Wow! What a deal! For $ 6 I got a broken wash wand so I could not wash my car and a broken hose at the vacuum so I could not do that.
I realize that the 21st century is all about getting far less for more $$ — this place is a poster child for that sad fact.

just left the place where a woman was cussing up a storm because the machine swallowed all her quarters. On top of that, the vacuum cleaner has as much power as one would sucking through a straw. Save the trouble and get your car cleaned at a real car wash for only a few bucks more.

I was here on a Sunday morning. I did not have any quarters with me but there was an attendant who gave some tokens in exchange for dollars. the water speed was good. The soap wasn’t that great. I bring my own brush and soap in a bucket. I also bring my own towels. All in all I spend 4 bucks and was satisfied with my job. Good thing is I don’t have to tip anyone or worry about scratching my car. This is much better than Harv car wash nearby, u just need some soap, brush, bucket and some towels.

Place is a scam. They provide $ change machines that only provide you with tokens, no actual $. If you only have a $ 20 bill and need $ 4 for a carwash, you are left with $ 16 in useless tokens.
Asked the guy working here if i could get $ back for my tokens and he initially said yes. Unfortunately he doesn’t actually speak enough English to undestand this qn and then later said no, no way.
Don’t come here unless you have exactly $ 4 to spend.

I don’t know what everyone is talking about. I pulled into the far right bay and I had a timer. It was really high up and hard to see but it’s up there. My complaint is the weak ass hose pressure. Even at my advanced age my urine stream is stronger than this. If I can put my hand in front of the water and it doesn’t hurt from the spray, then it’s not strong enough. In my haste I scratched my car with the nozzle of the sprayer. Some car washes like these have plastic protector tips for idiots like me. Not a bad price of 4 tokens for a wash. 5 dollars and I got my mountain bike and car washed with a wash mitt that I brought. Without that mitt the car would have been filthy still from the weak spray.

There are no timers, and I misjudged the time and had to get more tokens, but it’s now 4 bucks to to start a cycle. on the second round of tokens I got a Dave and Busters token from the machine which didn’t work, so to wash my car it cost me 9 bucks. The pink soap dyed my hands (from manually scraping dirt from my car that the brush wouldn’t remove) and my shoes.

I came here to wash my car, for about $ 3.00 you get 6 minutes to wash and rinse your car. Which is fine but they don’t have a lot of options like wax that other coin-​ops have. We bought a few towels to dry my car after except one machine ate my quarters. All in all I dont think I’ll be back to this particular coin-​op.

I usually go to a coin-​op in Mt. View, but this one was conveniently located near some errands. I’ve been here a couple times before over the years. I usually avoided this Saratoga Av place because it was one of the pricier coin-​ops.
Good news: The price is now down enough to be competitive with the one at Bay&Oak in Mt. View.
Bad news: Token ran carwash. If you don’t have ones, you’ll possibly spend more than you need for your wash.
Bad news: Two of the five bays have broken dials that point to processes (rinse, soap, wax…) other than what the hose will output. You can spend a dollar’s worth of wash time figuring out which is which.
