Hometown Car Wash & Detail Shop is the best full-service 100% hand car wash. We do not have any brushes in the tunnel. It's a very simple and safe washing process. First we remove the surface grit by pressure wash. Then we apply the gentle soap by hand. We only use the best quality soap and waxes period. We will get your car clean down to the chrome, usually in about 20-35 minutes. We strive to provide the very highest quality wash at the lowest prices anywhere in the whole bay area.

Pretty darn good car wash for cheap! After a filthy drive in the snow from Tahoe back towards home, we stopped by this place on New Year's Eve no less and got a pretty nice car wash for under $18, including a wash, hand-drying, vacuuming, etc. And it took just 30 minutes flat! Granted, it's not a super detailed inside cleaning job (there's still dust in the nooks and crannies of the car), but it's highly unlikely you'll find something for this price in San Francisco!

I just purchased the basic outer wash, as I am disabled and it is difficult for me to get out of the car. At the end, the gentleman was kind enough to take my payment in for me and I let him keep the change. I rarely tip, but if I would have had enough on me I would have given them an extra $20 to split between the four men who cleaned the car. My car was EXTREMELY FILTHY and it took some effort for them to get it clean, but they worked diligently to do a great job. This was my second time there and I feel they did a good job both times. This time I only had the exterior done, but the first time they did the inside also. I will definitely go back and would recommend them.

Avoid this car wash!!
I took my car to be washed and vacuumed this past Sunday and I left with my trunk broken. The associates refused to take any responsibility of course and all the owner offered was a free car wash. I had opened and closed my trunk just fine that morning so the owner telling me they were not responsible for "mechanical issues" is just BS. $900 later; I had to have the latch replaced because it was broken. If you don't know how to work on newer cars, don't offer hand wash services. This car wash is ran by an unprofessional business owner and should be closed down.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Todd S.Fairfield, CA6013015Apr 1, 2023Updated review

Thank you we appreciate your feedback.
Feb 7, 2020Previous reviewI bring all 6 vehicles here. Some times half or one side is washed better than others. Last time I would have only gave 1 star because my new Chevy truck was still half dirty once I got home to realize I did nothing about it. They do an ok to good job. I always tip well prior to seeing my vehicles. I'm extremely loyal and try to give them all our business. Wish they could keep it constantly good.

I have my go to spot in Vacaville... my truck looked like I just drove it through a corn field, so I slithered in here last minute for a wash. For $20/outside only, this place is the best. You pay $15 at a drive thru wash at a gas station with no manual drying or tire dressing... pay the extra 5 and get some humans to help you out. You're welcome creatures.

Wonderful Service! It's hard to find a Touch-less Car Wash for my car, and this one is TOUCHLESS! NO MACHINES, just Good Old Fashioned, HAND WASH! It costs $40.00 for THE WORKS, but is totally worth the cost. From Inside to outside, perfectly cleaned, including wax.
Highly Recommend this Business!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Really great family owned local business. They have reasonable pricing, the inside waiting area is very clean and they work hard. I gave it 4 stars because they are a tad bit slower than other car washes I have been to, and their customer service could use some work. When you pull into the car wash, there usually isn't anyone there to greet you so you are confused as what to do or who to speak to so this could use some improvement or maybe they can post a sign saying "please wait in your car and someone will help you shortly" or something like that. Anywho give them a try!

A true hand wash in the great value, they do a wonderful job and absolutely take good care of you a gem and well worth a visit. Alley recommend them, regardless of the type of car you are driving. Take the time and check it out.

This is my go-to Car Wash what I love about it is that they hand wash my car wash I feel important when I stepped into this business they treat you with personal care I know that when I go there and leave my car looks exceptionally beautiful my car is important to me as well as the look of it inside and out I don't go anywhere else to wash my car it could go on for a month or more and I won't go anywhere else because I know when I go to this business I get what I need.

Today I went to 5 Star car wash on Travis. They did a terrible job. My car looked like it had never been washed. So I drove it to Home Town Car Wash.
They washed it and it came out clean and shinny.
I love Home Town. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because the waiting area is so dirty . The glass door looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years and there is a narrow sitting area outside along the window. That area was also dirty and it looked like somebody has thrown up there under the sitting area weeks ago.
They need to clean and have more seating outside, especially because of the coronavirus.
They do the best washes, waxes and detailing but the building needs to be cleaned up.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information
