    Damaged paint

    The service is a piece of shit. They break your car and claim it was like that all along.

    Not only would they not admit to the damage they couldn't,  or wouldn't provide me with the missing piece,  now Ill have to redo whole seat

    This car wash is shady and will not take accountability for its mistakes worse the have the audacity to lie to your face , the disrespect and disregard for your property is disgraceful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lack of customer service is frightening if you value your property dont trust these folks to give it any TLC[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . I paid $260 for a complete Interior (ONLY) detail , previous details from other providers have always fixed little dings, scratches etc.. this place left a HUGE whole on my passenger front seat and then had the audacity to tell me it was like that when I brought it in!! I unfortunately tipped them $60 before I noticed it the to have them lie to my face I am just livid !! DONT GO HERE.!! CHOOSE ANY OTHER PLACE THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM IN THIS AREA , YOU WILL BE SORRY if you go here !!

    Don't recommend this place! This is the second time I go and they do a half ass job! Not only is the regular wash 30 dollars but they don't even wipe down the seats! My car had bird poop stains on the hood that are still there! Terrible job!!

    Looks like I am DEFINITELY going to another car wash other than Valley Car Wash from here on out. I don't know if it's new management, or hiring useless workers, or just could care less about customer service and satisfaction, or all of the above. I have been coming here for over 10 years because they WERE one of the better ones, well, they're not good enough now to have a bicycle washed/detailed here! I paid [unknowingly] to have someone there add some grease to my car's interior; oh yay, lucky me!! I showed the "worker" and as you can see, it was "somewhat" of an "attempt" to clean it however, he made it worse. Oh, and when I first pointed it out to the worker, his attitude was as if I was inconveniencing or insulting him!! But wait, there's more!! I got the same package I always get [not the cheap one] as it USED to be worth it because the workers USED to care about doing a good job and paying attention to details! You know, the simple things, like cleaning the windows WITHOUT leaving [dirty] streaks, or wiping down the interior with Armor All [or whatever brand they use] and put a coat on the tires, oh, and washing the car mats [which is included in the package, but it did not happen]. So, they raise their prices but decrease the quality of their service!! Hmmmmmmmmmm The quality of "service" they USED TO provide has been diminishing over the last couple of years, and in my experience has now disappeared completely. When I leave Valley Car Wash with a dirtier vehicle than what I arrived with well, it's time to say adios!! I work too hard to earn my money to piss it away on this place! Honestly, I give this business ZERO STARS, but Yelp won't let you post unless you use at least one star. You know, I really wish Yelp would provide us with Negative Stars to use!! Final thoughts; DON'T WASTE YOUR F*CKING TIME OR MONEY HERE!!!!

    Black car with swirls

    Hand car washed both my cars here and came out with swirls, they wouldn't own up it, this happed to me a few months ago but decided to give this place another chance since I live up the street and it was a convenience, didn't learn my lesson the first time around,wouldn't recommend this to anyone that cares about their car,sepulveda and Parthenia car wash seems to have the right guys on the job!!!!

    Huge tear in my driver's side seat. This was NOT like this when I brought it in

    This place is really bad, they tried to upsell me to a $200 wash and were really annoyed when I turned that down. I ended up paying for a $60 wash+interior clean and the dude put a HUGE tear in my car's seat. They also seemed to do a 'one spray for everything' approach to exterior and interior cleaning, since I have massive streaks and stains on various parts of my cars interior now, no doubt from using the wrong chemicals on the interior of the car When I brought it up, they claimed all of those issues were 'there already' and sent me away. Definitely ripped off for the money. EDIT: the 'business manager' seems to say that this tear in the seat was already there when I arrived. This is 100% untrue. He is lying

    Literally with my hand I took it off that is dust!!  Very basic and simple service I ask.

    First time arriving to that place At first I was happy I saw big teams working there I thought that they just gonna go over my car and just going to kill it make sure everything is clean also I tip the guys. I got the $24 wash Including vacuum and cleaning inside and a basic wash from outside including tires. After I drove one block away. I realize that the car is dirty, and that is not acceptable. I don't think so there are bad people I feel like the cleaning all day cars and that make them do the job not correctly. Definitely not recommending! Also the USB iPhone cable that I purchased not working.

    This is the AirTags that was stolen from my vehicle by the employee doing the detailing. I still show this as the last location.

    I was there a couple of weeks ago for a car/carpet cleaning. In good faith I left some money in the center console (I know I shouldn't have) and when I received my vehicle back it was gone. I initially did not want to make a fuss about it. However, when I spoke to the manager he tried to convince me there was no money there and that he often tests his employees by putting money in customers cars to see if they would steal. I didn't even request for them to try and pay me back or anything of the sort. I simply wanted them to know the type of employees they hire. To which he didn't seem to care based on his responses. Some days later I noticed my Apple AirTag was also missing and when I traced its location, SURPRISE SURPRISE! It's at the car wash near the area where they were detailing my car. I submitted a complaint through their online site and still no response. I really hope your management reads these reviews because I will be seeking legal council if I do not hear back to make this right. AGAIN, I am not here to ruin your business, but you should really take a second look at the type of employees you all hire. Some additional training for your supervisors for dealing with situations like these wouldn't hurt either. I have been a customer of this place since I had my first car back in 2010. Saddened to say I will no longer be coming back

    They have been doing much better lately, the way I remember them originally. Friendly staff and they are pretty consistent now.

    This review is abt the owner of the business who seems be quite unprofessional, unethical and…read morehighly irresponsible. I brought my car for wash and one of the mats had lollipop stuck in one corner and smoothie spill on the other corner. I asked during drop off if this could be taken off and the guy seemed nice and offered to try. In my opinion he should have said that he doesnt have the right tools or skillset to clean the mat rather than offering to try at the cost of damaging the mat? It turned out the mat got clean but the corners looked sanded/grinded and the rest of the mat has a design of some sort. I messaged the guy at pick up, who said the design will go away when dry - it didnt! Then upon drying, i took the mat to show him the design and sanded corners and he said it will go away with use - i dont believe it! It's hard to believe this business cause the goal post keeps moving. No amount of brushing the mat is making the pattern go away. The more concerning thing is that the owner completely disowned his business when i called him, he gave me a run around and then hung up on me. His employee made him call me back and he talked to me like he did me a favor by cleaning the mat?!!! His tone was offensive and rude and he obviously didnt take accountability of whatever happened to the mat. I would have liked the business to replace the mat THEY damaged or reimburse me for it. That would be the right way to handle an incident as such! The owner was in not apologetic of what happened, instead deflected what happened.

    This spot is a literal hidden gem! Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and prompt communication…read more Some of the larger commercial car washes in the area pale in comparison to this spot. I felt like my car was given proper attention and no surface was overlooked. For the price, you are given an expert wash. I love that you can hang out in Le Pain Quotidian or one of the other surrounding fun shops while you wait for your car.
