Santa Barbara is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Santa Barbara follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Took my $5 and didn't give any change - there is a phone number listed there, but no one answers - so I just got cheated out of $5!

Owner only cares about $$$. He told me off for "hand washing my car" even though I explained I was detailing spots with a clay bar mitt since the brush can't remove stubborn grime. I understand you run a business but there's a clear difference between someone detailing vs bucket washing (also mind you that I came here around 7:30am as to be able to do a thorough cleaning without holding up people behind me). His dismissive tone made it clear he wants people to leave his car wash unhappy and with a dirty car after paying $12. I have been coming here for car washes for a while. But now I'm taking my business somewhere else. Hopefully he doesn't own the other self service in town.

Sunday, February 1st,2026. I went to my favorite car wash. I started with $12. The dial didn't work. I got $12. worth of nothing. I tried $4. more. I put a sign on the slot 3rd from the left. I wrote broken and roto for Spanish speakers. There was a number to call. Of course it didn't work. I used the one next to it and I hope my sign saved other customers. I'm an old lady and $16. is a lot for me.

Be very careful. A few days ago I went to that place to wash my RV class B, a large van. Their first wash system has a staircase that makes it easier to wash the top of the car. I put quarters for $4 inside the payment system; it never started. I tried everything. I asked people. It never started. I lost $4 to those creeps. There is no phone number and no one to call; nothing. You have to be lucky to be able to wash your car I guess. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. THIEVES!

No frills but very dated DIY car wash with a number of washing and drying stations. Everything is coin operated with no time meters so you have to learn by experience. Visited during our road trip in June 2024. In the morning there no attendants for assistance if needed. Pumps are ok but you need to know what you are doing. Full deep cleaning may take more than 2 cycles. Only advantage is it is fairly accessible and is 24x7.
