It's been a few years of (mostly sad), life changing experiences in my life. So, needless to say, I have been way behind in paying attention to the cleanliness of my car. But after getting a long overdue new car, I vowed that I would take better care of this new investment. I always make sure to arrive early to Magic Car Wash, because of it's increasing popularity. And for good reason, they always seem to put effort and quality time detailing cars all day long. When you don't have hours to spend washing, cleaning, polishing and vacuuming out your vehicle, this is the place to go! This is a very smooth running operation. You just pull into the long driveway and wait for someone to guide you to the next available vacuum station. You are initially approached with a menu of services. I usually choose the "Manager's Special". I think it is well worth it! You are given a choice of air fresheners for inside the car. Then given a receipt. Leave your car behind and proceed indoors to pay and then sit in any number of available seating areas, (inside or out). You can sit along the wash area to watch your car get washed. There is also a clean rest room available for customer use. With all that water running, I sometimes find myself needing to use the bathroom! There are also vending machines and a snack area while you wait. The men & women who are employed there work hard at detailing the vehicles. They take their jobs seriously. In about 20 to 30 minutes, my car is like new again! So much better then being a cheap skate and wasting 6 hours of my time doing it myself! (Yes, it takes me that long!) For the frequent patrons, they offer loyalty cards so that after getting 8 washes, you get the 9th one free. (They must be of the same car wash package). I have tried other car washes in the past, that so far don't compare to this place! read more

my mom took her car there to get cleaned today (2/27/26). so far so good until they left, my son left his ipad in the car, as she drove off the tablet was gone... it wasn't in the back seat where he left it. She went back informing them it was missing, the lady was nice and helped out. A gentleman looked of indian nationality gave her pushback .. she asked to view the cameras, he almost said they couldn't .. then all of a sudden the ipad appeared under their counter. smfh. We will not be returning. read more

I came to Magic Car Wash & Detail hoping for quality service, and what I received was one of the most unprofessional and uncomfortable experiences I've ever had. First off, I drove in with a clean, well-maintained BMW, and instead of being treated with professionalism and care, I felt targeted with unnecessary attitude and disrespect from the moment I arrived. One employee, an older man named "John," was especially inappropriate. He made several rude comments, asked if I was married, tried to lean in for a hug, and even opened my car door without permission all major violations of personal boundaries. When I declined his physical advances, he became passive-aggressive and dismissive. He also attempted to sell me a $45 "manager's special" car wash with confusing descriptions and contradicting information clearly trying to upsell with no real value. To top it off, the actual service was extremely disappointing. The inside of my car was not wiped properly seats were still dirty, crevices untouched, and the trunk poorly vacuumed. I ended up having to pull over and clean my own car with wipes and interior spray after paying $50. The staff acted like they were doing me a favor instead of providing a service I paid for. It's clear I was not welcome here either due to jealousy, judgment, or unprofessionalism. Women deserve to feel safe and respected, not harassed or disregarded. I will never return, and I would not recommend this location to anyone especially women going alone. I've filed a formal complaint and encourage others to be cautious and mindful of where you take your business. read more

It was my first and last time here it looked like they use the same rag for everything when I got inside the car my CarPlay had scratches all over it. I told the store manager about it and he said there is no way that we could've scratched it. I asked for their business license and they have no clue of where it is. I will be filing a complaint. read more

I got my car washed here and the cost was $42.00. They did a terrible job. Bird poop was left on the car. The windows were streaky. The inside looked like rose then it looked before I got it washed. I use to really like this place. But the quality of service has completely diminished. Won't be going back after this experience. read more

I get my car cleaned here once a month (detailed) I have a dog that travels with me often. She sheds. Last time I had my car cleaned the guy who vaccumed did a bad job. I showed the woman who worked the register she went and vaccumed my car herself and charged me nothing! Thank you! That is good customer service in my book. read more

