I used to like this place, but I had a bad experience during my last visit. My brand-new car stopped in the middle of the wash cycle, and the car behind me ended up hitting my rear bumper. I didn't brake--the car simply stopped on its own. It felt like it had somehow come off track. The staff remained silent about the situation and offered no explanation or assistance. I found them neither professional nor responsible in the way they handled the incident. I won't be coming back. read more

I regularly come to get my car washed here because it is easy, quick, efficient with great prices. Each visit is a good experience and I'm out in 15-20 minutes from arrival. This is an automatic car wash so you wait in line, select your wash and pay, go through the wash, and have the option of doing the complimentary vacuum service. They even have an attendant at the wash helping to guide the direction of your car into the wash. Good for people like me who tend to get anxious in these situations. I usually go for the Classic wash at $15 and it does a decent job. There is some soap and water residue left over which leaves some spot stains, but I've been to worse. You can always just manually wipe it away at the vacuums. Vacuums are pretty effective. Only thing I wish is that they had a holder for the car mats I've seen at other car washes. The car wash is usually busy, but it is efficient and you don't have to wait long periods of time to get your car washed and vacuumed. Overall great experience here and would recommend for anyone in or near the Koreatown area. read more

Just left this Carwash 6/29/26 at 4:12pm. In my New BLACK TESLA The wash was cool but soon as i started to vacuum I noticed a crack in my windshield. That wasn't there 20mins ago when i drove through. I went to find the hispanic guy working with the gray shirt.. and explained to him this crack just occurred. he said let's go take a look at the video... while watching the video back you can clearly see no crack . He then tell me this can happen if u wash your car on a hot day ??? Then proceed to tell me there nothing he can do about it... Tf!!! HOT!! it's only 75 degrees today.. and i dont control the water temperature yall do... smh this will be the last time i visit this SLUM of a carwash ... o and i will be taking LEGAL ACTION!!!! read more

Vermont Express Auto Spa - Visible crack that wasn't there before the wash, confirmed by carwash attendant (hispanic in grey shirt). - Car Wash Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This has been my go-to car wash since moving to the area. The price is affordable and the vacuum is worth its weight in gold. I have never had an issue going and my car comes out sparkling. read more

I like this place, It's clean for a long time after car wash. It's definitely comparable to other places,,

The wife and I have been hitting this car wash since the pandemic. It's a good value compared to other self washes. We usually don't have to wait more than 5-10 minutes to get a wash. Vacuums are good here. We'll never go back to a full service wash because they cost way too much and take too long, typically 45+ minutes whereas here we finish within 20-30 minutes. read more

Friendly staff and good prices. Convenient location and has a full lot of vacuum cleaners. This is my go to car wash.

Loved this car wash and always came here. I lived pretty close but moved further away and still drove 30 minutes to get my car washed here. Unfortunately while looking for my drying rag, I opened the trunk to a bunch of water from the wash having had soaked all of my stuff. My trunk was closed and I know it being open was impossible because my car sounds repeatedly until it's closed. Then while drying the car, I notice the damage in the photo (trim hanging out and metal piece lodged out of place). I asked an attendant about it who called over the manager. The manager says that that part of my car is too loose and they have a sign saying they aren't responsible. That's fine. However he was so short with me about it. The thing is, I've brought this car to this wash twice before (and my last car multiple times) and had no issues, no water in the trunk and definitely no damage. The entire wash I noticed how rough it was and commented to my mom on the phone about how rocky the ride was and how it felt like the brushes were beating up my car (although I've said car thus far, I have an SUV for reference). When I brought this up to the manager, he said it wasn't the brushes that damaged it, it was the air... so he knew. I also found while drying that my license plate was all bent up too which was easily fixed but jeez Sad that this will be my last experience here but at least my car is clean read more

5 Stars for your cars! My poor car was In Dire need of a wash and I was given this place by a coworker of mine. I was even more elated that they were open at 7am. Which is precisely when I get off work! The prices were decent and they have vacuums free to use after going through the wash. Definitely my new fave car wash spot!! read more

Vermont Express Auto Spa is my go to car wash. It's quick, simple, easy and reasonably priced. My car always comes out shiny and looking new! The wash isn't perfect. It's not a hand wash and no one dries off or gets the smudges off when it comes out. But for the price and speed, it's good enough for me. They have three different levels of car washing so you can choose what works best for you. Free vacuums but they get bussssssssssssssy on the weekends. Sometimes so busy that the line goes down the block just to get in. If you're looking for a car wash a bit better than the gas station, but not as great as a hands on service, this is a great middle ground in KTown. read more

