Easy to operate coin operated car wash. Everyone complains that the time given is too short, but if you can't wash at least soap up the entire car in one go there's something wrong with you. Stop spending so much damn time and just do the job. You can get the soap on and rinse it in the average time. Pull over to the side dry it off and get out of there. Stop complaining. read more

I would put zero stars but you have to mark at least one star at least my car got clean but it was spraying green liquid at first and I couldn't get it off it finally got it clear enough and the employee walked up to us and started yelling about some bags that I had on the side so I can spray my car and clean it and I was putting it back in he was very rude disrespectful and called me an a******. What happened to the customers right and when the customer is being very calm so yes I will clean it okay we're doing it now I didn't even say anything back that was so rude disrespectful what a punk shouldn't hire punk you got no score you guys suck. He should be fired for that attitude. read more

It's open 24 hours a day, the equipment always works so you can do as good a job as you want to. They also have a high-powered vacuum system to get the inside of your car and anything else that you need to do. Plus there's space to pull your car through when you washing it and dry it off if you want to do that. read more

Soap and high pressure water worked fine but the high cost, super low spot free rinse pressure and lack of proper drainage kept the area wet and full of dirty suds. Might return if the car gets really dirty but save your time and buy your own pressure washer read more

Was charged 10 dollars per usage of the vacuum, was not told it would cost that much. did it three times so that's 30 dollars for 12 minutes of vacuum. It must have been a glitch but I can't figure out a way to be reimbursed read more

Posted to open by 8 am Chain across entry with no notice of why it is closed This is usually a great alternative to other car washes in town read more

The best you do it carwash in SC County, bar none. Good materials, clean, tap-payment

I needed to vacuum my car. Both token machines didn't work and the vacuums didn't accept cards. It said it opened at 0600 and it was well after 0800. What's the purpose of a self-service car wash if nothing works. read more

New ownership, new tokens, homeless gone and everything is working great. Great job ! FYI old tokens no longer work you can exchange them at the 76 gas station in scotts valley. read more

Reasonable price. Sometimes you have to wait a little but it is worth it. The place is close to downtown but not easy to find. read more

My favorite car wash ever since they added the blow dryer instead of using a towel makes it so worth it, highly recommended

Like everyone else, I used my card and got charged $10. Like other users, I got frustrated because there are no signs stating how much for using credit/debit and no sign stating how much time you get for using your card. It's very misleading and an excellent way to discourage anyone from coming back as a repeat customer. You are a lot better off going to a drive-thru car wash. The equipment was old and the foam brush also didn't foam. read more

The water pressure works well and not too expensive. Good value and the equipment works the times that I have used it. No lines early morning or late afternoon. read more

It's your usual self-wash car wash. They accept coins and also credit and have a dandy vending machine with towels and car fresheners if you forget yours. I wish that the soap was more...soapy? It feels like it's mostly water /: read more

I was excited to have a self car wash so close to home. But this place was such a pain In the butt! 1 it did not take any of my cards!! And I dont carry much cash for good reason. Then the coin machine was only taking brand new ones so if you had any type of wrinkle on the money it wouldn't take it. 3rd it is SO expensive for a self car wash!! I spent $15 on this crap. It wouldve been better spent at a shell car wash or something. There was also absolutely no one there to help out. read more

Owner was very helpful. Everything functioned well and the area was clean. Will definitely come again. Suggestion: wringers for chamois or drying cloths. read more

this is the best diy car wash in town! they take a card, not just cash, which is convenient. there's a ten dollar temporary hold like many remote credit machines but the balance gets refunded of course. the wash and vacuum machines are always working and it's been remodeled recently. the Carwash is in a nice part of town and has a cozy tucked away feel. great service! i vacuumed my car key!! on Christmas!! And i called the number posted. they sent someone here to save the day in just a few minutes. on Christmas!! read more

Purchased the minimum 4 minutes with credit card, added two minutes for total of 6 minutes. Card machine in stall had handwritten note posted sayin "Credit Card Only". My credit card billing shows I was overbilled, for total of 10 minutes. Cannot find anyway to contact owners. Beware, these are illegal billing practices. I will refer to SC County District Attorney. read more

