One of the best self serve car wash in the area. Very spacious with lots of amenities. Absolutely love that it’s 24/7. The car wash stalls are easy to drive into right off the street. It accepts card and dollar coins but not quarters. There are machines to trade in your cash for coins but make sure the “not in service” light isn’t on. The car wash charges $1=1 min and they require a minimum of 5 min, so minimum $5. If you’re using coins and you need a little more time to wash, make sure to add more coins before the timer in complete bc it will make you buy minimum 5 min again. That’s why I like using my card bc any extra time beyond 5 min is automatically charged. If it’s your first time, it can definitely be a little confusing, but basically the whole thing is controlled by a dial and you turn the dial to the specific function you want to activate. You don’t have to go in order but I’ll list them in the order they have them. So the first function is soapy water spray high pressured, then soapy brush, then spray regular water, then triple foam clean, wax, spot-free rinse, blow dry. Keep in mind this is all FROM MEMORY so I’m most likely missing one step or there are some out of order. You don’t have to go through every single function that would take a lot longer than 5 min You can skip some. It all depends how much money you want to spend. If you only want a basic wash that is under 5 min, then just use the soapy water spray, foam brush for tough places but be minimal with this, very quick rinse with high pressures plain waiter then go over entire car with spot free rinse. You do that after the plain water rinse because it’s NOT high pressured so it will take longer to rinse all the soap off esp if you used the foam brush. I don’t recommend using the blow dry. It takes FOREVER and you will def be using the max 15 min. Work fast and pay attention to how much time has gone by there’s a timer that shows this because it definitely goes by a lot quicker than you think. Just make sure you turn it to off when you’re done or it keeps charging you. Now, there will be 4 different tools/hoses. If you’re new, you won’t really know which one to use until you turn it to a specific function, then stuff will start to come out of the hose that you’re supposed to use. It’s all a learning process! After washing, you drive forward to the vacuuming area where you can pay $2 for 4 or $3 for 6 min to vacuum the interior of your car. There are 3 settings: turbo, super, and fragrance. The turbo setting gives 3.5 minutes of time, whereas the super power setting gives you 4 minutes. Fragrance is 1 min. The options are piña colada, cherry, and new car smell. They also have these “vending” machines where you insert money and you can get rags, car freshener, towels, and other car cleaning supplies. There’s also 2 sinks with running water and one of those rolling things that lets you squeeze out towels. Overall I love this car wash and how roomy it is, the extra amenities, and that usually it’s not too busy or crowded! Oh and best part is the washing stalls AND vacuum area is shaded!! Not all car washes have this. There’s also bright lights there at night that really help you see, but they are turned off after a certain hour. Oh and one more thing.. the homeless often come here and dig through the trash cans, so just be aware of that. You’ll usually encounter at least 1 during your trip here. They usually dump out the trash can barrels, sort through the trash, and just leave all the trash on the ground. Some also just sit next to the trash can in the drying stall, preventing anyone from using it. Cops don’t do anything about it either just saw a sheriff car pull up to a homeless man angrily throwing trash out of the barrel and leaning down exposing his butt crack, but the sheriff only stayed for like 30 seconds and the homeless man continued on his rampage. Now it looks like he’s cooking dope and shooting up. He’s been here for over an hour.
Don’t expect anything super high end, it’s a self service car wash, probably one of the few affordable places to get your cleaned in the area. If you come on the weekends when the weather is nice do expect a wait. They take credit card at the individual stalls.
If you just want to throw your money away - this is the place you need. They will be happy to charge your card giving no service back. 1 star is actually too many for this
$15 for 6 minutes of me washing my own car. Not worthy it. You can’t pay with quarters and there’s no machine that accepts or exchanges quarters. Never again.
Always a reliable place to wash my car, every machine has always worked and it is always clean here. Any issues that arise, I truly believe the people who misuse and take out their frustrations on the machines are the reason for mess, broken parts and so on. If you want a good service, be a good customer, not an entitled one.
If you live in WeHo and want a convenient place to self-service wash your vehicle, this is the spot! I've gone here for years, and haven't had a single issue.
With 7 car wash bays, this place always has one to pull into to clean up your vehicle. No quarters - only accepts $1 coins and credit cards/debit cards for transactions. They do have a coin changer for dollar bills. It’s $5 for the first 6 minutes and 32 seconds, then $0.25 for each additional 19 seconds. They advertise a new air shammee which is a way to blow dry your vehicle in the same place you wash it. It’s okay, takes a little time, but worth it if you don’t have a shammee to dry with and want to avoid water drops. Nice vacuum pumps in the back with dispensers that dish out cleaning towels, air fresheners and inside car wipes for the dash board. Open 24 hours!
I drive a SUV so it’s hard to wash the top part of the car. I’ve been to some self car wash where they had a platform on the side where one can go up and wash the top part. The brush doesn’t release a lot of form which slows down the process and since the clock is ticking, literally, their instruments should work properly. I highly doubt there will be enough time to use the air to dry your car, but if you do get to the point, you will find no air pressure, so save your sweat for the washing part.
I have a mini and it was a quick and easy job. Though better instructions are needsd for sure in the absence of an attendant. I'd recommend for sure if you're not too picky and are a hands one type like myself.
It’s difficult to choose from new car smell, pine forest, or candy apple fresheners with the overwhelming aroma of urine. I like that they have an “air shammy” but mine was broken. Otherwise, a colorful yet friendly clientele and credit cards accepted so who’s to complain?
