Had a wonderful experience today at this carwash. This team is attentive and kind. It was fast and effective. Would definitely recommend.

Olympic Speedwash offers fair pricing for several car wash options (basic, super, premium), but the biggest win of this location is vacuums, which are included in the cost of the car wash. The one downside -- this is a small-ish location, and there are about 6-7 vacuum stalls. The car wash is a faster process than the vacuuming, so there is almost always a wait to use the vacuums, which creates a small traffic jam in the already small parking lot. read more

Aaron Everything I stated is a fact! I'm not the only one saying this here. I made a suggestion about a courtesy wipe down so our cars don't streak in this hot weather. Maybe the vacuums should be on a timer since no one abides by the posted signs. My review was fair and accurate, despite your offended perception of it! EVERY time I come here there's a long line and so many cars waiting for the vacuums! I went again yesterday and told the woman working there that I would likely be canceling my membership if I had to wait to use the vacuums again. She was somewhat dismissive and told me the owner/manager told her not to enforce the 5 minute rule with customers. As usual, I had to wait again along with others to vacuum,I had to get out and dry my car while I waited because I didn't want streaks. Since this is a reoccurring issue, employees should offer to wipe the cars down while we wait! I had to ask the attendant to tape my rear wiper down, as they do at other car washes (not the first time) The exit from the wash is very tight also and my car doesn't really get clean. I don't think I will continue my membership here. Nothing changes. read more

One of the most convenient car wash in west LA. The line is never too long and it's actually 5 minutes. I also love that they have different tiers. read more

I use this car wash. It's close to my house and convenient. It gets the stuck yellow stuff off the paint. The people that work there are very nice and helpful. The line moves quickly. These are the things I care about because my time is important. The vacuum situation usually has a wait. I take care of that at home. The price is good with no pricey tips. It fits my needs perfectly. read more

They blast the most obnoxious marketing music jingle while you're trying to vacuum your car. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Also, they don't take Apple Pay, which is beyond stupid. I won't be back. read more

This might be the worst car wash I have ever been to. The space doesn't allow for an efficient car wash. It's $15 for a "5 minutes express car wash". Once you get out of the car wash, the line for about 6 spaces of the vacuum blocks both the entrance and exit. First time here and will never be back. read more

Olympic Speedwash - $15 car wash that took almost a half hour because of the cramped inefficient space. - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It was another good carwash at Olympic Speedwash! I was here recently & all went well. The wash doesn't take long & I used the vacuum for the front & back seats. It really doesn't take long to do the vacuuming. The staff at Olympic Speedwash are super pleasant & helpful. They work hard in keeping the area clean & spotless. All in all, another grea experience at Olympic Speedwash read more

Editing my original review to reflect the wonderful customer service provided by Aaron. He was open to hearing the details of what went wrong and clarified that they do offer complimentary rewashes if the car does not come out clean enough. He apologized for the poor service I received and offered me a generous courtesy make good. I will definitely be giving them another chance. Thank you again, Aaron! I've been to this car wash a few times and have always been pleased. A couple of times my car has been extra dirty and hasn't come out completely clean. They have always let me run my car through again with no issue. Today I went there and before I even drove through, the man working the machine told me I would have to pay twice if I wanted to run my car through twice. I told him that my car is unusually dirty and it's not my fault if their machine can't always clean it completely. He didn't care. I explained that I've never had an issue in the past. He still didn't care. He told me that it's not fair to the people who have the monthly unlimited membership. HUH?! I left without going through the wash and will not be returning. read more

Great service. Friendly staff. Just don't let them use the disabled spot if you don't have a blue tag.... read more

I think the car wash itself is great. However, there needs to be a time limit and monitoring of the vaccum services. The last two times I've gone for a car wash, there's always a LONG line for the vaccums, and it blocks cars from trying to leave/enter the lot. I understand the vacuum service is free, but there is long line of car leaving the wash that need the service too but have to end up leaving (myself, included) because other customers take way too long. There is sometimes an employee outside guiding cars to which spot to go to, but they need to make this somehow more efficient and equitable for other customers. read more

It is worth having the subscription, I pay $35 (first month is free) and you have unlimited car washes a month. If you show after work hours the line is extremely long. Super tip Is enter through Olympic if you truly to enter through the side street the end of the line is on Olympic - goodluck trying to enter cuz technically your cutting the line. read more

