    Bird poop

    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.

    Spots on outside.

    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. The free vacuums and rags are nice. I like the fact i can choose for a quick wash or wait while they do the windows vacuum and dust. Not to bad. But the spot free rinse, frade not.

    Organized, friendly, fast, and efficient. The drive through car wash is a Willy Wonka hallucination trip.

    Is this a self serve car wash?

    Hi Melinda, this is an automated tunnel wash where after the wash you have the option of vacuuming yourself or having us do the entire interior cleaning

The main downside is the gas price, which felt pretty high compared to other stations in the area.

I was somewhat satisfied with the car wash. However, my car wasn't as clean as I would've liked it to have been. The good thing was that my car didn't get scratched by brushes. I believe that they need to make the car wash go longer. I also went to this particular station because I needed to use the restroom. I went into the store, and the friendly cashier gave me the key to the outside bathroom. I walked out to the bathroom, and when I grabbed the door knob, the door opened without using the key. I was feeling a little anxious about someone opening the door while I was using the toilet, but that didn't happen. The person before me probably didn't close the door completely when they left the toilet. The convenience store was huge with lots of items to buy. Outside, there is air for your tires, and you can vacuum your car for a handful of quarters. I was impressed that they had buckets with water and windshield squeegees--I haven't seen very many squeegees at gas stations lately.

Scheduling was easy, with good communication and follow-through. I wouldn't call it a bargain, but the price is fair for high-quality work that set me up for years of easy and effective car care. In a world where everything seems to go downhill and most companies cut corners on customer service and satisfaction, Beach Cities is one business that has maintained high standards and quality over the years. Thanks, guys.

    Initially, I had a great experience with Nate and his crew when they tinted my Mercedes Sprinter…read moreconversion van. The tint looked excellent, and I thanked Nate personally when I picked it up. Once I got home, I discovered significant damage on the driver and passenger door panels that had been removed for the tinting. The panels were pulling away from the door frames. Four clips on each door were either missing or broken. Three bolt-covering end caps were missing and the rest were installed incorrectly. A bolt was missing from the passenger panel. The plastic was scratched and jagged where it had been pried off, and the black rubber pillar window seals had razor-blade cuts. I even found a razor blade left on my seat. I contacted Nate that same day with photos and videos. He would not take my calls, but he did text to apologize and offered to repair the damage. He explained that his most experienced tech had called out and two younger techs worked on my van. I agreed to give them the opportunity to correct it. Days went by with no follow-up. After multiple messages, Nate said his expert tech had "fallen off the face of the earth" and suggested his "plastic guy" repair the damaged panels. I was skeptical, but he promised to schedule the repair soon. Then more days passed with no communication. At no point would he speak to me on the phone. After eight days, I went to the shop in person. Nate was not there, but his brother inspected the van and agreed the work was unacceptable, especially the cut window seals. He assured me they would make things right and said refunding the tint cost was the least they should do. A week has passed since then with no response. I had to take the van to the Mercedes dealership. They confirmed missing and damaged clips and improper reinstallation. They also said the damaged seals should remain watertight but are visibly compromised. I paid $350 for the tint and $758.13 out-of-pocket to have the panels repaired. The seals remain damaged. I genuinely liked Nate and his brother. Their shop is clean and they seem to care about quality. However, ignoring a customer after damaging their vehicle is unacceptable. There is another review describing a similar situation tied to personal issues Nate was having. That may explain things, but it does not excuse the lack of accountability. The tint quality was great, but if anything goes wrong, do not expect them to stand behind their work.

    On the fence about Ocean Honda. Have had issues with them in the past and always look my car over…read morewhen I get it back. Was reading a review of an Ocean Honda customer that put special marks on their wheels ahead of time as they were getting a tire rotation. They paid for it. When they got the car they noticed wheels in the same position. So before I bring my car in for some maintenance which includes a free tire rotation as I bought my tires there I cleaned a section of wheel rim. Plus, one tire has a silver valve cap the others black. I get my car back The next day I check the rim and tire. Wheels still in same position. Plus, no greasy smudge marks on the wheel spokes. Mechanic had also gone to lunch with :30 minutes worth of work remaining instead of completing the work. A 3 hour job took five and a half hours.
