It was relatively busy when I arrived, and only one spot was vacant. Unfortunately, the credit card reader was not working at that very spot.
When I went toward the 'office' area in the middle, Frank approached me and asked if I needed help. I explained that I was trying to figure things out bc I was not sure if I had quarters, and the credit card machine was not working.
What impressed me, and made my day was how Frank went way above and beyond to help me out. I am not sharing details because it would be easy for the misguided to abuse his spirit.
Suffice it to say that I am not sure if Frank was a staff member, a 'manager', or owns the place. But, he did treat the establishment and its customers as if he is committed to building a long lasting business.
This was my first time here. And, I know I will go out of my way to wash my car here. And, if Frank is there, I will bring him a six-pack of beer !Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 22, 2023
Place really does the trick to be honest in regards to washing and cleaning your vehicle. Mind you it is indeed a self-car wash where you do indeed do all the work.
The place has the typical coin self car wash amenities such as wash gun with different sets and also vacuum stations to clean out the inside. The overall payment is US Coin which is a plus because if you have extra you can use it again for anything rather than tokens that you'll probably not use again. There are two coin machines and also vending machine that has extra items for your vehicle such as car fresheners, wipes, reusable cloths etc.
Some downsides I'd say is uneven pavement near the wash area. I've twisted my ankle sadly by stepping on it while spraying my vehicle. Wait times during hot days are a bummer and also possible out of order stations/vacuums.
Overall the place is decently good for you to just wash and clean your vehicle.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Regie D.South of Market, San Francisco, CA1183Sep 25, 2023
This car wash is great for the price. For $5 you can get your car pretty clean, assuming it's not heavily dirty or caked on with mud. There's plenty of space to park and dry your car after.
As for the vacuum, it's a bit pricey at $1.50, the length of time that you get to vacuum is pretty short too. I don't think you'll be able to vacuum your entire vehicle thoroughly without rushing.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 500244333Oct 18, 2022
Self wash car wash
*uses quarters but they do have a cash change machine*
There's 4 washing stations and ~8-10 vacuum stations. The middle row, last vacuum cost a quarter more than the sign and there's only 1 station that takes card.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Cat V.Millbrae, CA04Aug 16, 2023
This is my go to car wash!! It is easy to work and not too expensive. I met the owner while I was here during my last visit and they were very kind. I truly love this place and would recommend it to everyone.

Use at your own risk. Horrible I mean horrible brushes if you want to destroy your paint be my guest. Wash you car here your paint will be trashed. If you look at your cars paint in the sun at a angle before using these crappy hard bristle brushes it will probably have less damage after using their brushes mind you I just had my vehicle paint corrected so it was really clean no spider webbing no holograms really clean. We were going to a party so wanted to clean the wife's car I already know to go light but these brushes were garbage super hard and left our car full of damage do not use them at all.

I come here to wash my car for last over 3yrs and recently I came across bad experience with the person who works there. I don't find the owner or tried many times to call to complain but the phone number is busy with voice messages.. it does not allow to leave a message..
person works there have a attitude towards whom he feels I have had encountered with same person couple of occasions.. I am here to wash my car and spent so much of money on this location for over three years .. I am so disappointed with this place, person who works there treats customers in different ways ..Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0May 11, 2020Previous reviewMy place to wash my car ... it has lot of space to wash the car and vacuum/clean the entire car.. It's a great place to take your car and do your own hand car wash by your self.....

Very cheap owner. The water is cold (all good car wash provide hot water in pressure machines). Lot of trash around. This place is only surviving because of luck of competitors around.

This place really sucks if I can give it. Zero stars I would. First, I want to change machine, I put in five dollars, and it ain't my money. I guess this happens often because there's a phone number that you can reach and text, so I text them, and waiting there for about 10 to 15 minutes. They did not respond, so then I decided to just go vacuum my car, the machines were not taking any quarters, so I swipe my credit card it got charged, but then the vacuum did not work! So I guess I gave him a third chance, I went to a different vacuum, same thing swept in my car, and the vacuum did not work. Another client later told me that they didn't work I wish she had told me earlier. So basically, I spent $10, did not even get to wash my car or vacuum my car. The customer service sucks. They need to definitely replace the machines here. Please do not go here, you might lose money.

Stop by here for the first time before picking up a friend from SFO.
Easy to operate and has multiple stations. I didn't notice much wears and tears like some other post indicated. Good amount of traffic but there're always spots open. There's a staff on site to help and answer questions.
Minus 1 star because their vacuum station don't accept cards - coins only. They do have a change machine on site but I didn't carry cash and had to drive over to bank before coming back.
You'll get the job done here and perhaps grab In n Out nearby as a nice reward for yourself =)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