Yesterday I came to this establishment to wash my mom's car as part of her Mother's Day treatment, and I had such a wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the employees were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. But what really stood out was how kind everyone was when I accidentally locked myself out of my mom's car. The one lady working there generously let me use her phone so I could call my husband and get AAA on the way. While I was waiting and sitting on the curb, one of the male employees kindly brought me a chair to sit in. I was even offered bottled water a couple of times by the employees. It was around 6:30-7:00 PM, so it wasn't even hot outside, but the thoughtful gestures truly meant a lot to me. On top of the amazing customer service, this place is very efficient, and their vacuum cleaners work great! I especially love the extra narrow nozzle attachment that makes it easy to vacuum between the seats. They also sell towels for just $1 if you need one. This business deserves consistent five-star reviews. Thank you again to everyone who helped me and made a stressful situation so much easier! read more

i've had a membership for Speedwash since the $19.99/mnth days and I'm just now finding out that if you have it, you can go to any one of their various locations. BIG PLUS. this location is pretty quick - but i also got there at the perfect time. by the time i was exiting the wash the line was out the lot. it's fairly small, if it's busy you'll be waiting a bit to vacuum your ride. wash was okay - doesn't really get the big spots with dirt and debris that might be a couple days old. the vacuum suction was mid - i feel like the one at their Silverlake location is stronger. read more

Olympic Speedwash - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Do you like wasting your time? Do you like hand washing your car? Do you like paying for a towel to hand wash your car after paying for a car wash? If you answered yes to any of those questions then I highly recommend coming here! For the rest of us, don't waste your time coming here--because you'll waste a LOT of it. How much time? Well first you'll wait in a very long line to go through the car wash. Then after going through the very short car wash, it won't wash anything off your car. You now have the honor of paying for a towel and handwashing your car yourself. Woo hoo! Wait. "Didn't I just pay for a car wash?" You ask incredulously. Yep, but it doesn't wash your car. Typically it takes two attempts for anything substantial to happen. And they won't let you go through a second time. Instead they tell you to open your wallet and put a little elbow grease into it. Which you could've done at home. Yay! I also enjoy paying for services I could've completed at home. That's the end of the fun part of this review. The rest of this is going to be context as the astute will have noticed this is my third review. Read on only for context. It all started one fateful night when I came here to wash my car using the coupon they had generously given me after I was dissatisfied with my last washing serval months ago where they wouldn't let me go through the tunnel one more time and insisted I pay a second time. I went in expecting to use my coupons. They gave me two. However, upon arrival I was informed that the coupons were expired. Very funny, I know. I was also laughing. Luckily, the guy manning the pay machine was cool and said he'd honor one of the coupons. I genuinely appreciate that he did that. I went through the tunnel, they forgot to fold in my mirrors so they were being whipped all over the place, and lo and behold: the car was not clean. There was bird poop and other stuff still on the car. Just like old times. I asked if I could run her through again. The other attendant said no. He told me to buy a towel and give it the ole elbow grease. He then wildly told me that he knew about me. I stared at him. I then pointed out that I was content never coming back to this establishment and that the manager had asked me to change the review and encouraged my return. So here I was. And yet, repeat it with me: Nothing. Ever. Changes. I talked to the first guy and he was cool again and gave me a towel free of charge. I then spent probably the better part of an hour to an hour and half handwashing my car. Sadly this is where the fun ends. The review is complete. I recommend you stay far, far away from this establishment. There's a reason they have a 3.7/5 and are dropping like a rock. Listen to the bad reviews, they're very real. read more

They lowered their monthly subscription rate which is a plus but a huge pain point is still the vacuum area. I've noticed cars taking 20-30 mins in the vacuum area today, people sitting in their cars on their phone, or brining personal cleaning supplies to clean the interior of the car or their windows instead of using the vacuums. A couple cars in line left out of frustration. I think management needs to make the sign with the suggested 5 min time limit more noticeable. read more

Nothing speedy about this place. They need to do a much better job of enforcing the time limit on vacuuming, which results in significant delays for everyone. read more

