My car was extra dirty, with the rain, pollen & and recent snow trip a wash was definitely needed. The guys here at Sonoma Car Wash did such a great job washing & drying my car, they were even able to help get some pesky sap cleaned off from having parked under a tree. $18 is a little pricey for an exterior wash only, but I'm very grateful & satisfied with the quality of the wash & how quick they were able to get my car cleaned. read more

Sonoma Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Sonoma, California

I'm sitting in line trying to calculate how much the car wash is worth and they're running a deal on five for $100 and so I really wasn't thinking and I paid for the initial car wash and then as I'm in line I think OK how much are five car washes in the Guy says $100 so I had already paid him $20 and so I gave him another hundred dollars thinking I was gonna get my $20 back and when I asked for it back what do you mean you said you never gave me $20 I said no I gave it to you right there and I just gave you $100 more to pay for the tickets so fearful that they're gonna damage my car during the wash or something else out of spite I just kinda let it go, but this is just ridiculous. It's 20 bucks. If they can't cop up to it they're still getting paid so the guy pocketed 20 bucks. I hope he feels good about it, but I'm gonna give the tickets to wait to somebody else it's not worth it. read more

Been using this cash wash for 20+ years employees are rude will never go back i will drive out of town if I have too.

I was in search of a car wash after the drive up from LA left a bug graveyard on my windshield and front bumper. Theses guys did a great job for a quick hand wash. It was not as good as if I did it myself but for the cost ($18) and the time is was perfect. Two guys hand wash and rinsed with a pressure washer, then you go through an automatic pressure washer, followed by a guy who dried the car. Last thing I wanted was bug splatter cooking into the paint all weekend. I'll definitely use them again after a long drive into town. read more

My car was filthy. Pulled in here, it was quick and easy. An employee began pre-washing my car, then guided me through the touchless car wash, then another employee gestured me forward and hand dried my car. It was fast, efficient, and well priced. It's my "go to" car wash when in Sonoma. read more

Well, they do a great job but are getting well out of hand with the prices. Just went up to $18 which is ridiculous. I always leave a tip but it is not reasonable to pay so much. Biggest issue is that they tried to upcharge me (Small Subaru SUV) because it was extra dirty (just got back from a long road trip) telling me it would take longer. BS. they do the hand wash but shove you into the automated space as soon as it is open. No way in hell they would have taken longer or done more work to clean my car. I left. That is BS. read more

Perfect car wash! I will be going back regularly. The two men who hand washed my car (one to wash, one to dry with power wash machines in between) worked SO hard and were fast as well. I tipped both of them, especially because both were "seniors", friendly and accommodating. I greatly admire their work ethic. Next time I will fill up with min. 8 gallons of gas across the street and save $3. Normal price is $17 and this is less than I pay on the Peninsula. I hope everyone in Sonoma who needs a car wash will choose this business. Great job! Devoted and hard working people! read more

Went to this car wash while I waited for my clients to finish dinner but to my surprise it's operated by credit card the wash is timed but what I thought would be about $6.50 ended up costing me ten. The wash keeps charging your card until you push the button to stop it ??? Ok learn my lesson thanks. read more

Best car wash I've ever been to! Great attention to detail and super fair price at $18 for an entire exterior truck wash including a bug removing spray! read more

They have now raised their rates to $17.00 which is getting close to the one across the street that also cleans and vacuums the inside of your car. With tip you are at $20.00. read more

By far the best car wash in town! A friend who lives in Sonoma recommended me this place after we took the weekend off to explore Shasta. They did a really thorough job! I was really impressed with the job these guys did! And it was only $14! Unbeatable! It had been a couple of months since I got a car wash and my car had accumulated dirt and dead bugs around. Because I live in Santa Rosa, Sonoma was a bit of a drive for me to just get a car wash. I yelped car washes nearby and went there instead. I paid $27 there for a crappy job! They didn't even get the dirt off where it was clearly visible! They didn't even bother with the bugs! I was super upset. I had to spot clean myself when I got home. I left my car unwashed for another while and decided to return to this place. Condition of my car was the same as above-- dirt and dead bugs. $14 and ~15 minutes later, my car was looking new! They spotted and cleaned off the dirt and bugs! If this isn't great service to you, I don't know what else to say. These guys work hard and do an exceptional job. Will definitely recommend to other people! & will for sure drive down for another car wash! The only thing I'd make note of is: bring a couple dollars in cash to tip these guys! You can pay with cards but there's no option to tip on the receipt. read more

Low water pressure on wand in far right bay. The soap didn't really lather up as well as I expect but it did wash a road trip van off of 4,000 miles of dusty roads. read more

I generally like this car wash. I appreciate that the Machinery works well and there's soap in the lines. I just wish they would clean up a little bit more it's always filthy. Maybe they should buy a broom. read more

Sonoma Car Wash - Dirty. - Car Wash Near Me - Sonoma, California

See all

I was a bit wary about using them based on some of the previous reviews but my car was filthy, especially the interior (like a snow globe full of dog hair) but was very satisfied with their cleaning. I have no hesitation in recommending these guys and gals based on my own experience. read more

