I like to write reviews for the tons of good people and places who are worthy. But... sometimes I have to vent. "Sparkling" Image Car Wash (SICW) needs to step it up big time. I'll try to be brief. I was excited to get my brother's car washed at a quality car wash. I borrowed his car to see a friend and spotted SICW. GREAT! I never mind spending the money when it's worth it. I asked the attendant to give me the straight scoop and he said it will be a great wash. Ok, I said and paid the $39.99 for the works. Keep in mind, I've never paid over $25 for a was so this was extravagant for me. After it came out, and they did their thing, they called me to the car. I handed the attendant a $5 tip. I was about to get into the car and noticed the door sill plate was dirty. I asked for, and received a rag, and started to wipe it down. Then, the more I looked, the more dirt I saw. Ok, let's get it straight, I'm NOT expecting full detailing, but I am expecting a simple wipe down. I found all the door areas and the back hatch were NOT clean. I wiped everything as best as I could and headed out. As I'm driving down the street to the freeway, I look down and the floor mats had loose dirt on them. They didn't even vacuum! Sorry, but for $40, I expect it vacuumed! I turned around and went back. The attendant said he's sorry and he will fix it. I waited while the workers vacuumed again. I Jumped in, and without giving it more of a once over (mistake), I headed back. Much to my disappoint, when I got back to my brother's garage to drop off the car, I noticed that all four rims were filthy. As if they took a rag, ran around each rim quickly, and moved on. Really?! The only way I will ever go back is if they give me a FREE car wash. The only caveat is that I won't tell them when I return. Reason? I'll see how they do, and if it's the same as last time, this review will receive a scathing update. I suggest you keep driving right on by. I'm sure you can select any other car wash and the result will be much more "sparkling" than this excuse for a car wash. Sorry, but it's the truth. To cleaner days ahead. read more

I had a really disappointing experience here. The car wash felt rushed, and the car still had dirt, water spots, and streaks after they were done. The interior cleaning was also poor, with dust and debris left in obvious areas. They don't care! read more

Been coming here for over 10 years and they're the great. I take advantage of buying discount cards in November and makes it cheaper to bring cars in. They're always friendly and amenable. read more

I brougt my car to Sparkling image car wash from a long travel. I recommend Rambo he works hard to make your car look amazing.

When I first pulled in I was asked what wash I wanted, the worker was young and short in height. I rarely come here so I asked for the regular car wash and then said the cheapest one. Turns out he did not give me the cheapest wash. When I questioned him he said I should of said basic wash, I responded I asked for the cheapest one. I then showed him their board with pricing and asked him where does it say basic and what is the cheapest wash on here, not the one you gave me. I asked where his manager was and he walked away. I spoke with the manager and he acted like he couldn't do anything, he did tell me the short guy was making commissions on upselling. Avoid this place, there is other places to go. read more

Rambo and his team performed an incredible detail on my son's car. In less than two hours, they transformed a fairly dirty vehicle into "like new" condition. I will definitely be returning to this car wash for both big and little services. Thank you Sparkling Image! read more

I have been going here for more than 10 years and last week they cracked the windshield on my 2025 vehicle that can not be replaced for more than two months due to a national back order on the windshield and being a 2025 high end vehicle. They lied about it and stated there was no video available. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU CARE ABOIT YOUR VEHICLE!!!! read more

I came to get my car detailed and it cost $350 before tip. I try to get my car detailed every year and since I have 3 dogs that own the back seat, I want to keep my car looking new. Typically, I pay around $250 for both the inside and out to be cleaned in Agoura or Westlake Village but I decided to try this place out for the first time in Thousand Oaks. Boy, was it a hefty bill BUT totally worth it. My leather seats look new! All the tiny cracks, hidden corners, and arm/door rest was wiped spotless. There was a thick film of dirt and dust caked on because my dogs like to look out the window with their dirty paws resting on the arm rest 365 days and it's been hard for me to wipe up after them. Even after getting it detailed, no place can really remove it all the way - there's a sandy residue left behind, the dirts faded a lighter color, or it's looks dirty even though its been wiped clean. I was hoping that someone could really deep clean my car and restore it like new and Sparkling Image came through. I am so overjoyed and so thankful. It was worth every cent. I noticed that I could pay $250 just to get the inside done so perhaps I'll opt for that option more frequently so it doesn't pile on so thick with dirt & grime. My car looks so good, brand new with the outside waxed and the floors shampooed. Woot! read more

I went to this car wash for the first time with my friend that has a membership. I was pleasantly surprised. My car was washed pretty well and no spot was missed. Also they did a good job with the interior. Even though the car was was pretty busy, I didn't have to wait long for the wash. read more

Brought my car in because I just wanted it vacuumed , so I bought the package that says "full vacuum and wipe down" and that's literally all I cared about. They didn't TOUCH the backseat at all even. And I didn't notice until I got home smh such a waste of money... read more

I pulled up to the car wash with a huge brown water stain on the hood of my gorgeous McLaren GT! I thought for sure they were not gonna be able to fix it... Rambo, who works here and specializes in exotic cars fixed it within 30 minutes! It's like the stain was never there! This car wash does a great job!

