I'm normally one to sit and write a positive review than a negative one, however, the service and treatment I received here today was reprehensible! I took my car in and it took them almost 50 mins to "clean" my car. The man who dried my car spent so much time chatting with the guys around him that at least two on each side finished before mine. When I did the walk around check there were dirt and grime marks all over my car. Mind you, it is a brand new car that I've had three weeks and they thoroughly washed my car before I took it home because I insisted on it! I told the man that there were a lot of spots on my car and he got snarky with me and told me I needed a detail! I said "Huh? I just bought this car! It's brand stinking new!" He told me he didn't care and that it wasn't his fault. Not, gosh, I'm sorry, and then explaining that age of car doesn't make a difference. I asked for the manager and he told me to go get him myself. THAT PISSED ME OFF! Sorry, I've worked in customer service for 20 plus years and you NEVER blow a customer off! EVER! I had no idea who the manager was and told the car washer that, so he flagged him over to us. I told the manager my concerns and showed him the spots and he focused not on the finger prints on the windows, or the bird poop on the door that didn't get washed away and was neglected. Nope, he focues only on the sap on the back of my car and told me, again, I needed to detail my car. Not once did he apologize for how his cleaner spoke to me. Not once did he apologize for not cleaning my car, rather, he focused on one spot because he knew the rest was a legit claim. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE! They are rude and don't care enough to do a decent job. Since driving my car back I've found grass on my floor mats, bird poop on my window, he cleaned it off my door, fingerprints on my front window, spots on my front passenger fender, and the list goes on and on. They did NOT do even a decent job and because the man chit chatted with his buddies instead of working it took him almost an hour and I had my car through the washing lane and to him in about 10 minutes!!!
Reason for visiting: car detail Date/time of visit: Sunday morning, ~11:30 AM Parking: n/a Party size: 1 Environment/ambience: pretty busy. They offer an outside waiting area with seats socially distanced; no tables, no TVs, or WiFi. Next door is McDonald's in case you want a quick bite to eat. Car detail takes an hour and half to 2 hours. Car wash is usually within 30 mins. Lots of high end cars (Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, etc) come through for various services. Service: pretty prompt, from time you get in to when you get out (cashier, car wash). They did a good job with the detailing; I didn't have to pick out spots they missed. Floor mats and carpet were shampooed; mats kept in the trunk while the carpet dries. They used disposable floor mats to allow you to drive while the carpet dries, which was great. They also wiped my seats down, which can be forgotten and annoying since my seats are a lighter color. Food: they offer snacks, drinks, etc. Cost: detail was listed as $270 but I got it for $199 (didn't ask but they offered). Car wash is $16.99; price varies based on day and time. Snacks and drinks are more expensive than normal, which is expected since it's also a gas station (Mobil).
After years of visiting, my experience is usually good. However, I visited the end of July with my 5 week old vehicle after a road trip. The front grille had many bug splatters and hard water stains across the front half of the hood and all of the grille and side fenders. I warned the service agent writing up my ticket about the extra cleaning. The vehicle exited the wash tunnel with problems I addressed before drying that were not fully taken care of then or after drying. The passenger side of the vehicle came out clean of bugs and spots. The wash tunnel agent did great on that side. The driver side came out still dirty with bugs and water spots. The wash tunnel agent on the driver side did not hand wash my vehicle. The drying attendant took care of the bugs but not the spots. The service agent that I warned about when he made my ticket took no responsibility or accountability and did nothing. I emailed my challenge to the business and have not heard back 10 days later. I am very disappointed being let down with no response or accountable action taken.
I’m am very displeased with the service I was provided. My seats were not cleaned but put a plastic cover over my seat to try to deceive me I touched the seat and they were dry and carpet is still dirty. I guess because my seats were not that dirty they wanted me to believe they were cleaned. Poor detailing job overall. I scrub the dirt to make sure it wasn’t a stain and some of the dirt came out of my carpet. If I would have had the time I would have request that it be redone. I even tip your guys for a poor job inside and out. As a owner you should make sure the workers do an excellent job before you tell a person their car is ready their service speaks for you. Poor service is never good. I did get what I paid for although the cost for not cleaning my seats were taken off still poor service. My time is valuable also.
