I read all the reviews and decided to try it out before I sign up for a membership. My car had caked on bugs and grime after weeks of driving and baking in the sun. I signed up for the cheap basic and it came out with still plenty of bugs on the front bumper and some overall spots, but that's on me. The BASIC states it's for general dust and dirt - I should have upgraded. But both points of contact with staff were friendly and most importantly I watched as the "wash woman" made an adjustment on the equipment so the giant roller was deactivated for my aftermarket Thule racks. I'll be returning for a membership. I have a brand new car and I was happy! read more

I DO MOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR WASH AS the brushes don't really clean your car and leaves SCRATCHES and DEBRIS. My car never comes out clean and full of water spots on entire car. read more

Strongly Recommended The facilities are clean and the staff are very friendly. Especially vacuum is working well. read more

I really like this car wash in Petaluma! It's very affordable & the wash left my car nice & clean. They have self service vacuums & even provide drying rags, they have this cool car mat cleaner $ separate glass rags & spray. The staff are friendly & ready to help & they provide small water bottles for you to take with you! This will definitely be one of my go to car washes! read more

Writing another review because I love this place so much! Their customer service is so outstanding. Kudos to everybody running this place and all of the workers, they are so polite and so friendly, and truly offer a white glove customer experience. They really do go above and beyond and it shows. I have their monthly membership and it is 100% worth it. Their vacuums are also extremely strong, get out tough dog hair. I recommend this to anyone looking for a new car wash! read more

I have had the opportunity to use Happy's Drive Thru Carwash a couple of times. I usually get the medium rate wash, the end result is good for an automatic car wash. What I like about Happy's Drive-Thru Carwash is what they offer: Vacuums to clean the interior, clean rags to dry your car, a mat cleaner, and they even have a cold water bottle fridge for clients! read more

Half my truck didn't get washed for $17. Too long of a line to bother going through again. I've never had a "great" car wash here, not sure why I keep going back. Maybe it isn't made for trucks. read more

Happy's Drive Thru Car Wash - Look how shiny my 10 year old car looks! Thanks Happy's Drive Thru Carwash! - Car Wash Near Me - Petaluma, California

Excellent service! Outstanding customer service attention and first time am associate was so wonderfully helpful and genuinely courteous and conscious about how my experience was, it was so exceptional I can say it was the best experience I have ever had at a car wash by far!!!!! Way to go!! The young guys walking around asking to clean your car matts are so considerate!! Great place! Great staff!!!! Well done! read more

This is THE WORST car wash! You could drive through 10 times and your car would still be dirty after. The "pre spray" does absolutely nothing and neither do the neon lights or soap. For the amount you pay, the least they could do is actually clean your car. Don't waste your time or your money, you're better off going somewhere else. read more

I had a great experience with Happy's Car Wash. We loved the free water, vacuums, wipes, and towels. Overall, great experience.

Great place to stop in and grab a quick wash. Jasmars always out front extremely helpful making sure everything runs smooth !

I was told that there was a Memorial Day Sale and that I would receive a month of unlimited car washes for $10. I extensively asked the person working there if this membership would auto-renew and was told that it would not. I was told that when my $10 month was over, the next time that I came through the car wash, I would be asked if I wanted to continue onto a monthly subscription. This was not what happened as my card was charged $36 as soon as the month was up. The car wash itself is fine. My issue is with blatantly lying to your customers to get them into an auto-renewing membership that you hope goes undetected. I am so disappointed in this business. read more

Good car wash Good price. Waiting for them to contact us about a decal the machine ripped off the grill of our Toyota. They are not answering the phone and they have not called me. Hope they get this resolved soon and they take responsibility love going to this place. read more

I've been to this car wash a couple times before and the eight dollar car wash and $12 car wash are really good deals!! I did the $12 one today, since I needed my rims to be cleaned. They have a clean area to dry off your car or even use their vacuum. I just wish it was shaded but this morning it was nice and overcast so I didn't sweat too much drying off my car. I do wish the automatic air dryers lasted a little bit longer or maybe it's a fact I have a small SUV, but there was water all over my car especially on the trunk side. Lol I'll still be back next weekend to wash my car again! I also like the car wash monthly deal that they have! read more

Went into Happy's Drive-thru car wash last Saturday and while inside my side mirror was completely ripped off of my car. I'm a regular of this establishment and sadly won't be returning. I'm not the type to yelp about places because I understand things happen and everything can't go perfectly but the manager never got back to me and it wasn't until the following Saturday that the assistant manager reached out to tell me that they will not pay for the damage that THEY did. Instead urgently wanted to let me know that my car was defective and had nothing to do with the fact that their machine broke my mirror clean off. 10/10 Do not recommend read more

impressive place very good service & a first time going to a wash where people helped me.

