Canceled my membership today. It gets worse and worse as time goes by. All they do is spread the dirt around. You'll have to pass through a few times before it's clean. They don't maintain their wash machine nor do they perform any quality checks on their pre wash employees. Can't wait for the new car wash business to open up down the street. They have all the potential to be great but instead they just take advantage of us because they're the only option for a monthly subscription wash service. read more

The lack of professionalism at Splash N Dash is disappointing. During my recent visit, they shut off the vacuums 10 minutes before closing while I was still cleaning the interior of my car. When I asked the employee if he could turn them back on--since there was still time left before their posted closing hour--he refused, saying he would have to walk "all the way back" to the switch room. The switch room wasn't far at all, so the excuse felt lazy and dismissive. What made it worse is that there was no warning that they were shutting things down early. It's frustrating and unfair to people who show up on time expecting the services they paid for. If a business advertises specific hours, they should honor them. Cutting services early without notice and refusing to accommodate customers is unacceptable read more

Been a customer for years! No issues. Friendly service Usually very clean and efficient If something goes wrong, you can go through again. Not sure why people are giving low reviews. This place saves my back and keeps my whip sparkly. read more

Came here to grab a quick car wash as my car was really dirty. They had a great promo for joining their membership so I ended up joining. Car wash quality was to be expected of a machine wash. Definitely bring towels to dry your car. Vacuums looked like they went through a war. They are definitely in need of replacement. My Vacuum was partially clogged so had to work to remove the clog. I may check out some of the other locations to see if they are any nicer then this location. Overall for the price I got the wash for im not disappointed. Check it out read more

I went to the Bradley location with my new car and was having problems turning my windshield sensor off and the cashier was extremely helpful in locating where the setting was. the employee are always friendly I also g to the Clark car wash and have great service read more

I love that they are in my neighborhood and I can swing by on my way home from work. Yesterday, I stopped in and paid for the Ultimate. It hurried me through quickly and my car was still dirty when I was dumped out the other end, especially, around the wheel wells. It was like a complimentary quickie wash and not worth $20. I'd like to keep coming as I need their services but I can't justify if they won't do a decent job. read more

For a machine car wash, it's like all the others. I go here for friendly customer service, good value for the price and free vacuum cleaners. Santiago is extremely friendly. read more

This was the WORST car wash experience. It didn't wash my car good at all, nor did they scrub the front and back of my car even after going through the wash twice! read more

Worst car wash ever. First clue after the many other bad reviews was that at the entrance of the wash there are two guys with hand sprayers like at a self wash rather than a machine. Second problem, they didn't spend enough time hosing down the car before sending you into the machine that buffs and not washes more. Third the whole wash is too short length wise. Right after the buffers are the dryers. I don't know if Yelp will post my pics but if you can see them you will think they are the before pics, but the layers of dirt on the car are after we went through their alleged or so-called wash. We had to go to Costco later on our trip to get the car clean and the Costco basic wash got it done in one time through. So glad we paid cash and did not get automatically signed up for their subscription when we did not ask for it like other reviewers claimed. Bottom line, worst value not worth it avoid at all costs rip off business! read more

The staff at the Orcutt splash & dash are very friendly; however, when there is a complaint, you get thrown into a "the manager will get back to you" hole. Do not expect them to fix things they break. Do not expect them to get back to you, even if you go there in person, call them, contact them by email, or contact on social media. They just don't. read more

Good customer service and very well clean car.I got a great deal on my monthly washes

I had such a great experience thanks to Santiago at Splash N Dash. He was super polite, you can tell he takes pride in his work. Definitely appreciate his great attitude and excellent Service! Thanks Santiago! read more

If I could give it a zero, I would. Decided to stop in for a quick wash while out shopping. Our car was damaged during the wash so we immediately filled out a damage report. Manager hadn't contacted us after a week so we started calling. Very unresponsive. In the end he claimed it wasn't their fault and offered to provide the video proof--but never did. Witnesses in the car all agree. They are lucky we aren't taking this further. Salt in the would is that the actual wash was terrible. Cannot overly express how bad this place is. read more

Car was not cleaned initially and was charged twice to run through again. I was treated like a liar rather than a valued customer. Don't expect much... recommend to spend more elsewhere and get better car wash and customer service. read more

I agree with all bad reviews. They don't take brush to grill or back despite me asking for brushing all bugs poop off front and back. Never again splash n dash hense the name. The 6.00 car wash on Broadway scrubs front and back Highly recommend Give them tip they deserve read more

