Reviews of Splash-n-Dash Car Wash (Car Wash)

Joshua Lloyd

I really like this wash, as the self-service types can be hard to find in Portland. However, there is a 3$ minimum to start the wands. Really? Should be a dollar.

David Conklin

Usually really clean, machines take credit cards and are rarely broken. Equipment is well maintained... If you desire an actually clean car that automatics won't achieve, come here and foam brush your ride and top it off with some wax & spotless rinse!

Abdul Ambon

This place could a little fix

Jonathon Brearley

Emrah Gonulkirmaz

samantha herrera

Liked to see that they do have staff and emptied the garage

Jordan Paplow

Nothing fancy, gets the job done.

Great service. Owner is often there and is very and willing to help with change, etc.

Ronnie Lewis

Watch out for cars driving through the wrong way

2 out of 4!times I have washed my car, the owner comes up to me and tries to rush me washing my car for the next person. He lets people come backwards in the wash dome and then rushes me. Both times I have been the only person of ethnicity at the car wash. Very tired of being treated like I’m not welcome. Rather pay washman more than deal with being targeted and treated unfair!

If I could give more stars I would. The owner of this car wash is a 100% gentleman. We accidentally lost something of tremendous value to us on premise and he worked persistently to find us and return our property. What a winner he is!! But even more, the shop is exactly what you'd need in a self serve car wash. It's always clean, economical, well-maintained and very convenient for those passing through North/NE Portland.

Sha-Kana Williams

Get it done in one place. Very convenient!

Samir Yunusbaev

Just a car wash. A little bit dodgy in the evening

Reine

Huge line on a Sunday and confusing as all get out to determine the entrance, I circled the block trying to. Sketchy neighborhood.

Darryl Tang

One of the best wash bays in the pdx area. Never had any issues with weak pressure or diluted/unfilled wash additives. For those with credit card issues. It will authorize a charge of $10 but when the charge posts it will be for the correct amount. Make sure you press the button on the card swiper when your done to stop the timer.

Ian M

The facilities are good, but we are approached and harassed throughout the experience by a particular man who says he has run out of food stamps and has 2 daughters to feed. He’s told us this on a few occasions. It has progressed into him standing next to me during the wash and approaching my girlfriend from behind. I had to ask him to leave multiple times. We’ll be going somewhere else.

Deborah Schultz

Favorite do it yourself car wash

Michael Hockinson

Okay for a quick wash if all you need to do is rinse off the road film.

Bryan M

Hey Ben, I think you checked your bank account too quickly. The CC system pre-authorizes $10 and then settles for the actual amount within two hours. I don't think anyone is trying to do you in here. If that is truly the case then perhaps you could retract your comment. Take care, B

If you need to shampoo your car DONT TRY HERE. The shampooer barely works and the vacuum attached to the same machine doesn't work. So your S.O.L. and put $3

Holli Conklin

Kind of dirty,not very friendly staff

Jenna Ryan

The Vacuum and Shampooer are great, but time is pretty limited. Got my compact sedan done in 2 rounds of each.

Daniel Patterson

Ok .not cheep and no engine cleaner .

Vasyliy Melnyk

By far the best car wash in Portland in my opinion. I've been to a few others and non compare to this. It's pricey but worth it in my opinion.

Kevin Gillespie

Good self-spray!

Natasha Young

Love this self service car wash

tangodown86

Love this spot, keeps me shining

Ian Applegate

Good price, everything you need, pretty crappy location though

Antonio Carlos Bacci di Capaci Fiallos

Great place if you like hand washing your car

John T

Long time manager keeps place nice.

Willie Norris

Clean

Myrah Wever-Jenkins

I will never come here again. I washed my car for the allotted 4 minutes for $3, and after I was done it said $3 charged on your card. When I got home, they had charged NOT $3 BUT $10 TO MY CARD. I am extremely disappointed!!!!

Richard Butler

Hey my cars clean, sooo.

