Harv’s Car Wash

The detailing shop is a big disappointment. The work was sloppy, hap hazard and looked as if I just took it to a regular car wash. The side windows were full of spots and the interior windshield was full of streaks that made visibility poor. There were lots of spots missing in the interior (both vacuuming and leather treatment). To pay almost $ 200 for this was highway robbery. To top it off… when the car was done, nobody called me so I waited an extra 2 hours at a coffee shop. Never again…

Misleading advertising. I came in for the «manager special» coupon in my email as well as presented on their own website. After a lengthy wait. I was told I cannot use the coupon because they are not accepting it. And was handed a bill for the pre-​discount price. I asked to speak to a manager and the manager said the owner said they can only accept coupons printed because people were taking advantage of the coupons?!? I said the coupon said to present to be scanned not printed. He said also no where does the coupon said it doesn’t have to be printed. And that I should think from his perspective. I told him this is
Misleading and false advertising. He said the owner told him two weeks ago to stop accepting coupons. Well it would hen time saver had your made the changes to your website and stop sending out coupon in exchange for email registration. Completely baffled that this business practice is acceptable. However from the reviews here of the messes up jobs they do. I should be happy they didn’t get a chance to touch my car.

Easy process for everything, but MAKE SURE you go over your vehicle after they say they’re done. I pointed out a handful of spots they missed and they didn’t touch the interior of my trunk at first. Brought it up to someone and they brought it right back to get it done for me. All in all the people are nice and helpful and the amount of time it took to get everything i had done (also had it waxed) was reasonable.

I have been here on Thursday. Not much people here, I guess it’s workday. They use machine to wash and wax. But they wipe the car by hand. Pretty clean after wiping. Spending about 31 dollars on that. Not bad not well.

I’m a regular customer at Harv’s… I like to save time, help conserve water, and what not. I can honestly say there will be good and bad visits, it depends who finishes up the last touches on your car. The business itself is great, they accommodate any complaints or whatever you’re not happy with.

I’ve taken my car here 3 times and each time my car came out great. So clean and detailed nicely. You sure do get what you pay for. I like to do the clay car wash and if you go online and get there coupon you get this wash for $ 99 instead of $ 139 which is awesome since your car comes out nicely washed and cleaned so well on the inside. What I love is that I can drop off my car in the morning and go back to work and once my car is ready they give me a call and let me know. I’m very busy and to be able to do this is so great.

This place is clean. Professional service. I come here to get my car wash 6 times already. Thank you for the great job cleaning my car.

They do a great job on car wash. i have been coming here since a couple of years and they always do a great job. They also have a nice seating area.

I would not recommend this car wash. We went in and got the Harv’s Ultimate wash for $ 36.99. As soon as we got there, an older gentleman helped us out. He didn’t even look at our car before pushing the most expensive package. We refused and told him what we wanted. He continued to try and sell us on packages, and got rude with us.
When the car was done, we checked it out, and it was still pretty dirty. The inside was half vacuumed and still had dirt on the carpet. The windshield was still dirty and under the wipers hadn’t been touched. We went back to the front and asked them to clean the car a bit more, and they told us they we should have told them to clean under the wipers. I’m sorry, I thought that was part of getting a car wash.
They also tried to blame us for having a dirty car, and told us they would be there all day if they had to clean every aspect of the car. Sorry guys, no empathy here, do your job.
They continued to try and sell us expensive packages, but we had already decided that we didn’t want to come back.
The only good part of this place was Manny, he listened to our complaints, and apologized.
We drove away with our car still dirty.

Went here this morning for 2 main reasons: the «minion-​van» was in dire need of a scrub down after a road trip to LA and I wanted to go somewhere so that the kids could actually see the minivan go through the wash. It was a Sunday morning so somewhat crowded (and expected), but that being said — if I could give this place 2.5 stars, that would be the ideal rating, and here are the reasons why:
Upon arrival, we were greeted by an employee who showed us the options, and upon choosing «the works,» he opened up the one of my side doors to look inside and while trying to manually force close the door (by the way, it’s automatic close and I’m sure this is not the first time he’s seen a newer minivan) he tried to up-​sell us on the spray wax for «just $ 5 more.» I told him we would just stick with the works package for $ 25.99, and add on $ 3 for a minivan, making the total $ 28.99.
Upon entering the lobby/​cashier, we see a handwritten sign on the door saying they were having mechanical problems with the brushes, but that each car would be hand washed prior to entering the tunnel so as to «ensure a high quality» wash. This was fine — however — I feel that this should have been disclosed upon arrival so that people could decide whether or not they would like to still have their car washed.
The «minion-​van» came out and only one employee wiped down the car. He took a fair amount of time (I suppose a minivan is pretty large) so it’s a good thing I brought snacks for the kids, but considering it took him a while, I would have expected a CLEAN and THOROUGH job, which is NOT what we got when we walked up to the car. We basically had to have the employee re-​wipe down the entire bottom portion of the car, all the way around — now who’s to say if the non-​working brushes would have gotten this, but at the same time, since he took so much time to wipe down the car, it should have been VERY apparent that the car was still dirty. We felt «bad» for having him re-​wipe the entire car, but then again, I’m paying close to $ 30 for a car wash so you bet I’m going to leave with a mostly clean car that I’m happy with. I still have a fair amount of bugs on the front license plate, but at this point, we were like: whatever.
The high note is that the lobby/​cashier area has a great viewing area so that the kids could see the car go through the wash, which was again, one of the main reasons I went here. I’d rather go back to the Santa Clara Car Wash on El Camino for $ 20 and get a better wash and dry, but with no viewing area.

