LA Express Car Wash

Staffs here are very helpful and friendly. I do really recommend this place to friends and family.

This place is usually ok. Not today! Went thru wash and it was not working. The employees treated me like it was my fault. The child waving cars in is stoned or asleep miss directing me and causing me to scrape my wheels. Never coming back. Come on neighbors. Let’s boycott this place until it’s replaced by better management or gone all together.

Wish it was closer to where I live. had good experiences every time I bring my baby Benz here for the Supreme bath :).

It’s not a perfect wash, but for $ 6 I’m very happy. I had considered doing the hand wash thing because driving to LA Express, I saw a sign that said $ 9 hand wash at another place. And maybe you could do $ 15-​$ 20 for better hand wash. But I figured, I just wanted my car cleaner than it was and LA Express is totally fine for that. The best part is the free vacuum. It beats having to pay a machine $ 1 a pop only to have time run out and feel like in a hurry.
Yes it’s true the car wasn’t completely dry coming out. But it’s fine for me.
There are several places you can wash it yourself, but not sure really the cost is gonna be much less than $ 6. If it ends up costing any more than $ 6 to do it yourself just come here to the LA one. I can imagine though if the place is busy it’s not that great. When I went there were no people and I was pretty satisfied. I have no option to wash my car at home. My car is a little 2013 Honda Fit, so for me, I just want a simple clean. I think if someone has a nice car like a BMW or Ferrari or something, just do the hand wash thing, but likely if you have a luxury car, it’s no big thing to spend $ 50 on a really good hand wash.
For $ 6, I’m satisfied.

Fast and easy. But the car is still wet after you exit the wash and there is no one to vacuum clean your car from inside and do the rest for you. So if you are eager and properly dressed to do all that yourself then it’s a good spot to have your car washed. They offer free vacuums (they are not powerful at all) and you can purchase $ 2 towels to dry off your car. I would go there again when I need fast and not necessarily perfect car wash.

I come here pretty often because I don’t like spending over $ 10 on car washes that the car wash people clean the car for you, but it seems like this car wash doesn’t really clean the car like before. Especially as you exit the wash, the dryer used to dry the car effectively, but now after you exit, there’s water everywhere.
Plus yesterday, there were 2 people as you enter the car wash, but the guy on the right didn’t even bother folding my side mirror.
What’s worse is that yesterday morning, I forgot to put my floor mat back into my car after I vacuumed it and left it on the floor mat holder. I didn’t realize it until I finished work at 4pm. I went back to see if someone had turned it in, but of course, someone who found it probably took it. Not the car wash’s fault, but remember to check if you leave your floor mat before you leave.

Fast! Easy & cheap car wash, I always come here on my way to trader joes when doing all my errands. Love that they let you use the vaccums and there pretty strong, I haven’t had any bad experiences here. Except try to avoid going in the morning. You’ll wait in a 15 – 20 min car line

I’ve come here for years… it’s always quick, easy, and convenient.
Highly recommend this place for a semi DIY job. They do the outside, you focus on the inside.

I love this car wash. Its convinient & quick. Free vacuums.
Actually its the best aitomated car wash in SoCal.
I wish they were open longer hours.

If you want a low price car wash that cleans your car just enough to make it not completely dirty, this is your spot. I have used it twice now and each time there still dirt left on the back side and bugs on the windshield. This time my mirrors were 100% covered in soap at the end. The people who spray you before you go in are obviously unsupervised and therefore lazy. Barely sprayed my car and there were 2 guys standing there doing absolutely nothing.
You get what you pay for. Could have a better rinse at the end and stronger dryers. Better employees as well and I would return.

I’ve come here about 5 times because it’s easy, never had a great wash though– some reason it just doesn’t really get clean. Today I got the «supreme» wash that is suppose to clean and scrub it the best! I had spots and marks all over going in the wash and coming out… The same crap, I’m not sure how, it’s as if nothing touched my car. Total BS hate to say it but the dude that wets the car and is suppose to scrub a bit before it enters apparently just didn’t feel like it today. He kinda hosed one side and then sent me through So LAZY !! It’s one of those places that months ago it was alright but now that it’s busy it’s gone downhill.

I’ve gone here about 2 – 3 times as a newbie to LA this seemed to be one of the closest car washes to me in a decent area. Getting to the entrance can be a bit tricky and the wash itself is good.
The only thing about this place that gives me heartache is the vacuums. They are free but they aren’t very strong and I’m used to strong vacuums so it can take awhile to get my entire car done.
Outside of that its a pretty decent, inexpensive place to get a car wash.

