Auto Pride Self Serv Car Wash

Never had any problems here. Took off 1 star because sometimes it’s super crowded and there’s no where to really park your car and wait while a bay opens up.

I went to Bay #5 for 4 minutes and the machine did not start until 1 minute later. Basically, I lost 1 minute worth of time. I then added more quarters after the end of time, but every time the machine started back up, I would loose 5 – 10 seconds. Lastly, my last quarter I put in for time, I got no power in the nozzle… even though the seconds countdown counted down from 30 seconds to 0 seconds!

Long wait times, foam brush didn’t work in my stall, cramped area, be very careful driving around it.

Would give ZERO stars if possible. First time there was a Nightmare.
I was there a few weeks ago & it was packed. There were no vacuums avail and no where to wait AFTER washing your car. I was parked near a wall waiting for a space when a short mexican man (from the rim shop next store, claimed to be the owner, (unbelievable based on how he was dressed and spoke) yelled at me to MOVE. I explained I was waiting for a vacuum and he told me to wait ACROSS the street? I? explained I was a paying customer who had JUST paid to wash my car and waiting for a vacuum. He yelled and said, if I didn’t like it I could «LEAVE.» Then I vacuum then became avail and I moved into the space. However, once I started to use the vacuum, it fell apart as I was vacuuming. Talked to the guy next to me who said «all the vacuums are POS.» They fall apart and barely have any suction.
STAY AWAY!!! Horrible experience.

Absolutely recommend this car wash. Good location, clean and friendly guy is there to help. Change machine works and my wash was 4.25, vacuum 1.25. Completely satisfied & will be a return customer.

Omg how can’t ppl appreciate this lovely establishment. Yea it may be a lil sketch but its a 24 hour car wash of course its going to have its flaws.
The greatest thing about this place is the fact that its open 24hrs that means you don’t and shouldn’t go during normal peek hrs (ie 11 – 3 on a Saturday) of course it will be crowded. But I went a random Friday at 1030pm and there were only 3 other cars.
As other reviews state there’s a nifty quarter machine which will give you change. You must have quarters to wash and vacuum so bring that or dollar bills to change out.
The wash is timed and you can get about 5 mins for $ 4. It doesn’t seem like a lot if time but it was plenty time for me to use all the cool washing features. They have high and low power soap, a cool foaming brush that allows you to scrub away the dirt, a polish for extra gloss and tire and engine cleaner. Basically the works at any drive thru car wash. The only difference is there’s no fancy dryer. YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS! The machines that dispense the drying towels weren’t working so just in case I wld bring my own. The towels are about a buck for two.
The vacuum station offers two options just a reg vacuum or one with smell goods of cheery or lemon. I opted for the reg vacuum. It didn’t have a time limit but when I switched from the reg vacuum yo the ones with smells the session ended. So be sure to start off with what you really want.
Overall fun place to wash your car if your looking to clean late night when its not hot and crowded.

Clean, works well but more expensive than west side self car washes. I have been at many self car wash places. This one is clean and all stations have proper equipment which is well maintained. The only down side is the price which is more than I pay at some of the ones I tried on the west side and culver city.

This place is great however it’s located in a very busy location. It’s always hard to leave the place on either side.
The facility is not always clean and some machines are occasionally out of order but will have signed to let you know of they are out of order. A lot of people come here for quarters (including me!) so that they can do laundry.

I love this place. Convenient location… not exactly the safest neighborhood but I’ve been coming here for years.
Relatively cheap… for $ 5 worth of quarters I can get my car washed, waxed, tired dressing and vacuumed with the satisfaction of doing it myself, …within 5 – 10 minutes…

Over the years, this place has gone downhill. It IS in Van Nuys after all.
I find their machines cheat ya outta time, the water pressure is enough to wash but not overly impressive. The brushes are dirty, and the place isn’t well kept either. It’s usefull if you need a quick-​n-​dirty wash, but otherwise go elsewhere or use your driveway…
Me, I’m gonna try somewhere in Burbank. It’s a nicer area, should be better places, right?..

Are you f-​ing kidding me? Low water pressure dirty stalls and their vacums suck…

I love washing my car here.
Their are about 8 stalls to wash your car in… Has vacuums and a covered area (recently installed) where you can dry off your car and vacuum it out.
It can get pretty crowded on the weekends or HOT days.
It usually cost me about $ 3.75/$ 4.00 for a good soapy pre rinse… then use the foaming soapy brush… and then just rinse it off
Has machines to get quarters too. for $ 1,5,10 & 20’s
It is right on the corner so you can’t miss it. In the Van Nuys area basically their are 2 hand car washes that I know of. This one is by FAR the best one… and the ONLY one I will go too 8))
Soooooo~~~~If your ride is a Lil ashy or just needs a bath… come on over
