Magic Car Wash

I have been going to magic car wash for 17 years. I have watched the quality of service decline over the last couple of years. The prices have gone up and the quality of cleaning has gone down. When I voiced my opinion I got nothing but attitude from management. I went in today for a car wash and I was surprised that the 1795 carwash does not cover wiping down the door panels, seats, and cupholders. After paying $ 17.95, I left with Dusty interiors and spotty windows. The sad part is, after mentioning it to the supervisor who described himself as family of the owners, he explained to me that most of the dusty interiors were not included. I think it’s time to find a new car wash. I give them two stars for the hard-​working ladies that work hard cleaning cars.

Car wash was decent… didn’t clean the inside to well. I wouldn’t come back here. It was nearby so I drove in. Hopefully they clean the inside better for people than they did for me.

Just paid $ 50 for a detail inside and out and this is what the inside of my car looks like.

Best car wash place in Sacramento. Even though I don’t live near this area anymore I still drive here to get my car wash. They have a sup/​manager on the job that evaluate to make sure the staff does a good job cleaning and wiping down your car. Where ever you go try to skip Bubbles Car Wash & Detail, they are horrible. Come here instead.

I’d like to begin by saying that I’ve VERY rarely written a negative review. I came in today to get an interior vacuum and an exterior wash. This is my first time here so I wasn’t really sure how it worked. The attendant I spoke to was very brusque, and when I asked him if I could have the supreme exterior package and just add on vacuuming he said they don’t do that. I said what do you mean you don’t do that? I can’t just add on vacuuming to an exterior wash? He said, «Well, you can, but it’s pretty much the same as getting the full interior and exterior wash. It isn’t. The full interior and exterior would cost me an additional $ 16 and I just needed vacuuming (which I finally pried out of him-​$ 6). I decided to forego the vacuuming and just have the exterior washed.
My car sat at the front of the wash drying in the sun for about 2 – 3 minutes. (I wanted to dry it myself before it ended up with spots.) An attendant showed up and began drying it off. She did a quick door jamb wipe down. I didn’t expect that. Tire dressing-​I also didn’t expect. Nice. I popped the trunk so she could wipe the entire back bumper. Still a little spotty. I’ll have to go back over it at home.
All in all, I should have driven a little farther to go to a drive thru wash that would have cost me $ 9-​$ 10 less.
²⁄₅ for price $$$
³⁄₅ for overall cleaning
¹⁄₅ for customer care-​first guy was rude, inside attendant looked bored, final attendant who dried my car didn’t get all the soap off the inside driver’s window where they put your order on with a bar of soap. I had to point it out and ask to have it removed better.
So, an average of ²⁄₅ stars.
My advice? Go somewhere else.

Two times being here, I feel they do quality work. They’re pretty quick even when they’re busy and have plenty of seating areas while you wait. Fairly priced, too.

Took the Jetta in to get a wash and inside seats and carpet shampooed. Decided to get the headlights restored. They did a great job! Headlights look like new. The whole thing tool 3 hours. Still needs to dry a little bit more.
Didn’t get 5 stars because they didn’t clean inside the center console, didn’t clean close to the knobs so there’s a clean-​dirty line and forgot to give me my air freshener.

I got a groupon for basic wash and vacuum so I wasn’t going to complain, it was a good value. The first car wash experience was mediocre, I felt like my car was half vacuumed but it was okay– it was cheap. I was pretty confused on where to go my first time there & the staff made no gesture to talk to me, even while I was at the register. I had to initiate everything. I also noticed they did not wipe down one of my windows on the right side They forgot to wipe down one of my windows on the right side because there was a lot of water spots in that area. Second visit, I was more familiar with what to do but it was also busier. The staff and I did not exchange much words again, but I was in a rush when I got my car back but the first thing I thought is «they did good job this time since my passenger floor mat looks spotless» & I was on my way. The next day when I was cleaning the inside of my car, I realized my regular floor mat looked spotless because they removed the all weather floor mat that usually sits on top & it was missing on that one side.
I called them about it & the receptionist on the phone told me to come in and check out their floor mats they have. I went in to talk to the manager & It turns out that this was just new worker who misinformed me because they never have loose floor mats. The manager kept reiterating, «it’s not our policy to take out the floor mats when we vacuum.» He didn’t even apologize. It’s very easy to take out a floor mat to shake it first before vacuuming. Just because it’s not your policy doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. The manager did not resolve my issues or try to compensate in any way. My floor mats will no longer be a set :(

