Papa's Car Wash is such a vibe and it's in a great location! Papa's Car Wash is the quickest and most efficient way to get your car cleaned within minutes. When you enter the car wash, you are greeted by 2 friendly staff members and are handed a dash wipe towel + air freshener. They look like they are enjoying their time as well! The staff always have a smile on their face and are happy to be there (If you see happy workers at any establishment.. something may be going right/good!). The car wash itself takes about 3-4 minutes to go through and they have vacuums located on the left side of the area. Overall, papa's car wash is the most accessible and convenient car wash you'll find on Maui. read more

Papa’s Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

I used to love this place... when it first opened it was great, the staff would pre-wash with pressure; car used to be cleaned properly; dry cloths were handed out and a dash wipe. Not anymore. Despite the prices going up significantly, the staff are playing around- they don't shoot down the cars like they used to... it's been years since a dry cloth was handed up for the most expensive wash, and recently no dash wipe given. Not to mention my car comes out unclean. It's awful. I will not be going back. I miss Hashi's.... Now that was a good car wash. Please rethink this business model, this is not okay. read more

This was great. Our oil change next door and tire rotation includes a basic wash Super that's all we need. Free read more

Papa’s Car Wash - I love this car wash!! - Car Wash Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

I won't be going to Papa's anymore, because the tops of my headlights are getting severely scratched by the brushing on my Lexus 460 sedan. I have enjoyed Papa's quick and easy car wash system for 5 years. Hope they can fix the headlight scratching problem. read more

I finally went here for the first time today with my dog and it was great. We really did need another one in town. Great carwash, great employees, great vacuums, very organized and clean vacuum area despite sharing their lot with the rental car place, I'm glad I went. I will definitely be going back again. Dog approved of it also :) Mahalo nui! read more

It was a good car wash when it first opened but it has slowly gone downhill. The prices have gone up but the quality of wash hasn't kept up and the car comes out not much better than when it came in. The so called Tire Shine doesn't do anything and the rolling brushes don't adjust for the back side of trucks. This morning at 8:15 there were no clean rags only dirty ones. And the vacuum was so weak it couldn't pick up anything. This isn't the first time it's happened but I'll try them one more time before I switch. read more

Papa's is Maui's newest automated carwash, having opened up in 2020. I for one don't utilize automated carwashes but my spouse does. We normally go to Maui Express Car Wash (at Maui Oil) but they were closed for renovations which is how we ended up here. Too bad for Maui Express as my spouse now prefers Papa's! PRICING: There are three price points which includes use of their self-service vacuums: Super ($11) - Basically a wash and dry. Premium ($13) - Adds wheel cleaner and tire dressing, sealer wax and polish. Ultimate ($15) - Adds surface protectant, ceramic fire bath and a good-quality microfiber towel/dash wipe and air freshener. EXPERIENCE: You could vacuum your car first but I'd suggest washing your car first as to not have the staff watching you like a hawk thinking you're gonna vacuum and leave, LOL. There are two lanes to pay via kiosks. Make a sharp right and you're at the carwash entry. The tunnel length is similar to Maui Express's but way shorter than Maui Soft Cloth (formerly Hashi's). A worker sprayed down the entire vehicle with a pressure washer then squirted on some kind of liquid onto the hood and windshield before sending us through. Colored lights came on from above, making you feel like you were at an amusement park ready to blast off. They feature the usual body panel-slapping and spinning mechanisms (soft cloth) and robust blower at the end. The blower didn't do a good job with repelling the water but there are two workers who wiped down the car with chamois. The car still had some bugs on the front and some bee poop on the side. And regardless of wax application, the body panes aren't silky smooth like a wax-on, wax-off job LOL. The vacuums aren't as powerful as Maui Express's or even our shop vac at home which was disappointing. You have access to two hoses on either side, both with different attachments (one was the skinny piece that can get into the nooks and crannies, the other with a flat head that's more for carpeted floormats). They're also on a timer which was annoying. OVERALL: Save the $2 and get the middle wash. While no automated system will ever come close to a hand-wash, Papa's lands in second place of the "big three" on the rock. read more

$18.00 and no dry towels. I asked. They could not produce them. There is no adult supervision on premises! (just kids running the place) Save your money. Not full service. Not much service at all..... read more