Nice carwash and reasonably priced. Convently located. I would stop by again over other car washes in the area.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DUMP!!! Came here to use the vacuum. Vacuums work with tokens only that you have buy from their token machine. 1 token for $1.00. Token machine won't take paper dollar bills in any condition, even new ones, so you can't get the required tokens. 2 vacuum machines together in the back, on left side. Both take tokens only, no quarters. Both have credit card readers, one is broken and does not light up when you slide your card in. The other one lights up when you slide card in but the button to choose minutes and start the machine does not work. So I left. I see a charge on my credit card account for $10.00 and never got the vacuum machine to start, so never even used it. This place is a joke! Compete rip-off! Machines that don't work but still charge you money is theft! I had to call my bank to get the false $ charge off my card! I believe that these card readers can and may have been compromised to steal your credit card info for false chargers or Identity theft, If this happens to you, contact you bank immediately and put a hold on your card and file a police report for fraud and identity theft! USERS BEWARE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! read more

$10 for a 4 minute car wash? Insane. I used my credit card. Didn't immediately see the charge. The car wash on Branciforte is only 5 dollars for 5 minutes. read more

Great place for a to-it-yourself car wash. Prices are very reasonable. Instructions are easy to follow. They accept credit card which makes it super easy to use. The equipment works great and there's everything you need to wash your car. Process was very quick and easy for us. read more

Very poorly maintained equipment and a filthy dirty bays. Bay #1 has a frayed hose on the soaping brush that will scratch the H out of your vehicle. read more

NEW OWNER is awesome! My husband and I met him yesterday when we needed to wash a service vehicle. I suggested we try the car wash on Mission because it was under "new ownership" and I thought it may actually have soap. I stopped going to all the self car washes in our area - 41st, Water, Bay/Porter and this one on Mission because they never had soap. I was pleased to meet the new owner and he has great plans for his new business and takes pride in it. He's a local and he's someone I want to fully support. He shared plans to upgrade the coin dispenser and to possibly add a bay that has an automatic wash option. Don't both going to any of the other "local" options. Support this young man and his desire to make this a great place to wash our vehicles! read more

I used the credit card machine on the vacuum because the slot for tokens was jammed. I did 2, 4 minute vacuum cycles and checked my credit card right now and was charged 10 dollars. Thats insane. read more

does anyone know how to get a hold of the owner? i have been trying to find out who or what company owns this carwash.i fell on july 2 2020 in the vacum area because there was a puddle of water and a bunch of garbage all over the ground. as a result i broke my wrist ;had surgery and now im in pt. before i get a attorney i would like to talk with them . if anyone has info my email is petsfirstpeople2nd@gmail.com thank you read more

If you want to wash your vehicle in a clean facility with soap actually coming out of the equipment, no broken hoses, no issues, then this is your place! I drive across town, specifically to use this place, there is absolutely NO question, this place IS as good as it gets! No loitering, getting hit up for spare change, no problems! I highly recommend Westside Car Wash! read more

Just checked my credit card acct & was surprised to see $10 charged on Friday when I washed the car. Guess I shouldn't be because I used all the time. That's the 2nd time I wound up paying way more than I thought by using your stupid credit card machine. I usually use cash for that reason, but smallest bill I had was $10 & didn't want excess tokens. Turns out I spent $10 anyway. I'll never use one of those credit card readers again. The instructions are not clear & I'm not the only one to comment about it. read more

Car wash is great but the washing tools are broken and worn out. The vacuums are okay but smell like urine and can leave smell in your car. Overall, pricing is fair for the time which makes up for the rest. read more

The new ownership of this carwash has made a world of difference. Doug the new owner has repaired or replaced almost everything so far. The vacuums ACTUALLY WORK! It is so much cleaner and not filled with the kind of people who hang out there all day and don't wash there car if you know what I mean It is so so so so much better and I'm so happy we finally have a functional do it yourself carwash on this side of town. Doug was so friendly and helpful! PLEASE COME SUPPORT THE NEW OWNERSHIP IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN HOW IT WAS A MONTH AGO read more

Unfortunately, the token machines have now taken my money, $5/transaction, the last 3x. Get new machines or maintain them more.

Had an incident happen and there's no way to get ahold of the owner of this car wash - security was a nice guy though ( if he really was security). Starting to doubt that too. read more
