    Reuben came out on Saturday and completed a Step One on my 2024 Hyundai Palisade. He was a little early which was a great change to the normal process with other companies. He did a great job and my SUV looks better than it did when it was new. I would highly recommend Meticulous Wash if you are looking for a great job at a reasonable cost. Please look at the quality of the job on the pictures,

    Very clean!!!

    OMG!!! Ruben did a great job washing my car!! It was my first time washing it with Meticulous Wash, and tbh I was hesitated to go because of the price (it's more expensive than the one I used to go) and the parking fee. You can get validation by ordering a cup of coffee at the coffee shop if the wash/detail is less than 2hrs, which is not bad. No regret of coming here, Ruben was very attentive and very detail oriented. Aileen, the CSR was amazing too!! Highly recommended!

    First off, I've never given a detail company 5/5 stars, and I am extremely picky when it comes to my cars. I've watched so many detailing videos on Instagram, and visited a number of detailing companies since I started driving at 16, I'm now 34. I've been happy with their work, but never truly fully satisfied. Back in 2019, I found Meticulous Wash on Instagram, but they were servicing only customers who worked at The Broadway in Irvine. So I was bummed, but kept admiring their work on Instagram for a few years. Fast-forward to 2021, I moved to Minnesota for a year due to work, and I took my 2020 Mercedes C43 AMG named Nadia. Over there, we experienced the harshest weather: humid summers and winters experiencing -30ºF. Nadia was literally frozen and there was no paint protection. No detailer would even touch her because it was too cold. With the help of God, I'm back in SoCal and found an office at The Broadway! So I made an appointment with Meticulous Wash a week in advance, sent them photos of what they're going to be dealing with. The CSR contacted the detailers to make sure the work that I was requested can be accomplished, which was impressive customer service. Anyway, I dropped off my car around 8:00 AM, and Ruben went over everything that was bothering me about Nadia. Throughout the day, Johnny and Ruben kept me updated. Forward to 4:45 PM, I picked up my car, and I just stood there for a few minutes just admiring their work. Ruben showed me around the car, honestly, they went way above and beyond my expectations. I've never been so impressed, I mean Nadia looks better than the day I took her off the lot, a few days after the truck delivered her. And I paid the dealership to "detail" her. I'm in love with Nadia again, she looks so beautiful and shines so bright in the sun that I cannot stop staring! I literally cannot take my eyes off of her. There are no more scratches, or swirl marks, or any tree residue on the paint. the windows are finally clear, and rims finally free of brake dust. Look at the photos and read the descriptions, and you'll see what I'm talking about. The carbon fiber, the black diffuser, the pillars, are all so shiny and reflective that it looks like a mirror! Now I know why people say paint should look and feel like glass. I'm excited to take my 2016 black Mustang GT to them for a four stage polish and headlight cleaning. Heck maybe even leave it there so they can surface clean the engine bay. I know I won't be disappointed. P.S. I thought I was going to have to get rid of Nadia and buy a new car since she wasn't doing it for me anymore. But not anymore! Thank you all at Meticulous Wash, you have a client for life!

    I was having a really hard day today. After I went through the car wash, I noticed there were still…read morespots on my car. It was closing time, and I felt terrible asking to go through again. Isaac greeted me with the warmest smile and simply said, "Don't worry, I've got you." I told him I was having a hard day, and then I shared a little joke with him. We both smiled, and for a moment, the weight of the day felt lighter. Maria was also incredibly kind, cheerful, and welcoming. It reminded me that kindness doesn't have to be grand to make a difference. A smile, a little patience, and a few encouraging words can mean everything to someone who's struggling. The world needs more people like Isaac and Maria--people who perform random acts of kindness simply because they care. Thank you both for making my day a little brighter. I won't forget it.

    My first time at fast5xpress and it met my expectations for a drive through car wash!…read more My rating really came from how conveniently located it is to my work, and also how friendly the employee was that processed my payment. I opted for the base option for $12 It got the job done and I will say the drive through did a pretty decent job of removing the dirt from my car. They offer vacuums and air hoses for post car wash, and there are plenty of spots to pull into. The only downside to my visit was this is the longest I've ever waited to go through a car wash. There was 1 car ahead of me in line when I pulled up and it took nearly 10 minutes. On the plus side, I guess it's a good sign that they do a really good job of spacing out the cars through the tunnel (I've seen my share of cars collide in a drive through wash due to being too close) Solid drive through car wash, a little pricier than others that you can find (basic for $10) but very conveniently located to several corporate offices in Irvine!