I was pretty disappointed with the service, especially for the $25 price. The drive-through wash didn't even remove all of the dirt from my car, and afterward we had to wait for a spot just to use the vacuums. To make matters worse, the car was left with noticeable water stains. For $25, I expected a much better wash and overall experience. Unfortunately, I don't feel like it was worth the price. read more

I have used this car wash many times and have no complaints about the equipment or the staff at the car wash. The inconsiderate people who spend forever at the finishing area do not know how to be polite enough to only spend 5 minutes. It is NOT a detail area, and customers abuse the privelege provided by the car wash. Unless they institute a time limiit for the spaces, they will lose my business and many others. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS....please read more

Yes the line is long, yes it's awkward to wait for the vacuums and air dryers, yes the wash will not remove all bird poop or dead bugs, particularly on your windshield and bumper. However, for $15-$30 per wash depending on which option you select, it's hard to beat the deal. Just bring a towel to wipe off some stuff that didn't come off. You'll walk away with a shiny car and a clean floor. Pretty good deal for a maintenance wash, and you can get it detailed when you want it perfect. read more

The quality of the experience was dim. Car was not adequately cleaned. Too long of a wait and line to vacuum. When I showed the attendant how my windows were still dirty...his response was that's what you get for basic :(((( I just left feeling underwhelmed and a semi still dirty car.... read more

This is after paying for their most expensive option. Disappointed. Still so dirty. Surprised still so much dirt read more

Olympic Speedwash - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's fast, I'll say that. Literally came out dirty still. Barely touched the back of the car at all. Back window still dirty, bright work not at all cleaned. Free vacuums were a nice draw, too bad there are way too few, no apparent time limit and they seemed unconcerned that people were basically camped out doing their own self-detailing while others waited. $29 bucks to have basically a half-a$$ wash. Live and learn. read more

I got the $17 single wash and it was ok, it did what I needed to do. It is a very cramped small lot for the amount of cars going through. It's a tight turn into the lot and also another tight turn to get into the wash. There's only about 6-7 vacuums and not much space for cars to wait for one so then cars end up blocking the entrance/exit (once they run out of space for cars to wait for a spot to open up you just need to leave). People are fully detailing their cars in the vacuum spots and can be occupying a vacuum space for a very long time, there are signs asking for customers to be courteous but no enforcement. If they can hand out handheld vacuums for customers waiting to help move things along that could be helpful. There needs to be a better system of enforcing the time limit policy for the vacuums as unfortunately people will ignore a sign. I skipped the vacuum as I didn't want to be sitting in that small lot for 30-40 mins, it's not very speedy if you need to wait around that long. Felt like i didn't get the value out of the wash completely due to that. read more

Best drive through car wash around. Easy and cheap for $15 base. Free vacuum after as well is a lovely plus. Never a super long wait. read more

I went here regularly for a few months because their membership was $19.99/month, but I have cancelled and will never come back for a few reasons: 1) They have increased the membership pricing - will likely help decrease the wait that extends into the main street but -- (read on) 2) My car was never truly washed and had to take it to a detailer who would hand wash for the same price 3) There were many times no employee was at the pay station or to help the flow of traffic for the vacuums (people cutting other cars yikes) Sure, there aren't a lot of car washes in LA so maybe you'll settle here because it's close but just know you will be wasting your time and money! read more

Decent high speed wash takes less than five minutes to run through 1776 a month for the rest of the year for unlimited washes can't beat it.

Quick wash yes, but yellow spots and dirt remain there after wash, just don't expect too much from a quick wash

This place works for me every single time. Great vacuums and the electric powered car wash is really good. My car emerges clean every single time. read more

I was nearly involved in a three-car pileup that resulted in damage to my doors. In this car wash, vehicles are spaced close together track just to move the line faster, which is risky when there is zero staff monitoring the tunnel. While I was still being pushed forward by the track, the car in front of me actually came off the tracks (they took their car out of neutral too soon) and I was headed directly into them. I was laying on my horn the entire time, but since no one was watching or listening to hit the emergency stop, I was forced to first brake and then accelerate off the track to avoid a collision in both the front and back from the person behind me. It was during this evasive maneuver that the wash equipment scratched my car. This entire ordeal could have been prevented if they had simply spaced the vehicles properly or had an attendant actually watching the process. I reached out to the manager to address the repair costs for these scratches but did not get a response. I highly recommend going to a one-at-a-time wash where you aren't at the mercy of an unmonitored track system because this place is completely unresponsive when their negligence causes you a loss. read more

