Wash N Go

Efficient, kind customer service, never unsatisfied, are few of the many terms Wash N Go deserves. My car never is returned to me scratched, because management makes sure customers are happy, and they actually vacuum dog hair and sand. This type of cleaning is rare to find. Please stop by, I highly recommend.

Called in the day before for my appointment, the manager was very kind and willing to organize pick up and drop off around my schedule. Very pleased with my detail job, will definitely be going back!

Very professional and did absolutely phenomenal work on my F-​150. I had a scratch down the right side they were able to buff out and clean up. Can’t notice it’s there at all anymore. Completed the interior and exterior as scheduled. Highly recommend.

Stop by if there’s no line at the kiosk. I always tell them about extra things I want them to do right before they start. You can give them a top before they start. Seems like you’ll get the VIP treatment that way because no one ever tips. I like this car wash because it’s fast and you don’t have to wait for them to dry your car. Again, come back later if there is a line!

I’m not sure why everyone is giving this place such a bad review but this is one of the best experiences at a car wash that I’ve ever had in my life.
I came here early morning on a Tuesday after having someone throw up in my car the previous night. As soon as I drove my car into the lot I was greeted by a friendly smile and hello. Being my first time here I was extremely impressed by that because most places don’t acknowledge you that quick or at all until you’ve paid. Having seen my very upset and saddened face Anthony, the detail manager tells me to pull my car up to the side and he will take care of everything. He made me feel so much better about the incident. He told me he would steam clean the inside and fine detail all the panels of where the incident happened. The person who had thrown up all over my car had apparently scratched up the entire right side of my car also making me feel once again horrible. Anthony insisted that he would try to buff out as much as he could and even explained to me that if I can get the correct detail paint color he would touch up all the scratches for me the next time I wanted to bring it in.
Words cannot even begin to explain how happy and satisfied I feel with just the interaction, let alone the service. These guys are amazing only because I trusted them to do what they felt best and to not infringe on their job. Most people complain because they come in expecting way too much and being too picky about every little thing. If you let them do their job they will do an exceptional job.
I would recommend this place to anyone who actually has time in their day to get their car detailed. Don’t come here if you are in a time crunch, that’s an unfair expectation to have someone clean your car and detail it in 20 minutes.
Most definitely would recommend, Id give it more stars if I could.

I can hardly believe the car I brought in the morning was the same car I picked up in the afternoon. Having been driven by an elderly driver for 7 years followed by a college student for 3 years the car had more than 10 years of accumulated stains, including beach tar, on the light colored upholstery. After two steam cleanings and six hours of scrubbing it was in the best possible condition. Most of the stains were gone and much of the upholstery and interior surfaces looked new again. It easily increased the resale value by much more than the cost of the detailing.
I was hesitant to bring the car here, as I usually see luxury cars enjoying their weekly spa treatment when I drive by. However Anthony and his team were up to the challenge and I’m very happy with the results.

Modern car wash concept goes wrong. The middle level wash — $ 18 warrants a vacuum of the interior but not here, but ya get a hand dry instead. Sounds like a cheap massage parlor. Nice work staff, greedy owner.

Every time I’ve taken my car here they dinged it with the water spray nozzle and or brush pole. I have a brand new BMW X3 and all the dents I’ve noticed on the car are from getting it washed here. There are 2 major dents on the door railing which are serious and will cost thousands to fix. Truly says a lot about the character of the people that work here.
This same company also owns Fairview Car Wash in Goleta. I decided to be generous to the business and workers and bought the detailing package. They completely botched my paint job. I took it to the BMW dealership and they were mortified. I had to deal with the owner to potentially reverse what they had done the the clear coat of my car. I thought I’d be a loyal customer since the owner dealt with my situation. However, after this ordeal is when all the dents started showing up on my car. I would hear loud bangs against my car as they were «hand washing» my car.
Again, shows you what type of people work at these places, their disposition and lack self respect to do a good job and just be good people. Only bring your car here if you don’t really car what happens to it. Truly terrible and sad people.

Have been coming here since it opened. I’m here once or twice a week. Not sure what’s going on with the place but for the last 2 months it has gotten bad. Unorganized, takes for ever to even get up to the wash area. Not enough help. They use to do a excellent job, but now just a ok job. Maybe they are rushed. Just spent 40 min. in line! Time to look for a place that deserves the business. 6 cars have backed out and left while I’m sitting here!

Antonio has been taking great care of my car for over 3 years now. When you are a regular, all the guys take really good care of you but don’t try to sell you extras.

I just moved here and had my car shipped out from Chicago. When my car got here, it was absolutely filthy with bird droppings, bugs, etc. And I was quite upset since I had gotten my car washed before it was shipped.
I got a wash and dry ($ 18), and not everything came off with the first wash. Everyone there was super nice. They washed my car again for free and made sure it was sparkling clean when they were done. Wished I had timed the whole thing, but it couldn’t have been more than 15 minutes. They were incredibly helpful and friendly!
Their great service is the reason I created an account: purely to tell others how wonderful this place is.
Thank you so much to everyone at Wash N Go!

