Great price! I've been coming here for the past few years, and when I first discovered it, I was pleased when I learned that it cost much less than other self car washes. Also, the water pressure was a lot better than other car washes, making it a lot easier to get your car cleaned faster and not draw out the process to make you have to put more money in. Also, this car wash has several levels of high pressure air sprayers for exterior drying and internal cleaning, as well as, one to air up your tires. All this is located in the vacuum area of the facility. The vacuums are 50 cents and car washes are $1.50. They also have a change machine on site that's always full. They also have a working sink and towel wringer, which are all very very convenient and helpful when cleaning and washing your car (and also very rare to find at other self car washes, in good working order). I absolutely love this place! It's the place I go to when I can and as much as possible for my car. I can just take my time and work on making it beautiful and detailed. And Kevin, the employee on site that I met, was very helpful and kind-thanks Kevin! I know Paul, as well- thank you Paul, for making available this self car wash facility to the public- thank you!

Have you been stalking me? I am glad that you have, because this old man requires more stability in the reliability of a source upon which I can rely; this allows me to be forgetful on record. This carwash is one to which I have been going for awhile now. I like its attraction of reliable equipment as to being functional at a low price. In fact they could go up in price, and I believe still maintain its appeal. This car wash facility is similar to the one on 24th street just south of Osborn on the west side of the road. The main difference is the price is higher compared to the 19th Avenue one I normally go to. High pressure soap, soapy brush, and wax are the normal three settings I use respectively to wash my car. It's also easy to access all the other ones like tire, engine, and spot free, settings for a longer more involved experience. I use the first description because it's fast, cheap, and is suffice to get my Focus clean clean clean. The wax setting serves as the final rinse being that it gets all remaining soap and/or dirt while waxing. Afterwards you can spend 50 cents on the vacuum.

It works and is open 24/7.. only problem is no matter what time of day or night you go theres all kinds of shady people around.. they hang out at the bus stop or even at the vacuums.. when it was cold they would even start little fires on the side where o'reillys is.. late at night cars come and will just pull straight through to where the vacuum pumps are and sit there.. you know they dont work there bcuz therell be shady ppl all around.. People ride up on their bikes and use the air for their tires.. ppl will ask you for money or if you want to buy drugs.. only reason I give 3 stars is bcuz they are 24/7 and everything usually works including the vacuums & aint nobody around there scares me, just annoying more than anything when you just want to wash your car in peace and not have to be on guard for anyone that wants to try something.

  • Christopher Hirth

So I will say if you have a nice car do not go here late at night. Like 930-10pm or later. Also don’t have cash on you. I honestly felt at 4 different times that I was going to be robbed/jacked. The homeless weren’t even the problem so much as the people who were washing their cars. Actually both made me very uneasy. A couple different times i locked myself in my car when people were staring me down. Also the first bay I tried ate my money. I would recommend another place of late at night. I don’t leave bad reviews unless for a good reason but I felt very uneasy here. And for me to say that, that’s saying something…so just be safe and if possible go elsewhere at night time.

  • Chad A

Best place in Phoenix to get mugged or get stuck with a needle. This place offers all types of drugs if you can get passes the security. Not the typical security. It's more to protect the drug pushers found here 24-7. The best part is that this is the best place in town to avoid any police CC intact as the Phoenix Police will not be seen anyway around this place. It's too dangerous for them. As far as washing your car. This is not a place for that. Most of the bays will be blocked off by pushers. It's a great drive-thru drug dealership. Not much of a car wash. They really need to update the name. And don't bring your kids unless you want them stuck with a needle.

  • William Carter

Been going here for many years. The last year it's gone downhill. Ghetto people smoking blues all over, sometimes the change machines don't work so gave to bring your own quarters. Vacuums don't work very well half the time and several times I'll put my money in to wash the car only to discover it's out of order but no sign posted saying so. The attendant, when there is one, acts like your bothering them if you try to tell them anything.

  • TheUberTrekkie

Too many nails. I had 4 nails removed from one tire since my last visit. Then I parked in the lot to the south (so I could walk over to fill a 5 Gallon water bottle), but instantly saw 2 nails on that lot as well. Years ago a car wash owner told me that competitors throw nails to drive business away. I won't be returning after having paid $35 for my last tire repair. I'll pay twice the price to fill my water jug elsewhere.

  • Andy M

Even though this place looks ghetto, at least there car wash always produce the right car soap, wax spot free...etc unlike other places like this half of the time it doesn't work, like no one maintain the equipment, as for this one, there's always that one lady and her cute Chihuahua who always cleans the ground everytime I go there, she calls me Hawaii 5-0 because of my Hawaii sticker on my car haha

  • Frank Romero

The high pressure rinse wasn't working in stall I was washing my car in. Wish I would have know that before I put 5 dollars in. Had to move my soapy car to a different stall, and put more money in. There is always shady people on bikes just riding around too. I only gave this place an extra star because the vaccums are only 50 cents and they have free air.

