“The actual car wash is terrific. But, there are OTHER PROBLEMS you must be aware of.You need to be VERY CAREFUL if you're buying a monthly car wash pass. They DO NOT disclose to you that have agreed to a recurring monthly fee. For the time being, I am paying for my monthly car wash pass, in person, and just one month at a time.Also, you will be charged a $10 membership fee. Apparently, this is optional and provides no apparent advantages. They do not disclose this to you either. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY UPPER MANAGEMENT THAT THE SO-CALLED MEMBERSHIP FEE IS NOT MANDATORY, yet their front-line service people were unaware that the "membership" is totally optional.I have now visited a couple of their other locations. The staff there were completely unaware of the monthly recurring automatic payment. In every case, they were also unaware of the $10 membership fee being optional. Apparently, they are not taught this by management.When I returned to their Lodi location a week or two after my very first visit it was to question them about why they paid themselves from my checking account, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Here's what I was told: "I don't know the other person's 'spiel', but here's what I'm telling customers with my spiel..." I let them know that they didn't need to tell me anything else. (A "spiel", or practiced presentation, is a form of persuasion.)The word "spiel" is typically used in the world of sales. Why in the world would you need sales techniques when the person standing in front of you extends their credit card and tells you exactly what they want to buy??? It appears that their front-line people are being taught sales techniques when the reality is that they are simple order-takers. (No offense intended.) A boneheaded, upper-management decision that also build up their bottom line.At that point, I asked them to let me talk to the manager. However, as he was away on vacation, I spoke with his substitute. That person was a total clown. (The Lodi location's manager WAS on vacation, yet he phoned me later that evening. He seemed a good person and I have no doubts about that. He told me how things are supposed to work.)"Clown" is not a term I typically use, but after many weeks of thinking about this, there's nothing else that fits. I have never spoken to anybody at the management level of any other business who was less serious than this fellow. He did not take my questions or complaints seriously and deflected at every opportunity.For example, I asked if he felt his employees might be liable for fraud because of their not fully informing their customers. This fellow stopped me in my tracks, and said, "We don't have employees. The people you see working here are our 'partners.'" You know, when people have been infected with "corporate speak" it often completely affects their ability to see things objectively. He totally missed the point that poor guidance from management can put their workers in legal peril.Only a couple of weeks after visiting Quick Quack for the first time, two of my checks were returned for insufficient funds. Not because I mismanaged my account, but because Quick Quack made what I describe as an unauthorized withdrawal from my account.This was one of several things that the substitute manager absolutely refused to acknowledge. I wasn't looking for compensation and made that clear. BUT there IS a direct line between their failure to make proper disclosure about their payments and the $50 in bank fees I incurred. The dude just whistled right past that little problem as if it didn't exist.I would have to say that Quick Quack Car Wash's business model regarding the handling of monthly subscriptions is, at a minimum, misguided. At worst, it is deliberately dishonest. Somewhere in the middle of those two extremes is the possibility of a disconnected upper management who has made at least one extremely poor choice regarding the concept of monthly c”

“I had an excellent experience at Ellis Car Wash. From the moment I pulled in, the staff was friendly, professional, and clearly took pride in their work. They were efficient without rushing, and you can tell they pay attention to the details that a lot of other car washes miss.

My car came out looking spotless—inside and out. The exterior had a great shine, the wheels were thoroughly cleaned, and the interior looked refreshed and well taken care of. Even the small areas like cup holders and door panels were cleaned properly, which really stood out to me.

What I appreciated most was the consistency and quality. It didn’t feel like a quick, basic wash—it felt like they genuinely cared about the final result. Pricing was fair for the level of service provided, and the overall experience was smooth and hassle-free.

If you’re in the Lodi area and want a reliable, high-quality car wash, I’d definitely recommend Ellis Car Wash. I’ll be coming back again.”

“The location opens at 7 in the morning, and it’s really great. Their employees work very perfectly, their work gets done very quickly, and they wash the trailer very clean. The washout is also clean, fast service, and their service is very nice.”

“Thank you for always helping out. I have known this guy for 7-10 years and helped me out many times. Always does an excellent job and charges way less than everyone else out there! Nice honest person. It’s always good to see buddy!”

“HOT WATER for CAR WASH ???

Drove back from Denver and the front end of my car was filled with bugs. Normally it takes a while to get rid of bugs but with hot it was just instant.

Ignore all the stupid reviews. I like to keep my car clean and go to self service car wash on a regular basis, so trust me when I say this, if you want to save money and save your back just go to this place and you will thank me later.

This place deserves an Oscar. This is the Louis Vuitton of car washes just because it has hot water.”

“I love this place!!!! Always great svc!!!! Everyone is so nice, they even stayed late, when I was vacuuming my car. Now that's 5 🌟 service. 😉”

“So very impressive new ownership business. David had a contact sticker up it appears directly to his cell and he answered directly . How often does that happen these days! His car wash is so much nicer with everything functioning correctly, compared to the overpriced 3rd rate places I normally deal with in Modesto. The spots I have been going to prior turned off their warm water and increased prices, they got so cheap. Really nice guy as I called to thank him for delivering when so many people and businesses these days don't give a crap.”

“BEST Touchless wash around. The quality I’m used to getting from a Touchless wash. This one actually gets your car CLEAN!Unlike several other stations (Shell) that have a Touchless option, ($16) but they don’t use adequate soap nor are the jets powerful enough. Yes, $16 and you are still made to rely on rubber brushes that leave scratches all over you car and rip off mirrors and trim. They don’t use enough soap, if any at all, and the dryer shuts of early.Don’t waste your money at any other gas station wash. Thank you for having an affordable wash ($9 for the ultimate) that actually does the job!!”

“I love this place! Atta, the manager is such a nice man, always says hello and asks me how myself and my babies are. And my favorite cashier is Illiana. She is an amazing, super kind woman. She and I always have our little conversations when I go in as I live right around the corner. Not sure about the other cashiers' names but most of them are kind and helpful. Illiana deserves a raise! She's such a hard worker. Their prices are good and Illiana is fast, she will work two registers at one time if there's more than two people waiting in line. She's familiar with all the products and gives great recommendations.

Sending love Atta and Illiana! ???”

“I see that some others have had bad experiences here. Likewise, different places at different times. I've had the same negative experience. However, my experience here was a very positive one with a very attentive crew.

Like anything else. I made it very clear what my expectations were and they didn't seem to have any difficulty in meeting them.”

“Love this store. I know all the employees and they know me which makes every trip a fun experience because it's like visiting friends. I highly suggest doing by if you're in the area, you'll be pleasantly surprised.”

“After having a difficult time with my lanes gate malfuntioning i did not getting the car wash i paid for and i was upset after paying $20 then getting home to realize my car looked horrible. I came back to the car wash after many attempts of trying to get ahold of management a week later and the guy working the car wash offered to give me a free wash. Mistakes happen but im happy they took care of me at the end of the day after learning about the issue.”