Jonathan Gaag

Owner/managers smoke cigars while maintaining property and all employees were smoki menu cigars last visit. I've been often and this will be my last. The cigar smoke filled the wash bay I was in with no breeze that fay while I was washing car. Then the manager/owner tells me to hurry up and leave if there is someone behind you while I was wiping down car (even before someone was there). Very rude, inconsiderate for people who have smoke allergies and I will never return after this and previous unfriendly experiences.

Jameson Semrau

Seriously I dont understand how cleaning my car caused me to be covered in grime. I wasnt rubbing up on my dirty car or rolling on the ground?? I only used the equipment provided. This place was more expensive than Kiss Car Wash and I had to do all the work. I mean, thats the point of a self service car wash, but I figured the price would at least be the same as the drive through wash, not more expensive. Honestly I would've given one star, but I figured that A) I don't go to these places that often, maybe theyre all dirty af and B) its not like my car isnt clean. It is. But its level of cleanliness is not worth what I paid.

Bran

High soak SOAP had no soap coming out. So after messing around for 2 minutes trying to get soap to come out, now I'm paying for another 4 minutes to simply spray my car with water. So $6 for a water wash. Thanks.

Curtis Walker

Washed for over 10 minutes and charged $6.50, better than back in my home state and no issues with using credit card. Brushes could be a tad better but the water gun takes care of most things. I prefer the do-it-yourself options rather than automatic or someone else - no worries about a mirror getting taken off.

Keenan Browe

Vacuums work well but can only reach into so many spaces with their one, broad suction heads. As for the actual wash, the water pressure has been pretty inconsistent between bays and even in the same bay across multiple visits. Overall it's worth it but still frustrating.

Parker Emerson

Vacuum is kinda weake in my opinion, but it get the job done. Fair for the price of self service. Would consider going back if I were close.

david austin

Did the job... But took $5 ...

Vin Vega

This unassuming self serve car wash is all business: get in, wash the bird poop off, get out! Vacuums, multi setting sprayers and foam brushes in each of the bays, why go to those scary gas station hell ride car washes ever again? Accepts credit cards.

Nick Kintigh

Cheap

Jeremy Fezz check out my IG: kaptain_kropdust

Not a lot to say it's a self serve car wash. You'll probably encounter interesting people asking for help.

Loisi Penitoa

Love. It here.

Eustace or stacey Dean Dixon

Stranger things go on here

rrrrrrromero

Ghetto place that uses tape to "fix" holes in hose. More soap came out of the hose than out of the brush. The $4 i put in were wasted as all The soap leaked out. I couldn't find any signs with a number or way to get a refund. Avoid this place.

Oliver Smith

A good car wash with convenient credit card readers if you don't have cash. Seems to be well maintained.

Evident

I like that you can pay with credit card here, but they don't have staff on duty at most times (just a number to call) and trash always stinks enough to make you sick.

D K

Brush was essentially useless. 2 rounds with my CC cost $10 each I found out later. both charges have cleared, did not receive a "refund" or adjustment as indicated by some other comments. I was expecting the advertised cost of $4.75? per cycle. not seeing any signage, I presumed there was probably a convenience fee for using a credit card - maybe a dollar? I didn't expect a $5.25 upcharge. There is no signage regarding a minimum $10 per cycle credit card charge, or really any signage around the machines at all about the credit card usage or terms. nor is there any pricing or information on the web site. I have very good vision but the displays on the machines are so scratched and dirty that you cant tell at all what the display says, and it flashes by quickly too. I'll not ever wash here again unless these issues are addressed, and I'll recommend the same to others.

Radford Dickson

Give more time. The time they give us a little unrealistic for the money

Jerel Richardson

Wow! I can't say enough good things about this car wash. The owner is always there, keeps the place very clean, does not let people just hang out, and keeps everything running smoothly. Today I vacuumed my car then left in a rush. I got a call from the owner; he had found my wallet and wanted to make sure I got it back. We made arrangements to meet at the car wash and he returned it back to me,;no problem. All I have to say is THANK YOU and keep up the good work.

will mick

Good god. I love pull up car wash places. Beat it if you can't wash your own car. Also, bring cash.

Phillip Deweese

Wash your car an be done

Oddesa Jay

Always crowded, most of their equipment doesn't work. Not to mention its way to expensive!

