The vacuums are a 10/10, but the wash itself didn't get the back of my hatchback. It was also pretty wet after it went through the drying system and there are no complimentary towels to finish drying up the car.
I will come back if my car needs a small rinse but nothing major.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Hello Margarita,
Thanks for taking the time to review our business. We have a clean car guarantee and if you alert one of our attendants, we would be happy to let you through the wash to make sure your car is clean, dry and shiny. We also stock every one of our vacuum stalls with clean microfiber towels at the bottom of our towel stands marked “clean”. We are glad you enjoyed the vacuums and hope your next experience is better - 175185267Oct 16, 2020
OK what the heck!? Did I just get my car washed at a club?
Honestly sometimes I just go to the car wash to view the lights.
This place is super rad! It's not like any other Drive in car wash this is different. It's super easy to just purchase your wash and they have really good deals throughout the week! Like for example you have nine dollar Tuesday (I think it's 9) and Bogo Wednesday.
Once you are directed in entering the car wash area get ready for the greatest experience! The lights and the soap makes such a pretty combination!
With your payment you also get free vacuum time, a Dash towel, a drying towel, and even some glass Spray!
Everything is super easy to use and convenient. I suggest that you either go really early or closer to closing time because in the middle of the day it gets really packed for vacuuming.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Aiden M.Santa Clara, CA083Sep 28, 2022
The top wash is $29 and it leaves a perfect wax coat I love the additional accommodation of free vacuum and towels to dry off any excess water & the interior.

Worked for me. Took about 5 mins or less. Just bring some microfiber towels to dry afterwards.

Full disclosure: you do most of the work to clean your car. That can be either a good or bad thing depending on who you ask.
1. You pay and go thru a drive thru wash. Right before you enter you are given a cleaning cloth and a wet dashboard towel (at first I was confused)
2. After the wash you drive around and park to start vacuuming your car. I like that it has no timer
3. You then have to towel dry your car
4. Take as long as you want ;)
I like it but at first I thought it was your typical car wash until it wasn't. ;)
I would go there againHelpful 3Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - N N.San Jose, CA35412380Oct 20, 2019
Car wash may leave some markings on car but it's to be expected with a machine wash. They have a bucket before entering, incase your car is super dirty. You can presoap it down.
I would recommend bringing extra towels to dry off your car if needed and come in during the morning so there is no line for vacuums. The layout of the wash itself is a bit weird. You need to pull out into the street after the wash... then pull back Into the waiting line for vacuums. Overall it's a fully functioning wash with friendly staff!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you for your review Thao!
I'd like to address a few of your observations: First, in regards to the marks; I'm unsure what you mean by marks-we use closed cell-foam brushes which are soft and gentle to ensure no scratches! Second, the prep station is actually for bug splatter and bird droppings as these are acidic and we don't use any harsh chemicals inside our tunnel which are needed to remove those acids but our tunnel will clean even the dirtiest, muddiest car without needing to use the prep station! Third, our top wash, the Extreme Special includes a buff-n-dry at the end of the tunnel and unlimited microfiber towels! And lastly, our lay out is designed this way as we are an express exterior and offer the free vacuums for self-serve but some of our customers don't use the vacuums and take off right after the wash so we have designed it this way to avoid those customers from having to wait in a vacuum line. - Darlene R.San Jose, CA461617May 2, 2022
My first time here on Saturday April 30 in the middle of the afternoon about 3pm. Super super busy. However I decided to stay because of so many good ratings! The service was quick and I only purchased a $15 simple car wash. As my car was not really dirty but mostly dusty from the wind. My first time being here I did not know what was necessary to do plus I am handicap. So I got in line and when I got to the machine to pay I spoke with a very helpful young lady and explain to her that this is my first time here and I didn't know what should be done. she explained completely the different types of washing that was available. after finding out what kind of service that I wanted she inserted my card herself as I could not reach the machine without trying to actually get out of my car. She explained to me where to drive through and also where to park to vacuum my car out once it was finished and also where to park until the vacuum cleaning spots were available. They had numerous spots for vacuuming even though crowded. But there was two young men that were directing all the cars where to park and as soon as one was finished, they knew immediately which cars were waiting so there was no line skipping as far as having to wait and someone else get ahead of you. So I was very pleased at how well organized everything was even though it was extremely busy. I enjoyed the fact that they also had free clean towels available and disinfectant sprays available to dry your car and detail clean the inside as well should that be something a customer desired. and being handicapped they also had a couple of spots reserved strictly for people who have disabilities. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Great neighborhood drive thru car wash and super easy to get in out. Vacuuming self-serve stations are such a plus! They even hand you a towel to dry off and their attendants visible and helpful. Just try to go during the off-peak hours it tends to get pretty busy in the afternoons

The car wash is NOT a non-touch automated wash. If you care about the paint on your car, I'd steer away.
Since my car is old, I don't care about that as much. I did the $18 wash. The front of my car was not cleaned well while other parts was cleaned well. The automated wash doesn't seem to dry the car well, so I had to ask for a towel to manually dry myself.
It's an okay automated wash, but I've experience better automated car washes.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Wei,
Thank you for your honest review. That is correct, we are not “touch free”. We use closed cell foam cloth with lots of soap to gently clean your car. The old myth that non “touch free” washes damage the paint is no longer true in properly built modern washes. We don’t use “bristles” or “brushes” on the paint which 30 years ago if not properly lubricated could of caused some damage. We wash hundreds of cars daily and have not had one problem. One thing about “touch free” washes people are not aware about is they have to use strong chemicals(acid) to get a car clean because they don’t have any friction. Our chemicals are very mild, safe and environmentally friendly. Thank you. - Zeeshan M.San Jose, CA24438Sep 26, 2020
I was looking for a drive through car wash nearby, went there today and it was very very busy which is a great sign. Our car was very dirty and a lot of bugs from a long drive - car came out spick and span. They also have a free vacuum (quite powerful) and towels to dry the car. Highly recommend it.
*** Don't be misled by the pictures posted of broken antennas and scratches from the car wash.
Added bonus - as you drive through they have colorful lights which makes it fun for the kids.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
