The car wash does a great job knocking the dust off of your car or truck. Do not expect them to really scrub your windshield or back glass. You should clean your glass if it heavily contaminated. When you get to the section that rinses your drivers side wheels and ground effects only 1 of the 10-12 nozzles are working. The vacuums around back and extra parking for wiping the car down are very helpful. The current rate of $31 for unlimited washes monthly is a great deal in my opinion.

This has been a great local car wash. The old owners were great, the new owners are great too. They new owners have reinvested a lot back into the car wash to improve the quality of the wash and overall experience.I love the monthly subscription. So easy and quick.It is a touch wash, meaning big brushes and other drape looking things will touch the car. So if you have ceramic coating it may not be for you. I m getting the once a year cheaper ceramic coating so I can take it through this wash and not worry so much about it getting scrapped off.

I love this car wash! The people are friendly (especially the girl with the beautiful smile up front that takes payment). They all have a good attitude, and they make it a fun experience! I totally would recommend this place

Not so great. Always dirt on my car after I go through it. This time I went back cuz my wheels were goopy. Second time wheels are still goopy.And the $18 hot wax wash is a great idea, but I never saw any wax actually get to the sides of my car just fall on the top of my car. Bottom line is is it wasn't worth it before they upgraded it it sure is the hell is not worth the money now.

Get the unlimited wash plan. Only $32 a month. I go twice a week. Comes out to $4 a car wash. Can't beat that.

I really like this car wash. I have the $30 per month unlimited washes and it's a better wash than Mister, and it includes air fresheners, trash bags, and use of the vacuums. Also the service is really good, I don't know of any car wash that can beet this, that's why I'm willing. I drive up from Bakersfield and this is better than any wash down there

Employees are not friendly in the least. Car wash is too quick to get all the dirt off. I had to pull into a parking space after going through to finish cleaning the windshield and drying off most of my car. I even paid the highest price hoping to get the highest quality car wash. It didn t happen.

After prewashing at the spray wash next door, I went here to finish the job. Nice staff but their wash leaves really bad water spots also and is extremely rough on your car. Nearly ripped my mirror off. Vacuums very weak. And that was the most expensive wash too.

Great service. With monthly subscription the line is short and if your car isn't clean enough then you can go through as many times as you want. I gave a 4 instead of a 5 because sometimes the vacuums are clogged and don't have the desired suction you want and the nostal can come off, but most of the time vacuuming is great.

The people who work here are great and always friendly. Make sure to ask for no tire shine unless you want your brakes to squeak like crazy. Also for whatever reason the drivers side rear view mirror never gets rinsed and there are always water marks on the drivers side mirror. The $31 price is kinda high considering the difference between the $21 and $31 per month package has only one thing added and half the time I go thru there it only runs the $21 features.

The kids with the brushes at the beginning have no clue how to scrub a car without dinging or denting your car when they go to scrub the outside. I'm about ready to cancel my membership just lazy on their part be more carefull some of us have to work hard to have nice things.

Was exactly what was advertised .. the gal that took my payment could have been nicer but it s a car wash. Didn t fully clean my truck but it was pretty dirty. Will go back today for another 18$ wash just because it s fast.

They are great. Only problem I ever had was when I moved and tried to cancel the unlimited car wash autopay account. It took two months to be able to get confirmation the account was closed to avoid future charges.

Staff is great, I haven't had to wait but 3 cars it's the wash itself. Doesn't seem to do an extra good job. I'll continue to go. Get monthly stickers.Since I wrote this they have expanded/upgraded their services. I think it's fantastic .

Good service. The guy forgot to pre-spray my car, so it held up the line of cars. He was distracted. Washing used to be fantastic, now it lacks the capability it once was. Still the only place in Tehachapi for a decent auto carwash. It is not a touchless carwash.

I love this place. It is so quick and easy. You simply choose which option you want, pay with cash or card, get any extras you may need for afterward (like armor-all wipes, window wipes, or microfiber towels), then go through the wash (everything is clearly explained to the driver with signs), then you get out and get over to the send-serve vacuum area. They have hanging vacuums on either side of the car (genius) that work great. It's so quick and easy and clear. Love it.

I always have a great experience here! If you feel your car wasn't 100% cleaned your first time through, they let you go back a second time. I wish they still offered the dashboard wipes. I like the visual cues they have throughout the wash so you know what cycle of cleaning you're on.

The people here are very nice and great to work with.The washing is ok but not great. It does get most the dirt off the body, but does a poor job on the very front, rear and wheels.

Tehachapi needs a real car wash. This place is kind of a joke. $18, their top wash gets you a car deodorant (10 cent value) a 1 second spray of bug degreaser across your windshield and 30 seconds through the wash tunnel with brush rollers with brushes missing. Very little soap too. What exactly is in that "tire shine" an anti shine agent? Then as you exit to vacuum, you get a good look a just how bad of a wash you just paid for.

My husband went through this car wash and its a joke. It did damage to his car twice. The front bumper came off its clips twice going through. The manager Victor Ormo argued with him about it and said it came in like that and it didnt, he has a whole new bumper. Victor said he couldnt do anything about it. He basically said that it was my husbands problem even know the car wash did it. He also said my husband is the only one with this problem and on the reviews it says other people have the same problem. The manager is a liar. Ariana is the only person that had respect. He keeps saying that my husbands car was already damaged. We had memberships and I cancelled them. We will not be goin back to that car wash. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I wish the old owners still had this place because it actually cleaned your car. Every since these new owners have it, it doesnt clean your car all the way and still leaves spots. The chains your car goes on goes way to fast. It doesnt even dry it all the way. Atleast with the old owners everything was working great now its just a joke. Normally I dont write reviews but this one I just had too.

Cannot say how often I use this place. Cleans ok, dries kinda, but with the subscription... who cares, saves me an hour of washing everyday... now, I can focus on the important details!

This car wash is reasonably priced. The staff is always friendly and respectful. They have vacuums for customers. They are easily accessible. They offer a monthly plan that allows unlimited washes.In fact my only complaint is sometimes the line is all the way out to the road.

Monthly subscription is awesome. Even if you just get a single wash, it is still very affordable. Wish we lived closer, we would use this place all the time. It is a mix of hand and auto wash. They scrub the car by hand first, then you go thru the automatic wash.

Even though I get the "best" level of car wash, my window is never really clean. The last time I went I came out and still had a huge spot on my hood.I also believe they are under new ownership and the prices have gone up drastically.

Damaged my vehicle and wanted to say my car came there that way if you value your vehicle don t use this place they will do anything to get out of doing the honest thing. I d give a zero if I could and on top of that I spent the max for my vehicle to not be cleaned at all such a joke of a car wash. I ll take all this up with my insurance I will not talk with you guys anymore I ll have them get the footage like I said if ppl value your vehicle do not go to this car wash

I'm able to go at less busy times and find they do a good job. My only complaint is that the tire shine option never actually shines my tires. I still get that tier for the Rain-X option, but it would be nice if the tire shine worked.
