They did a great job with my car and they were really fast; I got a basic exterior/interior wash, 45 usd.
I came to Castro car wash to do detail. I got detail package for sedan car for $250. They really did an amazing job they made my car look like brand new. I will definitely come back
The best hand car wash. And I never have to wait long for my turn. They let me sit in the car each time too which is great. The workers clean every spot. Not me, but I’ve seen people get super ocd about small places that need extra cleaning and the workers cater to their needs.
I’ve given this place three tries now and every time it’s been the same song and dance- I ask for a simple interior and exterior wash and the female attendant tries to upsell me to a detailing. After a back and forth of me saying no no no and her coming up with excuses as to why I should pay for the detailing (the pressure is so obnoxious) I get just the basic interior exterior, and her customer service drops to zero. Doesn’t even look my way after the bill is paid. Mind you, it’s already an overpriced car wash at baseline, but the location is super convenient so I’m usually willing to put up with her rudeness. Well today I went in and said I think I’ll get a detailing- and she was ecstatic. After a moment reviewing the outrageous price I reneged and said actually it’s too expensive, just a normal interior and exterior wash please- to which she then refused! She made up some excuse that because I had some dog hair she wouldn’t let me get a BASIC interior cleaning (see attached pic for reference- basically a sprinkling of dog hair). This didn’t seem to be an issue the last two times! Apparently the loss of her upsell made her vindictive and petty, and she flat out said I also couldn’t even get any of the add ons with my exterior car wash. It was a basic exterior wash or full detailing, nothing in between. So add petty and vindictive to obnoxious and upsell-obsessed to her profile. I tipped the two cleaners in cash on top of my tip on my card and took a last look in the rear view mirror as I drove away. Save your money and your energy, get your car washed somewhere where the customer service is worth the up charge. Second star only because the actual employees washing the cars are friendly and efficient.
I recently paid $200 for a detailing service at this car wash, and I am extremely disappointed with the results. The quality of the wash was horrendous, both inside and out. The exterior still had visible dirt, and the interior was left looking worse than before, with stains and smudges that weren't there prior. It seems like they just used dirty rags to wipe down the interior, spreading the grime around rather than cleaning it. For the high price they charge, I expected a thorough and professional job, but what I got was far from it. I do not recommend this place if you're looking for quality detailing.