I Had an Oil Change Yesterday on August 25th and today on August 26th my Engine almost Blew. The Oil Filter was left as Loose as Possible which made all of my New Motor Oil Leave my Car. My Car was Smoking like a Fire was about to start, and my Engine was clacking ready to Blow. I was lucky to be on my way Home when this Happened. I have video and Photos as proof and Encinoautospa wouldn’t even give me a Refund. Please Whatever you Do, Do not Use Encinoautospa for your Oil Change. You do not want someone working on your car who doesn’t know what he or she is doing. It is not worth destroying your car even if they throw in a Free Car Wash. I am Giving 1 Star so I can post. You cannot post if you give them 0 Stars. I would give them 0 Stars
This is one of the best car wash services in the San Fernando Valley. I drive out from Sherman Oaks to come to this one because their service and attention to detail is phenomenal. Especially if you go on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday for their $11.99 special! The owners and workers are all very dedicated to their customers and they’re hard workers who care about their products/services. Every trip is simple, stress free, and generally pretty speedy, but avoid the busy times like Monday or Friday afternoons. I can’t recommend this place enough for a great Car Wash! If you’re in the San Fernando Valley, this should be your go to.
This is the worst car wash bad service big line and the reason is that the Armenian ticket writers are don’t care you are waiting he doesn’t even com to your car rudely plays with he’s work goes to the brake room and you get to seat hoping someone will come and help you this is now every time and I keep coming here because its close to my home. But I rather drive longer and get service hopefully not operated by Armenian,s they just don’t give service charge a lot of money and the route I experience the same thing on the other location and Sherman Oaks as well.
Took my car and girfriends car for wash, guy upselled us to premium inside and the whole deal. For first time i gave it some hope, i was giving it hope. I tipped the workers each 10 for the cars. Tires dirty inside was door panels and controls. Mats and floor vaccumed, was they put on tires spread onto the car. I feel bad for workers it was hot i still tipped good. The expectations is for the owner and management to set right expectations of walk through and what you pay for. Will i go there again no, will i recomend to friends no. 120 down the drain two cars
I hate this car wash. It does no good. I went there to have my Lexus cleaned and asked to really focus on the vacuum and Windows. The guys didn't do anything . You could see the build up on the car and the car wasn't even washed it was still dirty. U could run ur finger through the car and dirt came off. I'm not one to criticize or anything but I'm very disappointed. We told the guys to see if they can do alittle more cleaning up but no they were fighting about it. They said we came in like that but there job was to clean.
I wash my car here not the first time. But for the first time there was trouble. They broke my mirror. There is not big, I understand anything can happen. But the problem is that they told me that they are not responsible. This shocked me. This is not serious. I attached a photo of the check and a broken mirror. So keep in mind if you decide to come here. They can break/damage something for you and then say that this is your problem and they have nothing to do with it.
The car is clean, but it took 2 and a half hours- which was 1 hour longer than they "guaranteed". Oh, then there's the part where they completely tore up the carpet in the back seat and said nothing about it. Then they left my ashtray in the trunk on top of a (previously) clean comforter. 1 star for generally sucking, and another for actually- eventually- cleaning the car.
My car was broken into over night and completely ransacked. It's a horrible feeling to know that someone else touched everything in your car. I took it to Encino Auto Spa to have it washed and detailed. The technician did an amazing job! It was what the car needed to make it feel like mine again. Really appreciate the care and attention the technician gave to my car.
Terrible! You paid for a Spray Wax and unless you watch your car go through the various steps including the spray light going on, they rip you off! Its very convenient to them to close the cashiers office you you can't follow your car even though their is a cashier there and you have to pay at the gas station. Its a rip off for more than just a plain car wash!