I wanted one car wash. So I pulled in and paid with my visa. I signed the receipt. Little did I know the guy signed me up for a membership. I had reacurring 26.99 taken out of my bank. I had no idea because I never went back. Because of the "Terrible job". I had no sticker. Nothing. They refused to give me a refund either know they could see I never used them again. Please pass this on to all your friends. read more

Attendants thumped their brushes into the car really hard without actually doing any cleaning. Didn't even touch the wheels. Must have been running low or out of chemicals, the automated wash didn't clean the car it just made stripes in the dirt. Went through the dryer with soap on it, dryer did nothing. Car was still dripping wet. Paid $14 for the tier with drying agent and the whole car is covered in soap/water spots. It looks worse than it did on the way in. Didn't even go around again because what's the point? Another pass through a poorly maintained wash isn't going to improve the results. Never coming back. read more

I wouldn't ever go to this car wash again. The employees are super nice but the car wash is absolutely trash. The vacuums are absolutely weak. I am only leaving this review here as a warning to try a different location instead. read more

I've haven't taken my car to splash and dash in a while. I paid for the deluxe had to have my car go through twice and still not clean. Bugs all over the front. Streaks of dirt on the side of my car even after the second wash. I noticed as I went through the brushes didn't even touch my back. Sad I just can't afford to take it to a real car wash they just charge to much. The plus side vacuuming is free. Maybe I'll pay my grandson to do it next time. I know he'll to a good job for me. read more

Today we visited splashing Dash on Kind of by the car wash where Cory is the manager. We have always been treated very very well. Today we drove in and the person in the picture said absolutely nothing didn't offer an air. Freshener didn't smile and I don't think that Corey the very sweet manager, who we tip Usually would appreciate things that go on behind his back. This is the worst customer service of the day. She was peeved because it was a little bit before closing time but when it says 6 PM car wash should still be running which it was, I seriously was contemplating that she might stop the car wash in the middle of, the car wash going. Luckily she did not. I got out of the car prior to going through the car wash and spoke with her asking for Corey and why she did not say or greet us like the workers usually do. Sorry this is such a long drawn out message, but she would never work for me read more

Splash N Dash Car Wash - A worker who should not work here. See above. - Car Wash Near Me - Santa Maria, California

I am satisfied with their service I do not understand why so many negative reviews. I have been using their service since they had only one station in Santa Maria, now they have 3. read more

The only reason I write a review is because I saw a big scratch on the trunk of my car I did hear the guys broom slamming down hard and I heard the wood sticks of the broom hitting each other, noticeable loud sounds of the brooms, as I was going thru I didn't want think much about it at the time until I saw the big scratch on the back of the car. Also the car still had bird poop and other dirt stuck to it like I didn't even wash the car, please I hope they be careful not to scratch, cars cost a lot of money. read more

Spent $20 and my car came out looking the same. It looked like I didn't even go through the car wash. They didn't even touch the front or back of my car with the brush. Very disappointed. Wish I could get a refund or at least what I paid for!! read more

Had to go through twice and still dirt on the car, spots left, not worth the money. I came here in between my normal car wash just for a quick clean and it did nothing. Also paid for the extra package which I did not get either time so if you pay for rainx and tire shine be warned, you might not get it. read more

I've continued to go here when I'm nearby in town. They did start wearing masks, and now with vaccination rates at what they are, and what we've learned, I'm comfortable with outdoor interaction sans masks. This is a good quick car wash. I do recommend you bring a towel, though, as their dryer still leaves the car pretty wet. But overall worth it for a quick run through. read more

I would not recommend this place for a proper car wash. We came & purchased the $14 wash. The drive through wash was way too fast, did not clean anything, soap was still on the car and water spots everywhere. Vacuums weren't the best either. We spent about 20+ mins cleaning the outside. Also, (our fault that we didn't) come with microfiber towels to dry with, there's a $2 charge per towel. read more

Extremely disappointed. Signed up for the Ultimate wash monthly and due to several circumstances had to cancel. Have cancelled now multiple times yet they keep charging me montly. Credit Card is able to reverse as owner does not respond. Going to have to cancel card to get it to stop. Sad as I was pleased with the service and their employees but to be ignored like this is totally poor customer service. read more

The dryers suck here! Hire someone to dry cars! Like literally my car is soaked when I come out like if your dryers don't work. I pay 32.99 for this car wash and it's annoying how I'm constantly drying my car because it's dripping water. read more

