yet to hear back. Their employee at the top of the line up is completely responsible for misguiding my car and utterly negligent in failing to ensure it was situated in the correct manner. I filled out an incident report and there is NO CONTACT NAME, INFORMATION NOR DAMAGE POLICY ON THE FORM. I went to look for Esteban and he conveniently left for the day. "Charlie" then came to take a look at the ripped bumper and said he would come back to film the damage but never did. All they have working on site are a bunch of young kids with no regard for safety or customer satisfaction. Sadly there will be a time in which they'll encounter a safety issue worse than mine and they won't have the capacity on site to handle it. Worst experience ever. The kind roadside assistance agent from the awesome Brea Tow analyzed the tire and stated that because the tire was steered onto the track, a huge tear formed and blew out the tire. The movement of both employee Esteban and I steering caused the back bumper to collapse. All this to say I'm out of pocket for the autobody work to and tire replacement at the hands of this lousy company.

    Good car wash. I've been a monthly member for over 4 years. Employees keep the area clean. Vacuums…read moreare good (most of them). It can be a very busy place. Weekends especially. They need to be better with people taking 30 minutes to vacuum and dry. I've had to drive off and not even vacuum due to no spaces available and I even waited 10 mins.