Upon arrival, we rolled up, chose our menu selection, then kindly requested our windows be treated with extra care. Considering how busy this location was, we did not wait as long as I had anticipated. The wash was a reasonable price and we were pleased they did a great job .. especially the windows ! All in all, great job and I may return to have our other car cleaned, as well ! Sorry .. no pics this time.. . Cheers ! read more

No issues with the service or how long it took to finish the job. However, I do have two issues. First, they removed my magnets from the outside of my car and didn't replace them or put them in my car. Small thing, I know, but still inconsiderate. The bigger issue is that I need to take my car in to the dealer to have the charger port access door fixed. I charged my car up before I went for the car wash, and now it's jammed shut. Just be aware if you have a plug in hybrid or an electric vehicle that it appears some staff there don't know how to handle that kind of equipment. read more

I usually go here and honestly had a membership and it's always OK for what you're paying for but lately and especially today I mean it was horrible. Do not come here. To the point we're honestly it feels insulting to be charged for what they did to my car. today they definitely lost me as a customer for life and will proactively say to people not to come here. horrible experience the interior of your car will not be touched even though you're paying for it . Do not recommend at all. Don't come. read more

Tried out Sparkling Image Car Wash in Thousand Oaks and got a pretty solid wash--my car looked clean and shiny afterward. However, the hand-dry part wasn't up to par. There was still quite a bit of water left on the car, which was disappointing since hand drying is supposed to be part of the service. I did sign up for the monthly membership, so I'll be going back a few more times. Hopefully, I'll see some improvement in the drying process. Good potential here, but consistency and attention to detail will make the difference. read more

I was here a few weeks ago because my son spilled a milkshake everywhere in my car. I came here and at first they said I'd have to do a full detail, which I neither had the time nor wanted to spend that much money. The manager Neiche (not sure how to spell) came over and saw how distraught I was. The milkshake was dripping from my steering wheel and inside my air conditioning vents and was pretty much everywhere so she called over another manager named Rambo and he said not to worry and pulled it into the detail garage and 20 min later it was like it never happened!! He was so kind and did a fantastic job!!! I only had $10 cash and he wouldn't accept it. Not only did he do a fantastic job cleaning all of it, but did it all at no cost!! I couldn't be more grateful to the both of them for taking such good care of us!!!!!! read more

At the check-in, Rude and bad service. I ordered the $36.00/package. They didn't vacuum the passenger side and when I caught them the woman manger' argued that it had. At the finish, didn't air dry the driver's side but said he had, Wheels still had brake dust and were not thoroughly cleaned. I feel I have to 'police' the entire process, start to finish to be confident I'm receiving what I pay for. I'll be happy to discuss further if anyone in management cares enough to follow-up. In the meantime, they've lost me as a customer. So disappointing! read more

Excellent service by the detailing department. Rambo cleaned up a mess that another detailing service made with my windshield. I highly recommend this business. read more

Probably one of the worst car washes ever it literally looked like they just poured a bucket of water on your car don't go here

Last week I was a few blocks away from my auto mechanic when my car engine stopped working. I was able to restart the car long enough to get the car to the mechanic. I had just picked up $300.00 in cash (in an envelope) and had placed it under the passenger floor mat behind the driver's seat. As I have full faith in my mechanic, I had absolutely no worry about leaving the envelope where it was. The following day I picked up the car from the mechanic. To my surprise, the car had been washed which was an unexpected surprise. When I got home, I lifted the floor mat where I had placed the envelope, and was shocked to discover it was gone. I immediately called the mechanic to inquire who had washed the car, as I assumed he had someone do it in the area next to his shop. He informed me that he wasn't allowed to wash cars at the auto complex, but he had taken the car to Sparkle Image Car Wash just a block away. I told the mechanic that the envelope had been stolen, and he seemed genially upset by it. He told me that nothing like this had ever happened and that he was going to the car wash to review the recordings from the security cameras. Afterward he called me and told me that he had viewed a recording but didn't see anything unusual. As I really don't know if he understood where to look on the recordings, I called the car wash three different times, explained what had occurred, and requested to see the video recordings for myself. The first two times I called, I was told that the "manager" would have to approve it, and that they would call me back. Since they never called back, I called them again for the third time. This time, I was told that they were NOT WILLING to let me see the recordings. What kind of business participates in covering up a crime committed by one of their employee's? I am disgusted with their lack of ethics and decency! If I had known that the car would be taken to the car wash, of course I would have removed the envelope before leaving the car with the mechanic. However, this does not excuse the management of the car wash for acting unethically. If there really was nothing to see on the recordings, then why not let me see them! I will NEVER take my car back there and will make certain that my mechanic doesn't either. read more

