Not going to lie but I was totally hesitant about going to this place because I have never been to…read morea self-serve car wash like this and I always thought you needed a lot of quarters (which I never want to have). So, I finally went because I heard they take card. Super easy process actually. Yeah, it's tiring but if you want to wash your car yourself, then that's the price you pay. Here are the steps, pull up and park in the center, swipe your credit card and it'll say "authorizing". Once that's done, the timer starts and you'll see the stopwatch start. There is a dial in the center which you move to select what you want (pressure washer, soapy scrub brush, tire brush, spot-free rinse). Then you just do what you gotta do. Simple. They has a dedicated scrubber for the tires/wheels so turn the dial to that option when you need it. They also have a wax option which I think made my truck shiny! The spot-free rinse also left very minimal spots. I spent about 13 mins. Not sure how much it came out to but make sure you hit the button that says "cancel" at the end of the wash so that the timer stops and you don't get charged more.

After many failed attemps to contact the manager, I was utlimately told they would not be covering the cost as promised. Now I can't get ahold of anyone as voice mailbox is always "full" and emails go unanswered. Extremely frustrating and disappointing customer service, especially after admitting responsibility in the beginning. I would strongly recommend taking photos of your vehicle before entering this wash and being cautious if any damage occurs, because getting resolution afterward has been nearly impossible. I will be pursuing legal action.

David and his team are GENIUSES. Seriously, they are the Rhodes Scholar of auto detailing…read more My 2007 Saab was really bad. I hadn't had a detail in a decade and it was just filthy inside and out. It's a NEW car, minus the dent I need to have vacuumed or sucked out and the driver's seat. Saab leather cracks sooner than other brands. My Nissan Pathfinder LE (1998) lasted much longer. I took a video but will get pictures later and upload to phone. I cannot believe the ceiling. Like no one ever smoked! It's shiny, shiny, shiny. They did the interior and exterior, plus engine. Elite detailing isn't cheap but if , like me, you paid cash for your used car and have no payments, who cares? It's like a couple months car payment or so. Do yourself a favor and call for a quote. The website has no prices but they also do ceramic coating, with several tiers of packages. You can do a mini-detail or just regular car wash but if you leave the car with them for a day, they will give you a NEW CAR back at the day's end. I'm still on Cloud 9. Floating! Every time I see my baby, I smile! PS. THE SB INDEPENDENT BEST OF LIST IS HORRIBLE. The best acupuncturist, not just in SB but California, is Anthony Kar. He's probably the best in America. He wasn't on the list. My friend, Evan Schoolnik Berger, has a food tour company that didn't make the list. My chiropractor and gym made it. Barry Family Chiro and SBAC/SWELL are the best in town. But David's shop should have made the list.

I can't say enough great things about Sunshine Auto Spa in Santa Barbara -- especially David! I was…read morevisiting from out of town when I accidentally scratched my rental car. I was stressed and looking for help when I happened to drive by Sunshine Auto Spa around 6:30 PM -- well after their normal closing time -- and saw them still hard at work. I stopped in and spoke to David, and he immediately stepped in to help me out. Not only did he take the time to assess the damage, but he and his team also went above and beyond by staying late to remove the scratches and also for the paintwork -- all on the spot, the same evening. I honestly couldn't believe how accommodating, professional, and kind they were. The work they did was flawless -- my rental looked like nothing had ever happened. And to top it off, the price was incredibly reasonable. It's rare to find service this good and people who genuinely care about helping others. Thank you again, David and team, for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience.

I reached out to Tye at Ally Detail for an internal detailing and he was extremely quick to respond, professional, and kind. He made the process so easy - I simply dropped off my car at 11:30am and it was ready by 3:00pm! When I got back to pick up my car, it was beautiful. Dog hair was gone, stain on the front passenger seat was gone, and he went above and beyond to trim my car's mats to fit properly on the floor. And I can't forget to mention his trusty sidekick, Frisbee, who will happily greet you and is the sweetest little dog! Great customer service skills - I tipped a little extra just for him! Overall, I'm extremely pleased with Tye's work on my car and it looks SO GOOD! So happy with it and will definitely be coming back in the future!

I had two cars washed by Guillermo/Nova Spa (and his partner/helper, whose name I don't know) for…read morethe first time, and both ended up damaged in the process. Guillermo won't own up to either. One car is only 4 months old and was being washed for the first time. It ended up with a ding on the trunk, most likely from the end of a hose or something else hard being knocked against it. The other has a large scratch across the passenger door handle, which Guillermo informed me "looks like nails scratches." Even setting aside the damage, the cars simply were not cleaned well. There were spots and smudges all over one car, and an obvious spill on the center console of the other was left untouched. Needless to say, I won't be using him again. I wouldn't trust Guillermo to wash a bicycle again, let alone a car. If you care about your cars, I suggest you stay away from him as well. Edit to respond to the lying business owner: I do know for sure, and I'm helping people avoid what happened to me. Own up to your mistake if you don't want me to tell people to stay away from you. I wouldn't have a problem with you if you took responsibility.
