As someone with Type A tendencies and high expectations, I don't hand out praise easily. I believe businesses should strive for exceptional service--not just "good enough." Jack's Self Serve Car Wash exceeded those expectations. I arrived around 7:30 PM, and every wash bay was occupied. What immediately stood out was the clearly marked single-file queue with "WAIT HERE" painted on the ground. It's such a simple feature, but it creates order, fairness, and removes the awkward guessing game of trying to predict which bay will open next. The facility was clean, and every piece of equipment I used worked exactly as it should--the high-pressure washer, foam gun, body brush, and wheel brush. The amount of foam from both the foam gun and wheel brush was exceptionally generous, which made the wash much more effective and satisfying. Another feature I really appreciated was the pay-as-you-go timer. Instead of purchasing a fixed amount of time and racing against a countdown, the timer counts up. You simply press Start, wash at your own pace, and press Stop when you're finished. I started and stopped the timer twice, paying only for the time I actually used. It's a customer-friendly system that feels fair and transparent. Overall, this was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Thoughtful design, well-maintained equipment, and a fair payment system made this the best self-service car wash I've used. I'll definitely be back. read more

I just brought a new truck but very used lol here and had it washed. I didn't realize the bed was bad. Once I did I pulled out and tried to clean it up. They absolutely insisted they'll clean it up and they have my back. Will definitely be coming back read more

Since the change over to this new ownership the quality has gone down, but the facade looks good. The equipment is not maintained and the counter shuts off making you pay an additional $3 to restart. My Explorer was left with dirty tires because the handle to activate the cleaner was broken (see video). I ended up paying $18 and left with dirty wheels and tires. For the same price price I could have paid the local car wash to do it for me instead of me doing it myself. I probably will use this very limited instead of regularly like I have been for years. read more

For years, I've been using a local drive-thru car wash once a week on an older car. Before Covid, the price was $6. Last week, they wanted to charge $20, so I looked for a self-wash and found Jack's. It only cost $3.00 and was quick and easy, with non-spot rinse. Nice place. I'll be back. read more

First time here today and it's a 5 star experience because of the sprayer. The power washer hose spreads out in a nice diameter that cleans the car a lot better than other facilities power sprayer. I can honestly clean my car with $5 easily. They have a quality sprayer and establishment is clean. read more

Hi there, I'm updating the review. I drove over and happened to meet the owner there explain the situation and he was gracious enough to give me a refund on the overpayment , explaining that you must turn the timer OFF in order to keep it from running running running.. he also gave me an email address in which an individual can reach out if they have a problem there. I decided to use the vacuum while I was there, but this time I only used coins lol. I really like this place a great value for the money and we were able to resolve the service read more

Easy in/out - great vacuums!! It's as simple as that rt? ******************************* read more

One of the worst car washes that I've ever been to. A lot of the stuff didn't work to wash the car like the tire wash and vacuum was terrible. It left my car look dirty instead of clean. There's a better wash on Talbert by the Walmart I would recommend them. Would not recommend this one and never coming back here. Waste of my time and money. read more

Fabulous place to go and wash your car very clean very organized that the price is reasonable. I surely will be coming back to watch both of my cars. Thank you, Jack. read more

Very easy to use self car wash in HB. They take cash(in the form of coins and have machines to dispense them) and cards (both tap and swipe) it is open 24 hrs so if if you and Uber driver and need to clean a mess left by a rude passenger it's there for you read more

Solid spot. Dropped like 10 bucks to wash my OWN car! Personally very conveniently near me Interior exterior. They got vacuums too which is nice not every spot in town got them. read more

