Bubba’s Express Car Wash

Don’t expect to leave with a clean vehicle.
These people are lazy.
Not a single gram of fuck is given about you or your vehicle.
Find somewhere else to get it washed or better yet… do it yourself.

If it was possible to give less than one star I would happily do so. I am not one to leave reviews but in this case I will make an exception as I feel anyone willing to trust their car to this wash center needs a heads up!
I like many in the area have been eagerly awaiting the opening of the new Bubba’s Car Wash on San Juan Ave. and Greenback, unfortunately my first visit was extremely disappointing and I will not be returning.
During my visit I opted for the full interior exterior wash for $ 25, I was surprised to hear that they were offering full service and was informed that this was the first location offering it so of course I assumed it would be good quality! I thought wrong…
The exterior wash was on par with what you would generally expect from an exterior wash company but the interior service was pitiful and actually damaged several surfaces in my vehicle!
1. The product that they use is either not diluted or not meant to be used on interior surfaces because not only did it leave a hideous residue on every surface including the windows but it bleached my dash and door panels.
2. The employee washing my car used the same cleaner on every surface inside indicating that this company is not likely training their people that different products have different uses.
3. They have no attention to detail as they did not wipe down more than half of the surfaces in the car leaving spray residue everywhere and when asked to do it again they informed me that it was «the best they could do».
I have posted pictures of my experience to validate what I am saying and will be following up regarding damages but wanted to make anyone considering this carwash aware of the risks before you have a similar experience!

My paint job on my Accord wasnt cheap & looked fantastic before Bubba’s Carwash. Unfortunately it came out looking horribly messed up where the kid scrubbed it with some unknown product that destroyed my paint job. the owner blamed it on my paint job and thought it was kinda funny.

The is an awesome car wash good price and great service the guy with all the tattoos on his arm did an excellent job and I had some duct tape on the window and he scrapped all of it off way cool thanks guys will be back again

Cheap car wash! In and out. Free vacuums is always a plus. Can get kind of busy, but worth the wait.

Very attentive staff and super helpful. Car was filthy inside and out. Such attention to detail!

Best place in town. Ask for Bryan to do your inside then give him a big tip. Great people great attitude willing to get the job done just ask they never say no to anything.

Came here cuz my baby was really dirty. Only car wash I go to in Sacramento. It’s fast and the workers are nice. Some are easy on the eyes. Lol They give you free vacuum coin too here. They even offer hand wash if that’s what u prefer.

Not a good car wash for $ 17. I had a lot of mud in my wheel wells from being off-​road and they didn’t wash any of it out. I know the workers had to see that when they were detailing the tires, but they didn’t say or do anything. Never again.

I’ve been going to Bubba’s on and off for the past couple years, but recently purchased a new vehicle from across the street at Future Ford. I’ve been bringing my car in almost daily on my way home from work. I’m using the monthly pass which is great. I really like to keep my pony shiny and fresh. Bubba’s is awesome, clean, and their customer service is great. Nothing but good vibes from those guys. They are hard workers down there. Don’t forget to tip them. Be nice! Oh and ask for quarters for the vacuum machines. They hook you up which is great. #shaka

Problems are resolved quick here if you take the time out to talk to manager Tom

Wasted $ 10 on a hand dry that I didn’t get — lame!
Ok, first time coming to this place. Pulled up to the kiosk, no attendant any place to assist or answer any questions. Picked the $ 16.99 (top of the line) wash, including wheel dressing and hand dry. Pulled up and finally got thru the line and in to the wash, just one guy here telling me to pull in and sprayed the car with water. No other interaction from this guy. Got thru the wash expecting someone on the other end to provide the drying like any other car wash. Nope. Not even a sign directing you where to go for the dry. So, being a reasonable person, I pulled back around to the front only to find no parking, all stalls were taken up by people self vacuuming /​drying. Only open slots was the handicap and a no parking spot. Wtf? No signs here on where to find this elusive hand drying. I stopped and got out and made a quick look for any attendant any where, no where to be found. Frustrated, I left. Disappointed, will not be back.

This place is awesome Tom is really nice and helped me get through the car wash process and the different prices. nick did my hand dry and it was perfect he asked if there were any extra care needed in spots wich was necessary as my bumber gets real dirty on the new 2014 focuses. overall this place gets 6 stars cuz there not pushy at all just friendly and great customer service. Thanks Tom and nick this was my first time there but definitely not my last

Not very good car wash if you want a clean car after. I still had bugs on my windshield and on the front of my car. I asked the guy if they use a brush on the windshield and he said depends who’s working WTF! 11 dollars for a rinse job pretty much. I prefer justins car wash or Sundance in Roseville.

Good service, friendly staff, nice quality wash. Bonus points for being convenient to my location!

Good and quick car wash. Exterior only with hand dry and wheels dressed. The price is $ 15 and takes about 15mins. Never a line.

They don’t have a wash guarantee because they know their wash won’t get the car clean. Left with spots still on my windshield. Go to quick quack down the street, they do a much better job and you can go back through again if you need to for free.

Just had my car washed. Got the basic car wash I was unaware that the basic wash was meant for a car that was already clean. At least that’s how your very rude employee tried explaining it. Then telling me this person got the full was look how good her car looks. They tells me I can pay to go through again. Last time I was there I talked with a guy that explained how they where about to open a new place it’s closer to where I live I was happy to hear this being I was my car very often. Plus the guy was really friendly and helpful today was the complete opposite I hope for your sake you guys get this fixed

Convenient location. I go here often for a quick wash.
The good:
*Great location. Right off I80. In the same lot as In-​N-​Out… always nice. ;)
*Cheap ($ 6) decent car wash. Includes soap, water and spot free rinse with big blow dryers at the end.
*About 6 or 7 vacuum stations.
*They give you free vacuum tokens with each wash.
*They have a decent selection of car trees for a dollar where you pay.
*Employees have always been friendly. I’ve never had to use the pay machine, they always run over and swipe my card for me.
*I’ve never had to wait longer than a minute or two to pull into the washer.
The not so good:
*I don’t expect a great car wash for so little, but sometimes the machine misses spots and I always get random water spots here and there.
*Sometimes it can be a busy, thus creating a busy crowded parking lot.
*They close kind of early… I’m pretty sure 6pm. I wish they were open later.
*The vacuum stations can be hard to get into during prime hours. You may have a wait a WHILE to vacuum.
Overall a good cheap option car wash. They do have other more expensive washes, but I have yet to try those.

For $ 6 ya can’t beat it! If I lived closer I’d be coming here all the time.
I’m not sure if you can still purchase a «volume discount» card but I did a couple years ago and I’m just now down to the last couple washes.
