Paul Jimenez

Love this place, keeps my vehicle looking new

Divs Dever

Quick car wash with free vacuum.

Dina Soma

They do an amazing job. They left my car super clean from the inside!!

Abtin Shakouri

Went to this new car wash, really liked it. I like that they have so many options, and the prices are reasonable, I did an outside only wash, and it costs only $5.99, and for that price they let me do free vacuum, granted I have to do it myself, but it is so cheap. The lady told me that they used purified-water and it leaves less streaks, I was really skeptical. I like my windows rolled down, but after a car wash it leaves streaks when you roll down your window, but I had much less streaks, so I guess purified water actually does something. The owner, Alex, is very dreamy...beautiful green eyes...#hotstuff Overall good place, will go back.

Jimmy franklin

This car wash place can be much better if employees don't lie and don't be rude.

Lanae Cru23

Don't clean well inside my car :/

Christi Chaney

Took my 2013 Honda crosstour and the wash machine broke my whole back windshield wiper off . The Manager told me one out of ten crosstour the back windshield breaks off. Hell if the would have posted that I would not have took the risk. Two months ago they told me they would fix my car my car is just now getting fixed after I got the run around and had to threaten to sue.

Robert Robinson

Easy peasy and economical.

Esther Ludwig

They do a good job....

enrique enriquez jr

Wow this work car place in lakewood take good care of there customers....

Latifah Moore

Didnt receive the service that i paid for.

Horrible experience. I don’t think it should matter what kind of car your drive. My car is a Volvo 240 and I wanted it to get wash. With vacuum. Point is that they didn’t clean my car properly. My window is dirty and I paid $22 bucks and they do a better job in south central for 15 bucks. Another issue was that my car has been broken into and my key ignition is messed up and asked the guy don’t turn it all the way if not it’s going freaking lock. Poor communication. And now I’ve been sitting here trying to turn on my car for almost an hour and a half. Horrible experience. A few workers were kind enough to try and help me, but still not going to come back here!

Katherine Garza

Good

Rick Johnson

Good for price

Bob Massey

I have moved. But I visit Lakewood - a lot. We always went to LCWD. When we get near Lakewood, we got get the car/truck washed. If you live close to South and Lakewood - you are very lucky.

Nicole Fonoimoana

Love this car wash. You absolutely get your money's worth.

Tomache Peoples

They did an excellent job and fast

Ubettabelieveits Real

Great job everytime that I have been there...

Hil Hernandez

Great price for a great car wash along with free vacuum. Vacuum is very strong compared to others in the area and makes it easy to do a good job.

Adriana Rodriguez

It's the worst car wash I have ever been to!! I paid $14 and my small vehicle was still dirty! I usually do it myself for less than $8 including vacuuming. And just a little word of advise be careful because I saw very tiny cracks on my windshield and they do have a sign that they are NOT responsible for any damages!

Andres Hernandez

Awesome place!! Staff is always happy and cheerful. Has easy entrance and easy exit.

Ari Cosores

They do a great job on your car

Chris Miller

This is the greatest car wash I've ever been to. My car came out looking brand new! The staff was so nice and helpful! I will never go to another car wash. Make sure you get the Lakewood Lava it makes my car so clean and shinny!

Thomas Ferguson

Excellent service

Marisol Gutierrez

I would not go back. The car did not smell newly cleaned inside, doors werent cleaned inside, left with alot of water spots.

Leon Armstrong

Good cleaning spot

John Naughton

Nice carwash

corks Esparza

Great service drive thru wash is perfect for quick and on a budget wash

Jacob C

This car wash scratches your car gaurnteed. I bought a brand new black Audi and I got it washed after two weeks of buying it. Their was a long scratch on the right side. I showed the manger and he apologized. I'm upset and I will never ever go here again. I advise everyone to get a hand wash. Trust me don't go here unless you want swirl marks and scratches all over your car.

Chris Dooley

Always a good experience at this carwash!

Alberto Rios

This placed used to be ok. Not anymore.

John W

It's a car wash, can't expect too much more than that:)

Kelvin DeWinter

Good service reasonable prices.

Stevenu6 Perez

Went to get my jeep washed and described what I needed cleaned. They chanrged me 80+ and I waited over 3 hours for a mini detail. They left scratches and mud and they rudely refused to call the person in charge. Save yourself a headache and dont go here.

