Got Exterior wash only. Not much waiting. They did a great job. $20 for exterior wash only on our 2 door car.Much quicker than me doing it myself. Not sure why this place gets low ratings. I've been super happy. read more

Richard and the team did an amazing job on both the interior and exterior of our car, it came out squeaky clean. We really needed the help after a friend threw up in the car, and they got everything cleaned up perfectly with no smell left behind. On top of that, our car had a front scratch from a hit and run, and they were able to buff it out way better than we expected. Super professional, thorough, and detail-oriented. Highly recommend! read more

The quality is fantastic here. They have always been very nice and I can see the hustle. I do often see the same employees and I have been a returning customer for several years. I appreciate that's Mr. Tan values his employees. I always find great service. My cars have been black or dark and I don't like car washes with brushes or machines. This is completely "touchless" meaning full hand car wash. They will have you stay in the car during the wash process and you exit for the interior process. Always very kind and A++ for my vehicles looking great! Big recommendation. read more

Went there today for the first time to try. When I arrived I was a little confused so I wanted to ask a question. Everyone just looked at me and wouldn't even acknowledge me. Finally one guy started yelling at me pointing to where to enter. I was appalled. This is NOT how you treat potential customers. I looked at them and said yeah NO will take my business somewhere else. First impressions are everything. I would NOT recommend this place . If I could give a -10 I would. read more

I think they do a great job for what you are paying. The staff is competent and quick. Best of all, there's an upgraded detailing option right on site. read more

Clear directions. The attendant checked in to confirm which of the three car wash tiers we wanted. We chose the basic wash, which was $32.99. The process included a quick high-pressure rinse and hand soap application before allowing the car to go through a very basic wash followed by a quick hand dry by employees. Is it worth the price? Absolutely not. But it was convenient. I'd like to try the higher tier which includes things like tire cleaning and interior cleaning -- starting at $40. There was an outside tent wait area. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Tan's Touchless Car Wash. I live nearby and pass it all the time, so I was genuinely excited to finally stop in. Unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. 2 stars since the Carwash came out really nicely but the people are terrible. $55 if you want your interior cleaned and $33 for simple exterior. Go to the gas station Carwash on the corner of Halford and El Camino for exterior and pay $14-20. To start, the prices are noticeably steep compared to other car washes in the area. Still, I figured I'd give it a try since it was my first time using a touchless service, and I wanted to support a local business. Things began fine, but quickly turned sour due to the lack of basic courtesy and professionalism from the staff (with the exception of the cashier, who was polite). I'm still adjusting to my new push to start button vehicle instead of turn key, and I accidentally kept the keys in my pocket instead of leaving them in the car. A staff member approached me and reprimanded me rudely, as if I should have known better. Instead of calmly explaining the process, I was met with a dismissive and impatient attitude. Despite leaving a $20 tip, the service felt anything but appreciated. When my car was ready, I thanked the staff member who handed it off , he barely acknowledged me, asked for my receipt, opened the door, slammed it, and walked away without a word. I also overheard him and another employee laughing and making remarks in Spanish, seemingly assuming I wouldn't understand, but with four years of Spanish under my belt, I did. Yes, I made a mistake with the key, but a little kindness and clear communication could have gone a long way. For the price, I expected at least basic customer service, courtesy kindness and respect. Sadly, this experience fell short. I won't be returning, and I don't recommend it if you value courteous service for the price. read more

All the workers are lazy and half of them look hung over. Left dirt residue all over the truck. Washed my rubber floor mates and put them back into my truck wet getting my carpet under them wet. Then I had to go home and wipe my car myself getting the spot they missed. Will never get my truck washed here again. Basically just gave them $58 for tire dressing. read more

I took my Tesla Model 3 here and was happy with the service and work. There was no damage to my car and I would happily come back.

