It was my first time here. My car really needed to be washed (inside and out). I came on a Sunday. Its super easy. You choose what package you want. You tell the attendant so he can make a note and give you a receipt. You then walk inside where you can see the cars going through the wash. There is also a cute boutique inside. Towards the exit on the other side of the shop is the cashier. You pay and thats it. You can look around or go outside and sit in the waiting area for your car to be ready. It does get busy. Prepare to wait a while. I was there for about 40min but I was already expecting that since usually thats how long I have waited at any car wash. My car looked good once it was done. No streaks on windows or scratches. There was some trash left in the inside. I threw it away when i went to the gas station. Not a big deal. The over all experience was smooth. The price was good. I will definitely come back. read more

A good car wash for a quick wash. Don't expect much more than that. It's a fair price, about $30, for a basic wash, and that's what you get. They do offer detailing, but I personally wouldn't get it done here... their attention to detail is lacking, so paying $150 for a detail here is probably not a great idea. When I plan to go here I make sure to fully empty my car of all objects and trash out of my trunk, cup holders, and anything important out of glove box and center console. It's just a good idea to do this in my opinion ANYWHERE you have someone wash your car. This way I don't have to worry about anything and everything gets cleaned. I've attached some "whole inside photos" to show a good job, and some close up detail photos to show the lack of details. If your car gets covered in bird poop like mine, this is a great, quick option! But if your looking for you car to be brand new again, hire a mobile detail service and pay a few hundred for the quality because that's not really offered here... read more

i've been coming to imperial carwash since i was eighteen years old - a grand total of eleven years. it used to be super affordable, the service workers all used to care, and the manager was really friendly. granted, he still is, but the quality of everything has dropped way too much for it to be this goddamn pricey. the whole point of a hand wash is for workers to cover every inch of your car. that's why you pay them so much. for the labor and what not. the last two times i've come here with my mother, these employees have completely missed huge parts of the car. the last guy even argued with my mother saying that if she wanted the trunk area clean then she had to keep the trunk up ???? you know, you really don't have to get defensive if you're doing a good job. getting combative just proves how lazy their work ethic is. time to find a new car wash! read more

THE WORST CARWASH EVER! They're CROOKS! And practicing horrible business! We took our Tesla in last week they cracked the windshield all through the middle! HUGE CRACK! mind you my Tesla had Nothing! No prior damage!!!!! And their manager admitted to accepting liability for their mistake in causing the broken windshield! We demanded for him to provide their insurance info, he gave it. Once we called the insurance to file the claim, they reached out to him & he Denied everything to the insurance! What a SCUMBAG!!!! We will now be filling a complaint with the BAR & we will also be filling a lawsuit against these SCUMBAGS !!!! read more

Been there twice and both times they did a great job! I checked the reviews and all of you with your dirty ass cars expecting a car wash to make it new are ridiculous! They look like trash dumps. No car wash is gonna get the stink out of your stinky ass life style. read more

Be responsible for your action you broke my windshield and there was not even a apology given. This place sucks they don't even clean your car right but they do damage it. On top of all of they the manager who has no clue how to manage was rude and tried to say he owned the place when he is a simple worker. I don't recommend this place avoid it at all cost!!!! Trust me!!! read more

Imperial Carwash - Broken windshield - Car Wash Near Me - La Habra, California

Got my car washed today and right after I pulled out of the driveway I got a notification tire pressure was low. By the time I got to a red light to see what it was, it was so low that I just kept going to my house which was closer than turning back. I called to let them know my tire went flat while getting a car wash and they said there is nothing they can do because I already left. I was unable to drive back because my tire was completely flat. Absolutely terrible customer service and experience. Do not recommend. read more

If I need to take you back to my car and show you all the spots you missed and you still miss them, you are not the person for this job. Trash was left in my car, and various spots were missed. Please train these guys to do better. I paid for the deluxe and got mediocre. read more

Horrible service when it comes down to the manager. Car was brought in and the machine scratched the trunk. I brought it to his attention and he got hostile right away. I explained to him that I didn't have that scratch and it's not the end of the world. That's what insurance is for. Asked what the solution will be and instead blamed it on me. Stating it wasn't the machine. Anyways just be aware that they will blame you, try to ridicule you, and then storm off when you stand your ground. 1/5/25 (solution was we'll buff it and if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't) read more

Did not wipe down my Dashboard, Instrument Panels and LCD Display. Carpet still dirty.

The staff is very friendly and not over-selling. Price is great and service is fast but thorough.

This carwash is in a pretty convenient location for me so I would love to keep going back but unfortunately they really do not give you your money's worth. I even tipped like 30% but I was disappointed when I saw the condition of my car. They did a really mediocre lazy job on the car wash. I had to spend a while cleaning all the spots they did not even touch. They also charge more for their packages than other car washes that do a better job than them. I would rather drive a little bit further for a better experience. read more

I have a black Cadillac I paid the $70 for the hand wash. One guy dried my car spent his time on his cell phone and nobody cares. I don't mind spending extra money if the quality cares there, it's definitely not here. I will never be back. read more

I was pleasantly surprised, especially after all the bad reviews. This place is no different than any other full service car wash I've been to. For $28.99, I got my car washed, windows cleaned, wheels and interior wiped down and vacuumed. If you're expecting anything more fancy than that, go to a ​professional auto detailer and spend a couple hundred dollars. read more

If you're in the area, you need a good car wash. This is the best place. It takes a little bit more time, but they do a great job.

