I've been coming here for a couple years now amd they are the best valued hand wash place in SD. It's also next to a food truck, a Walmart, and Jardin restaurant so it's a perfect car wash to eat or do some shopping while you wait. They can hook up stretches on your black rims. They can get smells out, and they have a deionizing water machine that keeps your car from spotting. If you mess up and roll your window down and it gets wet, it will dry completely spotless. It's pretty impressive. read more

Magic Hand Auto Spa - Our little Yari lookin so fresh so clean - Auto Detailing Near Me - San Diego, California

This is my go to for a very reasonably priced car wash close to where I live. It's all hand done so you know they take great care. This is NOT a corporation. It's a dude that owns his own business and closes when he's hurt/wants vacation. So they are closed periodically and sometimes keep awkward hours. But that's what you get with businesses like this sometimes. Overall, very pleased both times I've gotten my car done here. Check them out! read more

Getting the car hand washed by these guys as it was super dirty. They did a great job on my SUV 2 weeks ago, so I came back today for the one in the picture. Everything is done by hand except te vacuum. They are nice guys to chat with. read more

I've brought my trucks here for a few years and I always leave impressed. They have removed minor scratches and scuffs, and just recently removed tar that covered the entire passenger side of my truck. Their prices reflect their high level of service. read more

Great prices and they always do a great job. 10/10 recommend. Located right outside of downtown San Diego. read more

I came to get my car detailed at the beginning of the month and got the worst detail I've ever seen. It wasn't even close to Being finished. The kicker was they charged me $100 to have it done. The reason I gave four stars is because I brought the car back and spoke to a manager and they gave me the best detail I've ever seen. No excuses no hassle phenomenal job. I will continue going there as long as I can get the honesty and promise that I received on my second visit. read more

Great car wash under new management. We bring our all fleet here and they always do an excellent job. Definitely recommended. read more

Amazing job on my car a couple months ago. Fast and spotless. Shine was the best it's been in years!

Went there the first time about three weeks ago, got up-sold to do the clay wax package. That was fine as I haven't washed my car in a while. Went today, young dude with long hair said the $40 wash wouldn't be able to remove the water/mud marks that was left by the random rain a week or so ago. Said he will need to use some special chemicals to remove the water marks therefore will have to charge $60. The four stars is for the decent job they did the first time. I don't appreciate the up-sell this time around. Got a mobile detailer coming out for $47 wash instead. Oh well. read more

had 4 guys working on my car at once...when I left and finally got to inspect my car under direct sunlight I noticed many sections of my car with dirt still. literally whole sections. also, saw one of the guys drop a towel he we using to dry my car on the floor then pick it up to continue drying my car. guy obviously doesn't understand that microfiber towels pick up small rocks and will scratch my $9,000 custom paint job. never again. if you have a car of which you don't care how the paint is treated come here. if you actually want a scratch free car wash....you know where to come. I even tipped them well too. such a shame. read more

Great place to take your car to get washed. It takes a little while, but plenty of tasty places to eat near by ( elotes, tacos, chicharones) and walkable! Eser is a pleasure to work with too. I'll be back. read more

I took my truck to get a mini detail. When it was complete I found a lot of water spots still on the truck and the windows had many spots, the door jams all had water, it wasn't very thorough. The interior was pretty clean when they started because this is a new vehicle but it didn't seem like they added any conditioner or dressing to the dash or panels, the wheels also did not have much shine. They were nice and the job was done quickly but was not very thorough read more

I was there last week and I was so happy that I found this place! They are totally hard workers and they are doing amazing job! I highly recommend you to give a shot to this place. They are fast and soooo clean! They were always kind from the first place until I left there. They also made a really quick job and I didn't have to wait too long. I gave a good tip and I will always go there from now on! read more

We drove across country from North Carolina and my white suv was filthy. Magic hand car wash got us right ! Took there time and great attention to detail. Will be back with our second vehicle. read more

Great job. Just had my car cared for here. Had it washed, and the clay and wax detailing done. My car is 8 years old, and I bought it a couple of years ago from Car Max. The paint looks better than it did when I first bought it. They were very thorough, giving attention to the whole car. Plus, they are following all of the COVID-19 safety guidelines. The two guys, Miguel, and the other guy ( sorry, didn't get his name) wore masks and gloves the whole time they worked on my car. Definitely recommend them. Ignore the negative reviews here. read more

