I was on the go nearby and badly needed a car wash and Yelp led me here. HOW TO GET IN: The first thing to know is that they have a gate that needs to be pushed open by the attendant to get in. The "Open" sign was hanging on the gate and I can see cars in there but drove through past because I didn't know how to get in (and didn't see the attendant the first time) so I had to circle back around. The big gate that's closed with the "Open" sign is the way in and out with the help of the gate attendant so be careful as Lorena is a thoroughfare with potential speedy traffic as people get off and on the nearby 60 freeway. COST: There are three standard price levels for a hand wash: $21.99, $24.99 and $29.99. They have a sign indicating they offer more premium services you can add on such as leather treatment, etc. PAYMENT: It does appear they do accept card payments though I paid in cash. HOW IT WORKS: Overall a bit confusing. It appears they wash and dry the cars one at a time with the entire large crew working on the wash or dry process together. The car disappears behind their car wash tent for that process so only saw it going through the drying process. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No one ever came and asked me what package I wanted and another customer (who was patient with me) advised me to just tell the person who was moving the cars up whenever he came around once my car was under the wash tent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think you're supposed to go get your own air freshener from their makeshift tent shop that is included in every car wash package but I didn't get one because I was confused enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I paid when they handed me back my car. WEAR SUNBLOCK/HAT: Depending on the time you are there, be sure you're ready for some sun exposure and heat if it's a hot day. I couldn't tell if the businesses sharing the same lot is also theirs and if the indoor, covered space is part of the same business. I was just too confused! THE WASH JOB: They did a really great job with the wash, dry and vacuuming of my car. It had been sitting out in the elements for a while and it was returned to me really shiny. read more

Excellent service. Good attention to detail. Highly recommended. Very good value. It is worth waiting for the work to take place.

Does Lucky Hand Wash allow doggos? Yes, they have a covered outdoor waiting area. They even have a shop dog. Be careful when pulling in! Lucky Hand Wash is efficient and affordable hand car wash in the area. The location is easy to get to during off hours. Their pricing is great compared to other hand car wash businesses in the area. The wait on Sunday morning was not bad at all. They accept both cash and card. There is no option for tipping when paying with card, so make sure to bring some cash just for that. The employees washing cars are hard working and diligent. read more

Well let me tell you, I have done my fair share of research by comparing different places especially with prices and quality of service. I have to say that this one has been the best yet. From the moment that I found this place, I have been coming here consistently. I brought my mother's car for a detailing service and it was such a great experience, I did not even recognize the car afterwards, it looked like a brand new vehicle inside and outside. They did a wonderful job and the price was great compared to others. I did have to keep the car there for about 2-3 hours, I was running late when getting back due to traffic, but they were kind enough to wait for me. Car wash services are also great in value and in quality. Although the prices that are shown once you go in will differ in price if you have an SUV or larger vehicle, which is fair. When coming here be mindful as there is always a line, but this shows again, that they do great work and customers continue to come back. It is a small place so sometimes the line can be outside too. They do have a seating area where you can wait, while they are cleaning your car. There is a donut shop and I believe a restaurant right on the corner Incase you want to grab a quick bite while you wait depending on the service you get too. I highly recommend this place! read more

Trying to find a good car wash near me and this was the first one I checked out. First impression was that I thought it would take a long time given that their single file line went all the way to the street. It turned out I didn't have to wait as long since two cars decided to leave due to the wait. I came on a Saturday at 11:30 and it took about an hour to get my car cleaned. They have a few chairs outside to wait at, some with shade, some without. With this heat, I don't think I'll come back here during the summer. Another thing that I did not like about this place was the fact that your car is turned on and off multiple times in order to make it move forward as opposed to others where you just go all the way in and they just turn it on once or twice during the whole wash. Here, they turn it off and on each time a car moves ahead in the car washing process. I got their basic package which was 18.00, vaccum and wash. The interior was well-vaccumed, but I did notice that they were not as thorough with the exterior wash and saw many spots that were not taken care of. Would probably not come back again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]One the best car wash places in East LA I go here once or twice a month[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the price is very reasonable they clean the outside and inside so that's always a plus for me read more

So I checked out this car wash Bc it had washing & waxing buffer service and they did not disappoint. So I got their platinum service wash along with the Polish wax service for an SUV that included full hand wash, vacuum interior, high speed buff & polish, tire dressing and freshener. The total for the services were $80 + tip and seeing the end result of the car was well worth it. The only thing about this place is that it is limited in space and the wait time can be between 1-2hr if busy. Also they had a side service for other car services like oil changes & such too. read more

Absolutely love this place! great value, great service, typically the line goes very fast and it's 100% hand washed. I take many of my cars here regularly and the team does an incredible job everytime. Tips: Usually line goes fast - if it's long it will be about 45 mins; if you are 2nd/ 3rd car in line - 20 mins will get you out. Close to DTLA. Inexpensive for the quality and speed of service. read more

Definitely recommend!! First time coming here and they did a wonderful job! Staff very friendly and car was really clean all for a price you can't beat! They take card and cash but make sure to bring a little extra cash if you want to tip (: read more

