McCarthy Ranch Car Wash

I have been going here for few years now. initially. they were great and i was very happy. But these days they do a OK job. They recently bumped up the prices and I feel I pay too much for the service I get.

Just wanted the exterior or my car washed and seems like they just sprayed water on it and did an «attempt» to dry it, but most of all there is a big scratch on the front driver side rim of my new car and get some bs that it could have been there before I got to the wash, DO NOT COME HERE!!!

AVOID THIS PLACE! Please heed the warnings of this review and other posted before. I should have listened.
I paid around $ 50 for the «VIP hand wash» and my car was left with dirty black spots and sticky residue in the interior of my car. Overall, the wash took about 20 minutes. Very disappointed! See pictures for proof!

Asians who can barely speak English just standing around your car, wiping it with a dry towel. Don’t go here — unless of course, you like arguing about every little detail on your car that you actually want clean.

The world’s slowest car wash. The first time I’ve been to a car wash being run by Asians. I came here cause it was right next to my office… $ 22 for the basic interior/​exterior wash… Should’ve checked the reviews before I came… Never coming back again. I wish I could get my money back, but the time and effort to do that won’t be worth it. NEVER AGAIN!!!
*UPDATE: been here for over 45 minutes and they are still not done with my car. WTF?!?*

I just left this business super pissed and disappointed.
They used to be really good at hand washing. After this visit today, they will never see me here again. You roll up to the car wash and a fobby kid will hand you a laminated menu of what service you want.
I initially was looking to get my car waxed but it was going to take longer so I said just the VIP Hand Wash. I took a stroll to Ranch 99 nearby to get some groceries. I was probably gone for about 30 mins and when I got back, my car was done. Odd I thought…
I did my walk through and when I opened my car doors, the inside rails were super dirty, I asked the old vietnamese man to wipe both back and front down. Then I noticed my front door dirty, the front bumper was not even cleaned, the tail light had bird poop on it still, I could go on!!!
There was nothing clean about my car except the dashboard! The seats were not even wiped down. THE F MAN!
I threw a total BF and asked where the manager was. He said the manager is not here today. Total bs… I pointed out more and more spots where to clean again with his little rag. Then told him to get some cleaning supply to use because that clearly was not working.
I left pissed as a volcano was about to erupt. When I got back to work I noticed the inside handle bar area was not even wiped down. My lord, please save your time and money to go elsewhere but here!
They are terrible and will rape you for your money. VIP hand wash my @$$… All they did was wipe down quickly with a damp cloth. My rant is over. But this review is accurate on the service I received from this place.

Do. Not. Go. Here. I brought my brand new car here to get washed and when they brought by car around (which was still somewhat dirty btw) the bumper was hanging off! I tried to calmly confront them about it and ask them what had happened, but the guy started yelling at me about how I brought it in like that just so I could try to blame the car wash and make them pay for it. After a while of them telling me they would report me, them telling me that it was my fault, and my personal favorite, that they make cars «cheap» these days, I finally called my dad down because I wasn’t getting anywhere. He drove all the way from Oakland so in that time I was trying to press to get the owners name or any kind of insurance info but they gave me nothing. They went to «check the footage» to see what my car looked like when it came in, and after about 10 minutes they came back and said they couldn’t access it apparently. That sounded like a coverup to me because they just didn’t want to take responsibility for messing up my car. By the time my dad got there, he was very angry. He went to the back and found the guys (who tried to leave when I told them my dad was coming to deal with this) and after about 10 minutes of arguing with them he finally got the name of the owner and got him to take responsibility for what happened. If it was just me, I would have been stuck paying $ 2500 myself for the repair. They thought because I was a young, unintimidating girl they could take advantage of me. So ridiculous. I will never so much as go to this gas station again, let alone the car wash. This is a fair warning to everyone that if you like your car to be intact, do not come here.

I paid $ 22 and they washed it in 10 mins and it’s terrible! I asked them to clean something and they tried 10 seconds and told me they can’t clean it! Never go there.

I should have learned my lesson the first two times and will never return to this location. Yes their lines are shorter than the carwash on Calaveras just over the overpass however paying $ 30 for a car wash for upgraded service and your car is still done in 5 minutes leaves me wondering. Even more I found four areas that were dirty and pointed them out. They were happy to clean them yes however when I drove off I found four more areas that were dirty. I will not return to this location ever again. Take a look upon entering the car wash area, take a look to the left it looks like a homeless camp with bottles and trash thrown all around it is filthy. These people don’t care about their reputation, in my opinion, otherwise under their Unilocal account they would have «Contact the Business». Since they do not, I am forced to place a bad review for all to see. Do yourself a favor and drive over the overpass to Calaveras and visit the AutoSpa on the right hand side. They spend a good amount of time on your vehicle.. be prepared to wait as they are always packed. One reason is, they take about 20 minutes to clean your car properly once they begin the cleaning process.