Emilio Tobar

1 star just because i couldnt gave them o stars... worst car wash ever !!! Never come back again

Rayan Mufti

Fast and easy drive through ! 6$ for the basic wash.

heather Bray

Love that they hand dry the cars. Makes a huge difference.

George Beitenhaus

Pulled in and waited 15 minutes to even talk to someone, then I find out their $35 package only includes dusting off the dash and a regular wash? Oh and if you want it to take less than 40 minutes, that's gonna cost $49.99 Place is a total rip off that's 2 blocks away from a place that does more for only 20 Never going here again

Beck Beck

In this case, You get what you pay for! After my car ran through their bristles my car handle went missing. They wouldn't look for the part or allow me to look for it. I was directed to the cashier and all she did was take my name and # on a piece of receipt paper. I'm definitely disappointed at how this was handled. It's been over a month and nobody has called. Had I known this was a possibility, I would've just taken it to its normal hand car wash on PCH before hitting Crenshaw. My car is not old, I have a 2015 and a handle piece shouldn't just come off. This place was recommended by a friend and nothing's ever happened to his truck, but I won't be coming back.

Andres Garces Unda

The offers is good to analyze twice.

Laura Muñoz

I have been thinking here for years! Both to do it yourself cleaning, which is new so if you want to do the cleaning yourself but dont have the tools at home Lakewood Car wash & Detail is the place to go. But if you're in a rush and need experts to the job with their great hospitality this is the place to also get your Car detailing done. I highly recommend! :)

Yvette Garcia

My car was rear ended at their car wash and they're trying to say it didn't happen there when one of their employees was a witness and the manager now states he no longer has the video

Patricia Brown

Great car wash.

Nightmare Nerd

Nice car wash but they stole the symbols from cars land Disney

Erik P

Came to get the car washed and picked out the Best wash for $10, paid extra $1 for the wheel armor all that was a complete rip off as it didn't do anything. At the end of the wash they have 2 people working doing a hand dry but only had 1 side dried off as the other guy was too busy chit chatting with a coworker. The ticket writers seem not to care about the job and seem bothered. One of the guys dropped some bad words and luckily my daughter didnt hear it. The machine actually did a decent job at washing the car and vacuum's work good. Would probably not be back due to the lack of service .

Rodrigo flores

I like they do good work I'm happy

Ed Herrera

Keep your car and your girl clean

Marlon Mendez

Outstanding customer service and a very quick in and out place. Mario is very professional

Stefan Rhys

My car went in dirty. . . Came out dirtier. . . Baked on. I was not made aware that there would be no inside detailing and I opted for "The Best Wash" (as was shown on the sign). "You vacuum it yourself" was all I was told. When I re-approached the guy who took my money after the first lousy wash (which also I wish I knew this rental car better as I would also be willing to bet you the car was damaged in the process) he was uninterested in even allowing me to pay the difference to have the proper wash job done. . . Suggested a heavy duty wash/wax and detailing. Customer service blows. Wash was near useless to me. This is essentially a way of getting people through en masse and taking your money. I've had better self-service car washes elsewhere. Signage was terrible. . . Including half of one of the major signs which indicated detailing was half missing. . . What that meant, I had no clue. . . But now I understand. I won't EVER be coming back here again.

Misty Moreno

They change prices every time you go offer things you purchase then dont do it. Do not do detail inside. They do not do a good job

D. Kennedy

Often busy and not as thourough.

Gamer Squish

Slow!! Wasted 30 minutes of my precious time for no apparent reason. Two lane and only 1 lane move while mine just stand still. They made no attempt to fix issue. Saw one person keep going back to office after acxept a payment. He was walking slowly back to office. So 5-6 car on other lane would move for every 1 he did.

Marcos Rios

Friendly staff excellent services in my experience the best around the srea

Steven Driskell

Took my tacoma to get washed(not the tacoma prerunner, the normal sr5 tacoma) and was charged an oversized vehicle fee. When i noticed several cars around my truck were larger than mine, i asked the cashier if they were charged the oversized vehicle fee as well. After a brief back and forth, she flat out said that it didnt matter my truck was smaller, i was charged because i drove a truck. TLDR; mini truck charged as an oversized vehicle

Richard Vasquez

Horible! I went for a normal carwash and when I got my car back and my hood was all scratched up! And when I brought it back to show the manager they said that the scratches were already there. Eff this place I do not sugest anyone to go here.

Adelle Enriquez

Came back from central California with a dirty car. Got a carwash and there's still dirt on the hood of my car. Wouldn't recommend coming here.