So mad I was charged $15 for what I expected to be a $3 car wash. Saw the charge and talked to the oil shop that is owned by the same people (which I read). I was instructed to email uwashcarwash@gmail.com but was told I was supposed to push a button next to the credit card reader that says "stop" in order to not be charged for the full amount. Intuitively, like multiple other people writing the review, I instead moved the wash dial to "start". Like most car wash, makes sense to stop the machine after $3 and have people pay more to extend the time. Anyway, thought email would be a waste of time and I would not get a response but I got a phone call within 7 hours! They are sending me a refund! And the owner was so nice about it. So glad this worked out because I appreciate their powerful wash compared with the wash on Bolsa Chica and Heil. I was going to stop using this place because of what it seemed like unfair credit card practice but the world order has been restored. Owner said the sign was taken off during construction and they put the sign back up so it's more clear to customers. Thank you! read more

WTF, used the wash for just a couple of minutes. The meter said $3. Yet I was charged $15 on my card. No phone number to call, no recourse. CHECK YOUR BANK CHARGES. Not going there again, for sure. read more

I used this car a few time for the vacuum and it works good. But when i went to wash my car my credit card was charged $18 instead of $4.25 displayed on there machine. This company is a scam. For $18 I could have someone else wash my car. Total rip off. There are better options out there. Lost me forever as a customer. read more

Great place to wash your car if you don't mind doing it yourself. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it started, but overall it's great for the value. They also have specials after 6 pm read more

I paid my $3.the power hose to wash didnt work. went next door for help. The hose worked for him, but did not like the setting i chose,$3.00 down the drain...So I get more change from coin mach. Still no operation so I left with my car half wet and half soapy. This place used to be good, but has really gone down. The sign says "email for refund" -That seems to be not true at all after much searching! Very scammy. read more

Washed company vehicle at midnight. Took 10 minutes total, which is no big deal, since I'll be compensated my money back from the company. So I started by "rinsing" with a gun that shot out watery soap onto vehicle, then used the (surprisingly soft) brush that created even more soap. And finally used the power wash to finish (the power wash has pretty decent power to it, might I add). So it took a total of 10 minutes, which the machine tells me that it cost me $5 total, on my credit card. I go on the bank app to take a screenshot of my card charge to send to my company, but noticed on my bank account it only charged me $3 instead of $5. Since they advertise $1 car wash if under 3 minutes (between 8pm-6am). I guess they offer a discount no matter HOW LONG you wash your vehicle, which is a nice surprise. Happy customer! Will be definitely coming here to wash the company vehicle whenever needed. read more

Has the price been increased lately? Have used for years and in past $4 gave me 8 minutes (I think) which was doable on my suv. Last couple of times the $4 gets me 6:40 minutes. Always like doing wash myself....know if self wash on Bolsa Chica is the same? Same owner? Not a big deal but not loving the price on most everything going up. May just start using the apartment hose and save the $5 read more

Horrible place, double charged my credit card. If you put in $3 in coins, you get 3 minutes. If you swipe your credit card, you only get 1 minute and they will double charge your credit card. read more

Hands down the best self car wash I've ever been to!! I drove past this little gem after a long day of being on the road. Decided it looked quaint enough to turn around and check it out. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the bays, the extreme water pressure from the guns, and the amount of time given to wash my vehicle/vacuum. Will definitely be back in the near future! read more

After 4pm its only $1 for a 3 minute wash! Very clean and well lit. Very good deal and very nice cleaning job. read more

Clean, friendly & super awesome owners! Place always clean, everything is in working order, they maintenance is a high priority! Highly recommend Uses quarters or credit card . read more

I usually wash my car at this location and the equipment there generally works fine. On 9/2 I used my debit card for $3.00 but my Chase bank account was charged $11.50. FYI, I was using the second bay from the left in case that makes a difference. I filed a dispute through Chase asking for a refund of $8.50. No one picked up the call at (714) 840-2331 which is the number for the Quik Change Lube & Oil at the same location. If the dispute is resolved, I will update this review. Update 9/7: Chase agreed with my dispute and immediately credited me with $8.50. There is another Yelp review from August 2017 that reported a similar problem. I'm thinking someone may have tampered with one or more card readers or done something with the data after the fact. The owner needs to resolve this. Update 3/22/18: I continue to use the car wash at this location and haven't had a problem since last year. I thought that was worth an update. I'm raising them from 1 star to3 stars. read more