C'mon guys. The dryer has been broken for well over a month now. The only one of the drying rollers that work is the overhead one which doesn't even touch the hood of the car, touches maybe the first third of the roof of the car, and then stops. It did the same thing when Wash-2-Go operated this place. Either replace the machinery or fix it. My car gets dirty within an hour of leaving because it's not dried properly. What am I paying for? I'll go through there again in the next day or two and take photos of the dryer, post them, and allow anyone wondering how the new operators are handling this to see for themselves. In the POSITIVE column, the new staff is very courteous and professional. read more

Five star review specifically for Jasmar who demonstrated exceptional customer service. He was able to succintly describe their different packages without any pressured upselling. I thought something may have flown off my car during the wash and Jasmar immediately offered to check inside the tunnels to look for them. After I said it was my first visit, he took time to familiarize me with their additional and free services; mat washers, towels, vacuums, and cold water bottles. The overall experience exceeded my expectations for a business with an average Yelp rating. Highly recommend. Just a word of caution that their washer and dryer are really strong. Be mindful of that and proceed at your own risk if you have an older vehicle with loose parts. read more

Perfect car wash. We need one in SF! Reasonable price and careful and thorough cleaning

I used to go to another car wash in San Jose, so when I moved to the area here and saw there was only one location in the local area that had a monthly subscription and was an automated wash, I figured they probably had a monopoly of the area and did whatever they wanted. Rolling through it, I was happily surprised by this carwash. Larger space than the prior one I went to, cleaner, more organized, and the wash itself did a better job - for a cheaper overall price than San Jose. Plus they have a mat cleaner machine, towels and a fridge of free water bottles - which was a nice extra touch. Signing up was equally easy, though I drove through when there was someone at the Kiosk already, who walked me through the whole thing, but it's straightforward as could get. I didn't see anything broken inside the car wash like the dryer so that's been fixed since the last reviews I read, and it was a pretty powerful wash all in all. Had to fold in mirrors or they'd get pushed out of place, since it seems the rollers roll in the opposite direction mirrors fold into. That's the only thing I'd warn about - secure your mirrors before going in. Overall 10/10, delivers on everything I'd hope for. read more

So frustrated! Something has changed in their system and it is now breaking the same part of my car. The last time I got a car wash, it broke my rear windshield wiper. I chalked it up to "it was needing to be replaced anyway." I got it replaced and didn't think twice about it. Fast foreword to the next month and I ran my car through the car wash again and it broke it again!! I have been going to this car wash for years and this has happened twice in a row. You really should pay for this as something is wrong with your wash. I will not be returning and I cannot recommend this car wash to anyone. read more

Great Costumer Service! When I entered the car wash line I was greeted with a big smile from Joey. He kept the line moving and gave me a car freshener. Car was sparkling. Great wash Great people. read more

Car was washed and reasonably priced. I did find it didn't completely clean everything, but was just my car asked for.

THE BEST! Fernando, the manager is a kind man who is really helpful. His entire team is competent and professional. I really like the option to vacuum the car after--really good vacuums!!! PLUS, the car wash itself is like a disco :) Put on some good music and enjoy the wash. read more

Things are not the same since they got new equipment. The dry roller has often not working and now the machines are bending the rearview mirrors back against the car. This can be a danger if you don't notice it until you get back on the freeway and try to change lanes. I'll give them another few months to get their act together, but if not, I'll start looking for another car wash in Petaluma. read more

