Folks here were all kind and worked fast! The place where you pay has air fresheners of all sorts, rearview mirrors, steering wheel covers, etc., which I can picture being handy. For the first time in a while my car is sparkly-clean, inside and out! Plus, the price is pretty fair!

Warning of how they judge the size of your car and raise the price WITHOUT telling you-won’t be back feel shady plus car cleaning wasn’t even that great.

A joke for $45. I got a platinum car wash and came home and still had all sorts of bug splatter on my car and dirt on my floor mats. It wasnt crowded but they still rushed my car through and clearly did a poor job. This is not the first time I have been disappointed here. Might as well of just done a drive through and saved $40.

Disappointed. This use to be a great car wash. Went here for years. Youd think theyd at least clean the interior when you get the gold package. Better off doing a drive thru car wash

This is a well organized establishment. The workers have red hats and are very visible and polite. I purchased the platinum service. I feel I could have got the same service with a lower priced plan. Maybe just get the audio wash and vacuum next time. Much of the car was still dirty, needed to be hand washed and needed to be dried better. I had lines running down the side of my car from left over water dripping down that wasnt dried. There were also hand prints on doors, windows and side panels. The cashier was very friendly.

Absolutely terrible. Aside from spending $40 and not getting a clean car they removed my antenna, damaged it to the point it could not be reinstalled and would not take responsibility. Dont go there much better car washes locally... update: After a few back and forth chats they did pay for a replacement antenna. Still would have rather had a good car wash and an intact antenna in the first place.

Im not kidding, this Drive Through car wash is legit. The process takes a minute, maybe and my truck was close to spotless. This is the newer upgraded version.

GREAT speedy service with multiple detailed options. Was very crowded during the day in the middle of the week, so they are doing it right

This place use to be really good, unfortunately quality of service went down the drain...big time. I gave this place a bunch of second chances.... no more.. last few times they left windows dirty..carpets not vacuumed properly....they put shiny stuff all over my truck, even though I specifically told them not to. Then theres an issue with them trying to charge for services I didnt ask for....overall its bad service...starting from the guy that greets you all the way to the cashier... save yourself some time and money...go elsewhere

Great job always, friendly staff.

Perfect. Good quality. Delicate. Fast.

High quality, fast service, fair prices. They took really good care of my car when I went in for a Gold Wash and seat cleaning mini-detail service. I drive a little bit further to go to Encinitas Car Wash and I am never disappointed!

Not sure why but the last 2 times I have had my car wash they did not do a great job. I am always in a hurry so I dont look carefully at the car at the wash, but my wife has complained when I get the car home

The employees are lovely! So many people are ready to clean your car speedily! I payed for a platinum wash and recieved a great exterior wash. However, the interior cleaning was not the best. Everyone was so kind, and be sure to tip the person who cleaned your car!

Come here and the other one up Encinitas blvd all the time, they do both do a good job but both say they close at 5 on Sunday and were both closed by 4. Bummed, please update your hours.

My car was dirty in and out. Windows were crusted in and out.I considered up-grading the service.I decided i needed to get going soon and if the workers do their jobs no up-grading was necessary.Up-grading was not necessary. The workers did their jobs. The car was clean. Not polished...just clean and what i paid for.Ive never been disappointed at this car wash.

Could have done a better job especially in the interior, since I got the interior package for $59.99.It took them on 16 minutes to wash and clean the interior??

Ive been going to this place for a long time already and the boys are always making sure my car is done perfectly, Im very happy with this location.

Good carcass, fair price.

The guys always do a thorough wash job and dry job on our cars. Clean the interiors well and always put found money and other under-the-seat objects on the front passenger seat. Have used them forseveral years.

Good but they missed the little corners and edges which made them stand out alot. I wish it was more carefully done

This is where we take our cars when theyre really, really dirty. The guys there are hard workers and always do a great job.

Fast an grate service .

Mediocre services at best. No attention to detail and you can expect your vehicle to still have smudges on the windows and dirt on the floor afterwards. Other car washes have a team lead or a Quality Assuredness person inspect the vehicle before it’s cleared to leave. It doesn’t appear that this car wash has such a role. And if they do, their standards aren’t high enough.

Pretty nice job.

Best of the 2 car washes in town. No pushy sales, they just ask what you want and take care if business. Dont forget to tip well!

Great service. Today there was no wait and the boys were working quickly to move the cars through.

Good service and good prices..!!

A little high, and so so quality service. There ok, just need to watch them.

This place is great, always courteous and they do a great job!! Been going here 16 years & never had an issue with anything. They must have a lot of patience to deal with some of the customers I’ve seen giving them a hard time over nothing, I will always recommend them and am a fan !!

So happy to get my car washed and it feels like I have a new car!

They always seem to do a good job.

This place is amazing. The service is so fast and good. The key is to have plenty of time and to select the package that works best for you. Then, sit back and relax, while your vehicle is being cleaned.

