This place is a godsend. After a few weeks here in PG, our car needed a wash, but we don't do…read moreregular car washes because we don't want micro-scratches. So off to this do-it-yourself place we went. It costs $1 per minute to use the sprayers, so you need to work quickly. The machine takes bills (but doesn't give change) and cards. We were to afraid to swipe our card in this outdoor machine, so we paid $10 for 8 minutes of the sprayer. We followed the instructions on which spray cycles to use (it's very simple and self-explanatory using their signage). We didn't come equipped with towels, which would've been ideal, but no matter. Our car still got clean for the most part, and it was with the $10. We will use this option again, but will bring towels next time. Note that the auto dryer is out of service. They also have vacuums you can use for a fee (we didn't).

Best option is the monthly car wash subscription since it's $25 unlimited vs $32 for one. I opted for the basic wash & loved the attention to detail. Between the marine layer, wet mornings, dusty fields near the roads in Salinas, & birds, my car was in need a good wash. My regular detailer charges $100 and takes about 6-8 hours to complete the car care. Del Rey Car Wash staff had my car for about 20 minutes max due to the high volume of dirty cars ahead of mine. I took a book & sat outside on a bench while the staff serviced my car. End Result = clean car inside & out without anything extra. I chose to avoid the fragrance because my car has no need for it. I'll return & splurge on the subscription next month.

Customer service here is always hit or miss. Jennifer, who takes the car orders, is always so kind,…read moreand the front desk staff are consistently pleasant and welcoming. Unfortunately, today I had an interaction with Enrique that was extremely disappointing. He was rude, harsh, and unprofessional. I've been coming to this place for years, so it was frustrating to experience such poor customer service from someone on the team. I hope management addresses this, as employees like Jennifer and the front desk staff are the reason I've continued coming back.

Car came out, I was watching them wipe it down.. then they said my car was ready.. I looked inside.. nothing was vacuumed! I picked up all four of my mats and put it on the seats to show them.. management came out to check.. I'm sure he was furious too! He told me to wait again, and took my car in for a second cleaning/vacuuming.. I was on my lunch break, this was a total inconvenience and time consuming! If the job was done right the first time.. no one's time would've been wasted! The time and effort that their employees put into this sucks. My advice for the businesses: have management come out and inspect vehicle and approving it before taking customers' money/letting customers drive off the lot. So many workers, but quality of work needs improvement. This could be a management issue.

I gave them a call because I had questions about ceramic window tint. I spoke with Gabriel who was very patient and super knowledgeable. I didn't feel rushed or felt like he was just trying to book a sale. Gabriel took his time and really explained the whole process and how ceramic window tint works. I booked my appointment and the service provided was top notch! Gabriel and his team did a fantastic job with the tint on my Toyota Tacoma!

I had the front side windows tinted to match the rear windows, and a light tint placed on the windshield to reduce UV rays and IR damage. The windshield tint is not noticeable and seems to be a common aftermarket installation; particularly in areas that get a lot of sun. During a very warm month of March, it seemed like it kept the interior cooler, putting less strain on the A/C. Gabe also applied PPF over the front of the vehicle and tailgate as well as door cups. It's nice knowing these surfaces are protected from rocks, and anything that could chip the paint. A lifetime ceramic coating was placed over the top of everything to promote a lasting shine and protection for all surfaces. This is the third vehicle that Gabe has provided this service for me, and he always does a great job. High attention to detail, dependable timelines and a fair price. His new shop in Marina is very nice and reflects his quality oriented business.