Leonard Rogers

No one at the pay center, but boss was worse. Don't care to watch an employee get belittled.

Vanessa Soriano

Great and quick service. Conveniently located on South St and Lakewood Bl. A little pricey on the detail side but very reasonable on the self- help.

Rockn Delight

Convenient..Local.. Friendly... Clean..Fast no long wait time..Free vacuum manual service.

Huzefa Bagdadi

Good enough for a quick car wash

jon pitts

Best $6 car wash around

Steve Clark

Great deal

chris vandegevel

Awesome carwash for all....I used just the automatic wash for the first year...then I bought a newer car and checked into the club membership, $35 a month gives me unlimited carwashes where my car is vacuumed and totally hand dried...I love it...

Jose Navarro

Good service and nice space to wait with food options.

JC Ramrod

This place is good if all you want is to get the dust off your car and for $5 you can bypass the extreme detailing and just drive through and have the dirt on the outside removed from your car. For more money you can have the complete car Wash where they vacuum and clean the inside and if you want to pay even more they will do detailing on the side.

Jacob Dyess

Fast and people were nice

sarah Potts

so I went to get my truck washed and expected it to be about 20 maybe 30 min (there was no line) I went in and sat down for about 25 min then forgot I needed to pay so I payed and thought my truck was done since I saw it sitting there not being touched for 15 min. one of the workers kindly apologized and stayed about 15 more min so I waited and it still didn't get touched. I went and started vacuuming it myself until the manager came to me and asked me to stop and showed me my receipt and the receipt said I'd only been waiting 45 minuted I told the manager I sat and waited 25 minutes until I payed so the receipt was wrong. the manager was a complete a## about it and just walked away. I waited a total of 1 hour and 11 minutes and my truck was still not donso I left. it wasnt the workers fault they did not have enough workers to do the job. ill never go back.

Robert Cobiellas

I could've done a better job I less time. Two stars for the outside of the car and one star for the inside.

jorge Chavez

The employees r very friendly, good customer service. ..

Jason Gonderman

Just instituted a new policy that doesn't allow vehicles with outboard mounted spare tires. So my Jeep Wrangler was turned away after years of using them with no other explanation. Poor business practice.

Fernando Acevedo

Fast and easy car wash with free vacuum

Clarity Purdy

Better inexpensive car washes that I've been to before period friendly service to vacuum hoses so you don't have to drag them all over the place for each car. Lots of room to detail and vacuum your car. Good experience overall!

dinila floyd

They half clean it to be very expensive...super disappointed

Ken Nguyen

Very good price for the $6 car wash

Leonard Bryant

Excellent Service

Raelynn

I visited this car wash today and it was 25 dollars. When they were done I looked at my car and the hood wasn't clean, the seats weren't wiped down, the center counsel wasn't wiped down, the middle section of the back seat floor wasn't vacuumed, and the bumper was still dirty. Over all the parts inside the car that were wiped down were still spotty and had dust spots. The windows were the only thing that were cleaned properly. The girl at the counter was very nice, but I won't be coming back here.

Sergio Serratos

I like coming here but I would really like to see the different packages that are offered and what they include. Also website hasn't been working. I would like to enroll in the carwash membership that's offered but that's also not happening right now.

Martin Fido

Paid $50.00 for quick detail, got in and drivers side looked like it hadn't been vacuumed, dash was not shiny at all. Get way better cleaning for only $20.00 regular car wash at Compton car wash. Too much to pay for poor service.

jose millan

Excelent service..well organized

Baby Girl

Cheap and good clean

Van Schlichting

Been going here 17 years. Always liked them, but they now seem to have shortened their hours so only the unemployed and retired can show up. Here is a hint....working people usually work till 4 or 5. You used to close at 6 and I could make it. Now it's pointless for me to even try.

Hal Reinheimer

Over priced for what they give as far as a wash

Shavonna Freeman

Leaving here I feel like I'm in a new car.

oliver reyes

Expensive membership great fast express service

Greg Arcuri

Ive been going here since they re- opened. They used to give me a hard time about my rubber liner in my truck bed but they are over that now. I was very happy until the last couple of times I went. I always get the $10 wash which includes a wipe down, but the last 3 times it looked like they missed that part. I am not a complainer as a rule, but just got done re-washing my truck because there were more water marks than when I took it in. I usually go 1-2 times a week, but after today, I will just spend the extra $4 and go to a different car wash where they will also do the windows etc. I like their vacuums and don't mind doing that but having to wash it again when I get home has changed my mind about this car wash. Too bad because they are so convenient for me and very fast, which I really like. I may try one more time if my truck gets super dirty but probably not. And yes its black, and yes I am picky.

