I wanted to give an update on the awesome service I received at Magnolia car wash.
When my Land Rover was finished with its bath I noticed there was a large scuff mark on the hood. At 140 000 miles I was not surprised.
I asked Steve if they could fix it, and they did even better. Not only did they remove the scuff mark and make my hood look hundred percent better they also removed 90% of a scratch that two other professionals could not remove.
I will definitely be back to Magnolia car wash with my next car!

I came here after reading on Unilocal very good. I have a black 2016 Srx asked when I pulled up please vac under car mats and the seated had some sand in the seams. Got home not only was there still sand in seats on floors and they let sit in sun now I vacuumed the whole car myself and now am waxing out water spots. Who leaves a new black car in sun. Am 64 in good shape but had 7 discs replaced in back. That’s way I paid for the 22.99 $ car wash plus tip. My. Back is burning in bent over position. Guess muscle relaxer and pain pill tonight. What a disappointment. They owe me my money back and hand wax entire car as am doing right now. I never write bad comments but Katie bar the doors. Give then 1 star for washing.

Never had an issue with this place. They have a new automatic membership system that doesn’t require a stamp card. The rewards aren’t wonderful but it’s something.
I’m assume this is a mid-​tier car washing place. Not dirt cheap but not a rip off.

We just recently moved to Fountain Valley and wanted to find a good local car wash. So I took my car in and met, Steve, the owner of Magnolia car wash. We couldn’t be happier!!! The staff and owner were super nice and were very thorough with my car wash and what we needed to maintain the car’s paint and shine. If you need a great car wash with a friendly staff and a owner who’s really involved with the health of his business and the happiness of his clients, this is the place to be!!!

Update: after having an issue with sap on my wife’s car, the customer service provided really was above and beyond, giving this place 5 stars. Steve explained everything that had to be done, and how we need to get the car in ASAP if there’s any sap, otherwise the stuff bakes on, which requires a high speed buff to get it off. In the end, my wife’s car looks like it got a new paint job. I’ll keep coming here with every vehicle I own.

This car wash place is very organized.
Once the cars are done being washed, there’s an organized way that they’re lined up for drying.
I brought my car in and was very pleased with the service. No spots, happy employees. I spent about 30 dollars for a wash, no water mark was left behind. No dog hair in my car! I will be coming back!

They do a pretty good job in a reasonable amount of time for the money. They also seem to do quite a bit of business with Hyundai so your time there could be a bit longer if they decided to bring a dozen cars over to be washed (which happened to me when I was there). But, even with that, they were efficient and got my car done in about 35 minutes. That seems to be the norm for a hand vacuum, drive through car wash, hand dry place. I did have to borrow a towel from them near the end to get the smaller parts they missed. Not uncommon for most of these places not to wipe the bottom of each door (when they don’t and you close the door, the water splashes on the door sill).
Also, I’m not a big fan of the tire dressing. Most of the time it splashes on to your rear quarter panel when you drive away (look for it the next time you have it done and drive away at normal highway speeds).
Anyway, I digress, as mentioned, good for the price. You get a discount if you check in with Unilocal.It will work if you need a decent wash. Good luck!

Came here hoping to get an amazing deal for a nice wax hand wash… My expectations were met and more!!! Steve, one of the owners, hooked it up with quality hand wax and made sure that every thing was taken care of. My Subaru was desperate of a clean and I am very happy with the service as well as the efficiency of the workers.
They even buffed out some big scuffs on my front bumper! My Subaru is very happy. :)

I have been coming to Magnolia Car Wash for over 10 years. The previous owner Warren had a prepaid card where you bought 10 washes, and the 11th wash was free. It averaged to about $ 11/​wash for a SUV.
The new owners Steve & Bryan have an unlimited program: $ 45 for a car and $ 50 for a SUV. I bring my vehicles in weekly, so you can do the math.
My main goals when I have my car washed is to have the windows clean inside and out, quick turnaround, and recycled water. Steve & Bryan’s guys do all the foregoing, but also do a good job on the exterior. I also bring my vehicles here for waxing. I believe it is $ 35 for a car, and $ 40 for a SUV for a hand wax they perform in the shade.
I keep my cars a long time (10 years running on my SUV), and I like them running good on the inside, and looking good on the outside. MCW makes sure my vehicles are in tip top shape on the outside. I have had several peeps tell me my 10 year old vehicle looks brand new. Thx Steve & Bryan!

I go here nearly every week and have never had poor service or less than a great car wash. Everyone very friendly. They use water wise processes. Save water and get your car wash here.

I’m not a snob about too much except for donuts and burgers, and car washes. I don’t like to take my baby to those drive-​through washes, and prefer to give her a little more TLC at a hand car wash establishment. The problem is that some of the hand car washes I’ve been to employ careless or lazy (sometimes both) employees.
Not this place!
They take great care of my car every time I come in, and all at reasonable prices with great customer service. Not to mention, their waiting lounge inside is super comfortable and stocked with free coffee. The owners truly understand that having a business is more than just delivering a great product, but also a positive customer experience. They also offer a rewards card where you can earn discounts and free washes.
I’m a little bummed I don’t live as close to it as I used to, but I still come here when I need to because I really just don’t trust any other place to do a quality job at an affordable price.

Bad experience… though with all these great reviews I don’t know why it happened.
I popped on in Saturday morning, the place wasn’t too busy so I was pumped about not being there forever. I opted for the hot wax special which was only $ 24.99, a bargain. Everything seemed to be lining up all in my favor. I headed across the street to get some lunch while they took care of my baby.
As I am heading back to the parking lot, they are pulling my Jeep up and she is ready to go. I walk in to get my keys, and head back out to take a better look. Right away I noticed a round dirt spot probably about 12″ in diameter, I wipe my hand through it and it turns black. Then I start walking around and there is shit everywhere. On the hood there is a quarter size blob of something sticky, seriously how do you miss these things. The guy who I started with came over and asked what was wrong, and I showed him everything… it was pretty dirty considering it had just been washed.
Certainly wouldn’t come here again, and they didn’t even apologize. I went in to wash the black crap off my hands and left.

Awesome customer service from the time I drove up to the point when I left. The staff worked hard and efficient when servicing my vehicle as well as all the other vehicles. I liked to see that it was constantly hoping the whole time I was there not to mention the the awesome 30% off. A double bonus. Even met the owner Steve nice to see he cares about his business and lays a helping hand to his employees and checks on all the vehicles.
This place was very clean and comfortable seating.
This is my new go to spot!
Thanks again. Next time I return I will be purchasing the monthly unlimited car wash.
They even offered me a free wash upon paying just for my name. What a great loyalty program!
Will recommend to everyone in my area

I’m confused. How are there more dirt marks AFTER my car wash?
I kind of had high hopes for this place because there were so many good reviews and also because people kept saying that there was new, better ownership. My first impression was that they had great customer service. I was impressed that they had complimentary coffee and snacks for the wait.
The outside of my car was great, super clean with no watermarks. But once I saw the inside, it all went downhill. My cup holder was clearly not wiped down, there was still spilled coffee stains. There were also dirt marks that were not there when I brought my car in (???). Cherry on top was when I wiped down my steering wheel and the cloth ended up completely black.
Usually i’m not very picky. I understand that sometimes spots are accidentally missed. However, if i’m purchasing the 2nd highest tier wash (which was $ 23+tip), I expect to not have to wipe my car down myself afterwards because of how dirty it still is. We all deserve second chances and I appreciated the good customer service, so I’ll probably wait it out and hope the new owners take this review into consideration and work out the kinks.
