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!

Been going here for at least 15 years...So easy to use, and good options for which type of wash you…read morewant to do. Brush is soft, so doesn't leave any swirl marks on paint. 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.

First off, I couldn't even use the card because the reader at the turnstile wouldn't read it properly. Thankfully an employee rushed in to bypass the system and activate the gate to allow passage to my vehicle. Nice dude! It was "free", but this was my last dance with any automated drive-thru car wash after trying all the ones that have been cropping up in the area. It's always *something* that threatens damage to my car... here the mechanized brush about punched one of my side mirrors clean off. Thankfully, it only punched it out in the opposite direction and, thankfully, without ruining its functions and safety features. I forgot how inconvenient it is at the Soapy Joe vacuums... only a single nozzle on one side of your vehicle. It's a hassle having to snake that thing through to the other side... The complimentary car freshener also smells like a dude and makes your head hurt. Easy enough to exit, but you can only enter if you're going North on Convoy. All this to say... if you have somewhere to hand wash, just don't risk it with these drive thru washes! Had to remind myself of that, but thankfully nothing too drastic happened this time around.

The employees, including management, have always been professional, calm, and respectful whenever I've interacted with them. Staff are trying to manage customers cutting the line, not displaying their membership sticker correctly, not following simple instructions for entering the wash, etc. During times like this we, the consumer, need to have patience for the employees that are simply trying to get us in and out of the wash in a timely manner. This car wash has consistently provided great service, hardworking employees, and a well-managed operation. I highly recommend if you're in the area you give them a chance to show you how amazing they are!

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service I received today from an employee named…read moreGeno. As a long-standing member of your car wash facility, I have consistently utilized your services for several years. Today, an incident occurred where a customer overtly bypassed the queue. While I typically overlook such occurrences, on this occasion, I chose to address the matter. Despite informing your staff, who were also witnesses to the event, the individual was permitted to proceed. This, in itself, was not a significant concern. Subsequently, I was approached by Geno, a manager, who mistakenly believed I was addressing your employees disrespectfully. I clarified that my interaction was directed at the customer who had cut in line, and that I was merely the individual who chose to vocalize the issue. Despite my explanation, Geno sided with the other customer. Upon returning to my vehicle, I closed my window, which Geno perceived as an act of disrespect. He then attempted to impede my progress, insisting I lower my window for him to scan the barcode, despite the fact that the barcode is scanned externally. It appeared he was attempting to assert dominance in the situation. After multiple refusals, I opted to communicate with the Spanish-speaking employees, given my bilingual proficiency. They were understanding and helpful, and I was able to proceed. However, before I could depart, Geno, the manager, further threatened me and stated that my membership would be revoked. I possess video and photographic evidence to substantiate these claims. I trust that management or ownership will address this matter appropriately.

There are always plenty of clean towels for wiping down your car and dash afterwards. Because it shares a parking lot with In n' Out it can be a tad nutty to get in and out of the car wash around lunch and dinner times. I go at least once a week and have to do a bit of scrubbing on trouble spots after a basic wash but because of the special promo price when I joined the monthly membership is definitely the way to go for keeping our new car fresh and clean.

They said my car was done 5 to 10 minutes, I didn't think much of it with 2 men I figured maybe that is why. As I was driving back to work I noticed the cup holder was untouched and obviously not wiped at all. The dashboard, side doors, and multiple other areas looked untouched. For that price, not acceptable. There were no other cars there at the time, so no excuse for the lack of basic attention to detail. This was my second try, and it will be my last. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone expecting a thorough job or even a basic interior for what you're paying.

As I drove down Friars I missed the first entrance, turning instead at Riverdale as Maps directed. There's a second narrow entrance on Riverdale. There was a slight traffic jam there with cars exiting and me coming up the drive. But I finally made it to the wash entrance. The crew was friendly and help with selecting the type of wash. But as you drive in there's a very tight turn into the tracks into the wash. The colorful lights flash as you drive through, then select a parking spot to dry off any remaining water and vacuum your interior. Since the prices are the same, I think I'll stick to my usual SJ location on Miramar. It's a lot more spacious.

Baby needed a wash!!…read more Stopped by Soapy Joe's Car Wash - off Friars Road on my lunch break and honestly...no complaints. The good stuff: - Easy access to/from freeway - Friendly attendants from start to finish - Surprisingly, not a long line during lunch on a Friday! (must be my lucky day!) - Fast and efficient - in and out within 15 minutes - Self-vacuum + towels included - Plenty of drying stalls so no rushing - My favorite part is when they hand you a free air freshener (love that Soapy Joe's smell hehe) - Attendant guides you onto the rail so it's easy peasy! No stress! - They have package deals, but I usually stick to the Magic Joe single wash. - 10 minutes from work so super convenient! - Overall, the setup is efficient and customer-friendly. The not so good stuff: - Employee mentioned this location isn't the most updated compared to others. - I noticed other washes had longer tunnels and slightly better brushes. - My car wasn't perfectly spotless. It had a few specks of dirt, but they wiped off easily with the towels provided. Minor touch-ups and nothing major. Would I return? Absolutely. My car deserves a spa day baby!

I used to go to the Genie car wash in the area, but it recently became only a self serve. I prefer…read morehaving a place where you can have it done, since there is a place far closer that is also only self serve. I live by the beach (and work at the beach), so as hard as I try, sand constantly gets in, with the salt air giving my car a beating. I decided to try the Rosecrans Car Wash yesterday when I was running errands in the area. When I mentioned it was my first time, the gentleman who greeted me was very kind and patient to explain the options. He didn't make me feel rushed or hurried, and I appreciated that a lot (I feel bad if I am holding people up, which is why if I find a place I like- I stick to it). The business has several options for exterior and interior, with side options for certain services, as well. It's a nice assortment, so you can tailor it to your needs. I also liked that you can be given cash where you pay to tip the workers, at no charge. I don't carry cash around often where I would have to go to the bank before going to where I went before (I prefer to give a cash tip to the workers). I think a business that has an option like this supports the workers, which makes me want to go here based upon that versus others that don't. As far as the service goes, they did a great job. No streaks or missed spots (before becoming self service only, the Genie in my area had gone downhill in terms of service quality over the 15+ years I went to the business). Towards the end, Genie had even scratched my car in several places, which was upsetting. Rosecrans did not damage my car in any way. After I left, I lowered my front side windows, which was on me and left streaking- but prior that that, my car looked great. I will definitely go to them in the future, and I would recommend them based upon my experience. Don't judge them on their simple outdoor waiting area- if you're like me where you care a lot more about quality of the service, this is the place to go. I don't often leave reviews, but I appreciated the way they treated me, and I value a great car washing place. Another aspect I liked was that they do a rewards system- if you go ten times, you get a free car wash. I've noticed businesses moving away from this policy, so the fact they do that shows they do show support to their customers. If you're hesitant, I truly would give them as try- I was, based upon their online rating, but it also shows they don't try to fluff their rating with false reviews (something that if businesses do, I have zero respect for). They are in a convenient location around tons of businesses, which makes it easy when running errands. They were fast, while being efficient, which was great (personally, I'm fine even if it's a longer wait, and they do a great job). I don't often do reviews, but I felt compelled to write one based upon the great customer service and thorough job with their services.
