Owner reached out and explained why I was (temporarily) charged $10.00. Appreciate the conscientious owners! Thank You! read more

I just needed a quick wash so I used the touchless car wash. Pricing for the touchless car wash is affordable/comparable to competitors. I opted for the $12 wash with 1 coat of ceramic. I'd probably try out the $18 wash with graphene next, just to see the difference with 2 coats too. For the self service bays, I believe there's about 5 of them along with a designated area for exterior drying/cleaning. There's lots of signage up to help guide customers and you can tell the place is looked after regularly. The vacuums were easy to use as well, the trash bins were a bit small though. Overall though I'm satisfied and will return to support a local family owned business :) read more

Received immediate response from owner explaining situation I've returned since then and had another wonderful car wash. Love this place read more

Finally got to try this place after looking for a while I went early Saturday morning they had a lot of bays available. I went in to use it had no trouble backing into the bay. They had a good amount of options to clean the car: wax, rinse, pre-soap wash, etc. the only thing was the only get 3 minutes for $3 so you may have to pay twice or more. They take credit card which is nice or you can purchase tokens using cash. After that they have a place where you can clean your exterior portion of your car under a small shaded building with outlet plugs which I thought were cool. If you don't wanna do the self car wash they actually have a touchless car wash you can go through with a dryer. They also had coin operated vacuums. It wasn't busy and there was someone there cleaning the place up which was really nice. I will come here again to wash my car! read more

What a nice find on Yelp! $3 to Start for 3 minutes. Like other self service drive up car wash facilities, refrain from using the brush and "pre wash" problem areas before turning on the system. It's clean and wasn't busy morning hours during the week. Great value and the pressure was solid! read more

Brushes so soft that they don't clean and the soap doesn't clean anything. They need to fix the issues with the blower too

This is my favorite self serve car wash! I come all the way from Elk Grove area now, used to drive from rancho Cordova or south sac where I work and it's always worth the drive. They have a spot in the shade to dry your car in without the sun and never have issues with the machines or payment process. Havent had to wait or had any problems here. Not ghetto or anything like that always a smooth good experience and good pricing! The best part is that you can wash your car yourself and then drive through the car wash area to dry only for a couple dollars or so. Saves time drying and less water spots. I have two black cars and it's tough to keep water spots away. Love this place. read more

Was over-charged/duplicate charged recently. Have been coming here for years. Last week for a car wash that was $3 to start +1min +1min ($5) was billed $6 on my credit card. Then a final rinse for $3 was billed $8 on my credit card. What's going on? read more

Really great self wash! Love everything about, price is reasonable to me and everything works great, only thing I would suggest to owner(s) would be maybe a larger trash bin for the vacuuming area? Not crazy but just a tad bigger. Sometimes I come in needing to deep clean and the small bins are full by the time i'm done w them :/ over all, great place! read more

I went in to do a self wash and used my credit card for the first 3 mins which was to be a $3 charge...wasn't don't in the 3 mins so charged another 3 mins for $3 l...instead of 2 $3 charges on my credit card I got charged $10...will never used this business again read more

Recently got back from a camping trip and my 18 foot travel trailer was literally plastered with squashed bugs. Took it to red's car wash, and it fit in the big tall bay perfectly and the spray wand with the different foam and water choices did the trick and it only cost me six bucks. Definitely taking my camper in to get washed there from now on. read more