Came here for quick wash for a dirty car which was abused after a few days of non-stop rain. The place is tucked behind a Honda Dealership and could easily be missed. The staffs are friendly, polite, works fast and hardworking. The prices are reasonable depending on the type of car wash that you need. This place deserves only three stars because it didn't meet any expectations. The car was still dirty after going through the wash and they use rubberized roller washers rather than soft sheep's cloth which are better and causes less damage to the car. Overall, came here for quick wash and not for a full detail. The car wash does somewhat of a job and you have to work hard at the end because you have to spend time dry wiping all the left over dirt - so make sure to bring extra clean towels on your stop here. read more

Damaged my running board on my $220k vehicle and didn't care I Been using this Carwash for years read more

Wish I read the reviews before taking my brand new 2020 Tesla there. They obviously don't clean their equipment because my car came out not only dirty but with hairline scratches throughout the entire body of my car. I spoke to the attendant who recognized the damages and he stated that their car wash can do that to some brand new vehicles as I wasn't the first customer. He stated the manager would get in contact with me. It's been a month and he has yet to contact me personally. Very unprofessional and lack of customer service. I signed up for the monthly service which I quickly deactivated. *** I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOU CARE ABOUT TOUR VEHICLES *** I'm beyond disappointed with the services and lack of responsibility for the damages made to my vehicle and to others. As I was telling the attendant about my car as I pulled out of the carwash another black Honda Civic complained of same issue so it was apparent that this is an ongoing issue that isn't singular in nature. I plan to take further action. read more

Same experience as Julia R, huge scrape I wouldn't even call it a scratch & no response from the owner it has been two months now. Don't go here if you care about your car at all, they obviously do not care about their customers. They need to Upgrade and maintain their equipment or shut it down. Taking people's money while not even cleaning the vehicles, continuously doing damage to vehicles and on top of that zero customer service, is unacceptable. Save yourself the aggravation and have your car hand car washed. read more

I signed up for their $30 a month plan. UNLIMITED washes right? wrong, you can only go once a day. I used to use Quiky in SLO, and you could pay less per month for a similar top tier plan($27) and go as many times a day as you wanted. This car wash sucks. seriously. half the time their equipment is broken/non functioning (im paying for wheel/tire cleaning and the brushes dont work...) I had gotten a wash at the Donovan location, went from there to Home Depot by walmart...noticed my van was still dirty as fu*k so i went to the one by Honda...they told me they cant rewash because they "dont want to deal with the other locations problems" I dont get how this place remains in business with how crappy of a job they do and how expensive their prices are. read more

The owner, Mark Betts, has yet to reply to communication from my lawyer. This is very unprofessional, seeing as he was able to reply to my previous review. There have been other reviews that show this seems to be his standard operating procedure (see 2 reviews attached). read more

This place sucks . Paid 13 to get a car wash and not only the car did not get cleaned it left a lot of spots too . Will be not returning or recommending this placed to anyone . read more

man this is the worst car wash i have even been to and the worst management. You'd think because they specialize in car washes that they would at least be good at that but nope! I like to think they're just having bad days but after constantly getting treated terribly by the manager who doesn't do his job correctly i have finally given up. poor kids who work here and have to deal with this poorly ran business. read more

I will not be returning to this place , there's plenty of other competitors that I'm sure can do better than this. They raised their prices which is fine everyone has, but i have never seen such a half ass job on a car wash before, they left soap on my back windshield, many streaks and water spots, the guy left my back windshield wiper sticking up so I couldn't even wipe the water spots they don't frickin dry. And the worse part is there was some kind of tar or sticky residue on their machine that is now on my car by front right tire. The owner won't take any responsibility for it I know because I know others including people on these reviews that have had similar experiences, I wonder if anyone has ever advised him that he needs to have people sighn a waiver or at the very least post a sign saying he's not liable for his employees and equipment damaging customers cars. Lame don't go here your better off just washing your car in your driveway:/ read more

Although it was quick, my car looked absolutely terrible after spending $14 for a car wash. So many missed spots. Take your money to a gas station. You'll pay half the price for at least a slightly better job. read more

I took my car in this afternoon to have it washed. When I got there I asked him specifically to do a good job on the windshield as I drive back-and-forth a lot. When I went through the first time not a single bug had been removed from my windshield. I went for a second time explaining to the Attendant that the window had not even been cleaned the back window had not even been water wiped down and I was going through again. When I came back out there were a couple of the smaller but drops that were gone but almost all the rest were still there and the back windows still wasn't clean neither was the rest of my car only wet read more

Place didn't even wash my car correctly. Paid 15$ and left almost as how I entered. Little pricey for the job they do