Hi guys after they washed my car I couldn’t even realized because rims and interior were still bad. After I asked them why it’s not clean they told your car is so dirty. What kind of sentence is it for a car washer? Never will be back and don’t waste your money with going there. I paid $ 30 and got 0 service. Rain makes my car cleaner than these guys lol. The worst place ever.

Girlfriend was getting her hair done in the area and decided to give this place a try. Ended up being one of the best car washes that I’ve had in a while. Friendly employees and were respectful towards my requested needs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good car wash.

Harv’s is within a mile of my house. And they’ll do a decent job on your vehicle. Other than that, they are expensive and they are super slooooow. I usually go on a Sunday morning right when they open. You might as well go mid day when they have 100 cars. Once you get your car into the wash (minimum 20 – 25 minute from the time you pull in) and it comes out, they’ll have 4 guys working on wipe down. But two guys will be on one car!?! Today is the last time I’m coming here. Anyone is better served going to Lazanos in Sunnyvale or any other place.
That said, if you have nothing else to do and, say, want to bring you lap top and work for 45 minutes to an hour, come to Harv’s!

Most Unilocalers will usually go out of their way to leave a bad review but Harv’s deserves more than that!
They really went above and beyond to make sure my experience was up to par. Prices are competitive and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Don’t waste your time or money else where!

I paid for the hand wax, so it wound up being about $ 60.
For $ 60, your car gets run through a mechanical car wash left over from the 70’s. They took forever to clear a car ahead of mine from the end of the wash so there was an extra wait there. After they finally got through I was running late so I hopped in and went. The windshield was clean and the front seats had been vacuumed so I had a couple of happy minutes.
However, there’s still bird poop stuck on the side (passenger side door, didn’t notice it until my wife got into the car), the rear area of my SUV was not vacuumed, there’s dirt inside the handle on the tailgate and the car feels like it hasn’t been waxed!
For $ 15 I’d let it go. For $ 60 I expect the car to be well washed and to get what I paid for. Not going back.

Bummed to write this review. Bummed because it is so close to my house and it is convenient. Bummed because I don’t think they will stay in business if they continue this trajectory of crappy customer service and quality of work.
From the first interaction with a Harv’s employee I was miffed. The guy who greets customers and has them pick a service is shady. Hard to describe, but I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him. The pricing is posted but he negotiates different rates per service and customer. Not a good feeling. Feels like I am negotiating for a used bike at the flea market. I didn’t come to negotiate.
The quality of work has declined over my last 4 visits. I could go in to detail but I will just say that a local kids car wash could do better work.

My regular place was shutdown (Countryclub Carwash) and my SUV badly needed a cleaning before taking a road trip in a few days. I stopped by Harv’s. The truck was dusty and it is big, so they insisted on a hand wash for $ 69.99. Fair enough. I took off for lunch and came back an hour later.
One of the worst washes I have ever had done on the truck! My bad, I had to rush out without checking closely and did not notice until I got home later in the day how much they missed. They obviously had never opened the rear hatch. The bumper and back storage area was still filthy. Untouched. The windows were dirty inside too. On the outside, the passenger side lower panels did not look like they had been touched either. They were still streaked with road dust. Adding to the mess, this morning’s dew washed additional dirt out of the mirrors. From the looks of it, they never directed any water at the mirros and only hand wiped the outsides.

Very pissed. Like beyond pissed off. I’ve been here a few times before since it’s close to my house and they did an alright job. It was quick and I was out and the car was clean enough. They don’t do the BEST job on the inside of the car; I always have to go over it, but like I said, it’s fine.
The front line guys always try to swindle you into some kind of deal, which sometimes I don’t really mind but I definitely think is sleezy. Whatever, I got a wax for $ 10, so I guess that’s worth it.
The part that boils my blood is the fact that SOMEHOW the shield that holds and protects the tire on the back of my car, FELL OFF, WAS CRACKED DOWN THE MIDDLE AND SCRATCHED LIKE I HAD GOTTEN IN A HORRENDOUS ACCIDENT. … Wtf. (Picture included)
The manager came over and said that he would go to pick n pull and get me a new one, so if he does do that that, I’ll revise this, but as of right now, my $ 500 tire shield is in pieces on the managers office floor.
DO NOT GO HERE. I DONT CARE HOW CLOSE IT IS TO YOUR HOUSE!!!

Are you f***ing kidding me???
Drove in my new car in desperate need of a wash after work today and came home to find SCRATCHES ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR.
See photo. They will be hearing from me. In person.

I like this place. Not only that– I like the people working there too. From the lady that guided me to where I initially should go to the cashier Veronica (?) and the men that does the actual wash.
Was it because I went early at 8:30? They cleaned the car really well. Bird droppings gone. Evidence of chocolate indulging while driving on the passenger seat gone as well.
Quick turn around time with an excellent service.
First time’s a charm I guess? Not overly greased up inside of the car. Especially the pedals.
So. I shall be back? Makes sense for now.
