San Diego Car Care – Scripps Miramar

For the price it was lacking. when i got in my car and turned it on, my windshield wiper was on so that completely defeated the purpose of getting it hand dried… so i was disappointed. and there were tons of spots that were not clean. also the cashier said it would take 20minutes which turned into 40minutes :\ there goes my whole lunch

When the dog peed all over both the driver and the passenger seat, I was in the doghouse. I brought the SUV to San Diego Car Care. The car hadn’t been detailed in the dozen years we’d had it so I went for the most comprehensive package.
Angel went over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb. Two hours later it was in better shape than when we’d driven it off the lot. The cashier on duty this afternoon was helpful and had a genuine friendliness. I apologize for not glancing at his name tag when picking up a cup of coffee to enjoy while I settled in with a book during the detailing; we had a brief, interesting conversation. This was a pleasant afternoon of personal time that was well worth the price of the detailing. Getting the SUV cleaned was icing on the cake.
With the job San Diego Car Care did on the SUV my wife drives, I will be bringing in my car next.

The service is usually pretty quick during non-​peak hours. I like the reward system with coupons emailed to me on a regular basis. Only a 4 Star rating because they never seem to get the windows right.

The guy drying my car after the wash put in the time to get every drop and anything the machine missed. You don’t usually get service like this at a gas station car wash. My car hasn’t been washed in months and was filthy. Looks brand new again.

It’s been a while since I’ve left 5 stars, but I loved this place. I like to get my car washed while getting gas and this place has both, it’s connected to Cheveron which is my preferred has station anyways so already excited. Got my gas, asked about the process and the attendant was nice and personable. At first I thought it was because he was going to flirt with me, but he was nice to my boyfriend too and they chatted it up. Then came the car wash. The lady detailing my car was a sweetheart. She gave me an extra car freshener b/​c it started to rain and she was going to re-​dry my entire car, I told her it was no big deal. The staff seams to get along and work well. I give them 2 thumbs up. And will probably get their rewards card.

Could have likely gotten a better deal elsewhere, if not in service, definitely in customer service, upon pulling up it was difficult to tell where they wanted me to park my car, I was directed multiple ways before rudely being told, «just stop I can take it from here». Though a variety of car wash options are available, the gentleman who greeted me simply asked, «just the outside, or vacuum too?» And selected the basic star option for me. Had more time and attention been taken towards customer service I likely would have purchased a more expensive wash (including clear coat protectant, dash board cleaning, etc) in order to avoid having to get my car cleaned for a second time a couple of days later to get what I actually wanted. Would not recommend San Diego car care and will not be visiting again.

I go here from time to time. Not terrible, but they could do so much better with just a little more attention to detail. Wheels are never clean, carpets are never completely vacuumed, etc.

Let me warn you about my $ 550 basic car wash. I have a generally new 2012 well maintained Lexus. I took it here for a basic wash and when I got my car back one of the back up sensors was busted out and pushed back into the bumper. There were bristles from the car wash brushes stuck in the clips of the sensor. The manager Bill said he couldn’t do a thing about it until the owner came in the following day. Days later, I received a call back asking me to stop by. Once I got there, I was shown the video footage that was such poor quality, you couldn’t clearly see the damage, which the manager had already witnessed the day it happened. The owner or operator of the car wash Cameron, explained to me that he would not accept any responsibility for the damage due to the fact that he couldn’t clearly see his own video, this has apparently never happened before and he believed my vehicle was made faulty. His suggestion was that I sue the dealer. Not to mention the fact the car wash itself was horrible.

Horrible quality control. My car looked liked nobody vacuumed cleaned inside. Everything inside is really oily and not cleaned at all. It looks like employees where rushing somewhere, I guess to get more money from silly people like me. Gave them second chance will never comeback. They have better branch in Poway those guys doing great job it just little far from me. Paid 40 $ for horrible service, will not come back again. You guys just lost two clients me and my wife.

Wash the shit out of my truck. It was almost a detail. For $ 20 you can’t beat it. They worked hard. Truck is shiny. I’m happy.

They do a great job and even if you pay for their cheapest package they pay attention to detail when washing your car. They wipe down places that others won’t look at. For example the step on your door. They are fast and facilities are clean. Love their little Halloween tribute!

This rating is for the cashier. She said their debit/​credit terminal was down. Went to Atm nearby and wasted $ 8 in fees. Went back a few seconds later and it was back up she said. Hire competent people. Otherwise the carwash is great. End rant.

Took my car here for a small shampoo job on my back seat and carpet since a friend of mine puked in my car. Tim told me it was going to be around $ 50 for the job. Since they didn’t have a button to ring me up for the job, he rung it up as a STEP 5*, BUT told his coworkers it was just a small shampoo job.
Tim left for the evening, his coworkers worked on my car. When they were finished (an hr and 15 mins later), it didn’t look like it was shampooed. They pretty much did a STEP 5 without a shampoo job.
Two days later, I came back and told Tim what happened. He apologized, took my car in right away and did it RIGHT within 30 mins.
SO THANK YOU TIM! Although there was a miscommunication between the workers, you took care of it right away.
BTW, my car doesn’t smell like vomit anymore :)

Great place. Good car wash. Nice environment and excellent customer service. Definitely recommended.

These guys do a good job. They never try to up-​sell. The car wash takes a while, but they are friendly and thorough.

I did the Ultra Star wash and they did an excellent job. It took longer than I anticipated however when it comes to cleaning a car well, it simply takes time. I’m glad they didn’t rush it. I’ll be back for more washes in the future.

Last visited this place about 20 years ago when you stayed in your car and drove through. Basic, but good IN 1994! Today not so much. Was low on gas and pulled in for gas and wash. Saw the $ 11.99 price, but missed the mouse type disclaimer: with frequent wash plan or something similar. So the «first» price was $ 13.99 which is high in my opinion but basically I said «my bad» and moved on to the car wash.
The gas prices were decent and they moved my car into the wash quickly. Then the next surprise at the cashier: They had added an undisclosed «oversize» charge for my 2014 mid-​size SUV. So now we’re up to $ 15.99. I mentioned this to the cashier and her English rapidly went downhill. Her conversational skills were fine at the start. I’ve been down this road before, paid my bill and vowed never to return.
So add these guys to a small, but growing list (see my review of Touch of Class in Poway) who bait and switch on the price and gouge you at least $ 4.00 over the norm for an average car wash. You can do a lot better elsewhere.

first and last time here. Yes, they were very friendly and I like the whole wash club concept, but why did you have to scratch the car? It’s those towels!
I don’t know what made those swirly things on my hood but obviously you did it, and I’m not happy.
Wash it yourself or better yet, is it rude to provide my own towels? Just a thought…

Amazing customer service!
I’ve been going to them ever since I first got my car early 2012. Everyone is very helpful and friendly, and even go the extra mile to help me out. Even after moving out of the area, I don’t go to anyone else.
Post-​accident, Caliber Collision left scratches on the «new» bumper they replaced my busted one with. After I insisted they buff them out, I drove off only to find out later that they created a new scuff mark the size of on the hood of my car. The next time I got my car washed by San Diego Car Care, they were able to buff out what they could at no extra charge to me.

Car wash. not impressed!!! It looked like it came out worst, those rags are dirty!
Some female (I think she owns it or shes the boss) was really rude to her employees, I felt bad.
