Costco Car Wash offers a quick and reasonably priced car wash service, with 5 rows of dryers that effectively dry vehicles. While the rinse may not completely clean the tires, leaving some white residue, the overall wash is considered a great value for the price. The car wash uses automated systems that make it fun and efficient, almost like a mini amusement park ride. Customers appreciate that they can put gas first and choose to add a car wash for $7.99 afterward, often avoiding busy times in the morning. Although the wash does a good job cleaning most dirt and grime, it may not fully remove dry bird poop or marks, which could require manual cleaning. The included tire and wheel cleaner was found to be disappointing, as tires and rims often remain just as dirty, prompting some customers to wipe them manually. One minor downside is the lack of vacuums inside the station, so customers usually bring a portable vacuum and drying rags for interior cleaning. Overall, Costco Car Wash provides a convenient, quick, and affordable option for those needing a decent car wash on the go.
If you just want a quick rinse and semi wash for $8, come here.
It's an express car wash, so don't expect much. For the price I'll gladly pay it for a quick shine from months of dust or dirt. It doesn't get a lot of the hard stuff out, but I don't expect express washes to be able to do that.
Would come again if and only if I happen to get gas at this Costco and my car was really really dirty.

Service still the best out of three so cal locations I e tried, but the drier hasn’t been working as well as the first few times I’ve been here. Leaves the windshield and other parts of my truck very wet. I realize I could set off myself, but I just need it clean enough to get back on the road and fine with a few drops, but last two trips were annoying enough to notice. Still great for $7.99, but hope it’s just a calibration issue and can get back to “good enough” and “dry enough” wash and dries so I can just be in and out like before.

4 stars - For an automated car wash, it’s not bad for $7.99. Been to all three...read full review
The car Washington is not bad for $8 but I definitely won't wash my cars again. I always wash my cars there but not any more last time I went the car was broke my side mirror, I filled a report, not expecting more than a mirror replacement. They took like almost 4 weeks to complete the report just to tell me that they were not gonna pay for anything because the mirror might be already broken, and there no proof of that so there was nothing to do, though the week before the incident I noticed that the almohorol for the tires wasn't working and still the day of the incident, a week after still wasn't working. So I wouldn't go for a car wash there again