I don’t Unilocal often but felt it was worth taking the time to steer others away. Swindled into $ 150 package by the manager who ensured a couple of hours of quality detailing. Of course all the while trying to talk me into going elsewhere to get a bite to eat. I chose to sit and wait. He had me pay for the service up front which I shouldn’t have done. Barely an hour later they claim to have finished saying oh, we didn’t wax it though… which was part of the package?! Overpriced, shoddy work. Left towels hanging out of the back of the car. Just not impressed at all.

I’ve had my cars washed there many times since they’ve opened. The last couple of times I went there, the smell of the water they use was so putrid, it actually smelled like they were using sewer water — No exagerration! This has been my go-​to-​place to wash my car but I simply cannot stomach the smell. I won’t go back until I hear that they’ve changed the water they use.

Don’t come here if you have any kind of a time limit. They do a decent job, but it just took over 30 minutes for my car to get washed and vacuumed. I actually had to leave before they had quite finished, because I was already late for my 1030 appointment elsewhere.
The instructions for how to go through are incredibly unclear, and twice when I came I parked by the vacuums and they took the keys and the car was ready in 20 minutes. Another time, I parked by the vacuums, and waited 10 minutes and nobody did anything or even approached me. So I left. Today, there was a lineup of cars, so I got in line. After I went through the wash cycle, I waved me off as though I were done! But I had already paid for vacuuming! So I pulled up next to a vacuum station, and waited.
Finally, I got out of the car and asked if they were planning on doing my car or not. Then they finally started on it, and I said I needed to be on Carrillo Street in 15 min. I came back 10 minutes later, and they were still in the middle of it all. I’m not feeling like a happy camper…

Love that I finally started coming here! I had previously just been taking my car thru the nearby gas station washer… what a difference! For 23 bucks (which doesn’t seem to bad!) Your car will get a good combo of hand and machine wash as well as a thorough vacuuming and wiping down inside. You leave with a dry car so no worry about spots! Have made this a monthly routine.

I totally thought I reviewed this place already, but apparently not, or it has disappeared. Wash N Go is by far my favorite car wash in Santa Barbara. From the curb it looks slightly unassuming. Pull in, select your package and pay at the kiosk. Usually, a friendly staff member will greet you and process your payment for you at the kiosk. Then you drive up to the wash, where several men proceed to hand wash your car top to bottom, and then instruct you to drive through the mechanical washer. (When they are busy, they often offer to drive your car through for you when you select the package that requires them to vacuum and hand dry your car). I highly recommend paying the few extra bucks for that service. They thoroughly vacuum and clean the inside of your vehicle, as well as, hand dry the outside and shine the tires. Your car will look beautiful! I’ve been to Educated Car Wash (where my former employer had a corporate account) and Prestige (where they offer a stellar 2 for 1 SB Axxess card deal) and I still choose to come to Wash N Go because they do the BEST job cleaning my vehicles by far! They are no longer on Axxess but if you mention Axxess card they will usually knock a couple of bucks off bringing the premium package to about $ 21, totally worth it! They also do car detailing and offer incredibly competitive and reasonable rates. I called another car detailing company who received rave reviews on Unilocal for a detailing quote and it was very expensive with limited availability. I asked this company if they recommended any other detailers that might be within my budget and available on short notice, and they recommended Wash N Go — complimenting their good work! That says a lot to me when a well respected competitor recommends another business. So, when you want your car to look fresh and clean, go to Wash N Go! :)

Amazing service! Very fast and friendly guys! Make my car so nice and shiny, always come here for a quick clean, really great for deep detailing too! Make sure to leave them a tip, they do a fantastic job and deserve it!

Something is seriously wrong with me that I feel compelled to review a car wash.
So here goes…
Best. Car. Wash. Ever.
23 shekels for a great car wash. Did everything right. The layout’s a bit unorthodox, but it works. I might be in the minority here, but 23 cold stones for a hand wash is El cheapo!
Unilocal helped me find this place. So just payin it forward.

Baffled… that’s how I feel after reading the great reviews on Unilocal for this establishment. Perhaps my negative experience at Wash N Go was an exception.
I certainly hope so for the sake of the well-​heeled San Roque residents who don’t mind paying $ 23 for a mediocre car wash (plus the expected tip).
The most frustrating part was the lack of clear communication as to what service you get for your money.
So, in the name of civic duty, here is the lowdown:
–for $ 13 you get the car exterior washed, but without drying.
–if you want the car dried, you pay an additional $ 5
–if you want the interior cleaned, it’s another $ 5
Needless to say, I won’t be going again.

It is pricey, but they do good work. Anthony took good care of me and explained the process in detail.
I did the wax package and it cost $ 70 for my Corolla Wagon. They do everything by hand, washing and waxing. And cleaning the interior. No harsh chemicals.
Mostly they use purified water and microfiber cloths rather than detergents or volatile organic chemicals.
They have other detailing services and I plan to come back in the future for some of those services as well.
For years I went to Educated Car Wash. But they got ever more difficult to deal with. They almost never were willing to do a wax job.
One time I called Educated for an appointment and the woman at the desk said to come on in. When I arrived they refused to do the wax job. When I said the name of the woman, the guy said she has no idea what she is talking about and the answer was no. Then he got really rude and smacked my car.
I tried a couple of other places that were OK, but not great.
I think this place Wash N Go is going to be where I keep coming back to. By the way, this is the location of the former Old Fashioned Car Wash, but it is under completely new management.
