Stars & Stripes Car Wash

I didn’t get to experience this self serve car wash place like everyone else who got the $ 12 service with actual people who wash your car for you. I got the real experience of self serve as in I put in the coins, I use the brush to wash, and I have to dry my own car. The facility is pretty clean and there’s quarter exchange machines as well as credit card machines. I wouldn’t come here super late at night cause the bugs will eat you alive.
It’s $ 3 to start and then you can put in as many quarters as needed to keep the meter going. Just pay attention to the beeping that alerts you when you have one minute left cause if it hits zero you have to start all over with $ 3 again. It’s a race against time! There’s directions on what order to do everything. The large spray hose gun works well. It acts as the bug spray, pre-​soak, high pressure soap and rinse. The pre-​soak doesn’t really do anything. Then there’s a foaming soap brush on the other side. The soap is very poor quality. It didn’t really get much dirt or grime off my car. The water spray helps but I had to use my own towel to scrub and clean off the dirty water. Overall, if you’re very good at washing your own car you might want to try it and it’s cheap. But be warned, their products are not very good.

This is the ONLY place I will go to get my car washed now. The first time I went I was confused of where to put my car since I am lazy as heck and love when someone else washes my little blue Honda (name: Cardis). Anyway, the people working at the very end told me where to put my car, and they got right to work! They HUSTLE! There were about 5 guys working on my car at once — and they make it absolutely pristine every.single.time I go. They do a great job. And the best part — it is ONLY $ 12! I always bring a $ 20 with me so they get an $ 8 tip (yes they are that awesome). You really can’t beat the price for the work they do.

I was so upset when I left home today to again find my car completely covered in bird poo. I hate my condo parking lot for that reason… Who plants so many trees in a parking lot?! Anyway pulled up to Stars & Stripes self-​service car wash just to rinse it off in order not to get paint damage with plans for a complete detailing later on in the week but was so pleasantly surprised to find an attendant who is just there to help service people with change and small stuff but ended up washing my entire car. Leery pre-​soaked, power washed, soaped it down — scrubbed it all, rinsed it off and wiped it down — oh wait — he also spray washed the mats and even had me open the trunk and vacuumed the leafs out of the grooves ALL FOR FREE!!! Half way thru all his work I asked him «what do you charge» and he said -” I don’t usually do this — I have them detail my car — I’m just doing you a favor!” What!?! What a guy! I couldn’t believe it. What a sweetie.
He also pointed out where I need to have the car deeply detailed and waxed where the bird poo has already stained the paint. :-(I didn’t even notice it until he showed me. For that reason, I’m coming back tomorrow to have Troy — the detailer do the work. What amazing customer service! They made a full-​time customer out of me — even though I have a similar car wash just 3 minutes from my condo
Leery rocks! (Of course I tipped him well) :-)

I got the full service and the guys do an amazing job! I highly recommend them! I mean $ 12 for inside and out you can’t beat that prize the job they do its worth more! So I always leave them a generous tip!

Cannot take my droptop through the reg carwash so i Unilocaled this place. SOOOOO glad i came. They take great care of your car/​jeep/​etc and are super nice. Bring a book or mag and/​or a charged phone and grab a seat and relax. Always crowded. Everyone else must’ve heard about the great job they do too! Well worth the wait. $ 12. Bring cash.

I knew about Stars & Stripes car wash from Unilocal — so thanks!!! If you are on a budget, this is seriously as good as it gets. I recently drove my car cross-​country and I’ve been to the beach, AND the car was full of dog hair. I don’t even know the last time the car was vacuumed. I was looking for «do it yourself» because the car was so filthy, I assumed I’d have to pay someone $ 100 to detail it. Troy and his crew are so fantastic, I was embarrassed that I only had $ 13.50 in my wallet, and I wanted to leave more than a dollar-​fifty tip.
I was literally astonished by how gorgeous my car looked when I left. I drive a soft-​top convertible and it needed to be washed by hand. If you need your car detailed by a caring crew who will take care of it like their own, go see Troy at Stars & Stripes Car Wash.
Bring cash — and bring extra to give them a tip. they work their butts off!

apparently we pulled into a stall that was for ‘detailing’ even though it did not solidify that, so we started washing our car and some guy came out and bitched at us, we explained that there is no sign that acknowledges that or else we wouldn’t have pulled in, he went off on us basically asking us to go somewhere else.
and thats what we did, won’t be coming here again. So much for self serve

I had not washed my car since August that’s 4 months ago my car is white it was filthy on the outside for 12 dollars my car looked brand new they take their time washing the car like 45 minutes its hand washed and pressured washed, so it not like other other car washes that go through automatic washer and then they dry it for $ 28! And a hand washed detailed is 50 dollars or more. I tipped the guy 8 dollars Bc it’s was so good I wouldn’t mine paying more because it’s hand washed I’ll be taking all my card here from now on I’m supper picky when it comes to car washes that charge +20 and it’s still dirty

I had great luck at this place! I was in and out in under 45 mins while three guys worked thoroughly on my car. I could wait in chairs in the shade, and was happy with the wash. I’ll certainly be back!

Great guys, fast service, affordable ($ 8) outside only and ($ 12) for inside and out. Went there and waited only for about 40min not even. The guys were really thorough and my car looks brand-​new! So nice I had to review this place :) sending my friends and family there!

Love this place.
It was my bday weekend and my car needed a good interior and exterior cleaning. I came here because I have a soft top convertible and I’m not taking my chances going through a car wash and needed a good hand job. Lol.
My baby was cleaned throughly and looked amazing for only $ 12.
Troy and his team are awesome.
Other notes:
–Cash only.
–I think they close around 6pm everyday.
–They are located in the back of Stars & Strips.
–Bring a book or something to keep you occupied while you wait.
–Waiting area is outside with a few chairs in the shade.
–Depending on how busy they are wait time may vary.

Great place for a wash. Hand wash for $ 12 for both in and out. Will be back, def good enough for my convertible. Would recommend. Located at back of stars and stripes lot. Actual place called Troy’s Detailing.

The right name is Troy’s auto detailing, 12 bucks small cars, but they take a very nice care of you, they’re in the same place of that «do it yourself» car wash…
It’s a hand wash, I’ve spend 20 but I got a big truck, nobody ever washed my truck like them…, it came out spotless very happy. I highly recommend !

Just moved into the area, I was looking for a good car wash. I live next door and figured I could spend my morning washing the car here. So I brought my car in on Saturday to wash it, I thought it was a little outrageous to pay 3 dollars for 3 minutes worth of wash. Especially considering that I take my time in this process so I would end up paying more than it was worth.
I looked to the very last bay and I read a sign however that changed my perspective. These guys were washing cars for 12 bucks, so before I proceeded to grab ANOTHER handful of change I decided to check them out. Boy am I glad i did! The owner’s name is Troy, they are there on a Saturday morning washing cars and they do an EXCELLENT job at it. Plus for the price, you truly cant beat that deal! My car was left spotless and the intricate attention to detail these guys have is amazing. I will be returning once a month as long as I am living in this area to wash both mine and my Fiancé’s cars!
