They offer anything from a quick drive thru wash with a hand dry after, to full details. We know many of the employees have washed & detailed very expensive cars and know they'll take extra good care of ours. I recommend Philthy Philz Car Wash for anyone who is looking to change locations or try a new wash.

My car hadn't been washed since Christmas (3 months!) so it was baked on dirt. Car was spotless and attention to detail was great. I can usually find something they missed at a car wash, but this was honestly perfect. The guy used to be on Pearl St. nice location too to go grab a coffee or lunch at Nautilus Tavern. They have a great comfy waiting area with a tv, and massage chairs. Definitely found my new regular place! Oh and I believe every 10th wash is free?

The bad: my tech was late by about 30 minutes, and then I did notice a few spots that weren't cleaned like by my wheels. Also, I'm not sure what it is but they left a really unpleasant smell in my car? I thought they would leave an air freshener or something but either their cleaning supplies or the leather conditioner smells weird and it's taking a while to clear out of my car

Detailers are conssitently late because the scheduler does not plan properly. 1 hour late on a car wash with no update. Car wash is okay.

Great pressure for wash/rinse. Overall, I think it's a decent value and you get to be in charge of how clean your vehicle is. My only recommendations are: 1) Let us know how much time each of the options on the Credit Card machine relate to. I've kinda figured it out, but I haven't seen any pricing details...so kinda a hit or miss for choosing the right time option. 2) Would be nice to have EXIT ONLY signs on the side of the bays looking at the alley. I've had a couple people try to sneak in when there were people waiting who entered via Garnet. 3) I think over time, the hose lengths for the main sprayer/Brush have reduced a bit (maybe as they fix issues). With a full sized car, it's getting tight to get around the car to all the nooks and crannies. So maybe get some longer hoses...and NGL, I hate the coiled up hose...thankfully I only need it for my wife's car that comes in once a month. But overall, much better than other self serve washes I've visited throughout SD/OC.

I am glad I tried this place; I have been coming here ever since. I get the $14 wash, and it does a good job. They also have two staff members hand-dry your car after the wash. The vacuums are strong, and the staff are not strict about time limits. Just be mindful of others if there is a line. Enjoy washing your car!

Justin at Plaza Detail is honestly on another level. I've had my car detailed before, but this was…read morea completely different experience. The attention to detail he has is almost superhuman -- he notices things you wouldn't even think to look for and somehow brings your car back looking better than when you first got it. Every inch of the interior and exterior looked perfect when he was done. What impressed me the most was how much pride he clearly takes in his work. Justin walked me through what he was doing, pointed out areas that needed extra care, and made sure everything was done the right way instead of rushing through it. You can tell he genuinely cares about the final result. My car honestly looks brand new again. If you want someone who treats your car like it's their own and somehow manages to deliver superhero-level results, Justin is your guy. Highly recommend. Great Value too!