This is a decent self-serve car wash, no doubt about it, but something funny going on with the pricing. I have used them twice. The first time I used my debit card and everything was fine, the whole wash cost me all of about $6, maybe. The second time I used the wash was about a week ago and I used my credit card. The wash took about 12 minutes and the timer had about 13 minutes left on it when I put the dial to "thank you" ending the wash. However, my card was charged $14! Unfortunately, there is no way to find out why this happened as there is no contact info for the business owner or anything. For $16 down the street, I can have my car washed for me with a "required" touchless system. I won't be using this self-serve again due to the funny stuff with my credit card here. read more

This is my preferred place to wash my own car. Many of these self-service car washes are in sketchy locations or aren't maintained well. This one is neither. Located in a shopping mall just off Warner, it's near neighborhoods. It's also open 24/7, which is nice. The price is also cheaper the later you go, so that's nice, too. I find it nice to wash my car just before sunset, though it can sometimes be busier. It's fairly inexpensive as well. I can spend ten to fifteen minutes washing my car for only several dollars. There are also parking spots just outside the wash bays where you can dry your car. It has vacuums, sinks and rollers to dry out your chamois. Just beware, this spot can get pretty busy on the evenings and/or weekends. You may have to wait a while to wash your car. read more

I like washing my car. Prefer it. It's about $1 every 2 minutes here but after 1800 it's $1 every 3 minutes. I spend about 20 minutes cleaning my car and it's super clean afterwards. Yeah, you can get cheaper at those places with the machine but I like washing my car with my own hands. read more

After all they only charged my card $2.50 I guess the hold was released . I upgraded my review to 3 stars .

Decent equipment. Good music. Tight stalls. Been coming here for a while. Never been bothered until recently. But the apparent "owner" seems to try to rush people through. Trying to get as many cars through as possible for himself i guess. Plenty of other self serve car washes to go to and a full service hand wash down the street for like $16. I just enjoy washing my own car. I'll be going to other places from here on out and taking my Bluetooth speaker with me! read more

Pretty neutral review here. I come here quite often. Once a week usually if not more. And it's always been clean, never an issue. I have a full size pick up and it usually takes around 25 mins to soap and rinse. Anyhow, some a-hole decided to wash the mud/sand/rocks off or out of their vehicle and leave it for the next person to deal with (me). I wasn't going to wash my fresh ceramic coating with all that crap in the bay, so I cleaned it myself, on my dime. There's typically no one staffing the facility (not in my experience, I've never seen anyone) so I couldn't ask for credit so I could clean it for them so I could wash my vehicle. Took me 17 minutes at a cost of $8.25. read more

Ive been going to this car wash for 10 years, was very fond of the place until I had the misfortune of meeting the rude owner, who yelled at me because I had filled up a trash can, he then said..Im not spending money, I tried to explain to him that Id just started cleaning as I had alot of quarters with me for vaccuming... but he was so rude to me I couldnt believe It, then he told me I wasnt welcome there and not to come back. ??? horrible service, HORRIBLE GUY. read more

great place to wash your car! I never let other wash my car because they never do a good job. Here they have all the bells and whistles to make it easy to wash your car yourself read more

I just washed my car here and I loved it. Definitely will come back here - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I mean it's a coin car wash. What do you want. It does it's job, your car gets clean, the vacuum stations are functional but grubby and kinda gross, the location is okay. I would wash my car here again read more

I have to say, as far as self-serve car wash places go, this is probably one of the best ones I've ever used. You get 4 minutes for only $2, they have an off-hour special of 3 minutes for a dollar, you can pay by cash or credit card, the spray hose and brush work well and put out plenty of soap, plus they have an overhead music system that plays rock music while you wash your car! Very cool! read more

WARNING : Do NOT use a credit/debit card at this location! Washed my car here on Thurs., 8/17, and just noticed the debit to my bank account was $12!! It was only then that I remembered that a few months ago I was debited $10 for another standard timed wash. Shame on me! Do not use the card readers here. read more