It used to be pretty cheap with the coupons with no it’s very expensive no matter what the quality of the wash is terrible I go there every other week pretty much and man it’s pretty bad. Several times I have to ask them to wash my car again they’re just smearing some soap on it and if you have some real dirt or flies or some thing good luck.
Awesome detail on my F-150 Lariat today! Full detail inside out! Honest detailer, even found $5 under seats and placed in my console. Gave him good tip, if I would have seen he found it before I got home, I would have given that to him as well on the tip! I will definitely go back future detailing. Keep up the great work!!
Place has gone down hill. Seems like management only cares about upselling packages versus getting their employees to do their jobs. Vacuum, 90 seconds. I literally had to point out where they missed big things and wipe down was not much better. I had to wipe it down myself for 20min after. I'm over this place
It was second time when they try to sell package #3, just take me money, and No service. Last time I paid for package #2, they promised to clean and wash everything. But instead they put lemon aroma and that's it. Guys, I think you can't change this money if you don't like to do your job.
Yelp reviews for this car wash were so accurate. I was looking for a hand wash for my X5. $35 for a full service wash and spray wax, can't beat it. The workers were friendly and helpful and The attention to detail was great considering the price. I think I've found my new place.
Amazing service and great customer service. They have great service and are very friendly. They did a great job on my car. It is super clean, looks brand new. I come here often, and they always do a great job. Recommend everyone to get their car washed here.
Good wash for a good price. Basic wash for my Prius was $14.99 and $17.99 for Venza, so they charge a little more for larger cars I guess. Plenty of seats in the outdoor waiting area and a couple indoor. The wait is standard, especially on nice, sunny days.
The carpet was not vacuumed very good Still a bunch of dirt Fingerprints all over the window. I asked if they could clean it better after I already paid $50. And all he could say was you're not giving me tip. Nope I will never go back there ever again!
I love this Car Wash, purely hand wash, no brushes. Perfect for my car that has Ceramic coating and does not require wax, only soap. You can make this request not to put wax if you have that kind of coating. My car came out clean, will surely come up!
Having only one car wash unit and many access lanes creates a large delay. Be prepared to spend time getting serviced. Once it was completed, the job was done satisfactorily - although more expensive than we're used to in the Midwest.
So this place is hit or miss... today I had a GREAT experience but I have had many 1 star experiences here as well. Thats why I have docked one star from the review. Wednesdays I've noticed are usually one of tbe worst days to come...
This place is NOT close to my house but I will MAKE the trip. These guys are great. I was told they don't use "recycled" water which is why my car seems cleaner than when its washed at other places. Various prices to choose from.
This place is very friendly. However, you need to watch out for what you purchase. Sometimes you need to mentioned it. They fix all my issues without any questions and in a timely fashion. But , this does happen a lot.
I come here often to get my car washed and detailed, they do an amazing job! Just make sure you have time before coming here because it gets pretty busy and a detail may take a bit of time. Otherwise amazing job!
Waited more than an hour! They hurry you up in the beginning when you give away your car and then take their time. And you know what? The wait wasn’t even worth it because my car is not spotless clean …
Finally a great place with great deals, also, they do a fantastic job! I had the interior / exterior detailed, brakepads replaced, rotor aligned, oil changed (synthetic Mobil1) Thank you!!!!
Thoroughly detailed my car. So thoroughly, a few of the buttons and knobs stopped working by the time they finished. I can't adjust the time on my car stereo, but at least it's very clean.
I just went here for the first time yesterday. My car was shipped from NJ and was very dusty. They did a great job cleaning my car and vacuumed it. I would definitely come back again!
This place is amazing, they always do a great job in my car. Is very busy but they get the job done fast. They also have a place where you can get you oil change and the wash is free.
I would rate Best Car wash in the San Fernando Valley....been coming for 15 years for a reason. They do very great job vacuuming in the hard to reach spaces. I definitely recommend.
