Its a very quick car wash thank you, so it doesnt have a lot of machines to adequately clean it. However it does do an okay job but it leaves a lot of water on the car and they do dry as spots... Overall I give this car wash a C+

I’ll start with the pros: Very affordable and super convenient. Got everything done super quickly and efficiently.I’ll preface the cons by saying this: I’ve worked in customer service before. It stinks. It can be a really stressful, annoying job. I totally get and empathize with that.That said, I’ve never dealt with more rude, condescending attendants at any car wash I’ve ever been to. I was in my boss’ car and was having a hard time getting the automatic wipers to turn off. I was trying to explain this to one of the attendants when he started screaming at me over and over to turn it off. I kept trying to explain that I was trying, and that it wasn’t my car, and he screamed some more. The other attendant seemed super amused by this and laughed the entire time.I finally got the darn wipers to turn off and the attendant finally waved me through. By that point I just wanted to get it over with.The wash barely did anything to my boss’ not-that-dirty car.Overall a bummer experience. Again, I get it’s not the most fun job in the world. Maybe they were just having a bad day. In either case, I won’t be going back.

Good wash. Staff work hard to prewash windows, tape rear washer arm. Buy 10 wash card for $4.95. very reasonable price, without going overboard. Free vacuum - DIY interior.

Quick easy, come out shining. I just dont like if you dont fully dryit yourself, you do receive some water spots but it only takes couple mins to dry since it the dry machine you go through does dry off majority of the water. *Go on Wednesdays, $2.00 off.🤓

Tried this place a couple times. First time my car was pushed into another. This time prebrush scratched up car good. Also the vacuums don’t last long and you have to keep going back to press the button

They use hand washing up front with brushes and then you go to the machine to get a thorough cleaning and waxing and then the vacuums are free outside

They scratched my car TERRIBLY!!! DO NOT COME HERE!!!I saw the man scrubbing my hood because there was a spot with bird droppings on it. He didnt scrub it off, he SCRATCHED it off. I paid cash and you have to give the receipt youre given from the cashier to the car washers to get serviced. So here I am, trying to advise other people not to come here. :(Also, this place SMELLS!!!

Review №37

I like coming to this one because there is always 1 or 2 gentlemen that help pre-scrub your car before it enters the wash. Nice place, gets the job done !

Review №38

Speedy wash, but wish cars were dried thoroughly during the process, especially considering the in-wash sign that promises a complete dry or similar.

Review №39

Ugh, the Bubble Machine Car Wash stinks like rotten eggs and a port-a-potty. It wasnt like this when I visited towards the end of 2013 so something must have changed before my recent and final visit.Before entering the car wash, the car attendant handed me my antenna -- freaked me out because Ive never taken it off before.Some other drawbacks: soap residue was left on my back window and this drive through has the shortest blow dry cycle of all the auto car washes Ive been to in LA county.While the drive-through did wash off the layer of dirt on my car, the soap residue left throughout the exterior of my car was an eyesore.I can understand the need to recycle water during this dire drought, but possibly unsanitized reclaimed sewer water is where I draw the line for health reasons :(0 stars for the car wash, 1 star for the attendant taking off the car antenna so it wouldnt be broken off.Im done with this place and will use a car duster instead to save water and pay a little more at a different car wash once in a while.

The wash does a good job. You will have to press the vacuum button for each mat. Take your own rags to do the interior.

The workers in the gas station were polite and the car wash did a good job. The vacuums didnt have alot of suction, but it was a nice place. I wish there was a 4.5 rating. Not a 4 and not a 5.

Review №54

Quick and affordable wash - but staff should make it clear / make a sign that there should only be one car wash lane.Long story: I’ve come here at least four to five times before and have always seen people merge into the car wash lane. I waited my turn in another lane until all the cars that were before me have gone. When I rushed up to the entry the staff asked me to go to the end of the line, which by then, had a lot more cars behind me. Staff argued that I should know the rule having come here before. TBH, I dont come here on short intervals and was really unaware of the rule enforced. It was not made clear before, and I ended up lining up again. Also, the staff is also trained to prevent you from getting off your car to talk to other drivers when in conflict (smart management, but in my case, unfortunate). A simple sign would have saved some TIME and face of a misdirected customer. First time ever to feel frustrated enough to want to write a review.

I asked for wheels and tires, my rims are now dirtier than when I went in. My spoiler was completely untouched, and the wash smelled of sulfur. Cant believe they charge money to pour disgusting water on your car with nothing to show for it.

Review №63

This car wash really does stink. The water does indeed smell bad, but more of a sulfur smell. The quality of the wash wasnt that good either. The sides of the car and the back didnt get washed much at all. The top got washed good enough but not enough to justify 12 dollars. Ive had much better luck at regular drive through car washes at other gas stations. For a semi-automated car wash that includes a little bit of hand wash, I was very disappointed.

If you want to pay card, you have to go inside. You cant pay at the machine.

Review №65

For some reason when Googled this place came up as a touchless carwash. It absolutely is not. By this time I was stuck in the line. Also I agree with other reviews the smell is disgusting. Has been 2 hours since I got my car washed and the smell is still disgusting inside

Ha
Review №66

I know $6 is a cheap price but man this place really sucks. The workers there are so rude, it smells so bad, and the cleaning quality is awful. If you dont dry your car manually by yourself youll have to wash again in a couple of days. Well of course the vacuum is not free either.(Tried it for at least 5 times, I was being cheap honestly! But last couple of times were really awful, I would rather pay much more and get it actually cleaned!)

Review №74

It smells like rotten eggs inside the car wash for some reason, so you want to close all your vents for sure. The car wash itself cleans reasonably well, although you can expect to have some soap suds left over that youll need to wipe off yourself afterwards. Not the greatest car wash, but it does an ok job. It doesnt cost much, so I guess you cant expect much. $6 plus tip.
