    Scam & Bait Sign Advertising
    Efrain O.

    Be aware of the Post sign by the entrance, it's just a bait so you can come inside and get a big surprise when paying more than what they are advertising. The posting price is $49.99 but I ended up paying $ 75 plus the tip for the car wash crew when finishing detailing your car washed. I am not even mentioning the Ridiculous High prices on the Car wash Menu. I Don't recommend this place at All, cause Quality is not really Good.

    I paid $75 for the "best" package paid more for them to "clean" the mats this is insanity! How the heck did I pay $75 for THIS! I had to go to autozone and buy wipes to clean my freaking car after paying $75 for a full detail that supposedly included everything for them to not even clean my freaking car correctly I am so pisses off! I spent another $15 at autozone to get cleaning supplies to finish what they didn't! It's insane. On top of that I waited so long to find out they had finished my car and not inform me I was sitting in the heat waiting they didn't even bother coming around to inform me they were done! The lady at the register super unfriendly also I asked her a question and she looked annoyed that I even approached her! This service is horrible I did not get $75 worth car wash at all!

    Not happy with my car wash. The interior was barely touched--dust still on the dash and doors. Definitely not worth what I paid. I went Saturday 3 weeks ago. It wasn't busy so you would think they would have made an extra effort to do a good job.

    Scratch my car with car wash

    Definitely never going again and wouldn't recommend anyone to go I took my 2024 bmw and they scratch the paint on my car and left windows still dirty

    Receipt of extra charge they want to charge on top of the car wash !

    Looks like it was the owner he is the one receiving u when u arrive there and i told him i wanted the $23.99 and he started telling us that it was the cheapest and wasnt including tire shine and we said it was fine and he seemed angry that we had picked the cheapest one that he just marched in as we were paying and said we needed to pay extra $5 cause the trunk needed to be vacuum and we paid the $5 and went and asked him y were paying $5 extra and he said cause trunk was dirty and needed to be vacuum and he said if you dont like it Take your car and leave " WHICH I DID " no wonder they have 2 stars !!! Horrible service !!!!!and we just went to the self car wash nexxt door to them and only paid $8 and no attitude !!! Owner needs to treat clients better !!!his attitude was horrible !!!!!

    DONT COME HERE they don't even clean your car they put scratches on my car .. didn't even vacuum correctly horrible BELIEVE THE REVIEWS BELOW Wish I would have looked up the place before bringing it here never again

    My receipt as proof that I went there for a car wash

    Upon arrival I was greeted nicely. I ask for a regular carwash for a Ford F550 work truck. The woman handed me the ticket for a whopping 75.00. I said to myself, "company is paying for this one, whatever. " She then asked me for the scent of my choice, I asked for cherry. Truck was pulled out pretty quick, which was nice. The guy drying it was done fast, which was also nice since I was in a bit of a hurry. Jumped in the truck and drove off and started to notice that there was no armoral in the interior, no scent. I get it that it's a work truck but they should take short cuts just because of that. The job was not worth the 75.00 I paid at all. Gonna stick to the guy that washes my personal car at home.

    NO QUALITY

Yes, it doesn't get every last spot of bird poop off. No, it doesn't dry every last drop of water off. Given how vehicles are all so different I am pleased that my vehicles come out slightly cleaner, and slightly drier than those other places. You want hand wash quality at a drive-thru? Not going to happen. Spend more money and time going to a hand place like Sylmar Car Wash.

These guys are giving me a hard time right for the start and mind you I've been here 3x now. I have my truck this time (other times have been my small two door) and as I pull up all is well bit then they say I need to blow out all the leaves, mind you there was a few leaves in the back as it it a truck but they made a big deal that they wouldn't let me go through unless I cleared them out so I simply asked for a broom and they provided me that but there's three men hanging around doing nothing and I asked them if they can help obviously because they work there and they said oh no, I can't. (I have a messed up leg and still managed) So here I am holding up the line brushing out the leaves that they are forcing me to get rid of prior to even entering (isn't this the entire point of a wash)??? trying to accommodate the quick wash, mind you my truck didn't have that much buildup compare to my small car I've been able to run through there 3x now l. Honestly I'm always fun hoe on my locals but not this group, def unwilling to help and so unprofessional. I never write reviews but felt the need to say it was the worst customer service I've ever experienced, definitely acting like they didn't give no fucks whatsoever and they were just there to collect their little paycheck which hey I don't blame them, but at the same time like dude it's hot outside you got your Ac going inside the little room the place you in so let's have some respect for one another. I gave the benefit of the doubt hence why I went back a few times now and because it is close and convenient but man with the customer service there!!! Yikes I'd drive an hour away now just to avoid that hassle and interaction with the employees.

Today I was visiting friends for the World Cup and went to this car wash. The car wash machine is broken. You can not put your code at the machine. A grandmother seemed to manually pull levers inside the car wash tunnel drive-thru. I slowly drove through the dryer vents which were not moving. Still, I had to towel dry much ore than ever at any other drive-thru. I went to speak to the attendants inside when I was done and told the cashier- a man. I told him that I've just had the worst car wash result ever. I explained that I had to dry the car myself. The grandma started to yell back at me that ai did not listen to her. At that a 60 ish year old woman started to say rhat she would refund me, but the grandma said something. They all started yelling and I told them to stop yelling. I told them that this was the worst experience. Therefore, the other woman said that she would drive her car through and that if it was not dry she would return my money. A young woman from behind the counter told me that she would call the police. I told her to go ahead. I had not done anything other than expressed my displeasure with their business. I never asked for a refund. When she came out of the drive-thru I looked at her car and she came up to me and told me to move my car and to get out of there. I will never go back. OMG this place is horrible there are so many reviews like mine. San Fernando BBB will get a call from me.

I was told to come here by my friend since I need this car to be cleaned asap and very thoroughly due to just how it was and kept. I was skeptical how clean they were able to get it clean just cause how dirt the interior was and if they would say "no" cause of how filthy it was but they said they would take it. They gave me rate on depending on how dirty the car was and even then I was surprised how relatively inexpensive it was for the amount of work they did !!!! I got my car back a day and a half later and I was just surprised how clean they were able to get it. They go very heavy on the cloth material so the carpets and seats and ceiling was scrubbed in deep. They did however leave some spots which was odd cause it was obvious and could had gotten a small brush and it be gone but I didn't really mind since they did a supper job on everything else. The car did take 3 ish days for it to be dried and for the smell to some what dissipate although it semi lingers. The comparison photos are before and after although the after pictures are ruffly two weeks post wash but I tried to keep it as clean as possible. I would definitely recommend people who are specifically looking to get their seats washed to come here!!!

Avoid mainstream car washes due to over time paint damage, improper solvents used on windows and a myriad of other dangers affecting your investment. Search for the dealer recommended hand wash service began with a Yelp project post. Response from George of GM Auto Spa Detailing was immediate. With great professionalism, transparency, in addition to the benefits of handwashing, he enumerated the benefits of ceramic coating a new vehicle's pristine paint, the process, the pricing, plus he texted video and photos of his businesses' quality work. See what I saw and more on the GM Auto Spa Detailing Yelp page. https://www.yelp.com/biz/gm-auto-spa-detailing-mission-hills-3?start=10 Moving forward was not my decision alone. Enter my husband.