    I rarely take my cars to get a car wash since I prefer to do it myself. However, when I do decide…read moreto let someone else do the job, I only go to Ultimate Custom Car Care. It has been over a decade since I've been coming to this place for my car washes and ceramic coating. They do a solid job and the prices are good for the quality you get. Everyone here is friendly and efficient. Steve, the owner, is great to work with and used to man the front of the house here. However, I've noticed that he's not always here and he has someone else taking care of the phone calls and checking in. All in all, great service from everyone. Prices are up-to-date on their website, which I appreciate. They have a really small area to park your car into their garage for the wash, so be mindful of the limited space when you come during busy times.

    My girlfriend comes here regularly to get her car cleaned, and since I hadn't had mine…read moreprofessionally cleaned in a couple of years, I was actually really excited to try it out. First thing to note--this place is easy to miss. I embarrassingly drove right past the entrance the first time because it's a pretty small opening and hard to spot if you're going even a little fast. Had to loop around the block and try again. Also, there's only space for about two cars to queue before you're basically spilling into the street. My girlfriend and I parked one behind the other, and honestly, another car behind us would've been halfway in the road. There is street parking nearby though if their little alcove is full. When we pulled in, there was a ton of activity--cars constantly moving through, getting cleaned, etc.--so it's clearly a popular spot. My girlfriend mentioned there have been times she's come and had to leave because the line was backed up into the street, so I think we got pretty lucky timing-wise. Price-wise, I think it's solid. For an exterior wash + interior clean, it felt reasonable. Since we came together, I think they held our cars to finish around the same time, so it ended up taking about 1-1.5 hours. Honestly not bad, especially since there are a bunch of cafes and restaurants within walking distance if you want to kill time. They also have a really nice waiting area--I even saw someone working on their laptop, so I'm guessing they might have Wi-Fi too. Now... my one big issue. They threw away my parking sticker. You know those apartment gate stickers that automatically open the gate? I had mine on my dashboard (still on the original backing because I sometimes lend it to friends who watch my cats). I get that it might not have been in the usual spot, but it very clearly wasn't trash. What made it more confusing is that they didn't even fully clear out small trash in my car--there were still a couple random paper/sticker backing pieces left behind, so it's not like they were just tossing everything indiscriminately. Also, for context--my car was clean going in. I don't keep stuff in my car beyond a reusable grocery bag or my tennis bag sometimes, and this was one of the rare times I even had a little bit of trash. So I don't think this was a situation where my car was cluttered and something got accidentally swept up in a bigger cleanup. That part was honestly frustrating. Overall, I would come back because they did a good job cleaning the car and the price is fair--but I'd definitely make sure to remove anything remotely important beforehand so there's no confusion next time.

I know that thousands of happy customers have already written great things about Unique Car Wash & Auto Detailing, but I'm going to add more accolades, once again, anyways. So very glad that I found Vic and his team. (Fellow Yelpers are very correct in their recommendations) This gentleman, and his crew, take their business seriously. He loves his job and business - and is absolutely meticulous about the details. He's the "can do" man. You need not waste time looking elsewhere. If you want it done right the first time - you come here. My car hadn't seen a vacuum or even been wiped down in 5-years - and everything looked like new when I picked up my vehicle. I will be bringing my car to him more often. Complete detail - is the way to go! Thanks Vic!

    I went to drop off my car. Initially went because I wanted the interior deep cleaned but exterior…read morejust a standard wash, but I got upsold to do a full interior and exterior wash + detail for $185, then was provided a discount on this price. Picked up the car and didn't think anything of it, didn't inspect the paint too closely because I assumed by the high reviews I'd be fine and taken care of. After going to fill gas at Costco the next day, under their great lighting, I noticed that my paint had swirls in it. Then I opened the gas cap and saw layer of dirt on the cap area. I've only had the car washed twice in its life (new car) and it was both done by Unique Car Wash, so there's no way it was done elsewhere, and even if it was, a wax should have taken care of the swirls by filling the scratches. This is probably the result of the place not doing a proper 2 step wash, using dirty microfiber towels and not even waxing the car. Other places offered the same service for $150 and offer claybar, wax, and other services. So I paid for a high end service, received a mediocre interior and exterior cleaning, and swirls in my paint. Don't recommend going here if you actually care about your cars paint, and if you want quality work done for a good price. Might as well take it to a drive through wash.