This car not far from my house was a utter disaster how is anyone supposed to use the pressure washers and stuff my mom wasted her money with this car wash in general if this is going to be an issue regarding the problems with the equipment me and my mom won't be going back there anymore she wasted almost $5 dealing with the self serve bay and then you gotta pay for the towels and vacuums I'm not paying no extra money to use a machine to clean the inside of my mother's car seriously this car wash is a joke how the heck is anyone supposed to do anything if you gotta pay extra for the equipment or the vacuums nobody has the patience for that do not go to this self service car wash across the street from McDonald's i have never in my life have had to endure this situation nobody is paying extra money to vacuum the inside of their cars I'll stick to quickquack car wash at least i don't have to pay for the vacuums those machines are free and stuff these self service car washes will be having you pay extra for everything nobody has the patience or time for it they got other stuff to do besides waste more money on towels or anything else in that matter this is exactly why I hate self service car washes because you have to pay extra for everything I'm not wasting my entire time and day with something like that and aware more money me and my mom don't have the patience nor energy for it we won't be going to that car wash anymore that was the last strawberry for my mom she lost half of her money already she's not wasting more trying to start the vacuum at all if you're gonna pay for everything at that car wash I would seriously look elsewhere this self service car wash across the street from McDonald's isn't worth it at all imagine having to waste more money on the vacuums there no thanks I'm sticking to quickquack from now on this self service car wash is a joke my mom wasn't happy at all she got upset instantly I have never seen my mom get that upset at all this car wash is a waste of time and money and other stuff go find another car wash this one isn't worth it read more

I really like this touchless carwash option! I was recommended by the Folsom Toyota dealership to go to a touchless carwash since my car is new and black (can be scratched easily compared to other car colors) and found this hidden gem on yelp! I think this is the first one touchless carwash Ive seen in Sacramento so i was pleasantly surprised! I feel like it cleaned my car pretty well without having to scrub. The customer service is amazing! I'll be coming here more often! I just drove up to the last station (touchless car wash option), paid with your card (i used apple pay), and drove up. The machine will let you know when to drive up, when to stop and when it's done. Super easy and quick! I did see and read online that there will be $10 pre-approval even if you choose the $8 option. It seems like I was charged $12 for the regular $8 wash. But John contacted me and was able to resolve it! Amazing customer service!! Ill be back!! read more

Red's Touchless and Self-Serve Car Wash - Touchless car wash - Car Wash Near Me - Folsom, California

They did a beautiful job on my mobility van and I will be back because I cannot wash it myself

Got stuck inside the tunnel just as it was beginning. There was no one on-site and I tried calling every number I could find.......but no help! Very unpleasant experience. read more

I miss living in a house where I can wash my vehicle in my drive way at any time. For you apartment dwellers, Red's is a great alternative. The place is clean, the staff is friendly. I once had a staffer drop additional tokens to extend my wash. An added bonus, if you suffer from insomnia, you can roll up after midnight to wash your vehicle. I thought I had an issue after washing my car late last night when I noticed that my card sent me a notification that I was charged $10. Luckily, I came across this Yelp review that explained the said charge. I will have to monitor my card to see if I was actually charged for o only 2 cycles. Great service provided and if you ever monitor your location, I drive the black 328xi sedan. read more

When I used the car wash everything was great, I was charged a $10 credit on my debit, but only used $3 so $7 dollars was credited back. Thank you to John the owner! read more

This used to be my favorite place to wash my cars. I just wash today(touchless), and didn't clean anything!!! Last time I did by hand and the soap is just foam! And the brush was grease! Sadly this place is abandoned. read more

I visited Red's Car Wash for the first time, drawn by the advertised $3 price and self-service option. However, I was charged $10 for a regular wash. The pricing sign is very misleading. Or am I missing something? -- Revised. The $10 was a pre-approval fee. read more