I have an SUV and get that it's more work but I paid extra to get certain things done, like conditioning my leather seats. The seats look almost the same , none of the easy to wipe stains were gone. The cup holders look like they were wiped down quickly without caring if the stains were gone. I went right when they opened on a Thursday so there weren't many cars, it took about 40 minutes for an 8 seater SUV which wasn't very long for detailing in my opinion but I could be wrong since I haven't been to other detailing places. I paid $170 including tip. The rims also looked like they didn't put much care into getting them nice and clean. However the customer service was really nice all around. I might give them another chance and probably tell them beforehand some of the things I would like done. I didn't notice any of this until I got home so that was my fault for not saying anything at the moment. read more

I definitely will not be coming back here I paid 65$ to get the outside & inside of my moms car cleaned and they only cleaned the outside and cleaned the windows and her car wasn't even that dirty because we had just got the car from the dealership hours ago so it just needed some wiping down on the dash / cup holder's after I waited for about 15 minutes or less I was thinking in my head oh wow that was really fast ... I should had known they skipped something or just forgotten to do something so I noticed the dirty cupholder still had the same nasty hair and crust in it from when we picked it up that morning I then asked if I could just have my money back for the inside so I could do it myself they told me no they would just redo it for me I explained to them I would just do it myself so it would be cleaned out the right way they still refused to give me back half of what I paid so at the end of the day they got my money and I still had to clean the inside so just do it yourself and go to Quick Quack read more

Magic Car Wash - Complete Waste of money - Car Wash Near Me - Sacramento, California

A very good value. No frills. Not the nicest place inside, but there are chairs to sit outside. And there are big windows inside with small tables if you are with a little one that likes to watch the car washes. I drove my car straight to the car wash from a road trip so it had a lot of Highway 5 debris on it and bugs splat. I was in an out in about 20 minutes on a Saturday morning. I give them an a minus. If 4.5 stars was allowed that's what I'd select. read more

Great place. Always does a great job on my car. Staff is nice and accommodating. Quick quack CW has brishes that dont clean the cars thats why I get my car done at Magic now. read more

Went on a camping trip so my car needed a MAJOR wash. They did an amazing job on both the interior and exterior. It makes me sad to see all the Karens writing bad reviews. They're a small business of hard-working people, who do a great job. Don't come if you're not willing to be patient for quality service. They do the majority by hand, so obviously it's going to take awhile for them to do a thorough job. read more

The exterior is washed cleanly. The vacumm is good. But the dust, the dirty spots on my leather seat from drinks spilled, the dash board, the console, is usually done half ass. I kept having to do what they don't do at home but I had it. No more!!! When I asked for a rag to do it myself at the site, the ladies would speak together in Spanish. They didn't like it that I had to clean what they didn't. read more

Came here on a groupon so I could try them out. They are more expensive than most car washes I have used and didn't get the car clean. The windows were streaky and some bug spots were left. It took a long time for them to signal me the car was ready. For tje groupon price it's a decent value but would have felt ripped off at regular price. read more

A joke of a car wash. I don't mind paying for a detailed job but this car wash was a complete joke... Should have known when I pulled up and there was barely anyone there.. No attention to detail for $40 read more

Magic Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place has gone downhill. This is the second time I paid for quality service and received everything but that. The workers half ass the job of cleaning the inside of my vehicle, vacuuming, and wiping down. The first time I let it slide. The second time I had to show staff obvious places they forgot to clean and wipe down. Looks like I will be taking my business elsewhere. I can't wait for Gem Auto on Freeport to open again. I never had any problems there. read more

Just another version of quick quack but with very low suction vacuums. I purchased the most basic of washes as a test. Received a very short ride through - shorter than a gas station car wash. Glad I only spent $10 bucks & probably won't be back. Employees were nice. read more

I took my car in for wash and detail, to much money not to use elbow strength. I went and got a brush cause it comes off. Just a lazy job. I hate I left a tip thumbs down read more