I paid extra to get my rims clean and my windshield still duty. I strongly don’t recommend this place to anyone.
They provide half ass service.

Poor customer service.

I found my new favorite car wash spot in Milpitas. I have taken my car here three times in the last six months and experienced no issues. They do a great job cleaning the the inside and outside. These guys working here are great and the prices are reasonable as well depending on the package you choose. Make sure to grab a $ 5 off coupon once you are done for the next visit!

They do a decent job. If you want them to pay attention to any area such as trunk or cup holder, just ask.
They are migrant Vietnamese workers so their English are not strong so it helps if you speak the language and I do.
But I was there when a few non-​Vietnamese speaking customers came in and they were able to take orders fine.

I hate writing 1 star reviews! And I knew it had poor ratings but I decided to go anyway because it’s the closest hand car wash to work and I didn’t need anything more than just a basic car wash anyway.
Let me preface this review by saying that it is a Vietnamese-​run operation with almost everyone speaking little to no English. I pulled up and without any sort of greeting, was handed a menu and gestured to pick a number. I cleaned out my car ahead of time to save them the trouble. Instead, I threw everything in the trunk and told them they don’t have to even touch anything in the trunk. Yes, I did have dog hair in the backseat though that needed to be vacuumed up (my long haired corgi is a shedder).
Everything seemed like your typical run of the mill, no frills operation. They vacuumed most of the dog hair, wiped down the interior but left the cup holder untouched. Lots of water spots left over though and tree sap spots still left on the windows, but whatever because I wasn’t expecting much from a $ 20 car wash. If I needed it to be super clean, I would’ve had it detailed like I normally do.
I handed the guy $ 10 tip, and as I drove off, I heard him rush over to tell the other men in Vietnamese: «WTF, she only gave us $ 10 tip, guys!» My blood is still boiling! I tipped you 50% on a $ 20 car wash and you’re complaining??? I almost wanted to turn right back around and give him a piece of my mind. You didn’t know I could understand your Vietnamese, did you?
NEVER AGAIN… no matter how conveniently located!

Most pathetic car wash I’ve paid for. Everything was half-​ass. At the end I spent 10 minutes telling the employee to re-​wipe several spots and re-​vacuum and spray all the areas left behind from the towel lint. If you want to get your 20 bucks worth, go elsewhere.

Pretty chill place, the Starbucks only opens M-​F.
I get my stable of cars washed monthly, my cars are all stanced (aggressively low) so I have to do the hand wash only, no problems what so ever. I always do a walk around before I hand them the ticket and if there is a streak, I let them know right away. They are all Vietnamese, I speak to them in Viet so it’s pretty chill.
I always choose package #4 for the stable:
— 2003 Mini Cooper S
— 2009 Volkswagon Golf
— 2013 Abarth
— 2002 BMW M3
— 2003 BMW M5
Package #2 and #3 are nice too. I would recommend them.

Got the Works+$ 35 as a gift from my gf. These guys were good a year ago when they did my gf car. Angry. I am annoyed at the poor job. They put my floor mats in my car still wet on the underside of my carpet. My trunk still had dirt on the edges. The dash protectant was spotty and and missef a lot of spots. Why the heck did they armorall my gear shift, it makes it slippery and oilly. They blew air out only one side of my car leaving water marks on my trunk, mirrors and doors. Really? I mean it wasnt even busy.

Why can’t I find a descent car wash in the south bay area. It really can’t be that hard! This place was so slow. They only had one guy drying cars off on a Saturday afternoon. They need more staff. I shouldn’t have to sit here for a hour when I just got my car washed (not detailed) and there were only three cars ahead of mine. They let cars sit there until the guy could get to it. The problem was it ended up leaving horrible spots/​water streaks on the car. This place is very pricey for the service you get. I don’t recommend this place and my quest to find a descent car wash south bay area continues.

Even though this place had terrible reviews, I came here because it was the closest place to my hotel and it was open early morning. I had a random attack of ants on my rental (which I killed the night before) but I needed a wash to rid of them. No one here spoke English and they had to refer me to a picture menu of the services offered because no one could even tell me what a basic wash would cost. They also did a really bad job of drying so the water left streaks on the car.

After multiple trips up and down I-​5, my car was a mobile entemology unit. We’re talking bug city. My brand-​new car looked 5 years old for all the dirt.
These guys did a great job. Not the fastest, but very thorough. Worth my $ 20 to see my car’s beauty restored. Very thorough job vaccuuming and getting all the dirt and smudges off.
Win!