Visited Red's today, for the first time, after taking my buddy's Range Rover on the Prairie City SVRA course. The thing was covered in dirt and the wheel wells were completely clogged with mud. The only way to get them unclogged was a power sprayer and a bunch of quarters. Red's has five self-wash wet bays, three vacuum stations, two dry bays (with power) and a touch-less wash/dry. The wet bays have separate brush and sprayer arrangements which are controlled by a knob on the control panel. There are are five settings, some use the sprayer and some the brush, as follows: Pre-Soak, Wash/Soap, Foam Brush, Wax, Rinse. Everything went well for us and we used about 10 minutes of paid time to remove all the wheel well mud and clean up the car in general. The pressure washer unit takes quarters and credit cards and there is a change machine near the vending machine but it only gives back wash tokens so pay attention. It takes three dollars to start the self-wash which gives you 4 minutes of time. There is a green button on the card swiper that will add one minute of time per press without needing to re-slide your card. You can buy a giant towel for a dollar in one small vending machine. More car stuff like Armor All and such is available in the big vending machine along with a few sorts of snacks and soda. Touchless wash has 7' of clearance. Menu as follows: Basic - $8 - Two-stage touchless wash Deluxe - $10 - Adds conditioner Super (Elite) - $12 - Deluxe plus Carnuba wax finish Super Blow Dry - $2 - For our self serve guests (65 seconds) It's hard to understand how I can be bowled over by an unattended car wash. I guess it's like riding in a Range Rover. It's just a very nice place to be. Everything exudes quality. The small grounds are very nice to look at (pictures attached) but it's the fact that everything works, everything is in good repair, clean, neat without any junk lying around. Even the signage and the switch plates for the spray washers were clean and bright without any fading. If you are looking for a self-wash and are anywhere near Red's I urge you to check it out. There are even places across the street to grab a bite and show off your clean ride. My advise.... go get dirty. read more

Car wash worked perfect. Appreciate the explanation about the 10 bucks. Been going to Reds since it was born.

ok car wash, got the job done. But I don't understand the pricing. I was in the DIY area. It says on the machine it's $3 for 3 minutes. I swiped twice, so figured it should be $6. But the credit card bill says $10. Why? read more

The past two times I tried using this car wash. The bubbles were barely seeping out of the brush, so I will not be going back again.

Not a bad car wash, but definitely left a bit to be desired. Pressure was good, but it seemed like there was barely any soap coming out of the spray nozzle. It was relatively clean, for a self-serve car wash. read more

Car wash got the major dirt off on the touchless. Don't expect perfection, but car looked better. I paid for the best setting to clean. About a 3.5 but rounded up to a 4. read more

I've been searching Folsom for touchless car washes, and Red's has been great. The property is clean, the touchless uniforms great job, and the covered wash bay is super nice to pull in and dry the remainder of the vehicle off after coming out of the touchless wash bay's drying cycle. For as low as $8 to as much as $12, it's a great place to stop in for a wash. I have yet to use the self serve bays or the vacuums, but they are available. Next time I stop in I will definitely use the pressure washer on some of the hard to reach places in my wheel wells and under the truck before I roll through the touchless. It's also nice that the machine takes card and Apple Pay... read more

This is a good self-serve car wash and it's in a nice area compared to most other car washes. The wash and dry areas were clean and looked like they were maintained. The pressure washer was powerful, almost too much. But if you need that then it works very well. It would be nice to have a low pressure mode, there is only full blast or a trickle of water. Maybe the washer was malfunctioning. There's only three covered spaces for drying your car, but to the right of it there are parallel parking spaces if it gets busy. note: The initial $10 charge that will show up on your credit card statement will be adjusted later to the actual amount you paid. read more

Weekend therapy. Touchless carwash. I have a Mercedes soft top convertible, to keep the longevity of the soft top and so no water sips through (just in case, not that I heard of that happening to any Mercedes top) I rather not go through quick and quack which I really like. I could have just wash my car at home but needed a strong water pressure to wipe up the weekly dust and bugs on my Benz. $3 bucks for rinse for 4 mins (wait is it the other way round), either way, price is good. I have my own space. The place is well kept. I used my card to pay. No hassle. I say if you're in town and needed a zen time away from work and clean car, go here. Its therapeutic. Bring your own towel, if not they sell them in a machine next to the coin machine and office. No need to bring cash for the wash, you can use your credit/debit card but for the 99.9 percent water vacuum, that doesn't take cards. Better keep dollar notes and quarters handy in case the coin machine is out of coins. Then again there are shops nearby, you might be able to get change. Brought my own towels to dry. The foam is good at cleaning the front bumper where most of the bugs get lodged and getting the tires all shiny. Free from black whatever accumulated during the week. I'll take picture today when I go get my car washed. read more

