Oxnard Self Service Car Wash & Vacuums is a premier self-service car wash in Ventura County, described as a favorite and one of the last such locations in the region. The self-serve bays start at $3 for four minutes and include high pressure rinse, high pressure soap, high pressure wax, foam brush soap, spot free rinse, and handheld air dryers. It offers good pressure to wash bugs and bird crap off the car and the spot-free rinse works well. The business also provides combo vacuums with turbo suction, shampooers, fragrances, and vending machines for cleaning supplies. Reviews note it is reasonably priced with both coin and credit payment options. The facility is generally seen as very well maintained and clean with good, high-quality soaps and brushes. However, some notes mention the bays are dimly lit at night with no lot lighting. While the vacuums are nice and have good suction, a hose was once reported with a gash. The location itself sees some undesirable foot traffic and a rougher crowd in the surrounding plaza, which is attributed to neighboring businesses. The pavement has recently been replaced, addressing previous concerns about a cruddy surface. It is considered a solid car wash, not the best but a reliable choice with few other options available.