I only come here for convenience. Your car doesn't get washed, only sprinkled with water. Look at the picture of my car after the wash. Car gets washed every week and the wash still doesn't pick up normal dirt. read more

Olympic Speedwash - Car after being washed. Still very dirty. This is just normal stuff after one week. My car wasn't that dirty. - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is not a very good place. It breakdowns often and poorly managed. It is busy and too small of a property to handle all the cars that come through. Not enough parking spaces to dry your car. Also people park in the handicapped spot who are not handicapped. The manager or workers do not ask the person parked in the handicapped spot (who does not have a handicap plaque) to move. Due to the short wash, my car does not get clean. I will not return here. Look for another place to get your car washed! read more

I'm giving five stars for the associates. Highly recommend that you come early in the morning! read more

I have been to many of these self-drive through and self-vacuum washes over the years throughout the United States and it's my preferred method of washing the car. No one wants dirty smelly strangers in their car using dirty towels. I can give you a great assessment of this one. On the first pass through the wash missed the back windshield and the front windshield. I pointed that out to the wash manager who inspected and quickly agreed that I need to go through again. On the second pass, it still missed the back windshield, but got the front windshield. After 2 washes it left the overall surface with light coat of dirt but got off the heavy dirt. Compared to about 30 different similar washes I have used over the years--this one was the worst. And I going to tell you why it was worst because I know a lot about the car wash business--they don't have the real estate here to have a Tunnel long enough to install competent wash equipment. They are stuck with a short tunnel because if they made it longer, cars would not have room to turn in or out of the tunnel. The turn in is already sharp and requires great skill from the loader. The equipment they are using is good if your car would sit still in the tunnel for 5 minutes like at a gas station wash while the equipment goes back and forth over the car a few time, but they are moving the cars through at such a pace that it's overwhelming the equipment and missing spots. There is nothing they can do to improve it without moving to another location. It is what it is--the tunnel is too small. If you come here expecting a good to great wash--you will be disappointed. If your car is covered in dirt and you don't want to drive to a better wash or spend more than $10 and just want to get the top dirt off--you may be satisfied but it may completely miss some spots and you will have to ask to go though again. My position is that I would only come here in an emergency--when I can't get to the better self-drive through washes in Hawthorne or South Bay. If I took my garden hose and sprayed down the car--it would turn out just as good as this wash. And as I have written about other automatic washes with spinning brushes--you don't bring a new car here--these are only for older cars that have scratches and blemishes. It will scratch up a new car and you will be upset. From a value standpoint--$10 for a wash here is $5.00 over priced. It's a $5.00 gas station car wash masquerading as a professional car wash. Regarding the vacuums. They are excellent if you can get near one. The first time though I got one of the 5. The second time there was a line of cars waiting, and while I did not need it--I could not have waited for one. Management needs to put up large signs like the other washes that say: "If someone is waiting for a vacuum, limit your cleaning to 5 minutes." I saw too many people drying the car, and not vacuuming. This wash is too small to allow drying--that can be done on the side street after you quickly vacuum. Some washes have an "enforcer" that makes sure you only vacuum and go--that's the only fair way everyone can get a shot at the vacuum. It's not an easy job, but someone has to be the "tough guy" (or woman) on the lot. And it's not an easy job writing these reviews pointing out deficiencies. I had high hopes that our neighborhood had a new great car wash at a reasonable price and was sorely disappointed and sorry to have to report. read more

Been going to this car wash the past 2years and always disappointing experience. The car is not clean. There are dirty spots, stain spots, smudges. It has some shine yet the car is not clean. Prices are not worth the value and they get keep raising the price. The cycles are too short and inefficient. Don't waste your time in long lines. Get a bucket, dish soap, microfiber towels and a good glass cleaner and be happy, read more

Insanely good deal! Pay $20 per month and wash your car as many times as you want. You stay in the car as you go through the car wash, and then you can use powerful vacuums with very long hoses to clean the inside of your car. I didn't end up buying the monthly plan, because I rarely wash my car, but this business is well thought out. Everything is in excellent working order. read more
