Pretty upsetting to see $15 charge on my card for the self car wash. I received the same amount of time as if I had paid $5 cash into the machine ...heads up. Keep an eye on that. From here , idk who or where to ask for help. read more

I've been going here for 25 years, once a week. Typically I swipe to use the "system" (2) times at $5, total of $10. Today I was charged $15. They tripled their fees in less than 7 days. Assuming this is a major oversight. I contacted my CC company and they confirmed I was almost charged the same price as a full service car wash for washing it myself. I assume that this an an major oversight otherwise, I obviously will never go back, because I don't smoke the good stuff and you would have to be either e high to go here or rather there is a new greeeeedy ass owner. Take your pick! LMAO. For double that $39 you can get a waterless wash up at the Tesla charging station and the wash will last you 3 weeks with the dude's proprietary wash formula. Lame, because again I've been going to "The Wave" for 25+ years! read more

I was charged$15 today for 12 minutes. That can't be right? Not enough time for all the options they offer. I already am a member at a carwash father down in Upland. I won't come back here. ​​​​​ read more

The facility is great however, My credit card was compromised here! I usually pay cash and will in the future if I return

It's dusty out here! Now that I'm back to being a student, I'm on a budget and have been coming here to get the dust off my black car every once in a while. There are a handful of stalls, but going first thing in the morning usually means I can pull right in! For $4-$5 I can get a decent car wash and it's like a fun workout for me to see how fast I can clean my car (although I've had some comical Scooby Doo slips on the soap while running around my car!) My only complaint is there's no drying gun that I saw in the stall, it sounds like there's one by the vacuums but I usually skip the vacuums, so perhaps I've missed it! read more

I have been here at night and feel safe going alone. Good price. Easy to get in and get out.

Needed a quick no hassle rinse and wash. Stopped by and did just that. Place was good with machines working and was in and out with just under $5. read more

talked to "owner" said he couldnt fix coin machine at carwash wouldnt reimburse money machine ate.

Average do it yourself car wash, however there's no air drying to blow the water off the car. On a hot day a black car is very hard to dry, so I had a few minutes left over of wash time so I started drying my car (while other spots were open) . The staff got upset and told me to leave. I tried to explain the circumstances and show that I still had time. They did not care and continued to tell me to leave. I've been a consistent customer and this is a very disappointing experience. I will never return. They are rude and uncaring about their customers. read more

It's a great place but when I went to go get the armorALL protection spray for 2 dollars, it charged my card 10? What's up with that? Not to thrilled about that. Hopefully it was a mistake and they will reach out to me about it... read more

While visiting my parental units, my mom, who is in her early 70s but as strong as an ox, hinted at wanting to wash her Camry. Of course the wife and I volunteered to wash her car for her. It was a Sunday morning and I looked at Yelp for some suggestions...and chose this self service car wash as the only seemingly negative comments were about the annoying owners. We figured it was Sunday morning, the owners would probably not be there to hover over us while we washed my mom's car...and they weren't. When we pulled up, there were only a couple of cars there so we drove right up to an empty stall. The equipment all worked well...the tire wash, soapy brush and the power washer. I had my wife flipping the selector switch as I washed, soaped, rinsed, waxed and applied the spot free rinse. We used all the options and it came out to $4. The vacuum cost $1 and it didn't feel like there was enough time to fully vacuum a standard sedan and there was no option to just add a quarter to extend the time. Additionally, it would've been beneficial had some shade been available by the vacuum/drying area. All in all, it wasn't a bad deal. $5 for an adequate wash...and mom was ecstatic. read more

On weekdays if I am in the area I always pull into this car wash, they offer one dollar self service car wash for four minutes. You can spray soap, high pressure rinse and low pressure wax and last minute the spotless rinse. In four minutes the car comes out looking new and instead of drying , I drive highway speeds on I-10 to dry her up. Love the price Dollar -One . read more

Worst place ever!!! Don't get me wrong the location, price, and quality of "stuff" is great but this is now the 2nd time a women who I can only assume is an owner paced around as I dried my car saying other people are waiting, really? I arrived, all wash stations full, so I vacuumed first, then paid for 12 min of wash time, used 7 min then proceeded to dry my car. I think I was in the wash area a total of 9 min b4 she began pacing within 2 ft of me calling out you-who. I showed her I still had time left,still standing there saying I needed to get out. So much for saving h2o and feeling satisfied with being able to wash our little mini. Don't go here she's rude to customers and I'd recommend any other place more!!! read more

