Hollywood Riviera Car Wash

I’ve been here more than a few times. Maybe 8 total. I don’t quite understand the overall extreme low rating. This place is probably on average a 3 ½ star all things considered.
They do upsell you so don’t get tricked unless you’re comfortable with their work. Always start with the basic to see if you like them. I’ve had their premium or whatever they call it and I don’t think it’s worth the money (can’t tell the difference from a basic). But their basic wash it really quite adequate. Get two dollars off on Wednesday for a 12 dollar wash.
Generally I don’t any complaints. Every time I was there they greeted me nicely while trying to upsell gently which is just fine. I really don’t see much significant leftover dirt or water spot. Is it perfect? No. But after driving for 5 mins, all is forgotten.
Keep in mind this is a car wash and not a detail. Expectation is everything. I certainly understand some of the reviews and bad service/​attitude should never be tolerated, but some of the bad reviews are way unreasonable and I think only reflect poorly of the reviewers (angry with themselves? take themselves too seriously?).
to be transparent, i drive a porsche 911 and i love this car as much as i do my tacoma and i’ve been to many car washes. none was perfect — honestly can’t tell any difference really. the work is half manual labor and it costs 12 bucks, be cool…

They do an unbelievable crappy job. After my car was «all done» it had baked on water spots, streaked Windows AND fricken scratches in the paint. I will never, ever go back here. I strongly advise you to stay away!

Honestly, it’s a horrible car wash no matter which service you pick. I’ve made the mistake of coming here too many times due to the location. Called the owner multiple times to voice my concerns, not once have I received a response.
Bummer

went early on Sunday morning, very quick, cordial and good service, happy to see they use the air blowers to remove excess water around mirrors, doors, etc.

Despite the 2 star rating, I was hopeful that they’d improved given the more recent reviews.
Overall: Poor service and poor quality, do not go — don’t be tempted by the low price. I would have been better off washing it myself.
1. I got up sold (my fault), but given after the subpar job that was done, I was not happy that I paid $ 20 for a subpar wash.
2. I had to go through the car for 10 minutes and inspect and pointed out many places that were missed. This is just for an exterior clean, not even interior!
3. When asked about the waterspots on the window, the cleaner kept insisting those were inevitable. That is not true, it can be prevented by drying immediately after.

The best time for me to go is early morning. Right as they open, I roll up and do the usual Wednesday wash and wax. Simple easy wash that gets the job done. I believe I got the express wash once and my car came out looking like it was ready for a car show. Every time I come and get my car washed/​cleaned it comes out looking nice. They get every spot and make the interior look clean and smell good. Appreciate the time they spend on the car. Staff is great, prices/​deals are great, and overall service is great. Appreciate what you guys do!

It’s a carwash. They have a decent waiting area, with fresh baked cookies (which is a nice touch). I’ve visited this location a few times for cleaning and have always been happy with the results. Always ask if there are any specials for the day.

Rip off, Charged for Wash and wax $ 29.95 but the Wednesday special is $ 11.95. When I went in to the cashier and asked about it she started reading from some poster board because she either didn’t know or was part of the scheme to rip people off.
And I love getting told to hang on when paying so the cashier could send a text. Customer service is a joke here.
Stay away, don’t use these thieves, plenty of good places to choose from in the South Bay.

I love Hollywood Riviera Car Wash! They are extremely friendly, excellent customer service and they do a great job! I used Carson Car wash before and they punctured my tire, and did absolutely nothing about it. I switched to Hollywood Riviera Car wash and always had a great service. I recommend this place to my friends and family. There is always discounts available.
Overall AMAIZING car wash! I love supporting local businesses and this one really deserves 5 stars! Love this place

Have had a positive experience the last few times I have visited the Hollywood Riviera Car Wash– I even brought my dog once after a trip to the vet and we were able to relax outside. Waiting area is comfortable with bathrooms, coffee (I haven’t tried it though) and cookies. Also a small store with gas station type items, cards, etc. The crew is usually fast, efficient, and complete so am on my way in no time.

Took my car in today and they did a wonderful job. I bought the $ 60 package that includes wash, wax and they threw in two mats to be shampooed. My car is clean on the inside and the outside is very nice.
I deducted one star because I didn’t realize there is a coupon that regularly goes out that has a promotion for this package for $ 40. I had already paid and by the time I found it, it was too late. It’s my fault completely, but it would have been nice if they let me know i could easily pull it up on my phone. Would have saved me $ 20. Still, the customer service and quality was great. No complaints.

We appreciate this neighborhood business.
A very good customer experience.

Amazing car wash! Very friendly, thorough, and great prices. There seems to always be a coupon attainable if desired.
Plus it’s in the middle of the riviera so if you want to get an errand done you can walk To local establishments to save time.
Love this place

I don’t know why there are so many low reviews for this place but I had no complaints. I brought my classic car here, a 67′ Camaro and they did a fine job. They taped the windows for me because I told them they didn’t close all the way. It kept the water from coming inside. It costed like 3 bucks extra for the tire shine and the car was clean on the inside and out.
The cleaning itself only took about 20 mins and they have a small seating area in the back. You can sit and watch while they do the cleaning like most car washes have.
Maybe others have had bad experiences here but my experience was great.

This is probably the worst car wash that I have ever visited. The wash itself took over an hour. the detailer did not even clean the windows and left more streaks. I asked him to clean the step on the car door. He said that he tried and it did not come off. I took a towel and wiped it off without any effort. He did not even try, but had the audacity to lie about it. The interior was not vacuumed clean. Very disappointed. I should have read the reviews first prior to visiting. Never again.

This place is good for people in a rush and just want to get their car looks clean. First visit got my car washed and wax. Got home disappointed the birds shit still there. Just like other people reviews they do a SLOPPY job for wiping your car. I guess you got what you paid for $ 11.95…

I don’t recommend this place. They do a sloppy work on wiping the dashboard and mirrors. They don’t vacuum the seat well. If I were you guys, BEWARE!!!

Really don’t understand the 2 stars. I have always had good service here. It’s quick and the job is well done. When it’s not you tell them and they act right away.
The price is right and I like that the waiting area is nice. Not the most comfortable but okay.
They have coffee and fresh cookies as well for free
They are conveniently located next to alberston, chipotle and peets if you want to get something while waiting!

I came here to get a car wash and did not enjoy my experience. I got the standard car wash, which is about $ 13. They promised to clean the inside, outside, and my tires thoroughly but I came back to a car that was not dry and very spotty.

This place has improved a great deal
Good job managers owners and workers I’m giving you three stars
I wanted to give you four but you started off really bad
but probably next time I will give you four.
the hospitality if the front desk girl (tall with straight hair) I give you an extra star
