“I’ve been a regular customer at Ducky’s Car Wash a few years now, and they never fail to deliver a reliable and fast service. The team here clearly takes pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of every wash.
Recently, I experienced an issue with my car wash and express wax service. What impressed me most was how quickly their regional manager, Michael, reached out to me personally to address the situation. He genuinely wanted to know how they could make things right, and they absolutely followed through on making it better.
This kind of proactive customer service is rare these days. It’s clear that Ducky’s doesn’t just talk about customer satisfaction – they actively work to ensure it.”

“Not much to say about Arco. They are great.
The missing star is because it has a small cash desk in the center and no grocery store.
Wally Jo's THUMBS-UP.”
“I had a free car wash coupon from my oil change place, so I decided to give this spot a try. When I arrived, I was directed to the drive-through wash. The attendant took my coupon and guided me in. I put the car in neutral, and the wash itself was quick and easy. Once I came out, a few staff members dried off my car, leaving it looking spotless. The whole process was fast and convenient—I’d definitely come back again.”
“Just had my tints put on my Cadillac CT6 and my C7 Corvette by these guys and I couldn’t be happier. They came to my house and knocked them out and left them looking like new vehicles. Their customer service is excellent and prices are beyond reasonable. Ruben the owner was recommended to us by a friend and we had to call her to thank her for connecting us with Ruben. Him and his boy came and did the damm thang.
Again thank you guys for making my cars look just like I had envisioned. I will be hitting them up in the near future for some details as well.
From Nelson the happy customer.”
“Great car wash with every type of wash packages you can imagine. From simple drive through exterior washes to full on professional detailing! They’ve got a package for everyone. The prices are also fair in my opinion - unlike some other car washes in the Bay Area. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and always great customer service at the entrance.
Bonus: If you sign up for their text messages / make an account you get a free car wash on your birthday! Yay.
Highly recommend this place.”
“I bought an 11-year-old used MINI Cooper. Even though it had been garaged and had clean bodywork and paint, two areas needed addressing: 1) evidence of rats under the hood (eww, poop and chewed wires ?), and 2) the car smelled like dog and I could see fur on the headliner. I got the Full Interior and Engine Bay services.
Holy wow, after the detailing the car looks NEW!! It didn't occur to me to take before and after pictures, I wish I could show you. Both the engine bay and the interior of the car are now pristine. Leather seats were conditioned, they're now gorgeous and I'm extremely happy. Kudos to Kevin and his crew for doing an excellent job. Highly recommended!”
“The place is small but clean and easy to use. The instructions are clear, and one can use debit or credit cards directly, so there are no issues of carrying cash.”
“Not a bad car wash. That said I only use the vacuuming component for the shared employee company shop (vehicle). The vacuum has a powerful sucking action. It doesn't disappoint. I use my debit card for a one swipe, no pin feature, which activates the vacuum after a few seconds. The first time I did this, my debit card showed a pending charge of $10, but once settled, the actual charge is $3. The time allotted for vacuuming is ok. I haven't time it but I'm guessing 8 minutes? You'll have ample time. And finally, this establishment is super busy on the weekends. Cheers”

“Greatly needed edition to the downtown area. It's on Union, but the gas pumps face State Street. Wanted to throw that in there to give orientation because all the streets downtown are one-way. Unlike some other convenience stores (there aren't many) downtown, this one is nice and clean. It's your typical Shell, so you'll find the usual. Yay for Slurpees!! Friendly staff. Nice place to stop for gas or a snack.”

“This is or local Shell Gas station and we fill 90% of our gas here. In the past, there were some issues with the pumps not auto-filling and you had to hold down the lever. For 20 gallons, this would start to hurt your hands. Thankfully they have fixed this issue. I get my car washed here also and have never had an issue. If you sign up for a car wash, you get 20 cents off per gallon. This is also a great place to buy lottery tickets or a soda for the road. My family is pretty happy with this Shell.”
“Golden State Auto Salon did an amazing job, and I highly recommend reaching out to them. After getting competitive quotes from others, we chose them, and I'm so glad we did. Brandon was super responsive and got us scheduled the very next morning. The crew went above and beyond with a comprehensive Interior and Exterior Detailing plus a very thorough Paint Correction service. It was my first time getting paint correction and it made our 5 year old Tesla Model 3 look like it just rolled off the factory floor! Highly recommend Brandon and his team; they'll take great care of your car.”
