Carwash of La Jolla

DO NOT GO HERE! Boycott this place if you can. No attendants to help you if you need a problem. So I paid $ 10 for the superwash. I honestly think there is no soap at all! I normally go to a carwash in Convoy that does an excellent job. I don’t like to complain, but honestly this place rips you off. I think that the owner of this place does not check the barrels in the carwash to see if things are working properly. I also think that people just drive out of the wash pissed and forget to complain. It just rinses your car off. Why spend the $ 10 for the superwash when you can just get the basic wash for $ 6. I think people just go here for the convenience factor, but if you want quality go somewhere else!

$ 6 got me a vaguely clean car that was not totally dry at the end. You get what you pay for?

First, I must thank Carwash of La Jolla for giving me the motivation to start Unilocaling…
In all fairness, most people probably don’t expect an automated car wash ($ 10 max) to produce a pristine car. It’s a fast, cheap and convenient alternative to a handwash (which can cost upwards of $ 50) or the good, old-​fashioned, do-​it-​yourself method. Admittedly, I take advantage of such on occasion, usually when I can barely see out of my windows and I don’t have the time, money or energy for either option as mentioned above.
Unfortunately for me, I believed the bad experiences to be isolated, mechanical flukes so I gave this place not one, not two, but three opportunities for redemption. The final attempt was the worst. I drove out of there with a car looking worse than it did going into the wash… how can that be? Well, it’s a brush-​less wash (using high-​power jets of water) half of the sprayers did not work so one side of my car never came into contact with any water… then comes the blobs of tricolored foam… no rinse and a ½ mile drive home results in me spending the next hour or so doing-​it-​myself with $ 10 less in my wallet and a whole lot of animosity for the Carwash of La Jolla.
No attendant on site although there is a little sticker when you first drive in: «For problems call…» straight to voicemail, never to be heard from again.

0 stars if I could. Would you pay to have a car wash leave spots on your car? I thought spot-​free rinses were standard everywhere.
The dryer is stationary so you get a bad drying job. And the whole time, water drips on your car. So you have to get out of your car, and then wipe off the excess water.
$ 6 for a regular wash, $ 10 for a super wash whatever that is. Don’t come here!