Super excited to have another car wash option central. I've been keeping my eye on this place for awhile. We came by on a Saturday morning and saw it was open for business. Everything is new, clean, clearly marked and worked great. When you approach the entrance, the menu is clearly displayed showing the car wash options. We opted for the works for $15. They had a special for $2 off that morning. It was touchscreen automated and you could pay with cash or card. As you approach the wash tunnel, your car is sprayed down for pre-wash and employees will guide you in. While in the wash, you can see the different stages of soap, wax and that the brushes and water pressure is really getting the dirt and grime off your vehicle. It was pretty cool to see that the undercarriage of the car gets cleaned too. The dryer upon exit was pretty strong and any remaining water droplets were taken care of by the two employees waiting to hand dry. When we drove to the vacuum area, each stall had to two vacuums. With both of vacuuming both sides of our vehicle we got the job done pretty quickly. Good suction, clean area and hand sanitizer pumps everywhere. Looking forward to the "Monthly Unlimited Plans" in the future. Thanks Papa's we'll be back! read more

scam!! unless you want to spend minimum of $17 for a half ass car wash do not even bother. it will either leave your car damaged or seriously only remove 40% from your car. not to mention it will aggressively impact your car mirrors, back wiper, and car paint. stay away!!! I'm also going to include the fact that this car wash has aggressively added exterior damage to my car scratching headlights, scratches on paint, and it truly amazes me it doesn't even get the bird sh** off. I'm so disgusted by the greed. I will be making sure to let everyone know stay away. Go to wiki wai, detail your own car exterior for $8!!! And you can get all the crap off yourself for half the price and no damage. So done w mainland owned businesses charging locals or anyone by this point, an arm and leg for basic needs. This is disgusting. Taking my hard earned money elsewhere now. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place for a quick car wash. We paid for the "ultimate" wash which was $15 I believe and I don't understand how it was $15 worth. Our hood and windshield wasn't scrubbed at all. Water & soap was poured on top of it but thats it. Everything else got scrubbed but what kind of car wash is designed to skip the front end of a vehicle? The workers here are really nice and hard working dont get me wrong. I am only unsatisfied with the car wash itself. read more

For a drive through car wash it is pretty good. It doesn't get all the dirt and bugs off but there is someone at the beginning spraying off your car and attempting to get a few of the spots off. It's nice to have the vacuums available at the end of the wash. Wish the vacuums were more powerful. It's also great to have the rags after the wash to dry the car and try to get off problem spots. I also use them to clean the interior and the rims. read more

Great place to clean your vehicle after TURO rental. If you do car wash, the vacuum is included, which is really nice.

What happened to your great service? Have gone to Papa's since you opened, but today no Ice Wax after paying for it. Reported it to person in charge and told to go through again. Same result. Is equipment broken or just empty? Very disappointed Sue Sindelse Kihei read more

Living in the dust field that is known as Kihei, it was time for a wash! I had been keeping my eye on this place, waiting for it to open and was happy to see when I drove by today that they were! It was not busy, as I was the only car in line. There were 2-3 other vehicles that were in the vacuum bays and 1-2 cars came through while I was vacuuming. This allowed for ample space to "spread out". Of course, on a busier day things could look different, so keep that in mind. They offer the 3 standard washes: Super ($11), Premium ($13), Ultimate ($15). They give your car a good pre-wash spray to knock everything loose. With a limited time in the actual wash, it's asking a lot of a machine to do all the work, so this is a nice touch. They also hand dry your car after you come out of the wash! This scored big points with me. There are 11 very large vacuum bays and the suction is exceptional. This could be to the fact that they are new and there is less wear and tear on the machines, but I appreciated only having to go over each floorboard once, instead of three times. There are also two different attachments on the vacuum, standard and crevice to get in between those seats! The flow of the parking lot is set up well and thoughtfully. Unlike the other wash in town, there are clear entry and exit areas which eliminates the confusion of cars waiting to pay and cars waiting to vacuum in the same line. Their prices are $2 higher per wash than the other facility in Kahului, but I think they are worth it. The easy in and out setup, oversized bays that leave plenty of room for your doors to be open, strong vacuums, and a hand dry will keep me coming back. (Edited as this posted as a 4-star review and was intended to be a 5-star.) read more

Good car wash with nice employees. I like the monthly membership. The membership lets you wash once daily for $49/month.

