    Vacuum
    Kenny Y.

    Joe bell express wash is located in the heart of La Habra. First, I was greeted by Francisco when I pulled up, he had a great smile and friendly. The car wash service I requested was the works, which included the wash, soap, wax, and shine. It was $20 bucks, pretty good value for your money. After the wash, you can park your car at the parking spots available where you can vacuum and air spray/detail your car. My only complaint here is that they do not provide hand towels for you, unless you check in. I've been to other car wash places that have towels stacked up to the top. Also, I almost slipped when vacuuming there, so please watch your step when you go, it's slippery!

    The car wash machines do good job. I wish they would rinse off both sides of your car every time you go in.

    Great car wash and no problems with the roof rack. Discount on monthly membership with 2 cars

    Broken car wash that I sat in for 30 minutes.

    Got the basic wash and pulled in. The car in front of me was stuck in the car wash because it had broken down, but eventually just drove forward. I waited for 30 minutes for the car wash to be up and running again. I understand that it isn't the employees' fault, but I got no verbal apology, no refund, and just absolutely nothing in general for my time. Thankfully, I made it to my next destination just in time. While waiting, I wasn't even able to reverse, as there was another car behind me. One of the employees went up to their window with a note board and when I was exiting the place, it looked like the employees had taken and given them their card and receipt. That especially left a bad taste in my mouth because I obviously was the one waiting there the longest. 30 minutes which is outrageous when they could have told me to reverse and that they'd give me a refund. Again, no verbal sorry or anything offered. $10 is $10, but 30 minutes of my day could have been spent running one more errand on my list. I'm pretty upset about this and likely will not be back.

    Great little car wash in La Habra

    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.

    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.

    It was my first time here. My car really needed to be washed (inside and out)…read more 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.

    A good car wash for a quick wash. Don't expect much more than that. It's a fair price, about $30,…read morefor 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...

    First time here. I was looking for something nearby to pass time and I stumbled upon this place…read more There was an attendant who assisted me. They told me there were 3 different prices to choose from. I selected $19 one and she took care of everything; pushing buttons and whatnot. It is a self service lot, so the car ports were all full. I saw people bring their own cleaning supplies and utilized the car ports to detail their vehicle. I didnt want to wait for a spot to open so I left. I thought it was painless and easy to understand. The only part that kinda gave me anxiety was at the end. It didnt really tell me when to put my car back in Drive, but I put it in drive as soon as the last machine went passed my visualization and felt a bump. If I were to add a suggestion, give us a sign when to out the car back in Drive.

    For the same price as the gas station drive through, it does the job. (Long review)…read more First time here. At the pay area, there was no one manning it so I just got out of my car and started pushing selection. By the time I was paying someone came out to basically release the receipt and hand it to me. No biggie. Drove to the entrance and someone was there as I was having trouble getting to neutral (I don't use it often really, if at all). Seamless experience on the wash. That is until the end, I wasn't sure when to switch to drive so just kept an eye out on the signage & when car was released from the conveyor belt. The vacuum, drying area was a bit of a conundrum - with this being my first visit. There were 2 spaces available. So your luck and timing just pretty much had to be just right to secure a spot. Person to our left was busy scrubbing their matts and looks like they brought 3-4 gallons of water. They were pretty aggressive on scrubbing and splashed some soapy water on our area and driver side. It was very soapy. But the hero of the day, the free clean towels available to wipe the car. Noticed the car wash wasn't great tho, lots of spots still stuck to the car. Considering that I paid $16 so what can I really complain about. We spent about 20 min drying the outside and using our own car wipes for the inside. The free Vacuum worked well. At this point noticed a couple of cars were waiting for an opening and a huge suv drove and parked in front of an already waiting sedan. Wow, the audacity of some people extends to car wash drying was just either laughable or downright low. Overall it was ok experience. One star off because of the wait for drying area (not really me but seeing all the cars waiting for an opening). Another star off because I felt our car wash not fully clean - but debatable if we opted for the $19 wash. Their bonus was the free clean towels to use afterwards. And by the way, when we were pulling out, three more cars were waiting and the neighbor washing his matts was still busy doing whatever. I'm pretty sure he was there at the very least an hour, totally hogging the space. Unfortunately no photos were taken at this visit. Kind of on the fence on coming back, but will probably try one more time, and do the $19 wash.

    Javier did an amazing job! He responded quickly to the Yelp messages and gave a comparative quote…read morefor a mobile car wash. We asked him to do a mini detail with a cleaning of the truck bed and to see if he can buff out some scratches. The interior is perfection! Vacuumed, wiped down the panels & dash, windows cleaned, the whole nine yards. The exterior looks amazing and he was able to make the small scratches practically disappear. One was a little too deep to completely buff out but you have to be at right angle with the right lighting to even tell it's there. We knew going in that they may not be able to buff out but he exceed our expectations. He even went as far to buff out some scratches we didn't even ask him about and cleaned up the step rails and the wheel wells. I didn't realize how dirty they actually were. We look forward to calling Javier back for another detail on our other car and for future details of this car. Javier gave us a couple of recommendations for the deeper scratch and protecting the car seats long term. All the work he did was completely worth the money spent on this. I would do it again in a heartbeat. He was super nice and really took pride in what he did/does. Thank you again!
