Coast Car Wash

This place gets a bad rap, and I’m not sure why. I get the $ 44 hand wax special every time, and my truck always looks brand new afterwards. The wash and interior clean have never left me feeling like the job wasn’t done right.
1. Friendly service
2. Great prices
3. Quality wash and wax.
Bonus: cool places around to grab a bite while your wash is done (Primo’s, Privateer, etc).

My husband took our car in for a car wash today and when he got home I noticed a big scratch on the passenger side door and the front of the car wasn’t even clean. We called and came in to have the manager look at it, and without any hesitation he said that is not their fault and they will not be responsible for it and he even try to say that we got the scratch from somewhere else and try to blame them for it. My husband went straight home after the car wash so it couldn’t have been from anywhere else. They are very unprofessional for immediately trying to blame the customer when it could have possibly been one of the employees accidently scratch it. We WON’T be coming back here again and I highly recommend that you take your business else where because of their unprofessional attitude toward customers.

I got the $ 20 Gold car wash which included and interior and exterior clean, vaccuum and wipe down basically. I wasn’t very impressed. The tires did look really great, but the interior barely looked any cleaner. Not much was even wiped down. And there was still dirt in some of the corners. They did wipe some stuff off my center console when I asked them and even the employee said that it should have been cleaner after getting detailed. I have been to better places that did better for less and I will go somewhere else next time.

Good clean up for your vehicle at decent prices. Most services include a free air freshener and the staff is pretty friendly. I heard they get busy, especially in the mornings but I went on a Monday before lunch and the traffic during my visit was light.

Incredible service, competitive prices. Would recommend this place over any other car wash.

They just immaculately cleaned my car in less than 10 minutes for 13 $. If that isn’t enough for you, then I don’t know what is.

Normally for a wash no issues, guys are friendly, do a decent job for the price.
Figured I would try their detail service, take the top tier for $ 200, truck was never done before and due. Upon picking it, found a couple spots they said could not come off. I left, got fuel and saw they never open fuel cap and full of road grime. Then open the hood and same issue. How do you do a complete detail if it is not complete on all trim?
I went back, manager had some excuse the city told him not to open hoods?
Next week my wife’s car is going in for a detail, but not here

Good place to get a wash or quick wax. I usually do the hand wax ($ 40 for wash and wax) about every two weeks and, unless they are extremely busy, it takes around 30min.
4 stars for two reasons:
1. They could definitely do a better job on the interior
2. The car always looks good driving away, but only one of their detailers seems to put extra effort into my car.
Either way, not a bad deal if you’re just looking for a quick wash or maybe a wax. Haven’t done the full detail and would probably only trust that with a pro.

Fast and well done. Their prices are affordable and if you go to your local Oceanside grocery stores they have coupons printed on the back of your receipt. I know Stater Bros has them for sure.

Service has become really bad. The interior is never clean, always having to clean after them. I will never be gping back.

I’m always on the lookout for a good car wash. This my first visit to the coast car wash. It’s all outside except for washer so you won’t escape the sun. I have a black car so it shows car wash mistakes. I thought they did a pretty good job and I was pleasantly surprised.

They charged me $ 45 to wash the outside of my van and I watched as they missed huge sections and had to point them out to them.
They got mad that I made them do it right, which is not what they are here for.
Got there at 7:30 am and they finished at 9:20am. WTF?
Do not waste your time or money at this filthy place.

This place is terrible. Went twice both times extremely rude and I have a tolerance for that. Second time I just left and didn’t get my car washed. Would not recommend to anyone. Would have preferred to write a good review but that’s how it goes.

Horrible job. Don’t waste your time or money. I had to finish drying my car myself. There was bee poop still remaining on the entire vehicle. When I said something to the guy, he looked at me and walked away. I also paid for an air freshener and realize I didn’t have one after I left the place. I will never go here again.

Fast. And spotless. Always spotless. I have a mustang. And when you open and close the trunk after a car wash. Water drips out and leaves water marks a lover the paint. This car wash always checks for that. Spotless every time

I have been coming to this place for about 3 years. not as consistently as I should because my car gets junk built up in it. but when I need a wash I’ll take it here. I went today and raved about it to my friend so I brought her also… that was a big mistake.
we both decided to get our cars fully detailed because they needed it. it was 95 DOLLARS. that’s a lot of money!!! so I’m expecting my car to look flawless.
it took 2 hours and when I got my car back there was armour all slapped EVERYWHERE even on my leather seats and when I say down my clothes got wet! that’s disgusting.
I thought it looked great at first because it was shiny and the carpets looked great but when I really started examining my car they barely even cleaned it!
my dashboard has dust alllll over it still and my stick shift has dust and crud all over it. There is still bird poop peices on the side of my car and I am absolutely pissed. I will be going back after class at 2 o’clock and getting what I paid for.
95 dollars is a lotttt of money for them to do a half assed job on my nice car.

Honestly I’m not going back to this car wash. I went about 3 months ago and then again yesterday and both times were done poorly. I paid 15 bucks for the Deluxe and the inside of my car didn’t look any better. I ended up getting one of their rags and spray and wiping it myself.
I hate to leave bad reviews but after two times of going and both times the job being done poorly and wack… I felt I should leave this review.

This place is awesome! The best! I only come here for my car washes and I also recommend my friends and family here.
They do a great job washing the car, especially for their cheap prices. I was surprised to see they have such a low rating. This place is awesome, disregard what these negative picky Unilocalers cry about on here. I have OCD and I’m pretty picky but I love this place because they wash to my standards!
If you need somewhere to go to get a good wash, this is the place! Remember there’s a difference between a wash and detailing, so if ur anal about something just let it be known !

They raised their prices a few dollars. The coupon for the deluxe wash is now $ 11 on the back of ralphs reciepts. Still a good deal!

We got the basic car wash. The car wash machine left black rubber streaks on the sides of my white BMW. I could see them, but the drying guys either couldn’t with the sun’s glare or just didn’t care. I had to stand there with my husband trying to wipe the rubber streaks off with our fingers — nobody bothered to ask why we were doing that and they had already run off to take care of the other cars that there was nobody to stop and get help from.
I didn’t like how the interior was cleaned — they were rough on the leather interior and to be honest, the dash didn’t look clean at all.
I found it unprofessional how some of the attendants drove clients’ cars — especially the higher end ones — on the lot with breakneck speed to get them to the waxing/​detailing station. It’s not your car, buddy, have some respect! Believe the other negative reviews, it’s not worth going here. However, the cashier was very nice and polite — I’ll give that to the business.
