I came in today, in desperate need of a car wash. I was helped by attendant, I forget his name but he was a tall guy, with glasses and brown hair? he was really helpful. I wish I remembered his name. but what made the experience so memorable was the way he. navigated me through the car wash. and showed me the most expensive package is worth it. that platinum was got my car looking so nice. that I decided to get the membership too. definitely coming back. A1 service. read more

Do not purchase a membership from here. It is almost impossible to cancel. I went in 3 months ago to cancel my membershjp because i was selling my car and they still have been charging me! Update: they have since apologized and refunded me for the inconvenience. read more

I visited this car wash a little over a month ago after recently moving to the Anaheim area. From the outside, the place looked very clean and well-kept, which gave me a good first impression. The drive-through process itself seemed fine, and I didn't notice any issues at first. However, after pulling out and starting to vacuum and wipe down my car, I noticed white chemical splashes all over--on the hood, driver seat, backseat, and even the trunk. This was extremely concerning, as those marks were absolutely not there before I entered the wash. I immediately spoke with the on-site manager, Axel Leo, to report the issue. At the time, nothing was really resolved, but I was told I would receive a follow-up call within a day or two. Unfortunately, I never heard back. When I reached out again, I was told by the owner that my car is "older," implying the damage might have already been there--which is simply not true. They have cameras that would clearly show the condition of my car before entering the wash. For reference, I drive a 2011 Toyota Prius that is well-maintained and in good condition. If they truly cannot service older vehicles, there should be a clear notice posted before customers enter. That was never communicated. The only solution offered was to buff out the damage, with no guarantee it would return to its original condition. At that point, I was already frustrated but still willing to have them try to fix the issue they caused. Again, I had to follow up myself just to get any response, and even then, I was told to come back later because someone would be trained to handle it. By then, I had completely lost confidence in their service. Thankfully, my husband stepped in and we handled the repairs ourselves, paying out of pocket. Overall, I feel misled by the appearance and service of this car wash. The damage caused was unacceptable, and the lack of accountability and follow-up made the experience even worse. Won't recommend anyone to come here. read more

I got my Car Washed Rapidly through the Express and I'm glad that Rapids Express Car Wash lives up to its name. I've been to this business about three or four times now and I have always come out with my ride clean as expected. Though my time communicating with the staff has been pretty limited, they've been very pleasant. There around four different levels of cleanliness and you can sign up for a subscription for unlimited washes with prices differing per level. I've tried both the lowest level and the highest level, and my car has come out looking like the main character of a show after a shopping montage for a first date with each wash. The vacuuming spots are incredibly spacious and I've never had an issue finding one after getting my car washed. They also provide complimentary disinfectant wipes for the interior of your car in case you're a depraved person whose car interior is splattered with unspeakable substances like a Pollock painting. read more

Rapids Express Car Wash - Entrance! - Car Wash Near Me - Orange, California

Really great service! Nathan and the team took care of me. Always friendly and very helpful.

PHENOMENAL customer service from Edith and Jhovani. Will be returning . Outstanding service from manager Axel.

This place is awesome. Prices might seem a little high but well worth it. We just signed up for a monthly pass. Great air pressure from air guns and vacuum great suction. Water pressure in the wash is what got my attention. Water pressure in car washes makes me feel great because you know it's getting cleaned well. A 9/10 for this place. Always satisfied. Even though it's a new place I hope they keep it up to par. Thanks Rapids Express Car Wash. read more

Pros: This place is conveniently located and never crowded. Cons: Machine needs to be adjusted. Too much soap dispenses, leaving way too much in car cracks and crevices! Music is loud. Overall: reasonably priced and quick read more

Great customer service! Nathan had all the answer to my questions. Was very pleased with my wash. All the equipment was in perfect working condition. Definitely stopping by again. Thanks again Nathan for your help! read more

I have a membership on two of our vehicles to Rapids Express. Worth the money. There are several locations and I can go to any of them, which is amazing and convenient. I love the number of vaccums are available. I've never had to wait to use one. The only waiting I've done is to get in line to have our vehicles washed thru the conveyor. I thought about going to other similar businesses and couldn't do it. Can't be the price, the service nor the convenience. Cleaniness overall. Thank you! read more

Quick and rapid car wash. I had signed up for a free wash online, but the prices for a single wash, and the monthly fees are very reasonable. I will definitely keep them in mind if I am in need of weekly washes. read more

Rapids Express Car Wash - Plenty of space! - Car Wash Near Me - Orange, California

I've been a member of this car wash since it opened. I often visit twice a week to wash my truck. I noticed this employee running around making sure everything was perfect on the parking lot. I went over and talked to her. she said her name was Jenna. so I wanted to give a huge shout out to Jenna, for being on the ball and making sure that everything was in order where you detail your vehicle. thanks to Jenna, this is one of the reasons I'm proud to be a member of this car wash. Keep up the great work. read more

Thank you so much Andy from Rapid Express! I was cleaning out my husband's work van and accidentally locked myself out of the van (with my purse, phone, and car key all inside the car). The car wash was about to close at 8pm so there was nobody around. Initially I didn't think of asking the car wash itself to help, was thinking about calling a locksmith or AAA. When I told Rapid Express I locked myself out of the van, Andy came out of nowhere with tools to help me open the car. He did it in 10-15 minutes, saving me time sitting in the cold and money. I offered to pay him tips and he did NOT want to take it. I was so touched I almost cried. Thank you so much Andy you're an angel thank you for staying late to help me - appreciate you so much! Will definitely keep coming back to this car wash for sure!!! read more

In general I like this location but my main complaint is the dry towel at the end doesn't ever touch my cats hood. I've spoken to a shift lead and they stated its a manufacturer issue. Very likely going to move my washing elsewhere read more

Nathan hooked us up with some excellent service! Always going to come here! Would recommend for a fast, easy, and helpful service!