My go to car wash location on Maui. I bring at least one car weekly for the past few years and never had any issues. Free vacuums and microfiber towels to use if available. Quick service , good value! read more

I have used this car wash several times on a couple of different vehicles. Most of the time the wash is pretty good there have been a few times where areas like the back of the vehicle and some of the lower areas of the vehicle have been questionable or still dirty. I always pay for the top of the line wash so it should be the same it is not like I have taken a truck covered in mud. It is usually a 4 door mid size car to small to mid size suv. I notice it seems to do slightly better with the cars than the suv. I also like it when they have the people to wipe down your car when you exit. So that is a plus. I would say if your car just needs a refresher bath this a good car wash it is also conveniently located if you live upcountry and or Paia or east Maui area. read more

Easy in & out of car wash before returning rental. Liked having the vacuums there too. Needed a windex rag or something to clean inside the windows. read more

Unfortunately I won't be returning to papas ever again. I asked my gf to have car washed and upon her return, I am hurting to see scratches all over the hood with some deeper than others. I own a brand new Mercedes and this is unacceptable. Heed my warning and know your risks when using this car wash. I will be going to Wiki Wai car wash from now on. read more

This is a brand new car wash that's in the new extension subdivision where some of the car dealers have moved it has brand new brushes FYI this is not a touchless car was, and brand new equipment it uses a kind of vending machine system the washes go from 11 to $16 we chose the middle wash now this is a really weird thing to tell you but we drove through the car wash and has disco lights and when you pull out they actually shammy down some water spots in your car for you and there's looks like there's an excellent vacuum but we didn't have time to do it there was almost no waiting and we drove home the funny thing is I haven't actually looked at the car since we drove it through the wash so I don't know how good the wash was but the process was great and I would recommend going there I'll use it myself and I'll use the vacuums and I'll do an updated review but so far I would say I was satisfied with the purchase we made read more

Papa’s Car Wash - New car wash in Maui - Car Wash Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Yes Yes Yes. Certainly beats the falling apart Maui Petroleum wash that couldn't wash OR dry a car if their lives depended on it. The new wash, across from the new Safeway has just three or more employees. One to guide you in and two to DRY any water spots the blowers missed. $11. $13. $15 dollars. Vacuum yourself with multiple hoses and nozzles. I'll settle spending a bit more for a system that actually washes and DRIES my car, instead of being told for months "we're working on it. Yippee read more

Expensive for a terrible job and the vacuums don't even work all that great. Ended up washing my car again at home. Wasted 15$...should have just paid my kids for a better job. read more

After they opened, I read reviews about the vacuum being too weak. Yesterday, I bit the bullet and gave it a try. Who knows, maybe those previous reviews was being exaggerated. So, I was impressed at first because they pre-rinsed my vehicle before entering the car wash. So far, so good. I parked to the side and I grabbed the vacuum and it was bad! There's 2 suctions. One is for flat services while the other is for hard to get to spots. The suction was HORRIBLE! I informed the worker that was checking the vacuum areas and he said there's nothing they can do about it. Yep, I'll never go back to this car wash again. I prefer Maui Express Car Wash, they're not as expensive and at least they're vacuums fits in any spot and the suction is 110% better than this spot. At least, I gave it a shot but it's a waste of money if you can't get a decent vacuum out of it. read more

I've been going to this car wash since they opened and it's been slowly going downhill in quality. Almost every time lately my car comes out with spots somewhere. I get it's an automated wash and not perfect, but I've been through ones before that have been around forever and do way better of a job. Sometimes there's still dirt on the car. It was nice having two people wipe it down after the wash, but there was nobody doing that today so everyone had to hand dry themselves. Nothing at the front before paying indicating that today. The vacuums were good when they first opened, but now they're terrible. Suction is ok at best, but it takes many passes to get everything; it doesn't really pickup sand anymore. The vacuum attachments are now popping off a lot and look really worn. Sometimes they duct tape them to keep them on, but that doesn't fix it and causes suction issues. Only leaving 2 stars because it's better than a couple of these on island, but that isn't saying a whole lot. It leaves much to be desired nowadays. The ultimate wash isn't worth it anymore, and I only get the middle tier for the underbody spray, but that doesn't seem good anymore, so going to go down to the cheapest option form now on. Save your money and just do the cheapest option, comes out looking the same as the ultimate wash now. read more

