Express Car Wash @ Shell offers a decent drive-through car wash service at a reasonable price. Customers note that the wash effectively cleans vehicles, though many mention that dirt can still be left behind. A common concern is the absence of a built-in dryer, which means drivers need to dry their cars themselves or drive quickly afterwards to prevent water spots. The staff, particularly at the register, is friendly and helpful, contributing to a pleasant experience. The location also provides free air for tires and has affordable fuel prices. For those looking to keep their cars clean without spending too much, it's a suitable option, especially with the recommended supreme wash for just a small extra cost.
Shell at Sepulveda and Venice Blvd charges less for a better car wash and has a dryer included. This place has an old ratchety wash with no dryer yet wants $3 more for the best wash option. Check side by side receipts below. Just ripping people off.

Got a car wash and it cost more than I was expecting. On top of that, they do not have a dryer for your car. You wash and drive away in a wet car.
No dryer for your car. Bring towels.

I’ve gone here for years and it was ok when they charged a reasonable price, under $10. I was shocked to find the express wash, their cheapest, is now $16. This is for a barely adequate car wash that doesn’t dry your car, and no interior cleaning. Spend a few more bucks and just go to a hand wash down the street!