I don't know how this place even got three stars or no complaints on BBB. They really don't care about their customers. This have got to be the fourth time I had to drive back to have them re-vacuum my van. My keep my vehicle as clean as possible and usually go in for a car wash or wipe down from dust, etc. I decided to take my vehicle in Bc I took the kids to the lake over the weekend. When I got there, I even took out the car seat that was attach on the safety hook of the seat. Clean up my van and put everything inside my compartments to make it easier for them to clean/ vacuum. Paid about $40. Once completed, I looked briefly around and the ladies did a good job wiping down this time so I left. Got home and did a thorough check of the van and the back seats. Low and behold, another shitty job. They didn't even bothered to lift the plastic seat covers that was laid on top of the seat of the middle row. A piece of skittles sitting in right there in plain view. At that moment I knew I had to check the third row seat of my van. They didn't even bother with it at all. It was in the same condition as it was when I brought it in. So of course I drove back. Spoke to the young man and he had the workers re-vacuum it. He didn't understood or speak any English so I just had to point out the area where it was needed to vacuum. At one point I had to ask for the vacuum and did it myself. So basically they didn't even bothered with the back two rolls of seats in my van. They probably assumed that since it looked visibly clean that they didn't need to. When that was done I went in to speak to the manager/owner. Explained to him what happen and that this was the forth time I had t drive back Bc of the poor job his employees did. He just patted me on my back and said, "ok sorry. Next time you come back you let me know and I come over there". Meaning he'll walk over to where they vacuum the cars. To watch? To vacuum it himself? So I told him that he should just speak to his employees about doing a better job. That was that! I came home. Poor management. read more

For the prices they charge I shouldn't have crumbs left in my car afterwards. This has happened more than once. Not sure why I go back.

Front desk had zero enthusiasm none the less was charged $29.99 plus tax to get car washed and they didn't even clean it properly. I was sitting out side waiting for it and I could see the two ladies cleaning the inside of the car they sat in drivers and passengers seat and just talked for a good while then continued to "clean" then They call that my car Is ready and realized they didn't clean one of the sun roof glass. So I politely asked to clean. Then I get home and realized the back seat had not been wiped down. Will not be coming here again. read more

I have been to this spot a few times and its been ok but today i went and they were moving extremely slow. Also when my car was done i had to double check their work they Didnt wipe my trunk area down and the whole point of me going there was because i had went to the lake the day before and had sand every where . So i asked them to wipe it down the lady had an attitude. Well now i drove off and just noticed they didn't even take the trash out of my car door or ask if i wanted it cleaned out! I usually go to the place up the street by Burbank and they always do an excellent job! Im sad they weren't open today and i had to deal with this place and my car doesn't even smell like black ice i paid 33.99 for something im totally not satisfied with at all!! I don't recommend this location. I wish i could give it zero stars. A total waste of my money and my car mats arent even clean read more

I went to Magic Car Wash to try their hand wash. They refused the service me. Instead they had me waiting 15 minutes for nothing. They told me to back up out of lane 3 and go around the building to wait more. Then I was told to leave. Why bother to LIST it on your service paper and estimate tag "HAND WASH"? Oh we don't do hand wash and you quickly change your mind?? Been going here since 2019. Things are not the same. read more

I was really dissappointed service went from excellent to horrible service. My clear wasnt clean even though i paid $44 for a detail. The inside and the outside was dirty. It looked like they just slapped wster on my car. Prices went up $14. From great service in the past to horrible service now. I went home and cleaned my car myself. read more

We purchased the $26 wash and detail (forget what it was called). We waited for about 30 minutes, since there were a few cars ahead of us.. thankfully they have a waiting area inside and outside, along with (overpriced) snacks for purchase. When they were finished, it looked clean and shiny, obviously, our rims and tires were super clean and shiny, but there was still crumbs inside the car like they didn't vacuum properly, and they left trash in our center console. A cup with trash stuffed inside, like why wouldn't they throw that out?? Definitely not worth TWENTY SIX DOLLARS. For $6 in quarters I can go to a self car wash and do it myself and done a better job. read more

Magic Car Wash - She was wiping down the windows soooooooooo slow! - Car Wash Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came here to get my new car washed. The gentlemen were nice and had smiles on this faces. The cashier was nice and friendly. The latinas wiping the cars down were very rude and unfriendly. I will not be back to support this business. Crappy job at cleaning my Mirrors & the vacuum they missed spots. Don't go here. Go to the spot across the street from Burbank high school. $20 for inside and out. read more