  • N A

This was the best place to wash your car but no more. It's become an extremely dangerous place. It's turned into a gang hangout spot. People smoking from glass pipes DO NoT ATTEMPT TO GO HERE AFTER DARK. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Most likely you will end up being scared away anyways. Such a shame. Daytime use is getting worse. I don't dare go anymore.

  • Lisa Marquez

It's nice of you go early like 5am when no one is there. By 7am the car wash gets filled and people spend more time detailing their vehicles than washing and there can be a wait for vacuums and space. Often there is leftover mud in the stalls, but the vending machines are always working and repairs on hoses are done quickly.

  • Michael Brown

Sketchy place Seems like a lot of drug activity and homeless peopleWhen I was there a fight broke out cars parked in the Washing Bay not even getting washed .. people parking cars in vacume area blocking cars and staying there for over 30 minutes while I was washing my vehicle. Needs supervision and police to check out.

  • Barron Bell

The attendant kevin is over worked but still manages to keep this place cleaner then some of the full service washes I got to. Probably one of the hardest jobs I can think of. Fighting off drug users and constantly picking up after disrespecting people I personally just want to say thank you for being you.

  • Brad Chee

Cheap price for working car wash and the free air for tires..owner is awesome but that old lady might forget to take her meds someday and tell at you. I almost lost my temper when she said, "how about if I bang on your car like u bang on my quarter machine!" I didn't even bang on it...

  • David “King David” Fleming

Awesome totally awesome, Management is very helpful and runs a well maintained car wash / water and ice, soft drink vending machines, all of which are affected (as are all things) by the extreme heat, a little down time for necessary upkeep is to be expected, this is a good place.

  • David L

Owner is nice, if you talk to him. He really cares about the customer experience. Not afraid to get himself dirty just to get your ride really clean. Nice guy, good wash. Quick word to the wise if you have a lower vehicle do NOT use the automatic wash, use the manual wash bays.

  • Jerome Ringland

The absolutely most pitiful car wash in Arizona ! Put in my 1.50. I was expecting high pressure. Didn't get that. I was also expecting hot water... didn't get that either. This whole thing is a joke. They should make it a shelter for homeless people instead !

  • Andrew Becker

Prices for washing your own vehicle are reasonable for time given and they take/use quarters, so you aren’t left with tokens that you have to use at the one specific place. They also have a bill exchanger in case you don’t have quarters.

  • Lawrence Powell

One of the only spots 2 shine the ride .....cheap...well managed....loaded with features....even free air for tires!!!! Don't waste time at those fancy drive-thru washes that charge your first born and leg...pimp your ride @ Spot Free

  • Judy Abel

They have air hoses to blow off your car, air up tires, blow out inside of car, or trunk. A high pressured water sink to rinse out rags and a roller ringer. Very affordable. Linda the manager is very sweet and accommodating.

  • Joey Arizona

This car wash is my number one. Really really good soap and a good pressure spot Free is awesome and a really good fair price only 50 cents on vacuum been coming here for years as always the best

  • Jessica Day

Come here twice a week if not 3 times. Very friendly staff, well maintained, clean towels always stocked and they always give me a thumbs up with a nod for my Genesis. It's all love here! …

  • aaron o

They need to FIX the intake of quarters on one of the machines! Eats it right up! I can take it as a loss for a few dollars....but how do I go about even getting a refund from this location???

  • Josh Edwards

The troll woman who manages this dump lives on site. She smells, yells and will rip you off .25 cents at a time. This place is known for harboring crack heads on the roof. Beware this place !

  • Pedro CruzRoman

Water sprayer wasn't working. Couldn't even rinse off car. Brush looked like it was foaming, but that doesn't do me any good if I can't rinse. Custodian not around to refund my quarters.

  • Lewis Hernandez

The car wash is litterly one of the fastest smoothest ones in Phoenix it can packed with 15 cars ahead of you and your not waiting longer then 5min customer service is awesome man

  • Spider SPIRIT

Good place to score some water but all in all you can't beet the price little soap here little soap there I mean kleanliness is close to Godliness . …

  • Jamie Zelazny

No hot water. Doesn't accept credit cards. "Wax" appeared to be plain water. I'm trying to find a good, modern car wash in the area, and this isn't it.

  • Bob Adair

I visit the car wash frequently. For 3 bucks , you drive through and get the vacumn cleaner for free. You can't manually wash & vac for much less.

  • Taylor Young (TaylorMADE)

It's open 24 hours... What's not to love? Also has free compressed air if you need to fill a tire or similar. Auto vacuums have a slight cost tho

  • Miguel Serna

Give ample amount of time and it gives you quarters instead of useless coins that will force you come back to that location thank you very much!

  • Billy Alexander (XDubkdad1x4xDadsX)

Popular spot. You will have to wait in line for a bit, but there are very few activities more satisfying than washing and waxing your car

  • P. Dolza

Its a little dark and creepy as you pull in. But its well-lit in the back. Free air . For about $8 you can wash and vacuum your car.
