Q:
Is there a difference between the three price points besides the cost? I don't see a difference - is there one?
A:
Nope. It's the same. They might shoot some extra liquid at your car if you pay a few dollars more, but you won't be able to tell the difference so just go with the cheapest one.

Where to wash the car on Tuesday night? Now I know - here. Very fast, high quality and inexpensive. A Basic Wash costs $11.95. There was no line. It took me literally 5 minutes. Much faster than a self-service car wash.

Gas Stations are becoming rarer and rarer in this City.
Gas Stations with a drive thru Car Wash are the Unicorns of San Fran....that and a Republican Board of Supervisor.
This Shell location is clean an well laid out.
The car wash is quick and easy and pretty good.
Tip: You no longer get a discount for filling up your tank. Go for the Carwash and pass the gas ( always wanted to say that....Sorry!)Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - David O.San Francisco, CA109273Mar 13, 2024
I think I've never seen an automatic car wash this bad before. I just spent $22 on the "top" wash, and my bumpers look like they were never touched. I ended up having to wash them by hand. This is the last time I use this place; it's a joke.

I used to come here and be fairly satisfied. However, more recently I have been super disappointed. The last time I visited I showed the attendant how dirty my car still was by wiping it with a white towel. The dirt was clearly visible. His response showed no concern in the quality of service they were providing. He then went on to condescendingly say "Do you know what a car wash is for? To make your car look clean." I responded by saying "No, a car wash is supposed to CLEAN YOUR CAR." I left. His comment was actually laughable to me. Will not be returning

This place is should not running business!
I was in the line and their employees came ask me to pay ahead. I picked the #1 which is $13.99 . I was following in the line with the car in front of me and then one of the employee ask me to let another car cut in front of me when I already wait about 15 mins to get to my turn because he paid higher amount and I didn't agree and two men came up to me and argument with attitude with me. I asked for refund then i can let that guy get in front of me. And then they said because that guy is nice and I'm not . Oh yeah! Thank for your service. This is my First time and also my last time.

the vacuums are not as strong as you think they look lol
For the price; it's a good place to go and clean the car. I wouldn't recommend trying to handle heavy duty cleaning with these howeverHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Christine S.San Francisco, CA95513Jun 13, 2023
Thank you for the easy and quick car wash. My car looks great and shiny. It was only $15 for the service.

So you know if you live here in SF how many places there are to wash your car for cheap. There aren't that many. And most of the time the lines are so long that you might was well leave your car dirty. Twice I've had my side view mirror broken off at this particular car wash. The last time I visited which was Monday 11/28/2022. I was desperate to have my car washed. My side mirrors were dirty and I couldn't see out of them while merging on the freeways here in the Bay Area. So I pull in to the gas station ready to top gas tank off and purchase a car wash. But I noticed that the line for the car wash was short so I skipped the top off and went straight to the wash. I get there and hand the guy my card and he starts yelling "YOU HAVE TO PAY FIRST!!, NEXT TIME READ THE SIGNS!" But there wasn't any sign to pay first. I apologized and he keeps berating me calling me stupid and a 'pendeja'...
He let me go through the car wash and I picked up my credit card at the employee box they are forced to work in.
I get it when the customer isn't always right but being disrespectful isn't cool. Calling names isn't cool. I even paid for the expensive wash and he didn't even clean my front windshield.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lizette H.San Francisco, CA3425947Oct 28, 2022
Prices have gone up- a basic wash is 13.95. Your car can get cleanish (go thru twice to get the bird poop off) and wet all at once (your car will not be dry after running through). The line only goes out to Geary st- but it moves pretty quickly. I go here when I don't want to drive all the way to the Shine n Seal car wash in Bayshore. The attendants are nice enough and they do spray down/ pre wash your back window. Give it a try, there aren't that many options in SF.

Car wash hours are 8am - 8:30pm
Car wash is a bit expensive for what you get - my car still had some bugs and gunk on it, but all things considered it gets the job done. Line can get long, so would recommend coming at slightly off hours (ex 10:30am had a long line, 6:30pm has a short line)Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kurt S.San Francisco, CA7308May 24, 2022
Robot car wash ALWAYS misses big chunks of your car, and it shoved you thru the dryer so fast that your car is covered in spots 10 minutes later. Stopped going because I always got home and had to Re wash the car by hand.