I'm not sure why the rating for this place is so low! I've tried several car washes in the area and haven't found any that compares to this quality for the price. I will say, I haven't brought my car in for any deep cleaning or detailing here, only a basic interior and exterior wash and vacuum (#3 on their list of options). They do an exceptional job every time, especially with the vacuum and internal wipe down. Most places do a very weak job with the vacuum; Tan's does not. They're also fast with each car, although (1) they're very popular so sometimes the wait is long and (2) my car is a Civic, so it's smaller and thus faster to get through. They do charge extra where more difficult cleaning is required (ex: one time my car was covered in sap from a tree - they charged me a bit extra for deep cleaning, since it's difficult to get off without scratching the car, which I totally understand). read more

It's a good price for them to hand wash and dry the outside of the car ($22). I am fine with cleaning the inside. My car looks really nice. Thank you! read more

These guys seemed super friendly and courteous. Asked for a deluxe but then saw they also did hand waxing so I ordered both. Inside is air conditioned and outside has covered seating. Place is busy and efficient! This isn't like the two mobile guys that come to the house and painstakingly detail the crevices of everything, this is your midweek wash to get the bird or raindrops off and clean up your dash so you can continue your day. I forgot smaller bills for a tip and went inside to break a bill, no problem from the guy inside, and I can't tell you how rare that is. I'll come back for my midweek touch ups and tell people about them. For engine and all that detailing I'll leave it to the guys that can take a few hours to come to where you're at or the drop off for the day types. read more

Great service! Bought the $39 touchless car wash for my Toyota Highlander. They did a great job with interior and exterior. I appreciated the smiles too. I would definitely recommend! read more

Don't go here, you might have seen a promotion on a receipt for them but as soon as you pull it out, they'll look for a reason why they can't help you. One look and he looked for a reason my car couldn't go through the car wash and refused my service. Sad but please don't give these people your business.. I would have paid full price. read more

This is the only car wash we go to. There's a hand car wash place we used to go to super close to our house but they charge like 2-2.5 times more and the wait was like 2-3 hours! And the actual wash is the same whether we go there or Tan's. The wait here is super short and reasonable. We go here probably every 3-4 weeks on average between our two cars and we got a good car wash each time. The people who work there are polite and nice. Hard working. I love how we get a coupon every time we go and use it for the next time. It's a hidden gem and we drive out about 20 minutes to go there instead of going to the car wash 5 min away. I think it depends on what you're used to as well. I'm used to super expensive, similar service so I choose this place over others. I don't expect them to do a super detailed job on the interior - for that you need to shell a few hundred bucks with another person or car wash that specializes in that or do that yourself. Would highly recommend! read more

Received great service.... used my debit card and the next day someone used it to purchase from Amazon...glad I had email Notification on my debt card....use cash if you can... read more

Did the deluxe wash. Paid $54 +$3 extra for suv. Then paid $3 for tip. End result is that car is not cleaned properly from Outside and inside. I asked the owner why are you not cleaning the basic thing, he is saying we will do in detailing. Basic thing I am referring to is wiping the seats, cleaning the soap left on the inside of the doors, dirt on the doors. He is saying we do only vaccum inside. Then why the hell is he charging $60 for service? Why can't I go to basic gas station car wash for $15 rather than coming to him. Pathetic. This owner have lost the basic sense of value and quality for $60. Pathetic. read more

They did a nice job on the interior, thoroughly vacuuming and no streaks on the windows.

Ima be real I went mostly for the inside to be clean and it's not very good.i had to go to the store just to get cleaning supplies and do it myself .wasted my $50 ,maybe I didn't understand the service but all they did was vacuum and now that I look at the back it's not even done it looks like and half assed the cup holders aren't done either.im very upset will never return. My car. Literally looks the same. What the fuck literally just took advantage of me. read more

I've been coming here for over ten years and have generally been happy with the service and experience. Today's experience left me frustrated and more than likely unwilling to return. I'm not sure how dirt on the back of the seats goes unnoticed, and as I was in a hurry to get to an appointment, I didn't bother to check (admittedly my bad). But how do you vacuum and not notice?! read more

I got the Tan Special, my expectations were as followed: 1. All visible loose dirt will be cleaned off 2. My tire rims would be cleaned off appropriately Super bare bones, I didn't think they'd be able to do anything with the more stuck on things but I was prepared to wipe it off later. I didn't realize they'd also completely clean my interior which is great because there was leaves, dirt, sand everywhere. Value wise it was a little more than I wanted to pay for a car wash, but they were quick and nearby. I'd say they do a good job of cleaning all visible things off while the cost would be the only con. read more