This car wash is the best in Sonoma County! I've tried many and there isn't one that comes close to the level of service that Happy's provides. Prices are reasonable and I can vacuum the inside of my own car which I need to do weekly. The vacuums have super suction and are always in working order. There's even a machine that cleans car rugs. The staff are well trained, polite and knowledgeable. I have to wash my car weekly because I don't have a garage and I transport my snacking toddler grandsons to and from daycare. Happy's offers a membership club that allows me (for a nominal fee) to have my car washed as many times per month as needed. I highly recommend Happy's! read more

Like everyone is stating, damage to side mirrors are happening, both times through my left truck mirror almost broke off,

Easy to use, just drive in, pay at kiosk, but sometimes someone is there to help, then ride thru car wash. Also can park and use the vacuum to clean inside car. Quality is good for an automated wash, I guess the value is good, don't use it very often to compare with other places. read more

First time going to this car wash and I was pleasantly surprised. I finally found a wash that cleans my car properly. With other places I have tried my car is always left with dust especially in the back window and trunk. My car was spotless after going through this wash. Most car washes lightly mist your car with water but this one has some nice power to it which is what gets all the dirt off. The staff is great, they greet you with a smile and provide great costumer service. I bought the wash me clean option and was highly satisfied. Definitely found my new car wash go to. read more

No complaints! Great location! Nice and clean place. Also great service!! Highly recommended!! read more

I stopped by because of a post that said this place had gotten new machines and was giving out free car washes for a grand opening. It was great! Everyone was really friendly and it was a good deal. I'll be back! read more

The car wash never completely washes the soap off your car nor does it dry it completely. The vacuums NEVER work! I have to change stations every single time at least 3 times until I find a vacuum station that works! My custom license plate never gets read by the machine, so I have to wait in line for help every single time! They say they put it into the system to register next time and it never does. It used to be better but after changing to "Happy Wash" I've been disappointed every time! read more

I went there today and it was there grand opening weekend and got a free car wash I went here before when it wasn't Happy's they were slightly cheaper but it's a convenient service and the staff were all nice! I'd go back again. read more

The employees that work there are very nice and helpful. I have been there numerous times. When they first opened, I had to go through twice because something was faulty. Went through and all was good. Next several times uneventful, worked well. I brought my convertible through, as I had driven through the previous carwash many times. Happy had, at that time, o brush that swiveled to clean the top of the car, and it tore up my top. Not to a point where it leaks, bit noticeably tore up threads and left spin marks. Day before yesterday when I went through, the carwash just shut down for a few mi uses, with three cars in it. However, it was short lived and my car was clean when I came out. They did give me that carwash for free. I noticed they removed the rotating roof cleaners and just have those mop like things (much better for paint jobs and ragtops). For the convenience of just driving through and having decent people to assist, I would really give it a 3.5. It's only been there a short while and I alone have experienced more than my share of issues there, so a 3.5 is what I would give it, with time to improve. read more

Happy that this carwash is so convenient and did a great job on washing my car. The self-vacuuming cleaning availability is a real plus for me. The person who greeted me to explain about their different memberships had a big smile on his face, a great way to brighten the day even when waiting in line to get into the carwash (and I am in Petaluma not Schaumburg) read more

The car wash and vacuum cleaning was awesome. The employees were extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this car wash.

I'm so satisfied with their service. They've provided a lot of care and attention to detail on my car. The employees are very approachable and kind. It makes me want to come back for my next car wash. read more

Happy's Drive Thru Car Wash - By the way they hand out free car-fresheners. - Car Wash Near Me - Petaluma, California

I took my car for a wash here. Only half of the car washed. I noticed this when vacuuming the car. I went back and told the person working there. He sent me back in, but this time I watched what's happening. The flappers were somehow hanging. I went back and told the same guy. He said the only thing he can do is send me back. This would have yielded the same results. I told him I don't want to go and I don't want my money back just make sure to check it so it doesn't happen to others. He continued to stand there and send more customers in the line. Avoid this place. Not worth the hassle and money. read more

Definitely recommend this car wash they really did a great job in improving everything not to mention the staff is just amazing. Got to speak with the manager Fernando and super nice gentleman very professional!! I needed help with putting on my plates and with no hesitation he helped out very great customer service. Overall loved the way my car turned out very convenient place to go to! They need to open one in Santa Rosa that would be a huge hit. read more