Expensive, but the car was completely clean and bright when I drove away.

Im always pleased with the care they take in cleaning my car. Its truly sparkling inside and out when theyre done. The staff are all friendly and helpful. They have a nice coffee shop right at the car wash too!

For the price its good. Inexpensive and fairly quick for a routine car wash. Lower end car wash compared to the Shell in the Target shopping center. They do detail work but I would never use them.

It is always fast, courteous and excellent customer service...Love that I can still get meticulous Car Detail as well.

Good wash.

Quick, convenient, and professional. I have been coming to this place for over a decade. You can trust my review. This isnt a 5 star resort. So of course they wont hold your towel while youre in the bathroom. But as a car wash business, you will not be disappointed.The car washes generally range from $13 upwards to expensive custom washes. The basic wash is consistent. They begin by vacuuming your car. Then your car will be brought through an automatic car wash machine, similar to a gas stations, but a lot longer and more intricate. Then they hand dry the exterior, personally and individually wash each of your windows and the scrub the interior with cleaner. Your tires and wheels/rims will be washed, cleaned, scrubbed, and dried for that new car finish.Car scents are available upon request for a fee. Card and cash are both accepted. Make sure to leave a tip since these people work hard and fast and try to get you your as soon as possible so you can continue on with your day.For the price, this place is definitely worth it. Highly recommend if youre in the Encinitas area!

Love this place, always an awesome job.

This place was great except for the last couple times i have been here. today got gold wash. specifically asked for clean wheels. Wheels didnt even look like they got any soap and water. chrome running boards filthy. rear windows still had dog slobber all over the inside. needless to say im waiting again for them to clean it over👎👎👎.

Polite, detailed, thorough.

Great people and great service!

Had my car washed here today. Thought everything was great, pretty good value.However; I had counted the change that I carry in my sunglasses case before leaving home to take it to the bank to cash it in. I stopped to get a quick wash, and after tipping the hard working guys at the car wash on El Camino Real in Encintas $4 and driving off, got to the bank and $13 dollars in change was missing. Not that it is a lot of money, but the principle of it. I felt and still feel violated.

So everytime I take my car here, even though I give them the benefit of the doubt it just seems they cant meet my expectations. They be cutting corners which leaves a very sloppy work and on top of that I still give them a tip. So please guys, wash youre customers cars like if it was your own.

Did a great job for a good price! Everyone is friendly and service is quick 👍👍👍👍

Got the platinum service and got different service. There was still dirt around my car and on my floor inside the car. Not coming back ever

I have went to many in Carlsbad area this one has done the best on my car great to see

HORRIBLE, don’t spend your time and your money there go and wash by yourselves LMAO

People spend the extra $10 for the interior cleaning - not stoked on the minimal effort by this crew.

Takes awhile , hand dry but the miss dozens of spots everytime. The machine doesnt get off the bugs or bird poop and they refuse to get it off as they dry it! They just dry over the dirty spots, meaning I grab a rag and spend 10 minutes recleaning my dirty car why they wash. I have a bunch of gift cards so I have to keep using them so but dont look forward to having to tip them while I clean my own car!

Terrible customer service and business practices. Refusing to honor a $4 web only mobile coupon because it wasn’t “printed on paper” is so anti-green. Subpar interior cleaning job as well. #green #environment #Encinitas #California #customerservice

Been going here for years without issues...Other than that they keep breaking stuff off my car like emblems and other parts... there’s a nice cafe inside but it’s literally never open.

Quick. Easy. Fair. Clean. Service.

Wow, I paid $19.99 for the GOLD package assuming that they would at least wipe down the whole interior of the car, but no for that price they only do the driver side. You need to pay $29.99 to get them to do the whole car. Unreal as I was showing property today and needed the whole interior at least wiped down. I talked with the manager and he had them wipe everything down but they did a crappy job and with a crappy attitude. Man what is with the local car washes in Encinitas, they all suck. I wont be back, very disappointed. PS: Streaks all over the outside.

Great service. They were fast and made my car look good as new. I got two express detail packages.

These guys take great care of my car. If I have an issue,they take care of it on the spot. No other car wash establishment takes care of my car.

I was giving it a chance cause prices are really good but wow it was a poor decision. LISTEN TO ALL THE BAD REVIEWS!Staff had terrible attitude, the wiping windows and inside of the car is a complete joke, the vacuuming I would have done it better my self, it was so dirty when we left. The outside of the car was still wet and dirty. I specify “please also do the trunk” and for my surprise the trunk was never touched so it was totally dirty. What a waste of money!! Never coming back.

This place is my go to for a car wash. They took great care of me and my car looked great after.