$40 for three car washes which include a nice wax job, interior vacuuming, and a tire dressing is definitely worth it in my book!! Purchased Magic Car Wash's Groupon not too long ago and I don't regret a single dime spent!! If I had to pay full price that would be a different story but $13.33/wash is literally a STEAL!!! (They also have a $30 for three car wash deal which doesn't include waxing or tire dressing--In my opinion, spend the extra $10!) Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy! Altogether, I waited around 15-20 minutes max for them to clean my car. This isn't the greatest car wash I've ever had, mind you, but those wanting a quick in-and-out job this is the place to go! You first pull up to the vacuuming station where one of the workers asks you which wash you wish to buy. He'll try his best to persuade you to spend more money (i.e. buy add-ons to your wash, choose a "better" aka more expensive wax to preserve your paint, etc.) but just stick to your original game plan and kindly tell him you have a Groupon and don't want to spend any more than you already have. The first time I purchased this Groupon I did the $30/3 washes and got hustled into upgrading $6 more (per wash) to add-on their tire dressing services! :( He's a REALLY GOOD SALES PERSON!!! I ALMOST paid an additional $3 for a wax job too, but, I resisted and ended up only giving in to the extra $6. For overall cleaning of my car's interior, I give them a 2/5. I saw them spend a total of five minutes vacuuming my carpets and seats. They wiped down my dash, steering wheel, and radio area but it wasn't exceptionally clean. Then again, what do you expect for a $13 car wash. For the actual car wash itself, they hand-dry your car after it comes out of the wash so it looks nice and shiny!! I'd rate it a 4/5! Before getting this wash, I had neglected my car for months and, after having it washed, it looked spankin brand new! The tire dressing wasn't worth $6 alone since my rims were still a bit dirty but they did a decent job-- 2.5-3/5. I also opted for their strawberry air freshener which was very fragrant the first three to four days then completely dissipates. (I think they use a spray bottle with scented water/oil because I don't see an actual air freshener in my car) Either way, it smelled nice while it lasted! Workers are all very friendly and, if you're using their Groupon, they give you two passes for your remaining washes which expire in 120 days. There is an indoor waiting area where they have several tables set up for those who wish to watch their car go through the wash. They also sell random car trinkets in the main office where you pay. Not located in the safest neighborhood but, since you're only waiting 20 minutes or so, you'll survive. read more

I love that I can get a fantastic detail on my car at an affordable price! I have been picking up GROUPONS for the last year and have been very pleased with their services. I love the ambitious tip jar in the lobby....some days that sucker is half full!! Omar is always out front over seeing the hands on crew and encouraging them to pay attention to the details. Overall the majority of Magic crew takes pride in their work and anytime something has been missed they are more than happy to wipe it clean! If you drive an SUV be prepared to pay a couple extra dollars...But it is worth it! When I have time I like detailing my car myself...But the products they use are far more superior then what I have on hand. I think it is worth the money and time to leave it to the professionals. read more

Magic Car Wash - She is so pretty clean! - Car Wash Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came in today to wash my car...it's been a while since I gave my car a good car wash and cleaning, so I decided to come here instead of wasting my own time and water -- jk, I'm just really lazy :) ! So you drive all the way to the back, pick which package/scent you want (I like the jasmine scent), the guy gives you a paper, you walk to the front to pay, and you sit, and when it's ready they will shout the model of your car and wave your keys. Recommend you to clear out any belongings before coming here! This place charges a $2 to $6 extra if you have a big car. Prices here are okay, but I think it went up since the last time I came here, which was almost 2 yrs ago. There are different car wash packages ranging from $17.99 - $34.99++ and additional fees if you add any other services. Service is quite fast, probably took 20ish minutes -- Came around 11:30am, but cars started pulling in soon after, so it can take longer if you come when it's busy! I like that I am able to see what they are doing to my car at all times, so I don't have to worry. The quality of the wash and cleaning was pretty good, but they missed a few spots vaccuming and left some fingerprints and shoeprints. Overall, it's a good place to come if your car is super dirty and they do a good job cleaning interior and exterior of the car -- just check your car before you leave to make sure it's clean and got what you paid for :) There's plenty of seating inside and outside while you wait and free wifi and they sell chips, candy, and other snacks inside & some car accessories. If you plan on coming here a lot to was your car, make sure to get a stamp card for buy 8 washes, get the 9th free....and there's a buy 3 washes in advance, get the 4th wash free :) Also, there may be a Groupon deal too! read more

