I parked my car under a tree that at best could be called a bird's toilet bowl, because when I got back after parking my car it was totally showered in bukkake bird poop. I almost turned gray with horror.
I took my car to Expert Car Wash - my first time, and while I waited for my car to be picked up I read a ton of bad reviews about the business, and my skin turned gray in horror (again) realizing I had trusted my car to be cleaned in the wrong place.
Imagine my surprise when the attendant called me and I found my car to be in absolute pristine condition, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that it was done much quicker than any other car wash I've been to. I'll be back!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ian S.Central LA, Los Angeles, CA041May 2, 2024
Make sure to call before driving here. They do not keep the posted hours. Closed early with myself and another car being turned away 10 minutes before 6pm.

We apologize for your experience with our communication, Ian. We understand your frustration but we do close our gates exactly 6 pm to give time for our workers to finish the last cars that came in before closing time. We look forward to the chance to serve you again in the future.

I went in sign says early bird 23.99 8am - 10am
Went in and they charged me 25 ? They finished with the car wash my car was still dirty and not vacuumed correctly. The towels they cleaned my car inside with smelled very nasty left a very nasty scent in my car like a dirty wet rag and outside my car the windows were not clean still had finger prints. Do not recommendHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I have read some of the critical reviews of this car wash and wanted to leave my own review since my experience has been consistently excellent. They take a lot of time, but they have always done an excellent cleaning job on my car.

Dennis and the Team at Expert Car WashSep 30, 2016Previous reviewFriendly, nice service great people they work hard for the money. So I get back in the car and my cellphone holder has been thrown away! I took it down because they have to clean the Windows. So I put it in the cup holder and when I got back in the car. Half of it was missing. So they had to give me another on
Sep 2, 2016Previous reviewSo I notice getting car cleaned they didn't touch the front window and right side front window. So I ask them to talk to the guy with the brush to use it on my Windows because the first time he didn't. I watch every time I come here. Thanks for the manager for fixing the pro
Jul 9, 2016Previous reviewSo why are they opening the gas tank location,..most of the time when people put stuff in the trunk you shouldn't open it,...unless you ask them to vacuum it. How many people are going to see the roof of your car? I've been here so many different times I'm starting to notice when they do a rush job on cleaning the inside like the face where the radio sits. And making sure they clean where people put there feet. When driving for UBER or LYFT.
Feb 20, 2016Previous reviewSo after I noticed the guy didn't wash my windows I called the manager and told him. He talked to the guy and it went thru again and they all about 5 guys was scrubbing my car and now that was even better because it had water spots from the sprinklers and I really needed that cleaned. Thanks manager I love coming here.

This is a truly terrible establishment. I got the premium wash for my 1994 Mercedes which cost $200 and they proceeded to strip the finish from my car, damaging the paint irreparably. I then got in a feud with management because they were unable to accept responsibility for the damage, and unfortunately I was not in a position to definitively prove that they caused the damage. No effort was made to resolve this, including refunding the $200 paint stripping upsell they sold me on. Alas, my car will never be the same. But I also will never be giving business to Expert Car Wash!

Expert Car Wash - Vineet S.San Francisco, CA6438850May 22, 2023
Not sure why this place doesn't have good reviews. For $32 and 20minutes later, the guys here scrubbed away at all the dead bugs that had gotten on my grill and windshield from the SF-LA drive. They wiped the insides, tires, windows and sunroof.
They have a $14 express wash, which is basically a drive through car wash with some on hand involvement
I feel anything in the $30-$40 package will be fine.
Unsure how their $200+ packages work
At that point just go get detailing, clay, ceramic coating for $300 elsewhere.
Giving it 4.5 stars because I saw some small, hard to get rid off spots still remaining.
Rounding it up to 5 stars to even the odds they have on Yelp.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

A drive like that will end up with a lot of dead bugs and dust covering your vehicle, Vineet, so we're glad you brought it here for a thorough clean. We appreciate you sharing this feedback and letting us know our crew did a great job. Hope you'll be back whenever your car gets too dirty for your liking.

I got a $45 hand car wash and wax, which included vacuum and interior cleaning. The manager definitely works to upsell you. The one guy working on the car did a good job, but it took longer than 20 minutes to completely wash and dry the car because he was alone. The interior still needed work and the windows had lint and streaking all over them. Maybe if there were a couple guys drying the car they wouldn't have missed as much.

I'm incredibly happy I've come across Expert Car Wash.
I don't like the bait and switch right at first though. They have a huge sign out front touting $11.99 for the exterior express wash but when I pulled in the gentleman told me it was $13.99. Not a big deal...$2 isn't much...but the principle of it all I tell you! lol! That aside, $14 is still a great deal for a wash.
This isn't a fancy wash but I was really happy with the job they did. My car came out clean and the towel drying was so thorough and fantastic. I will definitely be back to try some of their more deep washes including the interior wash.
Best part about this car wash? The massage chair! Oh my goodness, it is heavenly! Just $1 for 5 minutes and it felt heavenly. I'm a massage obsessed person and was pleasantly surprised with how deep this went. I did 10 minutes for $2 and I can't even explain how worth it it was. I will be getting the massage every time I go and not gonna lie...that's what will drive me back to this location. Bring a clorox wipe to wipe it down first though because it is clearly not new.
In saying that, the car wash is old and not in great shape. I don't mind this at all but just sayin' for y'all bougies Bs out there.Helpful 25Thanks 0Love this 27Oh no 0 - Shinekhuu D.Central LA, Los Angeles, CA031Jun 8, 2023