So that bit about not vacuuming the rear is true. It's not a great photo because of the shadow. They did wash the outside and they did put Tire shine on though a bit unevenly. I guess for 45 Bucks I can vacuum the rear myself. If I didn't have time to wash the outside I'd definitely come here again. read more

Tan's Touchless Carwash - Non vacuumed back - Car Wash Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I feel so valued as a customer here! It's a hand wash service that included hand drying, vacuuming, tire cleaning and was for only $32.99. The best part is if you drive Uber or Lyft they give you a 10% discount! I see lots of high end car owners come through here also which makes me feel like I picked a good place. The staff is very helpful and friend too. Only thing that made me put a 4 star was how confusing the process is and the signs that arn't big to read or clear. 1. Drive to the left into a line 2. Wait for someone to ticket you 3. Drive through hand car wash in neutral , 4. Drive out and left to get it hand dried, 5. Get out to pay 6. Drive off with a great looking car! This is an inside and outside car wash! read more

Tan's Touchless Carwash - Didn't wipe down dashboard well. - Car Wash Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I went to this car wash after long time. I would like to support the local business at every opportunity. Lots of same old familiar faces and not same old quality they used. I paid about $70 for the deluxe incl $10 for snow residue removal. Oh boy, these guys didn't vacuum, wipe thing down and left pretty as is without an external machine wash and vacuuming obvious places. I would stay away from this place moving forward and find another down the road as I had to pay and redone the interior and exterior cleaning one more time. Since I used this years back when quality was better, I returned and will not do the same mistake again. read more

$22 for basic exterior "partial wash", first time visiting. Will never visit again, not worth the price and might as well do it myself. read more

Tan's Touchless Carwash - The largest part that was not washed, similar result in other side of car. - Car Wash Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I've gotten my car done here and it's passable. A fair number of small details missed on the "deluxe" wash but no major issues. I've gotten my sprinter hand-washed here and it was expensive ($120) 3 months ago, but they did a good job (I figured it was worth the extra cost since it's a big vehicle and had to be done by hand). Today they quoted $400 for the same hand wash and wax. When I protested, they said they could wash only for $150, a full $30 more than the price 3 months ago. Basically, their hand wash biz is a scam, they'll quote you the highest price they think they can get away with. Took vehicle to another place 10 minutes away and got it done for $80. read more

Went in a few days ago and was very disappointed. They did a very poor, lazy job. They completely ignored my trunk and didn't even vacuum my floors. They also didn't clean my seats or even really bother to do much besides the windows and the dash. Never going here again. read more

Tan's Touchless Carwash - Trunk that they ignored completely - Car Wash Near Me - Santa Clara, California

DO NOT GO HERE! If I could give a negative number, I would! They charge an extra $3.00 for a truck (another new charge they don't tell you about until your truck is washed and you pay your bill) This owner has raised his prices constantly with the same mediocre service! It's now $40.00 + the truck charge for a crappy car wash? No wonder your business has dropped off. PAY ATTENTION! I will NEVER go back there again! You are a greedy self-serving SOB. I hope you go out of business!! read more

Been coming here since 2017. Sad to say gradually it seems the service has gone down. I typically select the top package to get inside and outside cleaned. And I expect a reasonable job. Not seriously detailed. I will leave a $20 tip to the people cleaning the inside. However, last time I went will be my last time. As you can see in the picture it was almost as though they did not even bother to vacuum the inside of the car. This was taken right after I get the car home without any interference. read more

