I've a subscription here to keep my GX looking great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even when there is a long line, it moves quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wash is effective and gentle, I trust it to not scratch my paint. There are humans that do a prewash at the beginning so problem areas (like the back of an SUV) get washed well. They have clean and slightly wet rags and vacuum available for self service after the wash all included with the wash. For an extra charge they will hand finish the wash and they do a great job! read more

I have gone to this car wash several times and it is usually so good at cleaning my cars. The only thing that usually needs improvement is the drying towels. They are always so damp if not wet. Today though was a decline in quality. The wash did not get the bugs off my car and the blowers did not dry the car as much as it usually does. I ended up taking too much time drying the car by hand with the damp towels. I hope they fix these issues as this was the best car wash in terms of quality in Santa Cruz county. read more

I purchased the $40 membership, they wanna charge $30 more dollars to have the interior cleaned by the employees. Never have I been to a place trying to charge so much for such low quality service. No stars if i could, you have to go through the wash twice for it to look like it's cleaning the outside the water they have smells bad, the vacuums work if there's only a couple ppl using them but if it's full good luck getting a good vacuum to clean the interior. Then they wanna charge $3 per mat to pressure wash which only takes less than a minute??? They can't include that and then the tire dressing is put on very poorly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really terrible and that's not even mentioning how the employees talk to you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This owner below is trying to cover their tracks but the employee he has as a manager didn't try to make anything right or provide any alternative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only use this app when the service is so poor that I have to dish out unsatisfactory reviews as a result of wasting my time! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Needed a quick wash and decided to give Slash Car Wash another try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was able to obtain a free wash through the website so total bonus. Took a bit to get checked in as there were quite a few cars waiting to get washed. Once we got through the wash was good and we were able to find a space and made use of the towels, garbage can and vacuums. We will definitely be back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Manager called and was very sweet, apologized for the mediocre service and invited me to come back to have it redone[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you. That's good customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Greeter nice, friendly and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Convenient, fast and easy! Good experience. Drove off bright and shiny! read more

The drive through wash is good. The full service even better. Fast, efficient and job well done.

Really disappointed with my experience at Splash Car Wash. I paid expecting my car to actually be cleaned properly, but when I got home there was still bird poop left on my window that clearly wasn't scrubbed off at all. It honestly looked like parts of the car were barely touched. I understand places get busy, but if you're charging for a wash, the car should at least come back actually clean. Probably won't be returning. read more

Splash Car Wash - Bird poop - Car Wash Near Me - Capitola, California

This is a okay option for a basic rinse but not for any detail. spots on windows, no shine on exterior, got the ultimate wash and I get better at PM gas station. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The free vacuums and rags are nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the fact i can choose for a quick wash or wait while they do the windows vacuum and dust.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not to bad. But the spot free rinse, frade not. read more

Splash Car Wash - Spots on outside. - Car Wash Near Me - Capitola, California

I have only used the basic wash so I can't speak for other services but I am always satisfied with the outcome. It's an easy, straightforward process and they provide vaccums and towels for self-service cleaning with the basic exterior wash package. It takes me less than 10 mins to vaccum my car and wipe down any small spots missed and my car looks great. No scratches or any problem from the wash. read more

Wish I'd found out about this place sooner! I had an exterior wash and the interior cleaned. It's an amazing value--better than the mobile services I've used, which cost four times as much. This place is great read more

I brought my car here today after two road trips which left my car extremely dirty. The line was long due to the nice day. I pulled in so I could knock the dust off my car. The two men working the area where you enter the car wash took extra time to really make sure the bugs and other things that won't just wash off were removed before I entered. They spent at least two minutes or more. I don't know your names BUT I know that these two men put in effort that they could have easily just skipped due to the long lines of cars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Your efforts were very appreciated and I wish I could have tipped you! I thanked them both as I went in![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was on 3/28/26 around 12ish! You two need to be working together and upfront all the time! Please let them know I left this review and appreciate I was/am![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been coming here since they opened, and they've not strayed from that impressive first impression one bit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have had regular washes (the Shine Package is the best) and additional customized hand detailing projects. They refreshed our faded black panels, and they are still holding up great a year+ later!!! And the crew taking care of the interior today are killing it. Great work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My spouse and I always comment to one another about how everyone is always so polite here and helpful here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That means a lot to us, and others should take a lesson from these guys! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The gentleman named Neff, who works at Splash, was the friendliest and most helpful person.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Keep up the positive vibes and excellent service!! read more

I know times are tough and this was my first time at the car wash. I watched the car in front of me tip the attendant at the beginning of the wash and the attendant scrubbed the entire car before it entered the wash. I think he barely got my driver's side and nothing else. The back of the car is still dirty, especially around the license plate, which the hand brush could have easily gotten. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wasn't impressed and had I not signed up for the monthly unlimited before the wash, I wouldn't have joined at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They have like 10 spots to dry your car, the line funnels two lanes into one tight lane, license plate reader works half the time to open the gate arm. Tight left hand turn to get your car onto the track into the wash area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Worst designed car wash location I have ever seen. Unbelievable. Joined a week ago already ready to cancel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I started to leave four star, but went ahead and entered five because the pricing is good enough to outweigh a couple tsk tsk's. Drive-through works great and the pre-drive-through wash brush by attendant. I think improves the wash quality. My minor complaint is that at the end it sometimes will be signaling green to exit when it hasn't rinsed off all the soap yet. Or it will signal Red to stop, which seems to throw the car into a lurch. But the self clean stalls with vacuum are handy and if you just bring some rags with you, you can take care of any leftover soap or water on the back into the car pretty easily. The vacuums have good suction. So at a current $14 self wash it's worth it to drive 10 miles to Splash. I've also done the $38 basic full service several times and I've been very satisfied with that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I hope people tip appropriately as the folks seem to work quite hard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A couple times the interior had lots of lint and crumbs in the nooks and crannies and that's really when I want a full service. At intro rate of $38 for that basic full service I also find excellent value. That plus a good tip. Wish they put one of these in Watsonville. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I LOVE this car wash! Great service and super easy with everything you need to do the interior of your car yourself![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like doing the interior myself because I can get everything super clean. Very nice drive thru for the exterior. Rate A+ read more

Funky car wash you can do it yourself or have full service. Not bad, not great, it Got the job done.