First time there today, nice and wide bays (easy for my truck to fit in) water pressure is outstanding, bay was clean, price verse time you get was great, I even used the super air dry after the wash and it did a great job of drying the truck!! Thank you For that Sir. Would recommend Reds read more

Great self service car wash! I love the Touchless machine, BUT the sign says $10 for the deluxe wash. For the last 3 washes, I was charged $12. I'd like a refund please, but no response to emails. ***I've updated this review to 5 stars. Very quick response from John. My mistake with sending email to the wrong email address. As I've said earlier, "Great self service car wash!" AND now, great customer service as well*** read more

I still come here often as it is on my way to and from work. The new management left a comment on my prior review so I figured to be fair I would update my old review. The place is much cleaner now which was the only issue before. So I bumped it up a star. Price/time = Good Water pressure = Good Vacuum pressure = Great read more

Honestly a great car wash experience. Many self serve places just take your money, have low pressure and are dirty everywhere. This place had high pressure coming out and the wax was a great finish. The cost is pretty standard as well. read more

I went here for the first and LAST time. The change machine did not work and the car wash took my money without turning on. I left there with a half cleaned car and went somewhere else. I emailed the company and they said they would mail me a refund check. Weeks later and still no check. UPDATE: I received my refund in the mail. Thank you! read more

Pretty disappointed in the touch less wash for $12. I feel like it just swished the filth around the exterior of my car. I had to hand wipe everything and still was just rubbing dirt around. Will not be returning. read more

The owner of the company John went above and beyond to remedy a concern I had brought up about one of the bays machines. He took the time to reach out, listen to my feedback and implement a fix to ensure nothing but the best experience at his business. This family owned location cares about the quality of service, you should definitely come here! I look forward to many more car washes to come in the future. read more

I'd much rather sponge wash my vehicles in my driveway. Nothing is better than a good solid hand wash. But, in support of conserving water, I'm all for using a location that collects/recycles spent water. The typical vacuum set up outside each bay. There is a covered carport at the back for doing detailing work that, at the right time of day, is shaded. This location has card swipes if you don't have cash (never done it - I bring cash). What I don't do (and never will) is use the soapy brush - you have no idea what someone has scrubbed with that before you (gravel, sand, etc). If I'm going to sponge wash at a self-service location, I will take the extra time to bring a bucket and sponge. I don't (generally) do drive through washes so I can't comment on the one at this location. It does look kind of narrow, though. What I like about this location: 1) wide bays 2) easy in and easy out read more

Very clean And well maintenance facility. Nothings worse than going to a car wash and feeling like your car is getting dirtier by using their equipment... This is not one of those places read more

**Edited based on Owner feedback. Improved from 3 to 4 stars.** I just recently added a roof-rack to my car and the roof rack installer told me not to go through a traditional wash: touchless or DIY only. So, I put in my $3 for the four minutes and figured out how to work the power-washer. (It's funny because the switch was engaged to "rinse" so it started pouring out as soon as I swiped my card.) Rinsed the vehicle (took a second to figure out engaging the trigger provides more water/pressure); then soap (took a few seconds for the soap to come out); then rinsed again...basically just under the four minute window. (I think it starts beeping when there is only one minute left.) Since I knew my car was really dirty, I decided to go through the "drive through" bay, as well. That was nice because after the wash that bay provides more "drying" time than I was expecting. After all the washing I then used a shammy that I had brought with me to wipe down my car. My car was still a little dirty so next time I will make use of the brush and/or will bring my own sponge, etc. Good: Price; fairly simple/easy to use; friendly business owner Be aware: Be patient with this *new* business/owner; It's DIY to keep prices down read more

The automatic car wash actually stopped mid cycle last time I visited but the owner John appeared moments later with refund in hand and turned on the self serve so that I couldn't rinse of the suds. Apparently first time the machine registered an obstruction without a visible object in its path. I'm sure that will get corrected, but important thing was John's swift action and great customer service. Thank you John! read more
