Used to love coming here. Oscar (I think was his name) was incredibly detailed, quick, and friendly. Unfortunately, there seems to be an entire new group of employees who don't wash a car properly. They're using dirty rags to wipe down the car, using a pressure washer very close to the car's paint, and washing in a circular motion from the bottom of the car to the top. Basically violating every rule for extending the life of your car's paint/exterior. Sad to not be able to recommend coming here anymore. Check out Soapy Joe's around the corner instead. read more

I came here for the $40 Ultimate Wash. The staff was very kind, communicative, and professional. The wash was very thorough, inside and out. They have shaded areas to wait, which were quite cool on a warm day. It was a busy day when I arrived and the staff left me know the approximate wait time, which was representative of how long I ended up waiting. I will be coming here for me future car washes. read more

Family owned business. Very welcoming staff. Did a great job on my car :) I got the Mini Detailing- a good clean inside and out. My steering wheel has bene feeling gross from all the gel hand sanitizer the last few months. Feels nice and clean now. They wiped out all the dust that one has in their car in San Diego. Fingerprints gone. Polished and shiny without any chemical smell at all :) read more

Been coming here for several years and always got good service. It is under new ownership and today was the 3rd and last time I'll be coming here since the ownership change. The attention to detail no longer exists. read more

No attention to detail. My brake calipers were still dirty. If you know how to clean a car it shows. An these guys don't.

Hard working guys. Always feels good to support the people that are truly making it happen. Independent shop with dedicated personable owner. Car looks great! Personalized service. Timely, no nonsense, relaxed setting. Fair pricing. All hand wash. Friendly staff. read more

Love this place! They did such an awesome job on my car! It's looks like it did when I bought it. They even cleaned stains off of my seats. I can only imagine what they were thinking when I first brought the car in (it was extremely dirty and kinda gross, honestly), but I'm so happy with the results! Unfortunately, I don't have any phots of how bad it was before, but I have some after photos. Thank you all so much. I will be back! read more

See all

First time using this car wash, Arturo cleaned my car. They were super friendly and fast, greatly priced. They also own a food truck on the property so I was able to eat lunch while I waited. I'm 100% satisfied with my experience and will be coming here again. Great place to get your car washed or detailed if you live in the downtown area. read more

The best car wash in San Diego! They do an amazing job with care and the attention to detail!

I love this place, this guys do exellent job very resonable prices, frendly stuff recommend everyone.

Pretty sure it's closed now. Drove the block twice and found a sign but no resemblance of a car wash.

This place is great! They always take their time with the wash. I had a great experience the day I paid with my credit card and the phone they were using for "square payment" had a broken screen; I couldn't put in the tip amount and the man that was helping me said not to worry about it in the most professional and tactful way. I have been coming back ever since and I have never been disappointed with the wash and the customer service. read more

"This is the dirtiest car ever seen," said Ramon, the proprietor. It was true. The car hadn't been cleaned in a couple of months. Then there was the large succulent pot, which overturned in the backseat as I drove the getaway car for a bank heist the day before. Long story short, they did an amazing job. read more

Great service and car came out looking very nice. Just be ready for long wait but you get quality.

Good service! I had the basic package done and they did a great job on the inside cleaning and vacuuming. Definitely coming back!

It's an alright place. Very convient since I live a few streets over. $20 wash and feel like they rushed my car becuase one of their friends pulled in for a wash. The worker didn't really answer any of my questions. And when I left I still had alot of dirt n water marks on my car. Won't come back unless in in desperate need. I had high hopes for this place cuz of the other reviews. read more

God, these people were horrible. I didn't even get my car washed. From the minute I pulled up all the guy wanted to do was up sell me. Trying to explain to me why a $15.99 wash wasn't good enough. I told him i wanted a basic wash and vacuum and he pushed the $26 wash. I got so frustrated, I left. read more

Quick and quality service done. I always have a great experience here and my car always looks amazing right after the wash. Favorite hole-in-the-wall car wash spot and very affordable. The guys are really nice and get the job done right. Definitely recommend! read more

Very happy and satisfied. The wait time wasn't bad and they're very friendly.

never going back to this place to waste my money on an overpriced mediocre job of a carwash. would much rather go to the drive-thru carwash and not have to put up with horrible customer service and rude attitudes. read more
