1st time here. To be honest I was hesitant because any negative review was countered with belligerent comments. So I don’t normally deal with people like that. However I got a really good wash. No complaints whatsoever. As a matter of fact they even washed the nut covers and my chrome landing gear handle which even little sisters misses. I’d definitely recommend these guys. If your in a hurry then you need to go to the streak em up wash. These guys are like Little Sister in the fact they don’t let the line intimidate them. A little pricey compared to anyone else. $168 for straight wash, towel dry and tire shine on truck and trailer. Sisters last week was $126 for the same service. Beacon is now $120 and no dry or tire shine. Quality over quantity. I appreciate that. Thanks guys I know most people never comment on the good but always comment on the bad. I’m absolutely happy with my wash.

  • Steve Lewellen

Wait for me wasn't horrible, however for $189 I expected a lot more. New trailer first time being washed and now it has scratches from there brushes. Motor wash was a joke. I was supposed to get citrus used but seems like some stronger acid was used because my frame and fairly new mudflap hangers are faded. And to top it off (shame on me for not inspecting it before leaving I know) I'm now having to find another place to get a washout done because my trailer was not properly washed out and was rejected. I'm not the first person to have these issues and I shoulda read the reviews better but finding hopper washouts can be hard sometimes and you have to throw the dice every now and then. Just be warned and double/triple check when they are done with your washout. As far as the rest of the washes go I'd stay away, see photos.

  • Dustin Knudson

I own a truck wash in Utah and talk to a lot of truck drivers. Everyone I talk to loves Salt Lake Truck Wash and say they do a great job. When someone comes in and wants a wash with more detail than we offer (hand drying, hand washing, polishing, etc.), I send them to Salt Lake Truck Wash. These guys have an excellent reputation in the industry, and I can recommend them to anyone. I've read the reviews here and will say that you cannot please everyone all the time no matter how good you are. These guys are great, so ignore the negative stuff about them. Good job guys, keep up the excellent work.

  • Andy Tk

I was really impressed with the quality when I first found the place and was always trying to plan routes and bring my units in, or send customers, or friends when there was a chance. I do appreciate your guys' help and support. The last time to wash the chassis on the working unit in preparation for the service, I was really surprised to pay $350 (!) The work is good, bt the price is becoming extremely high at this point. Many years in the shop, I've never heard of 350 for the frame. Again, I do appreciate working with you guys, bt now I have to find another option.

  • Cameron (TANK)

I can knit pick like alot of others, but the bottom line is, nobody will wash up to "my standards". So I go where they can get close. They've never damaged my truck, burned my tanks, or acid washed where they weren't supposed to, like so many others places. There pricey, but who isn't. This place, And the New Vernon's in Barstow are the only places I will wash at anymore. Just gave me a good deal on a new texas bumper the other day. Anytime I have had issues, they've corrected it. You treat them with respect and patience, they will do the same.

  • Andrew Jacobsen

Have had several washouts and truck washs here, and they where by far the best washouts I have ever seen, and the my truck never looked and felt so clean. Not just clean but amazingly clean. The care that they give is seriously lacking at many places. Your not just a number to them. Any concerns you have or issues with the job are immediately fixed. If you're looking for a quick and cheap clean out or was this isn't it. But if you're looking for quality service and an attention to detail, and have the cash, this place by far is the best place.

  • Victor Camargo

Not going back to this business I took my truck for a wash and detail the guys do a jod job. But i did notice one manager that doesn't have respect for there employees the lenguage that he was using with his co workers was not professional. His name is Osvaldo he needs to understand that there is people that can understand all the vulgar lenguage he is using around people. That is not a professional place. Owners and managers need to know that with out there workers there business can shut down. Respect

  • Jay K

I had a bad experience my first time here but the crew here have made up for it by a long shot. I think they had a off day when I had the bad experience but I’ve been back several times. I wish whoever ran this place was in charge of Blue Beacons so we could have such great service all over the country. They hand wash the truck/trailer, they do it perfect and they do it quickly. Saying all that, don’t come here, I don’t wanna wait in line... haha. Kidding, great place, great people, amazing price.