Corrections to my original review: the Manager's Special is $29.95 and the customer loyalty card is good for whatever type of wash you bought the first time. Example: you purchased Manager's Special - you get your card stamped each time you purchase the same wash. I returned within the last two weeks and got the special. A little busier than what I'd become accustomed to, but it was only a matter of time. This place does such a great job on my vehicle each and every time. Suggestions? Bring an iPod or some other audio device, as you'll most likely be seated next to 'Tony Talkative and his Amazing Blue-tooth Ear Piece that Obviously Doesn't Work for Shit' or 'Cathy Club Rat and her Suspicious Itch'. read more

Magic Car Wash - Wash and seats shampooed were really nice. When I got home, my wife noticed this huge scratch on the rear bumper. That ruined it! - Car Wash Near Me - Sacramento, California

Got the Platinum Wash ($56-their top package) and got the mats shampooed ($6). Waited 50 minutes. There was still bird dropping on driver door (car was 'waxed'. Windows were all streaky. They forgot the aroma that should have been included. Door jambs were poorly done, had to touch up. Crumbs everywhere still, poor vacuuming. I asked for special attention to the center console-ignored. Did not TOUCH back window/panel. In the end I had to re-clean most of what they did. I recommend that anyone desperate enough to go here go with a cheap package, and do NOT tip when you pay with card up front. Wait until you get your car back and inspect, then they have a cash jar for tips in the office. Will NOT be returning. The only thing that was done well were the shampooed mats. Beware of this place. read more

Paying $32 for a carwash seems a bit excessive to me, but I can be a cheapskate. My boyfriend recommended Magic to me, and I'm glad he did. Everyone is very nice and there is a definite attention to detail. A gentleman (I believe the manager) walks around the cars and points out to the workers if they missed something or he fixes the issue himself. I love the way my car looks and smells after going to Magic. There are different scents a customer can chose from lavender, new car smell, etc. Also, there is a punch card so after 8 car washes the 9th one is free! The cheapskate inside of me is very happy about that. read more

Magic! Ya take your money without cleaning. I just came home and spent time cleaning what I paid them to do. I had one tire with no dressing. I had to clean the rims and finish the inside. I have spots on my windows. What a joke!!! I will never go back. The manager seemed like he could care less when I called to bring up my concerns. read more

Went today for interior, exterior and tire wash. Honestly, my grade schooler niece could've done a better job! My interior still had the same crumbs and dust that I had to ask the lady to wipe some parts I showed her. The worst part is that when I got home, I noticed a fresh scratch on my left rear bumper . Called to report about it and bring up the concern to the manager but man I just let it go because I just got more frustrated and completely dissatisfied. Lessons learned; 1. DO NOT go back here ever 2. Definitely inspect your car before leaving 3. Just do your own car wash read more

Magic Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Sacramento, California

I love it here with my Groupons!! This car wash is $17 and some change with a vacuum that they personally do for you!!! Yes, not self vacuum like Kelly's car wash, they do it for you! Then the car goes through the car wash. After the car wash is my favorite part! The detailing!! The ladies and men in the front lot wipes down your interior dash board, all inner windows, as well as the side bottom door jams. It is awesome! There is tire cleaning for an extra amount, I can not recall. They all do a very good job every time. With such a good job being done, there is a tip bucket in the front that people may contribute to. There are snacks that can be bought at the front counter at very reasonable prices. These snacks range from different types of chips, cookies and drinks. Waiting area, there are plenty of seats outside to enjoy the sun under the patio as well as some seats inside along side the hall way window. one may watch cars being washed through the car wash or some television inside with the a/c on. If one wants to try this place out, best deal is to make sure you go and buy the Groupon deal while supplies last! read more

They detailed my car and it was like brand new after one wash and one detail. I highly recommend the service.
