really well kept carwash. its rare to see a carwash have all the functions working but everything works here! also the air drying is a really cool feature that i haven't seen at other carwashes. the foam brush is amazing with how much foam soap comes out, completely coats your car in seconds. you can pay cash or card here as well. vacuums work really well. also there is plenty of bays to wash and vacuums to use. really loved my experience here and will be coming back.

Nice and decent self-serve car wash in the area. But, there is always a black car in one of the stalls with people just staying there. I m assuming they re homeless. I pass by every morning and see this black car/people just sitting around and going through the trash bins. I ve skipped getting a car wash one day because I kept seeing the car there, not knowing who they are and what they could do. I don t like going to a drive-thru car wash so I just told myself to go there and go to the farthest stall from where they are every single day. Would help and feel more safe if people wouldn t just loiter/hang around there but now I always have to be cautious and carry something on me just to be safe. You can never be too safe.

I m all about washing my car myself and not going through any of these car washes. This car wash has to be one of my favorites now. I love the fact that they have what each step does. The gentlemen that was working there this morning was extremely helpful. The reason for my 4 star review and not a 5 star was due to the fact that the RAIN-X option only works at a certain spot (which I will include in photos)

Found my new car wash.The setup is a little odd and cramped but don't let that take away from how nice your car will be after.

A fantastic experience and a very reasonably priced wash. Even compared to the ones back home in Kansas City where everything is cheaper.

You don't see this too often, a place with good pricing and higher-end capabilities. This has to be the best value to for self-service carwash. Every time I've gone, everything is in working order, and the car comes out cleaner than the automated stuff. The touch free capabilities are awesome, and the selection for the kind of treatment want is all there.

Best self car wash in San Diego. Well kept and I love the foam soap. Unlike others that just bearly have foam soap. I go here all the time and will continue to do so.

This is a great place to give you car a really good wash. You can pay with your card for both vaccums and car wash. No need to worry about getting quarters.

This is one of the better maintained car self serve csr washes in San Diego with 5 bays. It usually has people. It can be a little expensive.

From 1:30 - 5:30 this place is haunted... Stay away from this place at those times.Lol naw this place is pretty chill besides the old lady in the RV that yells at her man every night.

My favorite self service car wash in the SD area. Equipment is well maintained. Great pressure and flow on both hoses. Air dry hose nice power. (I never use brushes at public car washes but they seem to foam a ton and look clean and debris free, much better than a lot of places I've seen.)Vacuums have great suction. My only complaint is the Vacuum head/handle can't get into small/tight areas of the car unfortunately.The cost is more than fair.Best of all it's 24hrs.

I use this car wash a lot. For the first time, the high pressure rinse was not working. It was working when I used it at first, then I switched to the foam, continued to scrub my car, then when I went to switch back to high pressure knob so that I can rinse the soap off my car, it wasn t working at all. No water was coming out. I kept trying to switch it back from another knob back to the high pressure rinse to see if the water will come back on, but it didn t. It was probably a few minutes until it came back on after trying to get it to work and I was able to rinse my car. That is kind of a waste of some time and a waste of some money. This has never happened before. I was about to end it and switch over to another bay just to be able to rinse my car off.

I got a wash today and it said I was charged $4 since I only did a quick rinse. I look at my bank account and they charged me $20. Normally, I d do a whole wash and they d charge me $20, so I wouldn t think they d charge me a whole lot extra when I used way less time today. Now I know, you might as well do a full wash to your car cause you ll be charged extra no matter how much time you use. Why do they do this? It said my card got charged $4, yet it was actually charged $20. Even when I do only about $10-15 dollars worth, they still charge even more. The car wash is decent and all but they should actually charge what it says on the machine for the time being used.

Always busy so you know they're doing something right. Must be reasonable if people are willing to wait.

I was here on 1/2/2019 with my son. It was my first visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. There are lots of options for different sprays, soaps and such. The bay was reasonably clean. I spent about the same as I would spend for a gas station auto car wash but felt like I received a better quality wash as I was able to clean the way I like to clean. I would recommend and I would go there again.

Nice clean car wash that was a bargain price 4 min for $3. It actually had soap and wax coming out when it should. Had plenty of places to vacuum your vehicle but not many places to dry your vehicle and no shade. But still a nice place.

It was great. The car wash now has a new spot free water system from RWI.

Great place to wash your car. But BE CAREFUL! if you aren't monitoring your time, you could easily spend $15. I ve been going here for a while and I found that the other soaps and stuff don t really work well for me. (Not saying it s bad) I spend about $4-5 for a wash. I just use the high pressure soap and then a high pressure rinse. I d say 4 mins tops.Their soaps are really soapy so they make you spend longer to wash it off.

Another little neighborhood spot. Perfect place to wash your vehicle, do a detailed clean without feeling like your at grand central although it does get pretty busy at times . It used to have a drive through little store on property which was so cool and truly missed. Now it has a smoke shop where you can buy your cigarettes, get something to drink,a snack or whatever. Its one of those places that you wouldn't know was there, unless someone told/showed you or you been there before.

My expedition looked really good after I washed my car. GREAT SELF CAR WASH PROBABLY The BEST IN ALL SAN DIEGO. the wax and all the stuff that is offered with the car wash is great and the product is top notch leaving your vehicle sparkling clean .

Great car wash. If you want a self-service car wash and in the area, this is the best. I will be back. The soap and rinse and dryer are perfect. There are plenty of stalls and plenty of vacuums. It is awes that they offer a card option cause I hate running around the car with quarters in my pocket.

I always liked washing my own car and it's close. I'm good with that.

I used my debit card, as usual to wash my car. Halfway through rinsing my car off, the spray just stopped. I went to the control box to investigate, and the timer was still ticking away. I tried all the controls, and nothing worked. I stopped the timer, and realized the other bays were still working. I inserted my debit card and tried to start the rinse up again, but nothing. Still nothing worked, even though the timer was again running. Nothing at all, completely dead, but charging my account. I tried to stop the timer again, but it has a four minute minimum. So it continues ticking away, charging while refusing to run.

So this is the best place that I so far have used to wash my ride. Makes my Stella (1991 740 Volvo Estate) clean af. Clean, lots of options and a convenient store on site. 3 dollars for 5 min. 1.25 for the vacuums. Good stuff

Nice self service car wash. Nothing special but nothing wrong either. When I got my coins stuck in the machine they mailed me the money that got stuck no questions asked. Always go here to get a nice clean on my car, plenty of stalls and space to dry and vacuum.

Quick and easy. Very popular facility. Limited in area to dry your vehicle after washing. We just parked on street to dry(watch out for traffic).