BEWARE, Do Not Go Wash your car here! I no longer recommend this car wash. I had always had a good experience, and came to wash my own new car here since it opened in 2019 and had no problems at all, until today. The old Hispanic guy who they got supervising outside by the vacuum stations decided to kick me out for no reason. He asked in a rude tone, if I was leaving, noticing that I was still vacuuming my suv and there were plenty of other open vacuum stations. This Hispanic worker was very rude and didn't care if I was not finished and just pointed to the 20 minute sign. I know this worker was receiving the order from his supervisor/boss through his handheld radio. I did not want to make a scandal, so I just told the worker, I'm not finished because I have a big car and SUV but since you're rushing me, I'm going to leave now but tell your supervisor/boss that they're losing a good loyal customer. I didn't feel comfortable anymore, I felt rushed and very discriminated. After, I paid $20 for my wash and vacuum time. This is ridiculous! I have an suv and I'm a woman, so it's not easy for me to just rush and finish in 10 minutes and leave. So, inconsiderate. Meanwhile, there are other people taking their sweet time, not just drying and vacuuming their cars but also detailing and cleaning the tires, who have been there for longer than 20 minutes. I personally won't be returning to this car wash anymore. The prices have really gone up and to have a bad customer experience and get new scratches on my suv now, no thank you, never again!!! read more

I was so relieved to find a drive thru car wash somewhat near downtown. It's in Ktown so not too far. The cashier when you enter and select your service level was very friendly. My car got super clean and I liked seeing all the other korean ladies like me drying their regular cars like mine in the drying/vacuum area! I had not done a drive thru car wash in L.A. for the 8 years that I lived there. I just either had it washed by other people or I washed my car myself in a pay bay. If I still lived in L.A. I would definitely keep using this efficient and friendly auto spa! read more

I love this place people are nice and it's easy in and out. My car gets super clean and I am happy with the results

If You need your car washed kinda late to wash off that dirt sitting for weeks on your car try this place out. It's a drive through car wash with free vacuum usage $8 - $18.00. Monthly passes are available. Good car wash for most cars most of the time. I think the car washing machines might be a little rough on the cars a bit. For a quick $8 wash and use of the vacuum is a great value. You will need a towel for a little touch up to dry some areas on your car to make your car happy. Wheels seems to be acceptably clean. You will need to wipe them down also. I just use some napkins or paper towels to wipe my wheels for the shine. Worth Trying out. Sometimes the line maybe long getting in, but moves pretty quick anyways. 3 1/2 stars. read more

Since everything has gone up, it was time for me to search for alternatives in the upkeep of my lifestyle --- meaning being able to afford my rent and food! I cannot not get gas sooo, i'll choose other options to save money. Yep, i choose not to get my car washed at work but instead use the drive thru service. They have different options, i would normally choose the 2nd one for added service. They give you 2 hour free vacuum but it usually gets packed so i just drive off without drying my car or vacuuming the insides of my car. Over-all, this place does the job. Highly recommend. read more

We had the worse experience this last saturday it was my niece 15's so my brother in law took the car to get it clean but it turn out horrible. Until this day i cant believe i let this person do this to us. He was so racist, my brother in law ended with a pre heart attack. Why because he said it was our fault that the car got out of the line he said that is because out alignment was bad or because the tires were new or that because it had a car accident. And when we ask if he was going to pay for the damages to our car he said no and now you have to pay for the time the carwash was not working. He didn't care that my brother in law was feeling bad, when i ask him to call an ambulance he said no if its important then call it your self. I had to call an ambulance and the cops so he can let us go because he asked my brother in law for his driver's license and since he dont have one he called the cops first and closed the door from his office and said we couldn't go. And after the paramedics got there he said ohh now you can go yeah you can go, so racist he ruined our party it was the worse day of my life. So if your car dont have a perfect alignment dont go there. read more

I am very reluctant to try new car washes, especially machine ones, but due to location and reviews, I gave this place a try. The line was long but moved quickly. I did notice that for some reason the gate on the right let more cars in than the left, so I waited longer than someone behind me which was frustrating. The overall wash was quick, but I noticed it didn't get a lot of the spots and residue off of my car. It really only took off the exterior dirt and dust, which is fine, but for almost $20 I expected more. I had to do a 360° scrub of the car with wax that I had in my car to really get it clean. The most upsetting part is this giant scrape on my hood that wasn't there before. I might be able to take it to a retailer to get it buffed out, but it's more time and money. I wish I would have driven the extra distance to go to my usual place. The scrape is very noticeable, especially being on the front hood without any other marks. read more