The people here are very nice with the exception of the woman helping do interior cleaning. Extremely rude. I had never been to a car wash before and she had a great time pointing at, laughing at, and talking about me in Spanish(which I speak fluently). I felt like a complete fool for giving a very generous tip before this very rude and embarrassing encounter. I don't give a shit whether or not the car looks good after having a crowd of people talking about and laughing at me. I hope at the very least I provided some entertainment but this will be my first and last visit. read more

Wash and Blow, not just a salon term. $7 for a simi hand wash, automated spray and wash then blown dry. Not sure what else to say other than it is a good $7 car wash. read more

Great place for a hand wash for your car. Next door to the other car wash, but I noticed that the cars in line for this place were bmws, caddies, Porsche so decided that they knew something I didn't and got in line with them. $11 gets you a one man soapy hand wash of car and wheels/tires power rinse then into a mini automatic car wash, blow dry and out to another guy that hand dries the car and dresses the tires. It would've been five stars for an interior window cleaning. Good job! Hope their "help wanted " sign gets results, only 2 guys makes for a long wait but its worth it read more

This place is great. Not to be confused with the drive through one. Go here instead of the one at the turn of highway 12.

I took my brand new black Mercedes there for a wash. My car has only ever been in my carport, never touched by anyone else. The car is scratched all over in swirling motions from their hand drying process. They won't refer us to the owner or manager, and won't take accountability at any level for this. A BRAND NEW CAR scratched all over, the car wasn't even fully cleaned. I am going to the BBB with a complaint, and I am going to contact 7 on your side to pursuit the car wash to either repair my paint using their insurance. I should not have to use my insurance and pay my deductible over this mess. I am going to tell all my friends in Sonoma not to use this car wash. Not to mention, the poor people who work there in over 100 degree conditions, with no shade. The owner of this car wash needs to be accountable. read more

Service was absolutely awful. Their line system is a total mess and after waiting for 10 minutes, someone cut us off. There is no explanation of where to line up or anyone helping to organize the chaos, so for first time visitors, there is no way of knowing where to line up on busy days. Will not be back. read more

CAUTION! Make sure the individual with the credit card reader does NOT leave your sight with your credit card and BE SURE and get a paper receipt of your transaction! Twice this year the "cashier" went inside to process my credit card and strangely, I never got a paper receipt. When I went back to questioned the kid, he gave me someone else's receipt and then actually gave me cash back after he realized he was caught cheating. Decent car wash otherwise! read more

I was very unhappy with this car was today! the brushes were durty so when you go to was your car your getting dirt from another car on the car your supposed to be cleaning, the soap was not even soapy there were no suds and when I got done my car was just as dirty as when I started, the prices were raised for what to dirty your car at the car was. there are only 2 do it your self car washes in sonoma and at this point I wouldn't take my car to any of them! read more

Hand car wash including wheel treatment and drying for only $12. Quick, clean, efficient. What more can you ask for? Sonoma Car Wash is my car's new best friend. read more

$13 and they take credit cards. It's 100 degrees out here and these guys are working their butts off, definitely deserve a raise. Would like to be able to add a tip on my credit card, wasn't planning on coming and didn't realize I can only tip with cash. Definitely beats the chevron or 76 drive through car wash and the price is comparable. read more

I used the self wash. Nice feature that you take credit cards. Got my charge today for washing my SUV. $15. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Price on dial said $5.85. read more

Dude.... $8 for a hand wash then you go thru the machine wash!?!?! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.

You get one hand wash and one pressure wash from a machine for only $8. These guys work hard. Please tip.

Quick, efficient, and car came out really clean! Nice work, would use again if I were in the neighborhood!

Quick and easy. They do a hand wash first and then the quick wash. I think they could charge more for the job. Well done!

This is for the coin-op car wash, not the hand-wash. A couple of months ago, I put $5.00 in the change machine and received no change. I filled out a refund slip provided by the attendant. Never heard from the company. Since that experience, I always have dollar bills, so I only risk losing a buck. One month later, lost a dollar in the change machine. Lack of maintenance on the change machines and non-existent refund system - really a rip-off. Definitely deserving of a 1-star rating. read more

Wow! I've never been to a better car wash! The guys thoroughly hand cleaned my car before it went through the automated touchless wash and then hand dried it! Incredible value for the cost. I just wish Sonoma were my hometown so I could go to this car wash all the time. read more

I do not know what to think of this place except that they are failing to protect their workers while they wash their customers' cars. What kind of owner is this? There should be a shade of some sort to make their jobs a little easier, don't you think? I will not be going back to wash my car there until I see this changed. read more

Sonoma car wash offers a quick and efficient service at an affordable yet fair price. I do hope that one day they will offer interior service as well. So far they yet do a bad job. Keep up the good work guys!! read more

No soap in wand. No alert for time running out. Just take $10 and throw it in the trash. You'll save time and frustration.

Quick, cheap ... nice guys and they did a good job. We had a black rental and had been driving for quite a few days and it was nice to be in and out for $8.00 in 5 minutes with the dust knocked off. read more

Does it well and with a smile. Exterior only. Detail awaits the car afficionado. Buffs for the buff!

It is a combination wash with hands and machine, which is okay. However after the wash there were a lot of water spots and there is no cleaning/vacuum inside of the car. You have to use self operated machine with coin slots with additional $1.25 at the same location. I have had much better $8 hand wash inside & out. The car wash is fast so if you are in hurry trying get out side of a car kind of cleaned on the run it's okay. read more