D O

prices not too steep.

Jeff Poore

Self service wash that does take credit cards. Used the wash only and it worked without issue.

Maureen Hamilton

Great vacuums.

frank erck

Gets the job done, tokens only.

Martin Stoyanov

Good wash, prices are decent but can get sketchy at night. Don't use the brushes but that applies to all coin op car washes. Can use two buckets if people aren't waiting.

Greg Lehman

There's not many of these do it yourself places left. Great for motorcycles.

Arc Riley

Credit cards accepted for basic wash, but not other services like the vacuum cleaners.

Tim Neighbors

It's fine, but as is common at these kind of car washes, the time allotted to wash is nowhere near long enough for a human to wash a car.

GregoryD Emswiler

Have never been

Nikolai Serban

Ill equipped. Lacks stock in vending. Not great. Vacumes work well.

Sascha O.O

Generally empty during the week. Reasonable vacuum rates and standard wash bay rates. Change machine on site but bring your own quarters to avoid hassle. Not a lot of room so large extended cab trucks should try elsewhere on busy weekends.

Ben

Do not use your credit card here. You'll get charged WAY more than just going down to get it all done automatically. I was charged $10 for 5 minutes of use. Absurd.

Abdeel Ben Israel

No Les than $2.00 to start. So bring exact change because its token operated with no coin exchange.

Debra Irby

good service and quick

Bob N

Self service, power wash stalls with a powerful vacuum cleaner before you enter each washing stall. The power wash has about 8 different settings. There's also a separate long handled soft brush, attached to a hose so it foams while you're scrubbing tougher dirt and splattered bugs. Reasonably priced, a small/midsize car can probably be vacuumed and washed for $10.00 or less. As opposed to $20.00+ at other car washes.

Matthew Moore

I didn't realize, but the way this place works for cards is that there a $10 charge and then money is refunded back. Still, the scrubbers aren't preferable, but seems to work for most people. Phone guy was nice and clear, so that's cool.

Errol Smith

wax on, wax off.

Dragos Seghete

My go to car wash place because it takes credit.

Desiree Marie

I use this all the time & it's always stocked with their items they sell in the vending machines. Decent prices too.

LaRaina Sanchez

I like to wash my own car

Nate Vega

Prices are uncompetitive, the soap smelled like dirty fish water, and the car looked the same after we prewashed it, washed it, and did it again! Stay away from this self-service car wash - no dollar to quarter machine on site - so stock up on them, it takes no other form of change!

Pierre Osborne

Easy to use for self cleaning of automobiles, excellent staff and very reasonable prices. Thanks going out to the staff for all that they do for thier customers.

Scott Mckay

I like this place

Alex B

This wash is set up like a scam. I used my CC and it counted down from $3:54, it says to add quarters for more time, and but ate them all happily without adding any time. Time and money is wasting away, so I pressed the button on the CC reader, which on every other wash I've used adds 25 cents to the timer. Instead, it ended the wash! $4 eaten within 30 seconds... I swiped my card again, and now it's counting up. I'm really confused because now it's totally backwards. After my wash I used the spot-free rinse, and while rinsing the top it switched to what appeared and smelled to be degreaser soap. Now my just-rinsed car is covered in wax stripper, I lost probably $5 just from that counter-productive "rinse" that took several more minutes to rinse off. The jumbled fine print says it automatically shuts off at $10 which is what I waited for but when I checked the machine it was at 12 minutes! All in all I paid probably $15 for what should have been a $4 wash. This place is set up to scam you, be aware.

Tommy Roche

This car wash uses coins or card to pay for the time you wash your car and that's super convenient! The stop button on the card reader was broken so it charged me the maximum amount of time, the owner was there quickly to resolve the problem and refunded me a full car wash. Awesome customer service and a clean car wash!

Kyle Pearse

What you'd expect of a self serve car wash

Corey Anson

Not a big flashy car wash, just the basics for knocking dirt off your car. You can use a credit card to pay for your time.

Doodbroman E

Not enough pressure Timers are short

Jessie Boster

Getting it

Yuriy K

Better than express wash and cheaper. Recommended!