Dog dragged diarrhea into our mini suv. I was livid. They took me last minute and did a WONDERFUL job. Boo-boo smell completely gone. Very pleasant and quiet atmosphere. Not only that but they got the owner to come down on the price in the middle of cleaning!! I didn't even ask for this, they just did it. I am just so amazed!!! I will absolutely be back. read more

Brought my Scion FR-S here and they were so kind! They took care of my car and it was the best job I have ever had 100%. They are so close to downtown, now I go there every time I need a cleaning! Definitely just drop in and they will help you out with whatever you need! read more

Went for auto detail. I was charged $160. Left the car at 8:30am. Called at around 2:30PM. Said car is ready for pick up but forgot the trunk so i hanged up and said be there at 5PM. My car was ok, clean but not worth for the money I paid. They forgot to clean some parts inside the car. I called and they told me to bring back my car but couldn't do it because didn't have a chance. Not only I was a little disappointed for the price I paid. I don't know If I should go back again. The trunk was not clean at all still dirty. read more

Five stars!!! A million stars! This was my first time here and they did such an amazing job. I have a German Shepherd dog that sheds like a mofo and sometimes it just gets out of hand. They didn't flinch when I showed them and they made my car look new again. I'll be a regular now. Thank you so much to the crew at Magic Hand Car Wash! read more

06' Tahoe: I'm not sure of the guys name, but i think he was the owner. I got a full inside detail and a shampoo on the seats, floors and trunk in my Tahoe. Pros: It took a couple of hours because of the work it needed but the work was great. I'm really happy with the results. I was unsure because of the location at first, but they were professional and looked out for me so I'd honestly recommend them to anyone and I'll definitely go back. Cons: The only negative thing i would say is the bathroom need to be cleaned and it didn't have any tissue. read more

It was so dirty that no one respected me on the road. I live in the neighborhood by these guys and appreciate that they are willing to do the work for me to clean it. So worth it!!!! They got a good thing here so is you need a wash these guys do the job. Very happy I have them! Pice and all ..it's magic. I get to play on my phone and they do what my kids won't do ( clean anything) .. and waaaaaaay better. read more

Do not recommend doing any business with this establishment if you want what is being advertised. Paid for the basic hand wash that comes with a "Bug and tar removal and spot free rinse" but it didn't even look like they attempted to remove the bugs, there were water spots all over my trucks, and told me that I need to pay for them to clay bar the entire truck to remove the bugs. All I wanted was what was advertised on their website. They "attempted" to remove the bugs 2 more times without success and kept pushing the clay bar. read more

Diamond in the rough in an area that's not exactly the best. Don't let the appearance fool you, it's a family run car wash that operates out of their own extended driveway, but this was some of the best service i've experienced at a car wash. You see them hand wash and vacuum your car right in front of you while you sit down in their waiting area and they get you in and out within 20 minutes, all while doing a fantastic job. You can't beat the service for the price, just wish they had an option to tip via card because I didn't have any cash at the time and they definitely deserved it. Will be going there for my car washes on a regular basis now! Military personnel also get a great deal on Sundays from 0900-1400, the works for $50! Ask about it in person for all the details! read more

I was driving by and I happened to see this car wash! Thought I'll give it a try. They did such a phenomenal job for a very good price. Much better than all the car washes I've been through before. Great guys and Great work. With every dollar! I would definitely drive a few miles to get this car washed again!!! Amazing read more

they will scratch your entire car and leave swirl marks!!! they use rough brushes, and dirty towels!!! Read other low rated reviews if you do not believe me! to anyone reading this that is a new car owner / luxury car owner do not come here if you care about your cars paint AVOID IT AT ALL COST also, a side note. tons of mosquitos in the waiting area, they tore me up! If you dont want bites and bumps all over you, on top of ruining your cars paint, definitely stay away from this place ! read more

Went with the mini detail ($60) for my first visit. Very pleased with the results. Excellent attention to "DETAIL" I'll be coming back again. read more
