Autopia Carwash

The short: Better than the location on Dusterberry on Fremont.
I never knew finding a good car wash was going to be a challenge. Not every place is the same and not everybody within a single location has the same attention to detail.
I decided to give this place a shot, and it meets some of my qualifications of semi-​proximity, semi-​thoroughness, and speed. It takes about 15 minutes for me to drive here, I saw them take out the car mat to give it a good vacuum, when the Dusterberry place people didn’t even do that, and they said it takes about 20 minutes, which it did (yes! — some places take longer =.=).
What it doesn’t meet are the cost: $ 22 + tip for a basic exterior and interior clean? Is that the typical price for a basic interior/​exterior clean? Thank goodness my car doesn’t need to be washed that often. They also missed some spots, but given that Autopia is more for speed, I can live with that.
Well, I’ll keep looking though if I’m in a pinch, I’ll come back.

This is seriously the best car wash place I’ve ever been to! I purchased the monthly package and thought it was just going to be the usual basic type wash you come to expect from a drive-​thru car wash. You know the ones that miss half of the car… Anyways I was in shock when I noticed them going over the entire outside of the car with compressed air and detailing all the nooks to make sure everything was clean. Just when I thought they were done they started vacuuming and wiping the interior down! Windows, car mats, the whole works! They even put tire dressing on it! My first reaction was they must have made a mistake and thought I upgraded my wash, but then when I came back a week later they did the same thing! Seriously my car has never been this clean!
Hats off to you guys for creating such a great car washing service! If your strategy is to shock and awe the customer at first impression to gain a return customer it worked. Ill be renewing my monthly service next month!

Took my baby to get washed here this weekend but had a terribly unpleasant experience. Everything was going A-​OK until a couple waiting near me brought to my attention that my sedan was in trouble. To give you a visual, my car had just gone through the washing tunnel and was completely done, yet no one had come to move my car to where they dry it off. I don’t know what was going through their head when they sent an SUV down the conveyer as my car was still not moved yet. Next thing you know, the SUV pushes my car at least a good five feet until the couple and I called out for someone to attend to the problem. If I didn’t notice this, my car would have ran straight into the yellow-​ish wall thats slightly perpendicular to the exit of the car wash tunnel. Anyway, they move my car to the area to dry and I go over there to check out my bumper, while the employees were acting so nonchalant about the entire situation saying that «my car is fine.» Is this a norm for them or something? Although I was super annoyed, I didn’t notice any damage on my bumper before or after they dried my car so I just left afterwards. Upon parking at home, I decided to take a closer look and I found that there was actually a few black marks and scratches on the curves of my bumper, and also the paint chipped a little on the corner. I’m upset with myself that I didn’t ask to speak to a manager or made a bigger deal at the time, but that’s why writing this review and warning you Unilocalers about my experience. If you ever go to this car wash, PLEASE watch your car because the employees here seem to be way too preoccupied to be mindful of your car, or even give a decent car wash for that matter.

I highly recommend Autopia (Newark), they are awesome! The manager is very personable, he was great! It is clear to see that he loves what he does and takes pride in his work. He made personal recommendations to meet my needs and showed me photos of previous detail jobs. Service was quick but efficient. I was very happy with the service I received. I will definitely be returning to this location regularly.

Did a grand job cleaning my car inside and out hasnt been this clean since it was new. Recommended

I hope I would never come to this car wash place. I brought in my new car and came out with a large scratch on it. I talked to manager, and he said the scratch was here when I bought the car in, but they reject to show me the recorded video. The reason is they are all busy! WTF!

They do a very good job at this Auto Topia good attention to detail car smelled good was nice and clean they got it in and out rather quick the top-​of-​the-​line treatment was $ 30 that is the highest priced wash

I took my car there for the first time. I paid $ 29.95 for the Ultimate Wash. They did a decent job, but missed a lot of spots that I had to go back and wipe down on my own once I got home. I won’t be going back there. If you do go, don’t expect a very high attention to detail.

this place is great.
I was going to go to my usual spot but its farther away from where I’m at. So I decided to Unilocal it and found this place. Saturday afternoon and this place wasn’t packed at all. I dropped off my car, chose the type of wash, paid inside (and bought me an Icee) then waited for my car. I was pessimistic about how clean the inside is going to be… since I have a toddler, my interior is pretty messy.
My car is clean and shiny. Fast service as well.
thanks!

I highly recommend Autopia. I trust this place, everyone here is friendly, nice, and professional. Especially Geronimo he keeps our car looking fresh & clean every time I’ve taken it there. I’ve been taking our car here since I have kids my car is constantly messy. They do a great job and attention to detail.
I used to take my car to Fremont location back in the days and it was always a hit or miss but I was desperate to get my car cleaned. I am so happy they opened this location I will never go anywhere else. Price is reasonable & I recommend monthly package it’s worth it when u have kids!!! Make sure to tip them when done!

Always took my Beemer to autopia in dusterberry way. But they were not that precise in the cleaning for the money they charge. So thought let me try this one after reading the reviews.
These guys are really good. I wanted didn’t clean the inside of my car for almost a month just to see how detailed they are for what the reviews claim.
They did a great job. Will take my car again even though it’s 6 miles and (10 car washes in the way) away from where I live but it’s worth it.
Price $ 28.99 is a little higher tough.

4.5 stars
I wasn’t too happy when the guy said that I will be charged an extra $ 3 for having a «longer vehicle»… But nevertheless, they did an exceptional job on my mini van. I had the 3^rd row down and they lifted the seats and vacuumed the floors and all of the 3^rd row seats. They even vacuumed the top of my kids’ carseats, removed them from their seats and vacuumed it. Everything was lifted up and vacuumed. Which is how it should be done than those other places where they only vacuum around areas and spots.
I went early in the morning and was their first customer of the day and was in and out in less than 30mins.

Real good service never have a complain I personally ask for Geronimo real good with the cars leaves them very clean and is a very honest guy dropped a 20 dollar bill under seat on purpose to test them out 100% honest found it and placed it in the cup holder and let me know he did always very welcoming and make sure your day is going good. If it not he can tell and will do what he can to brighten up somebody’s day! Don’t believe me ask for him and witness it your self!

Best car wash I have ever been to. As someone who has worked in customer service I have to say the staff is very friendly, detailed, and quick! Can’t find anything to complain about. Ask for Geronimo he is the best!

No complaints. They do a good job of cleaning my car. Still new so it’s not even busy. So that is good if you need to get in and out.