Min Seo

$6, Free vaccine, and fast wash

MoohUon

If you guys can look closer, you will see some scratches lines on my brand new, three months car after I came out out from the machine. I came here very often because I have two cars and everything was fine until today. I asked to talk to the manager the girl at the counter inside the store told me that the manager was not there, she would sent someone to take a look. The old guy came out and try to argue with me that it was not because of the machine. I kept telling him that when I was in the middle of the machine I heard something weird on my roof. I showed him to take a look at three long curve lines, He still tried to ignore it and left. I had to call my insurance guy and they told me to wait for the police to get the report. While I wait, there two more guys came out with some types of chemical to wipe out those scratches. Some was gone, but the glass area there were some deep scratches still. They gave me the manager card and have me call back later. I left really mad.

Van Lancaster

I like going here because their Carwash does a very good job and they give seniors a very nice discount

Joomyung Song

I don't even wanna give 1 star. Their car wash system broke the shark fin of my car. I kept calling them and ask them to let me talk to manager for reimbursement. They just said no you can't. Don't go this horrible car wash place. Their service is really bad.

Irwin A

Paid almost $17 for a bad wash. Came here because the one on Bellflower was closed. Paid more and no armorall and wash was bad. Had to ask guys to clean many missed spots on car. They need to do a better job, don't think I'll come back here...

patricia walton

Quick, Easy and Cheap. Love that you have the option to vacuum the vehicle yourself.

Samuel Hernandez

tem's poptarts

Fast car wash for $6 plus do it yourself vacuum. Can't beat that deal!

Thomas Meales

Good friendly service.

Hayes Adams

BEWARE of a possible SCAM!!!! My experience goes like this. My uncle let me borrow his 2016 Lincoln MKZ for a few days while I was visiting from out-of-state. I took his car in to get washed. The service writer was rude, and stupid. I got it washed and left. My uncle noticed his HANDICAP PLACARD was missing. I called, and the lady there said they had it. I drove back the 10 plus miles to get it back. I received no apology, no compensation, not even a refund!!! The SCAM probably goes like this: The employee steals the HANDICAP PLACARD, they hold onto it for a day, hoping the owner does not notice it missing, and call back as I did. Then they sell the PLACARD to some other LOW-LIFE, for a dollar amount reflective of its expiration date. SO BEWARE OF THIS PLACE FOR “ALL” THE REASONS LISTED ABOVE!!!!!!

al patel

Good car wash

L Rojas

$5 am special free vacuum

patricia Rodriguez

The supervisor Anthony does not have a good attitude towards customers, he has no smile and doesn't know how to take care of his customers, he forgot customers are always right

Lanitra Gamble

Good service and prices! Vacuums have great suction.

William Davis

Great deal... 16 bucks for a full service wash. Got mostly everything.

Daniel Perez

Cool place to wash your car.

Michelle Francis

Easy access to a quick wash. Takes longer to vacuum.

Christina Harris

My family and I have been coming here for years and have always left happy. The prices are great and the staff is always friendly. I know sometimes they can be very busy and in a rush and if the staff misses something I catch they don't argue and make a big fuss, they simply clean and double check the vehicle once again. I get my vehicle detailed cleaned completely every three months and I'm always surprised that they finish cleaning it in under an hour unlike other places I have gone where they take 2 hours. I also like that you have the option to be inside with large windows to see clearly outside or simply sit outside and enjoy the fresh air of the day allows it. The staff and service are the reason my family comes here and we shall continue too.

Annette B

I've been going to this carwash for years; but for some years now it's under a new owner... And the service is not like it use to be. Three weeks ago I went to get my regular wash on my Nissan Titan and my truck went off the track and it damaged my truck; I filled out and incident report and wanted to talk to someone but they said that the manager is on lunch break and he will call. I called him but he wouldn't talk to me and had one of his employees to tell me that he have to look at the video and he will call me. It's been 3 weeks now. Long story short; they didn't offer me a refund nor did they pay for the damages. Good thing I have it on video cause I would be screwed so I'm taking it to court and I have an attorney whose willing to take my case.. It's something illegal