Did a great job on the outside. But wish they used clean rags on the inside since my truck still smells like dirty old nasty rags 4 days later

This car wash is mediocre. I paid for gold wash several times. I have a dog who does shed in the back of my car. But I swear it didnt even look like they swept at all. I understand my car doesnt have to be Immaculate but I expected it to look better. There are also spots on the exterior and a smudge on the windshield. Disappointing.

Its ok. I paid for the Bronze wash and the quality for that level was very mediocre. Afterwards I could rub dirt spots on the roof off with my finger. Is that ok for $16? There is what they call the front man (quality mgr.) whos job is to check the cars before they wave finnished. I watched the work being done and no one did anything of the sort. Oh well, moving on to try the next car wash in town.

These guys are hard working and do a great job. It may be the least expensive car wash in North County that a true hand wash.

They did a nice job and it was pretty speedy

I can always count on a good car wash.

They do a good job on my giant suv! Thanks guys.

Car looks pretty good but for $30 I was expecting MUCH more. Its was more like a $20 or less value. Wont go back...

Staff is friendly and works very hard to make sure you are pleased! Your car sparkles inside and out. Sometimes a wait however worth it

Not Veteran friendly business. Upfront, I cannot attest to the quality of their car wash - didn’t get that far. I called in advance and asked if they were participating in the free car wash for veterans. The girl on the phone froze as if I had asked to spell “allocution” (no..not off my soap box yet). After about 10min in hold she says excitedly “yes, come in in.” The paise on the phone let me know I was probably going to have this conversation again when I got there...so no surprise when I drive the 15min to Encinitas Car awash when the guy about to take my keys says, “hunh?” I go back in and I said I’m here, I talked to you on the phone. She goes yeah..it’s a $1 off. Umm...come again?Yeah. I asked you “Are you participating in the free car wash for Vets like 20 other locations. In San Diego. You said yes.” Oh.We walk over to the manager and he says...oh no...we don’t do that. I said I drove here based on the conversation I had with your employee. You aren’t going to honor that?We just do a $1 off.I don’t care if your business doesn’t want to honor or recognize vets, I don’t need something free to appreciate those who gave all or reflect on the honor it is to serve. I do ask if you promise something. Go through with it, or you apologies reflect a genuine belief that your customers are not just another vehicle.

Great wash and very affordable especially with the internet coupons at their website.

Ive been going there for over 30 years! Always great quality service, competitive prices and friendly faces.

Decent wash and wax service they are pretty fast. I would come back again

Reasonably priced if you use a coupon. They miss on the drying sometimes though

The people that work there are nice, Cool they have a fruit smoothie kinda place inside, bad news they were closed when i went 3pm friday..... great customer service was amazing and the inside was clean an organized. With that being said I damn near paid 20 bucks for a job I could have done better. I suck at washing my car but at least I know how to vacuum. I literally have never been here before an since I was in the area I thought Id stop by. Im so disappointed I see spots all on my front window, smears on all windows except for back left one. Crumbs and real dirt on floor and mats. Water spots on right side hood, and on right passenger seat. Im a uber driver so people dirty up my car quickly by far this is worse car wash.Most of my reviews get 5 stars but I couldnt let this go un mentioned. The bottom line is they charge way to much for the job theyre doing. Not to mention to use coupons online they need to be printed out.

I had lots of (dead) bugs on my front bumper and a dusty interior from a trip to the mountains. ECW did a great job cleaning the interior and exterior.

The place is good, Encinitas pricing but job well done.

Nice car wash. Always had good experiences here.

Nice cleaning in reasonable time.

Great job.

They do a great job. Always.

They did an impeccable job detailing my car. I selected the Mini Detail option and it was worth the $150!!

Inconsistent. Sometimes they do a good job and at times, I should have washed my own car. Place is clean.

Our preferred car wash. They always do an excellent job.

Excellent work and reasonable .

Friendly staff. Consistently good service

They always do a great job and always dont take too long

Stick with the car wash, dont get detailing! I have been going for years and decided to get my interior cleaned. Its been 3 weeks and my car still stinks like a bottle of cheap perfume. Honestly I would pay them $150 if they could undo it.

Didnt do a very good job cleaning my car. A little effort would have made a huge difference!!

Horrible job. Didnt even touch the interior, wouldnt help take care of spot scratches. Would not recommend.

Fast and cheap and pretty good. Busy on weekends so show up early.

Very poor service high prices car an SUV not clean very good 4 the u pay

So far no issues

Some of the staff have a terrible attitude. When you pay $15 for a regular wash and pay $2 extra for a large vehicle, The back should be vacuumed and the interior of the windows should be done. One of the workers talked back when I asked him to do the front interior window. Very disappointed won’t go back.

I was displeased with the cleaning inside my car,half done and I have been a customer for years. Might have to find me another place to clean my car.

They do a decent job for the price

Great service all around!

Great job for the price

Very nice job on the interior detail!

Just another car wash

Akwats the best around!
