In theory, a Costco car wash sounds like a great idea — and at $7.99 for a “premium” wash, it feels like it should be a solid value. The operation itself is efficient: the lines were long, but they moved at a pretty good pace. The two attendants were working hard — one managing tickets and payments (even running transactions for customers who hadn’t prepaid) and the other guiding cars smoothly into the automated wash. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The actual wash was very underwhelming. My car wasn’t that dirty to begin with, yet there was still a noticeable amount of dirt left behind, and several areas were missed entirely. For a premium wash, the end result just didn’t cut it. Usually Costco services are top-notch, which makes this even more disappointing. In this case, it felt like a waste of $7.99. Not recommended unless quality improves.
Does not clean the car as well as brown bear, leaves large visible dirty spots.
Really good car wash, good price. It does normal newish wash, wax and under carriage which is great for winter, rinse off salt during winter that may accumulate. I've been using it for years and didn't scratch my paint.
For $8.33 it’s almost fantastic. “Extras” include wax, wheels, and under car wash with rust inhibitor, ceramic protective coating. Hmm, maybe it is a five star…but two negatives are long lines and missed or poorly washed parts. One pic shows missed area by front passenger door and the other a poorly washed windshield.
Not worth even the low price. Still had a ton of dirt and bugs on my car after. Called to ask about a refund, said I had to go in. I don’t usually go to this Costco so I went in to my usual one and they said I’d have to go back to the exact Costco to get the refund. Super crappy customer service.