Hell NO! Do not take your car here if you care about it. This place ruined my new car! Left it with the paint bubbled and scratches everywhere. I'm so upset. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I used to come here all the time and for the 30 something dollar car wash it would be amazing. They would take their time detailing, vacuuming and wiping every crevice of the car. But as for the last year, every time I've gone here it has been horrible, the vacuum job looks like they didn't even try. You have to re-ask them to wipe everything down, it doesn't look like they touch anything. They just drive it through the actual car wash and hand you the keys. I tipped them well every time prior to them getting my car and hope that they would do better. I've given them three chances in the last year and it is horrible. I do not recommend this place anymore and I'm sad to say it. read more

Went there yesterday to treat my car to a real wash, it was MEH. But my real complaint is I chose the super wash for $31.99 and this morning I noticed on my bank transactions because I used a debit card they charged me $319.99!! I called my bank immediately and they started a claim but now I have to wait up to 10 days before this money is available. I checked my receipt that they gave me thank goodness I held onto it and it says $31.99 on it so I don't know how the bank transaction is different from the receipt, they ripped me off. I will never use a debit card here again. read more

Came here because someone gave me a gift certificate 2 years ago for 18.99. Car wash is now 25.99. How times have changed. Severely disappointed with the results. Hard water stains on the windshield even though the worker "cleaned" them. I have a small one and still found crumbs in the seams. They do a poor job of vacuuming. With all the rain lately, there are marks in the door jambs and they did wipe some but not all. If I had to pay the full price, I'd be super upset. They need to do some major quality control. I won't be back. read more

I wish I had seen reviews before coming here. I brought in my Volvo XC90 for a was. Paid for the $29.99 and was so disappointed! They didn't clean the inside. There was trash on the mats that hadn't been vacuumed. The doors and dash were dirty, left untouched. I asked to speak to someone and the cashier let an older woman who looked like a possible owner know and she said "I don't want to do that." And I had to wait for someone from outside to come in. The car was still disgusting but I was so annoyed that I left. Do not go here! Waste pf money and time! read more

Holy crap. Save some money. 25 bucks for a regular car wash. I guess I shoulda asked ahead of time but, I never expected that. No wonder why the drive through car washes are doing all the business! read more

Imperial Carwash - Sign - Car Wash Near Me - La Habra, California

I paid for a full car wash and wax and they only washed and waxed. Good thing I looked at my car and realized they didn't even clean the cup holders, steering wheel, dashboard you name it. When I asked the guy can you please clean these things he went through w damp rag and wiped down my car. Not even spraying the car down. They I asked the guy that I got the ticket from what about the inside of my car you said this was included with my wax and he talked to the manager and then came and rewipped my car down without spray a damp rag. By this time I had to leave and didn't have time to talk to the manager myself. Very disappointed. read more

Just got my car washed here and it was the worst job ever. The guy that was supposed to be doing my car did not walking around and talking to the other guys than he did working . When I walked up to it I could still see pollen on it and on the rear still dirt. On the inside dust on my dash waterspouts on my windows dust on the gearshift grass on my floorboard. Worst ever car wash I've ever been to. Total waste of 40 bucks. Now I get to go finish the job. Don't spend your $$ here. You'll be sorry. read more

First time here and upgraded to the hand wax option which first provided the car wash and wax and then moved over to the hand wax area and was detailed out in a covered area. VERY thorough on both inside and outside and to be honest I was looking for a full detail and these guys did a great job for a very reasonable price in comparison to local alternatives. I will be using Imperial for future washes and waxes. Only reason that I dropped one star was that when I first ordered the hand wax the car was moved several times before the wash attendants could figure out what to do first read more

Worst car wash ever. They do a half ass job. They barely vacuum the inside still had crumbs everywhere. They left all the stains in my cup holder and around the middle console. Literally didn't wipe anything but the dash. Absolute joke. I wouldn't pay 5 bucks for this wash. Might as well go drive thru wash and use free vacuums because i would've done a better job than this. read more

This place is unbelievable! The only reason I came here was because it's so close to my home. They have never really done a good job but I settled out of convenience, but today was the final straw! K told them not to worry about the back seats since I had a lot of stuff back there. I was on a call when I drove off and didn't notice they didn't vacuum AT ALL! read more

I have been coming here for years. They are great at washing cars. However, their website states 5 o'clock closing time. To arrive at 4:45 and have them locking the doors is not acceptable. What a waste of gas, time, and not getting my car washed for an important day tomorrow. When I asked employee why it said online, they are open till five he told me they take the last car at 4:45. I suggested they change their website to reflect that's the time they close since that's when they actually close. Terrible customer service tonight adhere to what you have on your own website. I won't be going back. read more

Car wash and inside cleaning done in such a hurry car was only partially cleaned. Cost to much money for a poor job

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! There run through car wash scratched my brand new corolla! This is the first car wash we have had since the purchase. Jeff Getman- the manager fought with me!!!

I went to get a deluxe car wash today and the young man who did all the interior and exterior after the car wash itself did an amazing job.

The young lady at the pay desk was also very nice and they had a great selection of air fresheners and snacks. read more

Visited at 8:30 on 5/26. Horrible in one word. I got my car with dirty carpets, as if they didn't even vacuum, the guy didn't even wipe down the interior, finger prints on the navigation, still dusty. For $29.99? Not returning. This place has gone down. read more

If you want any extra service they are happy to take more money but put in the least effort. I just paid for a hand wax and extra interior cleaning with protectant for the vinyl and i got back a barely cleaned car. If they really did wax it, they waxed over the mud and bugs that didn't come off in the wash. When i pointed it out, they came out with a spray bottle and started rubbing the mud off but there was so much that wasn't done, it was ridiculousI will never go here again. We've read more