Tan's Touchless Carwash - Back seat - Car Wash Near Me - Santa Clara, California

This place used to be amazing. In the last 7 years I've probably spent well over $1500 there between car washes, details, and clay bar treatment. After today's experience I won't spend another dollar there. I left my Safeway coupon at home so I had my wife text me a photo of it. The guy at the front denied me the discount because I didn't have the physical coupon. I was like, "Ok, no problem, I live 5 minutes away, I'll go grab it." He says, "let me check with the manager." He comes back and says "It's ok, bring it next time." I was like "Awesome! Thank you so much!" I go through the wash and they do a great job on the outside of my car. Then I get to the interior part. I exit my car, pay inside and go sit down. The same guy who gave me grief about the coupon is the one doing the interior. After about 2 minutes, he goes "OK it's done!" I was thinking, wow that's fast, it usually takes like 10-15 minutes at least when I do the interior detail. So I get in the car and don't really think about it at first. It wasn't until I drove off that I started noticing they did almost nothing on the interior. There was still dog hair in the carpet, dust on the dashboard, the rear dash wasn't touched at all. The seats were not thoroughly cleaned. I could've done a better job in 5 minutes with a shop-vac and some armor-all wipes. I'm not exaggerating, I don't even know what they did. I think the guy was just trying to stick it to me for not having the coupon with me. After this experience I've decided to find another place to spend my money. read more

Advice to all people, do not wash your car in this plase The prices are unbelievable. they wash my car just from outside. Without washing the wheels. $22. Yeah. Only washed from the outside and not cleaned even the bird excrement on the roof of the car. When I asked to clean the wheels, he told me. It cost me $7. Do you believe it? I was shocked. Really. Therefore, I do not advise anyone to get involved in going to this car wash read more

Tan's Touchless Carwash - This the Receipt of the amount I paid - Car Wash Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I liked Country Club Car Wash on Stevens Creek Blvd. and went there for many years. Unfortunately they lost their lease so I had to find another car wash. Tan's Touchless Carwash on El Camino Real is close to my house. I've been using them for two years. They do an average job. Today I took my white Subaru Legacy in to have it washed and waxed since the last waxing was a year ago. I asked if they had the time to do a hand wax? The person writing up the orders said no problem, he could even put two people on it - the cost was $90. I must say, they did a much more thorough washing of the car than usual. After going through the machine I drove to the vacuum/drying/windows station. After 10 minutes, one of the workers waved their hand indicating the car was "ready". I said, but it hasn't been hand waxed. After a conversation in Spanish, the person who wrote up the order drove the car to the waxing station - the time was exactly 1:50 PM. At 2:00 PM the ONE person (not TWO as promised) waved their hand indicating the car was "ready". A hand wax in only 10 minutes??? That's a new record - it's always taken 45 minutes to an hour at any car wash I've used. Further, I watched as half of the 10 minutes was spend inside the car. I never saw any sign of wax-on, wax-off. I complained about not getting the hand wax I paid for and was told by the person who wrote up the order that he put three guys on it to get it done quickly. That is a total lie - I only saw ONE person at the waxing station. I was ripped off for a $90 hand wax and not a bit of hand waxing was done. The car finish is still rough with no wax. Minor marks are still there - they were not rubbed out by a wax-on, wax-off hand waxing like they should have been. There is even still dirt around the inside of the doors. DON'T YOU GET RIPPED OFF PAYING FOR A SERVICE YOU DO NOT RECEIVE. AVOID TAN'S TOUCHLESS CAR WASH! I WILL NEVER RETURN! ADDENDUM After posting the above review I decided to print it out and bring it to the manager of Tan's Car Wash. The manager was definitely not pleased with the review and excitedly implored me to come to him for any problems instead of posting a negative review. Turns out he saw me drive in earlier that day and noticed that my car was very dirty. He told the two guys to give my car a thorough washings which they most certainly did. He saw me complaining about the hand wax but didn't come out and take charge. Bottom line is I think chronicling the event in writing and presenting it to the manager was helpful - he was pretty upset so I think some changes will occur. When he asked what I wanted him to do, I requested a refund for the difference between a Tan's Special Car Wash and a Hand Wax. He refunded $54. So now I have a very good car wash for the normal price, just no waxing. If it seems I'm making a big deal about waxing the car, there is a reason. I used to wash and wax my car (remember Turtle Wax?). Being a septuagenarian, now my hands have some arthritis which makes it unpleasant to painful to hand wax a car. Thus I pay a car wash to do the hand waxing. I tried to update the final line of my prior review with strikeout text, but alas, Yelp doesn't provide any kind of font selection or decoration and won't accept embedded CSS. read more