Disclaimer: First time I've ever been to a self service car wash. Went here with my gf to clean the bird poop off her car. Costs $1.75 for 3 minutes of usage on their washing system. The great thing is it accepts credit card and cash (quarters and dollars). They also have a quarter change machine nearby. How to: 3 minutes is definitely not enough time to do all the steps necessary to give your car the the wash it deserves. The steps are: tire cleaner, car body soap, foaming brush, hi pressure water rinse, turtle wax, low pressure rinse. There are 3 nozzles/sprays that you have to navigate and the timer keeps running when you're moving from spray to spray. It's hard to figure out at first but now I get it. Instructions in the area are limited so you just have to figure things out on the fly. Pressure is strong so your hands will be tired. Gotta move quickly to make use of the timer. Had to spent an extra $1.75 because we were stuck at the foam brush part when the first 3 minutes were up! At the end you can purchase towels to clean off your car for $1 each. There is a wringer with sink available to dry the towels u purchase to increase its usability. The wringer is fun to use! Cost: $1.75 * 2 plus $1 for a medium sized blue towel. Overall: Great value if you have the energy and desire to treat your car the way it deserves. I am pretty meticulous when it comes to detail and this car wash gives me the ability to cover all details. However this requires some physical exertion and you gotta be quick otherwise you might end up paying multiple times. read more

The Good: The only reason Im giving a 2 star is that I have used this car wash for the last year and a half. It was always well stocked and in good working order. The Bad: Last time I went the carwash owner was there. As I was getting ready to vacuum my truck he came over and told me I could not wash because my truck was too dirty. I get it you dont want mud buggies clogging up the drains with dirt clods. I had a small amount of mud in my front wheel well from god knows what. I had NOT been 4x4ing the sluice box in Gorman. I protested and told him I patronize his business frequently. He didn't care and said "no wash here" then he turned around. Bottom line is the owner only wants clean cars washed here! read more

tip: towel dry outside of the stalls 1.75 for three minutes is a fantastic deal; though you need about 3 bucks to lather and rinse. The turtle wax is very enticing but can drag out the entire wash to $5. Also have the wheel cleaner on the other side which is nice. read more

At first I was confused on how to use the self wash tools because I usually don't wash cars by hand. I also did not have dollar bills or quarters, but the owner was extremely helpful during the whole process and even washed the car for us! I was surprised at how powerful the water spray was. The foaming brush was also very interesting. Overall, this is an inexpensive way to wash your car in a quick amount of time! I spent a total of $4 to clean the car :) The owner is very nice and approachable with any questions that you have. I would also recommend bringing your own towel to dry your car because the one that you can buy($1.00-$1.25) were not that efficient. read more

This place sucks. Went there because I went through some dirty puddles and wanted a quick power wash on my truck. Not even half way in the driveway when the owner comes running towards me waving his hands in the air. Then when I pull up to ask him what the issue is he ignores me saying excuse me until I'm literally yelling then he just turns around and yells "no mud!" My truck barely has enough dirt on it to be considered "too muddy". What a joke and a horrible owner. Steering everyone I know away from this place. read more

Wave Self Service Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Montclair, California

This car was so pretty much what you would expect from a self-service car wash but what made this experience 5 stars was the woman working today. She was so kind and helpful. Hands down I will only come here to wash my car on the chance she is working. read more

This place is a rip off.. previous person left extra time to use, i used it, it was paid for, owner took the time off my extended time after I paid... trying to charge again.. bs I'd rather go elsewhere... on top of that he came around trying to push me out quickly from the stall, with soap left on my car .. pissed off.. read more

Nice, clean and quick way to wash your car! The owner was even there and stepped in to help me wash my car! Awesome service even at a self-serve place! Thank you!! read more

The owner would not stop coming into the wash stall to scold me. He eventually made me leave the car wash because he said that I was "taking too long." There was no one waiting for my wash stall. I am very courteous and would have moved. I felt truly insulted and will never return. read more

$1.75 for 3 minutes of high pressure wash!!! If I hadn't driven down I-5 and had a massive bug collection on my grill, I'd have almost made that three minute limit. But, it was worth the extra $1.75 to get a really nice clean! Owner and his wife are around, saying hi and thanks for using their carwash...very nice! read more

Owner is REALLY pushy. I didn't squeeze the trigger on the hose when I got started bc I wanted to give it a low pressure pre rinse, and immediately the owner walks over and says "No sir you have to squeeze it!" She tried to step in two other times during my wash as well. Not used to being hounded at a self serve car wash. If the owner would just step back and let me do my thing, I'd give a much higher rating. Good prices. read more

No problems here. Went on a Sunday morning (8 am). Waited for 1 car to finish. Spent $6 to clean the outside of my car, including scrubbing the tires. When I was done, I pulled my car out of the wash bay and dried it with the towels I brought. I'll definitely be going here again. read more

Everything said so far about the owners is true. It's not so much what they do, it's more like how they do. The way they act comes off as hostile and malicious towards their customers. They have security cameras set up every where (covering just about every square inch) and they watch the place like a maximum level security prison. As far as the facility goes, it's good. Equipment works. Prices are reasonable. You just have to be okay with possibly being treated like a convict who committed a crime just because you had to go wash your car. read more

This car wash is bizarre. You put your coins and preceed to wash your car and the owners (man and a woman) start turning the knobs . Are they trying to be helpful or are they just plain rude. This is supposed to be a self service car wash ....so I thought . read more

I love this place! It's very inexpensive and the first time I was here, there was a very sweet asian lady(the owner) who gave me change directly. And when she saw me struggling with washing my car (because I usually go through drive-through washes) she finished washing my car for me! Great family ran business and for $1.75 a wash, you really can't beat the price! read more