This is the place to get your car wash. They always do an excellent job. Workers are friendly the place is clean, they have free wii-​fi. The prices are fair. Overall this is the place to get ur car clean.

I have had my car done twice so far, I really like the quality of work they do, they do get busy. Which is understandable since they are good and affordable. I discovered them through groupon and I am glad I did. I would recommend them, but go early.

This place does great work at reasonable prices. We live much closer to Bubbles car wash but come here because their prices are better and they do a great job. They always have groupon deals which we buy all the time.

I saw another Groupon and decided to get one last wax job before the fall /​winter based on the last job that they did for me. Unfortunately the results were not the same. They assigned this greenhorn (male kid) to wax my car and it was a far cry from the first time I went there.
There were water spots and areas with wax that wasn’t rubbed into the paint.
Not sure if I’ll go back. I may just go to Harv’s I can count on them.

Came in today to wash my car… it’s been a while since I gave my car a good car wash and cleaning, so I decided to come here instead of wasting my own time and water — jk, I’m just really lazy :) ! So you drive all the way to the back, pick which package/​scent you want (I like the jasmine scent), the guy gives you a paper, you walk to the front to pay, and you sit, and when it’s ready they will shout the model of your car and wave your keys. Recommend you to clear out any belongings before coming here! This place charges a $ 2 to $ 6 extra if you have a big car. Prices here are okay, but I think it went up since the last time I came here, which was almost 2 yrs ago. There are different car wash packages ranging from $ 17.99 — $ 34.99++ and additional fees if you add any other services. Service is quite fast, probably took 20ish minutes — Came around 11:30am, but cars started pulling in soon after, so it can take longer if you come when it’s busy! I like that I am able to see what they are doing to my car at all times, so I don’t have to worry. The quality of the wash and cleaning was pretty good, but they missed a few spots vaccuming and left some fingerprints and shoeprints. Overall, it’s a good place to come if your car is super dirty and they do a good job cleaning interior and exterior of the car — just check your car before you leave to make sure it’s clean and got what you paid for :) There’s plenty of seating inside and outside while you wait and free wifi and they sell chips, candy, and other snacks inside & some car accessories.
If you plan on coming here a lot to was your car, make sure to get a stamp card for buy 8 washes, get the 9^th free… and there’s a buy 3 washes in advance, get the 4^th wash free :) Also, there may be a Groupon deal too!

Wtf man! I been coming here for the longest time and today my outlook to this place totally changed! I bought a groupon for a wax job and they did a shitty job! And to top it off when i got home i noticed that they spilled windex on my seat i called them and told them they had me bring the car back and the manager had the nerve to tell me that the window seals were damage he said that the water got im from the window. Before he could finish talking i told him to smell the seat because that smelled like windex to me, he then got quiet and said «oh» never once apologized or even offered a free car wash or at least a car smell. All i know is that he lost 2 customers. If u guys buy the groupon deal just know that they will do a shitty job. Or atleast thats what it seemed like to me. Never again will i come back to this place!!!

I got the Groupon here and they would make a lot more money if they improved the customer service. I’ve been here 4 times and I can’t complain about the wash but when you check your car in the short African man or the slender Indian man have been very rude. Trying to sell you products when they are so mean. Some suggestions for these RUDE people would be «How are you ?“or would you like us to show you some other services for your vehicle? These are just some examples of what they could say but maybe they don’t plan on keeping customers.

This review would have been 5 stars because my car looked so great and still looks pretty good except for one thing. When they were putting the shiny stuff on my dash board and black interior they rubbed it on the roof top above my driver side head area and stained it. I don’t know if it will come out.