I was in dire need of a (cheap but good) car wash cause I had driven 13+ hrs from Washington and there was a ton of dead bugs on my car. I was pleased to find this highly rated car wash not too far from me. They offer 3 types of washes--basic, shine, and ultimate protection. They also offer monthly memberships for the various types of washes which pays itself after two washes plus you get free vacuuming. Although it didn't get rid of all the bugs, I have to give them some credit cause the bugs were pretty caked on there. It was about time they were evicted; how dare they stay on my car rent free! read more

I had a positive first experience here the other day. I hadn't been since they re-modeled and re-opened and it is a very straight forward and peaceful experience. Everything is brand new, which feels nice too. The staff were extremely warm and welcoming and broke down the wash options very clearly. I wasn't inspired to vacuum myself so I ended up paying the $45 fee for them to do the work. While $45 feels pricey compared to other locations in town, I do think that there is a care and presence at this location that is quite noticeable. Considering how many days a year we drive our vehicles, $45 + a tip is actually reasonable to me. They offer an unlimited wash membership option that is appealing to me and I am considering it. I would recommend Splash! read more

Love this local family owned business. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone is always so helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I used the vacuums today and it was great. And the microfiber rags they supply to use as well are so helpful. read more

Wow! Amazing! $40 a month for unlimited car washes (one per day) is the best deal in the whole county of Santa Cruz for the quality of equipment. Entry scanner looks up license plate to prove membership and allows vehicle in without talking to anyone. This location has eight (8) self service vacuuming stations and a pile of clean microfiber cloths to use. If only there were more locations like one in Scotts Valley that offered this incredible deal. read more

Yep found my new place! They did a phenomenal job inside and out . Thank you! Yes yes yes . And if you want to do it yourself you can. read more

Our car was extremely dirty from coming over the Sierras the night before. We got the full service wash and couldn't have been more impressed. The car was sparkling clean inside and out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was probably the best experience at a car wash we have ever had.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Splash is the best car wash in Santa Cruz! Always a great job and friendly staff. While other car washes in the area have done downhill, Splash has managed to up their game! read more

I went out there today. NOT A GOOD experience. I Paid for interior and exterior cleaning. Ten minutes later there are spots on the windows and dust inside the car. Very, very shoddy level of customer care and concern for doing a good job. Talked to the main dude and he literally told me, "If we get every spot, we won't make money". Sounds like trump. Spotted watermarked finsih on the exterior of the car. Cest la vie. Lost a loyal repeat customer. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty good for a self serve car wash place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I used the self vacuum station though the hose on one side was broken but there was an accessible hose right next to it so my neighbor let me use it when they were done. i didn't realize they had drying towels until after I was done. I'd go back. read more

I want to thank the owner of splash Car Wash who took care of my car after an issue that developed after my car went through the car wash. They took responsibility and fixed it so beautifully. I totally would recommend this Car Wash to people. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I was very happy with them the first time I went but this time my car was still super dirty![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seems like they were in a rush & just did bare minimum despite paying for the most expensive option. As you can see in the photos which were taken immediately after, it's still very dirty. read more

I bought a membership online and guess I was the first to do so (new service they offer). It didn't work. I emailed them and for a solid week they worked on the issue until they could fix it ! they did and I couldn't be more happy. They also gave me an extra month for my troubles. outstanding customer service. The wash is great and my truck has a smile when leaving there. The staff is very friendly, please tip them ! read more

I am not going to say what the folks at splash did to earn this review, because I don't want anyone else to abuse their generosity. Let me simply say, a generous act of extraordinary customer service earns them my deep appreciation and continued loyalty as a monthly subscriber. I would recommend you do the same. :-) read more

Great car wash! After a messy winter, my car needed some TLC. They did a great job and made it look like new!

I paid 25 extra for seats and mats to be wiped down. These mofos didn't do it at all. Absolutely suck at their jobs, don't go here

Shout out to an amazing employee (I think he may have been the owner) and I'm sorry I didn't get his name! I accidentally backed into his personal car while leaving and then ran over his cone...I know, Im embarrassed just writing this. Completely flustered and riffling through my glove box for insurance paper work he dug the cone out and said "don't worry about it". Made my day! Thank you for being a good human. read more

Great service! My car looks great and there was absolutely no damage in any way! Vacuum and polish too!

First time at the new and improved Splash Car Wash. My car lives in the garage so I don't wash it very often, but it was just gross after a long road trip. I wanted a full inside and out cleaning and they did a fantastic job. Very impressed and it didn't take long, although I got lucky and pulled in when they were not busy. Very reasonably priced too. I seem to remember the previous place actually charged more, but I could be wrong on that. read more

this place is a bargain. The top level wash with with hand exterior from staff was tops. they do an excellent job at a very fair price.