THE SHOP OWNER STARTED TO CURSE ON A CUSTOMER WHOM TRUCK WAS IN WASH BAY. PER CUSTOMER TRAILER DROP BEFORE WASHING BAY, THAT WAS THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN WASH BAY MANAGER. SO OWNER IS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS STOP YELLING ON CUSTOMERS YOU LOOK VERY STUPID IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. THE WASH WAS FINE BUT PRICE IS TOO HIGH $76 FOR JUST BOBTAIL WASH ITS A JOKE. OWNER GETS 1 ⭐️ STAR THE WASH PEOPLE 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND COMBINE JUST 2 ⭐️⭐️ Google review.

  • Michael Cook

Great job on the wash! I do want to point out a couple of other thing however. First right here on Google it says that their tractor wash is $59. Once in the bay and they started I went to the office and was informed that it was $79+tax. Caught me way off guard. Second on a Saturday if your at the bottom of the driveway expect to be there for 2 plus hour waiting. Just my experience but again great job on the tractor.

  • T

Was looking for a truck wash. Read reviews and noticed all the condescending comments from owner when a complaint was written. Tough in this age to choose where to spend our hard earned money. Is this really a good wash or is it questionable due to owners comments? Was not what I was looking for but answers my question any issue and you are rude. Why spend my money at your shop.

  • ADAM WHISENHUNT

I'm very disappointed in the wash service this time. To big of a hurry when washing the truck missed many areas, even a second attempt to make it right still left a lot of dirt on the truck and trailer. Areas missed Lug nut covers Winches Landing legs Airbags Engine compartment Windshield cowling area Frame areas They did try to make it right but still failed disappointed

  • Scott Evans

My RV is cleaner than it was, but definitely not worth the $107 I paid. Of course it’s going to be cleaner, when sprayed down with water. They sprayed the roof off last, if that tells u anything. So all the dirt that was on the roof is now on the sides. U don’t have to be an “expert” in washing vehicles to see leftover dirt all over ur vehicle. Never again..

  • Michael Green

Usually just get a quick trailer rinse and roll. In summer months they are busy and I can tell by the caliber of equipment they do a good job. And yes the trailer wash is satisfactory also, very quick. Employees have always been polite. Get ya some chrome and polish before you leave and have a grin from ear to ear! Hopper Haulin 101!!

  • Cody

I’ve been to this wash twice and I think they do a great job. You can walk around and make sure the wash is to your liking which is nice. So far they have done awesome! Friends have told me about this place forever. It’s a great place with great folks that wash your truck. I’ll continue to use this place for years to come.

  • Evan Sigler

Absolutely ripped us off on a truck wash! Over $250 They said it was because of excessive mud. I had 3 other truck get washes at all different truck washes and they all 3 were at least $100 less. $250 is unreal. We have are a local company and have been going there for years but will not ever go back. …

  • nate ramsden

Updating this post from a previous review, I since have been back and have been far happier with the job that has been done. Worth the wait in line very professional and the truck looks great. Anything from the past has been fixed I have been in 3 times now since and it has been on point all three times!

  • ROBERT GILES

Man this place is amazing, fast, professional , and the services are amazing. I run through Wyoming and my rig gets super dirty. The crew the have absolutely rock, they make me look shinny and new every time. It’s work the wait and money!! I will never go anywhere else. Thanks Salt Lake truck Wash.

  • Gilles Petrin

Travelling through Salt Lake City in a large diesel pusher motorhome. She needed a bath so I brought her by this establishment! The service was done quickly with great attention to detail! Prompt, friendly and excellent service from start to finish. Thanks for a job well done!

  • David Keating

They did a pretty good job washing my truck a my washout was good. I think their rates are a little high. They wanted to charge me 4% for paying with a debit card?? We don't have to carry a lot of cash with us anymore because we now have debit cards! Don't get greedy on us!

