Sparkle Car Wash

They did not vacuum the inside of my car. Manager was also very lackadaisical when I called to complain. He didn’t care that his employees were not doing their job. Don’t go here.

Terrible service, they didn’t vacuum well and still left trash that was on side cupboards and under my seed. They also didn’t clean my mirrors too well.

Good, not great! I got a basic wash and my car looks good but there are definitely some places they missed or forgot to even check to clean like the compartment under the armrest and where the vents are are still really dirty. But seeing as it’s a basic wash I can’t completely complain but I’m always a fan of a place that will go above and beyond and then I’m willing to tip more or want to get a detail from them!

I came here recently for a car wash and I can still see streak mark on my car which they didn’t do a good job cleaning the exterior and finger prints on the glass windshield like a crime scene just happened… I sure as hell won’t be returning back here.

I have been coming several years and the past couple times they don’t do a great job. They don’t vacuum the car properly and leave fingerprints all over. I will be trying another car wash.

Let me start by saying when I pulled my car up, three men (I believe they all worked there) were standing there talking, no one greeted me until I got out the car about 2 minutes after I pulled in strike 1. Then the cashier had a funky attitude like someone pissed in her Cheerios (honey you should be grateful to have a job), strike 2. Then to top it off, I had water marks on the passenger side and they absolutely didn’t vacuum it. I have a toddler who loves raisins so you best believe I can tell when my car is vacuumed or not. Anyways this was my first and last time here, my regular car wash is often busy but I guess it taught me a lesson to be more patient and not cheat on my regular place. Long story short, don’t come here.

Go anywhere else but here. An hour for a wash is never acceptable. Let alone the distracted guy cleaning the car talking to everyone and dragging the vacuum around the cars scratching it. Water spots from drying the car in the sun and at the very minimum you would expect the cup holders to be cleaned. I spent an extra $ 15 bucks to run it through the car was down the street in Rosemead and they got the job done in 20 minutes as oppose to an hour

Not a good visit, I should have reviewed Unilocal first. I went on my lunch period so I was already pressed for time. The guy that runs the front has discretion with the pricing compared to the board and will throw out a number. I’m not a big fan of this because I just want a wash and go but fine whatever, «haggle» if you like (I didn’t), it was at least cheaper than listed. I pay and wait… and wait… and wait. I go inside and ask what is taking so long, there’s not a ton of customers (and also employees). The lady leaves and returns and says that the «express» wash takes a long time because they detail it and wax it and will be another 20mins (its been 45mins at this point). I go over to talk to «Rocky» and see what’s going on. He tells me that it takes a long time to clean and detail everything. I point out the sign to him says «20mins after wash» and their website says that it goes tot eh front of the queue, how «express» is slow I have no idea and then Rocky tries to tell me that the sign is wrong (how is that my problem, change the sign then), I told him the issue is more about setting expectations, if you’re running behind tell reset your customers expectations and say «75mins» and if I can do it I will. They pull up my SUV and goes to hand me the key, I point out a few keys areas that have a ton of dirt, they didn’t vacuum or clean my trunk (I asked them about this up front and called them on it) and there were a number of other things that were missed. It took me over an hour from start to finish, I approached Rocky about this again and pointed out all the issues I’ve had and he offers me a «free» wash on his word «next week». I burned my lunch period and some on this for a mediocre wash. I’m not interested in returning «next week». Local, small businesses like this car wash rely on repeat business from customers in the area, I hope they can pay better attention and fix this.

Basic car wash $ 15+3. Left spots on the roof, didn’t vacuum the trunk, left dust inside the car in many places even on the flat plastic surfaces. The car looks cleaner but it is really not.

Stopped by here to get my car washed and was very happy with the job. The price was typically for the area car washes. The inside was very clean and smelled very nice. The outside was also very clean. The technicians were nice and very helpful. As far as car wash places go, this was a good one.

Very disappointing. Ran terrible. Run down, and bad for your cars paint. Crew seems nice but they don’t even use soap on your car they just wash dirt around. I think this place is going out of biz.

F’ing THIEVES. Took my wife’s car to get it washed. Didn’t search the entire car beforehand (my bad). She had $ 50.00 in cash that was stolen out of the center consol.
Besides the thieves working — the car wash was terrible. I had to wipe off dirt before I left because it wasn’t even clean.
Will never — ever — ever — never — go back. –NEVER.

not worthy to pay $ 18.99+$ 5 for a car wash and still have to go home vacuum and wipe all the dusts off. Still see clear bird poops on the headlights

I’m surprised at some of the reviews. I’ve been here at least 20 times over the past 15 years and not been disappointed. Today, there was no wait and they were also offering a managers special of $ 3 off the regular wash. My car was covered with firework residue but I was in and out in about 20 minutes. These guys really hustle. I’m sure I’ll be back again.

Car washes always seem to have some hubris, that ends up being hamartia: truly Pride cometh before fall. This place is one of the better cleaners in the area, but the wait times tend to be longer than many, and the sales guys on the front end always go for an upsell with prices set at their whim and fancy.
A furrowed brow and a disgruntled look often knocks ten bucks off the quoted price. Today I brought in the bride’s Tahoe with a year’s worth of kid spills, doggy shedding, and assorted human detritus. A complete carpet shampoo, wipe down, and wash started high and landed at $ 70… Not bad I suppose, considering the actual cleaning is usually better than expectations.
Sitting here waiting, and the 90 minute time has come and passed. It was pretty dirty in there, so I’m hoping for a good outcome.
At least there are plenty of places to sit, and I walked around the neighborhood taking Waze photos to up my score. The purchase gauntlet inside is pretty empty, and there is a small TV with «Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?» Playing a little too loud to merit closed captioning. It drowns out the gals chatting behind the register though, so you make lemonade in life I suppose.
Just don’t give that lemonade to a three year old on leather seats, or you’ll be trapped here too. I’ll save you a seat.

I was happy with the service and the wash, but now I sit outside the closed Sparkle Car wash at 6:30 pm. I have keyless entry and they kept the keys Fortunately or unfortunately, I carry an extra key (which why I could drive off with out the main keys) but will have to return a second time to retrieve my keys that I had set on the dash. With so many vehicles having keyless entry this should not happen.

First time here, but it might not be my last… great service, great cleaning as well… the only downside that id have to complain about is that they aren’t «low-​car friendly»…my car is too low to pass thru the drive thru car wash station… so I have to get it handwashed and pay that extra, so no manager special for me… but it’s still worth paying that extra because they do a great job both inside and outside.

Employees have a lack of motivation here and it shows in the poor washes they sell here. Vacuum was half-​assed and management seems unqualified.
However the drinks and snacks were priced nicely (not too expensive like other car washes)

What a shit experience! Came out with additional stains on the interior because of carelessness. They said they vacuumed but it was not — so we had to get it redone. The manager couldn’t care less about customer service. Never again!

First time here, and I pulled right up. As I walked up to the waiting area, the smell of POPCORN heavily permeated the air, as I soon realised a FREE POPCORN came with car wash! Veeery interesting (rubs imaginary beard on chin).
I was probably sitting for a total of 15 – 18 minutes, but the bland «Which member of Seal Team 6 REALLY killed Osama» on the news kept me entertained… NOT really, I barely stared for more than 4 seconds, which would barely justify it as a STARE!
The care was shiny, smooth, and sparkly… JUST the way I like it!
$ 12.95 for a basic wash though (outside only) was a bit pricey, I can get it down the street for $ 8.99, so I will prob not be back.