DON'T COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE PROFILED IN THE VACUUM AREA. While vacuuming my car after paying for my car to be washed and driving through the tunnel. I was approached by one of the workers who ACCUSED ME OF STEALING BY USING THEIR VACUUMS FOR FREE. [Proof of payment posted] He claimed my car appeared too dirty to have been ran through their wash. COMPLETELY OFFENDED, I responded sarcastically saying, "Yes. I paid for a wash, but if you think it's that dirty to accuse me of having NOT washed it maybe you should allow me to run it through again". We start arguing and now he DEMANDED THE PRICE I PAID for the wash, upping his stupid accusation. Now i'm really mad, not only have I answered his question, but he takes it a step further. I say, "$7", and he says okay i'm going to check. Wow! Now i'm boiling! As not only a frequent paying customer, but alone as A PAYING CUSTOMER this pushed me the wrong way. I finish up and make my way to the office, where he's there with the manager who I see is watching live video of the cars being washed (These people have all the evidence they need to not make this dumb of a mistake). I explain to her, her employees ignorant allegation of me not paying for a wash because my car appeared dirty, so to hold his statement I requested to run in it through again. The conversation got heated and to my surprise she very well sided with her employee by approaching me the way he did, because they've been dealing with people stealing vacuum use. WHY SHOULD PAYING CUSTOMERS BE AT THE MERCY OF HOSTILE ACCUSATION for something that has nothing to do with them? She had no remorse or apology for the negativity that was added to my day by her employees aggressive assumption. She merely agreed to my request after minutes of arguing and wanting to rid my presence. SHE DIDN'T APOLOGIZE or say I'm sorry for the inconvenience we'll be sure to have employees CHECK ALL THE FACTS before harassing our paying customers. Had she sincerely apologized for the inconvenience and misunderstanding I would've left and never posted this ridiculous experience. BEWARE!!! This place will make you pay for a wash, then accuse you of stealing after their crappy machines don't clean your car well, and then give you a hard time in the vacuum area, and tell you that you're stealing from them. Take your money somewhere else where they actually have a brain and care about their customers. read more

Took my car here as I usually do every weekend. This time around my car was bit dirty with bird poop so I purchased the top $20 wash which included the top top wax. After I ran my car, the bird poop was was still there along with some spots. I asked Ken (manager) if I can run my car again as it it's still dirty. He said no because no matter what I pay, my car will still be dirty. Rude response to my question and it depicted the purpose of a car wash. His solution is hand wash my car myself. I will never go to this place again and my friends also had the same bad experience with same manager. Worse costumer service ever!!!!! read more

This place scratched my newly powdercoated wheels. When confronted about it, management said it could have been anything that caused the scratches, "like a rock on the freeway". The young man directing the cars into the carwash said the same thing happened yesterday. read more

Absolutely horrible. My car came out covered in chips and scratches, It looks like it was blasted with rocks. When I showed the first employee he began to pick at the chips with his nails. The owner was extremely rude and sleezy. He tried to blame me even though I had been working on the car earlier that day and there were no chips before I left. He also refused to give me any kind of claim info, name, or insurance info aside from a generic card I had to insist on getting. I will be filing a claim and I will make sure my friends and family do not go here. The cherry on top was that my car didn't even get close to clean. This was supposed to be a treat for myself. read more

I was surprised to see no one actually clean my car once it was done in the drive through; you have to clean it yourself? Not what I was looking for when I searched for a car wash and I didn't get the cheaper options. The tire shine isn't really even on my tires right because I (emphasis on I) have to wipe it around my tires. Waste of time. I would only say come here if you need a quick wash and don't mind wiping the water off yourself. Or if you want to vacuum your car out, it's free if you get it washed here. Only plus read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! So I was already hesitant due to other reviews but I didn't want to drive all the way to my go to wash in highland park (GO THERE!!!) Anyways. I purchase the most expensive wash at $18 (my go to spot is less than this plus they give you air freshener and a wipe packet for your interior) When I pull up to the wash the employee only has a little spray bottle. No brushes or anything which was weird to me. Once I got out of the wash and to the vacuum area, I immediately see that my car is far from clean. Like bird poop still on my car...you could even run your hand across and you would have dust/dirt on your finger. Not to mention, there are all of these spots on my car where the paint is now chipped due to the wash. When I asked the manager for a refund he said they don't do refunds which is ridiculous after seeing the filth still on my car. Neverrrrr coming here again. read more

Cheap, fast carwash. Does the job for what it's supposed to. The price increased slightly, think it's $8 for a basic carwash now, was $7 before. They have monthly subscription packages too. Sometimes there's a small line but it moves fast. Clean & easy enough area to get to, next to major busy road & shops so quite safe. There's a lot of customers, using vacuum etc. so good amount of in and out flow. Overall great place for quick, cheap carwash whenever needed. Honestly it does the job, car looks pretty much same as when I paid 30-40 plus for handwash, which took 30-60 mins. You can use the free vacuums to vacuum inside your car better than the handwash places (they always miss spots). The only thing is theses express car washes sometimes misses some spots on the outside or bugs on the windshield, but driving my car regularly it gets somewhat dirty again within a few days and you can just use a rag to get the minor spots that got missed for well less the money & time. read more

I've been a regular customer when this location used to be a hand car wash place.

It's including 5min. Max self vacuum. You could also purchase $2 for a dry towel there. Overall, this place has brand new machines, So it's very clean. In addition, there're 2 each vacuum handle for a car, so it was very convenient for vacuuming. read more

Was really disappointed at this place. During these difficult times I have notice establishments like this that like to take advantage of the community. They have decided to STOP membership. This is a tactic to increase revenue due to the increased demand of car washes for essential workers that need to disinfect the vehicles! This is the way they profit. I wanted to purchase a membership and I was told they have place and no longer sell the memberships at the moment. I decided to get a regular car wash and then later I purchase a membership at a different car wash called "wild wash". read more
