Genie Car Wash Oil & Detail

Look, I’m not fancy. I’m not rich. My car needs an oil change. It takes 6.5 quarts and it is done in 10 minutes for $ 33. They even throw in a free car wash. I can’t complain.

Worst service ever and the wash is Just OK. The man the gives the tickets went in a back and forth argument with my mother, when we told the manager she sided with him without so much as an apology. Terrible service, they won’t be getting my busy again.

This place is mediocre at best compared to the other two locations. They seem to operate differently, no electronic rewards card, no cash back etc. they need to update their system and coordinate better with the other car washes and look at how they do business. I won’t be returning

With limited selection of car washes throughout San Diego. This is my go to carwash. I always have a coupon for $ 8.99 full service wash. My 3 year old prefers the drive through washes but then I’d have to vacuum the car myself. It’s not amazing but gets be job done

I like this location better than the Point Loma one since it’s less busy, I get in and out faster and can move on with my day. Woman at the front desk was very sweet. I also appreciate how I’m not pressured to upgrade to services I don’t need. $ 35 gets you a car wash & oil change… can’t beat it.

2 stars due to the front desk lady. The car wash itself is pretty clean.
Do not come to this location.
I have an Elite california express VIP card and the Genie ad (yes, their own ad) clearly states that Elite VIP gets you 3 deluxe car washes. First, the middle aged lady at the front doesn’t have any idea what this card is when I hand it to her. Next, when I show her the ad, she starts getting upset and saying she doesn’t trust this card.
I’m showing her that the company who she works for, genie car wash, paid to advertise in this book, for people like me, to pay to use the discounts on the card.
She becomes irate. Thirty minutes of arguing pass and finally she gives me a stamp card.
Service, people. Please put someone who knows what they’re doing in front.

Came here for a quick wash because I was crunched for time on my way to a car show. Due hassled me for about 10 mins after I told him I wanted a $ 12 dollar car wash. Don’t know what he didn’t understand about I want a quick wash! Not fond of these types of places anyways so it’s safe to say I will not be returning here.

I’ve been a customer here for a few years but no more. One reason is they keep overfilling my crankcase with oil. I’ve told them about it a few times and they seem to always forget. I usually take the extra oil out myself at home. The other reason is they got my hood stuck somehow. I couldn’t open it! After about a half hour and some blisters I got it open. They must of slammed it hard after my last oil change. The last reason is my sons car was taken here for a oxygen sensor replacement and somehow they screwed up his cars computer system. His car drove 10 miles per hour and the RPM’s were really high at idle. It wasn’t worth fixing it as it would of cost several hundred dollars to fix, perhaps a thousand or two. So he just decided to buy a new car. Avoid doing work here as they do a crappy job. Don’t waste your time here anymore.

Been coming here since 2009 for oil change and car wash. They’ve always treated me right.

For me and my household Genie gets a 5

This place was just okay. I expected it to be a little better since my sister has told me some good reviews. But I shouldn’t be surprised, since it’s in a somewhat scary location.
The service was quick. They try to hustle you though and tell you they would give you discount if you purchase more. I just got my car washed and vacuumed. It probably took about 10 – 15 minutes to finish my car. The inside of my car smelled good when they finished but they missed a few spots on the outside, which wasn’t too bad.
Overall, it was a decent experience. $ 12 for the wash and vacuuming. They also give you a coupon for some discounts for the next wash.

I work nearby and I have always been satisfied with the job they do here and the price that they charge. Personally, I have had nothing by outstanding customer service, so I am a bit surprised at some of the comments. They always spend quite a bit of time drying the car and cleaning the insides, which I really appreciate. Solid car wash joint!

If it wasn’t because of the groupon I got a long time ago, which had already expired by the way because I am sometimes not too on top of what I bought… I would never come here on my own for full price.
The staff was not particularly friendly either. I showed her my expired Groupon. Even though it’s expired, the money I paid for never expires, and I had to spend some time arguing with the lady. She finally gave me 2 car washes for the money I spent.
Seriously, when I came here the first time, I was thinking, «Will I get robbed? Will I hear gun shots? Will my car be fine? Well probably because who would steal a base model 13 year old car?» Wow this is DA HOOD.
There’s an indoor place with tables and chairs to hang out, next to the cashier, but it’s so run down like you’re back in the 70s. Historical landmark? It was quite an experience though.
The exterior wash was ok, but the interior cleaning was lousy. I still saw dust and strands of hair between the seats where my gear box is.
There’s no way I’ll come back again if it wasn’t for the Groupon…

If your car is dirty and you need a quick wash this is the spot for you.
Genie offers several car wash services the more you want the higher the cost.
The basic wash and dry is really inexpensive.
They have two wait areas one outside and one inside. The inside one has a couple of tables and chairs for your comfortable.
As for me I like to watch the cars go through the car wash cycle which I can view from the inside back walk area.
Takes about 10 minutes start to finish for the basic car wash and the staff do a pretty good job drying off your car.
I like going here because I would rather they do it than me.

Great service, my car was shining when I left, the good thing is it on my way to work.

Do not come here!!! This place is way to slow. This is my second time here and now I remember why I didn’t bother coming back the first time. Come on Genie Car wash and get it together.

Got here 9:15…it’s now 9:52 and I’m still waiting. Got the oil change car wash deal which was a good price with a coupon. I was the only car here when I arrived. The oil change took 10 mins so those guys are on point, the car wash guys are slow as snails, no sense of urgency. I’m not sure about you but waiting over 30 mins for a car wash seems extreme. There are now seven cars waiting to be dried (they put them through an electric car wash line so I know that’s not the hold up). Throw me a towel and let’s move this party along!

I have come here a few times for oil service and that comes with a free car wash. I thought, car wash, they send it through the machine and voila. Nay! Full service, vacuum, dried, they shammied it. It looks NICE! I was amazed to see only 2.5 stars. Haven’t read the reviews yet but they obviously do not pertain to my needs.

They always take care of me here hehehe! Good service & FREE car wash with oil change.

This is the 4^th time i come here and for $ 12 they do a descent job. Everytime i have been here they try to upsale me for a supposely deal for $ 40 and i always say no and he keeps pushing it and finally i decided to try it out and i saw no difference.
First the guy didnt clean all of the light he said if he did it too close, it will damage my car’s paint. Thanks but hey shouldve said that when they sold me the package that only go about 1 ½ in from the car so now my lights look wierd.
Second, the package included interior detail shine and of course vacumm. My cup holder had a bit of residue from my morning coffee. THEY DIDNT EVEN ATTEMP TO CLEAN IT! I came home and wiped it off with windex.
Third, vacumm? Half assed job. Right next to the passanger seat there was still stuff that easily couldve been vacummd. They usually vacumm my trunk and this time, nope! I was very dissapointed and would never pay for that $ 40 wash that i saw no difference in from the $ 12 one.
Probably sticking to pony express next time, way cheaper and friendlier staff that dont try to shove a $ 40 rip off down your throat.
