“Highly recommend Brandon and his team at Golden State Auto Salon! I brought my car in for a ceramic coating, ceramic tint, and smoked headlights, and they did an amazing job. Brandon took care of everything from the moment I dropped it off and really knows his stuff. He even noticed details about my car that I hadn’t picked up on myself. I came back to a car that looked brand new. Super happy with how everything turned out. Thank you, Brandon and team!”

“The best place!!! I've been taking my car here for years. I'm actually not sure how long, but they're the only folks I trust with my '84. They always do a spectacular job, so I highly recommend them. In fact, I've recommended them to lots of folks. Everyone is super knowledgeable and know how to get and keep cars looking spectacular!”

“I got the silver ceramic coating package on my Lexus NX and I couldn’t be happier. Kevin was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Service was done after a few hours but done with perfection. I was also provided with detailed digital and physical aftercare instructions that addressed any questions I had. Thank you Kevin, I’ll be coming back!”

“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.”

“Went in for a full service cleaning, can’t be more happy! Service was quick and the waiting area is super nice.

One minor thing is there are quite a bit exterior debris that could have been cleaned up , but not sure if it’s included in the $79.99 service or not.

Didn’t bring it up because all staffs are pretty busy at other tasks. Regardless, a solid 5 star, will come back.”

“we stopped here on a whim after the road trip and honestly it was the best decision. i think i spent more on the detailing spray than the actual wash but the pressure was strong and everything came off so easy no spots left. the vaccuum was actually powerful too which is rare these days usually they just blow air around. my friend told me about this place last month and i wish i had knew sooner becuase its so convienent and cheap.

Im all about that spotless finish and the dryers down the line definalely helped. yeah we will be back next weekend for sure.”

“The reason I am writing this is review: one of the employees opened a package in front of me with his teeth before handing it over.
Maybe just a me-issue, but aside from medical issues I can see from a man’s lips and saliva gently rubbing over a product that I’m about to use, I see a major demand for a box cutter to make sure the shrink wrap wouldn’t hurt the lips/teeth/gums of the employee.

I have been at this gas station/car wash probably over 30 times so far.
I like that it is located at a great spot, always available for pumping gas, can park around the lot when done.
Gets an added star for not having seen any vagrant characters once!

Negative/neutral: staff is friendly, but usually can’t speak even basic English - for picking a product or having a receipt printed-.

It happened to me twice that the car wash number on the receipt didn’t work, so I had to circle around to ask for a different car wash number.
(Major comms issue here)

The car wash has some valve issue, so the car gets sprayed with leaking water/chemical after done, and leaves foamy residues after the blowers.
The blowers are running way too short for my full size sedan, definitely not long enough for an SUV or truck.”

“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.”
