Vanowen Car Wash & Detailing

went to get my detailed and came out with broke the driver seat and blamed me for it! after getting an investigation completed on my car, they fund my seat frame had been bent. it was not bent before i got there! i am now pursuing legal action! please save yourself. i wish i woulve read the reviews before i went.

the kind of carwash that leaves you thinking «Wtf was that? did they even do anything?» if you wan’t a thorough quality car wash then don’t come here. this place is sloppy. the workers are slacking off then looking at you like «wheres my tip?»

Amazing customer service, very honest and hardworking guys. My car looks like a new :)))

I have been to this Carwash place numerous times. The last few times I have left disappointed. I would think it would be common sense not to use the same rag that is used with the armorall to clean car windows. It has happened twice already and nothing is more frustrating than paying to get your car cleaned and then having to deal with foggy windows. It is unacceptable. I didn’t even bother going back to get them cleaned the right way. I just won’t go back again. For the 20 dollar Carwash you’re better off having a guy come to your house to wash your car for the same price.

Accidentally spilled my morning cereal on the passenger seat of my new car D:
I was soooo bummed and had to get it cleaned ASAP!
Came to Vanowen Car Wash and told the man what happened to my seat. I also ended up getting a regular car wash. They ended up giving me $ 5!!! Yay!
I was very pleased with my car wash AND my seat! They did an amazing job and it didn’t even take as long as I initially thought!
I will definitely be coming back here for my normal car wash!

Went to Vanowen Car Wash and so happy!
We normally go to the car wash on the corner of Saticoy and Reseda but got sick and tired of them taking so long we decided to try someplace new.
Vanowen Car Wash was quick and good. We had our car detailed for about $ 45. They did an outstanding job! As a matter of fact, after having it detailed, I went to the store walked out and didn’t recognize our car!
That’s how shiny and new it looked. I thought it was someone’s else’s new car!

Worst. Carwash. Ever.
Waiting for my shitty carwash to finish I sat in one of the «massage» chairs. After about 5 seconds the chair told me to «insert money». Just then the lovely owner/​manager/​criminal told me to get out of the massage chair and sit in a regular chair because I was going to «burn the chip» in the massage chair. I hate this place with all my heart and will NEVER be back.

I came to this car wash on a whim. It was not very crowded for a Saturday morning. It took almost an hour for my car to be ready. When I got the car, the inside hadn’t been wiped down, there was still dirt and sand on the carpets, no air freshener, all of which I paid for. I complained to the manager who said the car looked clean to him, but I could get back in line if I wanted to. I will NOT be going back!

This was the worst car wash I’ve ever had.
I paid 15 bucks for a simple crash was I didn’t want anything fancy just a wash and a vacuum inside.
I gave the guy a tip before I got in not realizing that nothing had been vacuumed the trash was in there. I go back and I ask what appears to be the manager if they can vacuum the inside a bit more and he says he’ll send someone over. At this point I’m tired of waiting so I start vacuuming it myself. I’m more that halfway done and the guy come to start vacuuming and still says where should I vacuum uhm I did it already sir bye!
I notice there’s still dirt on the side door and the back like if only water was thrown not even wiped off and I tell the manager and he’s like I don’t think that comes off sorry with an attitude and I laugh and tell him Excuse me you’re telling me that you work at a car cash that doesn’t wash dirt off cars? Can I at least get a towel so he goes go to the other side and SEE if they’ll give you a towel and I said no I’m gonna go so they can clean it not just give me a towel
Overall very disappointed. Might as well have gone to another car wash and done it myself.
To top it off they didn’t put the air freshener that he told me they would.
NEVER COMING BACK! Don’t go here. AVOID AVOID AVOID******

Horrible! A blind person could have cleaned my car better. Rear floor wasn’t even vacuumed. Water streaks everywhere. Dirt on seats not cleaned.

WARNING! AVOID the Vanowen car wash at all cost!!!
I am the proud owner of a brand new Prius and after having my car washed the owner/​staff stole my new car mats, spare tire and boot-​cover and replaced with old shitty equipment. When approached the owner, he denied all allegations and told me to take legal action. I take meticulous care of my car and to be cheated by this crook has made me raise this warning to all future potential clients. DO NOT USE their services as they are crooks and arrogant towards female clientele.
As a result of the theft I have reported this business and its owner to the police and the business bureau for investigation. This has been the most distressing situation that I have encountered — having my honesty and integrity breached by this fraudulent business. I can’t believe that such unscrupulous operators can exist without being reprimanded. This is outrageous and anyone who intends on using this company’s service should reconsider. Avoid it at all cost.

Never coming here again, poor working conditions, horrible customer service. Even the clientele that comes here has their head up in their ass just like the owner. Terrible, terrible, terrible

I don’t like this place any more …

Whenever I am in the area this the car of my choice. Always friendly staff with a smile. The people really pay attention to details on your car. This place does get very busy. The best time to come before 10am or after 4pm. I never had one issues coming here.
They have specials on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s. Car wash with wax for 8.99. I love the fact they take their time and not rush you to get out right away. Hands down one of the best car washes in town.

This place sucks. I got the c package which is the works (inside and out) for $ 19.99. Oh wait it’s $ 5 more dollars for my Subaru Outback which is about 2 square feet bigger than a regular car. I said something to the owner and he gave me an attitude and said that they were the cheapest in town. He said he researched it all the time. I told him I could name 5 car washes that are cheaper off the top of my head and he was pissed. It’s a good thing I am a big scary dude! This guy is a douche and they don’t do any better of a job here than anywhere else. Also there is only a bench big enough for about 4 people and nowhere to really hang out an wait. $ 25+ tip is a small price to pay for a lesson of where to not take my business. I hope you learn from my mistake.

Don’t come here! They now charge you a fee if you use your debit/​credit card. If you have a coupon, it’s not worth it. If you want cash back, theres an additional charge as well.
Go to the carwash on Saticoy and Reseda instead.

They did a jacked up job on my mercades. When they told me the car was done I examined the car and found a bunch of areas they didnt clean. So I asked the guy for his towel and proceeded to wipe my car clean. As im cleaning the car his manager found out his name is MIKE comes to me and says, «this worker needs to leave he needs to clean other cars» instead of asking me what was wrong with the car or how they can help clean it. Instead he barked orders at the poor worker who then scurried off to clean other cars. I mean if they wiped down the car properly then i wouldnt have had to do it myself then to add insult to injury both workers just starred at me while I finished up their jobs instead of helping they basically asked me to leave!!! Can you believe this sh*t?
IM NEVER COMING BACK!

Horrible car wash!
Charges $ 3(!!!) extra for an sub and not even do anything to be worthy of it!
My car was barley vacuumed nothing was wiped and even the front glass wasn’t properly cleaned!!!
Worst!!!

OK job. My car looks presentable. I asked the guy to vacuum the sand since I went to the beach one too many times this summer, but it wasn’t a very thorough job. But then again I didn’t pay for a detail service.
They have a special on Tuesday and Wednesdays for $ 7.99. Annoying that they charge .50c for using credit card though. Not many people use/​carry cash anymore but I guess that’s what comes with a $ 7.99 price tag.

Now that I’ve moved out of the valley and to Marina Del Rey, gone are the days of $ 6.99 Tuesday and Wednesday car washes at Vanowen Car Wash & Detailing. Woe is me (?).
I’m giving them 4 stars because I am happy with the results of the $ 6.99 car wash. They’re not absolutely the best around, but keeping everything in perspective, they get the job done and there’s no craziness. I appreciate the fact that my cleaning guy popped open the shade visor and cleaned the mirror in there. That pushed them from 3 to 4!