I'm reading all kinds of reviews of how they damage vehicles and today I fell victim. They broke the side panel on my driver's seat and then the horrible manager denied it and blatantly lied to me. I have come here for a couple years but that ended today. They would rather lose a customer than be honest. read more

Wash attendant was rude. I wanted to ask some clarifying questions regarding the tiered offering and he was pretty dismissive and then quite obviously just tried to offer the most expensive option versus listening to my question and answering it. Decent wash though and the rest of the staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Not sure why this place has such a low rating. I've been washing my cars here for a year now and never had any issues.

They were awesome, efficient, and my car looks great. I bought a new license plate holder because mine is cracked so that was a bonus errand accomplished. read more

Coming on here to say had the best costumer service!! I lost a gift card and a very helpful employee was able to look up my gift card purchase with the credit card and I used and issue me a new gift card! Will be giving this car wash my business! read more

I have been going to Sparkle image car wash for many years...Rambo is amazing detailer highly recommend!

After my last awful experience in every way 3 years ago, I decided to give this place another try since Westlake Carwash closed. I hate to give bad reviews. I did come during a busy time at 5:00. First of all, the cashier was so unfriendly. Please, if you have a job, just be kind to people. If you're having a bad day, fake being kind! After my car was washed they pulled up 4 cars after mine and worked on those first. Really? It sat there for 20 minutes without being touched. I get brake dust on my 2 front rims, because they are high performance tires. I wanted those cleaned so badly, because I have injuries that don't allow me to bend. The finished result? Water spots all over my car, barely wiped inside, and the rims were sloppily wiped with scattered brake dust left. They look awful. I tried to give you guys a chance to redeem yourselves. Pics to follow... and I'll NEVER return. Hey manager or owner! Read your reviews on here, because I'm not the only one complaining! read more

My local car wash is slowest ever. My car took 35 minutes after vacuuming to enter the washing process. 15 minutes sitting after with nothing done. Total $30.00 basic wash and an hour wasted. The job was average. Better going to gas station drive thru. Lost a client with 3 cars read more

Great service, friendly staff. Joel is a great manager, highly recommend Sparkling Image in Thousand Oaks.

My car never comes out clean and full of water that doesn't get dried from the car wash. They have towels but the towels are soaking wet so of no use. The windshield never gets dried of spots. And my head light got damaged read more

I've been a monthly unlimited regular car wash club member here with two cars for at least 7 years, or rather I think it feels like a decade. I'm recognized as a regular obviously with the staff, and they are very friendly and thorough with my cars. I can't complain about anything because they do such a great job. Yes, I can be particular, and on rare occassion I've had done ask for this or that, and I believe one time One of my cars had to be put through twice. However, I think if you come in regularly then it's easier for them to maintain your car in pretty good shape. I've come in with my Mercedes, Volvo, and in the past we had Toyota's, and other makes over the years. Never a problem... Nothing that couldn't be fixed. Hard working staff who are always friendly, polite and nothing goes missing from my car. In my center glove compartment I keep a few dollars handy, often times I have change which is always still there. Yeah, the staff is consistently honest. Of course I don't leave real valuable stuff, no gold bars or a bundle of $100 bills?... That would be just plain irresponsible on my part. So I can recommend this place easily with a well-established history. Five stars here is well deserved. read more

I've been washing my car here for over 10 years. The service is always high quality, and the staff is always very friendly. I want to do a special shout out for Rambo, who recently did a great job on a complete detail for a used car we just bought. read more

Had my 1956 Chevy belair detail by Rambo. The entire experience could not have been better. The detail was absolutely spectacular. Could not have been happier.. I believe Rambo treated my car the same way he would treat his own car. from now on, I'm skipping all the expensive detail shops and taking all my cars to Rambo. Thank you so much.rambo 10 stars from me read more

They always do great work, if you're not satisfied they will fix it. A very high volume place, the team is working in the sun, be sure to tip for good service! read more

I don't do 1 stars. I've given this place many opportunities over the years but here we are. If you have 45 minutes for a mediocre car wash. This is the place for you! After watching cars come and go while mine and others are ignored on the line AGAIN. And the guys who sell the washes just shrug their shoulders when asked "what's up" is the final straw. The guys out front work hard but things are consistently missed and when you bring it up to them they shrug and refer you to the ticket guys who offer to run it through again which will take another 30/45 minutes. They no longer let you ask for cash for tip at the register and instead direct you to the ATM for an additional atm charge. It's a shame. This place used to be very good. read more