The benefit of Papa's is that it's incredibly fast, in a convenient location, and reasonably priced. When I go to the gas station I have to park the car and go inside to pay before I can go through the wash (and often there's a wait). Papa's has an automated payment machine that you pay as you drive through - you can pick the type of wash you want and immediately proceed to the wash. They also have staff to towel dry your car after you're done. From payment to wash completion it's under 5 minutes. They also have tons of free vacuum stations and give you cleaning cloths for the interior of the car. Definitely recommend if you want an easy wash! read more

Their machines will rip off your mirror, strip off your trim, and damage your car. Absolutely avoid this place at all costs!

This used to be my favorite car wash! The staff is friendly and the wash was fast. I took my car to get the $18 ultimate and then went home to dry it since the vacuums are subpar. I was so disappointed. It missed the whole middle of my back and front of the car. I came home and had to give my car another wash. Felt like wasted money especially since I used to recommend them :( read more

The car wash is okay but does a poor job removing bugs on the front end and side mirrors. I also tried to book a alignment online but could not. I even called to book the alignment nobody answered so I left a message and nobody called me back. I do like the express oil change and tire rotation and have returned 3 times for that. They need to be more efficient returning calls and answering the phone (I did call during business hours) Also figure out how to get the bugs off the cars. read more

Aloha, I have been to your car wash several times already and have not been able to purchase a unlimited plan. Workers keep telling me that it is not available at this time. You have a sign as you enter the car wash that says, "Monthly Unlimited Plans Available". How can you say you are not selling them at this time. I have been waiting for years for a car wash to open up that offers a monthly plan. I looked online and it says on the papaswash.com website that I can purchase a monthly unlimited FastPass online. If I do that are you going to honor that for me? read more

Visited this business last week Friday. Two cars ahead of me, no real wait time. A few things I would maybe suggest is when accepting payment, let the driver know how to position their vehicle to get on the track instead of blindly trying to do it and when the track will start to move so can put vehicle into neutral and for larger vehicles push mirrors in if they are able to be turned in. That way when the brushes go by the sides, it doesn't force them back in the wrong direction. Otherwise, good service overall since no more Hashi's. read more

What a great new carwash for Maui! The employees are very friendly & the service is great. I appreciate how the spray the car off first which really helps get the dirt and debri off. The vacuums are also amazing! They have great suction. Definitely coming back again. read more

Low quality car wash. Purchased the top level wash and had to run through twice. On second run through employees entered a different wash code and received a lower level wash with no pre application of soap before going through brushes. A danger to your vehicles paint and a disappointing job at best read more

Went to try them out on there half off car wash testing day. All I can say that it wasn't a good experience. Some workers wasn't wearing face mask. Your car doesn't get pre washed like hashi. Left lots of water spots cause it doesn't dry good. The tire shine gets sprayed all over your car. The worst part is that I paid for the ultimate car wash. I didn't receive all the services that was listed on the menu. Was false advertising. They kept saying it was a half off service day. Well put a dam sign that says you will not receive all the items listed. I can't wait for Hashi car wash to open again read more

Papa’s Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Our Prius needed to be washed, so we drove through the $15 wash. It was not worth my time or money. Overall, the "wash" missed 10s of spots around the car. The "wash" missed whole sections of the lower driver's side of the car. I ended up having to wash it again for my wife at home. Take your car to Wailuku or Maui Oil; otherwise, do it yourself. This was a total loss and I suggest taking your business elsewhere. read more

Not the best wash I've been to. The 2 girls who "dried" my car with their towels did a very poor and unmotivated job, that's for sure. They definitely look like they wish they were working somewhere else read more

It's amazing a car wash comes to Maui and vacuums can't even pick up sand out of your carpet I tried multiple ones they just don't have any suction I will never be back read more

Paid for ultimate carwash $16 . Didnt even get the poop off the windshield much less rest of the car. We just hand washed it a few days ago so really we were going for the vacuum which had terrible suction. No worth a penny...a back breaker because vacuums were so bust. read more