They usually do a great job but this last time my vehicle was not cleaned completely. Dirty spots left on exterior. Also, the guy who takes your order is a high pressured salesman.
Edo was extremely helpful in setting up my detailing for my car -- he also got rid of a dent on my front bumper, and I am extremely satisfied -- he and his technicians are great!
Be warned, the car wash will scratch your car. DO NOT GO HERE. worst customer service. They would not refund me a petty 20$ after causing more than 90$ in damage to my car.
They do a nice job and they're open to 6 or 6:30 every night. You can buy a Groupon for $12 and get your tires Armor All and a car freshener. Highly recommend going there
Place was very busy and it took a little time for my car to be done, but the outcome was totally worth it. My car looks better than ever. I'll definitely be coming back.
I was here for car wash and complete detail for my ram truck Megacab, excellent job!, very satisfied with the detail, i will come back for more... …
Always such a great service! The attendant been there for a cool minute. The best customer service person I know! Kudos to him for such a great personality!
Just went there for the first time to wash my less than a week old black escalade and they put a 2 inch scratch on It! Very upset to say the least!!!
$10.99 Monday-Wednesday car wash special. Hand wash and interior vacuum. Good, fast service. Oil change comes with free basic car wash.
usually ok but went there today and they did a lousy job,l; when i got home, i spent an hour going over what they missed inside my car
For the past five years that I've been taking my car here they have been quick and thorough.The staff are hard working and friendly!
They do a excellent work on cars. It's a bit more pricey post pandemic but the quality is still good. Been coming here for years....
One of the best car washes in the Los Angeles area. Attention to detail. Well staffed. The cashiers could use a charm class.
It's a car wash, i expect a clean car when it's returned to me. i paid for the service, use your tools to get the job done.
It's great service But My car wasn't Really clean from the dash and the tires you can see through the rims the dirtiness
I had my oil changed 4-8-22. Fast friendly service. Highly recommend them. Also free car wash, what a deal …
Great car wash service i just wish they will clean the cup holders they never do in all the years I been going there.
worst car wash ever ....after they finish to clean my car i had to vacom it again in my house and to wash all rims
They do a nice job for the price. Windows sometimes could be better. Make sure you check them before driving off.
Regular wash gets you little don't. They bearly vacuum and don't really remove much. Larger crumbs are left.
Been here a handful of times, they do a really good job on my Challenger. Good prices, staff is courteous!
Gas station express wash level. Paid $25 and could have gotten same results for $10 and dry cloth.
They are good carwash with fare price. They do have free carwash after you do 10 paid carwash
Great job on my car, friendly staff, zero enforcement of mask policy on customers, however.
Great cleaning but terrible that you have to pay a 2 dollar fee just to get some tip money
Outstanding work, service I've been using them for years and years very highly recommended
Love bringing my car here especially for a good 15 dollar wash... Also it's close by
They offer great values for detail work. Especially the clay bar and the polishing.
Wash is acceptable but prices are increasing. There is usually something they miss.
Excellent but not cheap. Standard wash is 15.99 (tho it is discounted Mon. - Wed.)
For years I do car wash and oil change here and no complains. They do a good job.
Good service. I've been here a couple times. Great place or a fast and good wash
They're pretty. I like the hand wash aspect and for the price I will keep going.
Love this spot. Free car wash with an oil change. What a deal! Nice guys to.
Very nice service. I had a nail in my tire and it was patched up very fase×
Nice job for a regular car wash. Good job and quick even on a busy Sunday.
Great wash! But I knocked off a start because they locked my keys inside.
I'm always happy with the service here, and the price is very fair too.
Oil change is ridiculous pricing! Oil filter not included in pricing!
Terrific car wash, Mon and Wed $14.99 ! Maybe the best in the area.
Awesome place! Very friendly, and very through!! Highly recommend!!
Love this place. They do a fantastic job. Everybody is very polite.