I’ve been here half a dozen times thanks to Groupon. This place is better than Gem car wash around the corner. The drying process can be real slow, but I understand and it’s hot outside! Overall good value and good job paying attention to details like the door jams! Go get your car washed here!

$ 40 for three car washes which include a nice wax job, interior vacuuming, and a tire dressing is definitely worth it in my book! Purchased Magic Car Wash’s Groupon not too long ago and I don’t regret a single dime spent! If I had to pay full price that would be a different story but $ 13.33/wash is literally a STEAL!!! (They also have a $ 30 for three car wash deal which doesn’t include waxing or tire dressing – In my opinion, spend the extra $ 10!)
Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn’t too busy! Altogether, I waited around 15 – 20 minutes max for them to clean my car. This isn’t the greatest car wash I’ve ever had, mind you, but those wanting a quick in-​and-​out job this is the place to go!
You first pull up to the vacuuming station where one of the workers asks you which wash you wish to buy. He’ll try his best to persuade you to spend more money (i.e. buy add-​ons to your wash, choose a «better» aka more expensive wax to preserve your paint, etc.) but just stick to your original game plan and kindly tell him you have a Groupon and don’t want to spend any more than you already have. The first time I purchased this Groupon I did the $ ³⁰⁄₃ washes and got hustled into upgrading $ 6 more (per wash) to add-​on their tire dressing services! :(He’s a REALLY GOOD SALES PERSON!!! I ALMOST paid an additional $ 3 for a wax job too, but, I resisted and ended up only giving in to the extra $ 6.
For overall cleaning of my car’s interior, I give them a ²⁄₅. I saw them spend a total of five minutes vacuuming my carpets and seats. They wiped down my dash, steering wheel, and radio area but it wasn’t exceptionally clean. Then again, what do you expect for a $ 13 car wash.
For the actual car wash itself, they hand-​dry your car after it comes out of the wash so it looks nice and shiny! I’d rate it a ⁴⁄₅! Before getting this wash, I had neglected my car for months and, after having it washed, it looked spankin brand new!
The tire dressing wasn’t worth $ 6 alone since my rims were still a bit dirty but they did a decent job– 2.5−3÷5. I also opted for their strawberry air freshener which was very fragrant the first three to four days then completely dissipates. (I think they use a spray bottle with scented water/​oil because I don’t see an actual air freshener in my car) Either way, it smelled nice while it lasted!
Workers are all very friendly and, if you’re using their Groupon, they give you two passes for your remaining washes which expire in 120 days.
There is an indoor waiting area where they have several tables set up for those who wish to watch their car go through the wash. They also sell random car trinkets in the main office where you pay. Not located in the safest neighborhood but, since you’re only waiting 20 minutes or so, you’ll survive.

Thank you, Sacramento rains, for being just heavy enough to make my car dirtier than it was before.
This has quickly become my favorite place to get my car washed if I don’t want to do it myself. The prices are reasonable and the employees here do a great job. I’ve always had the same man greet me to ask me which services I want and he’s never been pushy with his suggestions.
I highly recommend coming in early if you can because it gets pretty busy later in the day. I’ve been in and out in 30 minutes before because I came around 10 am!
They also have loyalty cards that award you a free wash after so many paid. I think it’s 1 free wash after 9 paid ones.
They also occasionally have Groupon deals so look out for those!

I used to come here religiously because it was the only car wash (actual car wash not diy gas station bs) I knew about near me. I moved and went to a few «car washes» paid similar prices (40 – 99) and was amazingly disappointed so much I went and got one of those monthly discounts for a diy one. I basically just gave up.
Well I happened to be In the area and in need of a wash so I went in to see if they were as good as I remembered.
And you know what… they are. Honestly if you live in the sacto area this is the spot you want to get your car washed at. It’s a decent price and the job they do is fantastic. I always get the managers special. It’s the business I swear. So much so I’m going to cancel my crappy subscription and get my car washed by these folks from now on… even if it is a bit of a drive