My go-to for regular washes- straightforward pricing and great staff! Like that they have basic options for my basic car.

Nathan and the guys at rapid really took care of me today. Great service and a great wash!

I come here weekly for a car wash. I got my first month free and now I pay 20 a month for unlimited washes. There's usually not very many people and it's pretty quick! read more

Thank you Nathen and the team great work place always clean great customer service. Always great attitude

Crowded at peak hours, yes. Perfect wash & dry, no. The self serve vac and air is awesome, and as long as you go at the right time, they are cool with you taking as long as you want (obviously limited when people are waiting) but that's only fair. Two locations within 5 miles of my place, awesome. Great deal for price, absolutely. read more

I love the unlimited family plan. It is so convenient to drive through the wash tunnel and it does a great job. Then having the vacuum stations with the compressed air to blow out all those hard to dry spots. read more

Went through the machines with the least expensive deal. It did its job. Not the shiniest and sparkly but clean enough for my car. What set this place apart was that it's not as busy as other popular places and hence, there are plenty of spaces to vacuum afterwards. There's enough room not to bump into someone or have to watch your back not hitting the other wide open car doors. Folks working here were friendly as well. Recommended for sure. read more

**Absolutely blown away by the service from Axel and Andy!** Even though this is an automated car wash, the experience felt anything *but* automatic thanks to the incredible attention and care from Axel and Andy. From the moment I pulled in, Axel greeted me with a friendly, upbeat attitude that instantly made the usual routine feel more personal. He guided me in with precision, made sure I selected the right wash for my needs, and treated me like more than just another car in line. Andy was just as impressive--thorough, attentive, and clearly committed to making sure the whole process ran smoothly. He prepped the car with care, double-checked everything, and asked if there was anything else he can help with. It's rare to get such thoughtful, human-centered service at a place that could easily be hands-off and impersonal. Axel and Andy turn a simple car wash into a standout customer experience. Clean car, fast service, and two employees who genuinely go above and beyond. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend stopping by--and if you're lucky enough to catch Axel and Andy on duty, you're in excellent hands. read more

Beware! They sign you up for monthly service but then make it impossible to cancel. When you call them there is no response and if you go to the location asking for cancelation then they tell you to go to the website or write an email (no response for last few months). AVOID! read more

I went to this car wash after receiving a card in the mail for a free wash. The guy at the wash taped down the rear window wiper but did not move the antenna to the down position which I was unaware of. I drove through the wash and heard a loud thud. I had no clue what it was until I got home and realized what happened: the car wash tore the antenna clean off the car. I emailed customer service seeking assistance and received no reply. So god knows how much this is going to cost me to replace/repair because their employees are, apparently, not properly trained. So, one star because my car was clean but permanently damaged and I did not receive a response when trying to get assistance. read more

The one at Katella and Main in Orange is really good and has awesome and chill staffs. I appreciate Nathan and David and the rest of the staff for their honesty and taking their time of their day and finding something valuable of mine that one of the vacuums accidentally ate up. Awesome service. read more

G.O.A.T. Customer Service! Shout out to Eddie, Sal, Sofia, Nathan, Axel, Tony, Alex and Marvin for their AMAZING, above + beyond customer service! I had a high maintenance bike rack that they helped me with, also glued a part back on my roof and zip tied a plastic part that was loose under my car. Not only did they help with things that they didn't have to help with, but they did it happily and had fun while doing it! I couldn't ask for a better experience! Thank you everyone for making my day better by helping me with my high maintenance issues! You're all the best! read more

I signed up for their car washes before they even opened and was given a "founders" discount. By far the best car wash in the area, the staff are very friendly, and the process is very fast and efficient. read more

i've been going here for months , last week i vacuumed up my keys and they were so kind to get them back out for me ! def recommend this place read more

This carwash is super shady. Bought a membership months ago and suddenly the price went up without any notification. I emailed the company and they said they put a sign up outside the car wash as notification. This is so shady because what if I didnt see this or havent been to the carwash since they posted the sign? I cancelled right away. The carwash leaves so much water on your car its very mid. read more

I didn't need a wash, but something happened where I desperately needed to vacuum my car...I did the RIGHT thing by going to the office and asking permission...Emmanuel was so nice and kind to me and let me take care of my need...this is what I call caring about your community and having compassion...my visit was on 11/8/25...I hope I'm spelling his name correctly..let him know he is APPRECIATED!!! read more

I like to keep my cars super clean, but with the prices of the local car washes going up to over $25 plus tip, it was time to seek out a different solution. I travel through Orange a couple of times a week and noticed Rapids Express on Main and Katella being built. Once they opened, I checked it out and the best car wash is just $30 per month and includes unlimited washes. Yes, it takes a few minutes to wipe the minimal extra water away, but it's well worth it. The wash is great, fair priced, and the icing on the cake is the employees are all very friendly, helpful, and have sincere smiles. Highly recommend! read more

$22 for a wash basically no vacuum at all! You get 5 min of air wtf is that doing won't come again

Really nice car wash, friendly and helpful staff. Left my car clean and was not overpriced for a drive-through was. They have free vacuums with shade and they even offer compressed air to clean!! Love it read more

I paid for the highest tier, and the car was mostly just rinsed off. None of the added elements could be seen like ceramic wash. The pollen spots were still there. The car was not dried at all. It's nice that they give you a 50% off coupon for the next time but that's because the quality of the wash is very poor. read more