I've been coming here for years. They do a great job and are super friendly. They have a variety of service options and even offer detailing. I always opt for the cheapest (silver) package and my car is pretty immaculate when done. Though I do keep the inside pretty clean in general. (You should also know they do charge $5 extra for SUVs.) They take cash and card too. There's a little outdoor shaded area with chairs to wait outside. There are also a couple of very cute dogs to pet. (Beware of the little one, he's cute but also bites. The bigger one has a scary underbite but is a total sweetheart.) it can take quite a long time to finish your car when they are busy so come early or during an off time mid-week. When you first pull in, you'll pull all the way in the driveway, leave your key in the car and then they'll pull it forward for you. Bring a good book and tune out the digital world for a minute or have a nice convo with the lovely folks that are waiting with you. I've met some wonderful people while I wait and kill time. One time we even had a nice cry as we shared pandemic stories and a woman gave me a beautiful bracelet from her journeys in Mexico. It's a really nice vibe there, even though it can take a while sometimes. They do a great job for the money, just remind them to do your trunk (if that matters to you) because sometimes they forget. Highly recommend & I love supporting local small businesses! read more

Love this car wash. Great price and amazing service. Only 20 dollars for my ford bronco and they do a great job. Depends on how many cars are ahead of you the air is not too long. read more

Hours are wrong. It says they are open till 6pm. I came here at 4:50pm, everybody was already gone and the place was fenced off.

Yes. This hands-on carwash is top dog. I have a soft top convertible sportscar, so the el cheapo gas station car wash attachments do not work for my 4-wheeled girl. The gentlemen here do a great job at detailing and leave no crumb, straw wrapper or eyelash left behind. For the price and service, you better come quick & cross your fingers that gentrification doesn't destroy it. Other notes: -card & cash accepted -sitting area in the shade -no long wait times during the weekdays read more

hicieron un trabajo maravilloso! mi caro se ve bien bonito y brilloso. Agarre el de $25 y estaba triste que no lleve mas cash para dar un tip. read more

Fast and great only thing is that it has a ramp on exit that if your car is low it will rub the bottom of your car otherwise great service

Been here a handful of times and have never been disappointed. The guys are super friendly and they do an amazing job. Prices are very reasonable.

Yelp says they're open 8am - 6pm, which is not true. If you're trying to get there when they "open" or near "close" - don't. Two times in a row I've gone during stated business hours and they told me they're closed. I got my car wash here once and they did an amazing job so I was very happy to have a found a new place close to home. The next time, I left work early to make it in time, arrived at 5:45 and they said they were closed. Okay no big deal, they closed early today is what I assumed. The next, and last time, I tried I planned to go in late to work so I can get my car wash right when they open. What do they tell me when I'm parked outside waiting? "Un hora". Seriously, they weren't going to open their gates for another hour. I've cut into my money making hours twice to give this company business and yet my car is still filthy. Off to a new car wash I go! I'll close off by saying if you have the scheduling to go to the car wash mid day, take your car here! But I will not be returning as I simply cannot trust they will serve me. read more

I had been going here for the last three months and I really liked their service. They always take an hour but they do a really great job for an affordable price. Highly recommend. If you are una hurry then is not the place. But it is totally worth it . Thank you Lucky Hand Wash for such an amazing seru. read more

The old adage goes: good, fast, or cheap--pick two. The selling points here are cheap and pretty good. This means it will NOT be fast. Be prepared to wait. Bring a book, or download a new iPhone game, or maybe bring a 1000+ piece jigsaw puzzle because your going to be sitting for a WHILE. That being said, the service here is quality. Unlike many other car washes that employ a team of 10+ employees rushing in a factory line-like fashion, Lucky has a small dedicated staff. They are vigilant in cleaning your car and they take their time to really scrub/shine/vacuum everything thoroughly. I brought my roommates SUV absolutely FULL of dog hair and trash, and these guys champed through it with a smile! The prices are very reasonable for the amount of effort they put in and I happily recommend them. Winter Tip: The sitting area is pretty much a rag tag grouping of chairs under an awning, and the location is right off the freeway so it can get cold fast (bring a jacket). read more

Super happy with this place and highly recommend them. Reasonable prices for hand wash and other services

This car wash has been under new management for a few weeks now and I didn't go to the car wash with the other guys because they didn't do such a great job and was just not worth the price. The new guy now, he goes by chavalon, is fairly priced and they do a great job that's worth the money. I got a wax on my 2019 Toyota and they left impeccably clean. I will definitely be a regular here from now on. The place is a bit cramped because there's two other businesses on site but you'll be accommodated quickly like I was by chavalon. Their hours are so much better now too 7am-5:30pm. read more

still excellent...i like the dogs who live here and im pretty sure this hand wash fixed my transmission :) its 15/17 and 22 for silver gold and platinum - ive gone wild and went platinum. read more

I'm a driver so having my car cleaned from top to bottom is important for me and my passengers. This is by far my favorite place to take my car for a wash. I usually get the 17.99 package deal. They clean the inside and outside very thoroughly, they also give you the choice of a fragrance and armor all the whole inside too..! When you get your car it looks brand new and ready to roll..! Great service & friendly hardworking people..! read more

One of the best car wash I've found in the two years I've been in LA. Their prices used to be cheaper before the current new owner but it's still affordable. They do a really good job in making sure your car is spotless. It's rare to come across a hand wash spot in LA at reasonable prices with good results and Lucky's is one of the few. read more

Been here only twice so far. First time, my car was spotless! The got in between all the nooks and crannies...the door handles, cup holders, navi screen, back of steering wheel... EVERYTHING!! Second time was really good from the outside but missed a few spots in the interior. Had to tell the kid to add leather protector, the seats were not properly cleaned and they skipped the center console. I know this because it had some starbucks coffee drops from the day before lol i will keep going here though. Ps. Watch out for that lil chubby man, he tried charging me $25 when i know they only charge $20 for the vip carwash. read more