  • Alex “Ajax” Lamb

Been waiting 3 years to finally get the go ahead to be able to get my dump truck washed. And you guys didn't disappoint!! Well worth the wait. Thank you mike for having a quick clean and professional team in that wash bay. Will definitely be back next month!!

  • Terry North

Hey everyone, yeah they charge a few bucks more, but they’re worth twice that! These guys really are top in their class! I usually roll in about once a week, occasionally the line is too long, but I’d rather wait here than be first in line at the double B!

  • Shelley Foard

This truck wash was recommended by another trucker from Montana so since I was going through Salt Lake I decided to stop and I was super Happy with the wash I received!! I Also purchased several accessories in the shop and Rogelio put on

  • jonathan alvarez

This is in my opinion the best truck wash in Salt Lake City. They have great customer service I was very happy and satisfied with my wash. I always drove by this place and always seen a long line. Now I know why, they take there time to

  • Kris “66” Price

I was looking for a place to wash my truck and the reviews at blue Beacon in Salt Lake City were horrible so I decided to check out SLC truck wash and I mean they did an OK job it was good but I think for $113 it could’ve been a little

  • Jarom Gifford

Usually prefer taking my truck here, however today they just didn't do a good job. I paid for towel dry and tire shine but after 20 minutes of waiting truck was dry. I got a refund for tire shine and towel dry. For $181.63 do better.

  • User Review

If you want a good wash from here you gotta spend the coin. If you just tell them soap and water that's what you'll get. These guys do great work I spend a little more then the beacon wash but get a 10x better result. Thanks …

  • Farque Mathews

Great place cheaper than blue beacon but with inflation affecting us all right now prices have gone up everywhere. Basic truck n trailer wash is about 115 or so n they take cards over phone unlike their aforementioned competitor

  • Jen Isley

Best place in slc to get your truck washed and dried. Customer service is great. They take the time to do it right. Definitely coming here again to get my truck a bath next time. Plus the prices are reasonable. Excellent job!

  • Chris Tuck

Tried this place for the first time last week, they are the real deal! I have never gotten more compliments on my truck than I did that day after the wash! Well done guys, I’ll be stopping there every time through salt lake

  • Rachelle Park

Took our RV to be washed on the way out of town. They did an amazing job! Appreciated the "all hands on deck" efficiency, as it got the job done super quick! Great service & incredible work--HIGHLY recommend!!!

  • RV Guru

Horrible service. Terrible work. No integrity. Literally the worst company I've ever dealt with. They don’t care. This is the only bad review I've ever done. But this company is so bad I had to warn others.

  • Jason Slavicek

I usually go here Monday early for trailer washout. They do a good job and have free vacuum. Have patience.....grab a bite to eat and try the hot chocolate at the takeout trailer in the parking lot. …

  • Roberto

Great place, staff really friendly. They have a small shop. You can find there some chrome and polish/wax products. All by all great experience. Truck looks good again. Definitely come back thanks guys.

  • Joe Rosario

Best truck wash in the Salt Lake City area. They offer all different kinds of service but if you want to be in and out you better park there the night before or show up an hour or two before they open.

  • Andy Alik

Im pretty disappointed today..rushing is not a good thing..I pay $76 for less than 20 minutes wash and this is what i get? Needs to take the truck to the shop and expecting a good clean up…

  • Elton Liner jr

I'm retracting my previous review after speaking with the manager they have more than made up for it it was a miscommunication but it is fixed couldn't be happier with the job thank you.

  • Serge Tsyg

A bit more expensive than blue beacon but well worth it since they do a better quality job using soft scrubbers all over. These guys are hard workers with attention to detail …

  • Jake Whetton

Don’t pull into the wash at 4:15 they won’t wash you. They close at 5:00 I was told the guys want to go home. They won’t answer their phones either. Waste of fuel at 5 dollars gallon.