My first time here. No frills and quick in and out.
I signed up for an unlimited month for $ 39.95 which will totally pay for itself as I get my car washed a lot and usually spend around $ 20. They put a barcode sticker on your windshield so the machine recognizes you when you enter. You can pay for one month or they will charge your card monthly with no commitment, end it at anytime.
Plenty of spaces to park and use their vacuums.
When I told an employee it was my first time he was super helpful and informative.
You do have to dry your car yourself so bring a towel and some windex even though my car was pretty clean and dry after the wash. I clean all the mirrors and windows on my car every other day practically so no biggie for me.
With my Deluxe package someone does come and polish your wheels and tires.
This isn’t for you if you want someone else to do all of the drying and polishing.
There are vending machines with drinks, glass cleaner, towels, chamois, leather wipes and air fresheners.
The only reason I rated 4 stars is because it’s the first time. I’ll change it to a 5 maybe after my first month.

Cool place but like Karl said only one person scrubs your car before entering so the other side doesn’t get washed. I saw the car in front of me get both side but then it was my turn oh darn he moved to do something. I think this place needs one more staff member. The vacuum needs to have more power or maybe I just went to a broken one.
Other than those problems it’s cool you get to stay inside and watch. Kids loved it. The time I went was super busy but found a place to vacuum.
$ 6.00 basic clean! Make sure you bring your towels to wipe it down and window cleaner.

Best car wash ever!!! Clean facility, friendly staff, and free vacuum use with a car wash! I’m going to be a regular! :)

There is no consistency of service at this place. Sometimes the guys who give your car a once over before you go through the wash do a good job and sometimes it’s one guy who does a half assed job. Also there are machines that dispense cleaning materials have been unable to except credit cards since I started going to this place. Somebody needs to fix those things. Only reason I go to this place is because the vacuums are free and it’s local. If I find a better place, I’ll never look back

It serves its purpose. I laugh when I read all the ½ star reviews bitching about stuff as if it were a $ 50 car wash. You pay for what you get. And at $ 6 I can’t complain.
I try to come early to avoid the douche nozzles that come and try to show off their whips (ummm a Nissan Altima is not pimp) dressed in wife beaters and basketball shorts.
Before 9am you’ll find smiling older ladies who will share the vacuum with you ;)

It’s all about convenience in LA and this car wash hits the mark on convenience. I was bummed when they tore down a similar car wash in the Glendale area across Glendale Memorial, so when this opened up, my eyes glistened as bright as my headlights (on my car).
The drive thru wash takes cash OR credit/​ATM (yes! ATM) for those who hardly carry cash (guilty). Once you pay the machine, the entrance bar will lift and allow you to enter when it’s your turn. There are three entrances to the wash, so you can choose the shorter line as you wish.
The wash does a fairly decent job. If you’re like me, I don’t wash my car as often as I should, so don’t be surprised if some residue is left on the side of your car. I don’t normally keep towels in my car, so it’s a good idea to do so if you plan to come.
They provide free self-​vacuum. Don’t be a vacuum hog. Just do your thing, and go! No need to start self-​detailing your car here, please!
Enjoy, keep it clean, reuse and save water.

I went here yesterday morning and it was not that busy which is I like.
This is the drive in carwash
They have a lot of options and the price is not that expensive.
I got the basic which is $ 6 and to be honest it was not that bad.
My car wasn’t that dry but it’s ok.
Then the vacuum was unlimited time but when it get busy we need to give way to others too.
I like this place a lot.
The people here are really nice.
I will be your everyday customer!

So surprisingly it’s been about a week since I’ve been here to wash my beloved Suki. But due to an unfortunate event… haven’t had the time. Wellllllll while I’ve been away, they upgraded a couple of things in their already pretty nice facility. The signs inside the wash indicating which car wash each customer bought has been replaced with a much nicer, brighter sign. And although I’m not 100% positive, I’m pretty sure the actual wash has been upgraded because this time around I barely needed to use my micro fiber towel.
Like i said in my original review, I still stand by what I said: the customer service here is great. I’ve been to «higher end» washes where they do everything for you and paid like $ 20! Just to have to figure out how I can nicely ask to something or dry without them glaring at me. And you can’t forget the tip, on top of paying the premium, I also have to tip, even if I’m not completely happy with the service… I may be a lot of things but rude is not one of them lol. I still tip the minimum 15%.
Big shout out to the manager Aldo and his entire amazinG staff. But Albert & Johnny have s special place in my heart! Love this place!!!
